ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE is a must-have title because when you find yourself soaring through its skies, flying through clouds as you search for your next target, or listening to your squadron over the radio, the game manages to convey exactly that feeling of being an elite pilot. The campaign, the variety of aircraft, the progression, and spectacular audiovisuals come together to form a very solid package. Yes, ACE COMBAT is back, and it maintains an outstanding standard.

Minecraft Dungeons II comes highly recommended because it represents a significant step forward from the first game with the addition of an interconnected world, while also introducing “The Sift,” a new dimension coming to the franchise after more than 14 years. It’s a lot of fun whether you’re playing solo, with friends, or with other players on any platform. Although the endgame still has room to grow, the game as a whole works well and offers an accessible experience with plenty of possibilities. It does a great job of capitalizing on the Minecraft universe.

Marvel's Wolverine comes highly recommended because it proves that Logan is capable of carrying an action-packed story all on his own. Insomniac has successfully captured this character’s strength and fury, all accompanied by great characters and top-notch audiovisuals. It’s true that some repetition can take its toll, but this is a straightforward, brutal, and very faithful adventure that makes you feel like Wolverine for a few hours.

Graveyard Keeper 2 is recommended because it successfully expands significantly upon the formula without losing the essence of its predecessor. Cemetery management remains the core pillar, but a wealth of additional content has been added—including zombies, which open up all sorts of possibilities. It can feel overwhelming and confusing at first, but once you grasp how the systems work, it becomes highly entertaining. Ultimately, it is a bigger, more ambitious sequel that offers hours of enjoyment.

The Blood of Dawnwalker comes highly recommended because it’s an RPG with its own distinct identity, thanks to several ideas that work very well together. The protagonist’s duality, the time system, and the weight of the decisions players make set it apart from many other open-world games. It’s not without its issues, but its strengths outweigh its flaws. This is a dark fantasy adventure with personality, great ideas, and a more than promising foundation.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy comes highly recommended because it features a very interesting and well-crafted story. Furthermore, the shift toward an adventure with more action, exploration, and puzzles works quite well. Combat is probably the area with the most room for improvement, but it doesn't detract from an experience that is very polished in terms of narrative, audiovisuals, and gameplay.

NBA 2K27 comes recommended because it once again demonstrates that Visual Concepts has a well-established formula for its basketball simulator. This time around, the game has received a significant number of new features spread across virtually all of its game modes. The gameplay has gained depth with more physical defense, new offensive tools, and greater customization.

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is probably the best Hot Wheels video game to date. Milestone gets it right with a fun open world to explore, great activities, races that are more exciting than those in Unleashed, and four types of vehicles that add variety to the simple, arcade-style driving.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault comes highly recommended because it’s a more complete, deeper sequel with plenty of new features. The developers didn’t just repeat what worked in the first game; instead, they understood where it could evolve and what elements they should keep. It’s true that a few extra elements are missing, but the final version is ideal for both fans of the original and new explorers.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a must-play because Capcom has managed to recapture its essence and adapt it to the modern era. The combat system is undoubtedly its greatest strength, delivering some spectacular moments. Add to that a fantastic setting, memorable boss battles, and top-notch audiovisuals. Not everything is on the same level, but it proves that the franchise has an excellent foundation for the series’ future.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam comes highly recommended because it does a pretty good job of capturing the tension of the Vietnam War in its large-scale multiplayer battles. The setting, the combat, and the new tactical possibilities all work well, but optimization issues and some technical glitches prevent the experience from reaching its full potential. It’s undoubtedly a perfect game for fans of war shooters.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls comes highly recommended because it successfully combines spectacle, accessibility, and depth, offering one of the most engaging fighting game experiences available today. Its combat system has a lot of potential, the roster is put to great use, and both the single-player content and online options provide plenty of reasons to keep playing. However, it’s true that some of its mechanics can feel overwhelming during the first few hours. All in all, I’m confident that this is the next fighting game that will define an era in competitive gaming.

Halo Campaign Evolved comes highly recommended because the studio has managed to update one of the most important games in history without compromising its essence. It achieves this through a series of improvements that make the experience more enjoyable and varied, thanks to a completely revamped audiovisual presentation and subtle tweaks. It’s true that some decisions, such as the absence of competitive multiplayer, may seem strange. But for both veterans and new players discovering the series for the first time, this is undoubtedly the best way to experience the beginning of the legend.

Splatoon Raiders comes highly recommended because it clearly demonstrates that the franchise has much more potential beyond its competitive side. Nintendo has successfully adapted familiar gameplay mechanics into an exploration title that can be enjoyed both solo and in co-op. Although there are some areas for improvement, the result is a spin-off that keeps Splatoon’s identity intact while still feeling distinct enough.

007 First Light comes highly recommended because it successfully brings the essence of James Bond back to the world of video games with a game that perfectly captures the character. It’s not a perfect title that seeks to reinvent the genre, but it does offer a very solid, well-designed adventure with plenty of personality. I can assure you that we are witnessing the return of the legendary MI6 agent.

LEGO Batman: The Dark Knight's Legacy is highly recommended because it's the most ambitious project TT Games has ever undertaken within the LEGO franchise. Their reinterpretation of the Batman universe is admirable; it's a true love letter to the Dark Knight. All of this comes together to make for a fun game to play, always with the studio's signature sense of humor. If you’re a Batman fan, this game is made by and for you.

Forza Horizon 6 is a essential title for any car enthusiast, because Playground Games has not only made our dream of holding the festival in Japan a reality, but has also created the most ambitious, diverse, and passionate installment in the entire series. It’s a massive tribute to Japanese car culture that makes every drive truly special.

SAROS is recommended because it’s a step up from Housemarque’s previous title. The experience is much more polished, especially in terms of its progression system and accessibility, yet it doesn’t lose any of its intensity. It’s not a perfect game, but it knows exactly what it wants to offer and how to keep you hooked for hours.

Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes captivates with its oppressive atmosphere, a profound sense of helplessness, and a fear that stems from feeling small in the face of a gigantic, hostile world. Virtual reality greatly amplifies these sensations and creates some truly harrowing moments, though the game falls a bit short when it comes to VR-specific interactions.

Kiln is recommended because it’s one of those games that impresses more with its concept than with the scope of its content. Double Fine Productions has really nailed the creativity and how customization is integrated into the gameplay, but this is overshadowed by a lack of content and variety. It’s a game that works very well for short sessions and group play, though it still has room to grow.
