Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a game that has surprised us immensely. It manages to adapt the franchise to modern standards without losing its identity or its dark fantasy atmosphere. The depth of its combat system, the spectacular nature of its boss fights, and the meticulous work on the animation and Japanese folklore more than compensate for minor aspects such as the repetitiveness of some side quests. Despite this, Onimusha: Way of the Sword—unexpectedly—is easily one of the best games we've played in 2026.

Star Wars Zero Company successfully brings turn-based combat to the Star Wars universe, and this time it shines thanks to the depth of squad management, the variety of combat abilities, and the integration of exploration moments. These are enriched by the development of relationships between crew members, and the demanding nature of its combat systems provides an entertaining and challenging experience; something fundamental in a game of this genre.

Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters is a clear evolution of what we saw in RoNC. The game's pace, the replacement of the rock-paper-scissors system with reaction-time-based gameplay, the inclusion of mechanics like the Chain System, and the ability to directly control goalkeepers in shooting duels address many of the previous installment's shortcomings. Similarly, the faithful adaptation of the World Youth arc and the quality and direction of its cinematic cutscenes brilliantly capture the essence of Yōichi Takahashi's work. However, despite all its strengths, the game still suffers from some of the same flaws as the previous title. In terms of gameplay, the imbalance of certain defensive slides is frustrating, and we were unable to test the online multiplayer mode. Despite this, Tamsoft has solidified its position as the developer that has best adapted Captain Tsubasa to a video game in over 20 years.

While short on additional content, flawlessly adapts MGS4 and brings back another game from the franchise that had been lost in time (Ghost Babel). Added to this is the inclusion of Peace Walker and other content such as guides and scripts, giving it added value for both new players. However, it's important to note that—with the exception of the Game Boy game—prior knowledge of the franchise is required to fully enjoy the two canonical games included in this collection.

EA Sports Madden NFL 27 isn't a bad game and stands out for the new features in Franchise Mode, the players' personalities, and its great visuals. However, this is undermined by constant animation errors, flaws in defensive logic, and mechanical and collision inconsistencies on the field. While this could be improved in the future, it doesn't detract from the fact that it's better to stick with the previous version, which is more stable.

Endless Ragnarok is a substantial expansion that significantly expands upon the combat systems, character build options, and advanced quest offerings of the 2014 game. However, the narrative weight of this DLC is not comparable to the number of quality-of-life improvements and new advanced quests. Thanks to this, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is more appealing than ever to new players, and its DLC provides a new reason for those who have already completed the game to return—once again—to Cygames' universe.

Echoes of Aincrad faithfully recreates the visual universe of Sword Art Online and offers a functional combat system with extensive equipment optimization possibilities. Its smooth performance—using Unreal Engine 5—and the polished aesthetic of its main environments demonstrate a significant improvement in production compared to previous installments in the franchise. However, this new SAO is limited by a monotonous mission design, an exploration system restricted by invisible barriers, and a marked reuse of enemies and bosses. So, unless you're a die-hard fan of Reki Kawahara's work, it's difficult to overlook some of its shortcomings.

R-Type Dimensions III is a faithful restoration of a classic shoot 'em up, featuring local co-op, alternative soundtracks, and real-time graphical overlays. This undoubtedly demonstrates the effort put in by its development team. However, the game retains design philosophies that clash with the new additions. Furthermore, the price feels high considering the volume of improvements and the limited, if not nonexistent, additional content. Thus, the title functions adequately as a game for shoot 'em up enthusiasts who aren't put off by the punishing nature and difficulty levels, which reduce its appeal for players seeking a balanced and less unfair experience.

Ninja Master's stands out for its serious atmosphere and the combination of combat mechanics for fighting with or without weapons. Its gameplay rewards attacking—due to the high damage inflicted—although the combos are simple and can become repetitive, or even a real headache when facing the GPU. This version, which joins the list of "hidden gems" in the NEO GEO Premium Selection, features online and training modes. It's not as polished as the greats of its era, but its classic art style, musical atmosphere, and dark tone are undoubtedly points to consider for trying one of the niche fighting games of the 90s in 2026.

It falls short of excellence due to inconsistencies in its mechanics and the lack of an antagonist worthy of Bond. We hope Patrick Gibson's Bond gets another chance so he can officially debut his "00" title.

Forza Horizon 6 is the quintessential arcade racing game. This is thanks to its accessibility, extensive customization options, and above all, its sheer fun. The recreation of Japan stands out for its visual fidelity in some of the environments and the variety of surfaces it offers for different driving disciplines. The inclusion of community creation tools and the integration of online modes—in addition to all the single-player content—extend the game's lifespan, not to mention all the time that can be spent creating tracks and customizing cars.

The 2026 version of World Heroes Perfect, developed by Code Mystics, rescues this title from oblivion, solidifying it as a valuable piece of the legacy of the once-great Osaka-based developer. This re-release, like its predecessors, delivers a modern and functional package. The inclusion of rollback netcode, nine-player lobbies, and a training mode with quality-of-life improvements make this gem from the past shine in the current landscape. While it retains the brutality of an AI that punishes without mercy—even after discovering its patterns—and all the clichés of 1995, these rough edges are part of its charm. Now we can only imagine which game SNK and Code Mystics will bring back next in the NEO GEO Premium Selection.

Replaced stands out for its immersive pixel art visuals and a story with profound social commentary on capitalism and technological ethics. While Sad Cat Studios' debut game offers fluid combat and a memorable cinematic atmosphere that emotionally connects with the player, the experience is marred by imprecise platforming controls, balance issues in encounters, and an uneven distribution of checkpoints. Nevertheless, its solid artistic and sound design compensates for these minor mechanical flaws, delivering an artistic and thematic proposition that distinguishes itself within the 2.5D action genre.

Mouse: P.I. For Hire undoubtedly succeeds in accurately capturing the visual essence of Depression-era cartoons. The game's combat system is functional and agile, offering a fair variety of weapons and tools. However, Fumi Games' title is limited by design choices that restrict level replayability, the fluidity of exploration, and a difficulty level that can become tedious for some players.

Unlike other recently released live-service games, Marathon is a title with a solid foundation, built on a satisfying combat system and a distinctive and striking audiovisual presentation. This creates an immersive atmosphere and a tense gameplay loop that can be addictive for those who overcome its initial hurdles. However, its niche appeal is marred by design choices that hinder the user experience. The excessively steep learning curve, coupled with a confusing user interface that makes inventory management difficult, creates an unnecessary obstacle for players who aren't extremely dedicated or who are new to this type of FPS. The game fulfills its vision of being a high-level challenge, but its lack of accessibility and certain archaic monetization and interface design choices limit its appeal. Fortunately, these issues can be addressed with one or more updates.

Capcom continues to show deep respect for the Blue Bomber's legacy, giving fans the chance to play all seven titles in this trilogy with all the exclusive extras from the Japanese versions, including online play and quality-of-life improvements at a very attractive price compared to the current value of DS cartridges as collector's items. While these games reflect the fatigue the series experienced in the early 2000s, they are also remembered for their story and Geo's evolution as a character. So, if you're a Mega Man fan and never got the chance to play the Star Force saga, now's the perfect time to experience the story of Geo and Omega-Xis.

Every aspect they've showcased throughout the previous four chapters is present in the fifth, with quality-of-life improvements that address some of the shortcomings of earlier installments. However, despite the excellent execution, Broken Things demonstrates that Poppy Playtime needs to step outside its comfort zone and take risks to innovate in order to adapt to an audience that is growing in both size and age.

This is a solid ARPG with a simple yet engaging story. Thanks to the chemistry between its protagonists, its revamped combat system, an outstanding soundtrack, new quests, and quality-of-life improvements, this is the definitive version of Ys X. All of this compensates for the shortcomings in environment design and the simplicity of sea navigation. This is a title that prioritizes fluid gameplay and character development over a complex story or visual innovation. Fortunately, it doesn't lose the essence and DNA that sets Falcom games apart from more traditional franchises on the market.

After a five-year wait, you can rest easy, because Resident Evil Requiem—especially in terms of gameplay—is everything a fan of the Capcom saga could hope for. It offers equal parts action and horror, cinematic cutscenes with outstanding direction, and—despite a few minor flaws—plenty of surprises. Furthermore, the franchise's DNA remains intact in every corner of the game, and those who enjoy exploring every last file will find a highly polished story in this installment, brimming with clues about what lies ahead. But for now, we can only say that Resident Evil Requiem is undoubtedly one of the must-have games of 2026.

Nioh 3 is undoubtedly an evolution of Koei Tecmo's Soulslike-tinged action RPG formula. This is thanks to the introduction of the Ninja style and the openness of its maps. All of this is achieved while maintaining the technical depth in combat that characterizes Team Ninja. However, the game has its flaws, such as: repetitive content, overuse of recurring enemies, a somewhat uninhabited open world that sometimes feels deserted after clearing out enemies, and inconsistent difficulty spikes. Fortunately, if you enjoy its combat, you'll find the deepest and most fun title in the entire trilogy.
