Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a testament to how Team Ninja has complete mastery when it comes to making a quality action RPG. The agile and rewarding combat, hallmark of the studio's work, reached its best form in what can already be considered one of the best games of 2023.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak has content that transcends much of what we've heard about DLC in general. The feeling we have here is that we are playing something totally revitalized and renewed, which manages to hold our attention and create an engagement that only those who have experienced dozens of hours of hunting will know how to take advantage of it. Even so, I do not withdraw the statement that this is content for the few. Deserving to be part of this experience is the first of many rewards that await us in an expansion that uses and abuses the term “massive”. Sunbreak is big, and it's not just about the monsters, it's about the journey before, during, and what awaits us after. This is a must-have add-on package for veteran and experienced hunters alike, and an enticing invitation for novices.

Diablo IV delivers an experience that exceeds the expectations of fans of the franchise, with an exciting variety of classes for players to choose from, each with their own play style and approach. The game's narrative is engaging and captivating, making it accessible even to those with no prior knowledge of the series. The darker, bloodier visuals add to the atmosphere of Diablo and add depth to the experience. Overall, Diablo IV demonstrates a high level of quality and promises to provide a fun experience for both solo and group players.

F1 23 arrives as a great recommendation for fans of the most important category of motorsport with engaging game modes, a very high quality presentation and subtle improvements in the user's quality of life that make our experience with the game very pleasant. Even with an EA microtransaction system that is not justified, Codemasters shows that it is an expert on the subject with yet another very high quality product.

Lost in Play is an experience that embraces all players for an adventure that oozes charisma, creativity, fun and accessibility. The launch for mobile devices expands the offer of what is one of the most cozy and pleasant games I had the opportunity to experience in 2023. A great recommendation for all ages.

30XX stands out as a true spiritual successor to Mega Man X, illuminating the relevance of that Capcom title during an era when 2D action platformers reached their peak. Though the inspiration is clear, 30XX manages to forge its own identity through a polished and precise gameplay as well as compelling game modes that keep the player going for hours and hours. It's a blessing to be able to play this game in the current age.

Journey to the Savage Planet had a very timid announcement of a new studio, and left a good first impression of the work of the Typhoon Studios team. Speaking of the relaxed atmosphere of the game, I would make a joke that could start with "Borderlands and No Man’s Sky walk into a bar..." and that will give the idea of the atmosphere that the game goes through. It is a fun and well done title, I was very pleased with the experience I had while exploring the planet. And if they throw toy Pufferbirds, I want to collect them all.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 shows once again why it is one of the best game series of the Straw Hat Pirates. The action experience of the pirates in the musou genre is one of the best that presents what One Piece has to offer in quantity and quality. In this fourth entry we have more than a sequel, showing a more technically and graphically refined product, with easy and pleasant gameplay, fun but challenging for those who like to play with high difficulty.

Void Bastards has many merits, despite sinning in one way or another. It is an excellent title for those who enjoy a good roguelike. Anyone who is more adept at the action characteristic of other FPS’ may be a little disappointed as the focus here is greater on strategy and item management that guarantee the player's survival for longer with a single character.

Mafia: Definitive Edition is easily one of the best remakes ever released and remains the best in the trilogy. A great choice for those who prefer a well constructed and tied narrative, added to a gameplay that, although not perfect, does not take away the renewed shine of this classic.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales stands out for further highlighting one of the best PS4 games in an excellent expansion of the universe created by Insomniac in 2018. What was already good has been maintained and certain features have been improved. With impeccable presentation and an excellent adventure, its only problem is still being at the mercy of its predecessor when it comes to innovation.

Habroxia 2 does an excellent job of transporting us back to a time when shoot 'em ups were strong on arcades and consoles in the 1990s. The game features sounds, visuals and other details that bring us back to classics like Galaga, Gradius, R-Type and many others that have become symbols of an era. Whether casual or hardcore, here we have an excellent option for those who want the almost perfect balance of challenge, fun and quality. Embark fearlessly on this space adventure and have fun, Habroxia 2 is a delicacy.

Eagle Island Twist is a good example of the famous saying "don't judge a book by its cover". Despite appearing to be a cute and simple game at first glance, it is quite challenging and well done both technically and artistically. The pixel art direction demonstrates impressive details, such as the lighting effects on underground scenes and the reflection of some translucent platforms. The title is a treat for fans of platformers.

UnMetal is, by far, one of the best games I had the pleasure of trying out in 2021: it's plenty of fun, it offers just the right challenge, and it has the best script that will ever be shown in a movie or TV series. A medal of honor for this true war hero.

Having Mr. DRILLER DrillLand back and available to a wide range of players is something to behold as it is a cute, fun, colorful and upbeat game that is a treat for puzzle fans. Like every amusement park, our intention is always to come back to play a little more. Historically, it also rescues the legacy of Namco (now Bandai Namco), a company that has made industry history with titles that have always focused on delivering the core of an electronic game: challenge and fun.

Here we have another great product from the independent scene. Highlighting its simple gameplay, a very well-made retro aesthetic and a nice incentive for new runs, Infernax is a great choice for those looking for a balance between fun and challenge within the platform action genre. Recommended and favorited in my 2022 games list.

Trek to Yomi is a fitting tribute to a cinematic genre in video game form. Movie fans will be happy to see beautiful photography and stunning scenery. Action game fans, on the other hand, have solid gameplay at their disposal, despite minor flaws in the mechanics, with a fair degree of challenge and a seductive replay factor.

F1 22 remains a benchmark in the racing simulation genre with a true-to-life experience of the weather, driving and adrenaline of the motorsport elite. Despite bringing more updates than innovations, it is still a great recommendation for anyone who is a fan of car racing, especially Formula 1. The game does not disappoint in relation to previous years' editions, but it runs the risk of being outdated in 2023 if it doesn't bring something that makes the player more engaged.

The mixture of visual styles of Prodeus, combined with agile and responsive gameplay, results in something that we can call modern nostalgia. If you enjoy FPS games in general, but you want to take a walk in the past to kill the desire for a title with a retro feel without appealing to the obviousness of the classics, this is the game you are looking for.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is an excellent continuation of one of the most remarkable stories in gaming today. With exquisite direction, narrative and gameplay make a virtually perfect marriage of one of the best single player experiences of 2022.
