If it hasn’t been clear up until now, let’s state it plainly here: Saros is, to date, the best game of 2026. We’re talking about a game that’s much more accessible to newcomers to the genre. A storyline that’s more fleshed out than their previous work. We’re talking about new features that elevate the game to the highest strata. And finally, a playtime that adapts to each player’s pace (yet remains more than respectable for the most experienced players). Saros improves and even transforms the genre. Few can boast of such an achievement.

Replaced is a game like few others. The production quality is top-notch, which is truly impressive for such a small studio. Yes, the genre won’t be for everyone, but those who give it a try will be pleasantly surprised. A high-quality storyline, plenty of action, and a wonderful soundtrack make this game one of the best available in 2026. Is this the start of a golden age for Sad Cat Studios? We can only hope so and see how far they can go. For now, it’s time to fully enjoy Replaced.

Minos has that certain something that keeps you wanting to tackle one more maze. You’re either eager to learn more about Asterion and Daedalus, or to discover what new weapons might help you defeat the enemies. The depth isn’t limitless, but it’s up to you to find the best combinations to keep the fun going. It’s surprising to see how Devolver Digital always manages to unearth hidden gems among developers. Artificer and its game Minos are now part of the lineup.

It goes without saying that Resident Evil is back with a brand-new chapter that will stay with players for a long time. Not only have the developers managed to restore the series to its former glory, but they’ve also introduced enough new features to convince all fans to give it a try. Grace and Leon are a joy to play, and their duality adds plenty of variety throughout the 10 to 12 hours it takes to complete the game. Honestly, this bodes very well for what’s to come, whether it’s a remake or a new title. All that’s left is to be patient—which is far from easy!

Scott Pilgrim EX is a wonderful tribute to the beloved series. Without straying from its essence, it offers a completely different adventure from the one we know so well. As for whether it’s Tribute Games’ best fighting game, it’s hard to be disappointed. Yes, the game has a fairly short playtime—about five hours on average. And we would have liked to see more playable characters. But the price reflects all of that. And even once you’ve finished it, you’ll want to go back, whether to play with a new friend or take on the role of a new hero. Let’s not forget the return of the band Anamanaguchi, who make a sensational comeback with a soundtrack that perfectly complements our adventure. It’s great to know they’ve collaborated again for this Scott Pilgrim title.

Octopath Traveler 0 successfully builds on the series’ signature HD-2D presentation and classic turn-based combat, delivering another visually striking and musically rich RPG adventure. The new cast of characters and intertwined storylines maintain the franchise’s narrative charm, even if the structure remains familiar. While the game doesn’t radically reinvent the formula, its refined mechanics and strong atmosphere make exploration consistently rewarding. Overall, it’s a solid continuation of the series that will particularly appeal to fans of traditional JRPG storytelling.

It took no less than 13 years after Ninja Gaiden 3 for a sequel to arrive. Fortunately, this new chapter is well worth the wait. During the approximately 10 hours it will take you to complete the adventure for the first time, there will be absolutely no downtime. But there will be many deaths along the way. Thrilling and with enough variety to keep things from getting repetitive, Ninja Gaiden 4 is the kind of action game we love. Let's just hope we don't have to wait as long for the next installment. And putting Ryu front and center wouldn't be a bad thing either.

What kind of year are we having? After such incredible games as Clair Obscur, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Donkey Kong Bananza, and many others, a new contender for Game of the Year has emerged. Hades 2 represents everything a sequel should be: a story that's as solid as ever, masterful gameplay, enormous replay value, and lots of variety. Of course, the foundations for this masterpiece were already in place, but it could have been a double-edged sword. Instead, Supergiant Games surprises us with a roguelite that will leave a lasting impression. 2025, you're starting to hurt our wallets!

We've waited a long time, but patience is a virtue, and it has rewarded us with this gem from Team Cherry. To the famous question: is the sequel better than the original? In terms of form, it's a resounding yes. The game improves on absolutely every aspect of its predecessor. In terms of content, I would tend to say that the games are equivalent. The lore of the first game was more interesting, but that doesn't mean Silksong isn't good. We get attached to the characters and always want to find out more about them. What is certain is that Team Cherry has mastered this particular genre. While there have been precursors, they are the future. And we can only hope that they will continue for a long time to come.

Never had the chance to play this masterpiece? Jump right in without looking back. Are you a die-hard fan of the series? This is an excellent purchase. But if you fall outside of either of these categories, it might be best to wait before buying it. Yes, the game is beautiful and stays true to the original work from start to finish, which is perfect for purists. But the lack of additional content does not justify its high price tag. Despite this, we hope that sales will satisfy Konami and give us what we really want: a remake of the first Metal Gear Solid!

After the approximately 30 hours it will take you to complete Hell is Us (more if you want to solve everything), you will come to one conclusion: this game is extraordinary. The atmosphere will draw in more than a few players, thanks to the exceptional work of Rogue Factor. Rarely have I been immersed so quickly in such a fantastic universe. The studio has put its efforts in the right places to make their first release a high-quality game. In my humble opinion, Hell is Us will be part of the discussion about the best games of 2025. And it will have earned it!

If you're wondering whether 2025 is the year of the ninja, Ragebound leads us to say yes. The Game Kitchen has put its expertise into a series that was in dire need of renewal, at least in 2D. The new features add a little something extra without distorting what we already knew. The combat is wonderful, as is the soundtrack. And the price is more than reasonable for an approximate playtime of 8 hours. In short, we're more than satisfied and can't wait to see what Ninja Gaiden 4 has in store for us.

Being able to get your hands on a game that has left its mark on several generations and the industry is always a privilege. Despite not having had the chance to play it back in the day, getting to play an improved version is wonderful. However, the additional content is rather thin, and if you're a long-time fan, you're bound to be disappointed. Nostalgia is all well and good, but it still needs to be justified. Fortunately, the price is reasonable overall, and of course, there are hours of gameplay to be had. Suikoden and Konami aren't revolutionizing anything this time around. Some will find it worthwhile, others won't. But don't miss out on the chance to experience these incredible adventures!

Lies of P: Overture offers even more of what we initially liked. Without revolutionizing anything, it simply adds what made us love the game in the first place. Sublime settings in a magnificent universe, tough but memorable bosses and variety in the gameplay. We sincerely hope that the team of developers is already working on the sequel, because we can't wait to see what they can do!

The little story of Pinocchio offers a rich canvas for exploring far beyond the original tale. Round 8 Studio and NEOWIZ have succeeded brilliantly. Without revolutionizing the genre, they have made Lies of P a game of the highest quality. The combat is excellent, the world is varied and exciting to explore, and the story, though simple, is perfectly executed. In short, among all that's available in the genre, Lies of P is one of the best propositions. And for a Soulslike fan like me, that's excellent news!

The Alters is exactly what I needed to experience in a narrative sci-fi game. The idea of being able to have multiple versions of yourself (who remembers the movie Multiplicity with Michael Keaton?), having to manage them in an apocalyptic context while understanding the state of emergency is excellent. The sheer number of possible scenarios, when a normal game should take between 25 and 30 hours, adds a huge amount of replayability. We feel that the choices we make, whether at the very beginning of our adventure or not, have an impact on the story. And having the power to decide whether to sow chaos or not, with the results that follow, is brilliant.

Let's cut to the chase: Clair Obscur is, without question, the best game of the year so far. In fact, one could even argue that it's one of the best games of recent years. Of course, it all depends on individual tastes and sensibilities, but as far as I'm concerned, it's been a long time since I've been so captivated by a game. Even Metaphor: ReFantazio, though an exceptional title, failed to fascinate me in the same way.

Bionic Bay is a game like no other. A captivating game that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. You move forward, you think, you make more progress, and you have to dig deeper and deeper in the face of new obstacles. The game is brimming with excellent ideas that bring a nice diversity to the whole. Admittedly, we'd have gladly taken on more - but who knows, maybe additional content will enrich the experience in the future?

The First Berserker: Khazan is one of the great Soulslike games of recent years. While many titles in this genre are quickly forgotten, very few manage to rise to the level of truly solid games. Thanks to its generous lifespan (a good 40 hours), the precision of its controls, its diversity and its memorable boss battles, you'll come away clearly satisfied. Yes, there are a few drawbacks: the level design is decent, but lacklustre, and the story takes a back seat. But nothing really dramatic. Apart from anything else FromSoftware has come up with, Khazan is undoubtedly the best thing to come out of Lies of P. And that's a compliment we don't pay lightly.

Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't revolutionize the series. In fact, it takes what it does best and makes it more accessible. Battles are fun, and so are encounters. Getting support, whether from strangers, friends or NPCs, has never been easier. Despite all this, the game suffers from problems that don't place it among the best in the franchise. The game is much shorter than we're used to, and sound problems are recurrent. But that doesn't stop me from having a lot of fun with Monster Hunter Wilds. And so should you. It's hunting time!
