Perhaps it couldn't have been any other way: Retro Studios' game opts for a classic design, demonstrating that the franchise isn't one that has to answer to anyone. It's not always necessary to change, and stepping outside your comfort zone can, ironically, mean staying within it. Retro Studios knows exactly what it's doing. I don't think anyone would dare question something so obvious.

Dispatch is one of the games of the year, sorry, there's no discussion here. I can't say more without spoiling, and this is a game where spoilers ruin the experience.

Kirby Air Riders is a surprisingly deep and uniquely structured game, born from the obsessions of Masahiro Sakurai already seen in his previous works. Almost as if it were an auteur game, this new entry in the saga is clear proof of the finesse with which the Japanese creator operates, resulting in a remarkable title that blends the boundaries of several genres at once.

Within the shooter genre, it's an absolute gem and one of the best among extraction shooters. I could easily describe it as the Helldivers 2 of 2025. It's not extremely innovative, but everything it does, it does brilliantly. It can feel a bit slow, especially at first , but it's highly addictive to keep looting, progressing with your character, trying new things, and above all, interacting with other players since its social aspect is amazing.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment delivers what fans have been waiting for - a musou that actually matters to the Zelda timeline. Despite the repetitive secondary missions and occasional performance hiccups, the canon story, polished combat, and massive content make it essential for any Zelda enthusiast. It's not perfect, but it successfully blends frantic action with meaningful lore in a way no previous Warriors game has achieved. If you can tolerate the genre's inherent repetition and play it in spaced sessions, you're in for an epic journey through Hyrule's ancient past. This is the definitive Zelda musou experience.

Tormented Souls II is the sequel the first game deserved. Dual Effect listened to criticism, polished what was lacking, and amplified what worked. The result is a survival horror game that respects the classic 90s style without feeling anachronistic, offers a real challenge without becoming constantly frustrating (well, almost), and looks spectacular on PC.

The restoration work on Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake stands as one of the finest seen in recent years. It serves as a homage to the original games and an enhancement and expansion of their worlds. These classics are deeply nostalgic, very much products of their time, with all the charm—and limitations—that entails.

The Outer Worlds 2 is another proof that raises Obsidian as one of the strongest studios in modern RPGs. Despite carrying over some issues from the past, it’s a more ambitious and fun sequel, filled with compelling characters and a narrative that truly makes you feel part of the conflict in the Arcadia colony.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a very good entry in the saga. It doesn't invent anything revolutionary, but it improves practically everything the previous entries did well and fixes many of the things they did wrong. The camera works, the combat is fluid and brutal, Yakumo is a competent protagonist who doesn't pale in comparison to Ryu, and the technical aspects are up to par. It has some flaws, of course. The on-rails sections become repetitive, the difficulty can be frustrating instead of challenging at certain moments, and the amount of techniques is overwhelming at first. But these are minor complaints in the overall context.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is not the vampire adventure you were hoping for, but it also isn't the massive disappointment you might have expected given its troubled development process. Even though the game clearly needs more development time, especially since the ending feels particularly rushed, there is some charm to Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. The gameplay can be truly engaging, thanks to the vampiric powers and dynamic traversal... as long as you don't spend too much time in its melee combat.

I’m sure of it: beyond its imperfections and the unfinished business Game Freak has yet to resolve, Pokémon Legends: Z-A marks the first step in a smart direction—one that aligns with what many fans have been asking for over the years and shows particular respect for the legacy it inherits from the most successful franchise in history. I’m convinced we’re looking at one of those special games, one of those one-in-a-million experiments that end up working out. This time, Game Freak, you have my full attention.

For a good war shooter to be truly exceptional, it needs to be fun but also have a great setting and atmosphere to create that authentic war feeling. Battlefield 6 achieves both, making it possibly the best war FPS of the decade and promising endless fun for its players in the coming months — or perhaps even years.

Little Nightmares III will make you fall in love with its twisted world. Through nightmarish villains, Supermassive Games delivers another great entry for a franchise with a very distinct visual identity. While there is room for improvement in certain ally AI situations and environmental exploration, Little Nightmares III more than accomplishes its goal: to provide a nightmare you’ll want to dream about.

Bye Sweet Carole is a different, addictive, fresh story worthy of applause in a world where taking risks deserves to be applauded. A truly unforgettable experience that proves you can do different things without needing massive budgets. Chris Darril has created something unique that masterfully blends the nostalgia of classic animation with modern mechanics.

Glowmade has nailed the essentials: a fun, addictive co-op with a solid foundation to grow. The audiovisual presentation is superb, with animations that rival Adult Swim quality and outstanding voice acting work. Combat is accessible yet satisfying, and the dungeon creator has the potential to turn this into a phenomenon if the community responds. It's not perfect. Progression can get somewhat tedious at specific points, the base scenario variety might fall short in the long run, and the camera has its occasional issues. But these are minor gripes in an experience that, as a whole, works wonderfully.

Digimon Story Time Stranger is not a turning point for JRPGs by any means. However, as a Digimon game, it excels with its ambitious storytelling. That which truly shines though is its Digivolution system, which is deep, engaging, and will keep you hooked for dozens of hours. Whether you're a longtime fan of the franchise or looking to reconnect with it, Digimon Story Time Stranger won't disappoint.

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 stands as a bundle that brings back two unquestionable masterpieces. Two of the best games Nintendo has ever pulled out of its hat throughout its entire history, and they’re still just as relevant more than 15 years later. With a remaster that gets the job done—though it could be better—the Big N restores experiences that challenge any cynical belief one might have about remasters. Because, for a change, we’re talking about games that truly deserved a second life.

Ghost of Yotei checks all the boxes, particularly through a main storyline that hooks you from the very first moment and continues to build powerful emotions. Despite being a story of vengeance, its many familiar moments transform it into a deeply human tale, allowing you to connect with the characters on a profound emotional level. Additionally, there's a wealth of secondary content that genuinely adds depth to the world, rather than feeling like mere filler. While Ghost of Yotei has some minor flaws, it is undoubtedly one of the best releases of 2025 and a video game that deserves to be a strong candidate for Game of the Year.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles does an amazing job of bringing the original game back to life. It’s the perfect way to either revisit this classic or experience it for the first time, offering a modern and comfortable way to play while keeping the elements that let new fans appreciate its timeless charm. But the lack of a Spanish translation is a glaring oversight that can’t be ignored.

No, Silent Hill f is not the best game in the franchise, but it is an outstanding installment that looks back on older titles and lays the groundwork for Konami to continue the saga with quality standards it had forgotten since the PlayStation 2 generation.
