Persona 5 puts the JRPG to its rightful place again. Not only is the game a very great Persona, but a very great game in the genre which it belongs as well. Brilliant in every aspect, the game does not leave the player, and brings him across one surprise after another, both in its scenario and its structure. It joins the list of the excellent games in this first half of the year. With its unforgettable characters, its perfect narrative, its flawless combat system and its very lengthy lifespan, we can say it loud and clear, that game is here to steal our player's hearts for the next few months'!

NieR: Automata is the perfect mix between Action RPG and Beat'em all genres. With a solid gameplay at the service of a clever, well written and thought provoking story like rarely seen before, the title is a bliss to go through until a grand final that won't leave you indifferent. Masterful, sublime and moving, the work of Yoko Taro transcends its older sibling without difficulty thanks to a character design, and a visual and musical artistic direction that will take your breath away. However, it's not with its technical side that the title will remain in history, but rather because of something deeper and intimate, like not many games manage to do. Already cult, NieR:Automata deserves indisputably to chair proudly besides the greatests games published to this day.

We had to wait 5 years to get a new episode of the God of War franchise, but it was worth it. After getting lost with its previous episode, the serie returns to the top, which it has already known in the past. Managing the father-son relationship works great and Atreus is more than just an awkward NPC. All the elements of the puzzle fit perfectly and naturally to offer a memorable adventure that proves that risk taking can pay off. Even if he loses some of his excessiveness, Kratos has never been so indisputable in your library. It is impossible to miss this God of War if you own a PlayStation 4, the game takes a clear lead over the competition for the title of the GOTY 2018.

Dreams is a real nugget, but not necessarily for everyone.

How to improve a very large RPG of his generation, which already sublimated the Persona experience three years ago? Persona 5 Royal achieves this brilliantly: more balanced, adjusted, refined to the extreme, there are so many novelties that for a little, we feel like we are playing another game.

With Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Hideo Kojima did not just create a final masterpiece but he wanted to leave a much stronger mark by renewing the series and literally reinventing the genre of infiltration.

Once again Naughty Dog lives up to the event and the expectations of the players. The studio signed this episode as the most successful of the Uncharted series. The subtle mix of gameplay with that of The Last of Us is very effective and transcends mind-blowing direction and art direction.

Hades is a great vintage, we knew it since its release, we confirm it in these lines. Supergiant Games has given it its all and serves us one of the best games of recent years. Beautiful to die, artistically irreproachable, the app may not invent anything, but it absolutely transcends all the mechanics related to the genre it represents.

The game leaves no respite to the player who is constantly solicited, whether to contemplate a truly fantastic world, in every sense of the word, face a tough challenge, explore and think for himself. And it's this melting pot of exhilarating emotions that makes Elden Ring more than a great game, it's a true masterpiece.

God of War Ragnarök is a long-awaited masterpiece. Without revolutionizing everything, the game is bigger, more ambitious, more enjoyable in its fights.

Games that go so far as to making their mark on people's minds right from their first entry are pretty rare nowadays, but Horizon belongs to this closed circle without any doubt possible. Offering a unique story that keeps us on tenterhooks for a minimum of thirty hours, the game stands out with its principal protagonist that we won't forget any time soon, a universe cleverly mixing genres and a visual masterpiece never seen before. Sony keeps months old promises and missing out on such a game early this year seems almost impossible for any Playstation 4 owner. Horizon knocks out its competitors and puts itself in a great place for the GOTY 2017 title.

As you will understand, Ori and the Blind Forest is the title that every Xbox One owner must have to enjoy his console in 2015. Even though the title is far from the big productions or current standards that make recipe, it offers a gaming experience as too few games know how to do for many years. The game achieves perfection both aesthetically and sonically and plunges us into an intriguing universe from which we have no desire to emerge until we have rekindled the light and joie de vivre that accompanies it. If ori does not yet enchant your days, we impose its purchase without waiting a second more in order to enjoy a session of play from which it is impossible to emerge unscathed.

With Forza Horizon 3, the Xbox One holds this year's racing game 2016 and sends the competition back to the ropes. The flaws seen in the past have been erased over the years and it is impossible to say that you love cash registers without having this opus in your game library. The addition of off-road racing takes the title into a whole new dimension.
