Six years after its initial release, New Super Lucky Tale remains a fun and dynamic 3D platformer. However, its current arrival on PS5 feels like a missed opportunity to smooth out its rough edges, failing to take advantage of the enhancement capabilities that would have justified this port. This version is certainly recommendable for those who have never played it, but for those who already own it on PS4, the paid upgrade offers no relevant novelty for a new foray into that world.

Tales of Berseria Remastered fulfills its role without grand ambitions. It's a more complete and accessible version of a game that was already solid in its concept, especially by including all previously released additional content, from updates to DLCs. Still, it's hard to ignore the feeling that this relationship could have gone further. The technical improvements are welcome, but subtle, and have little impact on those who have already experienced the original version, especially on PC and PlayStation 4. In this sense, the remaster seems more relevant as an entry point for new players or for those who had the opportunity to experience the title on new platforms.

Hidden Cats in Spooky Village is another great option for those who enjoy fun and colorful puzzles. The hilarious situations created by the confusion of elements also add a lot to the game, even if this re-release, coming after a new game, seems to be missing some features.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection reaches the pinnacle of the franchise with a mature narrative, stunning visuals, and innovative ecosystem mechanics that deepen the Rider's role. Turn-based combat is more challenging, although the experience suffers from the absence of online mode and a lack of a wider variety of weapons.

Despite its limitations, Dice of Kalma remains an interesting experience within its premise. Turning a dice game into a simple roguelike works well for short play sessions. It may not reinvent the genre or offer deep strategy, but it succeeds at delivering quick and accessible matches, making it a worthwhile option for players who enjoy luck-based mechanics and score multipliers.

iRacing Arcade is a great casual adaptation of realistic simulators, but it suffers from balancing issues, races that are too short, and a dispensable multiplayer mode.

Strangely inviting due to one of the most forgiving parry systems imaginable, Homura Hime is a really cute game, managing to offer fun through competent and fluid gameplay, although it would benefit from more challenge aimed at the more experienced players in the genre.

For those who appreciate dense narrative games and experiences that emphasize character role-playing, Esoteric Ebb offers one of the most interesting proposals in the genre in recent years.

We've reached a point where the franchise's excellence in terms of gameplay is unquestionable, and WWE 2K26 consolidates this once again flawlessly. The Showcase and MyGM offer very cool experiences to learn more about the history of the superstars and the structure of the shows. However, the insistence on microtransactions and the way the paid DLC was implemented in an in-game unlocking system is a step backward. This directly affects one of the series' main attractions, which is its extensive roster, alternating between current stars and legends from various decades.

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is a title that doesn't try to reinvent the genre, but rather delivers a fun, stylish cooperative experience with its own personality. For those who enjoy games focused on team action and appreciate a good dose of humor and chaos, this is a very solid option within the genre to try in 2026.

Now, if you're a beginner on two wheels, you'll certainly have a lot of fun and learn a lot, if you have patience and persistence.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer is ideal for those who miss a more objective game. The increasing challenge and hunting rivals through the cities of the Japanese capital is a satisfying mission, but it may disappoint those who wanted something deeper, mainly due to the initial grinding and the constant repetitiveness of entering and exiting the map all the time.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is a fairly efficient reconstruction of a classic. Playing it safe in its approach, it's a competent production that manages to be inviting for both newcomers and veteran players who will feel reassured to see that Minakami hasn't changed much since their last stint, although there are enough new elements to make them feel immersed as if it were an almost fresh experience.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered fulfills its role in rescuing one of the most important chapters of one of the most remarkable narratives in video games. Even more than two decades after its original release, the game still holds up mainly due to the strength of its story, the quality of its characters, and the way it concludes the complex saga of Kain and Raziel. But not everything has aged perfectly. Some limitations of the original version remain noticeable, especially in the camera system and certain aspects of gameplay. These elements reflect the era in which the game was created and may seem strange to players accustomed to more modern action titles.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is very easy to recommend, especially for those who haven’t experienced the PC version yet. Although all previously released additional content is included here, it is mostly cosmetic and does not, by itself, justify purchasing a second copy for players who have already played it. Overall, despite a few technical hiccups, the integration between combat, management systems, and relationship mechanics works remarkably well. This variety of gameplay elements creates an engaging and satisfying loop that constantly encourages players to progress, strengthen bonds, and discover what comes next. It’s a solid, charming experience that’s hard to put down after the first few hours, even if this is your first entry in the franchise.

2XKO arrives on the market with a clear proposition: to introduce a more accessible team-based fighting game without sacrificing competitive depth. By eliminating traditional motion inputs and adopting a simplified system as standard, in addition to being free-to-play, the title reduces barriers to entry and invites new players to experience the genre. At the same time, mechanics such as the different types of Fuse, the emphasis on the 2v2 format, and advanced training tools show that there is real room for technical evolution and a high level of competitiveness.

Despite its niche premise, Docked is a compelling simulator driven by excellent vehicle controls and technical fidelity. Mastering the heavy machinery transforms routine tasks into rewarding challenges, supported by a functional narrative. While menu performance issues and some management opacity create friction, the core experience remains solid and genuinely engaging.

Minimalist and faithful, the title adapts The Witcher’s moral choices to the Reigns system with addictive gameplay, a flawless soundtrack, and creative yet questionable combat.

For those who have already experienced the first game, the recommendation is immediate. Coordinating Lana and Mui has never felt so satisfying, the puzzles strike a well-balanced level of challenge, encouraging thoughtful problem-solving without becoming frustrating, and the narrative delivers powerful moments, especially in its most emotional twists. For newcomers, if you appreciate heartfelt adventures with a strong visual identity and a focus on atmosphere, it is well worth discovering Planet of Lana.

City Hunter returns to modern platforms through a respectful remaster of the 1990 PC Engine game based on Tsukasa Hojo’s manga. The release includes quality-of-life features such as save states, rewind, multiple screen options and full localization, making the game more accessible than ever. However, the core experience shows its age. The gameplay revolves around exploring maze-like buildings, fighting enemies with simple shooting mechanics and searching for the correct doors to progress. While controls are responsive and the historical value of the release is notable, the repetitive level design, confusing exploration and shallow combat prevent the game from being more than a curiosity for fans of retro titles or the original franchise.
