To the large size of the campaign and an exploration based on three layers or dimensions of Hyrule, there is an immense creative power, capable of modifying the experience, always with the puzzles in sight, the mental gymnastics supported by beautiful melodies, a refined language and a remarkable artistic dimension. Again called upon to return peace to Hyrule, Link comes close to the gods.

But at the same time it introduces with the Drive system a series of nuances and mechanics that enhance the strategy within the classic system, which will tell so much to veterans. Reinforced in the online component and more formative, it is the most friendly and simultaneously challenging Street Fighter. It injects new blood into an innovative, refreshing combat system that is at the same time endowed with the subtleties that make mastering a fighting game demanding.

The pace of the game is high and steady in challenges, with few dead moments, no intrusive or drying dialogue. It is a direct and intense game in the missions, able to remember the catadupa of events and challenges of a Mario Galaxy, for example. And at the same time it is delightful in art, in a very planetary sphere and at the same time human and realistic, and also possessing an appreciable physics, although here and there with some frame rate breaks, which fortunately little or nothing affect the gameplay. There is almost a commotion when we leave behind these creatures, so essential in the multiple rescue missions, but it is possible to return to the PNF-404, with the salvation Otchin, for another dandori missions, in which organization and efficiency are essential for success. It's nice when a game exudes a message as well.

Mortal Kombat 1 is one of the most fun and spectacular 3D fighting games of the last 10 or 15 years. The gameplay is extremely accessible for anyone to enjoy, but there is enough depth to be discovered to reward the most dedicated, even more so now with the Kameo. Combining this with its superb graphics and sound quality makes Mortal Kombat 1 a game of strong appeal to fans of the genre. Modes like Story, Invasion, and Towers mean strong single-player content and long hours of gameplay for lots of fun built with strong jig. If you want to embrace online, get ready for a lot of time in Practice mode and hundreds of hours of playing.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a hymn to fun and technology, above all, it's a hymn to the PlayStation Studios method. Insomniac Games deserves kudos for the way it has gone beyond the original in fixing its problems and more effectively marrying the open-world design into a balance to enhance the focus on storytelling and strong graphical ambitions. It's a treat to the eye, the gameplay is accessible but super fun and the way easter eggs and fan-service are used to make even optional content practically mandatory is a lesson for the rest of PlayStation Studios.

Much could be written about the particularities of this badge or any idea affects on a level, but nothing like experimenting and discovering how Super Mario Bros. Wonder, starting from the oldest model in the series, is at the same time a wellspring of ideas, mechanics and challenges in constant rotation. It's simple and accessible but at the same time challenging and packed with secret areas, hard-to-get collectibles and arduous challenges that even the most well-versed in the series can feel like the game bites. And in all of this there is fun and the somewhat hallucinated feeling of yet another ingenious level. It's a game that flourishes above all in ideas and mechanics, proving that the 2D segment of the Super Mario series is capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the 3D references of the series.

By combining metroidvania design with the essence of Prince of Persia, The Lost Crown becomes a majestic game, inserted in an already well-known genre, but with its own ideas and electrifying. At some point, the gameplay became so much fun that I found myself thinking that the game just got everything it did right. Ubisoft is to be congratulated because it has achieved a game of great caliber and capable of grabbing you to the point of making you forget the passage of time.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has done a lot to reinforce the phenomenal feeling we're experiencing through some of the most exciting weeks in video game history, outside of the electric holiday months. Between Persona 3 Reload and now this majestic effort from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, Japanese productions show a brilliant ingenuity in balancing their essence, expanding their scales and refining them to attract more audiences. It's one of the best Japanese games I've ever played and arguably the best effort from this studio.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is pure magic in the form of interactive art. I found myself thinking about how majestic the original on which it is based is and how ambitious it was for the time. We can only describe as phenomenal what Squaresoft has managed to do with the limitations of height. Playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth makes you feel like you're playing a game from that era, with an emotional campaign full of impactful moments, supported by a huge world to explore. It's easy to lose track of the hours exploring these various places for secrets, always looking for easter eggs and curiosities that greatly reinforce the sense of discovery and wonder. The original is my favorite game of all time and Rebirth deserves to be featured alongside it.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection just doesn't suppress the open spot for the next chapter of the series. The collection is however a done, a work produced with care and care that fans of the series have become accustomed to with the bungie quality seal.

Forza Horizon 2 is one of those games of immediate attraction and full traction, which leads us to feel the minimum forces of movement, but allowing an amazing control of trajectory.

Diablo 4 is a game that reveals enormous competence in all quarters on the part of Blizzard, and a strong understanding of what a loot-focused dungeon crawler should be. The campaign is a footnote in the overall picture of Diablo 4, but get ready for the core mechanics and the endgame, where you'll easily find yourself surrendering to the gameplay cycle to progress through difficulties and constantly manage the highest risk vs. the greatest reward. The depth and robustness of class management and customization, the activities and the fun of the gameplay make Diablo 4 a very special game.

F1 23 is a good effort on Codemasters' part, in a franchise that is released year after year. It is a complicated task to implement major novelties in just 12 months, but this time it was noticed that they struggled. We have a more desirable Braking Point 2, an F1 World full of competitions and challenges, and the implementation of the Super License and Tech Level that give the depth that was missing. Those who feared the possibility of this being just a year dedicated to updating the drivers and cars, can rest assured. This season is one of the best of recent times in the universe of virtual Formula 1 racing.

Final Fantasy 16 has become one of my favorite games in the series and despite the problems of inconsistency in pace and quality (those fetch quests are really banal), the good is really good and that's what prevails. I confess that the linear design with larger areas is a breath of fresh air in the middle of the huge open worlds and I loved the action combat that pulls for your talent. The Game of Thrones-style storytelling and the use of Final Fantasy lore in such a bold way are worthy of applause.

In an obvious perception of evolution, M2, Taito and Inin Games offer both for PS4 and Switch (the analyzed version) a compilation of proven quality, with minimal latency times, impeccable sounds and a section of options and progression parameters that make visible the segments where the gains and failures happened, in the always essential repetitions. Infinite credits are almost essential to start playing, but the time invested here is regained in this realm of art between continuous firing and "lock on" attacks. Some more content would give other reasons to play or replay, still an edition enhanced with three good games, which is not only for Japan.

Blasphemous 2 is the perfect example of a game made in the image of the classics of yore, but fully aware of the current contexts. As metroidvania, it is a game that is differentiated by its images and themes, but the difficulty of the gameplay and the demand it places on you are within what you are already used to. In an era where FromSoftware inspires more and more talent, Blasphemous 2 is yet another fine example of indie studios following the masters.

There are several epic, stunning-scale moments in which FromSoftware's artistic ingenuity prevails over the texture quality of an often austere and empty industrial world. It's a tough game, but the strong performance allows this strategic gameplay to put in your hands the customization of the path to victory. The upshot of this is that I would never have imagined putting Armored Core 6 among my favorites of the year.

Lies of P is a game capable of winning over the biggest fans of masochistic action games, but it will require some patience. Its linear design combined with the relative lack of difficulty, only existing in a few boss fights, highlights the lack of pedigree of this Korean team, but it is a first effort with interesting points. In the second half, Lies of P gives a better air of gracefulness and ingenuity, which makes us excited about the future of this team.
