Phonopolis is another little gem from Amanita Design: a short, beautiful, and very special adventure that wins you over more with its personality, humor, and world than with the complexity of its puzzles. It’s unique and captivating, and above all, it knows how to genuinely entertain you throughout the entire journey.

LumenTale: Memories of Trey is one of the most pleasant surprises I’ve come across in the creature-collecting RPG genre. It has personality, a vast world that rewards exploration, challenging combat, and plenty of original ideas. It’s not perfect: the menus could be improved, some mechanics aren’t explained well, performance is inconsistent, and there are bugs. But even so, it’s a special game.

007 First Light comes highly recommended because it successfully brings the essence of James Bond back to the world of video games with a game that perfectly captures the character. It’s not a perfect title that seeks to reinvent the genre, but it does offer a very solid, well-designed adventure with plenty of personality. I can assure you that we are witnessing the return of the legendary MI6 agent.

Thick as Thieves is a video game that’s hard to recommend, but also hard to simply dismiss. It has few maps, inconsistent AI, fairly familiar mechanics, and a constant sense of being a cut-down or repurposed product. However, it also has something important: it can be fun. Once you accept its limitations, it offers tense and satisfying moments.

LEGO Batman: The Dark Knight's Legacy is highly recommended because it's the most ambitious project TT Games has ever undertaken within the LEGO franchise. Their reinterpretation of the Batman universe is admirable; it's a true love letter to the Dark Knight. All of this comes together to make for a fun game to play, always with the studio's signature sense of humor. If you’re a Batman fan, this game is made by and for you.

ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies is a dense, bizarre, and visceral espionage adventure featuring fantastic writing, memorable missions, and a slightly more manageable pace than Disco Elysium. It’s not all perfect: there are bugs, the start can feel chaotic, and the true impact of some decisions takes too long to become apparent. That said, it’s one of the most interesting narrative RPGs of the year.

Forza Horizon 6 is a essential title for any car enthusiast, because Playground Games has not only made our dream of holding the festival in Japan a reality, but has also created the most ambitious, diverse, and passionate installment in the entire series. It’s a massive tribute to Japanese car culture that makes every drive truly special.

Elementallis has a deep understanding of what made the classic 2D Zelda games so special: open-world exploration, dungeons, secrets, puzzles, skill-based progression, and a world that rewards curiosity. It doesn’t reinvent the formula, but it executes it masterfully and adds its own unique flair through the use of the elements. Its biggest drawback is an uninspired final stretch, but it’s still well worth playing.

SAROS is recommended because it’s a step up from Housemarque’s previous title. The experience is much more polished, especially in terms of its progression system and accessibility, yet it doesn’t lose any of its intensity. It’s not a perfect game, but it knows exactly what it wants to offer and how to keep you hooked for hours.

Demon Lord: Just a Block is a very pleasant surprise in the roguelite genre. It takes a gameplay concept and runs with it: enemies only move when you do. That makes every run an experience that can be fast-paced, chaotic, and straightforward, or more measured and strategic, depending on how you choose to play. It’s simple, straightforward, and perfect for a quick game.

Bus Bound isn't the ultimate bus simulator, but it is one of the most compelling ones I've played in recent years. It focuses almost entirely on driving, and it does that well, but it's true that it lacks more layers of management, more feedback, more real variety among the buses, and smoother performance. Still, it works, it's entertaining, and it can keep you hooked for hours.

Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes captivates with its oppressive atmosphere, a profound sense of helplessness, and a fear that stems from feeling small in the face of a gigantic, hostile world. Virtual reality greatly amplifies these sensations and creates some truly harrowing moments, though the game falls a bit short when it comes to VR-specific interactions.

Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth is a lovely, peaceful, and very well-crafted sequel that retains the charm of the original. Still, it dares to expand on its formula with more exploration, more interaction with the setting, and a slightly looser structure. If you liked the first Snufkin, you can’t miss this one.

Kiln is recommended because it’s one of those games that impresses more with its concept than with the scope of its content. Double Fine Productions has really nailed the creativity and how customization is integrated into the gameplay, but this is overshadowed by a lack of content and variety. It’s a game that works very well for short sessions and group play, though it still has room to grow.

Sol Cesto is an addictive, strategic, and highly original game where every decision matters, even though chance always has the final say. Its grotesque aesthetic gives it a ton of personality, and the progression between runs works really well, but it would be a good idea to add the ability to save midway through attempts.

Vampire Crawlers - The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors proves that Poncle has successfully adapted the addictive formula of Vampire Survivors into a deck-building dungeon crawler. It’s straightforward and a lot of fun, and it retains the original roguelike spirit and visual charm. A fantastic game that shines thanks to its simple yet brilliant execution.

Puzzling Places - 3D Jigsaw Sim is a simple, relaxing, and well-designed experience for those who enjoy putting together puzzles without any pressure. It works well on a flat screen, but it really shines in virtual reality. I would have liked to see more puzzles and a more polished Spanish translation, but it delivers on its promises.

Minos is a unique take on the tower defense genre, standing out for its creative approach, well-paced progression, and the satisfying experience of designing effective traps. It doesn't reinvent the genre, but it does breathe new life into it enough to keep you hooked for hours on end, and the roguelite elements are a great fit.

Pragmata stands out in today's gaming landscape. Its combat system gives it a unique identity, and the relationship between Hugh and Diana will keep you hooked throughout the adventure. It isn't a game that sets out to be the biggest or most ambitious, but it does offer a solid, entertaining experience with enough personality to carve out a niche for itself in the world of video games.

People of Note is one of those RPGs that stands out for its originality and freshness. It doesn't reach great depths, but it makes up for it with a dynamic combat system, outstanding dungeon design, and a musical score that fits perfectly. It might go unnoticed in a crowded month, but it's worth checking out if you're looking for something different within the genre.
