Cairn is recommended because it is a unique climbing experience that challenges and rewards you in equal measure. Each ascent feels insurmountable, and the combination of climbing, survival, and storytelling makes it a must-play for those seeking a deep and immersive adventure.

Escape from Ever After is one of those indie games that takes you by surprise and stays with you. It's very original and full of humor, the combat system is challenging but fair, and the design makes the most of each setting. If you're in the mood for a turn-based RPG with personality, go for it.

The Drifter is an outstanding graphic adventure that is finally available in Spanish. Death as a narrative mechanic works well, the puzzles are logical and accessible, and the science fiction story with hints of thriller and drama is captivating from start to finish. Highly recommended for any lover of point-and-click games and good stories.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is recommended because it offers something different within the zombie genre, focusing on observation, management, and decision-making rather than constant action. Its greatest strength lies in the recognition loop and how it manages to convey the responsibility of deciding the fate of each survivor, although it can become repetitive over time. Overall, it is a game with a lot of personality and good ideas.

MIO: Memories in Orbit is an outstanding Metroidvania that perfectly understands the genre. It may not be overly innovative, but it does everything brilliantly, especially its world design, progression, and balance between exploration, platforming, and combat. Its interconnected setting is a real delight, and its art and sound constantly elevate the experience. Play it.

DuneCrawl is a cooperative game with an appealing concept and genuinely entertaining moments, especially when chaos ensues alongside another player, but it suffers from limited execution and several clear imbalances. The gameplay is basic, and playing solo is nearly impossible due to the difficulty of the enemies. It won't change your life, but it offers enough to enjoy with friends, and I had a good time.

Death Howl is a demanding and uncompromising indie video game that stands out for its oppressive atmosphere and strong artistic identity. Its mix of deck building, turn-based strategy, and high difficulty fits well with the tone of the story, but it also results in a slow pace, a lot of repetition, and a steep learning curve. If you accept its rules, it's a great game.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond shines in terms of controls, setting, puzzles, and audiovisual presentation, but it is weighed down by strange design decisions. Retro Studios gets it right by paying attention to every room and every battle, but excessive linearity, a lack of intricate settings, and a desert that impoverishes the cohesion of the map prevent it from achieving the greatness of the classic Prime games.

Kirby Air Riders is a very personal work by Masahiro Sakurai: polished, varied, and with surprising gameplay that turns two simple inputs into races full of precision and technique. It's unique, a lot of fun, and full of brilliant ideas, but it's also a heterogeneous game whose content may not appeal to everyone equally. It's a very special video game in the Switch 2 catalog.

News Tower is a very solid Tycoon game that perfectly understands what makes the genre appealing: balance, constant progression, and decisions with impact. Its setting works wonderfully and manages to transport you to the real pressure of putting out a weekly newspaper while managing workers, egos, interests, and external pressures. If you are attracted to the world of journalism or this genre, I recommend it.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is recommended because it's a solid game that focuses on what it does best: fast-paced action, precise gunplay, and modes that work. The multiplayer and Zombies modes hold up the experience strongly, but the campaign mode falls far behind due to some nonsensical decisions. Still, if shooting, upgrading weapons, and playing with friends is your thing, it offers hours and hours of uncomplicated gameplay.

NASCAR 25 is a competent simcade that delivers as an official game, with surprisingly good AI and a Career mode with interesting ideas, but it falls short of the realism of iRacing. Its handling is accessible and enjoyable, although uneven on Road. Performance issues on PC, some missing content, a very poor setting, and disappointing online play prevent it from standing out more.

Possessor(s) is a Metroidvania with a powerful setting, but its ideas never quite come together. Its post-apocalyptic world and the relationship between Luca and Rehm are interesting, but the game is weighed down by a map design that lacks variety, imprecise controls, unfulfilling exploration, and combat that falls short. It's a title for those who never miss a Metroidvania.

Constance is a classic Metroidvania in structure, but with a sensibility that is unusual in the genre: it turns burnout and work pressure into the emotional core of an adventure that combines a harsh and realistic narrative, beautiful artistic design, and painting-based mechanics that, while not revolutionary, are very well executed. It feels humble, but it's very well done. Recommended.

Anno 117: Pax Romana is recommended because it is a new installment in the series that veterans will feel comfortable playing and is very accessible to new players. It has enough content to keep you busy for weeks. It's not the giant leap forward that some might expect, but it is a remarkably strong, well-crafted installment with a very promising future.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a remarkable musou game that leverages the power of Nintendo Switch 2 to deliver a much smoother and more spectacular experience than its predecessor. It expands on mechanics, delves deeper into strategy, and reinforces the narrative to connect more coherently with the events of Tears of the Kingdom, although it requires a deep understanding of the lore to fully enjoy it.

ARC Raiders is recommended because it is an innovation within the extraction shooter genre, with an overwhelming identity. A title that stands out for its setting, its audiovisual design, and the way it makes each player feel every step, every shot, and every decision. It is demanding, yes, but also fair. It remains to be seen how it will evolve in the long term, but what it offers at launch is already more than enough to place it among the most outstanding multiplayer games of the year.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 is recommended because it is the step forward that the series needed. The studio has managed to transform a theme park simulator into a living, coherent ecosystem. The new breeding system, generations, social interaction, and emphasis on sustainability have completely changed the dynamics of the game. It is undoubtedly the best installment in the series: a tribute to the film saga and the perfect game for all lovers of dinosaurs or the simulation genre.

The Outer Worlds 2 is a magnificent science fiction RPG and a sequel that improves on the original in every way. Obsidian is back in top form with a game that offers real freedom, brilliant dialogue, and decisions that matter. Its retro-futuristic universe is lovingly crafted and brimming with personality, and although some narrative twists feel forced, it's an absorbing, deep, and hilarious adventure.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is recommended for being a very entertaining title with its own unique essence. Its reinterpretation of what it means to be a trainer makes it one of the freshest, most human, and most coherent installments in the entire series. It is a game that combines innovation and nostalgia and, despite its technical issues, gives the impression of being a new starting point for Pokémon.
