Starfield delivers a solid and immersive experience, giving wings to the fantasy of becoming a space explorer in an extremely dense universe rich with detail and unique stories to be lived. However, the game ultimately stumbles over its own ambition, containing a series of issues that may drive away players who aren’t captivated by Starfield’s sandbox aspect.

Pragmata is a pleasant surprise, and with a simple detail it managed to deliver a very satisfying gameplay loop with a high level of polish, not to mention the creative scenarios, the charisma of the protagonists, and the diversity of progression and secondary content.

Crimson Desert is a rough diamond of colossal ambition. Pearl Abyss stumbles in its delivery of a convoluted story, graphical optimization issues, and an excess of unexplained systems, but at the same time, the title makes up for its shortcomings by delivering one of the densest, most alive, and most rewarding open worlds of the current generation. For those with the patience to master its punishing learning curve, the reward is an absolutely unforgettable journey.

Marathon is an extraordinary game that stands out with an exotic aesthetic, visceral gunplay, an excellent Runner Shell system, and lore that is masterfully delivered through its matches. However, it falls short with a slow and unwelcoming start for new players, something that could easily be improved in future seasons.

World of Warcraft: Midnight centers its conflict on the Void's invasion of Quel'Thalas and introduces new features such as Housing, a Loot System, Story Mode in raids, and a new specialization for the Demon Hunter. Despite some narrative gaps and signs of repetition, Midnight is a solid expansion, satisfying veterans while holding great potential to welcome newcomers.

Although not a perfect sequel to the original Super Meat Boy, its 3D version is a good enough evolution, and even with some missteps, it delivers a fun, challenging, and quite stressful (in a positive way) game.

Posthumous Investigation doesn't just rely on paying homage to one of the great classics of Brazilian literature; beyond the retelling, it delivers a game that respects your freedom and intelligence as a player by presenting a game with little guidance and full of puzzles that only the best point-and-click games know how to do.

Life Is Strange: Reunion is a return that plays it safe, but clearly understands exactly what fans want to see. Even with some pacing issues and without major gameplay innovations, the game delivers an intriguing story, impactful choices, and a meaningful reunion between Max and Chloe. With more mature characters, strong narrative mechanics, and a memorable soundtrack, Reunion works less as a revolution and more as an emotional conclusion, offering a solid experience for those who have followed this story from the beginning.

Damon and Baby is a risky and interesting proposition for Arc System Works, but honestly, the game doesn't quite live up to the hype presented here. While the game is fun at the beginning, the systems and gameplay loops become tedious and waste all the potential they could have explored.

Rayman: 30th Anniversary is a solid revival of a classic game that, for better or worse, makes very few changes to the original material, keeping the experience of playing the first game in the series accessible for new players and old time fans alike.

A highly competent CRPG in its writing, freedom, and artistic style, delivering a relatively dense load of politically and socially relevant dialogue, but which, for better or worse, clings too much to its original inspirations.

Resident Evil Requiem is definitely one of my favorite games of the year, even though 2026 has only just begun. CAPCOM has finally managed to fulfill its vision of blending horror and action excellently in a single entry of the franchise, delivering extremely high-quality content.
