I ended up falling in love with Raidou all over again. Its 1930s aesthetic is stylish, the characters are simple but charismatic and the adventure is well-focused. I 'm looking forward to revisiting the second game and would be very happy to see Raidou 3 in the future.

Dune: Awakening is a very unique game that is unyielding in its intention to deliver on a very specific vision. The world is opressive, the systems are obtuse and the universe is extremely interesting, all things that made my time in Arrakis an unforgettable, if brutal, experience.

The Gex series is a record of a very fertile period in the industry. That fertility resulted in all kinds of ideas, some very interesting and others not so much. Gex brought strong influences from pop culture, cinema and TV to video games, being a pioneering game series for the convergence of these entertainment media with video games.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a game I found myself quite engaged with and ended up excited to play more. It's very easy to see why some people dislike it. Despite being soulslike, it doesn't have the same pace and demands as FromSoftware games. All that said, it's still a very fun game with some great group moments.

Onimusha 2 is a very fun game with some very unique and interesting elements, standing out even within its own franchise. It's not for everyone due to its quirks, but if you go into the game with open arms, those quirks can become a charm.

Narrative slip-ups and gameplay additions that don't have much effect don't prevent Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 from bringing the trilogy to a satisfactory close. It's a universe I've enjoyed following since its debut in 2021 and I haven't regretted it one bit.

Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade managed to hold my attention and keep me entertained throughout the entire journey. With a strange start, it soon blossoms and shows its charm. The story, which offers three different storylines in a single game, also works, and it's fun to follow them all. Despite a few flaws, it's a solid roguelite that's fun to play.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reminded me why I love RPGs so much. It's brilliant in everything it sets out to do and, given the current circumstances, even if some disagree that the existence of video games is a miracle, this game is something very close to it at least.

despelote is more than just a simple game, it's a beautiful and interactive presentation of a people who have been incorporating football into their culture. With a great pace and extremely well done dialogues, the game keeps your attention and curiosity as it introduces the player to Ecuador. All this from the point of view of an 8-year-old kid with a passion for soccer.

With dreadful gameplay and extremely questionable artistic choices, All in Abyss: Judge the Fake failed to hold my interest. If the story weren’t so shallow and mediocre, and if the poker were as well-executed as it sounds in theory, we might have had a very compelling game on our hands – but the cards dealt here make me want to fold.

Kazutaka Kodaka goes beyond any of his past projects, delivering an extensive and intriguing narrative alongside a really enjoyable combat. The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- provides a satisfying experience that keeps me coming back for more.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is a cute, comfy game with fun mechanics that do a lot of unique things, which is almost paradoxical considering how much it's also in the mold of Nippon Ichi Software's style of games. It's a place of comfort where you go in knowing exactly what's in store for you, and that's both its strength and its flaw depending on how you look at it.

Playing Lunar for the first time was something very special, I'm glad I finally got to experience these adventures and get to know the world of one of the games most loved by JPRG fans.They'll be games I'll treasure and I'll keep humming some of their songs for a while.

The First Berserker: Khazan is a game that brought me many emotions. Sometimes, I was mesmerized by its agile and fluid gameplay, which evokes moments of true brutality. In others, I just wanted to throw the game out of the window due to the bosses causing too much damage and the tedious level design. In the end, what remains is the realization that this is an excellent game for a debut and I recommend it to fans of soulslikes more in the style of Nioh.

Blue Prince already stands out as one of the most interesting games of the year. Thought-provoking, challenging and why not even frustrating at times, but still very inventive and fun. But maybe frustration is also a valid experience, isn't it?

Bleach: Rebirth of Souls brought me an intense mix of emotions, making me hate and love the game at different times. But, in the end, an appreciation and attachment to the game remained, which is even difficult to explain. This game is a good way to consume Bleach in 2025, with a complete story mode and interesting gameplay.

The latest game in the franchise is what it is because it looks back and recognizes everything it has done in its history. It brings together the best of all those years and manages to be a brilliant piece of work in every way. Visually beautiful, engaging and extremely fun, combining so many systems. Assassin's Creed Shadows is the best Assassin's Creed ever made and the definitive Medieval Japan game.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land is a renovated take on the franchise, but without forgetting what makes Atelier so special. Even though it takes a while to pick up, the game has key moments that captivated me and taught me to love the game's cast. It's a game that resembles a conventional RPG in many ways, but with touches that only those who work extremely well with characters and value daily life know how to put in and get right. Some long-time fans may feel a little lost, especially at the beginning, but if you welcome this game with open arms, it will have a lot to offer you.

Monster Hunter Wilds is imperfect, but that's okay, because it still manages to shine and offer an outstanding game. With a combat that is even better than its predecessors, with bold and interesting proposals, a campaign that is fun to follow and with exuberant monsters on the screen, it is ideal for both diehard fans and newcomers alike. But, as said, it is imperfect, since it has considerable performance issues and there is still a lot of room for improvement and refinement of its systems.

Konami brings back two RPG classics, with one of them being one of the best in history. The complex world created by Yoshitaka Murayama continues to captivate even after so many decades. Just like the heroes he created, his work has had the power to gather thousands of dedicated fans and admirers who will once again experience the political plots of this fascinating world.
