Saros is a visually stunning technical experience that puts you in the heart of an addictive, relentless combat chaos. The game excels in providing gameplay that is among the best in its class, making full use of the PS5's capabilities to give you a real feeling of every shot and every explosion. Despite the fun of combat, the game falls into the trap of repetition due to the limited enemy types and the weakness of the Roguelite systems, which do not offer strong incentives for replayability as in competing games. Additionally, the story—which began with an ambitious scope—falters at its end. In short, if you are looking for a game to showcase your console's power and enjoy a solid and fun gameplay experience for hours, Saros is an excellent choice. However, if you expect more from the story or variety in enemies and Roguelite elements, you may feel some disappointment halfway through.

With a simple gameplay style but deep in its choices, the game succeeded in presenting shocking and moving moments that make you interactive with every decision you take.

After the end of the game, you will feel that you need more, and this is what makes waiting for the next part an intense necessity.

After the experience, WWE 2K26 can be considered one of the best installments in the series, as 2K has finally succeeded in achieving a balance between fun and realism inside the ring, and presented smoother and more convincing matches that reflect the atmosphere of wrestling very closely to reality. This is alongside a massive and diverse amount of content from modes and characters that give you long hours of play without boredom and make each experience different from the other. Although the in-game purchase system may be annoying with the presence of some repetition in some modes and some technical errors, these defects do not diminish the strength of the core experience; the gameplay foundation itself is cohesive and fun, and this is what clearly highlights WWE 2K26 from the rest of the installments and makes it a big step forward in the series.

The ninth installment of the Resident Evil series was able to take us on a journey that might be one of the best in the history of the series—a journey that blends revealing the secrets of the past and paving the way for the future, amidst an atmosphere saturated with horror and excitement throughout the experience. Capcom succeeded in presenting a wonderful story and a distinctive gameplay style; it even provided an experience that satisfied two audiences at once: the horror audience with the tension, survival, and mystery it carried, and the excitement audience with the enthusiastic encounters and thrilling moments it included. Despite the presence of some padding here and there, and the discarding of an important element that was an authentic part of the series' identity, which is puzzles, the final result was very strong and distinctive.

Tales of Berseria remains one of the deepest and most beautiful JRPG experiences thanks to its epic revenge story and its heterogeneous, vibrant cast of characters. Its fast and varied combat system provided a refreshing experience for a game from a long series. The Remaster version succeeded in technically polishing this experience, but raised a question about the necessity of its existence for those who experienced the original version. It is worth experiencing, but it did not offer any major modifications to the game.

The game offers a horror experience that relies heavily on atmosphere and artistic design, and it truly succeeds in creating a constant sense of tension and mystery from the first moments until the end, where the visual and audio aspects work in clear harmony to enhance the feeling of dread and continuous anxiety. On the other hand, it suffers from weak level design and a lack of puzzles that could have added greater depth to the experience, in addition to the repetition of chases in a way that makes them lose their impact over time, as well as a superficial combat system that was not sufficiently utilized to be an effective and influential element in the gameplay. It is an enjoyable game in terms of atmosphere and artistic presentation, but it could have been much better if more focus had been placed on level design, diversifying the gameplay, and granting the player more varied tools and challenges that enhance the value of the experience as a whole.

The bottom line is that you either love it or hate it, but Cairn remains an excellent narrative and interactive climbing simulation experience. The slow gameplay rhythm keeps you tense the entire time you are on the walls, and between moments of challenge, the game grants you charming periods of relaxation, with eye-catching scenery and a powerful soundtrack that stirs emotions. Despite some technical problems, specifically the sharp drop in frames, this did not diminish much of the enjoyment of the climbing experience. The final hours were extremely harsh, leaving a real sense of exhaustion and excitement at the same time, but the reward, combined with the feeling of achievement upon overcoming the mountain, makes every minute of it worth the effort. The game offers a difficult and unique challenge compared to other games, with a wonderful artistic level, becoming a great masterpiece and one of the most prominent surprises of this year.

As someone who has lived through the details of this series since its beginning, I can say that Nioh 3 is the pinnacle of its own combat style. The genius addition of the 'Samurai and Ninja' modes was not just a numerical increase; rather, it redefined the game and provided massive content that makes you sink into its details for hours. The transition to 'Open Arenas' was a successful decision that maintained the design identity while giving us greater freedom of movement without the constraints of tedious menus. However, the criticism remains in its persistence with the same mistakes; the storytelling is still dull, and the excessive gear system turns over time from a reward into a burden that interrupts the harmony of play. In short: if you loved the previous installments, this part offers you everything you adored but in a newer, larger, and more vibrant mold.

The game offered us more than we expected in terms of depth and mechanics; it is not just another clone of Souls games, but rather an experience with its own identity. From the intelligence of the (Blood Codes) system, which made us care about character building more than just raising traditional stats, to the (Jail) system and the diverse weapons that made the combat characterized by speed and innovation. However, the journey was not perfect; the repetition in the design of enemies and side areas sometimes made us run toward the boss just to avoid boredom, and the technical performance distanced us from immersion in this graphically beautiful world. In conclusion, it is a distinguished game for those looking for boss fights and complex character-building systems, but you must be patient with the repetitive narrative style and technical problems.

After years of waiting, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade arrives on Xbox Series X|S platforms to provide the best experience for the world of Midgar. The story is characterized by a wonderful narrative style met by distinctive characters, but it was not devoid of repetition in some of its corners. While the gameplay combines regular and tactical combat, the fights are enjoyable for what the game offers in terms of multiple combat styles and commands, as well as the development of weapons and characters, and the use of Materia. The graphics are high quality, and the technical performance is smooth and stable, making this version a good experience worth the attention for both players of the series and the new audience.

Although the frequency of loading screens and the slow pace at times may affect the smoothness of the experience, the game remains a distinctive and polished experience for fans of investigation games and deep storytelling.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Remaster is a distinctive re-presentation of two beloved classic games, maintaining the essence of the original experience while introducing notable improvements in graphics, control, and game modes.
