MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is a shooter that stands out for its personality and outstanding artistic execution, backed by top-notch voice acting and a meticulously crafted atmosphere. It doesn’t reinvent the genre—nor does it try to—but its straightforward, fun, and well-balanced approach makes it work exceptionally well throughout the entire adventure. It’s not a game that will go down in history, but it is one that’s a ton of fun to play.

KuloNiku: Bowl Up! is one of those cozy games that’s deceptive at first glance: it seems laid-back, but it’s intense, challenging, and deep. It skillfully blends arcade gameplay, management, and social interaction to deliver a surprisingly well-rounded experience, with a carefully paced progression that hooks you from the very start.

Replaced is a very solid cyberpunk narrative adventure, featuring an outstanding world and atmosphere that draw you in from the very start. Its story, though somewhat clichéd, is well-told and gains strength thanks to its characters and the world it builds. The gameplay doesn’t quite reach the same level, but it’s a very good video game and more than lives up to expectations.

RACCOIN is a roguelike that’s as absurd as it is addictive; it’s more strategic than it seems, but its chaos and randomness prevent it from reaching the heights of classics like Balatro. Even so, I think it’s one of the most original and unique experiences of recent times, and it’s guaranteed to be addictive.

Super Meat Boy 3D is a bold adaptation that successfully brings the essence of the original into three dimensions, retaining its speed, precision, and challenge. It doesn’t quite reach the level of the classic and suffers from obvious issues with the camera and depth, but it’s a thoroughly enjoyable experience for fans of the genre, especially if they’re looking for a demanding and straightforward challenge.

Nutmeg! is a unique soccer management game with an original concept and a lighthearted approach that can be very appealing if you know what to expect. However, it falls short as a deckbuilder and suffers from unclear design choices that weigh down the matches. It has charm and personality, but also some inconsistencies that mean it won’t appeal to everyone.

Crimson Desert comes highly recommended because it’s a game that combines ambition, scale, and detail in an exceptional way. At first, it can be frustrating due to its dense systems, cryptic puzzles, and some questionable design choices, but when everything clicks, it offers a unique experience. It’s a game designed for those who enjoy in-depth exploration paired with a complex combat system, rewarding patience and curiosity.

Marathon is recommended because it’s a challenging and rewarding shooter, where the gunplay, frame customization, and teamwork stand out as its greatest strengths. Despite its flaws, it offers a solid experience. It’s a game with enough potential to establish itself as a benchmark within the extraction shooter genre.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is the installment that finally establishes the sub-series as more than just a niche spin-off. It is more ambitious, more mature, and much closer to the spirit of Monster Hunter, both in the challenge of its combat and in the construction of its world.

iRacing Arcade is a fun, accessible driving arcade game with interesting ideas that manage to maintain a certain flavor of real competition. Its handling works very well, the AI offers intense races, and the tracks are quite well designed, but the game falls a little short in terms of content.

Resident Evil Requiem is a must-play game because it combines the best of classic survival horror with action. The duality of both characters allows for a varied and always exciting experience, which balances fear and vulnerability with forcefulness and power. The narrative respects the legacy of the series and is supported by audiovisual elements that offer the best possible immersion. Although it has a few minor issues, it is a terrifying, exciting, and memorable game; a tribute to the franchise's 30-year history.

Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is recommended because it is a sequel in the strictest sense of the word. It expands, improves, and polishes the original concept without taking risks. It is longer, more varied, and superior in terms of gameplay, but it does not innovate much. If you liked the first one, play it.

High on Life 2 comes recommended because it's a daring and entertaining game. This sequel expands on the madness of the original with new mechanics, bigger worlds, and humor that works better than ever. That said, it still isn't dubbed into Spanish, but if you're looking for frenetic action with exploration and unfiltered comedy, this is the game for you.

Mario Tennis Fever comes highly recommended because it remains a very entertaining franchise, both when playing solo and with friends. The addition of the furor rackets is particularly welcome, preventing matches from becoming repetitive and bringing a much-needed freshness to the series. The wide variety of game modes makes for a highly addictive experience, all accompanied by brilliant audiovisuals.

Romeo Is a Dead Man is recommended because it is a game that shines mainly for its personality, style, and creativity, rather than for its gameplay depth. Its combination of direct action, extravagant narrative, and artistic direction makes it a unique experience, especially for those looking for a game full of humor and surprises.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is the perfect example of how to update a classic JRPG without betraying its essence. It's not afraid to break with what came before. Square Enix has managed to eliminate the filler, improve the pacing, modernize key systems, and accompany it with outstanding visuals, resulting in a much more accessible, agile, and enjoyable experience.

Crisol: Theater of Idols is recommended because it is a solid debut that manages to combine horror, action, and exploration in a very original way. It offers a memorable experience with its own unique identity. Except for minor performance issues and its artificial intelligence, it has enough potential to become a benchmark in survival horror.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is recommended because it is a remake that respects and updates the classic. It offers many hours of fun and a solid narrative experience. The combat system has been revamped and still includes a wide variety of missions/activities. It also includes a new story featuring Yoshitaka Mine. Without a doubt, it is an excellent opportunity to delve into this chapter of the saga.

I Hate This Place is a visually appealing video game based on a very attractive idea, but its execution is full of decisions that are difficult to justify. The lack of explanations, the imbalances in its survival approach, clunky combat, and a poorly crafted narrative make the experience suffer from start to finish.

Reanimal is the definitive consecration of Tarsier Studios as the masters of atmospheric horror, surpassing the legacy of Little Nightmares through visceral art and cooperative gameplay that is as entertaining as it is suffocating. Although its puzzles are somewhat conventional, its masterful use of the camera and nightmarish aesthetics make it much more than a spiritual successor. We'll talk about it again at the end of the year.
