Invincible VS is a very solid fighting game. The story is undoubtedly its weakest point, but the fun you’ll get from the arcade and online modes is enough to keep you hooked for hours.

Aphelion is a third-person adventure set on a remote planet. With two playable characters and the planet Persephone as the true protagonist, its climbing mechanics and stealth sequences aren’t enough to draw us into the experience. DON’T NOD repeats some of its past mistakes by forcing drama and intensity in an adventure where science fiction is relegated to a secondary role. A flimsy excuse to watch the characters suffer and declare their love for one another to the strains of a cello throughout the four or five hours the experience lasts.

With a universe of design possibilities and an outstanding creative engine, Double Fine offers us the catharsis of destruction in a game that oozes originality and humor from every pore. Kiln invites us to build our own combat vessels and take them into battle in a game featuring great level design, frantic 90s-style gameplay, and a unique art style. While we wait for new maps and game modes, the current catalog falls a bit short—we’ll have to wait and see how it grows in the coming weeks.

With Saros, Housemarque once again proves what it's made of. It's a step forward from Returnal, building on the best parts of that experience and elevating them even further. The result is a game that is both challenging and rewarding, with a complex and fascinating story, a protagonist who undergoes significant development, and gameplay that invites us to keep pushing ourselves time and time again.

Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes successfully adapts its unsettling world and atmosphere to VR. A must-play experience (though perhaps a bit too short) for fans of the series.

Sad Cat Studios makes its debut with REPLACED, a gripping adventure that rewrites humanity’s known past. Some 80 dystopian and retrofuturistic settings serve as the backdrop for the story, which takes on special significance as the game progresses. Outstanding art, visceral combat, and platforming come together to create an action title where everything blends perfectly to form a well-rounded video game.

Tomodachi Life: A Dream Life is a social simulation game where you create Miis and watch them interact in unpredictable ways, generating comical and absurd situations. While it is tremendously fun, certain Nintendo policies hinder what should be a much more community-driven social experience.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is a visual treat, but it’s also a memorable experience to play. It’s a classic shooter that oozes charisma and will provide hours of good fun.

Pragmata goes all-in with a unique gameplay approach—and it pays off. At first, it’s challenging to balance the two major systems it introduces, but over time, this hybrid combat system has really won me over. That, combined with the character portrayals and the story of its two protagonists, makes Pragmata one of the must-play games of the year so far.

Depending on how you look at it, the nature of Life is Strange: Reunion changes completely. On the one hand, it works perfectly as a tribute to the first game in the series, delivering a deeply emotional reunion. On the other hand, the gameplay and story of this new installment don't stand out as much as they should, precisely because they rely too heavily on nostalgia.
