Onimusha: Way of the Sword proves that Capcom's franchise still has a place in today's gaming landscape. After nearly two decades without a new mainline installment, the studio could have chosen to completely overhaul the formula to follow popular trends. Instead, they decided to recapture the essence of Onimusha and adapt it to modern possibilities.

A solid first mission for a new Bond, one we hope will kick off a long-running series. It’s a game with an uneven pace that sometimes lacks action and has too much empty gameplay, but it delivers a good spy story and an introduction to the 00 title, and it makes good use of the environments to always provide us with various options for completing infiltration missions.

Halo Campaign Evolved is one of the best ways to experience Master Chief's first adventure and serves as a promising demonstration of what the studio can achieve with Unreal Engine. It's not just Halo 1 with better graphics; it's a playful and technical reinterpretation that understands that preserving a classic doesn't mean leaving it untouched.

Those who manage to get past Marathon’s most challenging phase will discover a memorable, tense, and addictive extraction shooter brimming with ideas that push the genre in new directions.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando doesn’t set out to revolutionize the genre, and that is precisely one of its greatest strengths. Rather than striving for unnecessary complexity, it focuses on delivering a straightforward, entertaining experience that stays true to its inspiration.

Screamer is a solid racing game packed with unconventional mechanics and a more story-driven approach. If you can master the mechanics and adapt to its steep learning curve, you might still enjoy it despite the inconsistent AI of the opponents.

Resident Evil Requiem is the perfect combination of its two current gameplay styles, condensed into a game where each playable style will have its own value and will alternate. A game for fans who enjoy both, and for Leon fans to get their dose of fan service. Visually stunning, terrifying in sound, it's the peak of recent years of remakes and new releases in the series.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 arrives as a risky remake that changes more than it should in terms of its secondary content, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse, but without resulting in a definitive improvement. This will cause divisions among veteran fans, but it will help new fans enjoy an updated version of a game that already had many detractors in its day. It's very enjoyable if you focus on what it offers and not on what's missing or changed from the original.

ARC Raiders is a surprisingly polished debut project, with which Embark Studios has opted for a demanding but very well-conceived formula. Although there are aspects that could be improved, it offers a solid, dynamic experience with great potential.

The Outer Worlds 2 reaffirms Obsidian's narrative talent, learning from its past mistakes and leaving us with a complete, accessible, and coherent RPG.
