After going through the valley of the shadow of death, The Last of Us Part II comes out as a wayfaring stranger from future days. It's a technical and narrative triumph that defies some of the most basic concepts of the video game. It's brutally beautiful and painfully violent, it's capable of the best and the worst. It's a masterpiece.

98 / 100 - Elden Ring
Feb 23, 2022

‎FromSoftware signs a title that, more than a new IP, looks like a swan song; the culmination after 13 years perfecting a genre. The ideas and learning of his latest works converge within the richest and most exquisitely designed open world that our feet have ever trodden. Elden Ring is a madness that seems impossible to beat.‎

Tears of the Kingdom brings together the power of adventure, the wisdom of freedom and the value of creativity, never forgetting what makes The Legend of Zelda so special: epic moments and the ability to thrill. They were not wrong to say that the title is a spoiler: we have shed tears of joy.

Breath of the Wild was born on the Wii U... and it's the perfect farewell for Nintendo's old console. There's some minor technical differences between this one and the Switch version, but Wii U owners will live the same adventure; the ultimate adventure.

97 / 100 - Persona 5 Royal
Mar 17, 2020

If Persona 5 was a diamond, the Royal version, with a gigantic amount of changes and improvements, is the treasure of the palace. The spanish localization is the gold that covers it all, and the final detail that makes it a truly invaluable gem for any thief, new or veteran.

The Phantom pain is the Divine Comedy of video games, the best infiltration adventure ever made and GOTY 2015. A true masterpiece and a perfect send-off to the man who sold the world: Hideo Kojima.

This is it, the epic, emotional and satisfying conclusion to one of gaming most beloved series. Kingdom Hearts III is everything we could had hoped for (and even more), but it's biggest achievement is that, even by today's standards, it's a one of a kind experience that can only be described using one word: magic.

95 / 100 - Hollow Knight
Jun 27, 2018

Hollow Knight won't leave you hollow; quite the opposite. This incredible 'metroidvania', most likely the best example the genre has met in over 20 years, will leave you full with a feeling only a few games have achieved: the feeling of having played a masterpiece.

95 / 100 - Dark Souls III
Apr 4, 2016

Dark Souls III is the Dark Souls of four years ago perfected in every way. Challenging, very rewarding and, above all, surprising despite resting on a very familiar foundation. Blessed are you, Miyazaki!

‎Guerrila Games reinvents itself and gives life to a beastly adventure, and not only technically. Horizon: Zero Dawn is an action RPG like the top of a pine tree, with a combat system as elaborate as it is satisfying, and a universe so colossal that a bright future for Aloy is already on the horizon. A star is born.‎

The perfect example of how all next-gen updates should be: visual improvements on all fronts, several graphic modes, playable and QOL changes, a few touches of new content... And more importantly: completely free. The Witcher 3 was already a masterpiece and now, in addition, it looks scandalous.

One of the best Game Cube games arrives, 20 years later, to become one of the best Nintendo Switch games. With brilliant visual remastering work and bomb-proof (energy) gameplay, Metroid Prime remains a masterpiece.

95 / 100 - Alan Wake 2
Oct 26, 2023

Alan Wake 2 is a brilliant survival horror that combines the surrealism of Twin Peaks, the investigations of True Detective and the paranormal elements of the SCP Foundation, but it is also the new graphical ceiling of the generation. And above all, it's a Remedy game; and it is glorious.

Terms like 'DLC' or even 'expansion' fall far short and are even insulting when used to talk about Shadow of the Erdtree. Because as you play, you realize that what FromSoftware has done is closer to being Elden Ring 1.5 than mere downloadable content. It seemed impossible, but they have been overcome again.

94 / 100 - Borderlands 3
Nov 24, 2020

A gargantuan amount of content and great gameplay (improved thanks to the new consoles capabilities) makes this the best version possible of a legendary game. The name is no lie: this is the ultimate edition of Borderlands 3.

Mar 20, 2024

If you miss the days when playing video games was about sharing experiences and secrets with your friends and games where every step was a discovery, then look no further: Dragon's Dogma 2 is the game with the most heart you'll find.

93 / 100 - Far Cry 5
Mar 26, 2018

Simply put, Far Cry 5 is the best Far Cry game to date. It has the best story, the best progression and introduces a lot of changes (for the good) while maintaining that explosive old formula that works so freaking well. God Bless Hope County

Samus returns with an adventure that it's an example of how all remakes should be, respecting the original game, honoring the classics and adding a pinch from the latest games. Samus Returns is not only a great Metroid game: is also one of the best titles for the Nintendo 3DS.

93 / 100 - Celeste
Feb 5, 2018

A story about overcoming grief and accepting ourselves under the guise of an impeccable platformer. Celeste is the kind of game that no one, not even those who despise jumping games, should miss.

93 / 100 - Devil May Cry 5
Mar 6, 2019

On top of being one of the best looking action games ever made, none other hack'n slash has ever been so complex and varied, but also fun. It may be all about demons and hell, but Devil May Cry 5 is like reaching heaven.
