Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch, Switch 2)

After years of waiting, Samus Aran returns as the protagonist of a chapter that aims to redefine the boundaries of the saga. Set on the mysterious planet Viewros, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond intertwines science fiction and introspection in an adventure that alternates tension, discovery, and adrenaline-pumping combat.

The intergalactic bounty hunter will be able to count on new psychic abilities and the Vi-0-La, a futuristic motorcycle that radically transforms the exploration of alien biomes. Between ancient ruins, unknown races, and the return of the enigmatic Sylux, Retro Studios delivers a majestic, intense, and visually spectacular experience. An unmissable title for those seeking action, atmosphere, and a sense of adventure in pure Metroid style.

It's time to light up the dance floor with Just Dance 2026 Edition, the new chapter of the most iconic rhythm game ever. With a selection of 40 tracks ranging from current hits to pop legends, from Dua Lipa to Madonna, every game becomes a true choreographic spectacle.

The brand new Party mode introduces unpredictable challenges and plot twists designed to keep the rhythm high, while local multiplayer for up to 6 dancers transforms every session into a shared party. Perfect for Christmas evenings and for those who love to combine music, movement, and fun, Just Dance 2026 confirms its mission: to make the world dance, one step at a time.

Ghost of Yotei (PS5)

From the creators of Ghost of Tsushima comes Ghost of Yotei (here is the review), a new samurai journey steeped in poetry, honor, and revenge. Set amidst the relentless snows of northern Japan, the game puts the player in the shoes of Atsu, a warrior determined to redeem her past by exploring the wild island of Ezo.

Between elegantly choreographed sword duels, snowstorms that change the landscape in real-time, and wild creatures that test survival, Ghost of Yotei blends the pathos of Kurosawa's cinema with the visual power of the next-generation engine. An epic and contemplative adventure, ideal for those who love feudal Japan, stories of redemption, and the art of samurai combat.

Little Nightmares 3 (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch 2, Switch, PC)

The nightmare continues. With Little Nightmares III, the saga from Tarsier Studios and Bandai Namco brings us back to the heart of the Spiral, a twisted universe where reality and dream dissolve into a single, agonizing vision.

As Low and Alone, two fleeing children, the player faces environmental puzzles, deformed creatures, and a constant tension that grows with every step. For the first time, the experience opens up to online co-op, allowing players to share fear and hope on a dark and poetic journey. A visually hypnotic adventure, with a dark and fairy-tale charm, that confirms Little Nightmares III as one of the most evocative and atmospheric titles of the year.

The new combat system blends the tactical brutality typical of the studio with the spectacular choreography of PlatinumGames, creating a dizzying and impeccable battle rhythm. Transformable weapons and the Blood Core Ninjutsu add strategic depth to an experience that rewards reflexes and mastery. A grand return, designed for those who thrive on extreme challenges, fluid action, and visceral style.

Battlefield 6 (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC)

With Battlefield 6, Electronic Arts and DICE bring the series back to its roots, blending military realism and cinematic chaos in an experience that aims to redefine large-scale shooters.

Set between 2027 and 2028, the title stages a global conflict between a fragmented NATO and the private military corporation Pax Armata, giving rise to titanic battles on immense and completely destructible maps. The new movement system amplifies tactical freedom, while the single-player campaign promises an intense, Hollywood-style narrative.
