Hyrule Warriors Legends is a really strange experiment. On the one hand Koei Tecmo, achieved its goal of implementing almost all of the elements of the core Wii U game into a portable version and present them in a practical way. You can be sure that you will find here all of that action packaged gameplay and extensive fanservice in the palm of your hands. Having said that, this game fails in achieving the most desirable experience because of its many flaws, the most noticeable related with its graphics and resolution. It is a recommended only for the fans of the home console version or those who have been waiting to try it and have a lot of tolerance to really slow framerate.

It's a shame that LEGO Jurassic World is the only game that accompanies the new Jurassic Park movie, thankfully its contents present all that we know from the franchise, even if this is shown with blocks.

If you are a Pokémon fan, you will probably enjoy getting more out of the versions of Scarlet and Violet with this DLC, while we wait for the next big installment, which could be some kind of remaster. And yes, something to keep in mind is the fact that things are not going to improve graphically or in performance for this new content that is already available in the eShop.

Contra: Operation Galuga is a nice return to the traditional formula of the series, which fulfills the wishes of the fans. Although at the moment we do not know what will happen, I hope that WayForward manages to take the reins of the series in the future, and then give us a similar work, but focused on The Alien Wars and Hard Corps, and regardless of whether they expand the concepts that we see here present, or choose to continue on a safe path, I'm sure I won't miss the Contra unit's next big mission.

This game is a must for any fan of horror movies. The game system works really nice and the result is a very fun title that continuously offers cool references to classic horror films.

The new mode called Battle Station is a great addition to the game. Death Star also comes with 5 new maps and weapons. It's great to finally have dogfights in space.

Yo-Kai Watch 2 has a charming world full of details and colorful characters but just a few innovations compared with its predecessor. Maybe all the new elements in the series like online medal swap and competitive battles should have been from the start on the first game. At the end of the day, is good to see the localization of this sequel for the big fans of the series.

In some ways, Kiln is a return to a simpler time. There are no microtransactions or a battle pass trying to monetize your time. Double Fine has created a straightforward experience, which has both positive and negative aspects. However, it's undeniable that Kiln lacks content. While there's a promise of more maps and pottery in the future, at the moment there aren't many reasons to stick with this experience. At this point, Double Fine's work is perfect for Xbox Game Pass. You can jump in, have fun with your friends, and move on with your life without looking back.

The new game on Ghost Recon series gives us a huge open world full of natural landscapes and missions to complete, unfortunately a lot of its content falls on the same repetitive formula than similar open world games. Besides that, Ghost Recon returns with a deep weapon personalization system, interesting tactical gameplay and tons of fun, especially when you play it on co-op.

Code Vein II is a title that can be considered a continuation of the original, but it also adds elements that make the gameplay more enjoyable, including revamped blood codes, a greater presence of companions, and added weapons. As a result, the combat is improved, feeling more fluid and precise.

The strategic Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires satisfies a very small group of fans with a good game on a functional portable version. This game probably feel generic and repetitive for some players but its tactical nature works very well on PS Vita and PS TV.

New World is an MMORPG for fans of the genre. Although the work that Amazon Game Studios presents has interesting ideas for its multiplayer section, this experience will not change your opinion regarding this type of games.

Project Cards 3 feels less like a simulator and more like an arcade racing game. If you are a series veteran this might feel like a wrong direction for the series, but newcomers should appreciate all the accessibility options available for them.

Fast, intuitive and addictive, Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel does not innovate in the genre. However, it delivers a solid and classic experience based in the history of the 2D fighting games.

The first episode of Batman: The Telltale Series is a little bit slow, but it tells a great story with a lot of potential. The inspiration of the comics in this new game makes it a must have for all Batman fans.

Unfortunately, the game is very simple. The platforming, combat, and puzzles are extremely easy. While High on Life 2 manages to excel in moments where it pushes its own boundaries and presents unconventional sections, 90% of the adventure consists of segments where all the game's good ideas are executed in the simplest way possible, to the point that some players won't have the energy to reach the end. It's not a bad game, and there are stages that manage to capture your attention, but it's not something everyone should experience.

Mario Golf: Super Rush offers solid gameplay and a fun experience. However, some of the formula changes will disappoint more than one.

Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers is a game to enter the genre of srpg, because the learning curve is very smooth and allows new players to understand the most basic concepts. The latter is its greatest strength, since it simplifies the experience and makes it friendly to everyone so that is the best way to know this type of games. It is also brilliant to let us see the franchise from a fresh point of view and make us understand it in more ways, so we can enjoy more of the series and its history. However, we can not say that it is excellent because it is technically mediocre, even though this is not entirely relevant, they could have made a greater effort to make the game feel more alive.

SPY×ANYA: Operation Memories is a game that could be worth it, but only for those who already have a knowledge of the series, since they take a lot of things for granted in terms of characters. They don't explain much who they really are, they assume that you already know the identities and backgrounds of each of them, so if you want it to be your first step in the franchise it is not the right way.

Maybe its appearance and story are not the best on the market but Rainbow Moon is a deep and solid tactical RPG with a lot of interesting gameplay hours. Now that it’s on PS4, this title is the perfect company to prepare us for Rainbow Skies.

If you are a follower of this sport or if you enjoyed Fight Night Champion at the time, it is a must-buy because not only does it have similarities with the defunct EA Sports license, but it surpasses it in various sections.

Addictive and well designed gameplay, easy to start, challenging to complete. Curses’n Chaos is a fun brawler with an interesting item combining system. It comes with a nice presentation and an amazing soundtrack.

Outer Rim is a good addition for Star Wars: Battlefront, but it doesn't represent a reason to buy the full game.

Madden NFL 23 has good fundamentals and fun gameplay, but the game-as-a-service elements and micropayments end up affecting the final product.

We're right in mid-season of the Game of Thrones game by Telltale Games. In this third episode named The Sword in the Darkness, the studio decided to focus on the narrative aspect but left behind the gameplay in what's so far the longest chapter.

Despite we feel that a lot of opportunities with its open world were unexplored, Grow Home still has all the charming and good mechanics of its predecessor offering us an enjoyable adventure.

This tactical shooter developed by Intelligent Systems, presents sophisticated level design that combines perfectly with the game mechanics.

Ascendant Studios made a good first try with this game, which if you manage to dominate in combat can be entertaining for the user, especially with the amount of magic available. Of course, I would not recommend it to everyone, since some technical and repetition aspects may not be completely pleasing, especially those who do not have patience.

We recomend Flame Over to the hardcore fans of its genre because the true potential of the game is not present in the first hours of learning. It requires a lot of patience and perseverance. If we discard some slight problems, we have a really good surprise among the games of the PS Vita; it’s a good, difficult, frustrating and very addictive experience.

Pokémon Super Mystery is a game so simple with an excessive amount of content that could easily turn into a monotonous and tedious adventure. Don’t misunderstand; the game is great if you love titles from genres like dungeon crawlers and simple RPG. However because of its basic gameplay mechanics and slow paced progress, many gamers could feel that this adventure could take ages to take us to the really good part of the game. If you can tolerate this, then you will find a really charming game full of fantastic Pokémon to befriend.

This is the first attempt on a series that could have been better in a matter of balance of progression and difficulty. However, it delivers excellent mechanics with a unique taste that differentiate the title among others from the same genre. Unforgettable boss battles, and tons of fan service for followers of the franchise.

The core Kunio-kun's mechanics are back on an old school flavored game, it's plenty of fun and content and the mixed elements from the RPGs and Beat'em ups work well. Unfortunately it's simpler than other similar contemporary games on its genre and the visuals are not consistent all times.

Trek to Yomi has been a game that I quite enjoyed from the moment I started it, until the end credits were rolling in front of me. What I would tell you again is not to expect a title as sophisticated in its core mechanics as we have seen in other similar ones, here, the experience is rather focused on its own visual and sound presentation. If you are one of those who love to be consuming indie experiments, it goes without saying that you should try the new Devolver as soon as you have the opportunity. In case you are one of those who was waiting for a game full of action and frenzy, I am afraid that you will not find it here.

With simple gameplay, charming story, chibi design and a flashy companion system, Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy! is a title that can become an excellent entry for all those who have not played a roguelike game. It's a shame that, in the end, it ends up becoming a fairly repetitive project that denotes the same mistakes of the original Wii game.

Tumbleseed is a beautiful and original roguelike with simple, fresh and unique gameplay mechanics. Its smart design gave us a deep experience full of variety and one of the most difficult game of this year for sure. Maybe some difficult spikes feel unfair but if you have a lot of practice and tons of patience you could dominate it.

Song of the Deep is a very good metroidvania style game, with challenging puzzles and a big map to explore. A good story and great presentation combined with interesting aquatic corridors and creative mechanics make us forget some minor design problems and technical issues that could be polished better for the final game.

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition its a good remaster with great visuals but with a formula that, sadly, feels limited and kinda simple for the genre standards of nowadays. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable game that will appeal mostly to those fans and players who enjoyed the original title from two decades ago.

One of the games that imbibed the formula created in 1998 was Hitman that appeared for PC in 2000, now 18 years after its launch it is one of the most recognized series of its kind, even with the ups and downs it has had in recent times and in which its future seeming uncertain due to the reception problems that its last two deliveries have had. In the middle of the current situation IO Interactive brings us a remastering of two widely-recognized games for very different reasons among them, namely, Blood Money and Absolution being the first one of the most acclaimed and the second one that did not have the expected reception among fans.

Hollow Realization is easily the best game based on the SAO Series; however its far from perfect. Albeit it offers a functional scheme of controls, a rich world to explore and an ambitious relations system, its weak and boring story, confusing menus and poor character AI make this game a hard test for all those die-hard fans. If you are a desperate gamer then maybe you will have a difficult time with this game; if you prevail all of its flaws, then you will get rewarded with a game that overflows with personality and fanservice.

God Eater 2: Rage Burst feels like a wasted opportunity. Although it offers more of that frenetic and savage gameplay from its predecessor, its poor presentation and lack of innovations turns this game in one without any sense of surprise. Unless you are willing to play more from God Eater, we suggest you to stick with playing the remake of God Eater Resurrections.

Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is a title made for fans full of fan service. The simple, but fun combat makes it one of the best anime games of recent years, but it still has a couple of problems.

So far, Sunwolf Entertainment shows potential to continue in its quest to gain a foothold in the gamer world, since with its first development it has received constant feedback in the press, which should provide them with the necessary elements to fine-tune the defects and polish their virtues based on the soundtrack and the setting of pre-Columbian cultures.

We were striving for a new Wild Area and we received a the next step of Pokémon's open world experience. Sadly the first part of the Expansion Pass still feels shallow and with lots of empty space.

Despite making a couple of stumbles along the way, Star Ocean: The Divine Force is a quality JRPG. tri-Ace has managed to offer an adventure that combines the medieval with science fiction greatly.

Despite its flaws, Thief VR remains one of the standout games in the format that can be recommended, one that, with better polish, could have shone brighter as a worthy return of a seemingly forgotten franchise.

In Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess we find a neat puzzle game where synchronization and pace are essential to earn the highest scores.

The Callisto Protocol is just the new survival horror AAA game that we've been expecting. Despite not being the revolution that Dead Space brought almost 15 years ago, it's new ideas, atmosphere and general concept, are a win.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a complete deception. It is a terrible soccer game and an awful anime representation.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a good try to expand the mechanics that were introduced by its predecessor, but some technical issues like poor graphics and a flat level design prevent the game of becoming a much more enjoyable experience.

Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star for Switch could be considered as the best version of the title. Thanks to the technical aspects of the console that let it run with a better resolution in its portable format, it performs better that the one of the Vita. Also and even though it has less framerate in its TV mode, all of its gameplay runs smoothly, the amount enough that make it not be outclassed by the PS4 edition. Also and as an aesthetic bonus, it has all of its DLC from the beginning.

Star Fox Zero is the first game that really exploits the capabilities of the Wii U's gamepad. Its superb controls, great music, awesome characters and breathtaking level design make it a must have to all Nintendo's fans out there. If you were expecting a sequel to the great Star Fox 64, we can tell you that the wait is over.

Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition won’t convince those who don’t love the genre, and it doesn’t bring new features to compete with modern titles either. However, being in a portable device left us with a good impression. The action, irreverence and difficulty that left a mark in the history of video games goes well with the PlayStation Vita.

Knack II is a better game than its predecessor; it has improved gameplay mechanics, nice additions and some corrections that were needed from the previous game. However, it still suffers from many flaws that were present in the past - like little challenge, absurd story or linear levels - that tarnishes most of its improvements. It is fun to play but an inconsequential experience.

Sea of Thieves is a very risky game. Not only does it come out after very successful multiplayer projects like Diablo, Borderlands and even Destiny, but it presents some difficulties in trying to play with other users and in some of its confusing progress mechanics. But when you are able to play it with people willing to achieve the goal missions and to be communicative, the experience changes completely for the best.

Even if it looks very good for a mobile experience, Assassin’s Creed Identity is just a collection of repetitive mini-missions on recycled Italian landscapes that the franchise don’t need. The promise of a true action RPG experience with your own assassin was not accomplished at all.

The Siege of Paris, the new DLC for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, is a nice expansion, which just leaves you wanting more.

There’s nothing new in Last Round that you haven’t seen by now in the previous versions of DoA 5, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, the constant problems that prevail in the online mode are something that will make the experience of playing it something really frustrating. It’s really a shame that a really important aspect like this still suffers after the two really good attempts that were Dead or Alive 5 and Ultimate.

Marvel MaXimum Collection is a mixed bag of content. For fans, it's a must-have. However, I also understand if some people aren't interested in what Limited Run Games has presented us. There's nothing inherently wrong with Marvel MaXimum Collection, but there's not much to write home about either.

Mad Max would be a perfect game if not for its obvious technical and design deficiencies. However, it emerges as a sublime experience for fans of the post-apocalyptic universe, besides offering an impeccable presentation and an ambitious narrative both in the script and the construction of a living world.

Hey! Pikmin is a small and pretty simple game, but it is a beautiful experience that every fan of this series should enjoy.

Even though it's similar in almost every aspect, the original Resident Evil HD Remaster outshines this title. Lesser attention to detail and laziness when building the new game mode is noticeable since first minutes. However, it delivers in every technical aspect as its predecessor.

This is a unique Warriors experience that delivers more in the narrative side that the others in the series catalogue. Low replayability may not seem like the perfect feature, but it includes original movesets and colorful characters that will make the overall experience enjoyable.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite feels like a generic loot shooter that doesn't manage to capture at all the look and feel of the Aliens franchise. Instead, we are left with a boring, repetitive and buggy game.

After having an ending from the first episode worthy of the works of George R.R. Martin, here comes the second chapter of Game of Thrones form Telltale Games titled The Lost Lords. The Forrester family must defend their land at no matter what cost and, it seems that there's a light of hope in their battle against the Whitehills, but it won't be easy.

Chronicles: China is a decent and correct game, it adapts the mechanics of the popular Ubisoft franchise to 2.5D perspective in a positive way with interesting contributions. Its history is not brilliant but it has a decent presentation and some fun mechanics.

Snake Pass is a fun and original gameplay experiment that works well to offer us a good and charming exploration game.

Tembo The Badass Elephant is a pretty fun side-scrolling platform game. The game mechanics are solid, but the level design by Game Freak is too simple.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a solid game but still far from being the best game in the history of the franchise. Its fun and full of fan service. The online capabilities might add several hours of entertainment, sadly, its graphics and controls are still not the best.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is the greatest version of these portable games.

A great return to the action mecha shooter sub genre. Daemon X Machina is not for everyone, nonetheless, a pretty good videogame.

Has improvements, but some glitches remain. We have more creative options and movements, but we lost the Showcase Mode.

You don't need to know everything about the Borderlands franchise to enjoy this installment, since it remains an independent plot from what is seen in the main games. And for those who are already familiar, it is clear that they will enjoy it more because of all the winks and references that they will find along the way.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated breathes new life into one of the best games of 2003. It is a remake that any fan of the yellow sponge or the original game should not miss.

If you liked I am Setsuna or just games with a very old school gameplay, then this title is for you.

As a tribute to the franchise it's not bad, but as a game in general, there are more interesting proposals on the market, whether it's a JRPG or a hack and slash. However, those who don't mind repetition can enjoy it. This is where the line is drawn to decide whether or not to buy the product.

A great sequel to the 2015 game. Star Wars: Battlefront II feels like a complete product, but the loot box thing surely is going to cause bad reactions.

The multiplayer is absolutely funny. Is plenty of characters. But the story mode and some of the heroes doesn't have the charisma that you could expect. Great ideas, but not so well developed.

It is clear that this is a delivery dedicated one hundred percent to the fans, who already know these stories perfectly, so I do not recommend the game to those who are just joining the saga. Of course, those who do not miss the news about the blonde ninja will obviously buy it without even thinking twice.

A pretty good experiment from FromSoftware, creators Dark Souls. The approach of the Japanese studio with VR tech is interesting, but rough around the edges.

Yooka-Laylee is a good classic 3D platformer which is better in its first hours and levels when you are discovering the wide array of activities and challenges that you have in this retro colectathon. The rest of the time you can suffer with some weak design decisions to prolong the time required to complete the game.

NBA Playgrounds is not perfect, at this moment the game could offer us a deep variety of game modes and there are some mechanics like precision in perfect shots that are difficult to understand. On the other side, is a very fun experience when you are challenging other player on your own platform or in the competitive online matches.

FIFA 18 on Switch is by far the best portable edition in the FIFA series. It works great in the handheld mode: no framerate issues, quick loading and easy to start. Sadly this version still feels like an old one, but we hope EA Romania can improve the game in the next entry.

If you want to complete 16 legendary installmentsof the Yugi saga, this is your opportunity to review its history and learn why it became a mass success. Also, if Konami sees interest in sales, they may now want to move to the PlayStation era.

My Hero's One Justice 2 doesn't fix some of the flaws the first game had, and instead, tries to add more content, but with the same mistakes.

Dead Kings has some good moments and feels like a nice apology from Ubisoft for the original game’s mess. Going back to the roots of the series fits really well into this DLC.

Shadow Labyrinth is a very interesting experiment from Bandai Namco. The game clearly has its flaws, but there's also a lot of potential here. If the developers have the opportunity to create a sequel, I'm sure they'll take everything that worked in this title and expand on it to deliver an experience that meets the goals the team surely had for this title.

Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold is a good entry to the RPG genre, but it may be too simple for some experienced players.

Marvel's Avengers has a great main campaign accompanied by great potential, but in the end it is overshadowed by technical errors and an unnecessary GaaS section.

Serious Sam 4 feels like a decade old game, and some of its elements are plainly outdated. Sometimes it's best to just leave things behind, and maybe it's time for the Serious Sam franchise to take a much needed break.

Exoprimal is not a bad game, it has good characters, it has a good concept, it looks beautiful. But still, it's not a game I can recommend. The title is available via Game Pass for Xbox Series X | S consoles and also on Game Pass PC. In this case, I could tell you that it's interesting that you take a walk around to find out if it's a game that satisfies you. As for the PlayStation versions, I'd rather spend my money on one of the many great releases we've had this year, even from Capcom itself, Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil 4 Remastered are much more worth your money than Exoprimal.

Biomutant is a game with good ideas that are executed in the most boring way possible. The experience is tedious and lacks substantial motivation for the player.

Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart doesn’t revolutionize the genre of Strategic RPG in any way and instead focuses on offering a simple yet funny and enjoyable game. That’s something to not be ashamed of. It is more a game to enjoy for all the elements it has than those that could have had. A really good game for those who like SRPG.

The power of the Ring and the big final battle with Sauron were some nice surprises on this enjoyable expansion. Unfortunately, the overall contents on the DLC and the poor story are far from the greatness of the original game.

Oninaki is a compelling game, the art style is the best from Tokyo RPG factory yet. Its story is dense, as the studio uses to, but it has its mishaps when delivering said story. The change of pace in the combat serves it well, but unfortunately the complex system renders useless once you get to the higher levels. It goes from a strategy based combat to a mindless button masher. But nevertheless, one you could enjoy.

Outlast 2 is a great sequel to the game that started this series. Awesome atmosphere, a scary setting, good game mechanics and an interesting story, are some of the elements that makes this game a must have for survival horror fans.

The narrative on Mafia III is great and exciting, maybe one of the best of the year, same with the attention to little details recreating New Bordeaux and general adjustments to the gameplay of the franchise. We cannot say the same of the general open world structure that gives us repetitive activities to unlock the premium content, in the same way, we're sad to see the final game with a myriad technical issues.

In short, if you enjoyed the original and want to take that to larger proportions, it is clear that you are going to like it, however simple its humor is and also its graphical performance. It is totally a satire made into a video game, and if we are honest, it fulfills its function of entertaining. It's not a GOTY at all, and I don't think it wants to be.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is a pretty solid product but very rough around the edges at the time. It may be a simple expansion for MSFS 2020, but a great career mode saves the day.
