Final Fantasy on iOS adds some elements that could make the game more easy going and enjoyable for those who just want to remember the story or go through it without all the hard work. Square Enix could've performed better in the terms of controls though.

After the Silent Hill 2 remake, everyone was worried about whether Bloober Team had what it took to shine with a completely original property. Cronos: The New Dawn makes it clear that the Polish studio is capable of this and more. This is one of the best experiences of the year, and something that, I hope, will lead to a flagship franchise for this team. With this result, it's clear that Bloober Team is positioning itself as one of the representative faces of video game development, not only in Poland, but in Europe.

South of Midnight is a good experience, and that's it. Nothing memorable about it, and even its positive aspects fall short of the standards many are accustomed to. In an industry constantly striving to be exceptional and driven by the desire to become the next big thing, Compulsion Games rejects any pretense of doing so, and it's admirable that they're taking this path, but at the same time, the lack of ambition leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. South of Midnight isn't bad, but it's hard to think of anything that makes it interesting.

Judgment is the best episode so far. The narrative and gameplay mechanics are varied enough and highly satisfying. More puzzles and locations are packed in this chapter, making the gameplay challenging and giving a different experience from what we've tried so far.

The first episode of the return of the most lethal assassin of videogames returns to the roots of the series with great gameplay mechanics. It's a shame that this experience comes in separate episodes without a real reason.

Even Til Morning’s Light is widely focused on a casual market with easy puzzles and accessible gameplay is a complete experience that we can recommend. We enjoyed to explore the interesting haunted mansion in a game that reminded us our first contact with Resident Evil and Luigi’s Mansion. Til Morning’s Light deserves a sequel.

Toukiden 2 works very well as a sequel with the new open world that offer us a better approximation to the missions and the demon hand that gives us more options on its combat system. Although the game is not perfect, could be a good choice for the hunting action RPG lovers.

Nioh 2: The Tengu's Disciple is a very short experience that tries to tell a whole story, but at the same time it acknowledges that it's still missing some parts of the overall narrative. Fans of the base game should definitely give this a go.

Overcooked: Special Edition is a great co-op game that takes advantage of the Switch portability and Joy-Cons. Sadly its framerate issues prevent from getting a higher score.

Colorful, vibrating and fun, Just Dance 2020 is a great celebration for 10 years of the franchise. If fans were willing to celebrate it, Ubisoft just made it real.

The main objective of As Dusk Falls is to provide a narrative experience inspired by some of the most successful television series of recent years, such as Breaking Bad. The result? Well, it's a mixed bag.

SaGa Frontier Remastered feels like a very lazy remaster with very few adjustments that actually 'improve' the gameplay experience.

Once again Digital Eclipse does an excellent job adapting classic games to modern platforms. The Disney Afternoon Collection displays very good emulation and extras that retro game fans should try.

Mario Tennis Fever feels like the game of its predecessors, as it's always fun to play with friends, especially if you don't follow the established rules of the sport. Getting together with three other people and playing the craziest matches is definitely always a good idea. It features several interesting game modes, such as special matches, tower climbing, and classic singles and doubles cups, providing plenty of replayability. The only problem, I think, is the story mode, as it's frustrating that it has the potential to be much longer and then ends just as it reaches its climax. If you're a fan of the plumber-with-rackets franchise, I have to tell you that you're going to have a great time, similar to what happened with Aces a few years ago on the original Switch. It's the ideal game for gatherings with friends, but paying AAA price for it is something to think twice about, because yes, it costs $70.

Dragon Quest Heroes II is an incredible sequel that surpasses its predecessor in every aspect. It has great gameplay, a better story, more mechanics that refresh its experience and a cast of memorable and diverse characters specialized in many combat styles that make to not turn so easily en a repetitive and boring experience.

Persona 4: Dancing All Night is a real party from the beginning to the end. The music is amazing and the remixes of iconic pieces in the series are worth enough to acquire the title just to get them. The design of the interface, characters and stages are a visual delight. If only it had an engaging campaign mode with more depth in the characters it would be a perfect game.

If you are thirsty for an Assassin's Creed with a classic touch, it is evident that Mirage will fulfill what you are looking for, and now it is expected that Ubisoft will want to continue returning to the path lost some time ago.

The Ancient Gods - Part One is just the thing that you are expecting: more of Doom Eternal.

If you're looking for a full remake, you'll have to wait longer, as it's only a high-definition update. They're good games, but they don't have many improvements.

Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition arrives in a time when remastered games tend to dominate the launch catalogue of many consoles. Even though many of them are criticized for not offering anything new that their original counterparts didn’t have or at least received some minor additions, it's really pleasant to come across with a title that easily becomes in the definitive version of its own entry. Definitely, a remaster that fans should try.

Great challenge, funny concept, but the visuals and level design could be improved.

With solid and dynamic game mechanics, gorgeous and detailed graphics and a varied roster of pokémon fighters, this title is one that players from the genre will enjoy and fans from the series will love. Yeah, it has it flaws but as a whole, this is a game that should be tried at least one.

A great expansion for a pretty good MMORPG. Summerset is a good way to start your adventure inside The Elder Scrolls Online.

WWE 2K22 looks good, feels good, and most importantly, it manages to create a solid foundation for the franchise. After being absent for one year, Visual Concepts has managed to deliver one of the best entries in the wrestling franchise, although it also feels like a product that has much more to fulfill.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate has one of the best historical cities in a videogame and it comes with fresh gameplay elements. It’s a triumphant return for the franchise with many things that the fans will love in the game.

Mario & Luigi Paper Jam is not perfect but definitively is a solid and accessible RPG with all the humor and charming that only Alpha Dream can do with the Super Mario franchise. A solid combat system and a few improvements to the classic formula make this crossover as an enjoyable trip.

A pretty good puzzle game without new ideas, but fun after all.

After an extraordinary comeback of the Wolfenstein series last year with The New Order, now Machine Games studio and Bethesda deliver a prequel of the events that happened during the middle of the 1940's decade with the Germans experimenting with technology and soldiers to win the war. B.J. Blazkowicz is back in action to stop the Nazi threat and save the day.

With excellent gameplay mechanics, natural controls and an addictive roguelike experience, Flinthook is the best Tribute Games product to date. It offer us a good equilibrium between challenge, progression and fun.

Dying Light 2 is a fantastic title that manages to improve almost every aspect of the original game. It is one of the most ambitious and beautiful open world games I have ever played, and if you were a fan of the first game, then you should definitely give this one a try. Not only does it blend combat, exploration and storytelling in a superb way, but it also delivers an unforgettable experience that will remain in my heart for years to come.

If you're a loyal fan of pop culture's most popular sword fights, you should definitely play it to prepare for what's next in the franchise. However, if you tried watching the series and never really got into it, it's best to spend your money on something more entertaining.

The new game from the Gears of War creator is an interesting experience, but I think that its lack of personality will make it forgettable after a short period of time.

Far Cry Primal is an authentic survival prehistoric adventure in a rich and hostile environment. Even if it doesn't have the best story in the series, the use of the animals and the primitive weapons are some of the features that make it a fresh and fun experience.

Although many (myself included) were somewhat concerned after learning that Mikami would not be the director on this occasion giving the opportunity to John Johanas, the American's work with a different tone and narrative direction helped the overall experience.

If you like Persona 5 and all its spinoffs that have come out over the years, it is clear that Tactica should not be missing from your collection, especially if you are an enthusiast of strategy games.

WarioWare: Get It Together! is a brilliant return to the micro game formula. The directly use of characters inside the game changes in a pretty good way how do you approach each challenge that the games throws.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a fantastic spinoff that manages to combine everything that makes Borderlands great, and even improves on the formula with welcome additions such as magic and a brand new fantasy setting. Sure, the humor and the loot system can be a little bit overwhelming at times, but even then, it's still an awesome time. The shooting and the gameplay mechanics feel responsive and precise, plus the 120FPS mode really makes the game feel much smoother than the standard 60FPS and 4K mode.

The Heist is a disappointing DLC for a superb game. While people might be interested in Black Cat character, at the end they would probably gonna feel that $10 dollars for this is not worth it.

It goes without saying how much we recommend Super Mario Party Jamboree, as you could check out in our original coverage. This is a wonderful installment of this beloved series, one that refreshes it with truly brilliant and innovative ideas, yet is also very aware of what has always made this franchise so special. Is Jamboree TV worth paying for? If you have someone to play with, the answer would be a resounding yes. Returning to this title that has given us so many laughs will be a true delight. If, on the other hand, you're not sure who you could take advantage of all the new features with, it's best to think twice, because its price, as we already told you, is not low. Of course, if you didn't give it a try on the original Switch, now's an unbeatable time to continue developing your Switch 2.

The real successor of Harvest Moon. It manages to keep the classic formula, and at the same time it displays evolution and simplifies activities that were already aging, such as harvesting.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War feels like a backwards step for the franchise. A pretty forgettable campaign and an ok multiplayer, makes it a good, but not great new Call of Duty.

An interesting platform game that offers high difficulty and varied challenges with the basic mechanics that made the series unforgettable. It even has some problems with its presentation, the inclusion of the original Super Famicom game and some extras increases its value.

Watch Dogs: Legion feels like a huge step forward for the franchise, but the ridiculous amount of bugs and glitches make playing through the experience a real headache.

The insufferable camera has been corrected, fast travel has been added, there are more collectibles to obtain, and new movement skills that make it not feel slow. For its part, the graphics have undergone a touch-up that will please both insiders and outsiders, although it was not optimized in the best way on all platforms.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster is a great way to experience one of the best JRPGs of the turn of the century. However, the remastering work leaves a lot to be desired.

It is noted that Electronic Arts decided to pause various improvements in FIFA 23, to have a greater repertoire in its new installment that is completely separated from the license of the world soccer body.

It is a game that remains decent, it is not at all the fifth wonder of the world, but neither can it be interpreted as a disaster that will leave users indifferent, especially the most fanatical. The next installment must commit to delivering a product worthy of the new generation of consoles, since it seems that PS4 and Xbox One are limiting in some way.

A great return to the Baker Manor. Bedroom is the best section of this DLC by far, presenting an amazing puzzle with tense situations. Nightmare and Ethan Must Die are modes with more action that makes them a little more generic. If you enjoyed Resident Evil 7's main game, you should check this expansion.

A great return for one of the most beloved sports franchises. Mario Tennis Aces has a great single player mode and a functional online multiplayer mode.

It's clear that Visions of Mana is the best game in the series. The title is able to look back at its past and bring back the series' signature elements in a way that everyone can appreciate. While it's not without its issues, it's still a must-play experience for fans, and I hope this installment marks the return of Mana.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is the kind of sequel that fans of this game were hoping for. It builds upon what already existed, harnessing all that was praised in the original title, and adds elements that make it a much more enriched and enhanced version.

If you like FPS games that work over a wave after wave after wave, of enemies, you should check Killing Floor 2 a soon as possible.

It's clear that Capcom wants to pave the way for the next title in the franchise, and it wouldn't be so far-fetched to see a third installment at some point follow suit. While there's no real connection between the protagonists, their goal is to eradicate Oda Nobunaga once and for all.

Without real innovation in gameplay mechanics, the first story DLC for the great Deus Ex: Mankind Divided makes an outstanding job in terms of narrative and story telling. Besides, this expansion has an awesome new area to explore. If you enjoyed the main game, you should check System Rift.

The third installment of the this new Hitman is by far the best one yet. Its great level design makes it a must have to every fan of this type of game.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is not a bad game at all as it offers plenty of frenetic and chaotic battles with simple yet fun gameplay mechanics. However, it is really predictable and its contents are what many fans (from both the anime and Musou series) would expect. It's more of the same formula we have seen in previous titles, though that is not necessarily bad or wrong; only not amusing.

For Persona 3: Reload fans, Episode Aigis is a pretty interesting piece of content that's worth paying for, but for those who couldn't quite connect with the base experience, this DLC won't be for them. This is an expansion that struggles to justify its existence, a task that seems impossible considering Persona 3: Reload's spectacular ending, but it's not a job without merit.

So if you're a fan of Star Wars and action games, you're likely to enjoy this one, whether you're just into the story or you'd rather do the side quests. Massive Entertainment has created a very good product that could perhaps be improved if they decide to make a sequel in the future.

The Gran Turismo franchise makes its comeback almost four years after its latest entrance with a different attempt for the driving simulator games: VR and an online, esports' focus for the masses. Despite being a great attempt, it just doesn't feel cohesive or complete as any other of its own past games.

A pretty good remastered version of a decent FPS that nobody played during the last console generation. If you want a crazy adventure full of bullets and gore, you should check it out.

A relatively simple yet somewhat deep game. Albeit it doesn’t harbor a really challenging difficulty nor a complex story, it offers an easygoing narrative in which its gameplay rewards aspects like exploration and collections of items for alchemy recipes over other more common in the genre like action, narrative and complex controls.

The first episode of Life is Strange works well, presenting the characters and mechanics of a game that has great potential. The time manipulation system can become a turning point in its identity as game, but there is still much work to do in the subsequent chapters.

Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is a nice try to show us that the 2D Fighting scene is still alive, its attractive and fun but in comparison with titles such as Guilty Gear xrd sign and Persona 4 Arena, it falls short with some control issues.

The Council is a good attempt to refresh the narrative adventure genre, that starts to feel a little bit too repetitive these days. Although it's not based on a popular intellectual property, it does offer a story full of mystery and some interesting characters.

Hot Wheels Unleashed is one of the most entertaining racing games of the year and a love letter to fans of this franchise. Without a doubt, an unmissable entry.

It is a very robust video game and, without a doubt, one of the best two-wheeled simulators in the history of entertainment, but it is a reality that it is not a product aimed at the general public, since its level of realism and simulation can be an obstacle for casual gamers who prefer to opt for a more arcade alternative like Forza Horizon, to receive immediate fun in return without having to fully immerse themselves in multiple customization options that require a lot of patience, dedication and above all, predilection.

If you've never given the original game a chance, now's the time to jump into the most frenetic battles in the iconic garden. While it's not perfect, it at least delivers on the entertainment factor.

Classic Atelier gameplay from the PlayStation 3 version with extra missions, extra bosses and more than 50 hours of pure strategic fun.

The amount of great ideas one can see in WarioWare: Move It! It's totally overwhelming. On more than one occasion I had to stop for a moment to think how someone could have come up with something as brilliantly fun as putting you in a chicken position in a micro game about filling cavities. Entering the new adventure of Wario and company is like entering a candy store on another planet where everything has color and as soon as you try it, a huge smile appears on your face because of the way it surprises you. Of course, the product is not perfect because of the way in which it could have proposed something new at a structural level, but undoubtedly, its virtues far outweigh its defects, making it another very easy game to recommend to anyone. It's crazy how many great titles can only be enjoyed on Switch.

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath brings a whole lot of content to an already massive fighting game, and makes it even better. A definite buy for the fans.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is a very deep experience full of great ideas. The way that Tokyo was build, combine perfectly with it's ghost story, open world and combat system.

It could be named as an interactive book. If you have read the novel, then it might be of your interest. Otherwise it could bore you. It has a slow gameplay and little action, but it has a compelling story that makes you care about the characters and their future.

Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth is a great way to end one incredible and complex story like this one; it's guaranteed that fans will enjoy it the most. That being said, the game doesn't offer anything different from what we have seen in the past entries and still makes mistakes. Also, this is an aggressive game for newcomers.

The Switch version of I am Setsuna looks good and feels great. It might be only 30FPS but that doesn't affect the overall experience. If you enjoyed the JRPGs from the 90s, you should not let it pass.

Concrete Genie is a gorgeous game that will fulfill your eyes, but it fell short in terms of gameplay mechanics.

Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is a great JRPG with a very eye-catching visual style. The experience is full of quality, and it is a good introduction to Yoko Taro's creative mind.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered brings an old classic back with some quality of life improvementes, but the "remastered" side falls a little bit too short.

Just as it happens in the HBO series of Game of Thrones, the first season of the game ends with lots of action, tough choices, unexpected situations and a huge cliffhanger for the next season where the path that you took will have consequences.

Despite its technical errors and questionable changes in the design of the game, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number preserves the mechanics that made the first title an unforgettable experience full of difficult challenges and frustration. It's more of the same, those who loved the first title will surely enjoy this sequel.

Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition offers us a spectacular remastering. New content for the campaign and visual improvements make this title an unmissable installment for RTS fans.

No More Heroes III is the best installment in the franchise and an extremely fun experience.

The Consequence finishes with great narrative resources to the story of The Evil Within. Presenting a more action oriented gameplay than The Assignment, this DLC is a must play for everyone who enjoyed the main game.

While some of the improvements and changes that Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army introduces to its gameplay make combat simpler than it should be, leaving aside some of the characteristic elements of the original installment and the Megami Tensei series, it is also true that many of its changes are positive, since they make the experience more accessible to today's audiences.
