Bad Company 2 does not redefine the FPS genre but confirms the series as one of the most solid shooter experiences out there. The single player experience is not always convincing while multiplayer is dangerously addictive.

Left Behind is a stunning DLC. A little bit short, but still impressive, emotional and incredible. You'll be dragged into Ellie's past with a mix of crushing feelings you'll never forget. And yes, we're still speaking of "just" a videogame.

Far Cry 3 is an exceptional FPS with fun mechanics and excellent characterization. Unfortunately it wastes a fair number of opportunities offered by its huge open-world background. Plus, the secondary activities are not as fun as they could have been, and the island is too extensive to be interesting in the long run. Anyway, this game has surprised us.

Rift Apart in is the update that the Ratchet and Clank franchise needed. Insomniac has created an incredibly entertaining product, which never ceases to amuse. Unfortunately, a certain instability of the code (even after day one patch) prevents the game from reaching a higher score, but we feel confident that future updates will fix the code.

Thanks to an overwhelming campaign, long and with an excellent level design, the Doom Slayer shows the exaggerated ultraviolence we were expecting. The best production from id Software so far.

Rogue Legacy 2 is the perfect sequel of an already brilliant roguelite. It adds more depth and variety to a winning and enjoyable formula, exploring new ideas that were pretty absent in the preque. This time the game is both hard to master and easy to access: you don’t have to be a roguelite and metroidvania hardcore gamer to have a good time.

Shovel Knight is a heartfelt homage to the NES days, with tight gameplay, simple but effective 8bit-ish graphics and a killer soundtrack. It could use a couple of levels more and additional game modes.

As beautiful and engaging as the PS3 and Xbox 360 editions but, unfortunately, this version comes with a bitter drawback: the co-op mode is gone!

Bad Company 2 does not redefine the FPS genre but confirms the series as one of the most solid shooter experiences out there. The single player experience is not always convincing while multiplayer is dangerously addictive.

Torchlight II is not a game about innovation - it's an extremely well-crafted traditional hack'n'slash. With its very nice visuals and a virtually infinite replay value, the latest Runic's creation is the best alternative to Diablo III.

XCOM 2 is a hell of a sequel. It's better than Enemy Unknown in many ways and slightly different too, but in its core is still the same great experience.

Dishonored 2 is the example of a perfect sequel, a game which improves several flaws of the first title bringing to life a memorable experience. Arkane Studios managed to create a masterpiece, especially for whoever loves the stealth genre.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition is the best console edition of the popular Microsoft-owned digital title. PC is still ahead thanks to the support of an ever-growing community and its amazing mods but, considering the previous console experiences with smaller worlds and less performing graphics, Xbox One is the greatest choice you could make to kick-off your adventure in Minecraft.

More robotic creatures, a wider map, underwater missions and better graphics: Forbidden West is bigger and badder than Zero Dawn. Still, after five years the combat system is less appealing and the quality of life is no longer up to the standards. Guerrilla Games could have dared more, but the result is, anyway, worth your attention.

The Halo 3 porting is without any doubt the best of the Master Chief Collection to date, and the job done by 343 Industries is commendable. Although we could have hoped for a remake as happened with Halo 2, the developers have shown that despite the years, the third chapter of the first trilogy is still enjoyable. And with the improvements made, it's more beautiful than ever.

Pokémon X and Y are the best Pokémon versions ever made. The new 3D graphics are astounding and the nostalgia effect when playing many of the most famous first/second generation Pokémon is overwhelming. The ultimate evolution of the series, a new standard for every Pokémon game to come.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is a great game, despite not being as perfect as we could believe. The single player campaign presents some narrative solutions that make it boring sometimes , but on the other hand everything on the multiplayer side is pure gold! The new modes can provide a lot of fun and if you liked the previous CoD for the online, Black Ops will be your next divinity to adore.

Deathloop is a promising evolutive step for one of the greatest developers in the industry. Like every attempt to change it has some structural flaws but this inventive FPS/stealth deserves everybody's attention. A fascinating muder puzzle bond to a time loop.

Ori and the Blind Forest is a harsh and evil metroidvania concealed behind a pretty face. You’ll need to time your jump precisely, you’ll need to save at the right time, you’ll need quick reflexes, and you will swear. A lot.

Despite the lack of innovation, The Room Two is a solid puzzle game like its predecessor and another contender for the best mobile game of 2013.

Hearthstone is the best digital collectible card game around and an excellent “real” game as well, where the formula “easy to learn, difficult to master” really comes to life.

Metroid Dread is the final chapter of the journey started by Samus Aran on NES long ago. Developer MecurySteam has managed to create a game loyal to the series but full of new elements added to renew the gameplay. Being chased by E.M.M.I. is one of the most terrifying experiences you could ever feel in a videogame. It’s just a brilliant addiction. Exploring ZDR planet is a marvelous adventure: as you progress through the game, you will collect new powers and story elements. Metroid Dread feels like old and new at the same time: will please both fans of the series and new players. This game plays gorgeously on the new Switch OLED screen and is a must-have for every metroidvania addict.

Super Mario Maker 2 is just brilliant. It takes the best elements of previous games of the series and merges them, adding a huge series of new elements and games modes. The course editor is deeper than ever and there are a new single player story mode, new competitive and cooperative modes both local and online. This is just dope and you cannot stop playing this game.

High reactivity in every interaction, incredible fluidity in movements, a functional communication system and an excellent mix between a classic Battle Royale and a hero based system create a unique formula, able to bring a breath of fresh air to a genre that seemed to be already saturated.

Starcraft: Legacy of the Void lets the curtain fall on a story that has kept millions of players on their toes for years. The single player campaign is well designed, full of videos worthy of the best CG movies and also features an excellent orchestral soundtrack. As for multiplayer, innovation and brave choices mark the path, but only time will tell weather or not they will have a positive impact on the community.

After so many years, Diablo is back for good. Despite the initial connection issues and the visuals that do not set a new standard, this is still the best hack 'n' slash in town. Will it last 12 years as Diablo II? We don't know, but for sure we are going to play it for months.

Owlboy is a wonderful adventure in a dreamlike world. The games includes a lot of different mechanics that make impossible to classify it in a specific genre. The pixel art graphical style is just as amazing as the soundtrack. This game is unmissable for any player that wants to live an unforgettable adventure.

Content wise, the work done by Codemasters it’s brilliant, introducing a managerial mode on a solid racing game that will require great dedication to be exploited at his best.

Finally the Monster Hunter series lands on PC with an explosive version. Too bad for some minor bugs that compromise the final score.

The best arcade racer of the year and one of the best of all times: Criterion delivers what we want, an intensive and adrenalinic title that will run in your veins for a long time.

Nex Machina is a super fast top down shooter with an awesome sci-fi look. You can play it alone or with a friend, but only in local, on-line is not allowed. Just like in the '90 you can find in the game all the magic of the coin-op era, but you will need sharp reflexes to beat the robots.

Quotation forthcoming.

Charming, smart and deep, Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a must buy for Nintendo 3DS, and the best Animal Crossing to date.

Ghost of Tsushima arrives on PlayStation 5 with a beefy, mystique expansion, a promising multiplayer mode and a bunch of next-gen features... and confirms itself as one of the best samurai games ever made.

Quotation forthcoming.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is a love letter from Square Enix to its old and new fans. An excellent title in all its elements, an almost perfect work, full of details that confirm its chiseled realization.

Undead Nightmare is an awesome variant of the main story of Red Dead Redemption, that comes for a very cheap price (considering what it has to offer).

Astral Chain is a cyberpunk action-adventure game developed by Platinum Games for Nintendo Switch. This game takes the best ideas behind previous Platinum games and mixes them in a crafty way, injecting all of them in a new concept that links the player to a creature through a chain.

The single player experience is long and well done, but the real surprise is the new multiplayer mode. The Horde is the most intense and funny multiplayer mode in this game. No doubts about it.

Even if you're not a die hard fan of action shooters, it's unlikely that you will find a better refined and remarkably crafted PC version of a console game like this one.

Apart from a few smudges, everything works well. Spider-Man is more in shape than ever: he jumps, fights and lives an exciting story inside a world that is beautiful to see and perfectly directed. But it's a game that promised more than it could keep; betrayed, perhaps, by its great ambitions. And it's a pity that its strength, the magnificent New York reproduced in all its details, turns out to be at the same time the heaviest of its flaws. A crime, that Spider-man’s freedom is at the same time his punishment, because of the schematic and repetitive side quests.
