The Croc remaster is nothing short of an ode to the golden era of 3D platformers. With its focus on nostalgia and revamped visuals, it’s sure to evoke warm memories for longtime fans. That said, a bit of patience is required to navigate some of the old-school quirks in its platforming design.

It's easy to learn, hard to master, addictive and beautiful. Simply put, it's one of the best buys a PSVita owner could make.

Elex II, as with all PB games, bites more that it can chew. Frustrating AI, clunky-janky gameplay and an engine that’s now a bit too old for wear are definite issues here, and the last 1/3 of the game feels like an afterthought. For fans of PB and western RPGs though, there is still a lot to love and enjoy in the second part of Jax’s story and in the wonderful world of Magalan.

By taking a slightly faster, more "Call of Duty" approach, Hardline might alienate the devoted Battlefield gamer. And on top of that, the campaign is quite disappointing. On the other hand the gameplay works and will offer some great FPS/ online hours of gaming.

It's charming, unique in many ways and ideal for co-op play, but Puppeteer fails to take a step further and become a truly memorable platformer.

Α solid conclusion to a refreshing franchise that will show its full potentional after all the correcting patches and the DLCs become available.

343 and Creative Assembly build the new chapter of the Halo Wars Saga on a stable basis and the multiplayer is enjoyable. However the short main campaign and the confined scope of the story don't let the game breath.

An attempted effort to improve a game that does not meet the quality standards the first six games of the Layton series have set. While it tries to follow the footsteps of its predecessors, Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy fails in providing a compelling story, memorable characters and emotional peaks. The new adventure seems to be targeting a new audience, meaning that some of the old fans might opt out while they wait for Kat to really follow her father’s footsteps and find her proper place in the genre.

If you want your western RPG games full of text and lots of reading, Tides of Numenera will deliver. It has a very well written script, interesting quests and a rich world to explore, but lacks in the battle system and its technology.

An RTS game made exclusively for hardcore PC gamers. It's beautifully crafted, but too damn hard! You have been warned.

By fusing the design and feel of Most Wanted and Underground, Ghost Games created a game that is by all means better than Payback, but is still struggling to find its place in the market. And with the competition now -in the form of Forza Horizon 4- galloping, Ghost Games must surely up their game with their new project.

Lego Horizon Adventures is another entertaining addition to the long list of Lego video games. It captures the essence of the Horizon series with the humour and creativity we've come to expect from these adaptations. However, its short length and uninspired boss fights are drawbacks that impact an otherwise enjoyable experience.

A true renaissance for this Nintendo's franchise. The new modes will up the challenge and you'll have a good time, especially if you invite your friends over to your house. Too bad there's no online mode.

Dreamscaper doesn’t offer a compelling connection between the dream battles and the difficulty that the introvert Cassidy has in fitting in the big city. Nevertheless, where it truly matters, i.e. the combat and randomization of items/ levels, the quality is high enough to convince us to return again and again to its challenging but fair dungeons.

A unique RPG with charming art direction and very interesting combat and story that suffers from intense repetition of its missions.

If you're a fan of the Worms franchise, Flockers will deliver many hours of the same beloved gameplay along with lots of laughs.

It's pretty much the same game over and over again, but we can't help but love the fact that with every new King's Bounty installment we're having a great time.

Space out one of the voice actors, and Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock is quite the atmospheric experience, with an interesting (albeit cut-short story), detailed visuals and pleasant flow in its gameplay.

If it were released as a "mega expansion pack" Saints Row IV would have been a "must buy". As it is it can only be recommended to die-hard fans of the franchise.

Ghostwire Tokyo has some weaknesses, but with its fun to play combat and the beautiful presentation of Shibuya and its “visitors”, it will definitely pique your interest.

Elden Ring: Nightreign ends up being a roguelike spin-off variation on FromSoftware’s usual Soulslike formula. It's certainly weighed down by excessive repetition and a persistent sense of déjà vu after just a few hours. However, the action comes alive when a proper three-person team enters the map, with co-op play creating memorably tense battles driven by collaboration.

It's not the best LEGO that ever came out of Tt Games' toybox, but it's definitely tons of fun.

The very short "campaign" mode of this NFS is balanced by the wealth of extras and the enjoyable gameplay.

We are still waiting for the "Gran Turismo of motorcycles", but that doesn't mean that RIDE cannot offer some realistic and enjoyable hours of simulated riding.

White Knight Chronicles 2 has some improvements over the first game, but cannot get away from mistakes that have a negative impact on the overall experience. Nevertheless, the fact that it includes the entire White Knight Chronicles 1, makes for a decent package.

The very short "campaign" mode of this NFS is balanced by the wealth of extras and the enjoyable gameplay.

If you are keen on board games, then this digital version of the Witcher board game is a great opportunity to learn about the world of this franchise and to enjoy some great multiplayer matches.

The developers of Tails of Iron 2 certainly played it safe with the sequel. The additions, such as the hook, feel underdeveloped, and overall, it could simply be described as ‘more of the same.’ Nevertheless, anyone who enjoyed battling the frogs will likely have a good time fighting the army of bats, as the game still offers tight combat and a well-balanced challenge.

The boss fights might drag on a bit more than they should. Nevertheless, the battles are well crafted, offering high challenge but fair. Kudos to the deep progression system, with myriad of options that begs to be implemented in a more extended game.

Avowed is not the juggernaut RPG some may have expected, as certain crucial aspects fail to rise above mediocrity, such as the writing in many side quests and the rather derivative character design. Be that as it may, Obsidian's talent in the genre still shines through in its rich world-building, clever level design, and fun combat system, though against large groups of foes, it can feel a bit too chaotic for our tastes.

A mysterious fruit of a game, Nemezis is certainly an interesting experience as a mechanical puzzle game, despite its poor voice acting and average writing. The fact that it pivots more towards strictly mechanical/ brute force puzzles than its predecessors might put off fans of the series, but it can attract fans of that type of puzzles with equal ease.

Snipperclips does everything a launch title ought to do correctly, but as much as you enjoyed it you can’t overlook that a few years back this game would have come free with a console bundle.

The PS4 edition of Dead Nation has some visual improvements over the original, but the highlight here is, without a doubt, the Broadcast+ mode.

It's a decent poker game with characters from beloved franchises. There's really nothing more you need to know.

As an ending to a wonderfully developed trilogy, Goodbye Deponia has some great moments, but also some points that will disappoint.

This version of the surreal 3D point and click adventure game that originates from mobile phones, offers updated visuals, more content and a unique world to explore.

World of Tanks is a fun, unique, free to play MMO that contains a huge number of different, real-life, models. However -at the moment- there is only one available mode and the fact that players who pay a fee, have an advantage over the ones that prefer the "free model", has a negative impact on the overall balance.

It's a classic and beloved game that kick-started the survival horror genre. Even though it looks quite dated on the iOS, the original Alone in the Dark is a game every fan of horror games should try.

Caravan SandWitch could be described as a pocket-sized, peaceful open-world that offers a zen-like experience with enjoyable exploration. However, it could benefit from stronger relationships building to really capture some emotionally charged scenes towards its finale.

Evotiction came out of nowhere to deliver a pure stealth experience, a genre that has almost faded. While it may be a bit on the shorter side, its well-designed gameplay mechanics make it stand out.

New Dawn retains all the good elements from Far Cry 5 -like the intense gunplay, the beautiful graphics and the massive open world- and tries to implement new ideas with its "Light RPG" mechanics. And while some of the new ideas really work, you can't help but get the feeling that you've seen and done everything before, but this time you’re doing them in a "post-apocalyptic" world that feels uninspired and bland.

Red Faction: Armageddon is "digital playground" with some amazing toys, like the Magnet Gun and the Nano Forge abilities. There is no "open world" gameplay this time around, but the new, linear environments make this 10-hour long Campaign much more interesting. On the downside, there is no competitive Multiplayer and the survival-like mode, called "Infestation", won't provide enough online hours.

Sakuna of Rice and Ruin narrates a wonderful fairytale of Japanese mythology, which is unfortunately plagued by pacing problems that arise from the intense repetition of exploration.

An interesting and highly artistic walking simulator with beautiful images and thoughts on philosophical matters despite the lack of gaming mechanics.

A funny and colorful sci-fi adventure that lasts 10 to 15 hours, with an interesting planet full of places, enemies and secrets to explore. Although combat is nothing to write home about and the humor might not appeal to everyone, Journey to the Savage Planet still deserves your time.

The organizing as well as the development of a competitive F1 team that houses a large number of people has been rendered almost flawlessly. But technical problems during a race and lots of bugs pulled the brake on our hopes for something even better.

A classic game that few modern gamers know. You should take a look at it -especially if you're going to purchase Kid Icarus Uprsising- just to see how everything began.

Death Howl does the unthinkable by delivering a deckbuilder that isn’t a roguelike, and mostly succeeds. Its atmospheric, fantasy-infused Neolithic setting and beautiful retro visuals are paired with a well-crafted, card-based combat system. Unfortunately, excessive grinding and uneven difficulty in tougher battles can make victory feel overly dependent on RNG.

Α good choice for those who are looking for a fast paced, easy to pick up action-RPG game with charming visuals.

Even though it's not the renaissance many were expecting, Reckoning is a decent addition to the genre which will keep fans of western RPGs occupied for many hours.

Gameplay is virtually non-existent in Goodnight Universe, with overly simplistic puzzles that drag down the experience. Nevertheless, its story is touching and supported by solid voice acting. It’s commendable how effectively the developers convey the world through the perspective of an infant child.

Yes, it's better than Final Fantasy XIII, but the legendary franchise needs more than that. Fans of FFXIII will probably be happy with this one, but older gamers will be disappointed.

When Tetris meets modern music this is what you get. It's not suitable for everyone, but a few unique gaming hours are guaranteed.

A lovely little indie game that offers high challenge, but falls short on its content.

An online FPS with a "DC Comics" twist. If you're looking for a simple, enjoyable and with tons of character shooter, this is your best bet.

As an “interactive experience” Batman Arkham VR offers some great visuals and full immersion inside the world of the Dark Knight, but we can’t overlook the fact that it is an extremely short game with little to no replay value.

The new adventure of Shank manages to fix and greatly improve some of the gameplay mechanics, providing an immensely satisfying combat system. We hope that a possible sequel will also see improvements in the platforming sections along with a greater variety in enemy types.

It’s another Far Cry game that follows almost to the letter the tropes of the franchise with only slight deviations. The usual suspects are here: immensely satisfying gunplay, beautiful world, a smooth experience, forgettable characters, an extremely dull and forgettable story and a predictable mission structure.

A "showcase game" that was created in order to advertise PSVita's technology. With a right price tag and some truly funny and enjoyable mini-games it's a safe bet for a day-one purchase.

Some of its ideas work and others don't, but Binary Domain can really offer some solid third-person shooting hours.

A welcoming remaster that offers fun platforming and well-realized voice-overs. It may not leave a lasting mark on the genre, but it will certainly keep fans entertained.

One of the most obscure games we've ever seen. It's not a platformer and it's not an adventure game, but it combines elements of these two genres in a spectacular way. If it wasn't for the -sometimes- extreme difficulty and some poor design, Catherine would have been a must-have.

Another year, another edition of EA Sports FC, offering some predictable improvements but little in the way of true evolution. The gameplay remains addictive and the overall production quality is high, but once again, defensive play feels sacrificed in favor of "thrilling" attacks and high-scoring matches, all while the aggressively monetized system returns in full force.

World of Final Fantasy is a beautiful game full of nostalgia, but it tries to do several things at once, making it evident that its creators had no idea how to make it appealing to the audience.

It looks - and sometimes feels - like a free-to-play game, but look beneath that layer and you will find a decent tactics/ strategy game that is ideal for anyone who loved the TV series.

It might get repetitive and sometimes the controls do not work as they should, but overall this iteration of Scribblenauts can offer many hours of great family entertainment with lots of clever mini-games and a decent sandbox mode.

Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 is a decent game that may become a nice starting point for beginners. However, the most loyal fans of cards games will be annoyed by the limited customization capabilities of the decks.

The "original sin" of The Order: 1886 is that it never manages to open up and share its wonderful world with the player.

Cognition Ep 3 is smaller, easier and more linear than its predecessors, a point that shows the problems of episodic gaming. Thank God it manages to overcome these problems with its brilliant storytelling, intriguing twists and great new gameplay additions.

Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 is a decent game that may become a nice starting point for beginners. However, the most loyal fans of cards games will be annoyed by the limited customization capabilities of the decks.

It’s hard not to be taken in by the allure of driving a train through infinite space. Maintaining, expanding, and improving your locomotive never gets old, especially as the rails unfurl into the cosmos. Voidtrain can certainly hook you with its premise and well-made crafting systems. However, it’s held back by repetition in everything outside the train, from the overly similar station layouts to the one-note arenas. A diamond in the rough, then, but one that’s still worth the ticket price for fans of the genre.

Robinson: The Journey offers the best graphics we’ve seen to date in PSVR and a beautiful world to explore. If it was a bit longer and had some replay value this could gave been a must-have.

The excellent handling and the immense realism that Battle of Stalingrad offers, manages to balance out the poor single player campaign and some of its design flaws.

If you are a League of Legends fan there is nothing here you haven't seen before. On the other hand, if you want to see what the fuss is about MOBA games, call some good friends and enjoy the thrilling competition that Guardians of Middle Earth can offer.

If you've missed the "Create your own Adventure" books of the 1980s, then you should definitely give Joe Dever's Lone Wolf a try.

The first non-Japanese-developed Ridge Racer borrows heavily from games like Burnout and Need for Speed to deliver an enjoyable and full-of-adrenaline racing experience. It's not the best racer out there, but it can be fun!

The experience here is exactly the same as the one from the 3DS edition -which is good- and the story is essential for those who wish to follow the lore from the Lords of Shadow franchise.

A heated dish, like all remastered games are, with all its interesting condiments now displeasing instead of exciting the patron, but with its main part still being juicy and tasty. A game with a core able to attract all fans of the action-adventure genre, but with many technical flaws. Is such a remaster truly an improvement upon the image of the franchise or beneficial to those who have not yet… tasted it? It is up to you to decide.

If you enjoy music&rhythm platformers, then Beatbuddy will offer you more than 5 hours of gaming in a sea of electronic music.

A Naruto game designed mostly for online battles and that's because the single player mode is not as polished or as big as in previous installments of the franchise.

Dollmare is effective in its horror atmosphere, with its short duration working in its favour by keeping the simplistic, repetitive arcade gameplay fun. The factory setting also benefits from the brief length, retaining its effectiveness as the game ends before it becomes tiring.

VirtuaVerse is a cyberpunk point & click adventure set in a future not so far away, narrating tales of technomancers, AVR graffiti writers, hacker groups, tribes of cryptoshamans, digital archeology, epic cyberwars and virtual reality debauchery.

Gamers that need a clear goal in a game will do well to avoid Terraria. If on the other hand you like meticulous searching, deep crafting, exploration, surprises and totally open-ended gameplay, Terraria is a game that can keep you in front of your screen for days, weeks, months.

Dishwasher: Vampire Smile is a nice 2D, side scrolling beat 'em up that stands out for its art direction and sharp controls. Unfortunately, its repetitive nature has a negative impact on the overall experience.

An unexpectedly nice game for the launch line up of the PSVR, Headmaster manages to take the weird premise of a football headers game and enrich it with clever, challenging puzzles and rich, guilt free humor. 

While some elements, like the story and the boss fights, will definitely appeal to fans of the franchise, major step backs, like the low difficulty, the poor pacing due to the overload of cut-scenes and the uninteresting side quests keep Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 from being the next big hit by CyberConnect2.

Considering that Darq is the work of –mainly- one person without prior knowledge in game development, it is nothing less than a highly commendable achievement. The dreamy aesthetic with the black and white filter is quite eye-catching and the perspective manipulation never stops to be enjoyable. If only it was just a little bit longer…

A game that sticks to its roots, for better or for worse. It could be entertaining to the max for fans, but probably won't succeed in pulling in a new audience.

Fallout 4 leans to the Shooting side of things. It strips down the gameplay from the actual RPG elements and offers a meta-nuclaer shooting gallery which of course keep its charm and gameplay wealth but also feels a little too friendly for the new comers. The Base builder mode is unnecessary, boring and irritating. Unfortunately, overall, there are no steps forward for this Nuclear Holocaust Behemoth of the video games industry. Only steps sideways.

Monumental Games tried to create a game that would surpass the problematic 09/10 edition, and what they managed to do was to offer a slightly enhanced version, but with many issues, like dated graphics and poor AI. Still, the rich campaign mode and the promise of the future donwloadable 2011 season make MotoGP 10/11 an interesting addition to the genre.

Luto is certainly a worthwhile horror game that builds tension through atmosphere rather than cheap jump scares. However, its fourth-wall-breaking moments start out intriguing but become overused by the end, ultimately proving to be its Achilles’ heel.

Gauntlet is a dungeon crawling/ hack 'n' slash game that revisits the 80’s Arcade all-time classic, offering immerse co-op fun and using distinctive gameplay mechanics for each of the four available classes/ characters.

A game that sticks to its roots, for better or for worse. It could be entertaining to the max for fans, but probably won't succeed in pulling in a new audience.

Having the control of an A.I., inspired by HAL amongst others, is a novel idea, and completely in sync with the claustrophobic environment of the Observation. The mystery as well builds up quite well. Unfortunately, a less than satisfying ending, some quite disorienting free-moving sections and some vague objectives that will leave you scratching your head about what to do next diminish the experience.

With each iteration in the franchise Milestone goes a step further and even closer to perfection. Not that MotoGP 19 is perfect, far from that, due to the poor A.I. and some dated graphics, but it is indeed the best MotoGP game that we've seen from the Milanese developers to date.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers features impressive level design and a responsive, satisfying combat system, making it a solid experience for fans of the Soulslike genre. However, it’s held back by a lack of innovation and low enemy variety, which leads to a sense of repetition over time.

Clearly inspired by the work of Terry Gilliam, Rock of Ages can offer addictive and full with over-the-top humor gameplay, even though it can get repetitive quite soon.
