Warhammer 40,000 is without a doubt an enjoyable game. The epic scale of the universe is greatly captured offering moments of fun as you try to survive the enemy onslaught. However, the one-note combat system and the limited enemy variety can't help but lead to a sense of repetition halfway the campaign.

Pokémon Sword & Shield brings the traditional Pokémon recipe from handhelds straight to our TVs. The new games offer plenty QoL improvements that shake up the experience and provide a fresh touch in experiencing Pokémon gameplay in the best region the series has offered so far. However, there are also lots of things The Pokémon Company needs to consider in order to improve the experience and keep offering quality titles in the future.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe makes its debut to the Nintendo Switch, after almost 6 years of slumber on the Wii U. The game is, without a doubt, a thrilling platformer that manages to blend a cast of loving 3D characters into stunning 2D levels, yet fails to deliver enough additional content to justify the word “deluxe” in its name.

Torna – The Golden Country is here to complete a journey that started ten months ago. It is the tragic tale of a continent, its people and its heroes that fills up all the empty spaces of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 lore and gives us a full perspective of Alrest and everything on it. With many improvements and interesting additions, even if some of them might not be totally welcome, the Torna expansion pack is set to satisfy even some of the most demanding players out there who lust for quality RPG tales.

Another hit from Level-5, Fantasy Life i stays true to its cosy roots while introducing plenty of new ideas and improvements. The result is a relaxing experience that also manages to challenge you creatively.

This year we got a Call of Duty with an impressive single player campaign - that offers tight and immense fights for about 6 hours - along with a wealth of multiplayer modes for literally every taste. Too bad, though, that Infinity Ward tried to keep everyone satisfied thus changing the DNA of the multiplayer mode with mixed to negative results.

Assetto Corsa Competizione will not win you over with its content, but with the unique way it manages to fit the real felling of driving a racing car to the limit inside the narrow frame of a videogame.

It may not be as grand and impressive as God of War III was back in 2010, but Ascension delivers a solid God of War single player experience along with an interesting multiplayer mode to try with your friends.

Not much to do in the single player modes, but online these special fighting games by Capcom really shine.

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

Three great platformers for the price of one. If you own a PS Vita, you really shouldn't miss this one.

While this expansion pack is for multiplayer use only and could have benefited from some more content, the new maps and units are great and continue the legacy of Company of Heroes 2.

NBA 2K21 sure has that "next-gen feel", but that's as far as it gets. There are updated, certainly not revolutionary, visuals, and some serious new content that puts last-gen versions -and it's pricing - to shame, but the first next-gen NBA 2K feels like a fastbreak that results in a casual layup, not a dunk.

The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy gives PS4 owners the unique chance to experience the first days of rookie attorney Phoenix Wright, on his path to Justice, via his own Trials and Tribulations. A trilogy of three amazing titles, with 14 well-developed cases and with an amazing cast of characters, is an early Easter gift to fans of good interactive novels. Players who have never experienced an Ace Attorney game within the previous 20 years, are sure to experience great storytelling within an even greater context; still, it might prove to be a chore for players who have experienced themselves with the games, one way or another.

Another solid addition to the Pokemon franchise that will definitely please the fans of the series.

Pokémon Sword & Shield brings the traditional Pokémon recipe from handhelds straight to our TVs. The new games offer plenty QoL improvements that shake up the experience and provide a fresh touch in experiencing Pokémon gameplay in the best region the series has offered so far. However, there are also lots of things The Pokémon Company needs to consider in order to improve the experience and keep offering quality titles in the future.

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.

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.

Persona 3 Portable's remaster is a huge opportunity for those who wanted to deal with this game, however its age -and everything that comes with it- will be a problem for those who can't stand the game design of a bygone era.

Neon Inferno could have been a pleasant discovery in a 90s arcade booth. Its standout feature, allowing players to shoot both on the 2D plane and into the background, gives the game a much-needed sense of personality, elevating a bit an otherwise fairly ordinary (though certainly decent) run-’n’-gun experience.

The Last Train Home delivers a unique RTS experience, even if not without some issues with its A.I. and UI. Thankfully, the well-made combination of strategy with survival aspects and the well-written story more than overcome these issues.

The Switch port is a technological wonder, but the lower (but stable) framerate hurts the overall experience.

Dishonored remains one of the best stealth games of the last generation. The main story along with the inclusion of all of the add-ons can offer up to 30 hours of utterly satisfying gameplay. Combined with the improved visuals, the city of Dunwall deserves everyone’s attention.

After the two mediocre True Crime games, we had abandoned all hope for a good project by United Front Games. Sleeping Dogs proved us wrong. It's a great, open world game, with beautiful graphics, engaging gameplay and one of the most interesting stories this genre has to offer.

Remnant 2 follows its predecessor to the letter albeit by improving every single aspect. It doesn't really need to innovate the genre, thanks to its utterly satisfying gunplay, myriads of secrets, excellent replayability and a diverse set of levels, enemies and bosses.

With its superb graphics, interesting -albeit difficult to follow for the uninitiated- story and intense multiplayer, Ace Combat 7 is a return to shape for Namco's long running franchise. There are some cons here, like the too few VR missions and the quite poor AI, but overall this is a great arcade flight sim.

With enough updates to keep you going for the next year, superb graphics and the ability to import your saves from the previous versions, The Show 15 probably is the best baseball game out there.

It may not be the reinvention of the wheel its predecessor offered and it may have some ambiguous gameplay design choices, but Company of Heroes 2 is every bit as great as the previous installment and some of its amazing improvements offer a spectacular strategy game.

Simply put this is a superb remake of three of the most beloved platformers of the 90s and of the PlayStation One era. Vicarious Visions treated the original games with respect and offered a collection that will skyrocket your nostalgia.

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

Odallus manages to capture the 8-bit feeling of early Castlevania games, without resorting in simple copy-paste techniques. On the other hand it could be benefited from more stages and a more firm decision over how difficult or easy it wants to be.

Samorost 3 is the fruitful culmination of a 13 year old journey by Amanita design. And it is an absolute masterpiece by any standards.

Mega Man Zero/ ZX Legacy collection is a must for all fans of the franchise. Boasting a complete reproduction of all six games, along with tons of content and the addition of save-assist and casual modes, it may even attract newcomers. That is if they can ever become able to sidestep the musky feel of the nigh twenty-year-old gameplay.

Neo the World Ends With You is a game that takes elements from the original game and manages to evolve them in the best possible way.

After Shredder’s Revenge, Dotemu returns with another loving ode to classic beat ’em ups. Marvel: Cosmic Invasion features an excellent roster of both beloved and obscure Marvel characters, backed by a satisfying and richly designed combat system. It doesn’t exactly tread new ground for the genre, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that this is yet another strong entry in the ongoing renaissance of classic beat ’em ups.

Yo-Kai Watch 3, being the definitive edition of two Japan-only superb games, is here to remind us why the series is still alive on the Nintendo 3DS, how much it has evolved over the years and why gamers and fans alike should wait for the next installment on Nintendo’s newest platform. With a more developed and better approachable battle system, two big cities to explore, two stories to play through and even more Yo-Kai to battle and add to your Medallium, this new adventure promises tons of fun gameplay.

Still the high point of the "Tales Of" series, Tales of Xillia returns with improved resolution, smoother performance, and smart quality-of-life enhancements, making this remaster the definitive way to experience a classic JRPG.

Although bigger doesn’t always mean better, Gravity Rush 2 is both in every possible way.

Pokémon Sword & Shield brings the traditional Pokémon recipe from handhelds straight to our TVs. The new games offer plenty QoL improvements that shake up the experience and provide a fresh touch in experiencing Pokémon gameplay in the best region the series has offered so far. However, there are also lots of things The Pokémon Company needs to consider in order to improve the experience and keep offering quality titles in the future.

The Artful Escape definitely belongs to one of these games that appear almost out of nowhere, just to make us happy and blessed to try out. While not a title for platformer aficionados and those who crave for something challenging, The Artful Escape ends up being a pleasant surprise, and one that will stay within for long.

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.

The combination of the RTS and action RPG elements into a new, hybrid game work beautifully here, making this the most successful (so far) iteration of the experiment Relic began with DoW II. It wonʼt appeal to hardcore strategy enthusiasts, but then itʼs not trying to.

Konami still hasn't "struck gold" in this generation. Although the developers tried to improve some aspects of this year's edition, it's only after the inevitable patch that some of the major problems are dealt with.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves marks a triumphant return for the legendary fighting series. Its deep combat system may be intimidating for newcomers, but mastering its intricacies is immensely rewarding, especially in the well-developed online arenas.

Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy is an excellent remake of a classic from the golden age of adventure games. Its beautiful visuals and freeform gameplay elevate the experience, updating it to modern standards. Older gamers will get their nostalgia fix, while newcomers have a great opportunity to discover one of the genre’s finest titles.

Once more, Tarsier proves it knows how to craft a horror setting that feels torn from the darkest corners of a child’s imagination. Compared to the Little Nightmares games, Reanimal features a far more dynamic camera that heightens tension and amplifies its intense chases and moments of awe. However, these striking set pieces are the exception in an experience that remains largely reminiscent of the studio’s previous work. As a result, Reanimal stands as a satisfying new entry, but one that ultimately plays things a little too safe.

The graphics are on par with the home consoles, the same goes for the content, and PS3 users can have some interesting interaction if they have both versions of the game. All in all, a great addition to Vita's library.

Even though some problems of the original version have been addressed, some new have emerged -like the camera issues. Nevertheless this edition is superior in almost every aspect and opens up its deep and finely crafted world to a much bigger audience.

Despite a few technical shortcoming, due to its indie nature, Dungeons of Hinterberg is a great adventure game, with clever puzzles and a unique theme. It replaces ski-resort tourism with exploring-dungeons-full-of-goblins tourism. It simple works, offering a relaxing experience with highly enjoyable gameplay and beautiful cel-shaded environments.

Sakaguchi's latest is not a tribute to JRPGs of old, as many might have expected, but a bold new step for the genre. Although it's quite short and suffers from many cliches, Last Story is, without a doubt, one of the best games Japan has to offer in this generation.

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.

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.

INDIKA is a truly unique narrative game that delivers an excellently written, thought-provoking story about faith, a subject we very rarely see in the medium. Moreover, the almost surreal environmental design and action greatly enhance the whole experience.

Without doing anything particularly innovative or great, this adventure of the beloved Kirby is a quite good platformer, ideal for your summer vacation with your 3DS.

Mario Party Superstars comes to fill in the shoes of its mediocre predecessor by relying on successful mini-games throughout the series and gameplay mechanics that are tailored to suit players out and about. A beautiful recreation of classic game boards and a vast collection of classic mini-games, up to Mario Party 10, succeed in reminding us why the series has been a regular in Nintendo’s home consoles.

Grime 2 confidently treads familiar metroidvania ground, embracing tried-and-true mechanics. While it doesn’t introduce anything particularly groundbreaking, fans of the genre will appreciate its deep combat system and challenging platforming sections, all supported by responsive and smooth controls. The entire experience is elevated by the imagination behind its vibrant world.

It's a solid experience, with superb graphics and a truly stellar battle system. If the A.I. weren't so unbalanced Second Son would have been the best inFAMOUS game to date.

We are alone in a pixelated paradise, exploring a small island, in the middle of an endless sea. If you feel adventurous and don't mind the retro feeling, give it a try.

An exhilarating adventure-platform experience, Candle is an incredible start for Teku Studios. Incredible visuals, majestic world building and thoughtful puzzle design offers one of the best indie games we have seen in recent memory.

Ghostrunner 2 retains the fast paced action through the lenses of a cyberninja, keeping the adrenaline high, even if it has a certain "expansion" feeling. It will certainly offer an enjoyable new experience for fans of the first game, however, it could benefit from more risks in its core gameplay elements.

The developers of Lies of P can be proud of having created one of the best, if not the best, soulsborne game made by a non-FromSoftware studio. Be that as it may, we really hope that in their next game they will try creating a more unique aesthetic untethered from copying the visuals of Bloodborne to such an extent.

Turbo Kid is a fun metroidvania game and a welcome continuation of the cult film. It ticks all the right boxes of metroidvania design and incorporates the bike in a clever way. Alas, the behaviour of the enemies are extremely derivative and its pixel art is not the best we've seen.

Football Manager 15 once again offers a realistic approach in modern football but the messy AI and the clumsy match engine fail to deliver a flawless match- day experience. UI and scouting improvements are a step on the right direction, but the countless interviews and press conferences may tire the player.

A classic hero from an ever-popular franchise returns, revamped and better than ever on the Nintendo Switch. Players can experience the original game that was released two years ago with a new twist; a co-op multiplayer mode that is designed to offer hours of fun and entertainment among friends and family members as well.

Card Shark is an indie triumph. A game so original and unique as an idea, and at the same time, so well orchestrated in all the small parts that make a good game, great.

The most essential feature in this kind of games is the creation of a solid cornerstone on which the game will grow and prosper in the coming months (or years maybe). Somehow The Division manages to create this cornerstone though it leaves a lot to be desired. On the other hand, the developers need to decide what to do with Dark Zone because clearly they have not until now. In the positive’s area the fact that even gamers with no MMO experience at all can enjoy most of the game (essentially with some company).

Axiom Verge is an excellent tribute to the first 2D Metroid games. With an enormous map, constant supply of new skills, and a breadth of secret locations this game is a must for anyone that searches for the next good metroidvania game.

Staying true to its genre Elite Dangerous provides a great sense of freedom in a universe where the player’s choices dictate his progression in the game. It may take some time to get accustomed to the controls and the general functions of the game but once you get the hang of it you’ll experience something unique. It is unfortunate that the experience is held back by an extremely poor tutorial and constant disconnects.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is nothing if not humorous, delivering abundant fun through its charming, colorful visuals and clever gadgets. While it leans a bit too much on open-world-map-cleaning mentality, it’s hard not to feel like a kid in a sci-fi kindergarten while playing.

Gravity Rush might not be perfect, but it’s still a beautiful game full of enjoyment that had to fight it’s way up to the big league. The remastered edition doesn’t justify the purchase for someone who already played it on the PS Vita, but it surely is a treat for the eyes.

While Attila has most of the issues that accompanied Rome 2, it manages to stand on its own with some nice all around improvements and a strong, exciting campaign story in a brand new historical era for the Total War series.

Shadow of War is an inconsistent mess of repetitive gameplay, really bad implemented fighting system, gameplay exploits and an indifferent and lacking respect for the original material story. The presentation is reminiscent of the 360 era and hastiness is a common feature for every aspect of the game.

An interesting addition to the world of Yakuza games, Judgement offers an entertaining adventure with an intriguing (albeit slow to start) story and exceptionally written characters, this time from the side of the law rather than that of the criminals. If only we could seriously remake all those pesky tailing and investigating ultra simple mechanisms and bring back the voice acting for the side stories.

Keeper is an undeniably beautiful game, if nothing else. Its focus on detailed, distinctive environments is remarkable, and its unexpected duo of protagonists proves surprisingly charming. It could benefit from deeper gameplay, as it leans a bit too heavily on simplicity. Be that as it may, its unique journey remains a truly memorable experience.

Forza 5 has that "next-gen" feeling written all over it, but still seems a bit rushed and definitely smaller than the previous game. If you can overcome the infamous "microtransactions" it's sure you will enjoy a perfectly balanced racer.

The beautiful platformer from Japan Studio hasn’t lost an ounce of its charm, and in PS4, with the enhanced resolution, it looks and feels better than ever.

Another cleverly crafted and quite beautiful game by Tobias Bilgeri. This time it's Love and Hate that will have to do all the puzzle solving and platforming and we're more than happy to help them on their quest.

Probably the best football (or... soccer, if you live in the U.S.) game we ever tried on a handheld system.

Atelier Dusk Trilogy -and generally the Atelier series- mostly relates to an audience that does not seek a major challenge or important stories and plots with memorable characters, since the only thing it offers is an experience that thrives through harvest and crafting.

Conventional gaming in VR done right in a system seller fashion. Dust your Aim Controllers cause you're in for a treat.

Poor loot and some technical issues aside, Respawn has managed the impossible. In an era full of divisiveness and frustration around the recent Star Wars movies and games, Fallen Order is hands-down the best Star Wars experience since Lucasfilm got sold to Disney and everything changed. It is a great start for what could become an amazing series and we sincerely hope we can see more of this in the future.

A roguelike game with tower defense characteristics that is possible to keep you entertained and on the edge for many hours before you manage to succeed in all the 12 floors/dungeons. Consider the beautiful pixel art esthetic a significant bonus to the whole experience.

Little Nightmares II is an important step up for Tarsier Studios. They maintain the nightmarish horror and the whole aesthetic of the first game, but with a much welcomed extended length, improved visuals and in general even more emphasis on the creepiness of the environments and excellently horrid enemies.

Dead or Alive Dimensions is a decent fighting game with a control scheme perfectly designed for the Nintendo 3DS. Nice pacing and fun gameplay make Tecmos latest a good choice for fans of the genre, although both offline and online content is quite limited.

It may be bold, but the “Sanitarium in Space” concept works. And it works quite well.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is the living proof of how a port of an aged title can redefine itself and can further be improved for the sake of releasing it on a new platform. The Nintendo Switch version has it all; the same haunting and emotionally painful story, visuals and audio that keep the players investing more and more of themselves, plus a new mode that finally enables two players to sit back and enjoy the tale of these two brothers.

Conscript may not be in the same league with Singalis, nevertheless, it's a great survival horror experience with well-executed retro vibes. Kudos to its solo developer for excluding any paranormal events or monsters, relying entirely on the actual WW1 horror derived from surviving in the trenches.

Vermintide is actually a worthy successor to Left 4 Dead. If you can find some good friends online, just try the co-op mode and have fun. Just don't try it on your own with the help of the A.I.

Ubisoft makes a good attempt to continue the legend of Obsidian, with some good gameplay improvements and nailing down the spirit of the show. The uneven pace of the story though, together with a half-baked crafting system and low quality filler type quests, keep the game from reaching the heights of its predecessor.

TT Games offered what is, probably, the best LEGO game to date. Tons of stuff to do, great humor and a superb co-op mode will keep you company all through the summer.

Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn helps players remember the elements that let them enjoy the title back in 2010, and gives the opportunity to new players to experience the joy of playing in a woolen world. The game is a mix of traditional and modern gameplay innovations that have been encountered in the Kirby series all over the years, and manages to be fun, but ultimately fails in persuading players to spend hours on it. The final Kirby adventure on the 3DS is a reminder that, sometimes, it’s wiser to invest on a new idea, rather that trying to revive an idea on a dying system, no matter how innovative it is.

Kirby’s Dream Land DX is what anybody would expect of a Nintendo remake: a combination of sleek, new content along with the recipe of the traditional game that made its mark back in the day. The addition of new modes and the four-player co-op are things that can be completely enjoyed by new players and can be a great incentive for old players to return. A memorable adventure, yet one that should pave the way for a brand-new adventure, starring Kirby, and can really push the series forward.

Even though the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise has no competition in the industry, it always delivers a remarkable golfing experience. And whilst the graphics engine is starting to show its age, the quality of the gameplay remains fresh and exciting.

The hand-drawn approach depicts some truly beautiful environments and characters of epic proportions. Unfortunately the battles with the giants, albeit very intense, are too few fostering a craving that is never really satisfied.

Probably the best Transformers game that came out since the PlayStation 2 title by Melbourne House.

When Pokemon meets Tekken, wild brawls are about to take place in the Ferrum region. A fun addition for the Nintendo Switch; might not be able to easily persuade old players to give it a try again, but can easily win the hearts of newcomers with a gameplay that is compelling, deep and addictive.

Robot Entertainment successfully combines tower defence mechanics with some action, but the repetition of the levels and the long waves of enemies make it rather tiring.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins marks a strong return for this historic series, with battles more epic than ever and a noticeably more concise narrative. If only the protagonist had more depth to truly carry his personal story.
