Even though this is by far the shortest "Tales" game, its superb battle system and good narrative promises a great journey through the world of Rieze Maxia.

We may not be fans of the new, open-world approach of this new tactical stealth game, but Mimimi once again shows that they have mastered the intricacies of the genre.

Utawarerumono Mask of Truth is a hybrid JRPG/ Visual novel that gives a long awaited closure to the series. A closure that will satisfy everyone who has been waiting for the end of this saga for so many years.

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.

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.

The annual entry of Formula 1 game is, as expected, an update and not an evolution for the series. Be that as it may, it offers a mesmerizing driving experience, accompanied by a well-made and lengthy career mode that would definitely keep the fans occupied until the inevitable F1 24.

Darkest hour is a finely-crafted strategy, standalone expansion for Hearts of Iron that offers, among other things, a brand new and improved map. Also, for the very first time in the series, it covers the events of the First World War. At 10 euros/dollars Darkest Hour is a great bargain.

A competent 2D brawler with excellent graphics straight out of the comic books and satisfactory action and gameplay.

It's been a while since we've seen a "God game", and Ubisoft brings back the genre in a truly inspiring way.

Even though this time Sly is more oriented towards a younger audience, Thieves in Time retains all the positive elements from previous games and delivers a solid experience.

Probably the best Brain Training game with well made and addictive exercises and a very fun multiplayer mode.

It’s definitely an improvement over the original Outlast. We are not especially fans of the methods by which it achieves the sense of terror, mainly by throwing you in one shocking situation after another, but nevertheless, we can’t deny that Red Barrels achieves its goals of creating an improved sequel and one of the scariest experiences out there.

A refreshingly realistic take on the game of football and tons of content should be enough for fans to dive once again in the virtual stadiums of FIFA. However, Ultimate Team remains the gaming industry's most aggressively toxic loot box environment. Also, that precious next-gen feeling will have to wait.

Aeterna Noctis is the closer metroidvania to Hollow Knight you could get, delivering an experience that is clearly inspired by the best game of the genre. Its enormous world map and myriad of secrets will keep you entertained for tens of hours, but you should beware that its high difficulty means that it aims at players who really want to test their reflexes and lightning-fast combination of special powers.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire does an excellent job of translating 1920s and ’30s cartoon aesthetics into an old-school FPS. It fully embraces its noir setting, delivering clever one-liners, energetic jazz, and a well-written, humor-filled conspiracy to unravel. It’s held back somewhat by repetitive shooting and limited enemy variety, but all in all, it stands as a charming and stylish tribute to a bygone cartoon era.

This HD version of Secret of Man is a welcome release, especially for those who want to revisit the adventures of the three young protagonists. Newer gamers though may find the overall design to be dated.

Luigi’s Mansion for the Nintendo 3DS is an overall decent port of the original. The fact that Grezzo worked on it guarantees that the final product is respectful towards what the original developers made seventeen years ago. Many new additions and improvements, alongside the fact that the 3D effect is giving us the impression of a 17-year old definitive edition are more than enough for newcomers to the series to give it a shot, yet might fail veteran players who have tried everything the game could give and are expecting something entirely new.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is packed with well-written humour, clever puzzles, and excellent level design. Though it's not without issues, such as limited enemy variety and long loading times, its charm and fun factor are undeniable.

An incredibly fun and addictive rhythm game that takes the premise of the genre and skyrockets it to new heights with the use of VR technology and the Move Controllers. Sadly, the PS4 version lacks the rich content for the PC version that is created by the community.

The breathtaking art (inspired by Czech shadow puppet theatre) and the wonderful experimental music from Hidden Orchestra create a hauntingly weird and enticing underground world that you will want to explore, even if you have to go through some repetition, padding and filler during your journey.

Mutant Year Zero is one of the most straightforward turn-based games that may be a bit on the short side, clocking in just around 15 hours, but on the other hand it is devoid of any kind of fillers (i.e. randomized grindy levels). The challenging difficulty, the likeable characters and the overall intriguing post-apocalyptic environment creates the appetite for an even more expanded sequel.

A Hat in Time proudly doesn’t shy from showing its inspirations from the 3D platform classics while radiating its own unique personality thanks to charmingly designed worlds (although we could do with a bit more of them!). It is unfortunate then that precise jumping is never as… precise as it should be. Even though it may not hinder the enjoyment by much it is nevertheless a shortcoming in an otherwise especially enjoyable experience.

The name might be changed but the essence of the game remains the same. This means that EA Sports FC 24 is not an evolution of the -formerly known- FIFA series but mostly the expected annual update.

You won't experience the full extend of this game if you don't own a racing wheel, but that doesn't mean that you won't enjoy every second of your time on the track.

Visions of Mana is a welcome return to the legendary JRPG series, featuring a well-written story, beautiful visuals, and cleverly designed dungeons. While it may start off slowly in the introductory chapters and the battle system could benefit from some refinements, overall, fans of the series will be pleased with this new chapter.

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.

The PC version of Beyond: Two Souls remains impressive despite its age, with a great cast, solid story but oversimplified gameplay. Despite its shortcomings, the PC port is the best version of the game by far, with support for 4K and ultrawide monitors, as well as 60 fps. This is best way to experience the game if you haven’t played it yet.

Yuke's is trying to deliver something fresh albeit with mixed results. The addition of "Pride" is welcomed, but serious changes must be done with the graphics engine of the franchise.
