Left Alive is one of the most serious contenders for one of the worst games of this generation, at least compared to other AA and AAA productions. Both the stealth and the action approaches are extremely derivative and lacking utterly important features (such as stealth kills function) to the point that the game looks as if has been published in its alpha state.

Death end re;Quest comes with great storytelling, a nice cast of characters and a renewed combat system, which makes it a great JRPG choice for those who are familiar with the works of Compile Heart.

As an homage to the Persona series, The Caligula Effect: Overdose tries to utilize the same mechanics and mannerisms that made the Persona games unique, yet fails to improve over its past shadow. While it does improve many aspects, including a fantastic battle system, it still struggles to improve its storytelling and interaction mechanisms, which ultimately fail to engage players to the dark secrets of the human soul. Not a bad effort, but definitely with room to improve.

Anthem has its share of problems, like the poor "Quality of Life", a few major bugs and some design flaws, but it has laid the foundation for a game that can be greatly improved upon. Now it is time for BioWare's move.

"Pure fun". This is the best way to describe Trials Rising, a game that improves upon the original design by RedLynx with amazing stages and great handling that becomes more addictive the more you play.

"Bouncy physics" aside, Dead or Alive 6 is first and foremost a great game, with an absolutely fantastic fighting system and superb graphics. It falls a bit short when it comes to its online modes, but this is balanced out by the wealth of the offline content.

The rhythmic, cymbal-centric, jazz music is combined impeccably with the frenetic action of Ape Out. Taking a cue from the way the game categorizes its levels into vinyl disks we feel that we only received side A now and we still missing side B. Probably this shows how much we enjoyed the game (wanting more of it) but, nevertheless, it feels like it could benefit greatly from more content, at least in terms of levels.

God Eater 3 has a nice and pleasant combat system, which will satisfy the fans of the series. On the other hand, if you were excepting something new and fresh you'll be more than disappointed by the stagnation of the series.

With improvements in almost every single aspect of its design over the first game, Dirt Rally 2.0 offers a superb driving model with high levels of challenge, the best co-driver ever in a rally game and tons of content. We believe, though, that the "always online" model was rather unnecessary.

A triumphant return to its roots. Devil May Cry 5 proves that there's no real need for "reboots" in the industry, just respect for the original vision, love for the project and, of course, skilled hands that can deliver great results. It's a finely crafted game with a well-written story, three discreet fighting styles and gorgeous graphics that will draw you into a fantastic world for more that 12 hours of pure gaming bliss.

X-Morph: Defense is a game that manages to translate in a satisfactory way to the Nintendo Switch, bringing the clash between the forces of Aliens and the people of Earth on the go. It should be noted, though, that this version of the game does not offer something new to old players, as it lacks features that enforce replayability and faces problems that result from poor development. X-Morph: Defense is a diamond for the Switch, only rough and unrefined.

If you longed for an Advance Wars sequel you can finally stop searching for it. WarGroove is a true spiritual successor, and even though it doesn’t take many changes with the formula it is nevertheless filled with charming and highly challenging (albeit fare) content.

A major disappointment from Spike Chunsoft. What is salvageable from Jump Force is just the online mode, the beautiful character models and the chance to see so many beloved anime/ manga characters together in a game. A wasted opportunity.

The Final Chapter in the Kingdom Hearts saga comes with superb visuals, great story telling and an excellent combat system, that make all those years since the release of the previous major game in the franchise worth the wait.

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.

Unfortunately, the open world segments, one of the biggest additions in Exodus, have the constant feel of fillers, devoid of any noteworthy substance. It is an aspect of the game that could benefit of significant overhaul or scrapped altogether in a potential (and very welcome) sequel. On the other hand, the shooting is extremely satisfying and the more linear levels that come from the main missions bring the high-quality design, variety and claustrophobic feeling that fans of the series come to expect. All in all it is a Metro experience albeit with some… fat that could be trimmed.

Even though Arc Savior has enjoyable ship handling and overall good gameplay its potential is crippled by dated graphics, awful A.I. and intense repetition in the mission structure.

A decent "movie tie-in" that goes beyond the movies and offers lots of content in an interesting adventure. On the downside it feels more like a mobile game with lack of voice overs, poor presentation and a top-down camera that keeps our dragon mostly on the ground.

Stick with it for more than an hour and you may well change the feeling of utter boredom to a genuine attachment for the survival or your spaceship. That is until the Framen board relentlessly your vessel and annihilate the 3-4 hour progress back to point zero.

Elli is the first attempt for BandanaKid to make a dynamic start in the videogames industry, yet fails in many parts. Lots of erroneous developing choices during production phase are obvious in the final product, which discourage players to treat the game the way it deserves. And it’s a shame, because there are so many things inside it, that can ultimately persuade players to stick with it to the very end. A recommended indie title, which should be scrutinized by all players before purchase.

The first Onimusha is a classic game, no doubt about that, but this edition, unlike Resident Evil 2, is not a remake but the original version with slight upgrades and enhances that are not capable of hiding the fact that the first adventure of Samanosuke has aged poorly.

Drawing obvious inspiration from the works of John Woo and Hotline Miami, The Hong Kong Massacre is a top down shooter that tends to get repetitive, but offers intense action and great challenge.

Vane tries without succeeding to present a similar adventure with Journey, where the player could reach his own conclusions about a long-gone mysterious civilization. Here though the information given is extremely vague and in no part of the 2-3 hour trip we could make any assumption of what was going on. Some short-lived interesting gameplay ideas remain extremely unutilized, leaving in the end a game with simple and derivative gameplay along with the almost non-existent story.

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.

A "feel good" simulation game that borrows ideas from Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing in order to put together tons of content to keep you occupied for hours upon hours. If it wasn't for the sometimes tiresome grinding and the fact that the interesting story comes to a halt rather fast, it could have been an instant classic.

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.

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.

Drawing inspiration from the simplicity of the original trilogy, the improved movement from Resident Evil 4 and the exciting, gritty realism from Resident Evil 7, the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2 is the greatest genetic success to ever come out of the Umbrella Laboratories. An incredibly fresh-yet-classic experience that sets new standards on how a survival horror game should be designed in our era.
