The D.U.M.A offers some fun while traversing and fighting, but outside of that Star Ocean: The Divine Force it's an average JRPG. And that's ok, sometimes this kind of games that are good but not "masterpiece good" are just as entertaining as any crazy budget AAA. Sometimes even more.

It's not the most complex strategy game out there, but it will appeal to the Dragon Ball set for sure. SDBHWM offers an amazing quantity of characters, references and attacks from the Dragon Ball universe. Fan service made right.

It still is a great shooter, but it undoubtedly shows its age. The graphical improvements are just anecdotic.

The Callisto Protocol is the game fans of space "survival horror" have been waiting for years. It´s not a revolution in the genre, but a solid addition, full of scary moments and with a deep (and brutal) combat system.

Rise of New Champions is a great anime adaptation. A fast and spectacular soccer arcade, with every player and special move from Captain Tsubasa, and two single player story modes that deepen the experience.

Faith runs with freedom in a game that feels as fresh as the original and gives a step forward in every aspect. If parkour is a religion, DICE is its particular Holy See.

Despite its poor visuals compared to other recent titles for Wii U, StarFox Zero retains the charm that made the StarFox saga a classic, almost a genre on its own, and implements a new control scheme that uses the GamePad for precise aiming. Full of hidden paths, with a great learning curve, different vehicles, and true "classic" gameplay, StarFox Zero is a MUST if you own a Wii U.

A fun puzzle game, especially for younger players. Unfortunately, it is very short and too easy to beat.

Only 25 minutes of gameplay, Jedi training aside, makes this Vader Immortal Episode 2 an ephemeral VR experience that will leave you wanting more. More intense and joyful than the first episode, but with less content at the same price. Even with it's great immersion and atmosphere, It doesn't offer anything not seen before in other VR games.

Disney Magical World 2 remaster for Nintendo Switch it's a very recommendable game for the youngster Disney fans out there (and the ones not used to videogames) who wanted to play something like "Animal Crossing", but more approachable since the first minute.

One of the most risky, surreal and unclassifiable adventures we've seen. Ideal for those who love the movies by Lynch or Aronofsky. Its technical issues burden the experience, but you still should play this twisted and dark vision of the world.

The Lego formula bring us one great family game, true to the Disney Pixar characters, full of details, and even better in local coop multiplayer. The Incredibles is a perfect game to share with your kids or younger siblings.

Sea of Solitude lands on Nintendo Switch with a superb port that makes little changes on the screenplay and dubbing and adds new options, making it the "definitive version" of a personal view to real world problems that videogames doesn't show often. If you love videogames with a message, don't sleep about this one.

Knack II considerably improves the formula of its predecessor by including, among other things, a fun cooperative game system and a greater number of moves to execute with Knack. However, the story it offers is not so original and the game can be repetitive at times.

Oninaki is a solid-action JRPG that experiments lightly with the foundations of the genre creating a world with personality and appeal. The game does not disappoint by mixing tradition with novelty.

Sea of Thieves shines most brightly when playing with friends. The gameplay is both fun and accessible, and the technical aspects of the game are truly wonderful, but everything is weighed down by the lack of additional content and greater variety.

Mad Max is really conventional, a mix of driving and exploration with the combat system that everybody seems to clone these days (the Batman Arkham, as you must know). It even wastes some good opportunities to create a really unique game that truly makes a difference. None of these, by the way, makes Mad Max a bad game because the genre combination, the huge content available and the excellent level design are addictive enough to keep us playing for weeks.

Despite being a spin-off, Hey! Pikmin fulfills expectations offering a number of platforms and puzzles enough in an adventure where humor is the most remarkable. However, it could be up to or fairly close to the other installments of the saga if it offered more innovation or the difficulty was not perceived as easy.

As a multiplayer experience, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games: Tokyo 2020 can be considered the "1-2 Switch" of this Xmas, a fun game that is enjoyed when playing with friends, even if it lacks events and the story mode feels short and child-oriented. If you want it to play alone, there are better options...

Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - The Official Videogame doesn't have many sports, but has enough gameplay variety to keep you entertained with the multiplayer, smashing buttons in athleticism or playing arcade versions of football, basketball or baseball. If you're playing solo, it won't last you long.

It's not revolutionary in its gameplay, but collecting new shinobis and the flashy jutsus make him an easy-going experience.

Vagante it's a joyful roguelite that will give you a ton of game hours, and it hides more that you can imagine at first sight. With 4 player coop on the same Switch, with local and online modes too, it's a great game to enjoy with others, even if the combat it's a little bit simple and the formula, as all roguelites, no less repetitive.

Clock Tower: Rewind faithfully recreates the original title… perhaps too faithfully, but that doesn't mean that it's not a fundamental piece to understand current survival horror.

Akane is the kind of game you pick thinking is going to be just a minute... And hours (and many tries) later you realize you are hooked. I mean, how would you say no to a mix of katanas, cyberpunk and pixel-art?

An interesting change in Assassin's Creed's gameplay and a charismatic main character don't hide its flaws in the technical aspect. It's a bit monotonous, too.

Despite its technical flaws, its chessy dialogue, its repetitive missions... despite everything, Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion has managed to entertain me with its fun battles and its countless options for turning us into a machine of mass destruction, although it is far from being the mecha game we were hoping for.

ARK: Survival Evolved is a videogame with tons of possibilities where we'll fall in love with its splendorous aesthetics, its content and its particularly attractive thematic. It's sad, though, that our most important enemy in a world plagued with dinosaurs may be its disastrous optimization.

Bandai haven't risked in its ideas, but the game renews the attractive of the franchise while maintaining the free to play model. An ideal game for short play sessions, while we wait for the next bus bound to Namek.

As a game, Pokémon GO is weak at it's best. But as a social phenomenon, it knows no limits. They make us believe that we must catch them all... But it is they who've captured us.

It's an OK fighting game, but fans will love the amount of references and new ways to enjoy Dragon Ball that it offers. The camera and some tech issues are there, but it has some spectacular battles too.

Deliver At All Costs is one of those guilty pleasures we all have. It's a game that has aspects that can be bastly improved (story, cinematics, loading times...), but at the same time its proposal is so crazy and fun, that it's hard to put the controller down: you'll want to keep running errands and exploring its world.

Pokémon Mistery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX brings back the dungeon-crawler, roguelike type of gameplay of this series, with a new and charming presentation and lost of improvements, although some of the biggest problems of the original game remains. If you've didn't play the original, this a great chance to do it.

With spectacular action, great controls and a lot of emphasis on the story, Manticore: Galaxy on Fire is the best option for those who are looking to bring space battles anywhere on the Nintendo Switch.

xDefiant has some of that Call of Duty golden era feel that many fans have been asking for, but it also manages to add small gameplay tweaks to deliver a fresh, addictive and fun FPS experience. It falls short on launch content, but Ubisoft has a good foundation to build on.

Through a world of monsters and fantasy, Sea of Solitude tells a story about real problems that never get enough attention, especially in video games. It's like looking into the soul of another person.

For a short time we feel like a true Jedi, with immersive lightsaber combat mechanics, use of the Force and great locations and characters. But Vader Immortal ends too soon, more like an experience than a complete game.

Daemon X Machina allows us to create our own giant robots, select between multiple weapons and engage in frantic combat with other pilots and enemy creatures... but the control scheme is complicated and missions feel too similar.

If you're a WWE fan, you'll have a great time with WWE 2K17. But you can also be disappointed to see the big absences in the game this year. Yuke's has tried it, but they have not been able to overcome themselves and they show sings of accommodation. The WWE 2K franchise begins to ask for help and should take up a little from its brothers from NBA 2K.

We love the characters and the sense of humor in Tales of the Borderlands, but decision making, QTE and exploration sequences don´t live up to the story.

Rune Factory 5 can be a lengthy and deep entertainment if you overlook its insufficient graphics, compromised by questionable artistic choices. This country life may not be as idyllic as it sounds, and the combat system is really basic in uninspired dungeons.

Lost Sphear is a little step forward for Tokyo RPG Factory, solving all the bad things from I Am Setsuna and keeping the good ones exactly as they were. If you love JRPGs and miss those times where everything was simpler, don't miss it.

Red Wings biggest sin resides in its little varied offering, but it does right a lot of things: campaign can be played in coop, the action is intense and joyful, it has some interesting mechanics... It's a shame that it doesn't offer more types of missions and modes.

Starblood Arena is an immersive PSVR shooter, that lacks of game modes and different arenas. Game progression is limited to visual elements, and sometimes can make you dizzy.

We're thankful for this game finally coming to the West, because it's a well crafted, amusing survival horror. It needs a greater improvement on the graphical side, though.

Coronavirus has extended the previous season of the NBA and next-gen is very close, so the timing is not the best for this entry in the franchise, which is very continuist. However, it is still a great basketball game.

An interesting twist in the original game formula with new and different puzzles and enemies. Mind tough that it is a really short DLC, but its action and challenges are satisfying.

Call of Cthulhu brings to the Nintendo Switch the horror and madness of the game developed by Cyanide a Studio, with a great port that maintains all the ups and downs of the original launch.

Dustborn delivers a ‘road movie’ style story with an interesting and addictive plot that also gives a great sensitivity to important issues such as gender identity and women's empowerment. All of which makes you overlook some of its gameplay missteps.

A friendly return to the franchise, but clearly too short. Specially recommended for the younger members of the family.

DICE, Criterion and Motive join forces to give us a game worthy of the Force. They have learned their lesson and, this time, we have the Star Wars game we all deserve, with enough variety and a lot of content for every kind of player.

MotoGP 17 feels realistic and has every bike and circuit from the official license, but the game hasn´t improved enough from Valentino Rossi The Game (2016) and the graphic engine is outdated.

Twenty five characters, nice Pixar movie looks, and the mix of MOBA and first person shooter genres makes the first big Hero Shooter one of the most original games we've seen in years. Only the lack of more multiplayer modes and maps keeps Battleborn away from being one of the best games we've seen this first half of year.

The combined chakra of the impressive cast of playable characters can't hide that the story modes in Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections are vey lackluster, falling far from being the ultimate game in the Storm series.

Frantics delivers a fun multiplayer experience for anyone, even if they are not familiar with game controllers. This Playlink game includes 15 minigames.

The first Brass Token game is set in an interesting psychedelic horror universe, inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man, Midsommar or Apostle. We enjoyed the story, characters and some undeveloped ideas, but most mechanics feel outdated.

Déraciné is a beautiful game, with a moving story and simple mechanics. We enjoyed its exploration (with an immersive use of VR) and storyline, but it´s short, and puzzle solving is too easy.

A great run and gun with tons of chaotic action... with a lot of technical issues on the PS4 version.

The game keeps its lovely charm and a huge and ambitious setting, but not all the game mechanics hold a candle to today's standards. The visual improvements are pretty poor and the even worsened some aspects like the frame rate. Nonetheless, it's an interesting experience for any JRPG fan.

Although it is the most irregular of the three games, Pixel Ripped 1978 has some special moments that, thanks to virtual reality, are even more impressive. Final bosses, working in the Atari offices, switching between different realities... these are moments you will remember.

Yooka-Laylee is a 3D platformer like those we had in the past and a great successor to Banjo-Kazooie. The gameplay is almost the same, just putting a chameleon and a bat in the place of the bear and the bird. The true Rare is now called Playtonic Games.

Some technical flaws are totally compensated by its absorbing atmosphere and its "no mercy" philosophy. If you are a diehard fan of the survival horror genre, you should try it.

Warhammer 40K Space Marine Master Crafted Edition is the best version of the cult classic shooter, but this remastered version offers a remastering job that falls short. You'll enjoy it if you've never played it, but if you did back in the day, there's little here to tempt you back to the title.

The Wizards delivers one of the most solid experience we enjoyed in VR. It is immersive, comfortable and makes perfect use of motion controls to make us feel like summoning spells and confronting huge creatures.

As in previous versions, Resident Evil 6 is a game that you can love or hate, depending on what you expect. If you're looking for classical survival, you won't find it here... but if you are looking for mindless action movie full of content, you will like it. The Switch port is at least very good: it looks and moves like a charm.

Its gameplay is more adapted than ever to portable experience: the modes are fast-paced, and Party Guest lets us enjoy the full multiplayer with just one copy of the game. But it has too few minigames, and the game becomes repetitive quickly.

A bit superior to the previous iteration and spectacular without a doubt, it still is too basic compared to the 'big bosses' of the genre.

Quotation forthcoming.

Quotation forthcoming.

Thymesia is a humble indie soulsborne that, despite its marked inspirations and forced comparisons with giants like Bloodborne, manages to bring some other details to the genre. It lags behind in many aspects, but it also manages to attract attention through frenetic and fun combat.

As a dungeon crawler, Snack World doesn't stand out among all the other similar (and better) games. But the sense of humor, powered by a magnificent Spanish translation and dub, manages to achieve great levels of charm an personality. If you're looking for something simple and fun to be in a good mood... This is it.

Effie is, without any doubt, one of the best games that has come out of the PlayStation Talents initiative. A full-fledged adventure, with platform, action and puzzles that, apart from being fun and entertaining, has a unique visual style that sets it apart from the rest. Pity that the camera and the control in the combat is not a better film.

Atlas Fallen does not invent the wheel, but it has a good level in almost all its sections, and bets on a charismatic fictional universe (with potential for a sequel). If you like hack and slash, action-RPGs or the rarities of the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation, here is one of the surprises of the year.

Re: Zero comes to PC, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch with The Prophecy of the throne, a new visual novel supervised by Tappei Nagatsuki that will delight anime fans, but will not dazzle those looking for the deeper gameplay.

Battlefield 2042 skips the campaign and sticks to what it does best: deep, fun multiplayer. The 128 player figure (on PC and next gen) ensures the most spectacular battles in the series, and we love Battlefield Portal's nods to previous installments. The analyzed version had some minor bugs.

With a story that has pulled us in from start to finish, clever puzzles and great representation of spanish culture, TAPE: Unveil the Memories it's a great surprise. If you love thrillers with and pinch of horror, don't miss it!

It's hard to stand out among open world adventures. Outcast 2 achieves this at times thanks to its ease and sense of freedom, but neither the missions themselves nor their visual performance manage to rise to the occasion.

Even though it offers a great customization system and frenetic pacing, its repetitive story mode, which is full of bland and clunky combats and performance hiccups, makes Earth's Dawn fall behind the best games in the genre.

Gal Gun Returns it's the "softest" game of this ecchi oriented shooting arcade series. As a remaster of the first game, it lacks some options seen in the sequel, like the dating sim options, and it focuses on the shooting side. It's a simple game, but if you like its crazy proposal, you'll have a fun time.

Contracts was a great step ahead for the Sniper Ghost Warrior series, and this sequel is even better. Sniping is fun, and we like the open level design, but there are still some technical issues with AI, loading times and several bugs.

An acceptable DLC to say goodbye to Shadow of Mordor. It's fun and challenging as long as it lasts, but in some areas it's below the level of the original adventure.

MythForce is an entertaining action and role-playing roguelite, which stands out for its 80's cartoon aesthetics and for being very oriented to 4 player coop. It has many "evils" of the subgenre (random level generation, repetition...), but if you're going to play it with friends, you'll have a great time. In solitaire, maybe not so much.

It delivers at making us enjoy while we suffer torture and it keeps the spirit of the franchise alive, although it can't help repeating the same mistakes the previous games had.

Mafia III is a game full of contrasts. It has some issues, but its vision of the gang world makes it very attractive as a sandbox. The narrative, the historical context and the music are just amazing. If you can forgive its technical troubles, you will see that Lincoln Clay has the strength of a hurricane.

Conan Exiles feels like an unfinished game. A unique survival experience, full of potential, but also full of bugs and broken elements. It may develop into one of the best in its genre if Funcom continues working on it.

A 2D action-platformer game that shines in his lovely Pixel Art and heavy metal soundtrack, but falls short in aspects like level design and combat system. That doesn't mean that it's an easy game: as in Dark Souls, you'll die lots of times. If you can bear with all this, and love hack & slash games from the '90s, you'll have a fun time with it.

Although it still suffers from the language problem, Fairy Tail 2 improves greatly compared to its previous installment, offering us a new combat system and graphic quality that will undoubtedly excite anime lovers.

There's an unique charm in Flight Simulator 2024 that makes you come back over and over, even if you're not a fan of flying. It's a shame, though, that we find sooo many technical issues on the way, because everything else is as ambitious as laudable.

PS4 offers better and less outdated RPGs, but the charm of the digimon you can find is beyond any doubt. If tricky adventures don't scare you, give it a go.

As other memorable coin-ops, Sly Spy debuts on Switch with the same pros & cons that other classic games seen on the Johnny Turbos' Arcade series: it's an experience that, by today standards, falls too short (10-12 minutes to complete) and the emulation doesn't offer too many options (no "DIP switches", different versions of the game by region...)

A good beat em up with a great and erotic sense of humor and a good worked combat system. Unfortunately, it hasn't got a memorable history and its graphics are a little outdated.

At it's core, this is action-packed fun. We really like what's currently on the table. The question is... Will it be enough to keep the interest of players alive for the next weeks?

MediEvil for the PS4 stays true to the original, for better or worse. It has a charm that no game can replicate nowadays, but the gameplay has become stale. Nevertheless, if you have fond memories of the original game, you'll surely feel like a kid being in Sir Daniel bones again.

The Wii U GamePad fits very well, especially in Off-TV mode. Apart from that, it doesn't add many new features to the series, but it's still a worthy entry.

Citizens of Earth has a lot of great ideas that work well, such as its recruitable characters, turn-based combat system and sense of humour.

Doom 3 is still a great horror experience, and the new HUD and controls are perfect for VR. But it´s been more than 15 years since the game was originally released, and some elements feel outdated.

As with N++, Super Meat Boy and other games alike, The King's Bird focuses on control and gameplay over story. Gain "momentum" and use it to glide and rush through the levels it's the key to complete the game and conquer the online rankings. It's a challenging experience, if you're the kind of player that loves speed-running gaming.

A content-packed game that really shows the essence of Sonic, specially in the 3D sections. Switch version is not the most spectacular of them all, but it's really enjoyable nonetheless (and you can do it outside).

How to Survive 2 is a game that delivers on its promise. Without too much technical bragging, it manages to entertain and provides us with hours of zombie attacks. In cooperative much better than alone.
