    Valley of the Yetis is a season (pass) finale which lacks the imaginative form and the brute substance of its mythological star, trivialized in herds. A predictable flip-flop between repetitive defensive sieges and uninspired armed explorations. Night and day, till the (early) end.

    This isn’t a game inspired by old school RPG’sas a matter of fact this is an old school RPG, even if its release date says 2015. Pixel Heroes is engaging, unforgiven and most of all fun.

    There’s something good and engaging in this arcade game, but it’s buried under tons of ads and pop-up.

    A great endless runner graced by perfect controls and lovely visuals. It’s also entirely free.

    A great idea with some annoying issues in terms of execution.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A smart and solid game, with a lack of levels that will probably be filled by the community shared creations.

    Bon Appétit is the same old, enjoyable, Cooking Mama game. If you have played it before, forget it. If you have a kid or a little brother/sister, Mama can be a funny teacher.

    Filled with nice ideas yet very short, Pneuma is a nice but forgettable collection of puzzles.

    Three different gameplay types for a surprising and lengthy game.

    Some - those that love a bit of pain in their games, to make the reward even sweeter - might be truly bewitched by this charming game, especially if they play it with the right company. All the others will find in Helldivers a fun and refreshing experience, one that's capable of adding something unique to a well known formula crowded with glorious precursors. It might not be fully on par with the best ever in its genre, but don't hesitate to give it a chance if you dig this kind of shooter.
    • 91 Metascore

    A great rhythm game that you will not be able to stop playing.

    This Remastered Collection proves to be a great graphical update of a masterpiece that stood the test of time.

    An ill conceived try to introduce some new gameplay elements that don't mesh well with the Nemesis System.

    Dragon Ball: Xenoverse is a parallel universe of innovation, new-gen graphics and customization that renews tradition without loosing its original flavour.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is a well balanced mix of turn-based strategy and hack 'n' slash gameplay in real time. The scenery graphics are still not on par with the attention to detail of the main characters, though.

    There’s something special in Alto’s Adventure, and it goes beyond the stunning visuals or the refined gameplay: it’s that something that makes games great, and there’s a lot of that in it.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A challenging and clever puzzle game with a lot of physics in it. Maybe too short, but really well-crafted.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Potatoma Seeks the Troof is a good game that can be really frustrating. It’s not the platformer of your life, but it’s satisfying to beat.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dead or Alive 5 Last Round brings DoA5's smooth gameplay to new generation consoles, with the addition of 1080p resolution and a stable 60fps frame rate.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    An expansion pack with a very convenient new name, with some new content that does not justify the price tag. The game is the same the fans already played and it didn't age that well.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A really good sequel and a great old-school graphic adventure. Graphics are very good, the writing is extremely funny, puzzles are smart and complex, and the game is really long.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The Order 1886 tells an interesting story with gorgeous visuals and good gameplay. But it has no replayability whatsoever.
    • 89 Metascore

    Majora's Mask 3D is the most unique and fascinating Zelda game in its history, updated both technically and in its mechanics.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A frantic, enjoyable and easy to approach strictly for multiplayer game.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A good DLC, but the price point is frankly too high.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Still a great twin stick shooter, but Ultra is just a lazy port from the original PS3 game. All that was so convincing of the PS Vita game (Super Stardust Delta) has been lost.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Cool, fast paced and demanding: Tempo is a fun mix of different elements that delivers a fun experience.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A moving, clever and engaging puzzle game, blessed by amazing visuals.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    There are a lot of good and fresh ideas in King of Thieves, but they all are kinda devalued by the lockpick system, that clip the songs to Zeptolab’s game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A very old school RPG. If you like hyper-complex mechanics and dated graphics, go for it.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A smart and original puzzle game. It's got some control issues and the price is a bit high, but it deserves a fair chance.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A bizarre free to play platform MMO that's incredibly fun.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It tries to mix The Wire with the Telltale Games and maybe the ambitions are too high, but the mood is strong and there's some potential.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    A fun FPS coming from the mobile scene that gets a bit too repetitive a bit too early.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A bizarre shooter with an original and beautiful artistic direction but not much meat under it.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An original and challenging game, maybe a bit too complex and repetitive.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A smart puzzle game with a lot of content at a small price.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    This is a lazy port of a four year old game. The good news is: Assault Horizon Legacy was a good game back in 2011 and it's still enjoyable today.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    Simplistic game and level design make Ironfall Invasion a boring and dull third person shooter. A wasted opportunity.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    There's something good in this attempt to fit the MOBA genre to mobile platforms, but lacks in content and it’s way too unbalanced to be recommended.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Attila builds on the legacy of Rome II and delivers a great combination of deep strategic experience and epic atmosphere.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A very good arcade adventure game, with a beautiful sense of style and some very good level design. It's also a good sequel, even though it feels less ambitious and complex than the previous games in the series.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate might very well be the best chapter of the series. The vertical gameplay makes everything more interesting, all while keeping the unique hunt feeling of the series. There's lots of content (the normal game, plus the Ultimate add on) and the game is more accessible to newcomers. Beware, though, because we're still talking about a very taxing game, which might not be everybody's cup of tea.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Gorgeous to look at, but a bit clunky to play, it's an old school platformer for hardcore gamers that do not fear challenge.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Feels like the start of a new season of GoT - in the bad sense, that is. Too many introductions, too little development. A bridge to something greater, but incapable of standing on its own.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    There’s something special in this game: I don’t know if it’s the amazing level design, the idea of using shadows and lights like platforms and wall or the cuteness of the main character, but everything works, and works really well.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    That’s not a perfect, but nevertheless it’s an engaging and hard puzzle game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A clever, fun and most of all relaxing puzzle game, graced by a cool and minimal look.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Deathtrap "is a trap every man of common sense would be happy to fall into", thanks to its catching tower defense gameplay with arpg elements imported from The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. An ephemeral beauty, though, especially for those who have already enjoyed it in the main saga.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Grow Home takes your breath away... but just for a few hours. As long as it keeps growing, it's a nice, little and smart game. Then it suddenly stops.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A three-match games wit RPG elements and giant monsters: Hunter Quest is indeed a companion app, but it can walk with its legs, and they are strong ones.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A really old school soccer game: it’s not perfect, but it’s fun and reminds you the good old Kick Off era, and that’s a good thing.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    So realistic it's almost a professional tool more than a game. Still the best realistic racing experience out there.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    If you liked Dead Island, you’ll do the same with Dying Light, even more. The Techland formula has remained virtually the same, with the only differences bing parkour and the day-night cycle. Defects and deficiencies are not lacking, but the bold attempt to mix survival, first person “platform” and RPG is simply brilliant.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A good start that shows a lot of potential and great personality but is a bit dragged down by the clunky writing.
    • 80 Metascore

    It took seventeen years, but Manny Calavera is back and he's ready to show everyone why graphic adventures were all the rage back then.

    With Satellina you have to think wisely and react fast. This is a smart game, and it gives a lot of challenge and fun.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A new way to explore the endless runner territory, with a more thoughtful but equally challenging gameplay. It’s really beautiful to see to, and that’s always good.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even though we are talking about a Flappy Bird clone this is a good one, nice to see and more accessible to play.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A clever endless fighting game that is a rhythm game too. Not perfect but quite fun.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An overpriced DLC which just adds permadeath and a countdown to the original formula without changing anything else, turning Far Cry into Fast Cry.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Elite: Dangerous is a spectacular space simulation. The galactic vistas are breathtaking and the gameplay is complex and fun. The developers still need to work on the multiplayer and on the narrative aspects, otherwise the game tends to be a very long grind to get new ships.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great JRPG for PS Vita and a remake that finally makes a tribute to the original game, improving it in every aspect. Maybe it's a bit too integralist, but just for this it’s perfect for all fans of the genre.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A fun arcade game with a lot of 80’s vibe and a really cool soundtrack. It’s not perfect, but it’s fun and with a lot to discover.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The usual cool gameplay, crisp graphics, solid frame rate... a very good port.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A very good tactical RPG, in many ways bizarrely closer to the Japanese school than to the western one.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Even though cowboys are not my favorite, Space Marshals is a solid top-down tactical shooter, graced by great visuals and precise controls.
    • tbd Metascore

    Three colors, a solid physics system and a white ball to throw in a distant hole. There’s nothing else in Desert Golfing and yet I can’t stop playing.

    • 78 Critic Score
    Resident Evil HD Remaster is a fairly useless purchase for those who already perfectly know the 2002 GameCube version. However this is still a great game, even though after 13 years it was perhaps better to update it a bit 'more apart for graphics and sound.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The bland remastered edition of a one-and-half-year-old game, plus a reasonably good stand alone expansion. More meat than technique.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's got a couple of badly designed puzzles, but it's a meaty DLC, and it comes for free!
    • 50 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Even thought there are some serious balancing issues and you don’t have nothing to do than tap on your phone’s display, Tap Titans is an engaging and clever clicker game, and you probably end up to feel a little ashamed for the time you will spend on it.

    Drop Wizard is a real (and fun to play) tribute to old school games, for both visuals and gameplay. It’s not perfect but nevertheless fun.

    Hidden behind the tragicomic silhouette of a zany little spider lies a sublime distillation of cruelty and fine gameplay: Daddy Long Legs might be the first "survival" endless runner, but surely is the epitome of a must have. Do not miss it.

    That’s how all platform games should be on touchscreen device: fast paced, with perfect controls and a great level design. There’s a lot of replay value in Bean Dreams, and a bean with a huge sombrero.

    There probably is something beautiful in this windwaker/animal crossing-esque free to play title, but it’s way to buried under its freemium business model and repetitive activities.

    There’s nothing really new or worth playing in this first premium DLC of Shadow of Mordor, and the few interesting mechanics are poorly developed.
    • 76 Metascore

    A very good fighting game, with nice graphics, finely tuned touch controls and a lot of Marvel charachters. Sadly, you need to be online even for the single player mode.

    • 60 Critic Score
    This is the first "real" mobile SimCity and it's a nice game, but it's more Clash of Clans than classic Sim City and the free to play model doesn't work very well.

    Peggle is still a great game, but this freemium version is... well... freemium.

    On the visual side, apart from some minor bugs and the lack of some graphics options that we would have expected, the result has fully convinced us. The Fox Engine is an excellent graphics engine that requires no ultra PC to be enjoyed at its best.

    Even if Retro City Rampage: DX is a great step forward from the previous installment, it still lacks what it takes to make a great game. Missions can become literally a chore and the parody itself isn't funny at all.

    Behind the quirky and irresistible zany arcade mask lies a fitness game that proves to be demanding (in more than a way), questionable and even shaky tech-wise: the intentions might be good, the results not so much.

    Forza Horizon 2: Storm Island is a pretty solid, rally themed DLC. The new location works well with the improved bad weather conditions and adds a lot to stuff to do, although not all the new events are actually "new".
