    Inazuma Eleven GO gets better in some aspects, but it lost the right balance between narration and gameplay.

    Although it maintains most of its qualities, Borderlands 2 on PS Vita is not the best version of the game, mostly because of the technical limitations of the console.

    A must for all the competitive Street Fighter IV players. The news features are nice, the five characters are interesting and the updated mechanics will change the pace of the game, making it more strategic.

    Murdered: Soul Suspect discloses an interesting ghostly-noir soul and an original action-adventure detective body, but its investigations are too easy and their dynamics are too shallow to entertain for more than six, seven hours.

    We still love Edward Carby and Alone in The Dark, but the nostalgia effect is powerless against its sloppy control system.

    A good endless runner with a nice touch of personality: if you want quick and immediate fun this might be the right game.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A clever puzzle game with a smart concept and a stylish visuals. That's a shame that the free to play component is is somewhat restrictive.

    Keroblaster is one of the finest and well crafted action game on iOS, with a unique pixel art style and a great soundtrack. There's no reason why you shouldn't buy it.

    A one-of-a-kind 4X, Distant Worlds blends epic scale and macromanagement. The Universe release doesn't bring a lot of new content, but is a nice wrap-up nonetheless.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mugen Souls Z boasts a lot of content and all the fan service you could want, the lack of challenge, the bad writing and the mediocre graphics drag it down. Only for fans.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    This is clearly not The Wolf Among Us at its best, even though it's got some interesting moments and a couple of cool choices. But it's clearly a little more than a preparation for the big finale.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A decent reproposition of what still is a milestone in its genre. It's got a couple of new ideas that will not blow your mind but do make it fresher. The touch interface is well implemented but not perfect.

    • 89 Critic Score
    Watch Dogs is a very good free roaming game, with nice graphics (even without the gorgeous visuals we saw in the first trailers), interesting hacking-based gameplay mechanics, and solid gunplay. Sadly, the story, very poor and badly written, is not what a game like this deserves.

    Simpler than in its "home" version, F1 Race Stars still is a fun arcade racing game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A fun single player version of Ruzzle, with some pay to win issues, but still fun in its own way.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Galactikitties is a fun, unique and engaging game. It's not amazing, but it's fun while it lasts. And Grumpy Cat is not amused.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite being clearly inspired by Limbo, Monochroma finds its own voice and uses it to say interesting things. Sadly, its level design lacks imagination and the mechanics are a bit rough, so you should consider buying it only if you really dig its style.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A great second episode, able of improving Exordium in all its aspects. If Camouflaj will be able to create engaging puzzles then the future of Republique will be brighter.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Who was expecting such a big Wolfenstein return four years after the previous title? Not many, but MachineGames has developed a very good shooter with mixed gameplay (shoot&stealth), an interesting plot and great characters.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, even the really good shorts film contained in the disc can't save a production dragged down by a mediocre side-scrolling platform game, probably one of the worst of this year.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Transistor is a nice little adventure, an emotional one, with remarkable art direction and an interesting (even if somewhat unbalanced) combat system.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II is not a chimera, wisely expanding the solid action RPG features of the first episode, from deeper skill trees to... a new chimera pet, indeed.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A well made port for a multiplayer game that's still fun and very good looking.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    If Trackmania is not enough for you, you could try this competent arcade racing game.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An instantly engaging puzzle game, with a unique personality, that boasts a lot of fun.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An interesting puzzle game that reminded us of Braid's time related puzzles. It lacks rhythm and ambition, but fans of the genre should give it a try.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A nice, hard and engaging action game in dire need of a patch for gamepad support.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The PS Vita port of these glorious games could have been better, but if you want to play them on the bus...
    • 88 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Mario Kart 8 is a beast: with great track design, plenty of characters, karts, bikes and power ups is the best Mario Kart of all time. Also thanks to revamped online modes and some gorgeous graphics, is the single reason you need to own a Wii U.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It does not reach the level and the beauty of its great predecessors, but Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure is still a good and nostalgic adventure game. Let's hope this Big Finish Games effort is not an isolated case, but the beginning of something more lasting.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    In Harm’s Way is the amazing turning point for the second season of Telltale Game's The Walking Dead.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    A Spidey game that falls short of any Batman: Arkham, again. Its open world is empty of interesting interactions and full of repetitive fights with uninspired bands of villains. Its free roaming makes you free as a bird when gliding in the air but clumsy as a silly spider when fighting on the ground. Just another shattered hope since Shattered Dimensions.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Super Time Force is a funny, challenging and astonishing game based on time paradoxes and pure shooting spree. You must not miss it.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    It's like a perverse mix between Monument Valley and Lemmings, producing a fun and very good looking puzzle game. The less than perfect controls keep it from reaching excellence.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Another psychedelic, frustrating, engaging and original mobile game for you quick matches.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fun, engaging, addictive and frustrating: this is the typical mobile game, with a nice, unique and well implemented idea.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Under the retro style there's a very entertaining platform/shooter.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A nice and very good looking, but also too simple, linear and limited an adventure, even for its young target.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Bound by Flame fails to deliver on its promises and this is mainly because the combat system is simply not good enough. It's decent enough to play though, but way too generic to stand out.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Outlast: Whistleblower is a good DLC with at least two big advantages; it's not boring as Outlast, which in the long run could become repetitive, and is much more driven side gore-violence, with some really disturbing and excessive scenes.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    On its own, Red Dragon is a great game. But it just doesn't do much to progress the series. Still, we are talking about the most realistic, tactically deep and visually gorgeous RTT on the market.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A bad implementation of the free to play concept in a multiplayer-less SoulCalibur chapter. The heavy server issues also add to the disappointment.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Act three is maybe less “spectacular” in terms of visual direction than the previous two, but it's another incredibly well written game, full of crazy ideas and fresh situations. It's also a very particular game, fully based on interactive narration. But by now you should know if you like it.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    1849 isn't really a bad game. It's just a little game, with too little to do and too little to see.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Engaging and well structured, LEGO The Hobbit is not on par with the best previous LEGO videogames due to the repetitive nature of certain sections and to a certain lack of innovation in its mechanics. Still, lots of fun if you play the co-op mode.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A little big game full of charm and personality: smart, funny and deeply original, Stick It To The Man is definitely worth your time and money. Or at least that's what the minuscule alien in my brain is telling me.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There are three more hours of the usual Arkham series gameplay in this cold, cold piece of DLC, and this should be enough to decide if it's worth buying or not.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Hitman GO is a great puzzle game, with a unique visual style and a lot of brilliant contents. It manages to capture the essence of Agent 47, giving a fresh new touch to the series.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is one of the finest puzzle game in App Store, able to combine the freedom of artistic creation with the inevitability of the trial and error's mechanics
    • 88 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    This is probably the best version of the game: touch controls are intuitive and precise, and Advanced Edition's content offers a hundreds of hours of challenging but rewarding gameplay.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A deep and fascinating first person puzzle/adventure/exploration/whatever game, with a lot of content by itself, even if you don't care about the nice music editor you can unlock by finishing it.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The second half of Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse is a great step forward and it's better than the first. Puzzles are clever and the story, epilogue aside, it's fine too. Take a chance and go with Nico and George: and don't forget Paris.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Warlock II manages to be a fun, elegant, even if not overly deep, strategy game. The AI won't win any Nobel prize, but the whole package is quite decent.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Daylight is an horror game that despite its many limitations in gameplay and longevity, manages to keep its scary promises mainly thanks to a dark setting of great effect. The fear, though, is not enough to make a good horror game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    A zany, brilliant concept and unfortunately pretty much nothing else: Octodad: Dadliest Catch literally doesn't have a spine capable of holding everything up, making it closer to a wasted opportunity rather than the next big indie thing.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It hasn't got much innovation, that's for sure, but Leo's Fortune is a great platform/puzzle game, with lovely graphics and a lot of depth, especially if you're aiming to the top scores.
    • tbd Metascore

    UFHO 2 is an interesting puzzle game, with a nice concept and some depth, but also a few controls issues that keep it away from excellence.

    Wayward Souls is a fun, very demanding and deep roguelike that should give you plenty of satisfaction.
    • 80 Metascore

    Beautiful looking and full of surprises, Kirby Triple Deluxe is probably the best game in the never-ending Nintendo series.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Child of Light is a delightful game, graced by stunning visuals and a solid combat system, capable of giving a fresh new touch to the genre. Ubi Montreal's game is creative and entertaining, as well as one of the finest JRPGs for some time now.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A nice looking and competently realized tower defense game, but it's a bit repetitive and not very original.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage? is not really the typical lazy tie-in created as an easy cash cow: here and there you can see some intriguing ideas and cool stuff "à la Adventure Time", yet the inconsistency of the gameplay and the lack of fun seriously compromise the overall experience. Wouldn't it be time for a truly mathematical videogame?
    • 80 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    A robust, long, flexible and fascinating dungeon crawler and another gem in the huge 3DS catalogue.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    A truly unique experience, but it's not for everybody. You have to be aware of the words you're gonna read more than any others on your screen: "You're Dead".
    • 83 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    A great conclusion to the Blackwell series, Epiphany delivers a poignant ending, the usually strong investigative and spooky gameplay and at least one breathlessly emotional "ghost story". Be aware, though, that having played the previous games is strongly suggested.
    • 73 Metascore

    Twelve more games, and a frankly better selection than the first one, for all the people who want to explore the remote past of videogames.

    Hearthstone was clearly conceived with a touch interface at the center and these mobile version proves it.

    Simply put, this is the fighting game every JoJo fan dreamed to play and it's a great example of how to take inspiration from the best games out there and add something of yours.

    You'll laugh (and fell a little guilty) pushing tons of tin soldiers to their death, but you know it's a duty, necessary to achieve the victory. Life Goes On is based on a cynical premise, but it's really funny and addictive. Sadly, it won't last too long.

    Mario Golf: World Tour is a great golf game that gets even better with its online modes. It's very good looking and extremely fun to play.

    Ethan: Meteor Hunter is a deep and extremely challenging game. At times it gets too challenging, though, and it lacks the personality needed to emerge in a crowded genre.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Escha and Logy are the two halves of a great entry for this series, and a good JRPG overall. Both combat and alchemy system are fun to play and to explore, while we can not say the same about the plot, too boring and slow.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rajas of India is a good little DLC, which deals with a somewhat obscure epoch of history. Even if it adds little to the overall picture of Crusader Kings II, it could still be a good purchase for the committed fan.

    • 82 Critic Score
    Demon Gaze will not revolutionize the JRPG genre, but it's a very well crafted game, that delivers tons of fun and high longevity. If you love dungeon crawlers, you should give it a chance.

    The new contents of this Director's Cut version of Strike Suit Zero make the game more complete and a little 'more balanced in the difficulty level, but the structure remains the same as last year, with its own strengths and its many flaws.

    An amazing way to digitally live the most important event in football, but maybe not the best choice for an all-around football videogamer.

    If it wasn't buried under countless menus and all the red tape resulting from the freemium model, Trials Frontier would be a game to recommend to friends. The gameplay of Trials Frontier is smothered by its fun-breaking structure.

    If you're a Gabriel Knight fan you shouldn't miss Moebius. It's not perfect, it would have benefited a lot from a bigger budget, but all the Jane Jensen mojo is still there.

    Cloudbuilt is based on parkour and is at times able to achieve its vision and reveals its potential. When you run, jump and cross everything, with a smooth combination, you feel free. Sadly, some control issues and the useless combat scheme tear its wings.

    Despite the reassurances from Respawn Entertainment and the clear efforts by Bluepoint Games, the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall is not really on par with the original editions: the content might be the very same, yet the performance struggles quite a bit. In other words, Titans seem apparently more at ease with orbital drops than with generational leaps.

    Even on PS4 A Realm Reborn is a great game, with the upgrade to Full HD which is especially useful for a better HUD management. The DualShock 4 is comfy enough, and the touchpad helps to navigate better the interface. The game's major issue remains the excessive lag (but it's still better than on PS3).

    A Crooked Mile is the turning point of The Wolf Among Us: plot and interaction merges together with a perfect flow, and the result is an episode that really moves in the direction given by the player. And it also concludes with a jaw dropping cliffhanger.

    Age of Wonders III is a bona fide old-school 4X. And it's also pretty good at it, even if sometimes falls in the trap of tedious, unbalanced micromanagement.

    A game that was born just six month ago as a portable adaptation of the original Arkham gameplay mechanics comes back on home consoles and PC in the form of a cheap Deluxe Edition. A commercial short circuit with no added value that should not be encouraged.

    Despite the clear efforts and a few undeniable merits (most of all the facial scan tech), Kinect Sports Rivals fails right where it should have shone: the use of the new Kinect doesn't seem that groundbreaking at all, and the title is by no means a point of no return in motion controlled gaming. With shallow gameplay and the overall lack of fun, the result can't be that exciting.

    Forest Hunt is a solid second act for Joe Dever's Lone Wolf return, thanks to a compelling story, new enemies and the diabolical Shanti's Cube challenge. Forge Reply did a great job in making smartphones and tablets the perfect platform for the revival of gamebooks.

    Goat Simulator is a little, stupidly fun indie game that you will love, even if it's well far from technical perfection.
