    As good as we dreamed about, remade respectfully from the original games, old-fashioned but enjoyable today's gamers young and old... Activision has finally given us what everyone was asking for, and the resulting game on PS4 has all those sensations, colourful scenarios and addictive things that make it stand tall among any other platform games. The game of the summer.

    As many others have already done, Milestone must change its engine and add much more tan just a season update and more legend drivers to the official MotoGP game. Manager mode is a great addition, as well as the improved work in tracks and configurations, although this MotoGP 17 feels quite too much like last year's one and it's hard to make it worth paying its full price.

    Morrowind is a content expansion in almost every aspect, with a new character class, new PvP mode, raids and, of course, new main quests, plagued with references to the original TES III launched 15 years ago. Making it an independent expansion was a great idea, since you don't need the main game and you can still play all the content, being the perfect way to enter Bethesda Zenimax's MMORPG.

    Get Even intertwines exploration, walking simulator, shooter and easy puzzles with intense narrative that has ramifications based on decision that hooks the player. But mixing up all those mechanics without any of them being truly remarkable, several visual issues, specially taking into consideration the genre we're talking about, and its constant up and downs when it comes to gameplay hinder its value among the many nowadays competitors.

    Codemasters has managed to offer a game for both newcomers and expert drivers as well, which is a must for DiRT 4 to be really enjoyable. The learning curve is easy to handle, the game offers enough content in several styles and even though the most exigent will always want more realism, it's completely on par with the expectations.

    Telltale stays loyal to its roots to the last consequence. Although it offers some new characters, the truth is not all of them are as charismatic and the franchise isn't yet on par with the first season. Even so, A New Frontier will delight the usual Telltale fan, taking no risks in gameplay mechanics but making every choice meaningful during the final moments of the five chapters.

    Tekken 7 has continuist gameplay options, not as innovative as we would like, although fair enough to keep us entertained for several hours, with many unlockables that add layers to character customization. Bandai Namco offers the well-known gameplay mechanics of the franchise and offer new aspects like Rage moves, although it offers an unamusing story mode, and several new characters with lack of carisma and not so well designed. Franchise veterans will be the ones to fully enjoy it.

    With Star Trek: Bridge Crew, Ubisoft creates an immersive, attractive co-op experience for the TV series fan. The main problem is that, beyond Trekkies, it won't be a suitable game for anyone unaware of the Starfleet's adventures. The absence of matchmaking filters (country, language, etc) can make communication a chore among the crew.

    Rime is a poetic and inspiring adventure game, but it's also a short game and not as surprising as we had expected when it comes to gameplay mechanics. The Spanish studio has demonstrated their taste when it comes to artistic and storytelling aspects, with a soul-crushing ending that will make you remember this journey for a long time to come.

    Shadow Warrior 2 is superior than the original one, with a co-op mode as enjoyable as you would expect. It might be quite repetitive sometimes and it's hard to focus with all the mess happening at the same time, but its particular sense of humour, the possibilities when it comes to develop your character and his weaponry, as well as the risk taken offering a different shooter make Flying Wild Hog's game one to take into account for classic FPS lovers.

    Accessible, and with both online and offline co-op options, Portal Knights ends up being a little bit boring after several gameplay hours. Its visuals and RPG aspects are enough to avoid being called 'Minecraft clone', although there aren't that much innovations in this particular subgenre. Its combat mechanics are quite monotone, although it focus on developing our character and not our buildings, which is always interesting.

    Farpoint, played with the new Aim Controller, is one of the most immersive and impressive virtual reality experiences. It is expensive. This game is a step forward in feelings of translation. It's fascinating and caring in audiovisual terms. But if you're going to play with DualShock 4, what you have is a bad and generic shooter. The cooperative multiplayer is finally not special.

    Injustice 2 follows the path of previous NetherRealm games and offers a solid title, with a flashy lineup of DC characters and enough content for both single-player and multiplayer. Gear system is quite interesting, although only future will tell if it creates a schism in the community. Technically amazing, with a short but intense story mode and gameplay mechanics which are accessible but hard to master, this Gods Among Us sequel is one of the great fighting games of this generation.

    The Surge is the hidden gem of the month. It has some flaws, and its visuals might not be top notch, but its virtues surpass them. When it comes to gameplay mechanics, it's a notable game, addictive and fresh. Above average difficulty and the unique style that adds the sci-fi approach are all the reasons you have to buy them. A great candidate for this month's best sellers.

    Unlike PaRappa The Rapper Remastered, LocoRoco's 11 years of rest haven't affected the product. 4K resolution enhances lines and colours, but it's still the same PSP game, no extras or remarkable bonus apart from trophies. And at a not-so-competitive price among so many offers or PSN games.

    Arkane Studios pleasantly surprises us with a Prey that, although relatively stealthily, is one of the best games in recent months. The French studio shows that having a great plot is as important as being able to tell the story. Better pacing and controls could have made the game even better.

    Dragon of the North adds a new type of weapon, a new region, more missions, the chance to play as the female characters, new bosses and it is the prologue of what seems to be an intriguing new plotline. Perhaps it could have added more than just a big sword to offer more combat variety, although the balance of some old tricks to make things easier will force you to learn new moves in order to pass certain bosses, that's for sure.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is, plain and simple, an unfinished game. Unbelievable, unbearable loading times that do not diminish the wait if you fast-travel or respawn, constant freezing, bugs that block all your weapons and force you to start from scratch, questionable visuals... Such a shame, because underneath all that rubble, lies something that shines slightly. But, as for today, you can't play without constant frustration.

    What Remains of Edith Finch could have had a cheaper price tag and that would have reduced the negativity from critics due to its 2 hours length. But, if you agree to that $20, Giant Sparrow brings you a new way to experience walking simulators, with a straightforward, great plot that entangles you and is true poetry, taking advantage of that unique level of interaction that only videogames offer. It has a magic halo above it, and that makes it the best indie this year so far.

    We've been playing these puzzles for 30 years now, and finding them all mixed up and at a cheaper price is really attractive. Puyo Puyo Tetris has many multiplayer modes as well as single player and tutorial modes, and more content and colours than ever. The handheld attractive gets lost in this console port, that had Nintendo Switch in mind, but even so, it can become the main course in any party.

    Dragon Quest Heroes II is a muosu with enough RPG elements to make it interesting even for those who don't like the genre. The possibility to change your character mid-combo, Toriyama's trademark style, amazing special attacks and the series' characteristic sense of humour make you forget dull, empty scenarios that you won't remember once you leave them. A perfect game for those who don't know what a musou is and don't want to jump into a classic one.

    In an age with survival horror plagued with jumpscares and defenseless main characters, Outlast 2 doesn't surprise as much as the first one. It's obvious that this second entry improves in every aspect. Lengthier, more variety and balanced gameplay, in a new, country and terrifying atmosphere. But Red Barrels Studio keeps aiming for stealth and fast movement with a camera as only source of light, with some unfair or limited situations that doesn't make it a game for every player.

    This game won't surprise any RPG lovers, it's not a must. But Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom has that feeling of cornerstone for the small french studio that has dared with this IP. Its price is all you need to know if you need more colourful hours, magical plots and dungeons, with bold combat mechanics that sometimes fails and it is not that enjoyable.

    Little Nightmares is a remarkable game, focused on its gloomy atmosphere, as if taken from a gothic tale. The monsters in Six's way are things that can only be born from a kid's worst nightmare and it is really enjoyable to see how it becomes real on your screen. In reality, there isn't anything new here, but Tarsier Studios has taken all these things and added its own personality and narrates a horror tale that kept my eyes wide open during the entire experience.

    6 retro and well known games for 20 bucks. Plain and simple. The Disney Afternoon Collection brings adds enough content to be called a comeback, since these are ports of NES classics that will be especially enjoyed by those who played the original ones.

    In a year with several, important revivals such as Crash Bandicoot or Sonic, Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is another delicious, nostalgia-filled remake that allows you to play either with its original or updated visuals, and a great work in sound and artistic aspects, but with its characteristic, challenging difficulty. We want DotEmu to bring back several more games like this one.

    Starblood Arena is another way-too-expensive VR game when you take into consideration the content in offer, and that doesn't have fully functional matchmaking. A big update and free content could turn it into an exciting, competitive experience, more interesting than Rigs but with a great difference among its characters too. Wait for it to be on sale.

    Four years after its original release, Warner and TT Fusion adapt Undercover to today's platforms, staying within its roots, with its characteristic, E-Rated sense of humour and already well-known gameplay mechanics and visuals. Enjoyable, full of content and easy-going. But, as always, in need of some new ideas.

    Tequila Works and Cavalier Game Studios' joint work is an inconsistent game that highlights its artistic work and certain gameplay mechanics, but has its burdens in its less appealing controls and a really uninteresting plot. Being able to rewind time and trying to avoid crimes can lure some players, but it is an overall repetitive experience and this sort of board game doesn't amuse me as much as I would like it to.

    David Jaffe's new game has visuals that are as bizarre as they are original. Although Drawn to Death isn't the best multiplayer shooter on PS4, being part of the Instant Collection of PlayStation Plus make it more appealing. It risks becoming dead soon if it doesn't manage to establish regular players, but at least it tries to bring something different, thinking out of the box that we are used to being trapped in with online shooters these days.

    Like turning on your Nintendo 64 or your first PlayStation, time freezes and you're stuck in front of your screen for several hours of gameplay mechanics and charisma that are pure joy and in color. Yooka-Laylee is great in almost every respect, in a trip of typical worlds, backtracking with lots of jumps, trials and minigames. It's lengthy, and takes good advantage of Unity engine. Playtonic has been successful: this game evokes the best of Rare.

    From the three musical comebacks that are about to occur in PS4, PaRappa The Rapper is the least interesting due to its easy formula and how old the game is. Playing it again is a really nostalgic moment and we are thankful that Sony is bringing back all those classics, but it offers the same, minimal content of the days of yore for 15 bucks and it doesn't surprise at all anymore.

    For many people, Persona 5 is the best JRPG in years. It is a wonderful and psychological journey to the dark side of humans, with dynamic combat by turns and aesthetics that are very colorful and alive. Here you have many hours of play, activities, social links and elegance. Atlus must continue this series: it can go very far.

    The Ringed City puts an end to Dark Souls, at least by Miyazaki's hand. Feels short, but just because you want more and more. Be say goodbye to a franchise the way it deserves and look to the horizon, wishing that this is not the end of this kind of game from From Software. Praise the Sun!

    The wish to have all of the series in PS4 is way too attractive to those who still don't know what this craze is about with regard to Sora, Donald and Goofy. Kingdom Hearts is still pure Disney and Square magic, and full HD, 60fps visuals feel great, although you can skip this if you already have the PS4 remasters, since this one has no extras.

    Styx: Shards of Darkness improves on the original just enough to be interesting when it comes to gameplay mechanics, but much more in the plot aspect and character quality. Its main selling point is Styx's highly sarcastic sense of humour, but the game is not really lengthy, which weighs down the final result. A game to keep an eye on for the moment it is on sale.

    Toukiden 2 repeats the same formula from Kiwami in almost every aspect. Open world doesn't feel bad, although it isn't something you will remember for long. There's still a lack of dynamism in combat, that are almost identical to the earlier entries in the franchise, that will not surprise anyone when it comes to visuals. There is potential here, but the series needs to evolve if it wants to have international repercussion.

    BioWare doesn't take risks and reuses already known elements and mechanics and the result is a massive game with many hours of fun. Technical issues are obvious, although not so serious to burden five years of development work from a studio that has brought us great moments in the past and will keep doing it in the future. Andromeda exists to be thoroughly explored with that curiosity that fuels the Initiative. It's not perfect, but it's without a doubt enjoyable.

    LEGO Worlds has the best ideas from both survival and crafting genres and adds the characteristic humour, colour and efficiency of TT Games products.

    inXile Entertainment adapts Monte Cook's board game and brings some kind of spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment, with all its selling points focused in its charm and elaborated, deep plot. Memorable characters are waiting for you in a not so appealing turn-based combat system, more enjoyable in PC tan in consoles. It is not a game for the masses and its focus on dialogue over action make it a whole different species among RPG, only aiming for those who are already sure that they're buying it.

    Ghost Recon Wildlands is one of the most entertaining co-op experiences we've seen so far. Strong characters, solid gameplay mechanics and it also fulfills our expectations when it comes to visuals and sound. However, Ubisoft gets lost when they fill the game with generic content. This is the most wild, arcade and straightforward Ghost Recon to date, and that is both good and bad at the same time.

    NieR: Automata is another serious contender for the GOTY in a year that has just begun. Platinum Games' special touch is there, but they have kept the respect needed for Yoko Taro's unique way of storytelling. An adult plot, with complex themes and a superb soundtrack, way above the average, mark the birth of an instant classic. We just hope that the franchise, somehow, keeps on going.

    Berserk and the Band of the Hawk won't deceive anyone, nor does it try to. It's a musou where you will mostly play as Guts slaying hundreds of enemies in each phase, enjoy sequences in between missions taken directly from the anime and won't suffer from a high level of censorship, trying to pay respect to the original work. It won't get any GOTY prize, but it is an interesting game if you're looking for something different from the usual western games.

    Horizon Zero Dawn is a nice surprise because rarely is a game such as this is able to surpass expectations. It isn't just a game with a great plot; it isn't just a technical marvel; it isn't just a game with great, addictive gameplay mechanics. It is all of these things and much more. It is, above all, an Aloy that shines on its own, able to rise as the new PlayStation female hero.

    Ubisoft has managed to bring a fresh experience to the genre. It is true that we've already seen medieval themed games, but not a single one like For Honor. Solid gameplay mechanics, interesting visuals and remarkable sound effects. However, it is a shame that it lacks content, with a single player campaign that adds nothing to the experience. These lacking elements can overshadow Ubisoft's good work and bury the game before they expect.

    Sniper Elite 4 is a step back in the series. I don't think such open maps are what the game needs and the weapon customization, for some reason, has disappeared without any explanation or dignity. It's an enjoyable game, of course, but you can't expect players to buy a full-priced game just for the killcam. Maybe it's time for Fairburne to retire, or for the series to take its chances and evolve. How about a spin off in a modern warfare, as some kind of experiment?

    After Zestiria, Tales of Berseria was expected to be a step forward in this long running franchise. However, it is not.

    Digimon World: Next Order is another, different take on the digital world than the one Cyber Sleuth took. Even if we could put aside the visuals, combat mechanics are just a mistake. The only truly redeemable aspect is the digivolve, pretty comfortable, but devs can't pretend we spend all our time just looking for new digivolutions. If you want a really good, and interesting adventure, we recommend you play last year's entry.

    Of all of the HD remastered packs of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, 2.8 is probably the one with the least gameplay hours, but the one that fans will want to have the most, because of the innovative Birt By Sleep 0.2.

    Capcom brings back the best of survival horror and mixes it up with the best of today's horror, with a well implemented first person view. In the end, it is a bittersweet experience, due to the linear gameplay in its last parts and the scarce reasons you'll have to play it again once you know the ending of Ethan's story. Playing it with VR is an imposing experience, although there is still room for improvement when it comes to fully controlling it. Those who can leave prejudice aside will enjoy it, while the rest will watch it on YouTube, a perfect match for the game.

    Survival is the best way to come back to The Division after months away from it. It doesn't matter if your gear is outdated, because you will start every playthrough from scratch and the new gameplay mechanics make it all more interesting.

    Let it Die won't surprise anyone when it comes to technical aspects and its gameplay mechanics have already been seen many times. However it has that Suda51's touch and you will always want to see more from Uncle Death. The fast degradation of equipment can be pretty annoying and even so, you will always want to go a floor further. We were expecting much more after that first Lily Bergamo's teaser and we hope that Grasshopper's next game isn't a free-to-play, even though this one has unnecessary microtransactions.

    The Last Guardian lands (at last) and the years of development are more than noticeable in the final product. Fumito Ueda shows once again that games can make you feel something else and that we are, perhaps, kind of used to trivial, hollow experiences. The worst part is the camera, your main enemy during this game where Trico will be the main conduit for the feelings. A creature that you will love from the very beginning, that you will hate to split from and that will comfort you as well as make your heart shatter in pieces.

    Final Fantasy XV is going to be the most remembered game of 2016. It is really different from anything we've seen in the series so far, but really traditional at the same time. It has an obsessive respect for the fan that goes along with state-of-the-art audio-visual aspects able to bring life to a humongous map with so many things to do, so many secrets to discover and yes, some lineal, but logic parts. Controversial issues, like combat or summon mechanics are really solid once you get to the endgame, where the experience has already blossomed. Embrace its changes, the JRPG King is back.

    Killing Floor 2 sets a nice base for a game with great potential. However, TripWire Interactive has to develop that potential to its full extent in order to not let it become 'another shooter'.

    Ubisoft removes that painful thorn from its side with Watch Dogs 2, and they can boast they have a great sandbox franchise. Its not the fact that it creates anything really new, but that it improves every hack possibility, the main difference between Watch Dogs and the rest of sandbox games. What's more, the lighting, the vibrant colors that compose San Francisco, and the sass of this sequel are exactly what it needed. Add a seamless multiplayer that rewards co-op action and you have stumbled upon the best sandbox of the year.

However, it has been four years already and Dishonored 2 leaves another good impression on us due to its macabre visuals, the stunning visuals of a city much more interesting tan Dunwall and even more creative gameplay possibilities. Corvo and Emily are up to two different journeys, suggesting that Arkane Studios is a team to watch in the future.

    In order to jump even further than Black Ops III when it comes to improvement, Infinity Ward had to do a great job. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare isn't that breath of fresh air we were promised in any of its three modes, but still, it tries to do it better than the last time. Multiplayer takes no risks, using already successful formulas. The campaign keeps aiming for the showoff. The Zombies are, however, the most enjoyable part with a rearrangement of difficulty and a really interesting map. If you are one of those that buys Call of Duty every year, don't think about it: here's your dose. But if you've been avoiding the franchise for quite some time, you could probably just move along.

    Skyrim Special Edition won't bring anything new to PC, but the actual console players have the chance to rediscover one of the most relevant games in the last years. Hundreds of hours of gameplay so you can forget its obvious flaws and keep track of its gorgeous landscapes and the feeling that you can roam free wherever you want to. Not as amazing as five years ago, but still an absorbing experience.

    Titanfall 2 takes the first spot in the frantic, close-quarter scenario shooters. Respawn Entertainment has put a lot of effort in this game, clearly aiming to take the spot of the Call of Duty franchise, whose last entry will be on stores in a few days. An amazing campaign and an entertaining multiplayer.

    Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is still far from the good times Budokai or Tenkaichi brought, and keeps with what we saw in the first entry, bearing in mind the year and a half Dimps had. Many content, many characters, many missions, many fan service and many hours, that's the good point. But it is quite repetitive and it is extremely easy in most of its gameplay.

    Ashes of Ariandel is, plain and simple, disappointing. Is it bad content? Nope. Are you going to enjoy it? Most likely. Does the content justify the price? There's no doubt about this: no, it doesn't. We don't know what From Software was thinking when they decided that this could be a DLC but we really hope that the second one is better, since it will mark the ending of the series and it should be a memorable one.

    It's too soon yet to know if Final Fantasy XV will be a successful entry in the main series. But if you want to place a sure bet, World of Final Fantasy is your winning horse. Enjoyable, entertaining, classic turn-based combat system, a bunch of options when it comes to assemble your team with characters and creatures from all over the franchise... perhaps we expected a little bit more complexity from the fights, but this game holds its name very proudly.

    Fictiorama surprise us through a postapocaliptic plot that leaves no place for hope. Nice visuals and interesting puzzles make the negative aspects of the game less noticeable, and point & click fans will discover that there is room for the genre in consoles.

    Kylotonn manages to offer a better experience than 2015's game, although there are ways to improve in order to get closer to other games of the genre. Arcade and simulation together in the right measure make it an easy-to-learn game for any player, although the true fans of rally world series might be disappointed. The franchise keeps evolving, although at a really slow pace.

    Expensive, as almost every other PlayStation VR game is, and it is already a well-known one for those who already played it on any other platform. Rez Infinite is, as for now, the best game among all others launch titles for PS VR. The audiovisual experience is unique in a game that looks as if it was already thought to be a VR game back then, taking advantage of every aspect from stereoscopic and 360º vision.

    It's been 6 years since the first Skylanders and the formula starts to be quite repetitive. Even so, Imaginators is a great game for every gamer, regardless of his or her age. The toys-to-life game welcomes the already well-known loot system and character customization. Imaginators is not as interesting as SuperCharges, that added the multiplayer. Even so, it has magic in it: it brings back Crash Bandicoot and Neo Cortex.

    DICE takes aim with Battlefield 1 and it ends up being a jackpot. It couldn't be a better game taking into consideration the limitations imposed due to the game taking place during WWI. It offers some of the best maps ever seen in the franchise. Tons of charisma for a franchise that stands tall against the dictatorship of sci-fi and double jump.

    In this experiences theme park which is PlayStation VR there are better shows than this horror train mixed with shooting that is Until Dawn: Rush of Blood. If you keep up with its own low expectations and its average duration, it can be enjoyable yet scary, even more if you pay it with two PS Move controllers.

    Mafia's return is a bittersweet one. On one hand, there are several visual issues that burden the game, and the feeling of being an errand boy completing repetitive missions is always there. On the other hand, Hangar 13 ha created a world with its own personality, a really interesting city and the soundtrack selection is superb. The adult, violent and vengeance-themed plot is another remarkable point.

    DriveClub VR should have been a free update of the original with less content. Many vehicles, each of them state of the art, some new tracks and easy to learn controls so anyone and everyone can drive. But that's it - every other positive aspect of the original is lost along the way, leaving only just an experience or test field.

    RIGS is only for players who don't feel dizzy while using the VR headset. The game lacks content when it comes to maps and modes, and isn't that good while playing offline. It is, however, a deep and demanding game, as well as really addictive and has the greatest verticality we've seen since Titanfall.

    The best game PlayStation VR has to showoff at its launch. A perfect demo compilation that should have been free to download to any player who has spent $400 or more in this new gadget. Perhaps it was the initial plan, because it runs short with its 5 variations although serves the purpose to foreshadow what we could see in the future.

    As many other nowadays VR games, Batman Arkham VR makes us dream of the greatness to come, or what it could have been. It's a first step to look at puzzles from another angle, although it's too easy, it doesn't take advantage of its own ideas ant it is an expensive game when you think about the price-length ratio.

    Rise of the Tomb Raider will go down in history for being a Triple A game with production values worth of a TV series. Every good aspect of the game are the same ones that made Tomb Raider (2013) a superb game, and it is still as enjoyable as it was back then. It is a must if you like action and adventure games and you will like it even with the lack of new mechanics.

    XCOM 2 launches on PS4 with the same strength and virtues as its PC counterpart did less than a year ago. It's an evolution of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, but with a harmony in each of every new mechanic that further enhances the positive aspects of the first game. A must for every strategy, turn based combat fan out there.

    Variable State's first game is an experiment in the storytelling field, using the cinematographic language as its plot axis. For most players it will be hard to swallow, although it rewards those daring to enter its depths, resembling successful shows like Twin Peaks. Perhaps the dream sequences are the least interesting part of the game, although it is a breath of fresh air.

    Rise of Iron is, literally, just more of Destiny. If Destiny has kept you entertained so far, you will like this new piece of content, but don't expect great things when it comes to new mechanics. Maybe it has the burden of The Taken King, that put the aim quite high, but Rise of Iron leaves us wanting more. Bungie has to add new content if they want to make us play a few more months.

    FIFA 17 takes a step forward and finally offers a Story Mode that becomes a must for the franchise from now on. The enhancements in the offensive AI translates into a better spectacle than last year, and Frostbite's influence on physics and collision gives us unexpected and new situations in each fight for the ball. Ultimate Team is improved once again, and its only burden is the lack of improvements in other modes, although this game reinvents the franchise once again.

    Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness won't win a GOTY prize. It's entertaining and that's all. Even though we have reviewed the game in its PS4 version, it's the perfect product for PS Vita, specially manga fans, obviously. It's hard to talk about it as a game when it's not, but it's an interesting product for Psycho-Pass fans.

    Konami takes no risk at all with PES 2017 and just enhances what we saw in the last entry of the franchise in order to make just a better game. It's really enjoyable, similar to what we saw in PES 5 and PES 6. However, there aren't enough innovation when it comes to game modes, and the scarce licenses aren't enough to make Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 the ultimate soccer game of the year.
