    Rayman Legends is one of the best platform games you can find nowadays, and this is a solid version that you can take with you wherever you are thanks to the Nintendo Switch. Having said that, there is nothing new for those who already have another version of the game.

    Solid platforming effort from Hörberg Productions, Gunman Clive HD Collection mixes the best of the Mega Man tradition with endearing visuals, a varied cast of heroes and a whimsical western setting. Its only defect is leaving us craving for more.

    Reign of the Warlock may not introduce a new act, but it lays the groundwork for a bold new era of Diablo II. Blizzard proves that revitalizing a 26-year-old classic is not only possible, but genuinely exciting.

    Ubisoft did it again. Rocksmith 2014 Edition is a great and fun way to learn how to play guitar. Learn with lessons, songs you like or the fun Guitarcade mode, it's your choice. So far, Rocksmith 2014 Edition is a great guitar teacher right in your living room.

    Shinji Mikami's masterpiece is just as we remember it, only better. Capcom did a good job overhauling the once great-looking version of the best game in the survival horror genre. We are happy with its looks, the controls, and the way it keeps relevant in today standards. Resident Evil HD Remaster is a must have for newcomers in the series and veterans alike.

    NBA 2K is back and it's bigger, stronger and better this year. Classic teams are still in the game and some teams for the Euroleague as well. MyCareer is a fun mode, but unfortunately, the Spike Lee story is a bit disappointing. Other modes like MyGM and MyTeam are back as well. Controls and gameplay are better than ever. If you love basketball, this is the game for you.

    System Shock is a masterful version that takes creative liberties without forgetting its roots or losing its way. Without a doubt, a classic that everyone should play.

    In the end, the fears were left behind, as well as the doubts, the remake of Silent Hill 2 is a very good game. A proposal that appropriately honors the original delivery and that takes the lead to keep this story more relevant than ever. The tragic fate of James, Mary, Maria, Laura, Angela and Eddie are considered eternal classics of Survival Horror and the remake reminds older generations of the reason, while introducing new players to one of the best video games in history. We cannot deny that Bloober surprises us; The result has been very good and I am happy to say that Silent Hill is back and again we will be back in that place that will feed our worst nightmares.

    A fantastic farewell for this Japanese cult classic, Farewell Umihara Kawase delivers the complex physics, amazing level design and high difficulty action of this franchise for the first time in the West. An amazing introduction to a forgotten franchise.

    Spyro Reignited Trilogy is a perfect example of what a good remake should be. Toys for Bob took everything special about the original trilogy and made it better with a fresh coat of paint. This is the definitive way of playing Spyro the Dragon.

    At the end, A Space for the Unbound is one of the best indies of the year so far. The gaming experience is pleasant, but also emotional and capable of generating some unpleasant emotions. Definitely, it's an indie game worth giving a chance, even though its story and ending may break our hearts, and the Space Dive reminds us to take care of our mind and emotions.

    Mindcop is a pleasant surprise that revitalizes the detective genre and has enough touches of originality to become a reference for those who wish to venture into this type of proposals in the future.

    Well they say that if it ain't broke you shouldn't fix it and that applies perfectly to Splatoon. All Splatoon 3 needed to be a success was to refine the already solid experience of its 2 predecessors, and it does that phenomenally well.

    FIFA 19 is the materialization of years of experience to provide a fun experience that responds to the needs of the simulation. Although some details of the physics engine will have yet to be refined, and the implementation of some game systems improved, this new installment of the series has surpassed the previous edition. With FIFA 19, the 2018-2019 season will be a great year for fans of football games and it cannot be denied that everything is going the right way.

    Nioh 3 stays true to the franchise’s roots and focuses on refining its formula to deliver its most polished, deep, and satisfying gameplay experience to date. Combat shines brighter than ever thanks to the introduction of the Ninja and Samurai styles, while exploration gains new relevance with the addition of open maps, making progression highly rewarding. Although the limited enemy variety, a boring story, and repeated elements from previous entries can create a sense of déjà vu, the game largely succeeds in its goals and stands as franchise most complete entry yet. It’s not a revolution, but rather the natural evolution many action fans were hoping for.

    Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a game that will satisfy those who have enjoyed the past 2 adventures of this coward plumber. Next Level Games took what worked in Dark Moon, combined it with the best of the first installment and let their creativity flow in other branches to deliver what I think is the best Luigi’s Mansion to day. It is a shame that its pacing is not ideal for a game of its kind, but that does not prevent it from being a high quality product.

    Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a fun and charming adventure with good level design and better movement options. Just like other Insomniac’s projects it can feel derivative and safe, but that doesn’t take away from its quality.

    Agent 47 returns in an exceptional way, thanks to an emblematic level design with dynamic gameplay mechanics. Despite minor problems, the iconic experience of the franchise is now stronger than ever.

    Mafia: The Old Country transports players to early 20th-century Sicily, following Enzo's journey from a sulfur mine worker to a rising figure in the Torrisi crime family. The game excels with its narrative design, filled with memorable characters, and authentic Sicilian soundtrack. However, the gameplay systems are basic, with rigid animations and limited exploration. Despite these drawbacks, the game's cinematic storytelling and dramatic impact make it a must-play for fans of Italian mafia thrillers. A fair price for a compelling narrative-driven experience.

    Despite an uneven evolution on and off the pitch, FIFA 18 manages to muster enough innovation and improvements to make it a worthy iteration of the franchise with a fleshed out Journey mode, the interactive transfers, and the real motion technology as its most juicy contributions. While the unbalanced action on the pitch and some abandoned modes constitute the most glaring weaknesses.

    The End is Nigh ultra precise platform challenges will make you throw you controller at the wall with frustration. Still, you will return to its charismatic, intelligent and well designed world in a masochistic loop that reminds us of its elder brother: Super Meat Boy.

    Project Cars 2 is a great racing simulator that excels in every possible way, making it hard to play and almost impossible to master. Every victory will feel like winning a championship in real life. The only downside is that using a controller is almost impossible to play, you really need to play with a racing wheel.

    Although Black Myth: Wukong is an uneven game, its strong points overshadow the negatives. It is an intense combat experience that shines brightest during numerous and challenging boss fights. However, the level design leaves much to be desired due to its clumsiness and lack of inspiration, which sharply cuts off the feeling of exploration. Despite all this, it is a challenging and recommendable game for its unique Eastern flavor.

    Gears of War: Reloaded on PlayStation 5 is a passionate celebration of everything that made the original series great. It's an unbeatable opportunity to relive a masterpiece and an invitation to belong to one of the richest universes and one of the most rewarding third-person shooter experiences of all time. Highly recommended.

    Battlefield 4 is an online multiplayer title that has something to offer to every type of player who's looking for a unique experience, and it even comes with a complimentary campaign mode that's perfect for those occasions when you're feeling a little antisocial. If you liked Battlefield 3 we can assure you that you will fall in love immediately with this renewed experience.

    LittleBigPlanet 3 is one of the biggest surprises of 2014 due to its great visuals, magnificent level design and excellent soundtrack. The creation mode keeps you busy for hours and provides countless new levels. More than a sequel, LBP 3 reimagines what the series can be and represents a good jump into the new console generation.

    Horizon Forbidden West is, in many ways, a sensational journey. You can definitely tell that Guerrilla Games listened to a lot of the criticisms Zero Dawn received and devoted themselves to fixing them. The result is a game that reinforced the strengths of its first installment and complemented them with a world that feels bursting with life, genuinely exciting combat, and small improvements that deliver an overall experience with fewer bumps in the road. Sadly, several design decisions ended up being a string that limited its potential. Forbidden West could have been a generational impact, but it will pass as just another great open-world adventure.
