    Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an unusual success story that leaves us with an important message: in this day and age, a large amount of players can —and will enjoy— a complex game that doesn’t hold you back. We loved every second: getting lost in Bohemia sprawling forests, riding horseback on green prairies, bleedin in the thick of combat and getting stuck between some odd bushes. Kingdom Come: Deliverance it’s a game we can recommend, with caution due its numerous rough edges.

    Maybe Double Helix didn't choose the best model to bring back this beloved Franchise to life, but they certainly did a great job maintaining everything that fans loved from the original game. Killer Instinct fans shouldn't let this game pass without, at least, trying it.

    Wargroove takes the best of Advance Wars and mix it with some new things that allows it to stand by itself. It is a genuinely fun game with its own personality.

    Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is a fairly faithful remake that evokes nostalgia with charm, color, and a striking appearance. This is what happens when a remake is made with the heart, and it goes as a highly recommended experience for fans of the saga or the action and adventure genre.

    Injustice 2 has everything a sequel should have: the return of the features that seduced the fans in the first place; new ways for gamers to submerge even deeper into the title; and an overall improvement of the visual front. If you loved Injustice, you are a fan of DC and you are looking for a medium to hard fighting experience, then Injustice 2 is perfect for you.

    The introduction of kids to the formula, improves the experience a bit and, as a whole, This War of Mine: The Little Ones remains an original take on the subject of war. It would've been good if 11 bit studios made some changes to the UI in order to make it more friendly on consoles, though.

    TrackMania Turbo is a robust and very challenging arcade-racing experience for everybody, not just racing veterans. Players will find a highly addictive gameplay with a competent variety of challenges and game modes. Recommended for veterans and newcomers alike.

    Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a generous game. The additions feel solid and the improvements to the game modes give new possibilities to the player; however, it is hard to decide if all this justifies the extra money you will have to pay when compared to its predecessor.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice shows everyone once again why the graphic novel genre is underrated. The narrative's quality and the twists and turns during the court sessions are immersive and put genuine pressure on the 3DS users. The new mechanics and defeating prosecutors while demonstrating why justice prevails are some of the arguments that still put Phoenix Wright among the best Capcom franchises in existence.

    A year after releasing on PlayStation 4, Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is now on Nintendo Switch as a solid adaptation that compensates for a slight graphic downgrade with portability.

    Garden Warfare succeeds at replicating the enjoyable nature of the franchise. It pays great attention to detail, with well-designed and well-implemented game modes that will be fun for gamers of all ages and skill levels.

    Much more than a simple Musou-styled tie-in title, Dragon Quest Heroes is a love letter to the fans of this JRPG saga and a proof that the right mechanics can add depth and variety to an stagnant genre. Also, the graphics and sound are truly fantastic. A truly commendable effort.

    With Advanced Warfare, Sledgehammer succeeds at something we thought impossible at this point: adding freshness to a washed-out formula, without breaking it. This is the best Call of Duty in years; it looks better, it plays great, and sounds amazing, even when it remains the same experience we've learned to expect. The real question now is if Treyarch and Infinity Ward will be able to emulate the same passion and creativity of Sledgehammer.

    400 Days is an experience that no fan of the first season of The Walking Dead should miss. Although it's a shorter experience and lacks the same intensity, drama and shocking moments of Lee's and Clementine's story, it maintains that unique concept and freedom to decide the fate of the characters and those around them.

    Despite the fact that Her Story barely qualifies as a game, it has a lot to offer, especially when it comes to narrative; having said that, it won't satisfy all tastes, it is a game for the ones looking to be amazed.

    Even though it doesn’t shake things up too much, The Frozen Wilds is a worthy expansion that is fun to explore. The DLC adds a new story, several side-quests and lots of challenges that will entertain veterans and newcomers alike.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is an unexpected but welcomed sequel to a beloved franchised that hasn’t aged particularly well. So, is it worth playing? Thankfully yes. By taking the best of what made the series great in the first place, Team Ninja and Marvel Games made a solid action RPG that fans of the genre will have a lot of fun with. Marvel fans will also like Marc Sumerak's work of creating an interesting story that stands on its own. Sadly, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 rough edges will draw it away from perfection and aspects such as camera problems, poor AI and a very simple puzzle design can't be overlooked. The good thing is that it won't stop you from enjoying it.

    Despite its flaws, It Takes Two is a special and highly polished game. It is full of surprises, new mechanics and a lot of heart. A must play for fans of co-op games.

    It’s a miracle that Travis Touchdown is back in Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. With great writing and addictive gameplay, the series makes an epic comeback in game that we hope is just a taste of what’s to come.

    Quantum Break is clever and fun, but it falls a bit short of the expectations that its long development process and robust marketing campaign created. The TV show felt uninspired and the decision-making was not as transcendent as we would have liked. The game is good, just not a revolution.

    New characters, replays and daily challenges are welcome additions to the Pokken Tournament Definitive Edition. The game fits well in the Nintendo Switch library and feels comfortable as an on-the-go experience.

    FIFA 15 takes two steps forward and one step back in almost every component of the game. The presentation is as sleek as ever, but it still lacks some realism in terms of gesture and animation. Tactical accessibility, on the other hand, came at the expense of thoroughness, and mobility feels more realistic but also heavier. Despite all of this, FIFA 15 remains the deepest, most addictive and fun football experience out there.

    Sunset Overdrive is, without a doubt, a refreshing experience thanks to its fun mechanics and accessible gameplay. Breaking the fourth wall to address the player directly almost the whole time is its backbone and even when comparisons won't be in short supply, the incredible presentation, humor and addictive parkour will establish Sunset Overdrive as a must have game for every Xbox One owner.

    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon's campaign is too short and lacks challenge, but it makes up for those shortcomings with an over-the-top production, hilarious characters and dialogue, and enough fun to leave you asking for more.

    Skylanders SuperChargers is a lot of fun. It’s a simple yet magnificent looking game that displays effort in its production, despite its annual release cycle. The only complaints gravitate around the unimaginative use of the portal of power, some uncomfortable camera angles and the unavoidable feeling of playing an incomplete product unless you invest in further items.

    By adding some RPG systems, Assassin’s Creed: Odysseys builds upon everything that Origins did right to create one of the best entries of the series. However, the game has some issues like boring romance options and poor AI. Despite that, Odyssey got us excited for the future of the franchise.

    Gravity Rush 2 is an excellent game with a well-told story and interesting characters. There are a ton of things to do with 27 main missions and more than 40 side quests that are imaginative and well thought. This game surpasses its predecessor by far with a very large world made up of floating islands that is way bigger and more beautiful than you might think. Gameplay is satisfying but not without its flaws. There is no lock-on system so sometimes you end up disorientated mid fight and you’ll mainly use one attack for most of the battles. In spite of this flaws the game is engaging and a lot of fun. You can almost feel the care and attention the developers put into it.

    Star Wars Outlaws is an epic journey worth living. It's an adventure that not only captures all those elements that have made Star Wars one of the most beloved franchises in all of entertainment, but also feels like a new era for Ubisoft. After several content bloated releases and a tired formula, it delivers a journey that lasts as long as it needs to and replaces tedious mechanics with systems that reward you for doing what matters most: having fun.

    A well presented anthological compilation of the NES blue bomber classics, Mega Man Legacy Collection is a fine package for the retro enthusiast, even if it lacks some ulterior and crucial entries of this franchise. A fine deal for the enthusiast and the long time fan.

    Yes it is hard as nails, and yes it has some weird moments when it comes to animations, but anyone who invests a few hours into EA Sports UFC will find a deeply gratifying and fair sports experience. A must have for any MMA fan, not so much for anyone who looks for an easy win. EA Sports UFC demands dedication but that isn't a bad thing.
