    Endless Ocean Luminous is a title for those who seek a peaceful experience in a place filled with marine life, where the secrets of the ocean can be discovered in an interactive and educational way. Sadly, the game lacks options that could have made it more enjoyable and focused exclusively on exploration that can be too relaxed and at times even very repetitive.

    Metal Gear Survive is a strange and unique mix. On one hand it’s an interesting survival game, on the other it’s a merge of Sci-Fi elements with a shoehorned political plot and dull characters. The game has some genuinely fun and intense moments, but its mechanics and stiff controls sometimes make the experience unnecessarily difficult. Despite all of this the game can be quite rewarding and keeps you in a state of urgency that can be really fun.

    Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League lives up to its name and shoots itself in the foot with repetitive mission design, a very chaotic combat, microtransactions and an overwhelming loot system. While the Task Force X villains are very charismatic, they are unable to rescue a generic game. The worst part is that it doesn't do justice to the legacy of Batman: Arkham.

    Even though Gates to Infinity presents a striking 3D world and a nice cast of Pokémon, the game experience suffers from tedious and simple dungeon design, and a childish and boring story.

    A boring and uninspired platformer hindered by baffling decisions like the ever-annoying stage roulette, Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash is, without doubt, the worst entry in the series. Avoid it.

    Mario Party the Top 100 is a missed opportunity. The idea of bringing together the best of the series in a game was good but it has been poorly executed with lack of motivation to return to play. The almost complete absence of the classic board game fun is an incomprehensible decision.

    Another generic title from Dimps, Soldiers' Soul has little to offer that hasn't been seen before, but the Latin American localization really takes this to another level for the numerous fans from those regions. Apart from that, little to no novelties and a recycled storyline signify little more than mediocrity for this game.

    A blend between Dark Souls and Wind Waker, Necropolis is a game with excellent intentions but glaring faults: lack of variety, slow combat and too little content. A nice attempt to capitalize on gaming latest trends, but ultimately a disappointment.

    The Inpatient has very good moments of immersive horror and high production values. On the other hand a bad history, irrelevant characters, imprecise controls and almost nonexistent game mechanics leave us with a forgettable VR experience.

    Without a story or a proper introduction, Wasteland Workshop feels a bit thin. The traps and the arena concepts are fun, but everything else gets lost in the already complex repertoire and, in the end, the whole package seems disjointed. Good thing this DLC is a cheap one.

    Anthem struggles to deliver an engaging and ongoing experience to return and grind every day. Even if you manage to look above its flaws, like underwhelming loot design, mission structure and rigid combat, there is little joy to be found in this game.

    Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness is one hell of a role playing game with complex mechanics unlike those of a regular JRPG. The main issue is that the narrative is quite predictable and the story as a whole feels uninspired. The presentation, on the other hand, is great and will help the player feel comfortable while playing this game.

    Its gameplay may be solid but Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is a very weak package that lacks campaign or training modes. You can't help but feel that this was rushed to fill a gap in the Wii U's release calendar for this Christmas. The multiplayer component could at least give some hours of fun to those players looking for a challenge with the best of the best.

    In some ways, One Piece: World Seeker is an exciting adventure that makes you feel inside an official OVA. Sadly, it has a poor combat system and an outdated mission design that makes you forget everything it does right.

    Attractio may seem like a Portal rip off with very bad story, but fans of the genre may also appreciate it for its simple mechanics and affordable price.

    Kyn
    Kyn is a strategic game that draws inspiration from RPG's like Pillars of Eternity, and monster slaying action elements from Diablo III. The problem with such mix is that it fails to innovate the core essence of the original games due to many technical difficulties and programming bugs. What is left is the free attribute system for characters which is not enough to captivate and engage the player.

    God Mode offers an easy way to kill some time. Combat is fun and the narrator's sarcastic voice really helps to tie the experience together, although you might not feel compelled to play it for more than a few hours.

    Rather than a game for the hardcore Pokémon enthusiast, Pokémon Rumble World feels like it was made for a casual fan that likes the beat'em up elements of the series better than its RPG traits. The other issue with Pokémon Rumble World lies in its graphical presentation, more akin to the first 2009 release than to a modern game. Something should be done about it.

    Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris had the potential to be a standout game with a dynamic battle system and good RPG mechanics. However, the pacing is agonizingly slow and has unforgivable technical issues. Sadly, it’s only recommended for fans of the series or players with maximum patience.

    More of an amateur programming exercise than an actual game, Hunter's Legacy, a Metroidvania without a single slope, pales in comparison with almost every game of the genre in the past 30 years.

    A notable improvement over its predecessor, Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson offers a nice mix of visual novel with intense hack n' slash action, tons of content, great fan-service, AR experiences and online interaction. A great ecchi game.

    The charm of the Mario Party series was always bringing together a group of people in front of the T.V, to spend an enjoyable time going through boards and minigames. Island Tour, however, restricts that fun to the players by being a portable version. It's a title that disguises the features of other Mario Party games and offers them like they were new. It's a boring party with a serious lack of modes and online multiplayer.

    Kirby Battle Royale has well designed party minigames but its campaign is repetitive and disappointing. If you have friends to play it you’ll enjoy the madness of the battle but the whole game feels like an extra of past Kirby games and not as a full priced 3DS title.

    A good attempt to bring competitive multiplayer to Xbox LIVE Arcade. With qualities like weapon customization or the possibility to modify every aspect of your character, this game falls short of becoming one prominent example of its genre. Maybe in the future the developers will include more weapons and new maps, but in the mean time this game is fun but doesn't offer anything new.

    Call at Arms' main problem seems to be its 1000 MS Points price, which will get you 3 new maps, a few unsurprising skins and the Master at Arms game mode.

    FOAMSTARS has some fun elements and offers some frenetic, chaotic and exciting matches, but it also lacks creativity, identity and shame with one of the most abusive microtransactions we’ve seen.

    Far from fixing some of the endgame problems with Destiny 2, Curse of Osiris gave us a disappointing campaign, brief contents and mediocre activities.

    Unfortunately, we are facing a completely forgettable game. With a story mode that has many pacing problems, the experience becomes annoying really fast. It may be enjoyed by anime fans.
