God Eater 2: Rage Burst feels like a game that was made in a rush with no real purpose, instead of having a great story to tell, giving the player simple mechanics, nice pacing and an easy to understand character development. Because of all this the game clearly comes across as something you should not play. Give it a chance if you really love the franchise or did not play God Eater Resurrection, otherwise, just wait for it to change its price tag.- LevelUp

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.- LevelUp

Blizzard Entertainment delivers a masterful crafted world, filled with details and groundbreaking changes to the long lived epic fantasy franchise.

A lethargic, dismal experience, Federation Force is not the franchise-killing disaster most make it out to be, but it definitely isn't worth your time at all.- LevelUp

An strategic title of excellence, Grand Kingdom delivers a deep, complex and challenging experience with tons of content and an active combat system that will keep you busy for months. Very recommended.- LevelUp

The King of Fighters is back to claim its place as one of the most beloved fighting series of all time. Sadly though, it keeps using the same formula without even trying to innovate the core mechanics of the franchise which will only bring back the veteran enthusiasts instead of appealing to new generations. Quantity is not the same as quality and having a lot of characters on the roster won't make up for issues like a bad netcode or horrible 3D graphics.- LevelUp

Rhythm Heaven Megamix may not look like other flashy rhythm games, but its simplistic presentation and gameplay mechanics work really well. Thanks to its many composers, the music selection feels diverse, despite focusing only on the pop genre. Overall, it is a great game for new comers and serves as a collection of greatest hits for the players that follow the series since its inception on the NDS.- LevelUp

F1 is back and stronger than ever. With a brand new campaign mode, a new start racer dynamic and different time of the day races, F1 2016 is by far, the best F1 simulator available.- LevelUp

Madden NFL 17 is not a revolutionary iteration of the series, but it polishes the finer details of an already well-rounded experience instead. In other words, Madden NFL 17 is like the New England Patriots: they deliver year in and year out but that isn't precisely fresh or surprising.- LevelUp

Flawed and outclassed, but still keeping the compelling elements that define the Deus Ex experience, Mankind Divided is a competent but lackluster effort that is outshined by its predecessor, by the original and by current competitors.- LevelUp

An amazing technical feat but a shell of a game in most respects, No Man's Sky excels at atmosphere and world-generation but its core mechanics are commonplace and unexciting as they come. Good, but not extraordinary by any means.- LevelUp

A competent run 'n gun that doesn't bring anything new to the table, MilitAnt is a commendable effort in terms of mechanics and progression but falls a little short in terms of presentation, music and action.- LevelUp

This is a colorful metroidvania game. It's a shame that the level design is just as subpar and frustrating as the enemies in the game itself. The art direction is also a strange mix of 2D and 3D elements that ends up feeling inconsistent. A good effort but there are much better games in the genre.- LevelUp

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.- LevelUp

An exquisite homage to the likes of Ghosts n' Goblins, Tiger Road, Willow and other 80s classics, Maldita Castilla takes old-school design to the next level and dares to amend some of the flaws of the old masters. A triumph of authenticity, good design and challenge.- LevelUp

Despite some serious design flaws, a few bugs and a neglected presentation, Kerbal Space Program remains as a unique proposition for young astronomers, sci-fi fans and space enthusiasts out there. The sheer amount of content, the level of realism, the scope and depth of the game offset the shortcomings but just barely. The port could've been so much better, though.- LevelUp

God Eater Resurrection is a good title with solid game mechanics that hunting game fanatics may enjoy for hours. The problem is the narrative way the story is told and like other similar games, becomes really repetitive and sometimes you feel like you are going nowhere. Its new features, art and overall presentation make God Eater Resurrection an enjoyable product.- LevelUp

I Am Setsuna was created as an RPG from the 16-bit era. It does not have beautiful settings or long cut-scenes, but instead it brings back the old-school narrative and traits that 90s games used to stand out for: power of choice, solid gameplay, a nice soundtrack and unforgettable moments the player will always remember. I Am Setsuna is a title that gamers who played Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VI will forever love due to the nostalgia factor behind it.- LevelUp

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.- LevelUp

An exceptional exercise on design purity, VIDEOBALL is a virtual sport that takes inspiration from the origin of videogames themselves to expand the possibilities laid by classics such as Spacewar!, Pong, Asteroids and more; however, despite its undeniable pedigree and elegance, and its generous content, it somehow lacks some excitement and addictiveness. Remarkable, but still a little short of videogame perfection.- LevelUp

Monster Hunter Generations may not be a direct sequel to the Monster Hunter series, but it serves as a celebration to all the hunters that started with the series 10 years ago instead. The complexity of the game is still there, the gigantic monsters too, but the new mechanics are the main attraction of this portable title that looks amazing on a brand new 3DS. In the end, fans of the hunting video game category will feel grateful that Capcom keeps doing great Monster Hunter Games.- LevelUp

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven is a game with an overall good presentation. The graphics and music set the tone for something spectacular and formidable. Sadly though, uninspired gameplay mechanics and a very stupid artificial intelligence turn the whole experience dull. Playing with other users may help, but that does not fix the minor flaws that prevent this from being a good JoJo's game.- LevelUp

Umbrella Corps is a great idea with really poor development and a lousy execution. Somebody should have checked the game twice before release, because the mechanics and gameplay are absolutely awful. The only mode that could keep you relatively engaged would be the single player mode because the multiplayer front is completely deserted.- LevelUp

A solid re-take on the classic Pac-Man concept, now with infinite scrolling levels and extra-glitchyness. Despite having multiplayer and free skins on consoles and PC, the game feels repetitive and samey. If you are looking for a more interesting modern variation of Pac-Man, you are better off with the Championship Edition.- LevelUp

Once again the people behind this series deliver a mediocre game that feels as if it was developed to fulfill a commitment instead of being made to please fans from Sonic and Mario with a great experience they would enjoy. The multiplayer component can be fun at times, but not enough for a lasting experience.- LevelUp

Just when you thought LEGO games could not get any better, TT Games tries something new and simple to improve the basic game mechanics, delivering a fresh Star Wars game that fans from all ages will enjoy. It may have some silly moments that were supposed to be serious, but remember, this is a LEGO game and it's supposed to be funny. Just enjoy a ride that will take you to a galaxy far away.- LevelUp

Original, thoughtful, aesthetically pleasing and dark, Inside offers cool puzzles, a deep and meaningful context and a unique experience that every gamer should play. The only imperfection is a premature ending that stops Inside from developing all of its potential.- LevelUp

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.- LevelUp
