    Life is Strange
    As you would expect from a point and click game, almost the complete value of Life is Strange resides on its narrative. There are a few moments in which gameplay takes center stage, but it ends up being crushed by the intensity of the story and the development of the characters. Having said that, in order to really enjoy the experience, you better play the complete game, as it is getting better with each chapter.

    Toro
    The first 3D simulator of bullfighting. The hideous presentation and repetitive mechanics of Toro greatly hinder what could have been a great game because of its mostly solid foundations. Frankly, a pretty bad defense for such a polemic practice.

    Sayonara UmiharaKawase
    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.

    Wasteland 2: Director's Cut
    Wasteland 2: Director's Cut is an old school CRPG experience like no other available right now in the console market. It is unforgiving, deep and liberating. Turn-based RPG fans will be delighted with Wasteland 2 and shouldn't miss its release.

    Yoshi's Woolly World
    A very easy but nonetheless fun game, Yoshi's Woolly World has an impressive visual style paired with some great ideas. Unfortunately, the lack of challenge, some frustrating levels and its short ambitions hinder this creative game.

    Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash
    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.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone
    Another high quality entry from CD Projekt RED, Hearts of Stone keeps the tone and essence of The Witcher but gives a very interesting twist to the "stoic monster hunter finds that humans are the true monsters" framework of the saga. Also, Shani will rekindle the heart of true fans. A fantastic effort worth your money.

    Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul
    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.

    Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below
    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.

    NBA 2K16
    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.

    Rock Band 4
    Rock Band 4 is, by no means, the best entry in the series. It has a limited set list and many of its trademarks were either omitted or diluted. Having said that, Harmonix improved the most important aspect: gameplay. The Freestyle Solos and a more social mode enhance the experience, making it deeper, and safeguarding the legacy of the franchise.

    Transformers: Devastation
    The best Transformers game ever made, Devastation is a fast paced hack 'n' slash experience that will be the joy of the nostalgic with its eighties look and VHS aesthetics, but will also conquer the hardcore gamer with a relentless challenge, tons of collectibles and replayability. Pure Platinum goodness.

    Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth - Rising Tide
    Civilization: Beyond Earth - Rising Tide is a mixed bag: it is an expansion that fails to meet the standards of its classic counterpart; however, it adds much needed improvements to water combat and diplomacy. Recommended for completionists more than for newcomers, who should stick with Civilization V and its expansions.

    Armikrog
    A bit of a disappointment, Armikrog fails to surpass or even match the magic of The Neverhood due to repetitive puzzles, broken interfaces and a lackluster story. At least Armikrog brings more TenNapel visual goodness to compensate.

    Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
    Adorable, but lacking in depth, Happy Home Designer is funny and charming, but ultimately fails to provide motivation and challenge for the player.

    Might & Magic: Heroes VII
    Deeply flawed, Might & Magic Heroes VII rests on solid foundations but ultimately ruins them with horrible performance, game-breaking bugs and poor presentation.

    Skylanders SuperChargers
    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.

    Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition
    With the addition of Star Wars to the mix, Disney Infinity 3.0 becomes a fresher experience for those in search of family games. However, the lack of polish becomes more notorious with each year that passes, showing that the annual schedule of the franchise is taking a serious toll on the overall presentation.

    Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection
    The three Uncharted titles are still as fun as ever, but now they are more enjoyable at 1080p and 60fps. Bluepoint Games also added a few new game modes and graphical enhancements. All in all, this is a great package, but we find the lack of multiplayer somewhat disappointing.

    Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson
    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.

    SOMA
    SOMA is a great psychological horror experience that sci-fi enthusiasts should not miss for the world. It’s a philosophical, deep, and well written story that encourages players to think and explore as they descent into the abyss.

    Undertale
    A mesmerizing emotional trip, Undertale is an indie prodigy full of whimsical humor, battle system innovations and deep moral decisions, even if it feels underdeveloped at some points. You will not be the same after you play it.

    FIFA 16
    FIFA 16 doesn’t reinvent the wheel and needs to refresh its visuals but still, the addition of female soccer players with its own physics on top of the adjustments made on the pitch and to the career modes, make it a better game without a doubt.

    Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows
    Well done, endearing and completely free, this new expansion of Shovel Knight fulfills the Kickstarter promises of Yacht Club Games in an spectacular fashion, presenting us the charming pair of Plague Knight and Mona in an adventure full of comedy and charm that honours the name of indie gaming.

    Goat Simulator: Mmore Goatz Edition
    You shouldn’t expect anything from this game; it is fairly common to run into camera issues and problems with the controls. It is filled with technical mishaps that we are supposed to understand as a joke, but in the end, they take a very real toll on the overall experience. This game will be an amusing joke for some, but for the rest it won’t be a funny one.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2016
    PES 2016 sets the franchise on the right track. However, after so many years, PES Productions is still unable to correct those issues that, historically, have hampered the experience such as the lack of licenses and some hiccups in terms control responsiveness and pass precision.

    Gunman Clive HD Collection
    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.

    Forza Motorsport 6
    With 460 cars and 26 tracks, Forza Motorsport 6 brings the big guns to "the best simulation game of the year" competition. Rain is the newest addition to the series, and it's great. You have double the cars than Forza 5 and a lot more tracks, but sadly, the simulation is almost the same.

    One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3
    A generic Musou but a great adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's work, Pirate Warriors innovates little in mechanics and has a cumbersome progression, but it compensates a little with massive content and lots of nods to the fans. A regular effort.
