    Mad Max could have been epic; it looks great and it can be so much fun at times, but it falls short of greatness due to an unimaginative structure.

    Massive, complex, challenging, deep, ambitious and innovative, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is more than a mere video game, it's a life devoted to the medium. A game for the ages.

    The ultimate creation tool, Super Mario Maker is the dream of many, with an elegant, easy to use interface and countless possibilities even if a little impaired by its dosed content and by some limitation to your creative choices. The best creation utility Nintendo has ever sold.

    Tearaway Unfolded may not surpass its predecessor when it comes to quality, but it definitely does when it comes to contents and the way it taps into the qualities of the platform to achieve a level of interaction with the player that is rarely seen.

    SMITE is the first MOBA ever to perform great on console. Definitely, the third person perspective is what the genre needed to excel in home systems and controller schemes, which represents a breath of fresh air on Xbox One.

    The definitive version of SAO's videogame adaptation, Re: Hollow Fragment suffers from an identity crisis being on PS4, but shines overall with its loyalty to the series and its visual novel elements.

    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.

    Draft Champions and the improved passing game confirm Madden NFL 16 as one of the best sporting experiences out there. Having said that, this is not the revolutionary title it was last year.

    Until Dawn is fun and will keep you on the edge of your seat, but it is also a one-off experience. The game has its flaws but it delivers, because it doesn't try to revolutionize the industry, only to satisfy horror movie fans with silly lines, stereotypes and above all else, jump scares that will make you laugh out of nerves.

    Fun, challenging and fresh even so many years after the original release, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition shows everyone how to do a proper remaster of a beloved video game. Newcomers and veterans alike will love this. A truly Ultimate Edition.

    Despite its excellent graphics and animations, Beyond Eyes is just a piece of software; one that feels more like a technical demo than a game, properly speaking.

    The best hacking simulation videogame to date, Hacknet leaves us wanting more of its honest and detailed portrayal of the hacking underworld. Without a doubt, is the greatest (legal) hacking experience available.

    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.

    The lack of revolutionary game design turns this into a hard-to-swallow experience without the appropriate mindset. An interesting effort nonetheless.

    A solid roguelike space shooter with sleek anime style, Galak-Z: The Dimensional is a dashing mix of old arcade challenge and modern design traits. A highly recommendable indie game.

    Despite its depth and good looks, Nom Nom Galaxy falls victim to repetitive mechanics, frustrating mobility and slow progression. Fortunately, this soup is cheap enough as to seduce you if you love factories or robots.

    A great premise, although not an equally great game, Spooky's House of Jumpscares makes for a fascinating experience of cute horror that doesn't fall flat.

    While adding great purchase value to the mix is something we love, in the end the poor Xbox 360 emulation and other technical problems hinder an otherwise great pack of classic games.

    A new low for the series, Five Nights at Freddy's 4 is a poor effort in almost every respect, an exercise in mediocrity better suited for YouTube than for an actual playthrough.

    An exercise in tedium, Farming Simulator 15 has a very laudable compromise with the recreation of agriculture, but its problematic progression, poor presentation and general dullness detract from its genuine potential as the best simulator on the subject.

    This War of Mine represents the living proof that it is possible to make an intelligent depiction of war without necessarily compromising the entertainment value or the mechanics involved in a good game.

    This first attempt from Codemasters to bring the F1 Championship to the next-gen consoles lacks a better carreer mode and they absolutely need to fix the multiplayer. If you enjoy only driving without caring for a more in depth carreer mode, you should give this a try, because the simulation is the only good thing about this game.

    Destroying cities and fighting other Kaijus is fun at first, but the joy Godzilla offers vanishes in a couple of gaming sessions. Godzilla was created for the fans, but at some point the development took a turn for the worse and it ended up turning into a game that would've been better on mobile.

    A competent isometric roguelike, Victor Vran innovates in mechanics and character progression but suffers a little because of poor variety and insufficient content.

    Legions of Steel is a recreation of the classic tabletop game from the 90s. It excels at conveying the original feel of the game thanks to its well implemented mechanics. At its core, Legions of Steel is a tactical turn-based action experience that rewards the top quality strategist. It may display a simplistic appearance, but Legions of Steel is a challenge for veterans of the genre.

    A visual revamp of the original title, the Remastered edition of God of War III adds little to the package. However, it's a great game even by modern standards. Fans and newcomers will enjoy the great combat thanks to the new resolution and constant frame rate.

    It may not be the best-looking MMORPG out there and its social tools could use some serious work, but in the end, The Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel Unlimited offers an intuitive and competent experience for console gamers and Skyrim fans alike.

    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.

    J-Stars Victory VS+ is a love letter to manga and anime fans, specifically those who enjoy Weekly Shonen Jump. True fans of the genre will find the story mode entertaining as well as the references to many renown franchises, while outsiders are left with nothing of interest at all.
