    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.

    A triumph of raw substance over style, Legends of Eisenwald constantly wins over the heart of the RPG connoisseur despite its incompleteness thanks to its deep battle system and well crafted adventures. A great game for strategy experts.

    Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward represents a fairly large expansion of the world of Eorzea with huge and rich environments for the players to explore. Heavensward continues the story of the Warrior of Light in a rich and somber tone, focusing in solving the conflict rather than wasting your time with trivial quests.

    Payday 2: Crimewave Edition offers solid and entertaining cooperative action. It is best played with like-minded friends that are willing to interact, communicate and orchestrate heists. Sadly though, the progression system demands a heavy time investment in order to unlock weapons, which may be an impediment to some players.

    Unlike other entries in the LEGO series, such as LEGO Batman, in LEGO Jurassic World, collectable characters are irrelevant, there are just a few zones were you can actually use your dinosaurs and they lack activities. Bottom line, this game works better as a souvenir than a videogame.

    Rocksteady says farewell to the franchise with an utter masterpiece; its best game so far. Each element feels like a love letter to fans and to Batman himself. Batman: Arkham Knight is the perfect conclusion to an excellent saga, and it departs in the same way it once came: leaving us amazed and with great satisfaction.

    Massive Chalice is a fun and simple turn based strategic game, but not quite as engaging as the XCOM games it tries to be.

    The timeless classic finally gets the treatment it deserves. This edition may seem a little unnecessary for some players, but the improvements, tweaks and new characters were a duty long past due for this action gem.

    Heroes of the Storm successfully brings innovation to a stale genre dominated by 2 giants. Its bare-bones mechanics make it a truly fun game to play, from the beginning of a match to the very end.
