Don't be fooled by the looks of it. Behind the delicate and beautifully handcrafted visuals lies a truly hardcore experience, built on top of intense mechanics. You will scream, cheer, and curse as you progress through the cleverly designed platform puzzles with their exquisite soundtrack. Ori and the Blind Forest is a must-have experience for this season on Xbox One.- LevelUp

The fact that this is the "new" version of a last-gen iteration doesn't suffice when you realize it only adds 2 poorly developed characters and a couple of recycled scenarios. If you are a fan of the series and you are looking to play the game in the current generation of consoles, this is the version you need, just bear in mind that it is not a next-gen game properly speaking, but an adaptation with a couple of irrelevant additions.- LevelUp

Helldivers has everything we expected in an Arrowhead game: it's fun, it's challenging and highly rewarding. It is best played with friends as you can annoy them for the sake of fun. The social component of the global war effort is well implemented and motivates players to engage in it. Highly recommended.- LevelUp

Despite its simplicity, Sreamride is a lot of fun, especially for those patient enough to create an attraction. Screamride could have a bright future if the community wants it to, and as long as the creative effort keeps going. If you are looking for boundless fun and want to put your imagination to the test, give this game a chance, and share with the world the rollercoaster of your dreams.- LevelUp

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse serves as good entry point for those who have never played a title in the series, due to efficient tutorials, tons of fan service and an accessible battle system. Now, if what you want is a great fighting game with Goku and his friends, you might as well look somewhere else, because Xenoverse is more of an online RPG game.- LevelUp

A visually stunning game with clever and varied design, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a very welcome addition to the Wii U library, even if its simplistic premise and mechanics eventually get tiresome.- LevelUp

A good choice for users who did not play the original title, as it keeps its excellent soundtrack, accessible gameplay, easy customization and a good implementation of 3D stereoscopic effect. Unfortunately, it doesn't add outstanding stuff to the mix to justify a second purchase at full price besides its compatibility with amiibos and the C-Stick on the New 3DS.- LevelUp

When it's about to get better, The Order: 1886 ends abruptly and leaves us with a bitter taste. Its unimaginative level design, boring lycan combat and substandard pacing almost ruin the whole experience, had it not been for the best visuals on the console right now and great weapon design. The IP has potential, and we hope that Ready at Dawn learns from its mistakes. They've got something interesting here.- LevelUp

Evolve is a good multiplayer game, but combat suffers due to the design focus on the evolution aspect of the monster. Monsters are forced to flee during 15 minutes and Hunters to chase marks on the screen rather than to hunt it down with the help of their skills and the environment. There is only so much joy you can derive from playing Evolve; it rapidly reaches a plateau and loses the thrill of the hunt.- LevelUp

#IDARB is a 2D platform competitive game. It's dirty, action-packed, and filled with Internet memes. It's genuinely fun and best played with friends locally or head to head in online matchmaking. #IDARB is a game made from the ground up to be a spectator title thanks to social interactions with Twitch and Twitter, which is a lesson developers can learn from and implement.- LevelUp

Weird and exceptional, Majora's Mask is one of the strangest Zelda games ever. Its level design is certainly not on par with other iterations of the series, however the unique atmosphere and fantastic setting turn it into one of our favorites. The 3DS version makes interesting changes that soften the edges of the game. In the end, this release proves how modern and relevant Majora's Mask remained all these years.- LevelUp

Fun and clever, Grim Fandango stands to this day as one of the most original adventure games ever created. The remastered version features most welcome developer commentary, new controls and graphical improvements. Lovers of the Día de los muertos and the film noir genre should not miss this cherished adventure.- LevelUp

Dying Light is a solid and consistently-designed open world experience, regardless of where Techland's ideas came from. The parkour element is the best feature of the game as it allows you to almost fly with little to no effort to either explore or fight the horde. This is, without a doubt, the best zombie game Techland has ever done.- LevelUp

Gat Out of Hell is the first title in the series for the current generation of consoles, therefore we expected improvements on both, graphics and gameplay. Unfortunately, Gat Out of Hell feels like an expansion, not a brand new title.- LevelUp

Shinji Mikami's masterpiece is just as we remember it, only better. Capcom did a good job overhauling the once great-looking version of the best game in the survival horror genre. We are happy with its looks, the controls, and the way it keeps relevant in today standards. Resident Evil HD Remaster is a must have for newcomers in the series and veterans alike.- LevelUp

Maybe this DLC seems expensive for its short duration. However, The Mystery of Mooil Rig is a fun addition thanks to the new abilities and play areas. If you haven't touched Sunset Overdrive since you finished it, this is a good time to come back and have harmless unhinged fun.- LevelUp

The game offering is quite generous, not only when thinking about the Hatsune Miku fans, but also when it comes to rhythm game enthusiasts who are always looking for a new challenge. The game seamlessly takes newcomers through the J-Pop and vocaloid world, while franchise veterans will enjoy this candy store full of unlockable content, rewards and songs that they can enjoy for days on end on YouTube channels.- LevelUp

As an unequivocal sign of modern times, Destiny continues to evolve and change. What at launch was a solid but nonetheless forgettable experience, now expands and improves upon the criticism provided by the gamer community. The Dark Below is not there yet, but we are approaching excellence.- LevelUp

Despite a huge open world, almost the entire United States territory, The Crew lacks in the replay value of its multiplayer, a story full of cliches and not so next-gen graphics. The game has its good moments with scripted events during missions, but after a while, they become boring and repetitive. If you love to drive for hours exploring, doing random events and looking to outrun the police from time to time, this game might be for you, otherwise stay away from it.- LevelUp

With its brilliant, well-thought-out design, Hearthstone is destined to become one of the best card games ever created. The expansion improves upon the impressive original card design and brings more strategies to the table. Any gamer, whether TCG fan or not, should appreciate the amazing work Blizzard has done.- LevelUp

While the progression to max level is fun and the new zones are beautifully crafted, there are some concerns regarding storytelling with the time travel plot. Warlords of Draenor not only represents the 10th anniversary of WoW, but of the genre as we know it, and a faithful comeback to the old Warcraft that we know.- LevelUp

Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMIX is ideal for veteran and new players alike as it keeps the magic that made previous games great, intact, while taking the franchise to the next level with its new features. The bundle also serves as warm up while we wait for the arrival of Kingdom Hearts III on Xbox One and PS4.- LevelUp

This Tales of Hearts remake does not live up to the PS Vita graphical standards, but beyond that, you will find a nice RPG with an easy to understand combat system and a challenging experience fit for any skill level. Nevertheless, the core of this game is the relationship between characters and how the story unfolds; from funny to emotional moments, any JRPG fan will enjoy and love this adventure.- LevelUp
