Despite its relaxing gameplay and great Japanese sense of humor, it can be repetitive at times and even disappointing for those who expect something resembling Animal Crossing.- LevelUp

Gundam Reborn is some kind of remake of the previous titles of the series. It's awesome to play once again with Mobile Suits, but the fact is that the game looks and plays almost like the first title of the saga, it makes you think if Tecmo Koei just reskinned it.- LevelUp

A good balance between precision sniping and arcade elements, Sniper Elite III is hampered by a severe lack of content, ambition and depth, but remains nonetheless an enjoyable experience.- LevelUp

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark main problems are that High Moon Studios didn't developed it and that the terrible Michael Bay's movie, Transformers: Age of Extinction, was merged with the marvelous universe of War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron.- LevelUp

A funny cooperative DLC that will appeal to both zombie killers and nostalgic gamers of the classic era of Capcom.- LevelUp

This game feels like a well intended failure. Its puzzles are too simple and easy to solve, the action parts are diluted minigames and the animations feel cheap. However, the historical context is interesting and the visual style is amazing. In the end, sadly, Valiant Hearts is unable to overcome its weaknesses.- LevelUp

Murdered: Soul Suspect is like a diamond in the rough: a dead detective, with supernatural powers, who has to solve his own assassination is an attractive plot. Having said that, Airtight Games didn't know how tap into those features to deliver what could have been an excellent game about finding clues and solving crime scenes. At least the game delivers a somewhat interesting story with an unpredictable ending.- LevelUp

GRID Autosport is a great comeback after GRID's 2 failure. Interior view is back and the 5 driving disciplines add a new challenge to the game. Career mode is challenging, but after a while it becomes repetitive and boring. On the other hand, multiplayer is the way the career mode should be. Overall is a fun game, but don't expect to be playing it a lot after a while.- LevelUp

Yes it is hard as nails, and yes it has some weird moments when it comes to animations, but anyone who invests a few hours into EA Sports UFC will find a deeply gratifying and fair sports experience. A must have for any MMA fan, not so much for anyone who looks for an easy win. EA Sports UFC demands dedication but that isn't a bad thing.- LevelUp

Beyond the gorgeous melodies and the attractive protagonist of Drakengard 3 lies an inconsistent RPG action game, with serious technical issues, washed out graphics, silly story, unnecessary sexual references and questionable combat system.- LevelUp

A nice and definitely underrated little gem, Keroblaster brings back the magic of doujin games with an excellent design and control, albeit it is a little brief and somehow less ambitious than its forerunner, Cave Story.- LevelUp

The New Order is a lackluster shooter with detrimental game mechanics. If it wasn't for its focus in storytelling, it would be just another classic that failed to return.- LevelUp

8-Bit Boy gathers elements from various classic platformers, such as Super Mario Bros., without making a fresh contribution of its own. The generic design results in predictable levels and its controls will be a real headache for the players.- LevelUp

Fast, stimulating and vibrant, Mario Kart 8 improves almost every aspect of the franchise. It's a shame that the Battle mode is now a watered down version of a normal race. The low frame rate during local 4 player competitions also affects an otherwise pristine experience.- LevelUp

Super T.I.M.E. Force proves games don't need high budgets and big studios to deliver a creative and fun experience. No one should miss the chance to manipulate time and create paradoxes the way this sidescroller does.- LevelUp

Awesome art style and animation, combined with a great sense of humor, allow BattleBlock Theater to stand out above current arcade games. The campaign, the cooperative mode, and the level editor will keep you hooked for hours.- LevelUp

An ugly, banal experience, The Impossible Game is pretty much a forgettable game; a cash-in of the recent mini-game mania that excels at nothing.- LevelUp

God of War and God of War II from the God of War Collection are awesome games, but the touchpad implementations added to the PlayStation Vita pack lack creativity and feel more like forced features than useful ones. The God of War Collection for PlayStation 3 is way better than this new version for the handheld platform.- LevelUp

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle is an enjoyable fighting title if you are looking for a casual experience. However, from a competitive standpoint, it lacks a solid combat system and almost all the bizarre fighters are unbalanced. It's a shame because this is a good looking adaptation of Hirohiko Araki's manga.- LevelUp

It doesn't matter if this game looks great, it's a dull experience nevertheless, disguised with gimmicks such as jumps between foreground and background. The minigames included don't add up much to the experience. When you have so many quality platformers on the 3DS, it's hard to find a good reason to play this one.- LevelUp

Predictable, repetitive and dull, Daylight only manages to scare the player with its bugs, clunky level design and boring game flow. This is the horror movie that you have seen a hundred times. It's just not scary anymore.- LevelUp

Cold, Cold Heart is an expansion that only Batman and Arkham Origins' lovers should play. It introduces an awesome thermal outfit for the Dark Knight and it allows the player to know Mr. Freeze's origins. Having said that, it doesn't really enhance the incredible freeflow combat system or add any new gadgets.- LevelUp

Disney Magical World lacks challenge and appeal, even for a game that's aimed towards kids. The game features lots of content, however, most of it is reused many times, and that turns this “magical adventure” into a tedious and boring experience.- LevelUp

Mercenary Kings is a trip fueled by the nostalgia of the 8 and 16 bit classics; veteran players will find the core aspect of the games amusing, while the modern aspects might appeal to new players.- LevelUp
