World War Z tries to evoke the frantic L4D co-op experience, but there’s nothing really original and becomes repetitive too early. A fun experience during its initial hours, and it's better with friends.

Mortal Kombat 11 arrives to become the new spearhead of the franchise. The new playable mechanics, the immense amount of content and the updated graphics are its primary virtues.

Quotation forthcoming.

The unique combination of narrative and gameplay with internet browsing makes Hypnospace Outlaw a very interesting experience, and the impressively detailed (although slightly exaggerated) reproduction of the end 90's internet makes it a recommendable (albeit short and not too replayable) investigation title.

Although certainly not technically impressive, the amount of fresh ideas, innovative mechanics and interwoven systems make this a survival RPG experience like no other. A punishingly difficult game that will reward those who put in patience and disparage fast play. Heartily recommended.

A brutal and challenging game that admits few shortcuts to success. But for every cry of frustration there is a revealing discovery, and for each walk through the darkness there is an ascent towards mountains bathed by the Sun. The father of Dark Souls and Bloodborne makes us suffer again but, at the same time, provides the kind of experience that allows us to emerge reinforced at the other side.

Baba is You. Baba is rules to break. Baba is a revolutionary puzzler. Baba can be many things. But above all, Baba is You is a brilliant video game full of creative, mind-blowing puzzles that redefine the whole genre. One of the most innovative indies of recent years.

Regardless of whether you played the original game or not, this version is worth playing just only because you can witness that array of fantastic cinematic scenes. High level caring and respectful production values for an unforgettable story.

LEGO Movie 2 proves itself being one of the easiest games of the franchise and comes with some graphic issues. Very recommended for children, they'll love it. But for the rest, 'everything is (not) awesome'.

Eastshade combines successfully RPG and walking simulator mechanics and invites the player to discover the wonderful world and characters created by Eastshade Studios.

Trials Rising brings back all the good things from the previous games, and it adds an amazing local coop. And the tutorials that we had been asking for years. It's incredible that despite that, Trials Rising is not the best in the series because a series of terrible design decisions (like lootboxes and grinding to infinity to unlock new events)

Devil May Cry 5 is one of the most stylish, varied and solid hack and slash games in recent times. Dante returns greater than ever, and Nero asserts his rights as cool and convincing demon hunter. Also, this could be the best performance of the RE Engine so far.

Dead or Alive 6 improves everything in terms of gameplay. Better stun system, great S action button and fast-paced combat nearer to DOA 2 than its predecessor.

This new entry in the series improves in many ways from its predecessors, especially in terms of graphics and gameplay but also by offering an interesting plot and characters besides multiplayer content. However, it lacks additional content beyond the main story it's on the short side.

Lots of potential and visually arresting, but lacking and flawed in execution. It needs more baking.

Dreamworks launches a game that is not based on the third How to Train your Dragon, but in its universe. Dragon: Riders of a New Dawn is basically a light version of Diablo and Zelda: a good Dungeon Crawler for kids and parents who want to teach them how to navigate trough this genre. A game that can fly, but at ground level.

Gameplay is not the problem in Spike Volleyball, even if it's not fabulous. Its lack of content and old looking graphics are some of the worst aspects in this game, and we have to add the strange animations. It's hard to recommend, even for a volleyball fan.

The Eternal Castle (Remastered) makes an art out of misguiding the player, hiding behind its limited colour pallet (based on the CGA technology) a very convincing homage to cult classics like Flashback or Another World. Fast paced action, stealth mechanics, and some puzzle elements make it varied and fun to play.

Metro Exodus is the best game in the series and one of the best shooters you'll be able to play this year. We have never seen such an atmosphere. They are so many and so different... Just overwhelming. A last an epic ride with Metro's soul, even in the new spaces. It only fails in the AI and in certain aspects of the open world, which is empty and simple.

Crackdown 3 is the result of a difficult development and it shows. Few aspects shine in a set that seems from another generation.

Project Warlock is an excellent old school fps that brings back the genre to its roots of the 90s. Search colored keys and kill hordes of ruthless demons in a frenetic and fast paced shooter that is really fun to play.

Far Cry: New Dawn is a standalone sequel to Far Cry 5. The game is not as large as the original, and the formula needs some innovation, but the RPG mechanics combined with gunplay and nice characters make it a really good experience to be played.

This is not a game for everyone. It requires good performance both in the management of resources and in the handling of weapons. They are two extremes of the game that must be mastered equally to advance. If you don't like either of those two game modes, this isn't a title for you. If you do and want a deep and lasting challenge, you'll enjoy this game a lot.

Jon Shafer's At the Gates is a beautiful classic 4x video games that innovate in some aspects but it´s remain incomplete because it´s still fail in some aspects like the ost, diplomacy, interface and the perception of life inside the game among others things.

WarGroove wants to become a fiercely competitive game for this old genre; and this brand new Chucklefish title does it. However, at the end of the day, it is not deep nor complex enough to be excellent.

Basically, the best and more polished entry in the franchise and the perfect closure of the saga.

Resident Evil 2 is not a remake, it's a redefinition for the saga and for the survival horror genre. A triumph that mutate and improve the classic formula in unexpected ways.

Ashen shamelessly imitates the great saga of "Souls", but at the same time is able to show itself as a title with a strong personality and, above all, very fun and addictive. One of the "hidden" gems of the year.

Bendy And The Ink Machine is a beautiful, dark tribute to old-school animation. Its explore and puzzle adventure surprises the player in every chapter with new mechanics based in hide & seek and stealth. Its compelling story is an allegory to workaholism.

Possibly the best return to the FPS games of the early 90s, DUSK is an excellent homage to a genre and an era that manages to not only recapture but improve on what made those games great.

Kenshi is not a normal game and it's necessary to understand the long development and the intention of the developer to judge it. With its infinite possibilities, there's quite nothing like it and it's a dream come true for some players, but others will find the dated graphics and poor optimization unacceptable. Still, to create such an open world so well crafted with such a small team deserves the utmost respect

Put turn-based strategy, stealth and RPG elements on a shaker and mix it all to create an enjoyable experience in a post-apocaliptic world with a challenging difficulty and its own identity. That's Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, a highly rewarding game for those who embrace its mechanics.

Melbits World is a cute, fun arcade suitable for parents playing with their children. It offers a pleasant experience that could be improved with more precise controls.

Abzu is still a fascinating experience, perfect for playing anywhere. Unfortunately, the absence of new features fails to unleash its full potential in Switch.

Ultimate has the best gameplay in Smash Bros. series, mixing some of the best mechanics from SSB4 and Melee. Also it's simply overwhelming in terms of content. By contrast, it has issues in its online structure and netcode, which was far from expected.

A good traditional graphical adventure that, however, is far from achieving the quality of the titles on which it’s inspired.

As much for its considerable roster and the amount of game modes available, My Hero: One's Justice is presented as an interesting experience for fans from this series as well as for those looking for an alternative within the fighting genre. Although its gameplay is not at the same level to the most known ones, its possibilities when facing the matches that are presented make it an interesting title.

No open worlds, no map full of nonsense symbols, no rush to finish it, just an old school, old fashion 5th Gen platform experience. Spyro comes reignited in a game that takes its three and best adventures and gives them a new and polished look without sacrificing the original style.

Darksiders III has too many ups and downs in narrative and gameplay which keeps this game from being amazing.

We tried so hard to like Fallout 76, but the game didn’t allow us to do it.

The Taiko saga comes to Nintendo Switch with a wide catalog of musical themes, consistent gameplay and mini games for more than one player. Unfortunately the delay when displaying the notes on the screen makes the product look bad.

Super Street has a typically fun proposal, but it has several basic flaws, among which poor control. Decent, but there is no special reason to recommend it.

The new adventure of the legend Larry Laffer is an excellent point and click graphic adventure that takes us back to the golden age of the genre. Sadly it offers an anticlimactic ending, few locations, and a somewhat obtuse logic for its puzzles.

Masterfully crafted and impeccably designed, Hitman 2 is quite possibly the most excellent stealth title of our times and overall a perfect example of what a good single-player videogame must be. That it is also quite generous with its content is a wonderful bonus.

The combination of a classic game like Tetris and a genius like Tetsuya Mizuguchi results in a rock solid playable masterpiece that aesthetically wouldn´t be out of place in a modern art museum and musically would fit perfectly well in a electronic music festival. Pure interactive art with no expiration date.

Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee are the perfect examples of how the franchise can be adapted to every kind of player despite its cuts, because in terms of new additions, this revival of the Kanto region feels both old and something new at the same time. Same essence, same taste, but different methods to be the master at the Indigo Plateau. Remarkable in every nook and cranny.

Same essence, same taste, but different methods to be the master at the Indigo Plateau. Remarkable in every nook and cranny.

An impressive adaptation. Solid as a rock withoutappreciable loss of quality and with all the content to date.

An original adventure than combines RPG, action an Management in the right way that, although it retains some shortcomings, is perfectly suited to Nintendo Switch.

A worthy indie Shoot'em Up that will be especially enjoyable for Irem fans.

While theHunter:Call of the Wild touts itself as a hunting simulator we found it just as lovely at simulating a walk in the mountain. Although filled with technical and design problems, this is a game that provides something few others do.

Two absolute classics in a bare-bones edition.

The new Harvest Moon designer video game, despite being interesting for a children's audience, ends up being quite disappointing.

A strange metroidvania in that it puts its story wholly at its front, Timespinner is a unique time-travelling experience whose subject matter is more mature than it may seem. Plus, you get to have a partner dragon.

A nostalgic video game that combines 2d platforms and adventure in a very successful way. A great work of the promising Christophe Galati that deserves great praise.

A good detective adventure based on the work of Lovecraft that hits with its setting but fails with the depth of its playable mechanics and technical problems.

Saber Interactive has almost reached the level that NBA fans deserve in this arcade game, with more playable depth and hundreds of players. Despite its lack of offline modes, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a solid alternative for casual basketball fans.

Funny, non-stop and with a story that takes a look at the New 52, LEGO Villains is the second Lego game we play this 2018, and by far one of the best of recent years. Yes, the mechanics are all the same, no changes, but it includes a deep character creator, the voices of Kevin Conroy, Mark Hammill, Tara Strong and other well-known dubbing actors and a Campaign mode with a lot of rhythm. And the main attraction: BE THE BAD GUYS all the time. Fun for the kinds, fanservice for the adults.

Rockstar launches the best video game in its history thus far. A titanic development for a first category product that presents a gigantic world, with an unprecedented depth and an interaction that marks a step forward in the electronic entertainment industry. Top notch.

The creator of Papers Please offers us a modern classic again.Return of the Obra Dinn uses an original and personal narrative in a development that makes us feel like true detectives. Visually it is an exercise in retro love and good taste. Lucas Pope delivers us one of the games of the year.

Black Clover: Quartet Knights offers an interesting experience controlling the characters from the series through a brand new story created for this title and additional game modes plus extra contents. However it results in a generic game which doesn't stand out in any aspect and far from other titles in the genre.

Soul Calibur 6 is the best entry into franchise since Soul Calibur 3. Great roster, solid mechanics (sidesteps are as dynamic as SC2) and one of the best single player experience in any fighting game.

Warriors Orochi 4 is some kind of dream team in musou games, but has too repetitive mechanics and lack of news in it's formula.

Sanctus Reach is a classic turn-based strategy game, full of good ideas and with a high number of campaigns that guarantee many hours of entertainment. The three levels of difficulty ensure that it is suitable for both experts in the genre and for beginners.

Reigns and Game of Thrones are made for each other. The HBO and George RR Martin series have a delightful closure in this strategic card game.

An original, hard and fun action game. It's too short, but it is well designed and its challenges are worth it.

Dark Souls: Remastered for the Nintendo Switch runs very well performance-wise, but its audio issues are too blatant. It's what keeps an otherwise pretty decent port from reaching absolute excellence.

Although it excels over others when it comes to story, Martyr is still not good enough in some aspects that are too important to its genre, they cannot be overlooked.

Starlink Battle For Atlas revives the ‘toys to life’ concept but making a step forward in the process. Ubisoft Toronto achieves their intention to conjugate both exploration and flight phases with a true sense of wonder from the very start until the end. Recommended not only for children but also for hardcore players.

Black Ops 4 is the best Call of Duty game so far... multiplayer-wise. It has plenty of options and game modes, and its own Battle Royale mode —Blackout— can hold its own against the behemoths of Fortnite and PUBG, but it does really need a graphical overhaul.

Mega Man makes a comeback that feels natural, fun and great. 30 years later, the formula still works and it's as fun as ever, and the new additions work perfectly in the mix. It's not as inspired as other main entries of the franchise, but it's a good testament that Mega Man still has a lot of life in his circuits.

If not the best, one of the greatest games in the franchise: interesting RPG mechanics, new exploration mode, well written and with a wonderful main character. However, AI and stealth must be improved in the future.

If you can manage to endure the first terrible hours and the poor technical performance, you will find an interesting RPG, with some problems of pace and puzzling decisions, but full of good ideas and intriguing designs.

A beautiful narrative-driven puzzle game which pays tribute to friendship in childhood and the importance of shared memories.

It's a great game, it has always been. And now it presents its final edition, without all the problems that we saw in the HD Collection. But we miss the first one, and the VR experience is not as good as we thought, neither like VR game, nor like ZoE.

An attractive trip to the subconscious, which uses surrealism effectively to propose a development based on puzzles. However, the emotional connection with the player does not end up being established.

Forza Horizon 4 is the definitive arcade racing experience and the best tribute to racing games history.

FIFA completes a voyage to the very top, offering its best version with a superb gameplay and tons of quality modes to enjoy it.

Capcom strikes again with a compilation that hits as much as it misses. The games included are timeless wonders, but absent jewels of Capcom´s crown as Alien vs. Predator or Cadillacs and Dinosaurs prevent the bundle from exploding.

No matter how important the microtransactions controversy, NBA 2K19 is, once again, the best sports simulator of the season. With its unbeatable basketball mechanics and more content than ever, it's absolutely essential.

One of the best VR games we played this year. A tribute to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Charlie Kaufman's work. It uses everything in its hands to tell us a story (graphics, sound!!, art department, colours, real actors, dialogue, plenty of secrets in the level), and it does it wonderfully, without making us feel stupid. Oh, and its scary as hell (aka PT).

Unlike the previous games, it is based on direct action. Its system is simple and repetitive, but also fun. The cooperative mode is a big strong point.

V-Rally 4 does not manage to be the return that we expected from the franchise. Kylotonn shows what he’s capable with Rally, but the rest doesn’t reach the same quality.

Dragon Quest XI is one of the best JRPG in this generation and probably the best game in its franchise.

We hoped for a step forward, but what we found is a Harden's step back for EA's franchise. As with last year's game, it's not a bad basketball game, but not good enough considering the competition in NBA 2K. A lack of improvements is its primary weakness, being a too iterative offering.

Two Point Hospital is an accessible and fun game, full of content and a great sense of humor, but it's too repetitive and has a lack of customization options.

Halfway between Counter Strike and Rainbow Six Siege we can found Firewall Zero Hour, a multiplayer FPS for VR that works really well and it's creating a surprising community behind. It's exciting, immersive... and so simple. Shallow and repetitive, but it has a great future set.

Probably one of the best iterations on the Spider-Man videogame franchise ever, Insomniac delivers a classic open world title with an strong single-player campaign for everyone to enjoy. While it lacks some unique personality as a game, it’s easy to forget its minor drawbacks while web surfing Manhattan.

The Switch version comes to the West with more content than the original with a discreet but effective adaptation.

Remothered: Tormented Fathers has great plot and interesting gameplay, but it's AI problems, technical issues and poor second half deteriorates the overall game.

Monster Hunter World is one of the best game of the year, and it's still solid, deep and challenging on PC. However, it has some important connection and stability problems.

Shenmue is back and that's always good news. The port is not as good as it should be, and there are many flaws that make the game seem unpolished, especially in Shenmue I. But, overall, it's the same masterpiece we all love and it should be played by everyone.

Endless Space 2: Supremacy adds great new faction, vehicles and heroes, but has the same original problems.

Another great point and click adventure game by Dave Gilbert, that sadly doesn´t match the high expectations we had on it. Despìte this, Gilbert delivers again a good solid story with many new and fresh possibilities that pusses the genre one step away. We hope that Unavowed will be the beginning for another great saga by genius Dave Gilbert.

Dead Cells is a complete success. The more you dive into what this castle-island has to offer, the higher the reward, while you battle thousands of monsters in unexpected ways. A true indie gem that any die-hard retro gamer will play forever.

The imbalances in the difficulty and an excessively simplified combat makes Dead in Vinland an experience that could be better.

It's innovative, something new that gives you a different experience. The graphics provides a complex sensation and the game modes are funny there are puzzles, action and RPG events.
