Shift 2 Unleashed is a great racing game, with some nice touches like the helmet cam or the presence of rubber on the tracks. But its frantic gameplay makes the Elite game mode the only one that's truly playable and realistic. Overall, the AI is excellent, and that's nice. Recommended for all the racing fans out there.

Unravel is a marvelous audiovisual experience, has good puzzle mechanics but it's too simple and irregular experience in terms of platform gameplay.

Shadow Dragon is a very good Strategic RPG in which we'll be able to play the role of an imperial prince who has to save his world.

Take an idea you implemented in another game, and extend it to make a new IP. That's the premise behind Captain Toad, but in this case it's taking something so good as the levels of Toad in Mario 3D World, and making a whole game with them. It's funny, smart, so adorable and screams Nintendo in every part of its code. Sure, perhaps the camera needs polish, and maybe it's easy and short, but try to get all the treasures on every level and we'll see if it's still so easy and short. A little gem in the Wii U catalog, certainly not for everybody -at least if they don't like puzzles games, or the platformers without a jump button- and it's one of those titles whose only purpose is to have fun with.

Intelligent Systems takes the risk of not following the path opened by the successful Awakening and Fates, but instead travels to the past to bring back the old mechanics from the obscure 2nd entry in the franchise.

Dark Room is the most tedious of the four episodes so far, with pace issues, boring moments mixed with others that leave us breathless just like its amazing climax, one more time powerful and intense.

Quotation forthcoming.

Children of the Sun is a magnificent and original fusion of a sniper and puzzle game, with a bizarre and decadent aesthetic that evokes the Suda 51 games. Highly replayable, we loved its proposal, and just the fact that it ends abruptly in its best moment prevents it from becoming a modern classic.

Napoleon Total War is a great RTS game, an incredible homage to the real french emperor.

But it relies heavily on the basics of Empire Total War, so it feels a bit held back due to the lack of real improvements.

Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 keep being fantastic games worth playing, the HD conversion is really good and it´s a pleasure playing them on the go with Vita.

Amanita offers us a new jewel in its impeccable catalog. Chuchel is a wonderful fusion of comedy and adventure that unfortunately is too short and lacking in challenge. Despite this, its overflowing sense of humor and creativity make it worthwhile to enjoy this awesome adventure of the great Czech studio.

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is a fantastic tribute to the saga and to Akira Toriyama.

DiRT 5 does not bring anything revolutionary to the arcade driving genre, but it does manage to set the saga in a territory where no one can doubt its existence. DiRT is still DiRT, an episode that takes the best of the first three numbered installments and does not forget to provide the excellent set design of the Rally side. This anarchic philosophy is enjoyed at the controls, but it suffers from a series of technical problems and graphic finishes that are below expectations. A remarkable title specially designed for lovers of the saga and four wheels, but which fails to establish itself as a benchmark in its genre.

An enjoyable surprise.

Brutality, tons of blood and the most violent show ever seen to come exclusively to Wii. Former Clover members prove their talent with this beat'em up portrayed with this comic-book look drawn with black, white and red colors. Modern art with a great sense of humor mixed with a macabre tone, MadWorld can only be blamed for its 6 hours campaign and the little depth it offers as a brawler, compared to the biggest games in the genre.

Certainly a different Final Fantasy, a mix of good, bad and puzzling decisions in a very fine production which makes for an interesting package.

It´s a poor man's Far Cry 3 without the stunning vistas and cut mechanics, but it´s also a fun homage to the 80s and Action Hero movies, all while delivering a nice and straightforward shooter.

Quotation forthcoming.

Civilization: Beyond Earth refreshes the saga, even if it had to move light-years away from its original setting. It offers a wide variety of choices making each game different from the last...

The Assassin's Creed franchise returns after a year of absence with a new game set in Ancient Egypt. Origins is a new beginning for the series, and comes along with several major changes in gameplay design. Ubisoft's Egypt is not only beautiful and dangerous, but also a mysterious living world. The new RPG system, the redesigned combat system, and the missions are the pillars of Assassin's Creed Origins. It is more an evolution of the formula than a revolution. Of course it´s not a perfect game, specially because the battle system doesn´t work so well with many enemies. Also, the AI should be improve in the future.

Quotation forthcoming.

Wasteland 2 demonstrates that classic role-playing is recovering. A game that will entertain us for hours -despite its poor technical aspect- and can be played again many times.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade's a piece of art, or art by itself. It's a simple beat 'em up that's set on the early Japanese history, mainly focused on the personal story of two wanderers that're trying to earn a living smashing every enemy that's set on their way. It's one of the most interesting games for this console, lacking an in-depth story, but still a very joyful one.

Slime Rancher oozes personality and style, being a clear labour of love. It comes highly recommended and is sure to please young and old alike.

Visually with some breathtakings moments of space beauty, Exo One is like a No Man’s Sky made by Thatgamecompany, a journey trough beautiful alien planets where you cannot die nor lose. Where is the challenge, then? In the journey itself, a contemplating and at the same time interactive journey with a simple and accessible gameplay where gain momentum is the key to all.

Ace Attorney meets Battle Royale in this tense game with a slow tempo that establishes its own rules.

And trials with minigames and shooter elements that can take us hours to solve this very well written and narrated Whodunit.

Necrobarista is a nice looking visual novel packed with interesting reflections about life and death. However, story fails when it tries to empathize with the player.

Sine Mora EX is a great way to revisit an outstanding shoot em up. The time mechanics still provide a lot of fun, and the amount of content is more than fair. It also looks better than ever, but the new modes and multiplayer options leave much to be desired.

This remaster is the most appealing version of the original trilogy as its entirely readapted to HD. Even though Capcom have done a vague adaptation — as it lacks of new functions such as dialogue history, it’s still a worthwhile entry though. Nintendo Switch turns out to be the best version overall.

Shadowrun: Dragonfall is a very good campaign and finally shows some of the potential that Dead Man's Switch forgot along the way. The new story offered by Harebrained Schemes does not only provide great content to the game but also opens the door to users who want to unleash their imagination. Although its overall image is blurred by its price inexplicably equal to the original content, Shadowrun Returns still is -possibly- the best adaptation of the world of Shadowrun to date.

A convincing dynamic campaign sustain a game that follows the quality path set by the series.

This is the last entry of the original Phoenix Wright trilogy. It includes all-new runabouts that are set in the past and present of the ace attorney.
