Pure Suda, Killer is Dead is a really good action game with lots of flavor and many of the elements that have made special this director.

Twice the fun and twice the experience, Unravel 2 is not just the mandatory sequel, but one that proposes something new as two characters this time. A cooperation game that can be played in single-player and multiplayer, the local 2 player Coop is the best part alongside with the graphics. Maybe it is a little unbalanced in the puzzles department, a little short and it doesn't have that fresh of the first part, but Unravel 2 is a game with a little soul inside, so don't rush, just stop from time to time to watch the backgrounds. There's no hurry to get through the game.

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.

Smart, smooth and beautiful - that's the way Nintendo has made its latest Touch Generation's puzzle. It doesn't matter how much we know about the subject, it's just pure fun for every puzzle-lover or casual gamer that's just looking for some entertainment.

Hyrule Warriors: Legends is more than a handheld port. Has more content, new characters and some new and fine mechanics. However, doesn't has a good 3D effect and could be better in terms of visuals.

The legendary role-playing game comes back to life with very few improvements but with the hope that the updates will do even better. We expected more from Beamdog.

Outlast 2 is pure narrative horror. Great atmosphere, storyline and enemies. Improves mechanics relative to the first game, but feels simple and too linear in some gameplay moments.

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. Its a fair game, with good graphics and very much the same gameplay that made Fire Emblem famous. The multiplayer feature is still a work in progress, so perhaps next time.

Fun, entertaining and deep, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a great crazy racer. Charming characters, great tracks, and a great sense of speed, it's one of a kind game, engaging and with lots of several game modes, both online and offline.

It's not Portal, but we have some of Valve's franchise elements in here. Build bridges and lead the driver into a deadly adventure in this puzzle game. Bridge Constructor Portal is challenging and funny, but some of the mechanics have been simplified.

Super Mario means high quality. This time the character turns to the coins and opens some features. But instead, Nintendo EAD brings a title too continuist and uninspired. Perfect but no surprises.

Aegis Defenders renews the platform genre and combines it with tower defense elements. As a result, GUTS gives us strategic depth and a very enjoyable experience, especially in cooperative mode. Moreover, its lore and its pixel-art are charming and excellent.

Helldivers works as a well designed cooperative experience in PS4, PS3 and PS Vita. A great game with tons of content that will bring you many hours of space combat gameplay.

A bit of the same, but the good kind of same. Dragon of the North introduces a new story arc that begins in the cold lands of Tohoku, a region with several missions and bosses which build on an already great game.

A good effort to bring back the essence of Baldur's Gate, and a mechanically successful demonstration of what makes combat special in this series. Good encounter design with some memorable dungeons, but bugs and linearity along with some shortcomings in its story makes it fall a bit short of its potential.

Brilliant example of a sadly forgotten subgenre. Overkill is a Gun Game with a lot of entertainment to offer, full of personality and terribly fun. It's too easy and could have more content, but it's a great offer for fans of shooting at the screen.

Quotation forthcoming.

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. The result is a game that diverts from what people associate with Fire Emblem, that feels fresh at the start, but gets tedious due to the continuous random battles.

VR Case files is a great LA Noire experience full of impressive moments and wonderful moments.

Its long disappearance created an aura that, surprisingly, the game still is able to maintain while playing it. DOOM 64 is back and the medium is a bit better for it.

Sony and Slant Six Games offer a brave addition to the SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs franchise in PSP, with an intense chapter that delivers us to Koratvia to stop a terrorist group. Great online features and a vibrant campaign.

Payday 2 is a very attractive offer for fans of the FPS genre and it's ideal for those who like frantic multiplayer games. We are facing a powerful title with big potential that will keep you glued to your monitor or TV for hours. The only thing to fear is the threat of an excessive repetition of its elements, which should be solved by distributing new types of heists and armament in sufficient frequency. If they do so, it could become one of the most played alternatives over the network.

One of the most beautiful, most polished games in the story of Obsidian. Also, one with the weakest characters, dialogues and design for a studio that uses to excel on that. An entertaining ARPG (with focus on the 'A'), that hopefully won't get in the way of a proper Pillars of Eternity sequel in the future.

Sonic is back, and it feels like 1991's Sonic The Hedgehog. SEGA and Dimps worked together to bring back the best platforming game of the golden era of the character. Impossible jumps, terminal velocities, and a blue shadow that spins and rotates while collecting rings and freeing the animals of the forest held by Dr. Eggman.

A fun and very well made brawler, made with lots of love for Marvel's Superheroes and their history on licensed videogames. A bit on the safe side, perhaps, but very enjoyable.

Strong narrative packed with delightful parkour and fun combat, but the open world is too traditional.

Take a good game and make it even better: that's what Cave has done out of DoDonPachi Resurrection Deluxe, a low-cost title that offers an unique gameplay style. Colourful, happy and incredibly outrageous, don't think it twice before buying it.

FIFA 23 it's a solid game full of modes and great gameplay, but less ambitious than expected for the last of its name.

The Broken Bond is a great follow-up for last year's Rise of a Ninja. Bigger, longer, with more characters and a new team system. It offers everything we always wanted to see in a Naruto game, using RoaN as basis and improving in every possible aspect. A very satisfying experience that we hope will continue this road towards perfection.

The same Guitar Hero franchise, but now it's time for Pop music. Including all features of Guitar Hero 5 with different tracklist, stages, vocalists and musicians, and inviting casual gamers to play guitars, drums, or just singing. Activision presents this new style for all kind of families, introducing real Popstars like Taylor Swift or Adam Levine as unlockable characters.

Se7en & Still Life meets Miller's Sin City in this comic-esque thriller, more Colour than Noir. New York Crimes/ Yesterday keeps the visual cartoon style, signature of Pendulo Studios, but this time filled with bloody characters and satanic cults. A very good game, it's a shame that greatness is stolen by some puzzles whose way to be resolved are not in the tone that the game is looking for.

Quotation forthcoming.

Hob's Barrow is an excellent modern point and click adventure game. It takes inspiration from British folklore to deliver an interesting plot, with solid characters and inspired dialogues. The puzzles are interesting and can be solved using logic. A must have for fans of the genre in a year full of great adventures.

This new entry in the Silent Hill series is, simply, one of the best entries in the franchise. It knows what players want and fear, and show them their inner fears on-screen. A great game, with an unforgettable story, but unfortunately it's too short and quite easy.

Anarchy Reigns has simple but effective gameplay and combo mechanics. Great online beat'em up full of online modes. Frantic and fun, but has a repetitive and too-short single-player campaign.

Horizon Call of the Mountain is a great entry point to understand most of the capabilities of PS VR 2.

Quotation forthcoming.

Kirby's return to Dreamland follows the structure of his earlier adventures, adding co-op features and new mini-games and special power-abilities. As long as you don't expect a sequel to the outstanding Epic Yarn's episode, die-hard fans will be as satisfied as newcomers.

FAST RMX is a solid experience, one of the most recommended games in the eShop so far. Better than the original but with the same mistakes and flaws as the original, this game is good but not good enough to overcome an F-Zero title.

DeathSpank is a really funny videogame, the perfect mix between Diablo and Monkey Island. It has madness, hilarious situations and addictive gameplay. One of the hits of this summer.

If you think about how could a mobile game be from Platinum Games, World of Demons is the correct answer.

Overlord 2 is a solid sequel of the first one, a game that surprised many people thanks to its charm and originality. Now, the surprise factor is gone, but Triumph Games has made wise improvements over the weakest elements of their previous work, which makes this an enjoyable experience and a recommended title.

Moonlighter offers two types of gameplay in the same game and does it in an excellent way. Beautiful and with many details where a great soundtrack accompanies him. A difficult game with an excellent duration.

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot explores a new way to revisit Toriyama's creation. Exploration, adventure and nostalgia shine in an Action RPG with simple combat and some repetitive missions, but with the most impressive recreation of Dragon Ball Z story in any videogame.

Well focused combat system, very classy flavored, and nicely designed maps can't fully overcome a lackluster story and forgettable characters. It is very good as an strategy game, it´s a bit lacking as a Fire Emblem.

Once Again, Ubisoft Montreal takes us to Persia, this time an arid desert where we will face great dangers. With its cell-shading graphics and the incredible platforming areas, the Prince is better than ever; also, this time he has a great companion, Elika. A huge adventure, beautiful and great, but with some technical issues, extremely easy and very straightforward.

Fran's new is a wonderful tribute to the Metal Gear Solid saga but to the Spanish one. Extremely fun, worked in every aspect and a safe bet on any platform.

Possibly, the greatest grindhouse game ever. Great sense of humour, a lot of gore and, technically, one of the best games available on the Wii. Unfortunately, it's very short, as always is the case with on-rails shooters. But, overall, it's a unique experience, and an incredible arcade game.

Lego Batman 2: DC Heroes is the best Lego game that we've ever seen. Open world, voices, original story and great characters. Simple and fun.

For Honor is not a perfect game but it is a kind surprise. It is different, original, deep, intense, visceral, and above all, fun. Medieval combat has never felt like this before. Any fighting games fan should try it at least once.

A legendary shmup at least on our hands (without needing to pay hundreds of dollars for it). Certainly, one of the notable ones for Mega Drive.

A joy for fans of the movies, management games and dinosaurs in general.

With a deep combat system, polished gameplay and nicely designed UI and characters, Mary Skelter: Nightmares makes an impression among the many dungeon crawlers on PS Vita. On the negative side, the plot is forgettable and it could be repetitive at some moments.

An interesting title that shines in both its single-player and multiplayer game modes, offering intense clashes between giant robots with a simple but effective combat system.

Thumper is arguably the best example of how a game developer can create a brand new experience in an old genre like this with an impressive game which matches every aspect in a wonderful way on Switch.

Ikaruga and Switch are a perfect match. Flawless in both portable or television modes, Ikaruga demonstrates that it still reigns among today´s shooters. A true classic that truly holds up, a lot of time after storming a genre.

While we are a bit let down about the role of Ryu on this game, it´s still a beautiful, savage, old school action game that is easy to fall in love with.

Lacrimosa of Dana is, probably, one of the best entries in the Ys series. It's fun to play, there's a lot to discover and, overall, is a really satisfying experience. The story has much room for improvement and graphics are not at their best, but that's probably the only two negative aspects of an overall excellent game.

Finally comes one of the greatest adventures from Sega exclusively for PlayStation 3. It has been a long way, but the new Yakuza's episode arrives to the Western after Japan launch one year ago. New street fights, more research, a great plot and love for detail are the trademarks of the new proposal from Amusement Vision. It's really worthy; a nice price with a nice extra content.

Kirby Air Riders is a very special and unique game that only Sakurai-san could achieve.

Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is the great return of one of the most original and beloved PS3 and Xbox 360 games. It's not flawless, but it's pretty fun.

We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie breaks into current systems with the same surreal spirit of yesteryear, some visual and gameplay improvements and all the fun intact after almost two decades.

Minit is a Zelda-like game in which you die every sixty seconds. Its design is smart, its world is ridiculous and funny, and its gameplay is pleasant.

Wreckfest is one of the best Switch ports ever with great gameplay and visuals and a lot of content available, both for single player and online races. Just a few performance issues and adaptation to portable mode tarnishes a great racing game.

Despite its flaws in handheld mode because of lower resolution, this version is the most recommended to play with. Toys For Bob has done a great job overall, so it continues feeling like Crash from last year.

Miasma Chronicles is a great game that lovers of tactical strategy and stealth games will enjoy. The Bearded Ladies refine the formula of Mutant Year Zero in a proposal that is kinder to the player, but that is not exempt from a sometimes strangely managed difficulty. The story takes time to start, but even in those first hours it is capable of pushing us to continue playing.

Both perfectly encapsulate the Platinum spirit.

Treasure gives us exactly that, a treasure. It’s an improved version of the classic Bangai-O, originally released for the N64 and later ported to Sega Dreamcast. More than 200 levels are waiting for a solution, and believe us: this is not especially easy. Take weapons and become the new Bangai-O rider to complete one of the funniest DS games. Indeed, Spirits includes a great level editor.

Offensive, frantic and fun. Dead or Alive 5 Last Round still is a good fighting game with some additions: two new characters, two new stages and 1080p and 60 frames per second in Next Gen hardware. The most complete version, but few new aspects compared to its predecessor.

Focusing on the Masters rather than in the Ryder Cup, the Tiger Woods franchise delivers where previous instalments failed. The brand new career mode along with some fresh additions to the gameplay make PGA Tour 12 worth every cent to every golf fan.

Truly unique in the Vita catalogue, Murasaki Baby is again proof of how a game can really be a piece of art on its own. We can argue about why the developers haven't given us the chance of using a button scheme instead the touch controls, but that will detract us from the short but deep experience that is guide the little Baby and her balloon through a world of dreams and macabre.

The fifth and final chapter of Sam&Max's third season is epic and nostalgic, full of surprises and old friends. The third series of Steve Purcell's characters is over with elegance and with the classic taste of their latest adventure. See you soon, Sam and Max!

Slender Threads is a superb graphic adventure, with an original and very attractive visual presentation, and which offers an intriguing plot that mixes humor with terror that captivates the player. It is somewhat short, but it is a candidate for the best graphic adventure of the year.

Whether it's free, this game is still fun. The best puzzles in which Link has faced and always meant to be played in company. The touch screen makes it better. It also has added a lot of memories to help you bring out your tears. Memorable.

The first case of Chuck Greene is quite interesting, a great way for enjoying the zombie slaughtering before the launch of Dead Rising 2. Overall it's a good game, fun, compelling and with a new focus on exploring that gives new ideas to the franchise, and they work rather well.

Red Alert 3 is not the deepest RTS you can find, and its hilarious video sequences gives it a juvenile tone, but that is part of the fun. EA LA celebrates and exaggerates some of the most defining aspects of the series, offering an intense a shiny game that captures the essence of its name. While the introduced co-op mode has big potential for the future of the RTS, in this case it actually produces some non-severe balancing problems in the campaign.

Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! has everything we could wish for about Taito's classic. A new installment that engages from the first moment, with a gameplay as fresh and addictive as the first day. A multitude of mechanics that significantly increase the difficulty and depth of the game, as well as multiplayer and online options that significantly lengthen the life of an already infinite game. The usual charm and charisma of Puzzle Bobble remains intact.

Despite dwelling on the well-worn topic such as the World War Two warfare, this third installment of the acclaimed Hearts of Iron 'grand strategy' saga truly delivers. Based on the revamped engine displayed on Europa Universalis, Paradox' title offers unique depth, flexibility, historical accuracy and wonderful playability that will perhaps overwhelm newcomers but will surely make strategy enthusiasts rejoice once again. It may lack state-of-the-art graphics and sound effects but it is anyway one of the greatest war simulators currently on the shelves.

Remake still shines for its reinvention of Final Fantasy VII’s first act. The Switch 2 version is outstanding — superior to the original PS4 release. Its Dock/Handheld duality also makes it the best way to experience this modern classic.

Much more than a remake.

A worthy follower of Quest legacy with some interesting advances in narratives choices, but not as excellent as the games from Matsuno.

Peaky Blinders: The King's Ransom manages, through the care it gives off and the good work done in the implementation of its mechanics, to be among the best games for virtual reality in standalone systems. An appreciable achievement considering that the limited hardware has made poor graphics the norm for many developers. [Meta Quest tested]

Gal Guardians: Demon Purge is a game that will delight fans of 2D direct action. Excellent gameplay, outstanding final bosses and a set of charismatic characters and dialogues as witty as the Gal*Gun saga. A fun experience that lacks more creativity in level design, but the dynamism of its proposal and the good work in the genre of its developers elevate this remarkable game.

Pandora: First Contact does a good job in reviving the classic Alpha Centauri, though it lacks some personality to reach the same level.

Beyond the similarities with Kratos saga, it's an intense and frantic hack'n slash with brilliantly artistic graphics. Too short and without innovation, Dante's Inferno has what's most important: fun.

CyberConnect2 improves over a trusted formula that still manages to attract Naruto fans. Great production values, a big number of fighters and excellent story mode. However, the Japanese studio at some point will have to find the way to add more innovations.

EA SPORTS FC 25 builds up the future of the franchise with a revolution on the tactic side and a great new experience like Rush.

An original and well executed rogue-like that manages to work well with its peculiar rhythm mechanic.

Finally we see the critically acclaimed Square Enix's saga Star Ocean on PSP. Tri-ace succesfully recovers one of the best RPG's ever in an interstellar adventure where our main task is finding a cure to avoid Earth's destruction. The creators of Valkyrie Profile show us how a remake is meant to be done.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days proves that Square Enix its working hard and very well on the DS. A charming adventure, with a nice story and intense gameplay elements, including multiplayer options for the very first time in the franchise are just same of the features that this great action RPG includes.

A really good take on multiplayer combat. Fun and brutal, Chivalry is a great option if you are tired of shooting bullets.

Rebel in tone, efficient in design, maybe Journey to the Savage Planet doesn't qualify as the kind of game that changes the medium, but it definitely falls among the ones that truly are a joy to play.

Between the original and Sigma, this remake is the best version of the game since the Itagaki's one, the best entry for newcomers and a good appetizer to wait Ragebound and Ninja Gaiden 4.

Age of Wonders 4 offers a profound gameplay when we talk about pure strategy, despite the battles are not at the same level. There is no doubt that it's a great entry to the genre and the Paradox portfolio.

Conviction is a good game, faithful to the series, with great visuals and a perfect mix of action and stealth. But the solo experience is extremely short, there are several AI flaws, and all of the multiplayer game modes are just for up to two players. Good ideas, but it's not as polished as previous entries.

Despite some minor balance problems and a certain repetitiveness in the second half, FANTASIAN Neo Dimension is a work easy to recommend for JRPG lovers. Those who love games in the style of the first Final Fantasy will find this title an ideal experience.

This game is not a sequel, it has no more about Alan Wake or maintain its gameplay. However, it is fun and frantic, with many weapons and enemies, and some good ideas and lucidity of the engine. Recommended for new players and fans of the writer.

Yomawari Night Alone can be seen as a simple game experience but inside its gameplay it has a quite interesting survival horror game from the point of view of a girl in search of her big sister and dog. With a simple but also great setting, not just in graphics but also in sound, this game makes for a quite remarkable experience from the beginning to the end.
