    Pure Farming 2018 works as an alternative to Farming Simulator, as it offers a more accessible and diverse experience than its competitor. However, it also lacks in other aspects, including a poor visual presentation and a disappointing short amount of options.

    This brand new entry to the Pokémon franchise feels fresh and captivating, but overall doesn't highlight anything in particular, making the general feeling just good and not as great as it could have been if the developer would have put more effort into its mechanics and gameplay.

    Heroine Anthem Zero: Episode I is a curious game which offers an intriguing story in a fantasy world with reminiscence from Nordic mythology and adding to the mix interesting characters, a good soundtrack and a easy-to-stand playability. But it has so many flaws with respect to its graphics, sound and brief duration, even being the first of what is expected to be many other episodes to come, that in the end becomes a decent game with non-replayable content.

    Wartile presents a beautiful, strategic concept not only with action figures, but also convincing gameplay mechanics and a good progression system. Unfortunately, its nordic ambience deserves a more important narrative and engaging characters, and it lacks both.

    Kona aims to satisfy those users who do not like narrative adventures, but ends up failing in their attempt. Unfortunately the narrative goes in the same way, leaving serious plot gaps after a few hours of interest. However, just to feel the recreation of a humble Canadian rural village is worth going into it despite the visuals problems on Nintendo Switch.

    Almost 20 years after the visceral Retro Helix, Hana & Rain are back in town. Fear Effect Sedna is really a sequel both in design and story, but its crowdfunding nature forces Sushee to tone down their ambitions. On the good side we have action, stealth, shootings, great puzzles, challenging Final Bosses, a few endings and nice cinematics. On the wrong side some visuals, supporting characters voices and a really lazy enemy AI. A good game that could've been better, but a Fear Effect in its core indeed.

    Good graphics, new and improved battle system, engaging plot... SEGA has made, once again, a superb title that moves away from some of the conventions of the franchise (such as the experience gathering and progression system, the possibility to save anywhere...) but keeps the essence of what makes Yakuza, Yakuza.

    Q.U.B.E. 2 is a well-designed and challenging first-person-puzzle game. Unlike its predecessor, it is no longer a simple Portal clone thanks to its great gameplay and updated graphics. However, the narrative can be improved a lot. Definitely, a very interesting indie for the puzzle fans.

    Funny thing that to get the true Burnout experience after a dry season of 10 years we had to wait for the remaster of another Burnout title. Considering it is an HD version of a 2008 game, it's maybe a bit lazy in what it offers for the 30 dollar price tag, but ultimately a very fast-paced joyful arcade racing game that you'll find nowhere else.

    Devil May Cry 1 & 3 were great hack and slash games and they maintain it, but this HD collection doesn't add anything new compared to the previous collection for PS3 and 360. Great games in an unimpressive port.

    A different kind of narrative adventure that mixes historical and fictional characters in an interesting story.

    Tangledeep constitutes a safe bet in the roguelike dungeon crawler subgenre, thanks to its combat and class systems, as well as a beautiful retro art style and a rather surprising soundtrack.

    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.

    This remaster of the original title proves its point: de Blob 2 can still be relevant and fun to play in 2018. While it is certainly not a must have or a perfect game, it has its charm. A very good choice for the kids at home, since it has this feel of being some sort of "my first platformer game".

    Legrand Legacy is a polished game that has sadly taken a few controversial decissions, like the use of beautiful but complicated to navigate pre-rendered scenarios or QTE in combats that could may not be for everyone's taste.

    Mulaka is a different game, which let the player discover a very interesting folklore.

    Monotony and lack of personality. Those are the only two problems that we have found in Apex Construct. If you can rise above them, you are going to find a really nice VR experience. A fascinating story, with a world plenty of secrets and details about itself, and fun action levels that are energetic and dynamic. You should give Apex Construct a chance.

    Dream Diary fails to deliver an experience deserving of having the "Yume Nikki" title on it. In fact, it looks more like a cheap attempt to lean on the original title's success and cult status rather than a game that stands on its own merit.

    Delightful. Maybe the best Playstation VR exclusive. Moss is simple and short, yes, too good to be that short, but it's also the most beautiful thing we've seen in VR, and it's not a random walking simulator with an empty story and no mechanics. Actually, it is a pretty good combination of platforms, puzzles and action.

    Sleepless manages to create an overwhelming adventure of survival where science fiction puts the predominant note together an excessive -and successful- difficulty.
