    Imagine in the glorious old times of NES that we'd have the chance of playing with a game that mix the jumping style of Ducktales, the cities from Zelda II, the map and secrets in the levels of Mario Bros. 3 and 8 enemies like in Mega Man, the magic weapons of Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania, and all the epic from the Sword & Sorcery Genre. All of them into the most complete Yacht Club Games creation.

    Not every game should be a "sandbox" to become a hit. Sometimes it is better to maintain the essence of a title because that is precisely what makes it special. Ghost Recon is no longer special. It's another Sandbox. A good game, but just that ... another good game.

    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.

    Super Bomberman is like old times. A great local multiplayer experience, but without solid news and a poor single player experience, except for its great bosses.

    Snipperclips is a cute and lovely combination of puzzle and action that, despite its simple premise, delivers a massive variety of different situations to solve by simply cutting ourselves. Perfect to play with friends, also thanks to the extra minigames, but the 1 player mode could have been a bit longer.

    Mario Sports Superstars is one of the funniest games of the whole 3DS library, but is not deep enough in each one of its sports. However, the game is solid in its bases, so we had a remarkable experience.

    Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is an interesting title to satisfy the fans from the manga and to give the chance to crush enemies using Guts and the rest of the characters from the series. However the game rooster it’s quite short with only 8 characters to select besides having characters which could be interesting to be playable like Isidro or Farnese.

    Yoko Taro and Platinum Games form an alliance that elevates the NieR franchise where probably no one expected it to be years ago. Automata is a great action extravaganza with so much love for the games as a medium as we, the players, should have for it.

    Contrary to what may seem by seeing a couple of images, Night in the Woods is, in a conversational adventure form, a punk call, an existential, social, economic and political review. Mae's adventure is the sentimental reflex of an twenty-year-old young adult.

    InXile's successor to Planescape Torment doesn't manage to live up to the storytelling of its predecessor, lacking distinct major characters, memorable moments, and well-developed themes, but it compensates for its failings on the main storyline by providing plenty of memorable and distinct little stories in a fascinating world, with quests that offer multiple solutions that rarely rely on combat.

    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 really great job by 343 Industries and The Creative Assembly. Halo Wars 2 has a perfectly adapted control system for its proposal, a good technical work and a variety of game modes with hours of fun, including the Blitz mode, a new and original mode with lots of action and cards as focus.

    The great controls and superb illustrations of the characters, as well as good sound don't make it up for the dull plot and repetitive gameplay. It's a good way to get in contact with the world of Fire Emblem, but will leave players wanting the real thing instead of this watered down version.

    Dragon Ball Fusions is an original and different Dragon Ball game with dynamic and strategic combat system, full of playable characters and solid custom system. However, it's too repetitive if you go for 100%.

    The boost graphics look nice, specially the new sprites and animations, but sadly the constant backtracking and the linear design of the levels make evident the lack of content of the title, and the lost of the exploration inherent to the franchise in previous entries.

    A combination of exploration and survival game with crafting elements. The story follows a robot’s crash landing on an unknown planet and his attempt to make contact with his native world. The title offers captivating visuals with vast environments. Unfortunately the game mechanics are too clunky, the narrative is almost empty and shallow and the game has severe pacing issues, becoming a tedious and repetitive experience in the end.

    Elden Pixels' first game is a charming NES-like metroidvania with some good puzzles and platforming. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, and may take a while to warm up, but eventually grows to become a really great (and tough!) 2D adventure.

    Double Dragon IV can be completed in just one hour and doesn´t live up to the expectations. Neither its graphics nor the gameplay meet the bare minimum to be expected these days, crowded with awesome games with retro aesthetics. A missed opportunity for the old fashioned beat em up genre.

    Nioh is more than a Souls based game. It has a solid, deeper and versatile combat system, it's full of content and offers great final boss battles. A balanced game between action and RPG, but not a legal heir of the Ninja Gaiden formula. However, has an irregular level design.

    Few games show the level of care and polish put into this production. From the superb music to the beautiful graphics, and of course its great gameplay, only the requisite of huge patience, some random spikes in difficulty and long loading times could be mentioned as minor faults in a great overall. A game no fan of the genre should miss, but should also be prepared to spend hours playing it.

    Point and click adventure game inspired upon Haruki Murakami´s short tales.

    This is probably the best game in the “Project DIVA” series to date. With 224 songs and more than 300 modules available in the game it seems more than enough to provide with hours attached to the gamepad playing this game from the classic series fan to the newbie ones or anyone who wants to play a great “rhythm game” completing the different songs at higher levels or trying the different survival courses.

    The best entry so far of the saga released in Europe, with a brilliant plot, a breathtaking atmosphere that will makes us feel like we're back in the 80's, and solid and improved gameplay (including new fighting styles, and steal gameplay sections). Only the fact that it comes only in English and its roots as a PS3 game can be mentioned as issues.

    STEEP is a decent game that takes a huge risk in this genre, but makes it with a properly general idea. The control is far from being comfortable and easy to adapt, but after 10 or so hours it becomes a great experience. The main problem is the execution of its main ideas.

    SMT: Apocalypse is an excellent game with deeper, fluid and solid system combat, great art direction. It's, also, a good sequel. One of the most solid JRPG in terms of gameplay, but misses some opportunities with the new Divine Powers faction and has some inconsistencies at the end of the game.
