    With some of the best graphics in the system, solid controls and gameplay, and a big variety of missions, Metroid Prime Federation Force is a well crafted title that should please both fans of the franchise as well as newcomers. The online could be a bit disappointing, however, as the lack of voice chat makes difficult to divide the work among the team and other players are not always reliable.

    With over the average graphics and music for a mobile game and a well crafted battle system, it's a pity that the game limits itself to be a continuous succession of battles. The characters and plot, despite the big names behind it, also lack charm. But for some random battles while commuting it's definitely a great option for Final Fantasy and RPG fans.

    Final Fantasy Brave Exvius brings the classic FF experience into a Free to Play concept without losing quality.

    Mario & Sonic go back to basics in this new installment of the long-running franchise. Now only a few buttons will suffice for all sports, in a way that reminds closely the gameplay of old Sega arcade titles such as Virtua Athlete. Also, the new "Duel events" add random items, so typical of the Mario Franchise, to three sports for a more "party" approach. However, it could have packed some more sports and scenarios to compete, as it falls short in that regard.

    Despite the weak graphics and the lack of Fire Emblem content outside of a few references in the plot and sound effects, Tokyo Mirage Sessions is a solid RPG that shows the expertise of Atlus. Sadly they have focused too much on doing well what they already know how to do and so most of the potential of such a combo as SMT x FE hasn't been fulfilled. But it's very enjoyable and attractive experience regardless. The music deserves an special mention as it includes memorable J-Pop tunes.

    DOOM is back keeping the same intense and hectic gunplay that it had 23 years ago in a successful reboot on steroids. The package excels in a brilliant, replayable Single Player campaign, the infinite Snapmap "DOOM Maker" editor that remembers the .wad maps creation, tons of unblockables, and OST that encourages demon-slaughtering among other great aspects. Only the MP mode doesn't match that excellence. The rest is a masterclass on how update a classic and nail it.

    After the success of Fire Emblem Awakening, Fates takes it as a base to build its new world but trying to keep old fans on board too. It offers a better plot and three different experiences tailored to veterans and newcomers. Sadly it fails to bring many improvements in gameplay (except for the addition of more interactive scenarios and the unit combination) and graphics, but in exchange adds the massive my castle function, including its multiplayer functions and online mode. It's disappointing that the good end is exclusive to the downloadable "Revelations" path, though.

    Battleborn offers an interesting approach to the MOBA and Shooter genres but remains in no man's land with respect to many of its mechanics.
