Not much novelty for a game that was already brilliant. Wii U has a complete and nearly perfect version, very tactile and easy to enjoy, also in multiplayer.

Guitar Hero Metallica lands with many cool new features and very good presentation. Taking the role of one of the greatest bands of all time is not an easy task, but the game manages well to give the player a huge amount of songs, while fitting well for different skill levels. Furious fret working and thundering drumming are the basics of what achieve to be a great tribute. Only the length of the songs, which can exhaust almost any player on highest difficulty and the decision to not be compatible with other downloadable content different than Death Magnetic are real drawbacks on this great game.

An excellent game made in the best tradition of Metroid or Symphony of the Night. Great combat system, striking visuals, superb artistic direction, notable humour and a really good soundtrack. The enemies get a bit repetitive and the evolution of the combat from El Luchador could be longer, but overall, a really recommended buy.

Gorogoa is a unique and amazing puzzle-game that deserves an opportunity, for the bravery of it's creator and because we need games like this in the industry to make it going forward.

And with him, we receive the best work that Suda51's made so far, with an outstanding graphics engine and a story that will take players to the city of Santa Destroy, in a vendetta-like-story in which Travis will have to get to the first place of the UAA... and find out who was the man that wasted his patiente with the murder of his best friend. Desperate Struggle's one of the best games for this console.

The ultimate menu on the funniest cooking game ever.

Red Matter 2 is a technical wonder. Vertical Robot have raised, with this second part, a bar that they had already established with their previous game. It is a graphic top that dynamites the supposed limits of the standalone console and that should be a wake-up call for other developers. But its benefits do not stop there. Red Matter 2 is an excellent retro-futuristic adventure packed with puzzles, platforming, and action. Essential.

Metro Redux has a great remastered version of Metro 2033 and the most complete Metro Last Light pack. Improved mechanics and great visuals make for a solid pack of two old-school shooters.

A triumph of the interactive narrative, good proof that with good writers and a solid direction, letting the player make decisions can make a good story better. An intense game with more decisions and more consequences.

Double Fine brings us an original and magical game starring russian dolls with a simple gameplay but as an extraordinary experience with a lot of fun.

Axiom Verge is another good metroidvania game with 8 bit visuals and a deep weapon system.

Same graphics, different sounds and a completely new storyline is very much what players are going to find in The Diabolical Box, a game that has nothing but fun to offer every player that have the guts to get over with more than a hundred puzzles and a compelling story. One of the best games of this year without any doubt at all.

2K Sports carefully crafted the best basketball game in recent times. It was difficult to improve last year's entry, but they worked hard and launched an even better game. Gameplay-wise, it's quite similar to 2K8, but now it's more fluid, more complex and with the new DNA feature, that lets you customize your players. Let the new season begin!

Frostpunk builds upon the foundation that made This War of Mine a sleeper hit in 2014, providing a solid and innovative gameplay experience with real time strategy and survival elements. Winter is coming.

Mortal Kombat is a good fighting game and a great return of the series in the 2D battles. Less deep than other games, but funny and full of content, Mortal Kombat is the most violence game in the saga.

A different, wild trip on the same island, this history showing Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes makes Crysis Warhead not only a technical achievement, showing the best graphics on a PC yet, but a great example of fast-paced strategic action, making it a game that, more than a spin-off, can stand by its own.

Virtuos Games has taken the edge off with Nintendo Switch. This port is absolutely brilliant; even though it sacrifices some graphic details and textures definition. The result is one of the most stunning adaptations ever made on this console, with a minimum impact in regards with the PS4 or Xbox One version farther than 30 FPS.

Criterion Games has developed the best arcade driving game of this generation. It is fun, fast, crazy and offers thousands of different options. One of the most remarkable aspects is the online mode up to 8 players in the same Fairhaven.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a new and solid Uncharted adventure with a solid relationship among its characters. But it's a too-conservative experience in terms of gameplay.

Soul Calibur 6 is the best entry into franchise since Soul Calibur 3. Great roster, solid mechanics (sidesteps are as dynamic as SC2) and one of the best single player experience in any fighting game.

A beautiful and challenging game with a fun and engaging combat system and a world worth exploring (even if doing so could be a bit frustrating).

Packed with fast action and impressive refinement, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound is the new gold standard for neo-retro. A game made to be replayed countless times.

Skate was the first interesting alternative to the monopoly of Tony Hawk and its sequel improves many aspects of it, adding new features like multiplayer modes. Some AI problems and a lack of innovation over the fist one are the big problems of this title.

A gorgeous JRPG that is even better now. One of the best remakes in the last years, full of improvements and new content.

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.

Disgaea 7 is the return to the series in style, being by far the most accessible game in the series through its different options while retaining the characteristic identity that has popularised the franchise, both through gameplay mechanics and the development of the plot. Undoubtedly an option to take into account for fans of the series and the tactical RPG genre.

Hogwarts Legacy is the best game set in the Harry Potter universe.

The classic action-genre from the 8bits generation's still alive and well. Dark Void Zero's here not only to use the name of the new Capcom's franchise, but also to represent one of the most interesting games that we've tried so far on the DSiWare channel. Pure action, fun and retro-style. A nice pick if you're looking for some fun.

Trails through Daybreak sets a new paradigm for the franchise with a versatile combat system combined with an endearing cast of new characters and a story that grows with each new chapter.

A superb game with excellent touches, great art and a confident execution. But its attempts to reintroduce classic design ideas from the saga are a bit lacking compared to the original ones.

An incredible journey for a group of amateurs, a proper celebration of a master piece and a remake that manages to improve over the weakest aspects of the Valve classic. It took a long time, but you won't see us complaining.

This game takes what it needs to become one of the greatest RPGs of the Dual Screen, with a superb story that pushes everything what we've seen so far beyond the limits. Its not the perfect Dragon Quest though,with too many combats and a weak monster system that still have to prove its real value. We'll be looking forward to DQVI.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is one of the best JRPG in a last years. Deeper progress and combat system, stunning visuals and strong mechanics like Skells makes Xenoblade Chronicles X a truly must-have title for Wii U owners and any JRPG fan.

Housemarque, creators of Super Stardust, do the cylindrical vessels battle with addictive, challenging and fun gameplay.

At last, SHIFT is the change we were expecting in the NFS franchise, after so many years of tuning. Now we take part in the professional racing world, and we can drive with the best in-car view we have ever seen in a videogame.

As interesting as it was Saints Row 2, but fueled with a new hilarious storyline and a few additions that makes it bigger, better and funnier than its predecessors.

Quotation forthcoming.

Fun, huge, with hundreds of missions and cooperative gameplay for up to four players, both online and offline. Borderlands is an incredible mix of action and RPG, with some flaws but, overall, a great game for action lovers.

Half-Minute Hero is one of those strange proposals that gamers will find in the market. Fun, with four different gameplay styles, with tons of jokes and the parody of using a 8-Bits visual engine to make a bond with the past of the genre - this's definitely a game you cannot let go without giving it a shot. It wont let you down.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition has upgraded beautifully to the current ages, with some great content and improved gameplay and graphics.

Thimbleweed Park is a true love letter to the adventure game genre, developed by two geniuses who built up the genre back in the golden age of the point and click games.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is a pop-culture allegory where its creators aimed to tell you a story where every level was thought to evoke a different emotion. Its brilliant soundtrack and the visual style make this game extremely unique and appealing. Rhythm and precision as a rule, but it’s much more than that: it’s a playable music album.

A remake should be something that improves what can be improved while not touching the soul of the original game, and New'n Tasty accomplishes this with high marks.

After the fantastic Super Meat Boy, Edmund McMillen goes to his more experimental roots to create a really original and engaging hybrid. Part SmashTV, part Rogue, The Binding of Isaac offers hours and hours of entertainment in a highly replayable adventure.

USFIV is definitely the Street Fighter IV ultimate version; huge roster, good balance changes, new and needed tools for pro players and content sharing via social media, in a game that can make Street Fighter IV last for a decade.

Trine 2 is great game and better than the previous one. It is a perfect choice to regain the magic of the platform genre, with an immersive, colorful and nice accomplished atmosphere that invites us to dream in the world of children's stories. It's an entertaining game that will test our ability and wit, but never enough to force you to surrender, but sadly short. You cann't miss the chance to try it.

Despite of being a World of Warcraft clone, RIFT is definetly a good and recommended MMORPG for those looking for a "themepark" experiencie. It is filled with plenty of content, and it is almost bug-free, so Trion has definetly achieved what they were trying to: a good, complete and polite massive online game.

No going back is the best chapter in this second season because has hard decisions to made, great characters and a great open ending.

One of the best Wii Ware games we've tried so far, that's basically everything that we can say about Swords and Soldiers. If you're looking for a funny, strange and interesting Real Time Strategy game, don't think it twice, just go and buy it. If you don't, give it a try, it's a very good game despite not having an online feature. Still, it's worth to play against any friend. You won't regret it.

Telltale does it again. The Wolf Among Us has shown that you didn't need the the emotional hook of the first season of The Walking Dead to work. It´s a different beast, more subtle, more meaty and with more to show under the surface.

Child of Eden is probably what Rez was meant to be. Regardless of some minor issues, Mizuguchi's new musical shooter on rails is the best of what Kinect has accomplished so far.

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.

A deserved tribute to one of the most special SNES games. A classic that returns in the best possible way.

Super Meat Boy is now one of the most beloved indie legends, and the switch version makes it justice. A game that truly stands the test of time arrives to his true home.

More than a decade has passed since we listen for first time those four words, "listen to my story". A lot has passed, an change in the RPG genre. But with these HD versions, one can travel through time and doesn't live the High Definition visual style at the same time. Final Fantasy X is still an astonishing role playing game, with a great battle system, dramatic story and iconic characters. FF X-2 maybe is a step down, or a change of direction, but it's still a great game since its battle system point and a curiosity that a true Final fan must try, at least once in a lifetime. The most complete versions of two examples of how high and great the Japan RPG was one, full of nostalgia in every polygon now in HD.

Hell Let Loose is a great alternative for those looking for hardcore shooters set in WWII.

Pit is back in his best shape. Kid Icarus Uprising is one of the most interesting games for Nintendo 3DS in 2012. Tons of content and unlockables, hours of gameplay, a true innovative difficulty system and an interesting use of 3D. Masahiro Sakurai's seal of quality.

Everhood is a unique product thanks to a message which makes an impression to the player. It’s a philosophical and very human history, even if the supporting characters are not up to the standard. The playability, with a significant original soundtrack, is also one-of-a-kind.

Anno 2070 is a new and attractive offer for fans of the genre, as it is a clear successor of Anno 1404. But Blue Byte's work still suffers the same defects as always: oversimplification of commercial, diplomatic and military elements. However, this is a high quality title and a perfect choice if you liked any of the Anno series titles.

And if you've never gone through any Anno-game, you will have a good opportunity to jump into the genre.
