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.

Touchdown's done it again. 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.

NBA 2K keeps being the best basketball game made so far in the story of videogames, which is something to feel proud about. However, we hope for bolder advances in the future to push the formula harder.

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.

F1 2012 is the best Formula One simulator in the present generation. You can feel the car every time you turn and the new modes are very entertaining and demanding. In F1 2012 you really are a Formula One driver.

WarGroove wants to become a fiercely competitive game for this old genre; and this brand new Chucklefish title does it. However, at the end of the day, it is not deep nor complex enough to be excellent.

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.

Layton's latest adventure is his best for the time being. 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!

F1 23 offers the best driving within the franchise. This is the kind of evolution we expected after the introduction of the new F1 rules back in 2022.

If the remake of Dragon Quest III was as faithful as possible to the original, the remake of Dragon Quest I and II is a flood of new features and changes that result in something just as good—if not better. One of the best and most complete remakes ever made.

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.
