Locomalito´s shoot em up is one of the best games the genre has seen over the years. Inspired by the games of yesteryear, improves their legacy in many ways with no need for a revolution. Go for it if you´ve ever enjoyed Gradius, R-Type or Darius.

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.

The arrival of Horizon Zero Dawn to PC does not achieve the global quality of what has already been seen with Decima Engine in terms of optimization. However, in ultra quality it offers a different (and great) way to enjoy the work of Guerrilla Games.

Kill with Skill is a perfect slogan for an action game with so many ways of executing enemies. Filled with a great sense of humour, the main campaign is the star in this game. It was designed in a way that we always find new things to do, completing the incredibly large list of skills with a good variety of weapons and situations. You really have to think before you act, planning how you're going to attack in order to get greatest amount points that is possible, taking into account not only the enemies, but the environment. But when you finish the game... you have two options: you're really competitive and want to be the first one in the charts, or you just abandon the game because of its lack of cooperative mode or an interesting multiplayer. Regardless, but you should not miss such a unique campaign.

30th Anniversary Collection is an great tribute to the best fighting franchise in the nineties. Solid netcode, good secrets, extras and gameplay that are still fine.

CyberConnect2 makes the most impressive use of Cel Shading technique to this day to deliver a fantastic experience for Naruto fans. With its excellent animation and fluidity, Ninja Storm captures the spirit of Naruto even better than the animated series, perfect for an easy going game designed by fans for fans. With some type of online combat mode it would be the perfect experience for the entusiasts of Kishimoto's manga.

Wario Ware Do It Yourself is what people have been expecting for a long time. The level editor is so simple that it amazes how different the microgames you can generate with it can be along with the melodies from the great music editor. You even have the option to upload them to the Internet or share it with your friends Nintendo consoles, Wii and DS. Your limit is your imagination.

Platinum Games' last tittle proves the wait was worth it. Directed by Shinji Mikami, it delivers non-stop fast-paced action, breathless battles that boosts the adrenaline to the highest levels.

The new adventure of Adol Christin results in a notable game that keeps many of the features seen in the previous title with new ones that are mixing with an interesting story, a charismatic cast of companions and plenty of side content to do.

Extremely innovative and supremely charming, this is a perfect example of how game developers can continue to innovate on the metroidvania genre without necessarily looking towards other games as inspiration.

Tribes: Ascend is a highly recommended MMOFPS. It's a frantic game that won't allow us to rest or relax, and will require cunning and skill in equal measure. The chosen business model allows us to progress enough without spending any money, and this will last while HiReZ Studios keeps on betting on balance. If you were a previous lover of Tribes games, you should be already downloading this one, right now.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade's a piece of art, or art by itself. It's a simple beat 'em up that's set on the early Japanese history, mainly focused on the personal story of two wanderers that're trying to earn a living smashing every enemy that's set on their way. It's one of the most interesting games for this console, lacking an in-depth story, but still a very joyful one.

"Somewhere, beyond the sea" is where we begin this new Danganronpa, a great example of Visual Novel used for something else than dating naïve schoolgirls. Ace Attorney meets Battle Royale in this tense game with a slow tempo that establishes its own rules. It is practically the same formula than the first game, but expanded, with new things an a very exotic location. And trials with minigames and shooter elements that can take us hours to solve this very well written and narrated Whodunit.

Disgaea 4 is still Disgaea, but better, improved and with a very welcomed graphical update. Tons of systems and subsystems focused on creating a crazy sandbox where the rules exist to be broken. Add a really good story, charming characters and the, as usual, excellent soundtrack and you have a fantastic entry into the series.

Thrilling. Funny. And visually stunning. No, we are not talking about Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3 or Batman: Arkham City, but about The Book of Unwritten Tales, one of the most beautiful graphic adventures seen in the last years that now finally comes to Europe.

5 years of development have lead to the creation of this beautiful and imaginative platformer which combines pinball mechanics with a metroidvania structure, sprinkled with charming characters, colorful environments and an island that feels alive.

Although understandable being just a remake and not a new entry, Yakuza Kiwami lacks the huge amount of content found in recent instalments of the franchise, but it does a great job updating the plot of the first entry in the franchise to later innovations and improvements, as well as current (although a bit dated) graphics.

One might say that The Banner Saga is somewhat halfway between the classic The Oregon Trail and Kingdom of Dragon Pass, mixed with tactical turn-based combat and a story that covers the epic feats of the Norse gods. A new example of the portentous level which independent developments continue to achieve, each day more and more about overcoming some of the major productions. From its humble mechanical and its simple-but-stunning visual style, we have a solid, exciting and unique title in its genre supported by an interesting plot line that offers us decisiveness. One of the best indies of this early 2014.

GoldenEye is not the remake many were expecting, and it doesn't live up to the original. GoldenEye is its own game, a new entry on James Bond's series, with great plot and gameplay and, even more important, one of the best FPS out there for the Nintendo Wii.

Continuist? without doubt Tropico 4 is more an expansion than a sequel and the new elements are only complementary to the same key mechanics and ideas from Tropico 3. However, it's still a quality game and the much welcomed refinements and light improvements make it a better game. Especially recommended for players with no experience in Tropico, but still a good buy for any maganement fan.

Pokemon Ultrasun and Ultramoon is basically an enhanced version of Sun and Moon. The changes are very welcome but if you have played the previous games, perhaps the new features are not enough.

Take a look at the latest platform games of the DS and, now, expend one minute to see Henry Hatsworth in action. This iconic gentlemen has a hilarious story to tell you, fusing at the same time puzzle and platform genres with an extraordinary ability. Without any doubt, one of the best DS games of the year.

Pokemon Ultrasun and Ultramoon is basically an enhanced version of Sun and Moon. The changes are very welcome but if you have played the previous games, perhaps the new features are not enough.

Signalis is a love letter for the classic survival horror genre and that kind of fear and sci-fi mix that never fails. One of the surprises of this year.

A giant game in all aspects that conveys the sensation of influence on the virtual world. Some failures in control are the most negative point, but ELEX is a new vindication of Piranha Bytes.

Mafia II follows the steps of the first one, showing that there is more than one way to use sandbox space. Others will argue that the beautifully built Empire Bay is underused as a virtual space, but one must praise the ambition of a studio willing to build such scenario to add character and background to his heavily scripted story. Mafia II's narrative shows the way for other games with similar ambitions.

Slime Rancher oozes personality and style, being a clear labour of love. It comes highly recommended and is sure to please young and old alike.

One of the sleepers of the year.
