Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen offers more challenge, monsters and secrets than the original Dragon's Dogma experience. Hours and hours of monsters, tough challenges and big map full of treasures. Some technical problems and limited online functions temper this ambitious project.

Two years later, Assassin's Creed tries again to make real those promises from Ubisoft, and prove itself as a better game than it was. The truth is that, despite the Renaissance setting, the vivid locations and the historical landmarks, the new features added don't really improve the sequel: the same repetitive mechanics remain, as well as a flawed enemy AI, a rough combat system and moments of frustration coming from issues with the camera and the control response in the platform sections. Assassin's Creed II is still a good game but far from the masterpiece Ubisoft has been promising.

This new entry in the series has almost the same gameplay and visuals, but it delivers a fun experience, with some new features and an engaging story. It's probably the game that every fan of previous games expected it to be.

WarioWario: Move It! is the king of the living room for Nintendo Switch in 2023, with permission from Mario Party. The way in which Intelligent System takes advantage of the capabilities of the Joy-Con gives us an easy-to-play delivery that captivates you from the first microgame.

MotoGP 25 is probably the best installment of the franchise since it took over from Milestone. The Italians have finally been able to combine their expertise with a greater number of options and game modes, giving a new lease of life to the most popular title, Career.

Children of the Sun is a magnificent and original fusion of a sniper and puzzle game, with a bizarre and decadent aesthetic that evokes the Suda 51 games. Highly replayable, we loved its proposal, and just the fact that it ends abruptly in its best moment prevents it from becoming a modern classic.

It is not perfect; it is far, very far from the intentions of other IPs like Medal of Honor. And, the most significant thing: It's a war game without shooting mechanics. Valiant Hearts: The Great War not only tells us the story of the First World War, that one that seems not to be very interesting looking all the games based on WWII, but it tells it with a visual sense of pure art, the only one that the UbiArt engine achieves. It is about soldiers and battles, about lost and death, but also about things the new generations should know, because it is our story after all. Visual novel concepts mix with the core of the graphic adventure, and the result needs some adjustment and balance here and there, but it is one of those experiences that can touch us.

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is a huge addition to Borderlands and delivers new enemy types, new weapons, new quests, new vehicles and rises the level cap to 61. Last but not least, it offers the chance to face the most dangerous enemy we've ever found in the game. Great fun and a good epilogue to one of the sleeper blockbusters of last year.

A good homage to Arkham Asylum and Arkham city. Forcefully derivative, but Warner Montreal can feel proud of releasing such a competent, focused and well-made sequel that captures the elements of the two previous games.

This new entry in the series has almost the same gameplay and visuals, but it delivers a fun experience, with some new features and an engaging story. It's probably the game that every fan of the previous games expected it to be.

The GamePad introduces a fifth player, career map, rear-view mirror ... This edition of Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed is the most complete and with possibilities for a fun title that stands out this year and it assembles all of Sega's stars.

Gorgeous 2D visuals, great music and fast faced gameplay sounds like a great tribute to the 80's.

The combination of arcade and simulator games feels great on this title making everything just work in the way that it should.

Call of Pripyat is a return to the best S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the one which impressed us the first time with its fascinating setting. The Zone is again that scenario that chill us with its mystery and GSC shows they can listen to the fans and that they understand well what made great the series in first place. The only problem is a dangerous feeling of familiarity that goes badly with this kind of game, so we hope to see a deep evolution for the next project of the Ukrainian team, but meanwhile we'll enjoy the most polished entry of the series.

The new Lego Batman takes a step forward and is a terrific tribute to the character’s recent mythology through Nolan and Rocksteady, but it still falls short of being the definitive Lego game.

Complex, hard as hell and extremely satisfying, this is a beautiful game mainly for the extremely adept. If you're not interested in speed-running, look elsewhere.

With its combat system being easily to learn and play and with quite a large amount of content, this title becomes an interesting alternative in the genre and for the series fans.

A good recovery from 2K that puts the WWE back to its expected level in videogames.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is more frenetic and spectacular than other Ace Combat games, but simple. A new way into the franchise with intense campaign and good multiplayer.

Lost Sphear is an homage the old-school JRPG genre, while adding strategy mechanics into its easy-to-master gameplay and holds a good rhythm in its narrative. Its world-building is captivating, yet its characters lack originality in design and charisma.

Another solid chapter on William's new adventure, Defiant Honor captures the cruelty of war while bringing more of the excellent Nioh gameplay. It also ends soon enough, so it leaves us already wanting the third and final DLC.

Amid the Ruins has great moments but isn't the best episode in terms of climax. However, it's a good step before the final stop in Clem's journey.

Dracula evolves once again with the Mercury Steam crew by offering a 20 hour action-packed adventure with a beautiful design and interesting mechanics. Even thought it has some shadows (stealth doesn't fit well into the formula), this game is worth a buy.

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.

The first Inazuma Eleven to be launched on 3DS is also one of the best chapters of the franchise we've played so far. The new graphics-engine and the new gameplay features make GO a whole new experience that's worth buying.

This is the last entry of the original Phoenix Wright trilogy. It includes all-new runabouts that are set in the past and present of the ace attorney. The story is very well-driven, and it links every character in the game with each other, leading to a great conclusion. Sure, it's not the best DS game at a technical level, but it offers everything that we want in a Phoenix Wright game: it's fun, big, interesting and charming.

The Escapists 2 expands the idea of the original title and goes beyond; it packs a lot of prisons from which we can find some original and sometimes funny ways of escape. And this time, we can bring friends to the party, since it has cooperative and versus modes.

A living manual of how to update a classic: getting the core idea and expanding and inventing new situations around it. InXile has done a really good work with this Choplifter HD, making it a really recommended purchase for any fan of the original.
