    Heroes of Dragon Age
    The idea is good, but the implementation is not. At the moment, the game abuses the free-to-play model, so we can only hope for a future update of its gameplay and in-app purchases system.

    Q REMASTERED
    There is a great idea behind Q, but the difficulty and its imprecise control make it hard to recommend.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified
    It feels unfinished and rushed through development. We really think it could've been polished to make it a better game, but unless an important patch comes out, it's really hard to recommend taking into account all the constant crashes when playing online and the extremely short single player modes.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan
    This is one of the biggest disappointments of the year. It's boring, dull and feels like a wasted opportunity to do something that lives up to the old beat 'em ups these turtles gave us.

    Quantum Theory
    There were some promising things in Quantum Theory: its story, its narrative and even the relationship between characters. But the game has constant ups and downs, and the global result is not worthy.

    Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions
    Of the six games, only two are original and made for Nintendo 3DS, and are indeed the ones that dissapoint. The rest of games are as fun as ever, but there are much more ways to obtain them. We also miss multiplayer modes.

    SOULCALIBUR Unbreakable Soul
    Behind an interesting concept, there's too much emphasis on in-app purchases and little on strategy, creating a disappointing experience.

    World of Zoo
    World of Zoo is a mediocre simulator, both considering it a zoo management simulator as treating it within the "animal care" genre, like the Nintendogs series.

    Supremacy MMA
    A failed game, whose initial idea was attractive and different, and might have become an alternative to the two dominant series. Unfourtunately, 505 Games has failed implementing it, resulting in a lackluster game with a very bad control.

    Sonic Jump Fever
    This is a wasted opportunity. Not only an empty gameplay, but also a confusing interface, lots of adds and in-app purchases from the very beginning.

    LIGHT (2014)
    The idea is good, and it manages to entertain, but the experience is extremely shot, so you might want to wait for an offer to buy it.

    Die by the Blade
    Die by the Blade captures the essence of Bushido Blade with its lethal combat and limb-targeting mechanics, offering a unique blend of strategy akin to soulslike games, though it lacks key aspects of any combat style, such as depth and longevity. The game's realism in weapon-based combat shines through intense duels, yet its brief matches undermine strategic potential, and this, together with its lack of content, makes it hard to recommend.

    LEGO Brawls
    Brawls has an interesting idea for a video game, but its gameplay is so simple that stops being fun after a few hours.

    Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash
    The game disappoints with its lack of content and subpar combat mechanics, failing to capture the essence of the anime despite its appealing character roster. Additionally, its online-focused approach limits its longevity, making it a hard sell even for die-hard fans.

    The Elder Scrolls: Blades
    Blades doesn’t live up to the expectations players have for this franchise. It has some interesting features, but its gameplay and an old-fashioned free-to-play design make it very forgettable.

    The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia
    This is a missed opportunity to make something memorable.The franchise has a lot of potential, but the result is a mediocre experience and its fans deserve a better game.

    Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic
    Cooking Mama 4 is a wasted opportunity. There are no remarkable new features in gameplay, the graphics have not been revised to make the most of 3D, and it makes no difference to the Nintendo DS entries, which is a shame. It will only result interesting for those who are newcomers to the series.

    Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust
    This Box Office Bust is a sample of how to change what worked completely for the worse.

    Dragon Ball Z for Kinect
    A very poor game, only recommendable for kids who love the series and would love to throw some punches and kicks while playing as the characters they watch on TV. A video game that would not live up to the expectations set by Kinect or Dragon Ball Z.

    System Flaw Recruit
    It's a pity this innovative proposal for DSiWare has so few content.

    Voodoo Dice
    This is an interesting proposal, and Voodoo Dice might have offered a superior final result with good level design. But the games doesn't get to achieve what it intended for a variety of flaws.

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
    It was a good opportunity to reinvigorate and polish the series and adapt to the final adventures of this characters. But the changes have been executed poorly, and that results in gameplay defects.

    Agony
    Agony has good ideas, but the developers have underrated the complexity of the survival horror genre, and delivered a frustrating experience. Add its poor performance and bugs and you get a forgettable game.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Destiny 2
    To sum up, we can say that despite having more than average graphics and a decent fighting system, Naruto Ninja Destiny 2 doesn't meet expectations. Its only notable improvement in comparison with the previous game is the varied character roster we can choose from.

    Tempo
    Tempo becomes a victim of its own idea. It's such a spectacular experience that forgets about what makes a game fun: the gameplay.

    R.I.P.D. The Game
    As a game it's just ok, but there are some quite frustrating issues –as the cover system– that end up weakening the final experience.

    Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
    This is an interesting toy, but as a game it’s definitely limited. We’re sure younger players will love it, although we would have liked to see a more ambitious take on the concept.

    Forza Horizon 6
    In short, we have no doubt that Forza Horizon 6 is going to be a great game, and it is clear to us that Playground has mastered this formula like few other studios in the industry. However, we also believe that—for such an established franchise—simply playing it safe and switching countries is no longer enough. Japan is a fine choice, the core foundation remains fantastic, and there are some promising details; yet, right now, we need to see far more evidence—and significantly more content—to determine whether we are witnessing a true leap forward for the series or merely another beautiful excursion to the Horizon Festival.

    Crimson Desert
    Pearl Abyss delivers an exceptionally ambitious open-world epic that pushes technical boundaries with its proprietary BlackSpace Engine. Although the combat is visceral and the world is visually breathtaking, the title currently suffers from a lack of focus and inconsistent narrative quality. Despite these flaws, its sheer magnitude makes it a fascinating, if uneven, experience for RPG enthusiasts.
    • 83 Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Ring Fit Adventure
    It is a complete experience that fulfills its objectives in a remarkable way, a video game with all the usual elements in a role story and that gives a fun purpose to the fact of sweating, and is one of the best exergaming games we have seen.
