These are three great games you shouldn't miss, so this is a great opportunity if you missed them before. The port could have been better, but having the Sly trilogy on a handheld is, indeed, tempting.

Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces is not a revolutionary expansion, but still a great amount of content for a fair price that will satisfy both casual and hardcore players of the franchise.

Dropsy is a very interesting classic graphic adventure, as long as you like bizarre story and characters.

NBA 2K21 feels like a new game on the new consoles. From the graphics to the gameplay, all the way to the new city, it all feels next gen. It still shares the micro transaction greediness with the previous generation, but that aside, it keeps to deliver an excellent basketball game.

Quotation forthcoming.

This game takes known ideas and merge them into innovative gameplay. It's addictive and fun, even though it feels sometimes chaotic, but it definitely deserves a try.

As a remaster or collection, we expected something better, but the quality of the games still is fantastic. If you’re thinking about (re)discovering this excellent trilogy, it’s not a bad option.

A very interesting experience for those who enjoy surviving, particularly if they're also looking for something new in the horror genre.

Loads of new content, with minor additions and huge ones, sticking to the core of the series and totally recommended for anyone interested in them.

Sword and Shield are a lot of fun and, at the same time, it’s also a disappointing evolution of the series. The core gameplay still works great, but Game Freak needs to listen to the constructive feedback and live up to the expectations of the franchise.

Skate keeps improving, but this new installment doesn't offer many new things.

If you've ever played and enjoyed a 2D platform game, you cannot miss this one. Another title that proves that this genre, long forgotten, is back.

It does have some technical issues, but when it comes to gameplay is very solid and fun, and after all, that what matters.

It's one of the best game of the series, ideal for any mobile/touch device, that plays well and holds many hours of fun.

Prison Architect is a game that knows how to make you think thanks to a deep and well-designed execution full of possibilities.

Ashborne Games and THQ Nordic offer a combination of adventure, survival and real-time strategy games set in the aftermath of World War I, where you must guide a group of soldiers across Siberia in a train. The game features a compelling narrative, a challenging management system, and a stealth-oriented gameplay, but suffers from a cluttered interface, a slow start, and some balance and AI issues.

Gust successfully reinvents the Atelier formula with a new protagonist, an expansive world full of secrets, and refined synthesis mechanics. However, its slow pacing, predictable story, and underdeveloped secondary characters prevent it from reaching greater heights.

Doom Eternal is also an excellent game on Switch, and even if this version isn’t the best, it is a good option for those who just want to play it anywhere.

Ultimately Trine is a title no fan of adventure and platforming should let escape.

This is an intense and satisfying adventure, full of challenges to guide us through its dungeons. It isn't revolutionary, but if you like the series, give it a try.

This is a bigger-and-better sequel that expands on pretty much everything the original did. If you enjoyed the first title, you don’t want to miss this one.

Ace Combat 7 delivers one of the most epic, intense and polished entries of the franchise. An excellent title that could only be improved by expanding its multiplayer and its VR mode.

This new episode still is a great baseball simulator, but we think fans deserve a truly relevant step forward. If you own MLB 14, you should think twice, but if you don't and you like baseball, you won't find anything better.

This is the biggest and the most challenging episode of the series, although in terms of performance is a little bit disappointing. Still, it's great game for any hunters out there with a Switch.

If you like real-time strategy games, or if you enjoyed the first one, this is a game you can't miss. It's not a revolution, but it polishes the original experience.

RiME is a beautiful adventure, very solid gameplay-wise and visually stunning. It isn't very original or challenging, but it has personality, and if you like this type of game we're sure you're going to love it.

Red Steel 2 is a great game that offers an efficient combination of sword and gun and won't disappoint those who try it.

This is a great example of how a remake should be made. It brings the series to 2017 but it's extremely respectful with the original concept. The best news, though, is that the three games are still a lot of fun, and you can enjoy them again looking better than ever.

It is more lucid and at the same time makes you burn more calories.

Even though it might be aimed at a less general audience, it's a very complete expansion, that lives up to the bar set for previous episodes.

Self-defined as a "slow game", The Rivers of Alice is a game with a lot of effort put into it, that creates an, indeed, slow but satisfying experience users will enjoy if they are willing to live a tale in the shape of a graphic adventure.

We've enjoyed the time we've spent with this 'complete edition' of Skulls of Shogun. It's fun, and ideal if you want to become initiated in strategy games.

Odallus is a game that wants to bring back the feeling of the first Castlevania but that's it. There's no innovation here, just the good ol' gameplay and MSX visuals. If that's what you want, it won't disappoint.

Rampage Knights is a very interesting old-school beat 'em up. It doesn't offer anything particularly original, but it's fun and addictive.

If you like puzzles, Circa Infinity is a game you don't want to miss. Original, well designed and challenging, it's an experience that will definitely test you.

Amanita Design has created yet another wonderful adventure. If you enjoyed their previous works or you just like the genre, Samorost 3 is a game you shouldn't miss.

Seraph's strengths are more relevant than its weaknesses, and those who enjoy a challenge and testing their skills will find a quite interesting title here.

Battle Chef Brigade is beautiful, original and works better than you would expect from a game that mixes such different genres. One of the last surprises of the year.

This is just a great version of one of the best remakes in the history of video games. It holds up incredibly well, and it’s one of those games everyone should play at least once.

Mr Driller is as addictive as it was on GameCube. If you’re looking for a puzzle game to play with friends, you should give this a try.

Foregone is a good metroidvania we can recommend to those fans who have already played all the great games in the genre and are still looking for more.

Despite its modest production values, Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes delivers deep and engaging 2D fighting gameplay, with a diverse roster of characters and robust online features. However, its lack of additional modes and unremarkable presentation may deter some players.

Promenade offers a charming and accessible platforming experience, drawing heavily from classic inspirations like Super Mario Odyssey, yet struggles to innovate beyond its references. While its simplistic mechanics are engaging and its progression smooth, it falls short in offering a truly unique identity. Despite its shortcomings, it's a delightful entry point for newcomers to the genre or a pleasant diversion for platforming enthusiasts.

On paper, Is This Game Trying to Kill Me? may seem very similar to Tormenture (which we also recommend), but in reality they are very different games. Is This Game Trying to Kill Me? is a much more puzzle-oriented game, and the horror is minor. It's a short (and also cheap) title with very clever and well-planned puzzles, a good setting, and a concept that works very well. It's about three hours long, which we think is fantastic for those who enjoy the genre, and it also has a free prologue that lasts about 30 minutes, which we encourage you to try whether you're convinced to buy the full game or not, since it's a separate adventure.

Windswept delivers a fantastic platforming experience, brimming with personality and well-designed levels, constantly surprising players with varied mechanics. However, its design falters under increasing difficulty, leading to unnecessary frustration, particularly for those pursuing 100% completion due to punishing checkpoint placement.

This is a solid ARPG that shines thanks to its story, characters, setting and art direction.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion delivers a fantastic beat 'em up experience, brimming with undeniable charm for Marvel fans and genre enthusiasts. Its fluid, satisfying combat and diverse character roster shine, especially within the engaging Arcade mode. However, simplistic boss encounters and a shallow scoring system slightly diminish an otherwise essential and highly replayable brawler.

It is not as revolutionary as the previous game, its combat system has aged in this two years, and it lacks that freshness, but Fable 3 is still a huge game, able to engage the player and absorb him into the world of Albion. This one is better organized, first it shows us the many things we can do in the game world, and then it let us decide what we want to do. And it is still full of that fairytale magic.

Valorant is deep, complex and it always pushes you to do your best and become a better player. It has everything to offer great and intense matches, but it also requires and level of cooperation and commitment that won’t appeal all players.

If you want a break from action games and you're willing to give a visual novel a try, this is a good option, with interesting plot twists that will keep you playing till you finish it.

You might not enjoy its concept, but if you do, then you'll find a big game with a lot of possibilities. We hope Activision will keep on improving the series, but so far it's going the right way.

Still the game we played in 2014, and still a great game. There aren’t a lot of additions, but when rollback is implemented online matches should improve noticeably.

This is one of the best games on the Wii and arguably the best first-person shooter made for the console.

One of the most influential indie games arrives on Switch with a great version. It doesn’t offer anything particularly relevant if you’ve already played it, but if you haven’t, it’ll make you experience in a very interesting game the awful reality many people fight everyday.

Evil Empire delivers a fluid, stylish roguelite with excellent platforming, engaging combat, and strong audiovisual design that keeps each run fresh and rewarding, though it still lacks a bit of variety in enemies, environments, and builds to reach the very top of the genre.

Airship Syndicate delivers a solid RPG that you can enjoy whether you’re familiar or not with League of Legends, that also improves what Battle Chasers: Nightwar already did well.

Ragdoll Blaster 3 is a classic sequel that adds everything we expect from one: more levels, more options and more ragdoll to "shoot". With a very competitive price and a very long duration, maybe its gameplay is a bit overused, but it still works.

This third entry evolves and improves the formula to make it engaging and fun. The new combat system and the great amount of mini games make this new episode a great option for Yo-Kai Watch fans.

Tales of Xillia Remastered offers substantial quality-of-life improvements like starting funds and battle retries, enhancing its robust combat and engaging characters. Yet, the graphical update is inconsistent, leaving large areas and secondary missions bland. The dual protagonist structure still requires two playthroughs for the full story, with one narrative path feeling less complete.

It's bigger and more complex than the original game, but it also has the same weaknesses. If you liked the first game, you'll like this one, and if you just want a very Japanese adventure, you'll be satisfied with Gravity Rush 2.

Behind what looks like a simplistic design, there's a game much more complex than you would think. Fun and addictive, it's a game that's worth a try.

Yes, it is yet another metroidvania, but even if doesn’t do anything particularly new or outstanding, it is a solid choice for fans of the genre.

Sword and Shield are a lot of fun and, at the same time, it’s also a disappointing evolution of the series. The core gameplay still works great, but Game Freak needs to listen to the constructive feedback and live up to the expectations of the franchise.

A fantastic musical adventure with its unique, wacky style that clashes (in a good way) with a cosmic setting and emotional themes.

Baseball fans don't have too many options available, and on Xbox One Super Mega Baseball is probably the best one so far, as long as they're happy with some Mii-like aesthetics.

Quotation forthcoming.

A good free-to-play game that, despite some flaws, is a lot of fun. It lacks some more game modes, a tutorial and more flexibility to set up matches, but it is a very enjoyable game for those wanting to give it a chance.

This fighting game offers deep, satisfying combat with a fresh REV system adding strategic depth, and a diverse roster of distinct characters, although its mode selection feels limited and its story mode somewhat uninspired; nevertheless, it shines online with smooth netcode and impresses visually with a unique cel-shaded art style and strong animations.

If you're looking for a great story, give OneShot a try. It won't give you many choices, but those you have will really matter. It's aimed at a certain audience, but this audience will love it.

Two of the greatest puzzle games join forces again with new modes for one or several players.

Dawn of War II keeps improving and shining. It is a game which will be liked both by seasoned strategy players and also newcomers.

This is a good collection with some big absences. We really appreciate what Capcom has tried to do to spice things up and help us rediscover these classics, although apart from those big names we also miss some extras to learn about the history of these arcades.

It works, entertains and reaches its objectives, but in future installments we'd like to see new elements in the formula.

This is a unique experience, one of those games you don't expect to surprise you or make you think, and then you're blown away. Brilliant writing and clever design work together to create a game you don't want to miss.

It's probably not going to get the recognition it deserves, but it's one of the best metroidvanias we've played in the last few years. If you like the genre, give it a try.

A polished evolution of what we saw last year, as if PES 2011 was midway to the goal PES 2012 has achieved. It changes some of the controls, and greatly enhances AI, although it still has its flaws, especially with the goalkeepers. But, above all, PES 2012 is a really engaging and fun football game, with much more variety and charm than previous entries.

It is another step forward for the franchise, that will bring its fans the opportunity of enjoy this card-based game in a virtual way.

One of the last "must-have" we'll see on Nintendo DS. It's simply one of the bests and most original SRPGs right now, with many hours of fun waiting for you and very interesting characters to lead us through the plot.

It’s been a tough start, but this is the way to go. If they keep polishing the experience and adding content, Los Santos is going to be our home for a long time.

The remake offers a captivating atmosphere and strong narrative with beautiful, detailed environments and improved character models, but its puzzles remain quite simple and the performance suffers occasional frame drops on consoles. Overall, it is a faithful update that will appeal to adventure fans new to the game despite some technical shortcomings.

PC players can enjoy now the remake of the first entry of the franchise. It is a good port, and although the game has its flaws, it still holds up quite well.

It feels like an update rather than a remaster, but remastered or not, it's a masterpiece you shouldn't miss.

Tooth and Tail is one of the most original strategy games we've played in years, with great art and very clever ideas very well implemented.

This year’s entry is a very solid football game. It includes some notable enhancements on the playable side, and it also looks great. A safe bet for football fans.

Men of War impresses once being played. The variety of options make Men of War a title worth noting, and its graphical quality and photography work is very praiseworthy.

This is the most polished and content-rich WWE game in years, with refined gameplay, improved animations, and a new open-world mode, The Island, adding fresh challenges. While Showcase mode lacks engaging match choices, the game excels in variety, technical execution, and depth, making it a must-play for wrestling fans.

Charming characters, a more than excellent music, hilarious situations and lots of humour is what we'll find in this series of Monkey Island stories.

Probably the weakest episode so far, even though it still keeps its essence and entertains. One way or another, we need to highlight its ending, telling us the final episode will be huge.

This is a beautiful platforming adventure with very clear inspirations. It starts better than it finishes, but overall, it manages to become a memorable experience.

Despite some minor flaws, like the exclusion of an online mode, or the absence of a story mode, Broken Destiny is one of the best fighting game in the portable console.

A visually stunning and emotionally reflective indie adventure focused on the bond between a shadowy protagonist and a luminous dog, Koira offers a charming and metaphorical experience with simple gameplay, though it could benefit from more gameplay variety and navigational tools.

REANIMAL delivers a stunning, fast-paced co-op horror adventure, visually captivating and brimming with conceptual power. It maintains a relentless rhythm and impressive scenario variety, especially for local play. However, its simple platforming and puzzles, alongside a broader lack of genre innovation, prevent it from truly breaking new ground.

This is one of the best JRPG from 2018, and now it’s available on PC with all its vices and virtues. If you don’t own a Switch or prefer playing on PC, it’s worth checking it out.

A great start for the fighting genre in PSVita and an excellent port of the original PS3 game from last November. It includes an easily forgettable touch mode, but its gameplay is great, its traditional controls are splendid and it offers lots of characters, although falls short in gameplay modes for one player.

Yes, it is the same game we played last year, but better and bigger. Fans of tactical RPGs shouldn't miss this opportunity.

Cryptark is a game that we've really enjoyed. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it doesn't have to to be an interesting challenge.

Having pets in The Sims 4 is great news, and even if it isn't the most original expansion, it still is a good addition to the game.

Pokémon is back with a faithful remake of the first adventure. We’ve loved going back to the original game with updated graphics and new mechanics, although we’ve found disappointing the lack of online multiplayer and a very limited endgame.
