    If everything else worked as expected, it would be a great game, but at the moment all its good intentions fall behind too many technical issues.

    Rebellion is a very interesting title, engaging, fun and full of good ideas. It obviously relies on in-app purchases and it can get a little bit demanding sometimes, but it still is worth a try.

    This is a great version of a great game. It plays great on the Switch, both on TV and on handheld.

    Digital Eclipse has done a great job again to let us rediscover some classics by SNK. We miss some more modern games, but it still a very solid collection.

    Omen of Sorrow is a quite interesting fighting game with some original ideas, but its gameplay and cast have quite a lot to improve.

    Chimparty is a fun and crazy game you should try if you enjoy PlayLink with friends. It isn’t the best party game, but you’ll have a good time with it.

    Spyro is back with a beautiful remaster, hindered by some technical issues. We hope Toys for Bob patches it to enhance the experience, because other than that, it’s a great collection of classic platforms that still hold up very well.

    If you can deal with Game Boy-like graphics, you’ll find a very interesting game that reminds us of Kirby, but it is much more than that. Challenging and surprising, we think it deserves an opportunity.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    On one hand, we have a beautiful game that polishes the already great core of the franchise, but on the other hand we find an alarming lack of content. We have a very solid foundation, and we can only wait and see what the future brings.

    One of the best quiz games of the generation is back with more questions and mini games. If you enjoyed the previous one, doesn’t miss it out.

    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.

    First of all, hats off to Square Enix for trying something different. We would’ve loved for this game to be good, but it fails at pretty much everything it tries. It’s a sad outcome for an interesting concept, and we hope this doesn’t discourages the team from trying to make something unique again.

    Shawarmageddon is a lot of fun, although it doesn’t add a lot of new features apart from a big one, online multiplayer. If you haven’t played it before, you’ll find a very interesting and accessible strategy game.
    • 77 Metascore

    11-11: Memories Retold has a purpose: telling a story, and that’s what it does best. Gameplay wise it feels a little bit weak, but it really shines when it comes to the narrative.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Hitman 2 feels more like a second season rather than a sequel, but that’s not a bad thing at all. It is bigger, better and more complex, and offers even more possibilities for fans of stealth games.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is one of the best entries of the series. It looks and sounds amazing, and it plays great as well. We miss a multiplayer mode, but other than that, it’s a fantastic Tetris experience that allows you to play this classic like you would’ve never imagined.
    • 51 Metascore

    Overkill’s TWD is a game meant to be played with friends. If you want to enjoy a coop experience and you like the series, it’s probably a good choice, although if you’re playing alone you would probably better off looking elsewhere.

    Just Dance is back with new songs and more moves. It doesn’t bring anything particularly new, but it's still fun.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Drum ’n’ Fun is a great rhythm game. It’s very, very Japanese, but that’s what makes it so charming to us. Whether you’re just trying to beat your own score or challenging your friends with mini games, this is a game you need to try.

    Déraciné works as a simplified graphic adventure or as a slightly elaborated walking simulator, but it’s very disappointing as a VR game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This Rollcage tribute feels actually quite fresh, and proves this type of arcade racer still has a lot of potential. As a game, it has some rough edges, but we’ve had a great time with it.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is actually a pretty interesting game, with a good roster and fun gameplay, although it’s a better choice for fans of the franchise rather than for hardcore fighting fans.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    There’s pretty much nothing good about this game. We know it’s made for children, but even children won’t be able to enjoy this at all.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This entry is a pretty big step forward in the franchise. There are a lot of small and big features and improvements that make it the most complete and advanced football manager simulator in the market.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is a fantastic version of one of the most addictive and satisfying games in the last decade. A must-have if you haven’t played it yet, or if you want to hunt demons at home and on the go.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Call of Cthulhu is a very entertaining adventure, particularly for Lovecraft fans. It is quite simple difficulty and gameplay-wise, but the story is engaging. More complex mechanics and a longer experience would’ve made it much better.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Thronebreaker combines RPG, cards and an excellent narrative. If you want to know more about The Witcher’s world and like card-based games, this is an absolute must-have.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The quality of these games is out of question, but as a rerelease it’s a little bit disappointing. We wished Konami had pushed it a little bit further, but it still is a good way to enjoy these classics.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is a very interesting detective game, some sort of single player Cluedo, absorbing and fun. If you like solving murders and unique games, you cannot miss this one.

    Party Hard 2 evolves its formula and visuals a little bit to deliver an enjoyable experience for those who like stealth games.

    RDRII is a masterpiece —a game everyone who even slightly enjoys video games should play. It is not very innovative, but it excels at everything it does, creating a world and characters that will remain with us for a long, long time.

    Reigns and Game of Thrones look like they were meant to be. The original gameplay was fantastic, and now it makes the most of it with a very respectful approach to the successful franchise.

    This is a very interesting adventure, full of humor and surprises. It mixes some well-known concepts to create something unique, replayable and addictive.

    This is one of the best LEGO games we’ve played in a while. There’s nothing surprising or challenging here if you know the formula, but there is a lot of fun.

    Wandersong proves there are still many things no one has done in a video game before. Gameplay and story-wise is great, and even though the controls still need some tweaking, it’s a game you should try if you’re looking for something original.

    Luigi’s Mansion hasn’t aged particularly well, and if you’ve played its sequel it feels like a step backwards. All in all, it is a charming adventure and still quite enjoyable.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As a remastered it is not perfect, with some hiccups when playing docked, but it is quite solid, and being able to play Dark Souls anywhere with this quality is just a dream come true.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This sequel is a step forward in pretty much every aspect. It is a very good option if you want to play with friends, although you’ll feel it falls a little bit short when it comes to single player content.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    We do miss the campaign and there are some rough edges, but Black Ops IIII is an excellent multiplayer experience. The battle royale and the zombie modes are a blast and, overall, we think CoD fans will love this new entry.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Omega Force slightly tweaks its musou formula to deliver a very good, fun and frenetic game. It's not meant to be a revolution, but it does deliver what musou fans can expect from the series.

    • 85 Critic Score
    SoulCalibur is back with a great game that is a pleasure to play. We are not very happy with the DLC policy or the Reversal Edge moves, but everything else is very, very good.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This title is a very interesting boss rush with some really good ideas, but it failed to get the most important thing right: its gameplay. It's a shame that it came short gameplay-wise, since the concept was fantastic.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This shooter is a pretty good surprise, since it adds some unexpected tactic elements to the gameplay to offer an interesting and not-so-arcade experience.

    Tatics is a good turn-based strategy game Warhammer fans will love. It could've used a campaign with more focus on the narrative to keep us more engaged, though.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Little Dragons Cafe is a game targeted at a younger audience, and we think it succeeds in delivering a good experience for them. More experienced players won't find them that enjoyable, but we think it's entertaining anyway.
    • 74 Metascore

    Starlink is a solid and interesting title with some good ideas, and the physical ships work pretty well. It may get a little bit repetitive, but overall is an enjoyable adventure.

    Swery's touch keeps the whole adventure interesting, although many issues regarding its control make it hard to enjoy sometimes. It is definitely unique, but it needs some polishing.

    Disgaea is as good as it was 15 years ago, although visual update aside, you won’t find anything new here.

    TWEWY is a very unique game JRPG fans cannot miss. Control-wise we don’t like the this version that much, but other than that, it has aged pretty well.

    WWE fans will find here the best wrestling game 2K has ever published, with a more polished gameplay and nice additions like the Showcase mode. However, it doesn’t seem to try and fix some of the series long-running issues that fans have been complaining about.

    This is an excellent platform and a must-have for PSVR owners. It shows off what virtual reality can be, creating an incredibly fun game and surprising you in ways you didn’t think it was possible. It is definitely a reason to buy a PSVR headset.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Everything works quite well, except for one of the most important parts: the control. It's a shame such a good concept hasn't had a better execution, because with a better control it would've been a much better experience.

    Hokuto no Ken fans will love this game, although it's not as good as the franchise it borrows from, Yakuza. Still, a good and enjoyable adventure.

    Watch Blasters has some good ideas, but it ends up feeling repetitive and wearing out a concept that could’ve pushed the series a little but further.

    Odyssey is fun and beautiful, but instead of trying to offer something new and fresh, it follows last entry’s steps way too closely. It’s a good, enjoyable game, but can also be quite boring sometimes since it choses to give player quantity over quality.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    FighterZ is an incredible game, and this version is as good as the others. It’s a shame the Joy-Con is not great for this type of game, because other than that, being able to play FighterZ anywhere is like a dream come true.

    • 76 Critic Score
    Dontnod proves again they are able to create great stories with characters we care about, but this time the experience is much more lineal, decisions don’t seem to matter that much, and the lack of special powers makes the gameplay less diverse and exciting.

    This is an interesting way of discovering Final Fantasy XV, although it’s way too easy and simple. If that’s how you want to experience the game, it’s not a bad option, though.

    We didn’t think it was possible, but Horizon 4 is even better than its predecessor. Playground Games is one of the best studios out there and has proved that it is possible to do new things in racing games. If you like the genre, even if it's just a tiny bit, please give it a try.
