Unless you want something that revolutionises the genre, The World Before is a fantastic adventure that offers a great story and even better puzzles.

Just correct as an adaptation, even though the quality of the games is as good as the originals were.

Capcom expands Monster Hunter Stories beyond its 3DS origins, now reaching PS4, Switch, and PC, offering an enhanced RPG experience with improved visuals and additional content, though the simplicity of its combat and story may feel somewhat dated compared to its superior sequel.

ITTA is a cleverly designed adventure that mixes up bullet hell and exploration. It’s a little bit short, but it’s a great experience for those who are interested in a challenge.

If you like ‘survival horror’, there is a lot of surviving and horror here. The performance and controls are not as good as on PC, but the core experience remains untouched, and it still is a great choice for those who want a new take on the genre.

This is a surprisingly solid adaptation to much less powerful hardware, that delivers the original vision with very minor compromises.

A fascinating game. Simple and effective, long and full of content. The game knows how to deal with the player and manages its difficulty in an excellent way. Recommended if you're looking for a new challenge, a platform that makes you think or an original puzzle game.

Although the Wii version has been much criticized for its graphics (which are identical to this one), this portable version is a good game within the RPG genre, above all thanks to the possibilities of its excellent multiplayer mode.

A surprising and admirable game, one of the best for Xbox Live Arcade this year. If you are looking for a frantic shoot'em up you should look at other games, but those willing to explore the space in a deep and engaging game will have a lot of fun.

Mirage is more of a tribute that a return to the classics, but the setting, the level design and the reasonable length are welcome changes to make Assassin’s Creed more enjoyable for the fans of the first games.

Sleeper hit Anomaly Agent delivers a humorous cyberpunk action platformer experience with polished art design, accessible combat mechanics, and enjoyable synthwave soundtrack, although it suffers from occasional repetitiveness, especially in boss battles.

Tom Clancy's Endwar is a very good strategy game, a experience that no genre fan should let escape, because the sensation of having under our command such a number of troops who obey our orders is just fantastic. Its biggest problem, though, is its shallowness in strategic options in comparison with what we are used to seeing on PC.

This is a low-effort adaptation, but the games are fantastic. We don’t love some of the ideas introduced in the second entry, but both titles have created a new subgenre, and having them available on Switch is great news.

The change of genre does fit to this series, even though there are still some thing that need polishing. Still, it's a great choice for fans of strategy games.

Quotation forthcoming.

It delivers an exceptional extraction shooter experience defined by Bungie’s signature gunplay and an addictive, roguelike progression loop. While the atmosphere is immersive and the endgame content is thrilling, the cumbersome interface and steep learning curve create unnecessary friction. It is a brilliant, high-stakes rebirth that demands patience despite its clunky menus.

This is a good remaster of two fantastic games that any platformer fan should not miss.

This survival game shines thanks to its setting, as well as delivering a fun adventure that is best enjoyed with friends.

If you like what Assassin’s Creed has become, then you’ll enjoy Valhalla. It’s fun, big and beautiful, but it’s also repetitive and predictable.

It isn't perfect, but it is a great surprise every fan of strategy/card games should try.

It is the same great game we enjoyed six years ago, but visually upgraded. Its gameplay hasn't aged, and its levels are still varied and thrilling. We only miss a retail edition including this game and Code Veronica HD, just like in Japan, as the digital download can be considered pricey by many players.

The Taiwanese studio PINX Games blends Slay the Spire and Into the Breach in a deep, accessible, and highly enjoyable strategy and deck-building game that allows for numerous different strategies within its hexagonal arena, despite its unattractive artistic design, especially in the interface.

Remnant is a game meant to be played with a friend, as this is when how its concept truly shines. There are some shortcomings, however, it’s a solid effort for a team like this.

It is the same great game we enjoyed six years ago, but visually upgraded. Its gameplay hasn't aged, and its levels are still varied and thrilling. We only miss a retail edition including this game and Code Veronica HD, just like in Japan, as the digital download can be considered pricey by many players.

Some people may thing it's just an adaptation, but there's much more behind it. It mixes up the racing gameplay with the creative essence of LittleBigPlanet, resulting in a good karting title with a great potential for content creation, and offering more than we expected.

Tales of Vesperia is a solid role-playing game, built upon the canonical bases of the japanese genre. The characters go through an epic story, with moments of drama and also some bits of humor. Its intense combat mantains the tradition of the series, and it also has a good technical part.

Perhaps it is difficult to explain and understand where the strengths of the Road 96 concept lie, but we can assure you that we are facing a very good game that makes the most of its curious narrative exercise, one in which the linearity of a cinematic story is combined with the procedural nature of a 'choose your own adventure', all this while it is played with making decisions that help to build a plot that we feel as our own, although perhaps not so much. At times the game's history seems too on track for that player's agency to matter, at least that's the feeling it gets, and between that and the fictional disambiguation, which makes it fall into multiple genre clichés that prevent it getting wet in the topics it deals with, subtracts points from a work that is otherwise the most interesting that has been published this year.

In Star Ocean: The Last Hope its gameplay excels, with intense and satisfying combat which give the game a good pace. But its story is really shallow, and lacks something in character and situations building, although it keeps the gamer interested enough to keep playing.

This is, without a doubt, the best version of this unforgettable adventure. A PSP game at its core, but with many new features that make it feel much more modern.

It's short. Very short. But it's also a great game that those looking for a retro-looking action game should definitely consider.

The first two episodes of The Long Dark's story mode are a great way to start off the official launch of the game. Great survival experience, tons of things to do and, hopefully, the best is yet to come.

Volume is a stealth/puzzle game that, even though it's not particularly innovative, is incredibly well-designed and balanced.

Project Mirai DX works pretty well as a spin-off, and we think it's a perfect fit if you enjoyed previous Hatsune Miku games, but at the same time you're looking for something slightly different.

A game that finds the balance between the new and the classic survival horror. If you like being scared with an infiltration-based gameplay, it's a great option, but if you like Alien as well, it is a game you cannot miss.

The Count Lucanor is a game in which its strengths are far more important than its weaknesses. Survival and puzzles get together in this adventure that has turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

A great example of what an expansion should be. A reasonable amount of content, a reasonable price and a great experience no matter if you played Second Son or not.

As a remaster it could’ve been better, but it still manages to keep all the fun intact. It’s one of the most unique hack & slash games ever made, and if you missed it on Wii U, you shouldn’t miss this second chance.

This is a great graphic adventure that works pretty well, but really shines because of its art direction.

This is a fun, ambitious adventure that lets players enjoy its beautiful world while practising extreme sports.

Storyteller is a unique experience, very original and fun, although the core idea ends up feeling a bit unexploited.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 offers its most polished PS5 experience, brilliantly leveraging DualSense for deep immersion via adaptive triggers and motion controls. It delivers clearer progression through diverse challenges, but inconsistent visuals and flat AI voices occasionally detract. Crucially, forthcoming PS VR2 support promises unparalleled virtual piloting.

Super Woden: Rally Edge masterfully revives classic arcade rally, delivering fantastic gameplay and satisfying progression that keeps me deeply engaged. Although some tracks feel uninspired or brief, and the music can become repetitive, its blend of retro charm and modern ideas, alongside solid local multiplayer, provides a highly recommendable and challenging experience.

The transition to cards has been successful for these warriors. A very engaging game with a well-balanced free-to-play system that it's worth a try.

Although it ends up feeling repetitive, we've really enjoyed playing and exploring the world of Wildlands with friends. If you're looking for a coop game that can give you an arcade or a strategic approach to 3rd person open-world action, make sure you give this a try.

A great fighting game that's better than ever. If you already own it, there aren't too many reasons for the upgrade, but if you don't, it's the best way to enjoy it.

This title is ideal if you’re looking for a puzzle game with tons of content that will make you think. It doesn’t do many new things, but its smart design and charm are more than enough.

This standalone expansion delivers a tighter, more action-focused campaign with new weapons, environmental executions, and a deeper look into RoboCop's character, while maintaining the series' satirical tone and fan-service appeal, though its weak enemy AI, technical issues, and uneven playable character sections slightly diminish the experience.

Lumines is back with its great and rhythmically addictive gameplay. It doesn’t offer any relevant new features, but it still is one of the best games in its genre.

Quotation forthcoming.

Syndicate fans have here a great tribute to the classic franchise, with its own personality and a solid experience we've enjoyed from the beginning to the end.

Lara Croft GO is as good on consoles and PC as it was on mobile devices. It's recommended for Tomb Raider fans or just those who enjoy puzzles.

A perfect example of how to make a remake. Treasure has achieved an update that faithfully respects the original game, but also adds enough improvements to become a really must-have game for the nostalgic gamers. Although its particular gameplay might turn off newcomer, they should give it a chance at least.

EDF delivers more fun, as strange as it gets. You know is going to be weak on the technical side, but it's really strong when it comes to entertain. If you're ok with its weaknesses, it's a game you should try.

Its surprising story and excellent visual design make it a very recommended game for puzzle lovers.

A great update for the classic, but not a must-have if you have the original one. If you don't, now it's the perfect choice to live this adventure.

Quotation forthcoming.

Fracked is one of those games meant to make you feel like an action movie hero in VR. It could have done with a bigger variety of situations, but it’s a great choice nonetheless.

Despite its flaws (some of then, like optimization, may be solvable) it still looks as a different game to us, sometimes absorbent, and an original experience everyone should have a look at.

Skate Story delivers an original concept and incredible audiovisual flair, offering genuinely unique moments when its skating mechanics shine. However, the experience is frequently marred by constant narrative interruptions and inconsistent level design that hinders fluid gameplay, preventing it from reaching its full potential as a truly essential title.

A great game, which is very approachable at first, but then spikes in difficulty. It has a special charm that veteran players will love and appreaciate. Its gameplay is robust, modern and full of references to previous entries, but also includes some classic elements.

Aspyr brings back the original adventures of Lara Croft with a respectful remastering that improves the graphics and controls, but also has some flaws and inconsistencies. The gameplay remains faithful to the essence of these classics, with a focus on exploration and puzzles that is rare to find nowadays, despite the outdated shooting mechanics and some quality of life issues in the menus.

Quotation forthcoming.

This new Mario & Sonic olympic game isn't going to surprise anyone for its new features, but the game has improved and offers improved gameplay for everyone. Although we miss an Olympic mode like in the previous game, the new London For Everyone is a great addition and provides hours of fun.

It offers almost a perfect balance between gameplay, difficulty and graphics. There are certain aspects that could have been improved, but still it's a very recommended game.

Cyber Sleuth is a great RPG, no matter if you like Digimon or not. It has some really interesting features, and if you ever liked the franchise, you'll be surprise at how well it holds up.

NBA 2K26 refines its gameplay with smoother animations, improved ball physics, and smarter AI while adding meaningful content like the return of a story-driven MyCareer, mixed-gender teams in MyTEAM, and better technical polish. Despite persistent microtransactions and long load times, it remains the most enjoyable and complete entry in years for both casual and hardcore basketball fans.

Although it doesn't have any intention to reinvent racing games, mastering all the aspects of the competitions takes some time and dedication, weeks of enjoyment steering this virtual racing cars. Recommended for beginners and for racing games fans waiting for a more purist game.

This is one of the best episodes of the series. Thanks to the possibility of using smartphones as controllers playing with friends is going to be easier than ever.

This is a great RPG that fans of the genre shouldn’t miss. The PS4 version doesn’t bring many new additions, but it still is a good choice.

Budget Cuts is a great VR game, that turns the shortcomings of the technology into game mechanics. A fun, little adventure that adapts well to the medium.

It's short and quite simple, but it's also very well designed, and holds great ideas and great puzzles. A game you shouldn't miss if you like this genre.

Ghostwire Tokyo is a great adventure that manages to deliver a unique experience and shows true love for Japanese folklore. Even though some aspects like the combat and the story can be improved, we have enjoyed every second we’ve spent playing it.

Toukiden 2 does what a sequel should do: keeps what works, improves what doesn't and adds new features. Overall, it's a really good game you can enjoy alone or with friends.

Shin’en Multimedia delivers a fast-paced arcade racer with an excellent sense of speed, fun mechanics, and impressive visual performance, although it lacks online multiplayer and suffers from limited track variety and strict collision detection.

FF XIII-2 is just one of those versions without relevant upgrades, but good enough if you missed it on the original platforms. Probably, the best episode of the Lightning trilogy.

It's pretty much the original game adapted to the PS4. This is great news if you haven't played it yet, but if you have, then you won't find anything particularly relevant to buy it again.

There's a lot of care put into detail here, with both fans of Star Wars and pinball games in mind. Highly recommended if you're a fan of the genre, and a must-have if you love the Pinball FX series.

This game may be considered a direct port of the popular game mode, however it is a very addictive experience, with an online mode that works very well.

Longer than usual, with some new mechanics and somehow slow. This episode feels different, but, Dontnod delivers yet another outstanding cliffhanger that makes the wait for the season finale a hardly bearable suffering.

Fantasy Strike wants to offer a fighting alternative for users who might not be into the main series or are just looking for an alternative. It has some shortcomings, but we thing it’s worth your time.

You can tell Konami has learned and knows how to pick up the elements which are really classic, restructure and focus them in a downloadable game, with classic style and direct action.

The fathers of Left 4 Dead are back with a true successor for the franchise that keeps the formula pretty much intact, but adds a layer of complexity to make it deeper.

Both as a game and as an adaptation, Dante's Inferno is a noteworthy game, in a genre which is not so crowded and well-attended in the PSP. It does well what it tries to do, without taking too much risk.

Alien: Isolation still is a fantastic horror game, and this version is just as good as it can get. It’s probably the best adaptation to Switch so far, and as good as any other to discover this adventure.

While the level design left us as cold as the snowy mountains that Aloy must explore, the combat surprised us a lot , forcing us to pay attention to all the chaotic action happening on screen and to take advantage of all our tools. Horizon fans who connect with LEGO humor will have a great time with Guerrilla and Studio Gobo's co-production; and those looking for an accessible action-adventure that can also be played co-op will be able to laugh at an adaptation that is not just for fans , and will probably end up enamored of the universe of Aloy and company.

Taking into account the amount of LEGO games out there, it's surprising that TT Games manages to create new adventures that still are fun and engaging. Unless you're tired of LEGO, it's a pretty good option.

This AA soulslike offers a beautiful yet brutal journey through a richly atmospheric Ming Dynasty China, with strong combat mechanics, varied builds, and striking Unreal Engine 5 visuals, although it's held back by occasional lack of polish, underwhelming side quests, and the absence of a map.

If you're fine with the free-to-play model and still not bored of having zombies everywhere, it's a great choice.

Creature in the Well is one of the most original games we’ve played in a while. If you like the idea of mixing dungeons, hack and slash and pinball, then make sure you give it a try.

It's probably the most complete, fun and entertaining train simulator on the App Store. Probably it's not your cup of tea if you're not into the genre, but if you are, it's a great experience.

The Eternal Cylinder is original, feels great and offers a setting like no other. It is hard to describe, and that, for us, is enough to recommend it.

Far Cry 6 is… exactly that. If you enjoy the formula of the series, this new entry will give many, many hours of fun, but don’t expect anything new or revolutionary.

WayForwards reimagines River City with a fantastic beat ‘em up, full of good ideas and visually stunning. One of those games you cannot miss if you like the genre.

This game improves many of the aspect of the previous one, although it takes a step back in other areas. The most serious problem is the seldom sensation of lack of challenge; quite often we won't feel any pressure to keep advancing.

Fury Unleashed knows how to deliver an engaging gameplay, thanks to its combo system fast-paced design. If you’re ok with a rogue lite approach, we think you’ll have a great time with it.

This is an interesting proposal of direct and simple fun while caring for a virtual kitten, and although it is mainly for children, anyone who tries it will have a good time for sure.

Magicka 2 is a great coop game, no matter who you play with. It's no longer as fresh as the original episode, but it's indeed better.

If you like old-school shooters, you can’t miss this one. It’s the true successor of Duke Nukem, and even with its flaws, it’s an absolute blast.
