    We have here one of the best designed titles of the Xbox 360 digital marketplace, with a good production and an originality which is clear from the first minutes of play. Although the game is far from being an indispensable title, it will entertain platform lovers, and also those wanting to try something new and fresh.

    Another noteworthy title in Xbox Live Arcade, which will please two-dimensional games lovers, although it has very strong competition in the platform's portfolio.

    Patapon is a great series, the second entry is probably the most enjoyable, and having it back is always good. That said, this remasters doesn’t add much to the experience, but the game still is a blast.

    Gravity Ghost is a nice surprise. It isn't violent, has a good story and is original, something you rarely find these days.

    This is yet another good installment of the series after it found the right way years ago. It has not many new features and seems to be focused in improving some things, but it lacks some freshness, despite the new WWE Universe mode.

    Mikami is back, with a game that reminds of Resident Evil 4, with a touch of Silent Hill and The Last of Us. It's long, hard, fun and challenging, a game you cannot miss if you enjoyed RE4.

    RIVE is a great 2D shoot 'em up, which is challenging and fun. It's a little bit short, but intense nonetheless.

    This RPG offers a dark, mature world inspired by Arthurian legends and classic Bethesda-style RPGs, delivering deep progression and rich narrative choices, though its combat feels outdated and technical flaws like AI and animations reduce its polish; overall, it stands out for its unique atmosphere and scope despite some rough edges.

    If you have the original, you should think twice about getting this one. However, if you don't it's a great and a very complete fighting game.

    This is a perfect example of how to remaster a classic: by adding many technical improvements without forgetting what made the original so special.

    Victor Vran is a good game, most enjoyable with friends. We've had a good time with it, but it needs some unique moments to make it a truly memorable experience.

    Although there's nothing really new here, we've had a lot of fun playing this game, and that's what matters. If you still want more zombies, this is a great choice and a next-gen experience.

    The game has been developed with a Nordic culture in mind, but no matter where you live, you'll find here several minigames and challenges that we've enjoyed playing with friends and family.

    Rebellion delivers a polished but conservative entry that feels more like an expansion than a full sequel, keeping its enjoyable mix of stealth, action, and exploration intact. While the core gameplay remains satisfying with large maps and flexible approaches to missions, the lack of innovation and graphical improvements makes it feel like Sniper Elite 5.5 rather than a true step forward.

    Concrete Genie is a game made with love and passion, and it shows. Gameplay-wise it falls a little bit short, but it’s a touching adventure we do recommend.

    Roll7 delivers yet another unique experience, also addictive and fun. If you're looking for a shooting-based game like you've never seen before, Not a Hero is the right choice.

    Lego Rock Band is a good musical game, which perhaps will fall short for players who enjoyed Rock Band 2 or The Beatles: Rock Band.

    This is a game for Star Trek fans who want to play a multiplayer VR game. If you're one of them, you're going to love this. If you're not, you're going to find an enjoyable title that can get a little bit repetitive.

    The original one was good, and this sequel takes everything from it and improves upon it. If you like AoT, you can't miss it.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Overall, it’s a good game. Titles like Persona 5 and Trails of Cold Steel are much better, but if you’ve played them and you’re looking for something similar, it’s a good option.

    DiRT Showdown offers an arcade experience that follows the path taken with Dirt 2 and Dirt 3, leaving the simulation part of the series. Those looking for something that resembles the original gameplay of the Colin McRae series should keep searching, but if you are looking for fun arcade races this is your game.

    Chernobylite is a great survival game with a solid sci-fi story that is definitely above what we’re used to find in similar games, although it also falls shorts in some aspects by trying to do more than it should.

    Following the steps of the PS2 titles, Sly returns to bring another adventure that fans of the series will appreciate. Recommended for those who are tired of big dramas, covering systems and plans of world domination.

    • 77 Critic Score
    This version enhances Ultimate Showdown’s visuals and adds rollback netcode, but its implementation is inconsistent, and the lack of cross-play with PS4 limits the online experience. While the core gameplay remains excellent, the absence of single-player content and the high price of DLC make it feel like a missed opportunity rather than a definitive edition.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A beautifully crafted game that brings us to a magic world that doesn't take itself too seriously. With splendid artistic design, it lacks in gameplay, which is too classic in the hack 'n' slash genre and becomes repetitive quickly.

    Catapult King is what it aspires to be: an entertaining and enjoyable game, with an interesting progression and good difficulty curve. It takes the concept brough by Angry Birds and gives it a new perspective and 3D graphics. A fresh alternative with a medieval setting, but not a revolutionary game.

    A great graphic adventure which follows the classic Pendulo formula. Point-and-click interface, interesting puzzles and charming characters in a game what turns out to be a bit short.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Very simple but yet very deep, this is a great puzzle game that has more to offer than it looks. Very recommended, especially if you can play it for free with PS Plus.

    A very interesting title, whose content could have been improved. We may feel it's quite repetitive, so we recommend taking our time to go through it, having even a little break between episodes.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A great graphical adventure with an interesting story that will make you enjoy as a child while discovering the misteries of this tale. Also, it has a delighting visual design, although technically a bit poor, with mediocre animations. It is a bit easy, but the story is great and is a very recommended title for adventure lovers.

    • 75 Metascore

    We've enjoyed being evil in Dungeons 3, thanks to its design, personality and sense of humor. It would've been nice to see a better multiplayer implementation, but if you like the series, give this episode a try.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Although the idea is good and there is a lot of content and options, the core of a fighting game isn’t here. The combat is very simple and chaotic, the roster isn’t balanced and the AI is extremely poor. Without online functionality, we can only recommend it to play with friends.

    Don’t Nod ventures into the visual novel territory where decisions really matter, and that can be a good alternative if you’re looking for something closer to Western sensibilities.

    Despite an addictive concept that emphasizes teamwork, dynamic roles, and fun arcade-style football, Rematch suffers from technical issues, limited gameplay variety, and a lack of offline content, making it feel more like a promising early version than a fully polished game.

    This remaster shines thanks to its many gameplay improvements, visual enhancements, quality-of-life updates, and full Spanish localization, although its simplistic investigation mechanics and occasional repetition in demon interactions reveal its dated roots; still, it's a charming, accessible introduction to a lighter side of the Shin Megami Tensei universe.

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes successfully pays homage to classic JRPGs with its deep storytelling and engaging combat, reminiscent of Suikoden.

    A fresh and chaotic take on the tactical shooter genre, FragPunk mixes bomb-planting gameplay with hero-based mechanics and an unpredictable card system that changes the rules every round. While its wild variety keeps matches entertaining, it lacks balance, and its additional modes feel unnecessary. The visual style is distinctive, but the monetization and interface design can feel overwhelming.
