    The more complex and complete approach to the card game ever made in consoles or PC. It is fun both for newcomers and seasoned players, and has enough content to keep us engaged for many hours.

    This is for now the ultimate version of the 90s classic. Those who played the original arcade would like to remember those moments, and maybe those who lost them want to discover this legend.

    Marvell Pinball is a recommended acquisition, almost a must for genre fans, and also a great chance for newcomers to try how has this genre evolved in the high definition era.

    This is probably the best game in the series. A fantastic collection of jump scares, but in a way that makes more sense that ever before.

    Cliffs of Dover promised to be a more special, different and complete installment than the previous ones. And to a certain extent it is, with a long duration and plenty of options. Those looking for a simulator will be pleased and satisfied.

    Charming, fun and full of colour, one of those titles you can play smiling and approachable by everyone. But to make the most of the game and achieve a perfect score in every trial, you will have to spend a lot of hours. For those newcomers that haven't tried a Rhythm game, it will be a pleasant surprise.

    This is a very interesting adventure where fishing and horror goes hand in hand to deliver a dark story that we really enjoyed uncovering.

    This beautiful adventure still works great on 3DS. Yes, there are some changes, and none of it would justify buying it again, but if you haven’t yet, it’s a good option to enjoy Kirby on the go.

    Levelhead is a fun platformer with great tools so you can unleash your imagination and create your own levels, or enjoy the community creations.

    It improves certain aspects of the original and it still is a good game, there's no doubt about it. Still, if you've played the original version buying it depends on personal and economical choices.

    Variety is the word that defines Nier the best. Variety of genres and game styles which compose an epic, fantastic and full of action adventure.

    Apart from being too similar to the game it's based on, The Escapists: TWD delivers a great experience that fans of the TV show will enjoy.

    Turbo Kid blends nostalgia with fresh mechanics in this outstanding metroidvania, offering a post-apocalyptic world filled with engaging challenges and memorable characters. Its synthwave soundtrack and diverse gameplay, including bike riding and intense combat, make it a standout experience. However, its old-school save system may frustrate some players, but overall, Turbo Kid delivers a compelling adventure that captures the essence of the cult film it's based on.

    Omega Force has managed to deliver a very interesting spin-off, where both fans of the musou genre and fans of the franchise it is based on will enjoy the adventure. Needless to say, it's a must-have if you're a fan of both.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    In general terms, Remember Me works, but it's extremely easy and the new ideas and mechanics don't offer a remarkable addition. We would love to have a sequel in which all these issues are polished and fixed because the universe Dontnod has created is full of possibilities.
    • 73 Metascore

    It's a very interesting expansion for Samurai Warriors 4, with not enough new features to be called Samurai Warriors 5, but enough content to satisfy its fans.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    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.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's one of the best tower defense for mobile devices, with a very straightforward and fun offer, that becomes an unmissable title for fans of the genre.

    Dead Block is a fun and fresh proposal, although a bit simple and not very lasting. Hilarious and very fun between friends, it is a good game to enjoy this Summer.

    Everhood masterfully mixes dark RPG with rhythm-based games to deliver an experiment that will constantly surprise us.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    This is one of those games you really need to try to find out how much fun you can have with it. No matter if you're a fan of the series or if you've never tried one, it's a game that has a lot to offer.

    Cities XL 2011 is an astoundingly complete game, which further enhances the quality of the previous game. It has almost infinite gameplay options, and although we miss a more human approach to our inhabitants, it has incredible management options for our city.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    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.

    Snake Pass is quite interesting title, fun and well designed. It has a strange control system, but that's part of its fun, and although it's not very long, it's priced accordingly.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    There are some aspects that we would have liked to see polished, but still, Cloudbuilt is a very original, challenging and addictive experience, that everyone who enjoyed classic platformers should, at least, try.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    This is a good successor of the original series, with charming character and the sense of humor we all know and love.

    Ironically, the best part of this Age of Empire II: HD Edition has little to do with the HD resolution, and way more to do with the Steam features. Steam Workshop and the online matchmaking are the true additions to this game that still is as good as we remember.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The game is fantastic, and there is a lot of content and ways to enjoy it, but the new physics and the online issues make it less enjoyable than we expected. However, it still is a fantastic kart game, and Crash fans will love it.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It feels like an adaptation of the original game, but it is still a solid, fun and engaging experience.
    • 62 Metascore

    It's better than most of the puzzle games on iOS, but we expected way more than this. Also, we miss a better looking presentation together with multiplayer modes.

    Splatterhouse will be liked by a very concrete type of player, who will be able to forgive its lack of variety in gameplay and have fun watching hundreds of litres of blood spread after every blow to the enemies.

    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.

    • 79 Critic Score
    Not very original, but it brings loads of fun to the Sniper Elite V2 concept. It's more action-driven than the main series, but if you're looking for a game meant to be played with friends, this is one of the most interesting choices.

    Motocross fans cannot miss this game, and those looking for two-wheel action should take it into account. A great simulator you can make as demanding as you want.

    After a few years, the PSP sequel finally arrives to the West, with good options to expand the original experience. Definitely a great option for those looking for a RPG-ish, different experience.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A great offer for those looking for a puzzle game. On the top of that, it fits really well on PSVita.

    Live a Live feels incredibly modern now, decades after its original launch, and this glow-up makes it more accessible than ever before.

    The Next Penelope is addictive and original, one of those games you just can't stop playing. An online mode would have made it even better, but it still is a great choice.

    Rocksteady delivers a fun and frantic third-person shooter with a great story that shines for its characters, but falls short between the action adventure and the looter shooter. It has a deep and satisfying gameplay once mastered, but a repetitive mission design, disappointing boss fights and a constant interruption typical of this kind of games.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Even though the visuals do not match the console version, the experience does, and Dead Nation continues to be a very addictive game that works pretty well on the handheld.
    • 65 Metascore

    If you like the chivalry theme, this one will keep you playing for a little while. Simple but deep, fun and addictive, Rival Knights deserves a try.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A noteworthy and beautiful game with no major changes or upgrades made to the original. It is a classic game and this port is very good news, but it may fall short in content taking its price into account.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    This is a pretty interesting 2D shooter, with a very solid gameplay and good ideas. It doesn't bring many additions to Switch, but its price is well adjusted and overall it's worth your time.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A game with anything remarkable, but without flaws. One of those Japanese roleplaying game that are very classic and follow the tradition, without evolving the gameplay, but with compelling graphics, a good story and a nice blend of elements that doesn't focus solely on combat. It won't make history, but is a fun game.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It might not be the best entry in the series, but it’s a great game for fans of the franchise or the genre.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A great adaptation from the console version, that maybe lacks some content. Sega has promised that will keep on updating the app and bringing new levels, so if they do, there's little to complain about.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A surprisingly interesting card-based game, worth giving a try if you like the genre and/or Uncharted, of course.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    This is a more than decent game. Maybe it won't surprise those who don't follow the series, because it doesn't change the formula dramatically, but those who have been The Sims fans for years will like the new ideas of this medieval iteration.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Good sequel for an already fun and espectacular game, that improves upon many aspects, but also can be a bit too ambitious introducing some elements that don’t really work too well.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Hell Yeah! is driven by the absurd. It is something many players will find as a fresh experience, and something some others will find random and stupid. The gameplay is not enough polished, but if you're willing to forgive this and willing to spend a long and crazy while in front of the TV, we beg you to give this a try.
    • tbd Metascore

    Another endless runner, but this time it goes on wheels. Visually stunning, it should be another option for those interested in this concept.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Those players who enjoyed games like Unreal Tournament will find a game with much of its essence, but with spaceships. We expect more content and game modes to expand the experience, but it is a good start.

    It's the same Dance Central, but conceived as a core (and cheaper) experience you can expand with the songs you like.

    • 79 Critic Score
    So if you want to give this police GTA a try, know that it's a good option. It's not without its flaws, but with a well-constructed, rather interesting and entertaining approach, and boasting admirable execution given everything it offers (which is certainly no small feat).
    • 80 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It does have some technical issues, but when it comes to gameplay is very solid and fun, and after all, that what matters.
    • 69 Metascore

    It may have been "better" with a button-based control scheme, but then it would not have been as unique as it is.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Definitely not a surprise and quite simple. Maybe it's not very original, but we'll find here a reasonable amount of fun and platforming for a reasonable price.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It has made progress in the social simulation, going from simple mechanics to a quite realist simulation, and it could be a pleasant surprise for players looking for a quiet game.

    This is one of the most original shooters on iOS. Looks good and feels better, and even if the free-to-play model puts you off, it deserves a try.
    • 74 Metascore

    No matter if you're playing it for the first time or if you just want to relive the original, this is a great update of a game definitely worth playing.

    Scarlet Nexus shines thanks to its combat and universe, but it feels like it should have been more ambitious, particularly with the depth of the combat and the level design.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score

    With improved accessibility, an optional arcade control mode, and new disciplines like Flat Track and Minibike adding gameplay variety, MotoGP 25 remains loyal to its simulation roots while becoming more beginner-friendly, though it still suffers from dated animations and lacks significant innovation.

    Klonoa Door to Phantomile is one of the best adaptations to the next generation we've ever seen. Unfortunately, it doesn't bring any big new features in comparison with the original.

    House of the Dead Overkill Extended Cut is a glorious game, full of thrilling and memorable moments, and a good port from the Wii original that integrates well PlayStation Move control. It also takes a leap in graphics, although some of its elements remind us this was a Wii game.

    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.

    RAGE 2 is a great shooter, but it is a step below other comebacks like Doom or Wolfenstein. Still, if you like shooters or open world games, you’ll have a good time with it.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's not an app that will reinvent the genre, but it offers good graphics, nice physics and well-designed levels. There's no revolution here, but it's interesting for both kids and adults.

    It delivers as a "false" classic game, and it does appear to be like a Castlevania of the nineties. This will please the series followers, although maybe other gamers won't understand the game within its desired epoch and may be turned off.

    State of Mind delivers a very interesting story that only gets better as you play. The gameplay is quite simplistic (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing) and it is quite pricey (particularly on consoles), but of you’re ok with that, you’ll enjoy this thriller.

    Remothered offers a taste of the classic survival horror, reminding us of games like Clock Tower and Haunting Ground, and it does it with great production values for an indie title. It's not perfect, but if you like being chased and relying on the stealthy approach, give it a try.

    Everhood 2 expands on its predecessor with a more dynamic combat system and a stunning audiovisual experience, despite a weaker story and anticlimactic ending.

    F1 2011 for the PSVITA is an enjoyable game, which should have been more polished and include more features for players who already own another version of the game, and make the most of the new features of the console. It might not be perfect, but it is the only simulator in the PSVITA launch and a recommended buy for those looking for a realistic racing game.
