    Extras aside (which are fantastic), it’s a compilation that feels a bit lazy, but, at least, we can finally play some of the best games ever made on any current platform.

    Neo Cab is a very interesting game from a narrative point of view. If you don’t care that much about gameplay and you’re looking for an engaging story set in a dystopian sci-fi world, give it a try.

    Rocksteady has done a good job making us feel like Batman. As an experience it is quite good, but it's really pricey for the content it offers.

    It is a good adventure game, that is undeniable, that honorably continues such a charming movie series, but we think and know that Telltale can do better, and we are looking forward to the next episodes.

    The additions might look quite irrelevant, but before letting it go, think twice. This game is still as fun as it was on PS3, and the Broadcast+ feature, allowing our streaming watchers to modify our games, is an amazing option you must try.

    It is difficult to evaluate Costume Quest, as it is to put it into a concrete genre. It is a simple, very short and almost no replayable game, but also one of those whose charm, variety ans style make you stick to the console for hours.

    • 75 Critic Score
    We expected a leap in quality in this second episode, but it is almost the same than the first game: short and easy, yet a good game. Anyway, we expect Telltale to improve the game in the third episode.

    If you like RPGs and you haven't tried the original, you can give this a try. There's no deep story, but there is a game mechanic that's addictive and fits pretty well on a handheld.

    The Battle of the Pacific, the war between the American and the Japanese, have spawned a videogame full of action and strategy where everything is well balanced, observing the original gameplay and improving the weak points of the first game.

    Although too linear and unrelated with the previous Red Faction: Guerrilla Games, it is a fun, intense and frantic game which is sometimes espectacular, with a great physics engine that allows dynamical destruction of the environments, although the game not always makes the most of it.

    As a golf experience and gameplay-wise, Everybody’s Golf VR is just fantastic. The lack of content and the lack of multiplayer modes and options not so much. However, we think it’s a great addition to any PSVR owner’s library.

    It is a good game, but not the great return we expected. The multiplayer is good but lacks something more to compete with the greatest ones. The single player lacks much more.

    Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen deliver a memorable, sprawling adventure with a sense of wonder modern entries often lack. However, this re-release feels like a missed opportunity; it arrives barebones, omitting online multiplayer, crucial visual filters, and inclusion in Nintendo Switch Online, thus tarnishing an otherwise legendary experience.

    • 83 Critic Score
    If you enjoyed the first game you will have fun with this second installment. It doesn't add many changes, except for some new additions that improve its gameplay, and it is also a longer game with more content. A unique mix of roleplaying and football that can become really addictive.

    Some flaws in its gameplay conception make the game frustrating sometimes, and although it offers about fiften hours in its main adventure and some secrets to discover, it doesn't add up much more extras to foster replayability.

    Tetris Party Live stands out for something we missed: Tetris in the console's memory, always available. It has lees game modes than in the retail version, and it unjustifiably restricts local multiplayer, but it offers enough single and multiplayer action to be very worth its price, only 500 points.

    Tital Souls is a game that asks for perfection. It's a great challenge, a game where you need to try again and again, even though it lacks the immediacy of other skill-demanding titles.

    A great Tetris version which includes new game modes that are surprising and very engaging. However, its online system has room for improvement, and there are plenty of Tetris versions in other platforms that, although not that impressive visually, are equally addictive thanks to its gameplay.

    Alien: Rogue Incursion brings the tension and immersion of the Alien universe to VR, with incredible atmosphere and clever use of technology. However, repetitive combat and limited variety reduce the thrill over time, leaving potential for improvement in the anticipated second part.

    Ubisoft’s latest entry refines rather than reinvents the series, offering a vibrant audiovisual experience, fun cooperative and fitness modes, and smooth integration with Just Dance+, but its inconsistent motion detection and the paywalled best songs keep it from fully shining.

    This is an excellent tactic RPG game, of epic and tragic character and with a noteworthy technical skill which will please every genre fan. It is a shame that, considering the complexity of the game, it hasn't been translated to Spanish.

    The Thaumaturge excels in narrative depth, character development, and atmosphere, offering a captivating experience despite its gameplay limitations. While its investigative mechanics feel lacking and combat could be more diverse, its compelling story, well-crafted characters, and impactful decision-making make it a standout adventure with a unique setting.

    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.

    For us, Spanish players, this game is only digital, only in English and a little bit pricey, so many of us might decide to ignore it, but if you give it an opportunity you'll find a great RPG.

    It is not a perfect game and we don't think it will become a classic, but if you enjoy this sort of games, Frobisher Says! will offer you plenty of hours of fun while you are discovering what PSVITA is capable of. A game worth a chance.

    Pharaon is a good game and fans of the franchise will love it, but at this point the series are starting to feel a bit too repetitive, and we would like to see a bigger evolution in the upcoming entries.
    • 74 Metascore

    This is a great idea, with some brilliant puzzles and some not-so-brilliant ones. Still, taking into account its affordable price, we think it deserves a try.

    Superliminal has a fantastic concept, but its puzzles are quite irregular. Some of them are excellent, while some others are not very inspired. If you like this type of first person puzzle-based adventure, though, you should give it a try.

    Song of Horror is a game with great ideas, but not all of them are well executed. It is, however, a survival horror with a great classic vibe, so if you are a long-time fan of the genre, it can be a good option.

    This is a must-buy for series followers, but for no one else. It's a really short game, although faithful to Dead Rising 2, but we miss any new feature to justify shipping it separately, and also more options in the cooperative mode, its main new feature.

    • 85 Critic Score
    This stunningly beautiful puzzle game stands out for its artistic design, immersive atmosphere, and simple but enjoyable mechanics, though its low difficulty might not challenge experienced players. Its brevity limits its potential to fully develop new ideas but, since it will receive new content, maybe we’ll see that evolution there.

    Forget about fast-paced shooters and frenetic action. This one relies on a team-based mechanic, where every move should be planned. There's room for improvement when it comes to the visuals and the bullet-detection system, but still it is a very recommended choice.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The new additions won't show up after a few hours, and they are not groundbreaking, but it has, indeed, evolved in the right direction. Another great game that should be a priority for fans of the genre.

    This edition delivers all expansions, campaigns, and community-driven mods with updated 4K visuals, lighting, camera improvements, and 64-bit support, keeping the essence of one of the most important RTS ever while enhancing accessibility, although the dated interface and non-revolutionary changes show its age.

    If the studio behind this game could have pushed the idea further, it might have become a must-have. Still, it's a very solid game, particularly played with a friend, and a good choice if you're looking for a Metal Slug-like experience.

    Yakuza 3 Kiwami & Dark Ties delivers essential gameplay updates for Kiryu's classic adventure, ensuring an entertaining experience. Although the Dark Ties expansion is a welcome addition to Mine's story, it proves brief and includes some padded content.

    Although its business model doesn’t seem to be appealing for everyone, Trackmania is a fun racing game that now everyone can try thanks to the free version.

    Tom Clancy's Hawx is a very welcome game because of the current shortage of this kind of title (none on PS3) and the good ideas it brings, which are implemented well, in a natural way, and in a few hours it would seem as if those "virtual ways" would have been part of the genre's gameplay since its birth.

    That said, this is an ARPG that is easy to recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable pastime—one featuring a ton of content, a wide variety of activities, and polished visuals (with the sole exception of pop-in, which is highly visible while driving and detracts somewhat from the graphics). *Neverness to Everness* possesses a certain charm and is bound to surprise more than a few players who give it a try; if Hotta continues to steadily expand the map and fully taps into the game's potential, it could well become the premier alternative to the established free-to-play RPGs currently on the market.

    Crisol: Theater of Idols delivers an essential survival horror experience, masterfully blending BioShock's introspection with Resident Evil 4's tension in a uniquely dark Spanish setting.

Nevertheless, its artistic vision and engaging gameplay make it a must-play.
