    Bungie makes Destiny better than ever, building on the solid foundations it already had. If you missed it the first time, it's a great moment to find out what it has to offer. If you already played it, it will tweak the experience to make you want to go back at it.

    Even though there's still is room for improvement, we think it's one of the best PES we've played in a long time. If you enjoyed those PES on PS2, you'll probably feel some of its magic is back.

    If you like graphic adventures, you should play this one. We loved it on PC, and we love it now on consoles.

    Cross of the Dutchman is pretty simple but we found fun in its simplicity. Still, it ends when it starts getting interesting, so we hope a hypothetical sequel could make things better.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Master Spy is challenging, beautiful and fun. We think it would've worked better on a handheld, but it's a good game nevertheless.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As a puzzle game it's pretty average, but how it deals with surrealism and the experience we get from it it's definitely unique. A hypothetical sequel could be really good.

    It's hard, slow and strategic, but if you like this, then you'll find what we think it is the best dungeon crawler for the 3DS.

    If you like puzzles, Circa Infinity is a game you don't want to miss. Original, well designed and challenging, it's an experience that will definitely test you.

    Castle Crashers gets the "perfect" remaster. All DLC included, technically improved where possible and it's free if you bought the original. Needless to say, the game is great, and it's one of the funniest beat 'em up we've ever played with friends.

    Behind some good ideas there's a game that doesn't get to shine. Still, fans of the Star Wars franchise will enjoy the experience.

    Skyshine's BEDLAM works as a roguelike, but its simplistic combat system prevents it from becoming something bigger and deeper.

    Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces is not a revolutionary expansion, but still a great amount of content for a fair price that will satisfy both casual and hardcore players of the franchise.
    • 79 Metascore

    Stasis delivers a great setting, a great old-school point & click feeling and a very rewarding experience. It might be a little bit short, but still we would recommend it.

    It's aimed at skilled players, but it's a great experience if you play enough to get used to its mechanics.

    Rampage Knights is a very interesting old-school beat 'em up. It doesn't offer anything particularly original, but it's fun and addictive.
    • 74 Metascore

    The Swindle is irregular. It feels mediocre, but if you spend enough time with it it becomes pretty addictive. If you have the time and the patience, it'll know how to make you feel rewarded.

    This is one of the best indie games we've played this years. Unless you don't like coop experiences, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a game you should play.

    Zombie Vikings is fun when played with friends, but it's unfinished. Maybe a few extra weeks or month could've changed our opinion, but now is in serious need of updating and patching.

    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.

    Onikira has a solid foundation for its combat system, but the rest of the gameplay design feels a little bit dull, and we think developers could have found a way to help the concept reach its full potential.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Lumini is a good idea not so well executed. It's short and feels repetitive, so we hope we can see a sequel with its concept fully developed.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Corpse of Discovery has some interesting ideas, but the story feels a little bit undeveloped, and the lack of innovation and its technical issues prevent it from becoming something better.
    • 82 Metascore

    Runbow is a great surprise. Addictive and extremely fun, it'll become one of the best choices to play when friends come over.

    The new franchises and the new additions we find in Disney Infinity 3.0 make this new episode better than ever, and those who enjoyed the previous ones will love it.

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

    Turn 10 has done a great job with Forza Motorsport 6, fixing many of the issues its predecessor had. Still, we think it should try to be more ambitious so it really feels like a next generation game. One way or another, is one of the best racing simulators we’ve ever played.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    We need more games like Tearaway. It's sole purpose is making the player smile all the way through the adventure of the messenger and the You, relying on a beautiful universe, great level design and light-hearted fun.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Lara Croft GO is a very interesting take on the Tomb Raider concept. Its puzzle and adventure mix works really well on mobile, no matter if you've played any Tomb Raider game before.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Broken Sword 5 feels like a classic adventure game, and that's something we rarely see on consoles these days. If you like this genre, it deserves a try.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    When it comes to gameplay, Mad Max feels pretty average, but when you're playing it's very, very fun. If you like the movies, you'll love driving and fighting around the beautiful landscapes Avalanche has created.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It has a solid concept, but it does need some improvements here and there. We had fun playing it, though, and we're already looking forward to playing a sequel with some fixes and tweaks.

    Super Mario Maker is a great tool to make both traditional and crazy Mario levels. It not only is a really interesting game, but also a great example of what Wii U and its GamePad can do.

    Even though it's not unforgettable, Amnesia: Memories delivers an interesting story, and will satisfy those looking for a new visual novel.

    Senran Kagura 2 is better than its predecessor in some aspects, but worse in others. In the end, we didn't enjoy this adventure as much as the original one, but if you enjoyed Senran Kagura Burst, we're sure you'll like this one too.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dishonored still is an outstanding adventure, but this edition doesn't make the most of the new hardware. If you missed it, it's an interesting option; if you didn't, there's little reason to play this version.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    If you enjoyed the NeoGeo classic WindJammers back in the day, DiscStorm delivers kind of the same experience. If you still play with friends in the same room, can be a pretty interesting option.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As a game it simply works, but as an enhanced edition, it fails to fix many of the issues the original game had. There are better options on PS4, and Risen 3 has missed its opportunity to get closer to them.
    • 88 Metascore

    Great controls, great feelings and tons of nostalgia make Horizon Chase one of the best racing games on iOS devices.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As an adaptation, Final Fantasy VII on iOS has room for improvement and it isn't particularly expensive. Still, the game as such is a masterpiece, and if you're ok with the flaws of this version, there's no doubt you will enjoy the experience.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Evoland 2 is far from perfect, but it is a great experience that we've enjoyed all the way through. It's quite basic when it comes to gameplay mechanic, but its charisma makes up for it.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Some people might find it hard to understand that this is actually a good game, as long as you know what you're buying. If you do, Onechanbara Z2 won't disappoint you.

    This is the best One Piece game to date. If you like action games and One Piece, it's a must-have.
    • 55 Metascore

    If you've ever enjoyed challenging games back in the day, Gryphon Knight Epic is a pretty interesting take on those. It's one of those games that could surprise you.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The change is definitely good, but it doesn't reach the excellence of the main titles of the series. Still, it's a great choice while we wait for Danganronpa 3.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It is a good game, and definitely a step forward for the franchise, but at the same time the ambition of this episode has taken its toll on the experience, and leaves it feeling somehow unfinished.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's little to tell about this collection, since it is simply that, a collection. It does have some great games, but there aren't any remarkable additions to the original experience.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The best thing we can say about its campaign is that it works as a tutorial. The multiplayer mode is the key of this title, but you need to understand how it really works to make the most of it.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    MGS V: TPP is one of the best games we've ever played. No matter how high you're expectations are, it will go way beyond them. This is Kojima's masterpiece, and the worst thing about it is that it might be the last MGS with Kojima.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Until Dawn is a very interesting take on the Heavy Rain concept, mixed with the slasher/horror genre, and a few tributes to the survival horror games. If you enjoy Quantic Dream games and horror movies/games, you shouldn't miss it.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is closer to a remake than a remaster. The adventure still is great, the gameplay doesn't get old, and this version also adds tons of new contents. If you haven't played the game yet, you have to; if you have, there are new reasons to play it again.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Pac-Man 256 is a beautiful tribute, an addictive game and honest as a free-to-play. If you ever enjoyed the original Pac-Man, or even if you didn't (is that even possible?), Pac-Man 256 is a game you should try.

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

    Smite is the best MOBA we've played on console so far, with a great presentation, solid gameplay and a very well balanced free-to-play model.
    • 73 Metascore

    LBX is a good RPG, with tons of contents and very enjoyable. We've found its combat system quite limited but, apart from this, it does deserve a try.

    • 65 Critic Score
    RE Revelations 2 on PS Vita is the same game we played on consoles, but heavily downgraded visually. This might be fine, but its framerate issues make it only recommendable if you can't play on any other platform or really need to play it on the go.

    Baseball fans don't have too many options available, and on Xbox One Super Mega Baseball is probably the best one so far, as long as they're happy with some Mii-like aesthetics.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Although it's far from an unforgettable game, it works great to kill some time every now and then. It's a mobile concept, but it fits on PS Vita too.

    If you're up for a challenge, Galak-Z delivers a great experience. Even though it's not perfect, if you're interested in its shoot 'em up, roguelike concept, it's a good choice.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It may feel somehow repetitive, but it's a pretty interesting take on the tower defense genre, and it does take us back to a time where you could just simply enjoy a game without worrying too much.
    • 79 Metascore

    This episode has pretty much everything you could ask for. Telltale is still pulling out great stories and some memorable moments, and all signs point to a great season finale.

    Zombi is still a pretty good survival horror game, but Ubisoft hasn't worked too hard on this version. If you cannot play it on Wii U, and you like horror games, it's a game you should try.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    If you have already played the game, you won't find anything new here. If you haven't, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is one of those special titles everyone should, at least, try.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    As usual, this is the best choice if you haven't played the game yet. It still has some flaws, but the amount of content SAO delivers is incredibly large that if you like the concept it will be definitely worth your money.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dream is one of those games where you're supposed to enjoy the universe the team has created. If you're looking for this kind of "experience", it might be the right choice.

    WoT is virtually identical to its counterparts on PC and Xbox 360, with visuals adapted to the possibilities of the console. It needs time to make the most of it, but being free-to-play, it is always worth a try.

    • 62 Critic Score
    Lack of gameplay aside, the latest from The Chinese Room failed to make an impact on us. The game is beautiful and the story promising, but at the end of the day we didn't find anything special about it.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's short and it has some technical issues, but we've enjoyed it and we think that it even has some moments to remember. If you understand its flaws, it might surprise you.

    FNAF takes a step back, and relies on sound to scare you. It still works, but now your biggest fear would be going deaf because of its loud scare jumps.

    The same old beat 'em up still stands strong. A game you should have already played is now available with tons of new options, so if you haven't played it yet, consider choosing this version.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It does evolve the original formula, and it does deliver content enough to keep us playing for some time. The catch is that now it relies on a free-to-play model some players will find questionable.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This episodic game continues to evolve, proving that the developers are listening and they are on the right track. If you've played the previous episodes, you won't be disappointed by this one. Actually, you'll be waiting for the next one to come.

    Rare Replay is a collection that will definitely remind you why this studio is so beloved these days. Great games (even though we still miss a few), great price and tons of extras that a Rare fan shouldn't miss.

    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.
    • 76 Metascore

    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.

    You can tell there's more love than budget behind this game, but it still works. If you're looking for an RPG where you'll do more than clicking your way through battles, it might be a good option.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even though the mark might not be very high, we've enjoyed this game. It's great for a handheld, and if you like the concept it is based on, it does deserve a try.

    As a remaster, it is pretty good, but the game underneath still has its flaws, and some aspects (like the camera) are now worse than those in the original.

    Odallus is a game that wants to bring back the feeling of the first Castlevania but that's it. There's no innovation here, just the good ol' gameplay and MSX visuals. If that's what you want, it won't disappoint.
