    After a pretty tough starting phase, you'll find a great game with some pretty neat battles and tons of content. The best of all is that it is really free to play.

    Taking into account Wii U doesn't have a Minecraft version yet, this is a nice option, particularly if the developers fulfill their promises of updating the game.

    GoW III is an incredible adventure and this is the best way to play it. Still, if you have already played it, you won't find too many additions to the experience.

    Right now, Rise of the Incarnates needs something to break the monotony of its battles. It feels like maybe they released it too early, and hopefully time will make it better.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Codemasters has focused on the gameplay and the visuals and has left behind the some content available in the previous episodes of the series. If you're aware of it and ok with that, then you'll get a pretty good F1 game.

    Killer Instinct is one of the best fighting games available on new consoles. Unique and extremely fun, you shouldn't miss it if you have an Xbox One.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's just a new perspective for How to Survive. It does work, but depending on your previous experience with the game, it's up to you to decide whether it worth it or not.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    We've enjoyed the game as such, and it even kinda tastes like Sonic, but its monetization system becomes way too frustrating and annoying.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It lacks that something that really makes it unique, but we've enjoyed our time with SWC 3. There aren't too many games like this on handhelds, so it is indeed a great choice.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It might rely too much on its ending, but it does offer an engaging experience with a good story and some clever moments.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star Plus is a good RPG, a game we recommend to those who prefer charisma over visuals or freedom.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Adventures of Pip is a game that brings back the true 16-bit experience, and that's all we need. It's not particularly original, but it does deliver a gameplay some of us really miss.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Xeodrifter is engaging and fun, a solid adventure very enjoyable on 3DS that lacks something that makes it truly unique.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Unique, clever and original. Her Story is a game like no other, that delivers a smartly crafted gameplay and narrative, and that anyone who finds its concept interesting should play.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Even though it doesn't offer the same amount of improvements than previous episodes, it still is the best way of enjoying this game if you haven't played it already.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is basically more Final Fantasy XIV, and that's great news. We miss something really surprising or innovative, but still, this is a great experience that lives up to the expectation of Final Fantasy's 14th episode.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    This is one of the most original, interesting and smart visual novels ever made. With a story that catches you from the beginning to its end, Steins;Gate is already a classic.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    While the game still is good, the lack of new relevant features leaves its fans waiting for a big step in the right direction.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    One of the best episodes of the season so far. It delivers some closure, some cliffhanger and tons of fun.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It's a great game that will help us kill some time while we wait for Fallout 4. Nothing revolutionary, but definitely fun.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A great hack & slash, recommended to those who didn't play the original. Even if you did, there's indeed some new features and content, so it's up to you to decide whether this is relevant for you.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    A great game for one of the greatest gaming franchises based on superheroes. Batman: AK will surprise you from its beginning to its end in an adventure full of content and unforgettable moments.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's a great tribute to a good amount of anime and manga characters, but when it comes to gameplay some ideas are better than others. Still, as a game, it is really fun, and particularly enjoyable if you like the franchises it is based on.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is the sequel we've been waiting since Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. A beautiful game with an outstanding level design that made us remember why we love this genre.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even though it's far from perfect, we've enjoyed this title, and we really hope it's successful enough to see a more polished sequel.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The idea behind a PES manager is good, but the execution is poor and it's in-app-purchase-driven policy worsens the concept.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is not the best remastered game we've seen –some technical issues, not too much new content–, but it still is a really fun experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It is obviously a game aimed at a young audience, and, as such, it works. Other than than, it probably isn't worth your money.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Heroes of the Storm could be the next huge franchise of Blizzard. It delivers a solid gameplay and tons of fun, and since it's free-to-play, it's definitely worth trying.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    We've enjoyed the time we've spent with this 'complete edition' of Skulls of Shogun. It's fun, and ideal if you want to become initiated in strategy games.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kholat is based on actual events, and creates an interesting and enigmatic world to explore. It isn't perfect or particularly outstanding, but it does deliver an enjoyable adventure for those who love mysteries and exploring.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even though it feels like a mobile game, it's very clever and deep. 0rbitalis is definitely the game you want to play when you don't have time for more demanding games.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy is a very conservative RPG, so it might not be the best option for newcomers. Still, if you know what it has to deliver, it can be a good option.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's clearly conceived as a mobile title, but it still works. It could have offered more options or content, but if you want this kind of game on your Xbox One, it's the right choice.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is the best title ever done by Ark System Works, a 2D fighting game you cannot miss if you're a fan of the genre.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    It isn't perfect, but it's indeed a great closing episode for the trilogy. If you've enjoyed its previous episodes, you shouldn't miss the final one.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    If you had high expectations you might be disappointed, but if you know what this title has to offer (tons of puzzles), then it might be worth your time and money.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Mega Coin Squad would have worked incredibly well on arcade machines, but it still works on console. A great choice if you want a game to play with friends.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is a great adventure that excels in pretty much every aspect. You should not miss it if you're a fan of the genre, and if you like sci-fi stories, it deserves a try.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Lara Croft: Relic Run is not a revolution, but it manages to evolve the genre. It also works as a free-to-play, so if you like endless runners it deserves a try.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Does not Commute is a perfect fit for mobiles, one of those titles you don't want to miss if you like puzzles and skill-based games.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    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.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Hatred relies on being controversial, but as a game it's just an average action experience that will give you a few hours of moderate fun.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Street Fighter IV is one of the best fighting games ever made, and having all the content on PS4 is indeed a great deal. Still, it does need some heavy patching to fix some annoying bugs.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Dex
    Dex delivers an interesting story and a solid gameplay, but there are some bugs and aspects with some room for improvement that prevent it from becoming a better experience.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Splatoon is just straightforward fun. It's true it needs more content, but the core gameplay works extremely well and delivers the charming experience you expect from Nintendo.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is probably the slowest episode of the series, but we get the feeling that Telltale is getting everything ready to pull out the big guns in the final episodes.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although short, Magnetic: Cage Closed is a great Portal-inspired puzzle game that gets really interesting while it lasts.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    The good ol' Carmageddon is back, but it's a technical mess. Whenever it feels like working, it delivers the Carmageddon we all now and love, but you should rather wait and hope it's all fixed before buying it.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's one of those games you either love or hate, and we really enjoyed it. It's a more adult-focused experience, deep and different, but you should try it before buying it.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    As a strategy game is deep and fun, and we've had great moments playing it, but the lack of modes and online possibilities prevent it from becoming a game we want to go back at after beating it.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Obviously, we need to take the game as the piece of history it is. Probably not the game the average player is looking for these days, but if you understand what you're buying, it's definitely a great choice.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dontnod strikes backs with yet another great episode. Many blank spots of the plot are filled here, but also leaves room for new mysteries to unfold.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    We enjoyed the idea at its core, but a poor execution leaves the player confused. Still, as long as you're aware of its issues, we think it's an adventure you might like.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Inside my Radio is a great platformer that deserves more attention. It's not perfect, but it's very addictive and when you beat it you just want more.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It works as a simple, casual game, but we feel it's a missed opportunity to make something unique and more enjoyable.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Invisible, Inc. is a great game, and a better choice if you enjoy slow-paced experiences. It's addictive and literally endless, so if you like the concept, it's a must-have.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    We need to take this game as a spin-off with a mobile nature. If you don't expect a full-size Halo, it's worth your time.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Nero is an interesting adventure, but it has very important technical issues that make it feel worse than it is at its core.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Everything in Axiom Verge works well, but fans of metroidvania games are probably familiar with better examples of the genre. Still, Axiom Verge does not disappoint and delivers an experience worth playing.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We've enjoyed this adventure, even with its technical issues. If you need your dose of parkour, this one delivers.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Lost Orbit is full of great ideas, and if you know nothing about it, we're sure it's going to be a great surprise.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    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.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    There’s little reason to purchase it again if you’ve already played it on PS3 or PS Vita, but if you haven’t, it is obviously the best way to enjoy this magic adventure.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    The amount of content we find in The Witcher 3 is outstanding, as is its quality. It is true that there are some aspects with some room for improvement, but it delivers such a rich and unique universe that you will soon forget about them.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Krinkle Krusher works as a real-time strategy concept, but it feels like a mobile game turned into a console game. It isn't a bad option, but there's plenty of better games out there.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Code Name: S.T.E.A.M is yet another great game for the 3DS, accessible and challenging at the same time. We haven't been able to stop playing until we finished, and if you like the genre, we think you'll feel the same.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Marvel Future Fight is a nice surprise. Taking into account it's a free-to-play, mobile game, it's well designed and enjoyable without spending any money.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    We've enjoyed this spin-off more than some of its main episodes. It's action-based, so those looking for an RPG will be disappointed, but we think it deserves a try.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    There's a complete lack of gameplay or even purpose in this game. It feels like an attempt of make money with something barely playable that "shouldn't be taken seriously".
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you’re looking for a free MMORPG on Xbox One it deserves a try, but the adaptation from the PC version is very limited.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    The idea of bringing back the shoot ‘em up genre was ok, but it’s extremely repetitive and boring.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is what an expansion should be like. A great game, with solid gameplay and interesting additions. If you enjoyed The New Order, you shouldn’t miss this one.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Chroma Squad relies on a very interesting concept, delivered through a solid execution and tons of content. If you like management and RPGs, this may be a nice surprise for you.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It’s a nice addition to the 3DS library, a game for a wide audience that might help some people to discover Puzzle Dragons and some others to discover Super Mario.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Yet another game with great ideas and a not-so-great execution. If you’re looking for a stealth-based horror experience it’s an option, but definitely not the best one out there.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    An outstanding simulator, incredibly deep but also incredibly accessible. If you like racing, it’s an extremely satisfying experience.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The idea is good, but because of its lack of content and its repetitive nature, the novelty wears off quite soon.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It doesn't evolve too much from the previous episode of the series, but it's engaging, and if you like the franchise it is based on, it can be fun.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The concept has lost the original feeling that the previous episode had, but still is an interesting platformer with a twist that deserves a try.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It doesn't offer anything particularly relevant if you've already played it on 3DS, but its classic concept delivers an interesting game that might surprise some players and that works quite well on PS Vita.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    It does have some good ideas, but an execution with some room for improvement and the lack of charisma leaves us with an irregular experience.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Convoy is a great experience, very well designed and deep. The best part of it is that it doesn't hide behind retro graphics aiming for a retro feeling; it does feel like a true classic game.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    We've enjoyed the journey, but not so much the destination. The final sequences seem a little rushed, but even with some issues, it's worth checking out.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    If you like 8-bit-like games, you cannot miss this one. An outstanding action-platformer that lands on console with a brilliant version and tons of content.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    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.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Broken Age is an adventure that will take you back to the golden age of the genre, an experience you cannot miss if you ever enjoyed this kind of games. After such a long development and so many backers we expected even more, but still the least you can do is checking it out.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is obviously based on the well-known Bomberman gameplay, but it was fun back on the MSX, and it still is. It isn't particularly original, but it works.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It not only is a great game, but also original, addictive and comes with tons of content. If you like dungeon crawlers and you're looking for something different, Crypt of the NecroDancer is a safe bet that adds an unique musical touch to the formula.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Blue Estate is a great on-rail shooter, but you'll need the right peripherals to enjoy it properly.

    • 45 Critic Score
    Infinity Runner tries to adapt a mobile concept to new platforms, but it just doesn't work as it should. It's just a different take on a mobile game, but if you're ok with that, then it'll satisfy you.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    State of Decay is one of the best survival games we've played lately, and if you haven't played it yet, you definitely should. Still, even though the tweaks and the new content is appreciated, we think this version should have pushed further the Xbox One possibilities.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Even though it's not perfect, Albedo is an interesting, fresh and original experience. If you're looking for a puzzle-based adventure, this one should be, at least, considered as an option.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It doesn't offer anything particularly surprising, but delivers a side-scrolling stealth-based adventure worth checking out for fans of the franchise.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Running with Rifles is a nice surprise, a game that finds the right balance for its gameplay and delivers a reasonable challenge that encourages you to improve.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    MonsterBag is a charming experience that doesn't last long, but we think everyone should at least give it a try, particularly if they get it with the PS Plus subscription.

    • 96 Critic Score
    GTA V is one of the best PC versions we've seen in a long while. The new features might not be enough to replay the game, but if you haven't played it yet, you'll find this to be a great game that's better than ever.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    It has some aspects we'd like to see improved (the netcode, extra modes...), but apart from this, it's the best episode of the franchise. Fun and brutal, as it should be.
