    A great game that might pass unnoticed by most gamers. It attempts to adapt to everyone, offering tons of customization options for the controls, and has an excellent gameplay and a very complete multiplayer game.

    A fantastic work of renovation of two games that have almost 20 years behind them to turn them into an adventure that could have been released in 2024: the three-dimensional reconstruction of the scenarios, the detail of the environments, the new design of the characters and the re-recording sound transform it into a current game.

    In spite of some flaws, it is undoubtedly an excellent approach to the first-person genre in a portable console.

    So far, there's a solid foundation, but in terms of content is extremely empty compared to any other actual fighting game. Only time will tell if Microsoft keeps bringing enough support and content to this promising return.

    It would be a tough buy decision for a series veteran, but is a more than recommended acquisition for those who want to jump into the music genre.

    This is a magnificent game. It is a priceless revision, almost erudite, of the Disney world, and as a platform-adventure game is one of the best in the last years.

    Yesterday Origins isn't very original, but it's a great adventure that fans of the genre don't want to miss.

    Classic Sonic is back and, whilst it does many good things, it also falls shorts in many aspects, becoming a fun game that still is too far from the classics.

    This adventure holds up incredibly well, considering it's a PSP game. It’s still quite enjoyable nowadays if you’re looking for an old-school RPG, even if there isn’t a lot of effort behind this version.

    Camouflaj has done an incredible job making you feel like Iron Man, but unfortunately there are many obstacles between you and that feeling. The core gameplay is fantastic, but we’re going to spend a long, long time just watching other characters talk or stuck in loading times, constantly breaking the immersion.

    Kakarot is one of the games based on this manga we’ve enjoyed the most. It’s a fantastic adventure, and even if it’s not perfect, it’s made by fans for fans. If you are one of those kids who sit in front of the TV waiting for the next episode to air, you’ll enjoy every second of it.

    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.

    Hard West is one of those games made for people looking for a challenge. If you're looking for a hard strategy game, this might be a interesting option.

    Tatics is a good turn-based strategy game Warhammer fans will love. It could've used a campaign with more focus on the narrative to keep us more engaged, though.

    Although enjoyable, this Star Wars VR games has some good ideas but also many elements that could and should be improved.
    • 73 Metascore

    It's not a huge step forward from the previous episode, but you'll find so much content and fun that if you liked the first one you'll have little to complain about.

    It is a game that arrives when Wii is in its final days, but a great arcade, which follows the path of F-Zero but having its own personality.

    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.

    This is a bold and interesting proposal, although very buggy. But it will surprise many for its freshness and freedom.

    These games bring back the classics with beautiful new graphics, but even with its new features, there isn’t any innovation, but a step backwards for the series.

    This is a solid remastered that improve some aspects and adds content. Nothing groundbreaking, but it’s the best way to enjoy this game.

    Blood Bowl is a game which knows how to translate the essence of the original tabletop game, and has achieved something we thought was impossible: to make it fun for newcomers.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a humble game, with a nice design and a lot of effort put into it. It's a very interesting idea, but it needs more and better explanations of its mechanics.

    Evil West is a weird but effective combination of hack & slash and Western with vampires, that goes straight to the point and is just fun.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The game is very well made and cand surprise many people for the great amount of content it offers, with around 25 hours of play, and its characters' charm. A very polished game that children will enjoy.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great example of what an expansion should be. A reasonable amount of content, a reasonable price and a great experience no matter if you played Second Son or not.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    It is everything you can expect: very fun, well-presented and with a simple, yet powerful editor, although not as much as the domestic version.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is an adventure with a 32-bit era vibe, something that we wish we had more often. Yes, it’s not perfect, but if you miss those games from a simpler time, Pumpkin Jack is a good option.

    PES 2011 3D is both classic and innovative, trying to offer a new way of playing, making the most of the 3D vision, but also allowing the player to reject this and choose the classic gameplay of the last ten years.

    With a completely traditional control system (Wiimote is held in horizontal), Square Enix offer us an interesting proposal within the ever-popular tower defense subgenre thanks to My Life as a Dark Lord.

    Arcade Spirits is an interesting story about video games and personal relationships. It is also a good entry point for the visual novel genre, so, if it catches your eye, give it a try.

    They Always Run might feel a bit underwhelming because of its gameplay, but the variety of the situations it offers, its art style and focus on the narrative make it worth your time.

    Temtem is a very well designed game full of charisma, although its multiplayer feels very underwhelming and we don’t see the need for battle passes and microtransactions.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you like this type of games you won't be disappointed, but the genre is crowded enough and you should consider it depending on your budget.

    Battle League is a game with fantastic gameplay and a worrying lack of content. We’re sure there’s a lot of free content coming, but for now it’s a very barebone experience.

    Despite its ups and downs, and its limitations, Kinect Sports is a great game, with such an ability to turn something new, Kinect, into the center of many hours of fun and magic.

    This collection holds many hours of fun, but some aspects of the gameplay haven't aged particularly well. Still, it's something Harry Potter fans will enjoy.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    This is a very interesting title that many people will not play because its characters are quite ugly. As simple as that. But if you can get past those, let say, not appealing protagonists, you'll find a deep platformer full of surprises.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Minoria is a very solid adventured that revolves around exploration and combat. It is a step forward compared to its predecessor, so if you enjoyed the Momodora series, make sure you check it out.

    Hayabusa is back with a correct remaster that could have been so much better, but at least allows us to enjoy this great series once again on modern hardware.

    This is a solid alternative to Pokémon, particularly for users who don’t have access to a Nintendo console. It has some shortcomings that you can expect from a smaller production, although it is a very enjoyable game overall.

    The last installment of Dragon Ball in the portable market is a notorious RPG game of classic style... maybe too classic for the times.

    Wizard of Legend executes its idea quite successfully and creates a very enjoyable experience, although it ends up feeling repetitive.

    Sludge Life is a unique game, where freedom and rebellion are the key. We feel the controls are not good enough, considering how precise we need to be sometimes, although eventually we can get used to them.

    It's a mobile game, but it still feels like a Final Fantasy. JRPG fans will enjoy the game, and it's free-to-play model isn't as aggressive as you might expect. If you've enjoyed this franchise before, it's worth a try.

    • 70 Critic Score
    This is an interesting new entry in the popular series, but unfortunately it starts to feel too repetitive too soon.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    As a product for the fans who loved the original episodes is good, but as an HD remake there's a lot of room for improvement. Recommended for those who want to (re)live the experience, taking into account its reduced priced.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We like where the story is going, but at the same time we feel like our decisions aren't really relevant, and we miss having more control over the character.

    Mini Ninjas is a good action game, entertaining, enjoyable and able to offer some hours of good fun, but far from being one of the great games of the genre.

    Sakura Wars is a one of those games that knows how to overcome its shortcomings to make you feel part of it. It’s a shame that the combat system is quite bad, since we’ve really enjoyed everything else.

    Dandara takes the metroidvania formula and gives it its unique elements. It has some aspects that would have been improved, but overall it's a wonderful adventure.

    This is a safe bet: if you like the original you will find more of that here. It's a good RPG, but there aren't many surprises here.

    Rainbow Six Siege is a great game to break from the lone-wolf kind of shooter. This means relying on random players or on having a team ready, but if you're ok with that, it is a great experience.

    A game that improves upon the original, but without offering anything innovative, just new vehicles, tracks and the possibility to exchange content through Origin.

    Behind an entertaining game we find a critic message: "politics is indeed a game". If we manage to get into the dynamics of the title we'll be spending a long time playing this game and learning the secrets of this world somehow unknown to most of us.

    As a port it's just correct, but the quality of the games included is undeniable, and becomes another great opportunity to try them.

    It was conceived as a Mega Drive/Genesis game, and that’s what it is. Now you have to think whether the features of a “true" 16 bit RPG are something positive or negative in 2014. If they are positive, then go for it.

    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.

    • 70 Critic Score
    This is an original adventure that you'll probably love or hate. We've had a good time with it, and even though it could've improved some aspects, we think it's worth your time if you're looking for something different.

    Tom Clancy's Hawx is a very welcome game because of the current shortage of this kind of title 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.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An interesting game in a genre which is becoming crowded recently. Although it doesn't bring anything especially new in terms of gameplay, it is a simple, yet enjoyable game, with very good graphics.

    Supermassive is back with an enjoyable adventure that we recommend playing with friends, although we also feel the core of the experience –the story– isn’t strong enough.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A charming game, full of humor, with pleasant visuals, both technical and artisticly. It is a bold proposal that brings new ideas, but falls midway because of its repetitive mechanics.
    • 72 Metascore

    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you enjoyed the first part and you just want more, you’ll find it here. Other than that, Chapter 2: Retribution is an enjoyable adventure, but not the ‘must-have’ for VR that it was the original.
    • 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.

    This is the best version of No More Heroes available. Uncensored and with high definition graphics, it includes new content and the possiblity to use Move and enjoy the same experience as the original. But it loses the surprise factor, and does not make the most of PlayStation 3 capabilities.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A different take on the series that works when it comes to collectables and exploration, although sacrifices its combat to reach a wider audience.

    Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a game designed to be fun with friends, and it does deliver. There’s nothing revolutionary, but if you’ve enjoyed previous entries or if you just want to shoot nazis with friends, you’ll have a great time with Dead War.

    UNBEATABLE delivers an ambitious blend of a stylish 90s anime narrative adventure and a deep arcade rhythm game. While its captivating soul and aesthetic are undeniable, the story suffers from pacing issues, a lack of polish, and technical bugs. Yet, the robust and musically varied rhythm arcade mode offers an immensely enjoyable and compelling experience.

    Race Pro not only stands as a realistic simulation experience, but also has almost everything a player can demand from a title of this sort. Apart from that, it needed some polishing in its technical aspects, and doesn't have enough additional content like more game modes or different elements, which would have given the experience some more variety and made for a more solid game. But despite what it lacks, this is one of the best representations of racing simulation, and SimBin has finally been able to translate to a console what has been bringing to PC for years.

    There are many good ideas here that fit very well into the gameplay. It might not be too original, but it's fun and well-balanced. It still has some aspects to polish, but seams like a good start.
