    It is a very easy and simple game, but it is aimed at a young audience that will definitely enjoy it. One of those games that will be in many letters to Santa Claus.

    Harmonix proves they know how to make a great music game, different from all the dancing-based competitions.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Yes, it is fun, but it doesn't feel as rewarding or addictive as other Angry Birds games. Still, a crossover worth checking out.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    It feels like a great adventure, an adventure that those who miss deep RPG, dungeons and spending days in front of the computer will definitely enjoy.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Musou fans have a great choice here, since it offers a dynamic game with a deep gameplay. Those who might not even know what a 'musou' is have also an accessible game we're sure they are going to have fun with.
    • 91 Metascore

    Platinum Games manages to improve everything we knew and loved from the first game, creating a master piece everybody should play.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Sakaguchi still knows how to put up a great game, even if it's a mobile free-to-play. It's fresh and addictive, and it deserves an opportunity on your Android or iDevice.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    After a great episode last year, we have a good game that doesn't evolve that much. Still, it provides a very solid simulation, and F1 fans will definitely enjoy it.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Mikami is back, with a game that reminds of Resident Evil 4, with a touch of Silent Hill and The Last of Us. It's long, hard, fun and challenging, a game you cannot miss if you enjoyed RE4.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It looks good and it's fun for a while, but unless you're willing to play online and happy with the monetization system, there are better options.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It is not the Borderlands 3 we are still waiting for, since that little "something" that made Borderlands 2 great is missing. Still, if you just want more Borderlands, it delivers.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There are some issues that prevent it from becoming a better game, but still it delivers a good feeling that fans of the original game will enjoy.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you just want to play, this is a great choice, since you can access all the community levels for free. If you want to create, you've got a very accessible and powerful tool, but keep in mind you'll need a lot of time or some real money to unlock content.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's a shame we're not getting any new content here, but it is indeed the best opportunity to try an outstanding game that have already surprised many players during the previous generation.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Even though it occasionally gets quite simple, it is absorbing and really challenging on the hardest difficulties.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    This is a very original and fun take on the platformer and puzzle concept. If you are a Gold user go ahead and give it a try, because it deserves it.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Even though having an annual franchise can be dangerous, Activision is doing a great job keeping the series fresh and fun.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    There's no doubt Crytek has done a great job on the visual side, also on PC, but the gameplay still feels empty.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    It is fun and addictive, but the difficulty hasn't been properly balanced, and sometime feels that it just tries to artificially make the game longer.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    This is the great, solid experience we played last year, but improved in many ways. One of the best basketball games we've ever played.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The more you play, the better it gets. DriveClub is a great racing experience meant to be played online, so if you want to make the most of it, make sure you go social on PSN.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    We loved the weird idea behind the game, but the gameplay doesn't go deep enough to match the original concept. Still, if you like what it has to offer, it does deliver.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A great episode of the series, clever and well executed. If you're looking for an adventure full of mysteries waiting to be resolved, this is the one.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A game that finds the balance between the new and the classic survival horror. If you like being scared with an infiltration-based gameplay, it's a great option, but if you like Alien as well, it is a game you cannot miss.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Although it is not a game to remember, it is a challenging experience, one of those titles meant to test your skills and make you have a good time.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is one of those games driven by its story, even though the narrative is better than the story told, but all under stunning visuals. If you like the concept, then we think you're going to enjoy this one.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's really hard to learn how to play this game, and even though that should be something good and challenging, we feel it's rather a design problem. Still, if you're willing to go on extremely hard strategy battles, go for it.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    It takes a classic strategy formula, but makes it feel fresh, offering a fun, addictive and almost unique experience.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    This is a great, fresh open world action adventure game, with a very well-implemented Nemesis system. It's an outstanding surprise, and we think it deserves a try.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is a good sequel, and even though it is not a great step forward in the franchise, it is indeed a game that those who enjoyed the original will have fun playing.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It's the same Dance Central, but conceived as a core (and cheaper) experience you can expand with the songs you like.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    This great game reborn, full of fun and action, with an outstanding coop multiplayer.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Even though it's played in a handheld, it is as good as any other game of the series. It works great on 3DS, and the fighting system has been improved, tweaked and revisited with new additions and objects. One of those games you shouldn't miss if you own a 3DS.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    We love the amount of freedom we can find here. We can either play it as an RPG or as a life simulator, or anywhere in between. A great experience full of surprises.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is an RPG with a very strong personality, but its story is dense and it's really difficult to follow considering the fact that the previous games weren't available in our region. As a game, it doesn't disappoint, even though there are better options out there.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    It is obviously a step forward in the franchise, but not as big a it should be. The additions are great, but we would have liked to have seen a true evolution of the visuals or new modes. Still, it is a great FIFA.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    A great evolution of the franchise. It no longer feels like the experiment that was the first one, but like a great experience full of personality, with an outstanding gameplay and full of content.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is an old-school RPG game, where every player can get deeper into it the way they want. It's like an open window to a past time full of apocalyptic fun.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you liked the first episode you'll like this one, especially thanks to its new multiplayer mode. We miss a wider variety of situations, but in general terms it's well designed and engaging.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It is far from perfect, but we prefer an imperfect game full of personality over a "perfect" generic one. If you like Telltale style, but in a bizarre, Japanese way, then go for it.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    We think there's still room for improvement (like a quite empty co-op), but it is definitely a great game for musou fans.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It may have been "better" with a button-based control scheme, but then it would not have been as unique as it is.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As long as you expect a light RPG, both in game mechanics and story, it's indeed enjoyable, but there are better options out there.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    It feels like a transitional title till we get the fourth episode, but we've been very happy with its playable side, so we think fans of the series will love it.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Even though it's not particularly original, it is fun and addictive, and a great choice if you've ever enjoyed a Lemmings game.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There are not too many additions compared to the original version, but it still is a great game and plays great on Wii U.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    If you have a 3DS, if you like music games and if you are a Final Fantasy fan, it's one of those games you cannot miss.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    It could have had a better story or had a wider variety of missions, but still, Destiny is one of the best first person shooters we've seen in the last few years.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    A great experience, perfect for mobile gaming. It's easy but deep (no pun intended), and it deserves being installed on every iDevice.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    We wanted more ambition, but the game is still great, and this is the best way to play it on consoles.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's nothing too original, but still fun for some short sessions. Still, we feel its free-to-play model a little bit abusive, something not everyone is going to enjoy.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    We feel it isn't as good as the first season, but we really enjoyed it and we loved all the consequences to our decisions. Looking forward to the third season.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you play it like one of these games for short gaming sessions, then it does deliver a fun experience.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It was a great game on consoles and PC, and it still is a great game on mobile devices. The adaptation works perfectly, so if you haven't played it before, you have no excuse now.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    As a visual novel we wouldn't say it's "bad", but it's definitely a joke not everyone would get. If you want to play it, make sure to understand what it is before paying for it.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This might not be the game you were waiting for on PS4, but it delivers loads of fun. It's better than its previous episode, and if you are a PS Plus subscriber, then it's a game you cannot miss.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Original, engaging and fun. It might feel a little repetitive, but still deserves a try.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Capcom has done a great job bringing the game to PC, but there's no reason to play if you've already done on Xbox One, since the additions are merely visuals.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Depending on what games you've played before, you'll find more or fewer additions, but this is a great musou, with a deep combat system and some charismatic cameos.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Everything feels like a step forward, even though there are some aspects (like random tutorials or some situations in which we felt completely out of control) that we would like to see more polished. Still, a great choice for The Sims fans.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It is a great strategy/management game. There's nothing like innovation here, but still is a very recommendable experience, specially for Star Wars fans.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It pretty much improves everything we didn't like about the first episode. If you like the concept or if you enjoyed the first Danganronpa, this definitely deserves your time and money.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It feels like a classic Sega games, with a solid Sonic based mixed up with its own features. It has some issues, but it's a great game worth considering.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    This is an incredible fighting game, addictive and both deep and accessible. It doesn't have too much content, but if you're OK with that, you're going to have a blast playing it with friends.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The great news here is it is available on PS Vita, since the additions are not many. Still, it's a good game, and a great choice if it's your first game of the franchise.
    • 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.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has all the elements to be a success, but if fails to mix them properly. The concept is original and we think it deserves a try, but it's a shame it doesn't get it right.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    It feels good and plays well, at least for the first hours. Then it feels kind of "empty", and becomes quite repetitive.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    NIS and Disgaea never disappoint, and this is yet another game RPG fans shouldn't miss. If you've played the original game, you'll find many new things here, even though the core experience is pretty much the same.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Even though there are just a few differences between these versions and the original ones, it still feels fun a fresh, and it's a great experience for those looking for something different.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It still is a great game, and even though it's hard and challenging, it does feel as a rewarding experience. If you like the genre and you are patient enough, go for it.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's not easy to get into, but it does offer a lot of content. If you are looking for a dungeon-based RPG, this is a great choice.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is one of these ideas that are not designed for everyone, but if you are open for innovation it can be fascinating.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A great example of a remasterization. Two great games better than ever, and a great opportunity to discover or rediscover them.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Blizzard has done a great job adapting the UI and the control system to consoles, so now it's up to you how you prefer playing it. Either way, just make sure you don't miss it.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    It feels like a big expansion, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it. Actually, it's one of those games RPG fans cannot miss.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    It’s not the most original puzzle game out there, but it’s fun, hard and perfect if you’re looking for a cooperative experience with a platforming touch.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    It somehow feels like classic Populous-like games, even though at some point the in-app purchases show up to reminds us that nothing is free these days.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    This is one of those games PS Plus users should not miss, and if you like puzzles and platforming it's a must-have. It's original and fresh, and even though it could have been a little bit more polished, it still is a great experience.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    We wouldn't call this a 'horror game', rather an adventure but scary one. It's quite repetitive, but if you enjoy exploring an old manor under a creepy atmosphere, then it will satisfy you.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Very simple but yet very deep, this is a great puzzle game that has more to offer than it looks. Very recommended, especially if you can play it for free with PS Plus.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It's amazing how such a great game was made by one single person. Still, the player won't worry about how many people is behind a game, but in any case they will find a very engaging experience, with puzzles worth solving and environment worth visiting.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It is aimed at a young audience, but if you're playing with friends it can be fun. It could have been better though with online modes, though. Still, make sure you try it before buying it.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    We really enjoyed it, even though we didn't like that much the microtransaction system, specially when it's a game you have to pay for. If you're interested in it, try the mobile version first, which is free-to-play.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a good fun, except for those who look for something that feels like the first episode in the series. It's less RPG and more action, but if you're OK with that, it deserves a try.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's a great roguelike platformer, even though it brings zero additions compared to the PC version. If you haven't played it yet, it's a great option, especially if your Vita needs some games for the summer.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's a lot of room for improvement, but still it's a great action platformer that those looking for a challenge will definitely enjoy.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The underlying experience is a good card-based game, but it's way too focused on the "pay-to-win" model. This is somehow understandable when those games are free, but not when paying €9.99 for it.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is one of those puzzle games you either love or hate. We loved it and, even though it felt quite limited after a few days, it's a game worth trying.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you're an RPG fan looking for a fresh experience, this is your game. It feels a little bit short, but it's quite original and we think it deserves a try.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    No matter if on PS3 or on PS4, The Last of Us is an experience you have to live. Obviously, if you have the chance of doing it with an improved version, with better visuals, extras and so on, the choice seems clear.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The concept is original, even though the whole experience is not as polished as it should. It is recommended for those looking for a very challenging (sometimes frustrating) platforming and puzzle game.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Announced as a thriller, it is rather puzzle game, and a very, very hand one. Make sure you understand how it works before buying it, because it's one of those games you either love or hate.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A good ol' shooter, full of great gameplay but with a not-so-full budget, which prevents it from becoming better. Still, a good experience.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Now, everything's ready for the final episode. Actually, so ready that maybe you want to wait for it so you can play these two together.
    • 84 Metascore

    Somewhere between being remade and being remastered, Abe's back with an adventure that's a little bit easier, but still full of charm.

    • 30 Critic Score
    The idea might have worked 15 years ago, but today the concept isn't fun anymore.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    The idea is good, and it manages to entertain, but the experience is extremely shot, so you might want to wait for an offer to buy it.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    This is a wasted opportunity. Not only an empty gameplay, but also a confusing interface, lots of adds and in-app purchases from the very beginning.
