    It has its ups and downs, but it's a really good game. If you like the setting and the franchise, AC Unity won't disappoint you.

    A noteworthy game that has been adapted well for the iPhone, except for some framerate issues. The major problem is the price, one of the most expensive of the App Store.

    Valley has a really good start, but it quickly fades into monotony. There are good ideas behind it, but it doesn't make the most of them throughout the adventure.

    This comprehensive 30th-anniversary celebration of Rayman delivers an invaluable digital museum, excellent emulation of multiple game versions, and a challenging yet rewarding platforming experience. However, the inexplicable decision to replace the original, iconic soundtrack with a 'reimagined' version severely detracts from an otherwise near-perfect historical preservation.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It has greatly improved in comparison with the previous installment, mostly because we can configure the game to be a simulation or an arcade experience.

    This is a great graphic adventure that works pretty well, but really shines because of its art direction.

    A nice platformer that doesn’t do (or want to do) anything new. If you like the genre and if you’re looking for something accessible, this can be a good option.

    Square Enix brings us a spin-off of Dragon Quest that reminds us of Pokémon, but with its own style and mechanics, such as monster fusion and seasonal changes. The exploration and the variety of maps are its strong points, but it suffers from technical issues, such as framerate drops and pop-in, and a lack of originality in some of the monster designs.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This game would have been an oasis in the desert had it been released four or five years ago, but it still achieved to stand out in a genre with many other great adventures, thanks to its great story and puzzles.

    Wii U gets a challenging game, fun, addictive and full of surprises, that becomes one of its best downloadable titles.

    So far we have a very promising series, where Telltale tries to do some new things, even though they haven't fixed the issues we found in other of their works yet. In any case, if you like Guardians of the Galaxy and Telltale, it's a game you should try.

    SILT has really good ideas that sometimes are obscured by its lineal design. However, this doesn’t prevent it from being a very interesting experience.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's still a great game, and visually it hasn't aged at all, but it feels like a missed opportunity to add something new or add some other titles of the series. In any case, a great way to enjoy Patapon.

    The game doesn't stand out in anything, except in its four-player cooperative mode.

    Stranger Things 3: The Game does some things really well and some others not so much. However, it’s a good way of rediscovering the events of the third season.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    With two islands, a good number of luxury cars, cool environments and lots of races, Test Drive Unlimited 2 follows the path of the previous installment, and improves on it, although it doesn't change the formula.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It manages to take a step forward from the previous episode, and becomes one of the most faithful adaptations of the Warhammer universe.

    This is a great incarnation of the classic puzzle game, but also a lost opportunity to introduce new features.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Despite its colorful world and fun movement mechanics, Completely Stretchy fails to capture the essence of its inspirations, offering a shallow experience with a restrictive open world, uninspired objectives, and limited interaction beyond its quirky aesthetics. Its art direction and humorous dialogues provide some charm, but the game ultimately feels like a watered-down version of Sludge Life with little new to offer.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It follows the path of the previous game and offers some improvements. It's true there isn't any spectacular change, but they've achieved a much more balanced and fun result.

    Get Together adds an interesting dimension to the Sims' social life, but the execution is not the best to make the most of it. Still, it's a good choice for those who want to explore another side of the Sims.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Anima has a few issues, more on the technical side than on the gameplay itself, but it's a very enjoyable game. Considering the lack of ARGPs we've seen lately, it's not a bad choice.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rise of Iron is disappointing. Its price is too high for the content it adds, but at the same time, we can't deny that it's still Destiny, and we always enjoy playing it.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Although it is not forgiving with those not going to devote themselves to the cause of saving the god of rock, this Guitar Hero may save the franchise from decline.
    • 72 Metascore

    This new installment of Drawn to Life has resulted in an even better title than the first game, with more options and a better game experience.

    A fun endless runner that does its job. Apart from expanding the League of Legends universe, it doesn’t offer anything particularly interesting.

    Dungeon Siege 3 doesn't stand out in anything, except in its four-player cooperative mode, which will please those looking for some hack and slash fun with their friends.

    Hands down, Deadly Creatures if one of the most original and entertaining offerings of the console portfolio and, not only that, is one of the most ambitious project regarding immersion, both in gameplay as in the atmosphere achieved.

    • 82 Critic Score
    Blood Bowl can probably result harsh for many at first, and the real-time option is not so well balanced as the one turn-based, but even though, this is a very recommended and solid experience.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Dark Devotion is full of imperfections, but it is also full of great ideas. If you like metroidvania games and the Dark Souls feeling, you should give it a try, since it does deliver a challenging but enjoyable adventure.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Lego Indiana Jones 2 is a decent sequel, keeping the style of the original without changing the formula, which makes sure it will be enjoyed by those who liked the first game, but won't surprise anyone.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Semispheres is simple, but it isn't easy. If you're looking for a challenging puzzle make sure you have a look at this one, even though it falls short on content and modes.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Overall, this series has been good, and the fifth episode is the closure it needed. Yes, we would like to see a change in the Telltale formula, but it still is quite enjoyable when we have dialogues and characters like these.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Omega Force slightly tweaks its musou formula to deliver a very good, fun and frenetic game. It's not meant to be a revolution, but it does deliver what musou fans can expect from the series.

    Stranger’s Wrath is back with a decent remaster that works well on Switch. Some aspects of the game haven’t aged very well, but the adventure is still quite enjoyable and unique.

    Saints Row 2 is a great action and racing game... at least on consoles. Performing and control issues diminish greatly the quality of this PC port.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    To those who have not tried this series or something similar before, it is a good chance for a different approach to FPS games. Direct action without automatic healing and a high difficulty level only for the brave.

    Visually stunning and technically outstanding, Hollywood Monsters is a must-have for graphic adventures fans.
    • 72 Metascore

    Disc Jam gets the hardest part right delivering a great gameplay, but fails to offer a more complete product. Thankfully, that's easy to fix, and we hope the team behind it adds more content soon. If you have PS Plus, give it a try.

    Pocket Camp isn’t a traditional Animal Crossing, but it works quite well as a mobile game. Considering how well received it’s been, we hope for quite a lot of support from Nintendo.

    Borderlands 2 holds up pretty well, and in VR it feels like almost a brand new experience. The gunplay changes quite a lot, and being in Pandora is really, really cool.

    Pro Cycling Manager 2010 offers everything a cycling fan would want. It has lots of variety in its game mode, a powerful graphics engine, and an overwhelming amount of options and statistics.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Hokuto no Ken fans will love this game, although it's not as good as the franchise it borrows from, Yakuza. Still, a good and enjoyable adventure.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Another Souls-like that doesn’t try to innovate much, but at least offers interesting story and setting to compensate for its conservative gameplay.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite its creative world, humorous tone, and surprisingly deep dungeon-crawling combat, King of Meat struggles with repetitive design, excessive progression systems, and an almost empty player base that undermines its user-generated content ambitions.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    My Hero Academia: All's Justice delivers an expansive roster and faithful anime presentation, serving as a dedicated gift for fans. However, the experience is hampered by camera instability, inexplicable difficulty spikes, and combat imbalances, limiting its appeal primarily to series enthusiasts rather than broader fighting game audiences.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Megaton Rainfall has a very interesting concept, and we've had a lot of fun with it. It's a shame it gets a little bit repetitive over time and visually doesn't hold up, but overall it's quite enjoyable.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you’re looking for a challenging metroidvania, Aeterna Noctis is worth your time. Although it doesn’t really reach the level of its best competitors, it is a great adventure.

    Serial Cleaner is different, original and risky, but it is also quite good. A great option if you're looking for something to play between more traditional games.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Like many other PSVR launch titles, it feels like an expanded demo, but it's fun and considering its price, not a bad option. One of those games you want to show to your friends.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    This is a pretty good choice if you’re looking for a lighter take on strategy. It can be quite fun and exciting, so try the demo and judge for yourself.

    Tormented Souls is one of the best classic survival horror released in years, that unfortunately gets frustrating because of some design choices. If you miss that sort of game, make sure you play it.

    It has the flavour of the original Sonic, but refined. It may result too short for its price, but it is very replayable.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A great game which we have seen several times before, but is still a great action game, as fun as the first game. If you already had the game in another platform you won't find anything really new or different here, but if not this is a very recommended acquisition.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you like either puzzles or AR, you should try it. If you like both, then you're going to love this. It's a nice surprise for those who want to play in a different way.

    Telltale is finding the right way to make Minecraft: Story Mode a game for everyone, and not just for kids. It's a little bit late, but if you've liked it so far, you're going to enjoy this fourth episode.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    It’s always good to have new options and opportunities to play a game. The Last Hope hasn’t aged as well as other RPGs, but it’s a good game, particularly if you enjoy the combat more than the story.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A good and entertaining shooter, although somewhat far from the best games in the genre. But the classy style of James Bond makes it special.

    It's easy to understand and offers a different experience, something not very common these days. Technically surprising, it's hard to forget the fact that it's has been developed for kids, but if you're a Harry Potter fan, you should give it a try.
    • 72 Metascore

    As a game there are many aspects that should be polished or improved, but it is a great experience, original and very didactic.

    F1 24 delivers enjoyable arcade-style driving mechanics with improved car handling and noticeable tire wear effects, yet disappoints with AI aggression and the absence of accidents during races. Despite technical upgrades and a robust Career mode, its annual release cycle results in less content and lingering issues like long loading times.
    • 72 Metascore

    Although it is not as technically advanced as other downloadable games of the consoles, and the control is sometimes frustrating, it is a good opportunity for war action fans to revive one of the classics of the genre.

    A correct 'brain trainer', but lacks a good presentation or more game modes. This, together with some other aspects that could've been improved makes Smart As… a good option for those who are looking for this kind of experience on PSVita, taking into account that it's the only one.
    • 72 Metascore

    This standalone expansion delivers a tighter, more action-focused campaign with new weapons, environmental executions, and a deeper look into RoboCop's character, while maintaining the series' satirical tone and fan-service appeal, though its weak enemy AI, technical issues, and uneven playable character sections slightly diminish the experience.

    Marvel Maximum Collection rescues several classic titles from obscurity, pairing solid emulation with essential quality-of-life features like rewinding and save states. However, the library remains frustratingly inconsistent, balancing iconic arcade hits against mediocre 8 and 16-bit ports. Although it serves as a nostalgic trip, the barebones presentation and limited extras prevent it from being essential.
