    Superstars is fantastic party game where you and your friends can have a great time with a solid selection of classic minigames.

    It's not going to make history, but if you like puzzles, action and Lovecraft, this is a game you should try.

    Crackdown is back with a fun game that ends up being quite repetitive. Sumo Digital has done a great job finishing this title, but we expected a more evolved concept after so many years. The Wrecking Zone, at the moment, is pretty much a proof of concept, and we hope this multiplayer mode grows with future updates.

    A good strategy game which fans of the first game will like, despite not evolving too much the formula of the original. Those who didn't like the first game won't like this sequel either, but it offers a much more polished gameplay, great management and strategy options, and it makes us feels inside the legend.

    There are several gameplay mechanics, but everything works pretty well. If you like trading cards you should give it a try.

    Gato Roboto is a cute Metroid tribute. It doesn’t do anything particularly new, but it is a very enjoyable adventure overall. If you like the genre, you’ll love this cat.

    Cuisine Royale is a fun take on the Battle Royale genre, but it’s also a solid game that deserves an opportunity. It’s going to be hard for it to fight those Battle Royale titans, but it’s worth a try if you want something different.

    Fox n Forests is a great tribute to 16-bit platformers. It’s nothing more than that, but it might be the game you’re looking for.

    Mind Control Delete is a somehow experimental expansion that brings exactly what we wanted: more Superhot and new ideas.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's quite hard to consider this a "game", and it rather feels like an interactive documentary. In any case, we think it's something necessary and worth checking out.

    Platforming, puzzles and exploration that shine thanks to the love the developers have put into this game, which transpires through the adventure.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A typical expansion which adds new options and missions to the main game and is a good choice for series followers. Although it adds new content, it doesn't bring anything really new in graphics or gameplay mechanics, so those looking for new things to do should think twice.

    As a remaster or collection, we expected something better, but the quality of the games still is fantastic. If you’re thinking about (re)discovering this excellent trilogy, it’s not a bad option.

    Despite not being a technical wonder nor a very original game between the multiple titles of its sort on Nintendo DS, Eledees is a fun game, entertaining and with an interesting story which above all stands out for its good use of the tactile interface.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is a quite interesting take on the series, with a cleverly executed point-and-click adventure... in VR. The only thing is that feels pricey for a 2-hour-long game that's not very replayable, and the story could've been more relevant for the fans, but as a game and gameplay-wise, is a very good VR experience.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This short narrative horror game offers solid puzzles, an engaging story with well-acted live-action sequences, and creative editing mechanics, but its familiar mansion exploration, uneven performance, and limited innovation make it feel repetitive despite its personality and concise pacing.

    Ultimately, this game won't make history for its theme, but it indeed has a good quantity of fun to offer.

    Fatal Bullet isn't perfect, but it's a very enjoyable game thanks to its well-designed core mechanics. If you like SAO, you'll enjoy this game.

    Kingdoms & Lords won't disappoint: it allows you to manage and control a kingdom and make you feel like a knight. Maybe it's not too ambitious –and not very original indeed–, but it brings many interesting and complete options that will keep us entertained for a long while.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    We like how SAO went a little bit more action-oriented this time. It's quality over quantity, but we've enjoyed our time with Lost Song, and even though you know the game is not perfect, the feelings you get from it are worth your time.
    • 80 Metascore

    Despite refined controls, improved tire physics, and solid AI behavior that enhance the on-track experience, the game lacks innovation in its game modes and fails to capitalize on F1’s rich history, making it enjoyable yet stagnant for longtime fans.

    This retro-inspired 2D action-platformer delivers tight controls, precise level design, and authentic 8-bit visuals with catchy chiptune music, creating an enjoyable homage to classic NES games. While the humor is very specific to fans of the Nerd and the experience is brief, it remains a charming, well-crafted short adventure for those who appreciate nostalgic action.

    One of the most original games we saw last year on PC turns out as a very interesting iOS experience. If you can deal with what being a surgeon means, then go ahead.

    • 75 Critic Score
    It is not the Silent Hill you have been expecting for a decade, but it is not as bad as the most pessimist predicted. If you liked Homecoming you should give Downpour a chance, and although part of the story is predictable and the horror aspect has plenty of room to improve, the game is an interesting one and ultimately delivers, although far from the best times of the series.

    Cursed Mountain is a good choice against those great survival series available on the shelves, with a particular rhythm and an original atmosphere.

    It is not the best version and it could have been fit better on PS Vita, but we still loved how the game holds up. Fans of old-school action games will enjoy this one.

    It misses an extra push to become a great playable tribute, but still is a fun way of (re)discover these NES classics.

    Sairento is incredibly fun. Its gameplay just works, and allows us to do things we thought weren’t possible in VR. It’s a shame it doesn’t look particularly good, but its core is very, very solid.

    An ideal game for newcomers to the genre and for all those who want to enjoy a good story, full of mysteries and intrigue. Its only flaws are the short duration of the adventure and its low difficulty.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The game belongs to an almost extinct genre, and that makes it attractive for old school gamers looking for this kind of action.

    If you like AoT, it's one of the best adaptations we could ask for. It's a shame its gameplay is quite repetitive and can end up being boring, but AoT fans should give it a try.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A game inspired by the classics of the 90s, with a great atmosphere, level design, and exploration, but also with some flaws, such as an uneven combat, some obtuse design choices, and a questionable save system. It is a very old-school experience, for better and for worse, that can captivate and frustrate in equal measure.

    Spectacular, fun and challenging, Koramaia Omega is a nice addition to PS4's catalogue. It's not very long, but it easy to enjoy it while it lasts.

    It's short and has some issues, but the story told and how it's told make it a very interesting and unique experience. One of those games that makes you wonder where the studio will go next.
    • 77 Metascore

    It's a piece of history, but nothing surprising or a complete collection. Still, very enjoyable if you want to relieve these classics.

    The game holds loads of fun, especially for Marvel fans. In-app purchases are not that fun, though, taking into account we've already paid for the game.

    SGS EX is a game that deserves more attention. Fun, engaging and replayable, it's a great experience for those looking for some ol' school shoot 'em up.

    Legend of Mana is a very divisive game, and this remaster is not going to change that. You might love or hate the game, but this is a solid update of the classic that also includes localization to several languages.

    This is a unique puzzle, easy to go through, but it can get us engaged for many hours, as it demands some ability to make combos and tricks without colliding with the walls.

    • 75 Critic Score
    This is one of those games that is excellent both in concept and implementation, a product that lets you have fun and be surprised while we test our abilities. A game apt for every public, although its difficulty might make some people step back. But those who like the formula will love the game.

    Anomaly is, above all, a very fresh and interesting game, with fun mechanics. It is a modest game which hasn't attracted much attention, but we are sure it will surprise many.

    The core gameplay and the feeling of skateboarding is incredible, but the mission design requires a lot of work. If you are a skater in real life or a hardcore fan of the sport, you’ll enjoy. If you’re not, at least wait for some patches to make it more accessible.
    • 70 Metascore

    A fun, direct and simple application, and also really addictive. It achieves to entertain thanks to its well balanced gameplay. There are lots of games in its genre, but this one stands out.
    • 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.

    Despite its flaws, we have to say we have a more than decent title here, heir to a legacy of classic survival horror elements and an example of what Silent Hill should be in this generation. Although the final result is not so awesome, this is a good opportunity to return to that silent village.

    The logical evolution we can expect from the same title on the PS3, adapting well to the new hardware of PSVITA. A fun game, pleasing to play, that will satisfy fans of the series. Those who enjoy this type of games should give it a chance.

    It is better than Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, so those who liked that one will like this new installment. But those unconvinced by the previous game won't change their opinion with this new entry, as it improves on it, but doesn't evolve or change much.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's a shame that, in many cases, this adventure repeats the same errors than the original, and in fact, in case of having corrected them, this would have been one of the most important games of the genre.
    • 78 Metascore

    An enjoyable cinematic adventure that creatively blends narrative platforming with first-person puzzles, offering an expressive story through minimalism, despite frustrating trial-and-error moments and occasional oddity in cinematic scenes due to "lowpoly," all leading to an escape in a continually twisting dystopian city.

    In Heading Out, the journey matters more than the destination. It combines narrative adventure, driving arcade, and management elements with a unique art style.

    With a mix of inspirations from games like Shadow of the Colossus, Dragon’s Dogma, and Breath of the Wild, Eternal Strands offers a fresh yet familiar action RPG experience with engaging combat, strategic encounters against giant foes, and an attractive art style.
