    The experience remains solid and addictive, but those who played the series before won't see a big evolution here. Still, the formula continues to work, so no one should be disappointed.

    These are three great games you shouldn't miss, so this is a great opportunity if you missed them before. The port could have been better, but having the Sly trilogy on a handheld is, indeed, tempting.

    This is one of those milestones in mobile entertainment, unique and beautifully crafted. It feels quite short, but it still is worth experiencing.

    If you've played FIFA 14, there might not be a reason to get this game too, but if you haven't played the series in a while, it is good opportunity. Also, if you're looking for a World Cup game, you won't find anything better or more complete.

    This is a fresh experience in the free-to-play scene, even though we need to wait and see whether Ubisoft offers enough support to make our time feel well spent on it.

    Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is an outstanding game, as is its PS4 version. It feels like a proper game of the series with enough content to justify its subscription model.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This game has not received too much attention, but the mix of ideas put into it does deserve it. We recommend to at least try it, since it has a demo available.
    • 71 Metascore

    This is not the huge mess some people claim nor the masterpiece some others say. It's a good MMORPG with some issues that you can enjoy if you can forgive them.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The LEGO experience is getting way too similar across the many episodes of the franchise, even though this time the universe it borrows from is reason enough to enjoy it. Fans of The Hobbit should not miss this game.

    After a few years, the PSP sequel finally arrives to the West, with good options to expand the original experience. Definitely a great option for those looking for a RPG-ish, different experience.

    Motocross fans cannot miss this game, and those looking for two-wheel action should take it into account. A great simulator you can make as demanding as you want.

    Obviously, it doesn't match the technical standards of the "bigger" versions, but it does deliver the Titanfall experience.

    Telltale proves that they know how to write a story, and we just cannot wait to see how it unfolds in the next episode.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Fans of the genre won't be disappointed, since they will find a pretty solid experience, full of action. However, there are no relevant additions for those who played the original version.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    It works, and offers an engaging experience, even though there are no particular reasons to choose the PS4 version over any other you might have already played.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It does prove that Kinect has evolved, even though the essence of the experience remains untouched. It's fun and active, looks really good and it can be very challenging playing with friends. However, there are some features present in the previous episodes we miss in this one, and having long loading times and the very same intro every time we play a sport ends up becoming quite tedious.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    This game offers a very solid gameplay, addictive for the very beginning, and deep for those looking for a mobile challenge.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's yet another strategy game, and even if it feels sometimes a bit chaotic, it does deserve your attention if you're a fan of the series.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    It feels quite far from the main episodes, but if you looking for a metroidvania game, with good exploring sections and puzzles, this is an interesting choice.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We feel it has been developed as a game to spend some time with once in a while, and as such, it works pretty well. We recommend you to give it a try, since you might like what it has to offer.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    No matter if you want a great story or a complex puzzle game, Ether One won't disappoint you. A great experience that, even though it has some issues, is worth experiencing.

    Fez
    We still feel like this is one of the best games of the current generation of consoles, and having it available on more platforms is just a great reason to replay it. If you like platform games and exploring maps, this is a game you cannot miss.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you like 2D action and platforming games, and if you have friends to play with, this is a must have. It is not perfect, but we like its retro feeling and the content and options it adds to make it work nowadays.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Interesting, fun and fresh, it's not the ultimate action game, but definitely a good choice.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Blizzard manages to turn Diablo III into the Diablo II sequel everybody wanted. If you ever enjoyed any of the episode of the series, you can spend hundreds of hours with Reaper of Souls.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The added content is not a reason to repurchase this game if you've already played it, but if you don't, it's a great opportunity to do so.

    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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    We appreciate the attempt of doing something original, but not all gameplay mechanics are well implemented, creating an experience that some times becomes way too confusing. Still, if you like the idea behind and you understand what pieces don't fit as they should, it deserves a try.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It knows how to evolve the series without losing it essence. Also, the new online features are really welcome, expanding the life of the title.

    Just by changing the perspective, Hi-Rez Studios managed to offer a new feeling in the MOBA scene, with an engaging and deep experience that is able to face any of the big names in the competition.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    A great choice if you're looking for a challenge, although, be warned, since it will definitely test your patience. If you know what you're going to face, then you won't regret it.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    There are some aspects that we would have liked to see polished, but still, Cloudbuilt is a very original, challenging and addictive experience, that everyone who enjoyed classic platformers should, at least, try.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    We would have liked to have seen a further evolution of the gameplay or the narrative, but still, inFamous: Second Son is much more than just outstanding visuals and becomes a very enjoyable experience and an example of what next-gen consoles can offer.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    It's long, has a great narrative and combines the gameplay both series in an outstanding way. If you just like one of them you'll "only" enjoy half of the experience, but if you like both, it's a game you cannot miss.
    • 43 Metascore

    If you're expecting a Ninja Gaiden experience, you're not going to find it here. If you just want a crazy action game, you will definitely have some fun with it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    If you've already played it, there's no reason to replay it on PS4 or PS Vita. If you don't, the digging and crafting mechanics of this game will give you an addictive surprise worth considering.

    • 80 Critic Score
    The new ideas Kojima and his team have introduced are definitely steps in the right direction, making the game feel fresh and true to the series' soul. The biggest issue is that ends up feeling way too short, so many users will feel disappointed about it. Despite this, it's a great prologue for the final experience, and we can't wait to play the whole story.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This is a quite weak experience, and needs to be polished and improved if it wants to become an option among so many rivals.

    Challenging, addictive and rewarding, this is a great choice for those looking for a game to test his skills.

    This game is aimed at young Pokémon fans. If you're older, there are better puzzles on 3DS.

    Accessible, addictive and fun, Blizzard brings us a very interesting free-to-play, very well balanced game, that everyone interested in the Warcraft universe should try.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    A surprisingly addictive experience, with loads of fun to offer as long as we have friends to bring home and play with, since it's multiplayer-focused and there's no online modes.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The game is very simple, but it's worth every penny. It is definitely a good choice for those looking for a puzzle game reasonably priced.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    It tries to bring back everything that made the original game a masterpiece, but fails to do so. There are some good ideas, but the implementation is poor, just like the level design and difficulty. It does manage to entertain, but there are better options on 3DS.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Even though it's been a little while since it appeared on other platforms, it works really well on 3DS, and becomes a concept that does fit as a portable experience.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is a great example of what NIS can do focusing a little bit more on action. It is, indeed, a good game, even though we think there's some aspect that need polishing or further development.

    • 93 Critic Score
    Dark Souls is back, with an epic adventure that delivers what fans expect from it. Maybe it's not as shocking as the previous one, but it's more solid, and still is a great game that proves the current generation of consoles is very alive.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is a very interesting game, since it takes many ideas from its genre, but makes them addictive and accessible.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Not every HD edition deserves a place in our room, but this one does. The story of Tidus and his fellows is still remembered among it fans, and this is a great opportunity to live it or experience it again.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    We feel like this is next-gen gameplay. Titanfall proves that there's still room for innovation in shooting games, and we've had a blast playing it. It could have had next-gen visuals, though, and then it would have been the bomb.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Even though most of its players won't try to get deeper into it, those who dare will find a very interesting fighting game, unique and addictive where we can only ask for real-time multiplayer modes.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game does not work as good as we think the dev team planned, but it offers some interesting ideas and does entertain. We recommend trying the demo first, since it might be a choice worth considering.
    • 23 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    This game cannot live up to the bar set by its protagonist, but still, if you're really willing to give it a try, it's more "playable" than you might expect.

    A great endless runner, very addictive and unique, especially recommended for fans of this particular genre.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    We still miss feeling that our actions do impact the plot, but this episode is full of great moments worth experiencing. So far, we can only wait for the third episode and hope that Telltale keeps bringing such an outstanding narrative.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The additions might look quite irrelevant, but before letting it go, think twice. This game is still as fun as it was on PS3, and the Broadcast+ feature, allowing our streaming watchers to modify our games, is an amazing option you must try.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    We've never had so much fun with a video game before. If you like RPGs and/or the TV show –especially the latter– this is a game you cannot miss. This is just the best adaptation from a TV series to a video game ever made.

    With an improved combat system, Atelier comes back with a game that will appeal at a wider audience, as well as classic fans of the series.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This game is aimed at a very specific audience, but if you're ok with loads of fun and just a correct technical side, then it does deserve a try.
    • 62 Metascore

    Behind its protagonists' breasts, there's a game that offers fast and crazy action, and that will deliver entertainment and fun at its core.

    We miss some "bigger" games, like Pac-Man World or Pac-Man World Rally, but fans of this character will find a good compilation here.

    This is the version PC users should have played the first time. Controls might feel a bit outdated, but the experience is still as good as it was originally on GameCube.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Even though we could have seen a better adaptation to PS3, the quality of the games, the extras and the amount of content they have to offer make it a collection worth considering.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The idea behind it –a dark Bomberman– was ok, but the lack of tutorials and the confusing design makes it hard to play and enjoy.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Until the multiplayer mode arrives, this game feels like a visual modification of some other similar apps. It holds several hours of fun, but so far that's pretty much it.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The plot failed to surprise, but the strategy and RPG mix do deliver, so fans these genres will have a good time playing it.
    • 63 Metascore

    It is aimed to a very specific audience, but those who understand its concept will find something fresh and engaging, with a particular sense of humor that will definitely make us laugh.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The game offers that experience you can expect from good shooters, but without that complexity. The thing is it is very limited, and the contents and modes are not enough to support its ideas.

    We were expecting much more from this final episode of the trilogy. A game that mixes excellence and fun with frustration and boredom, and that closes the story in a quite disappointing way.

    Following in the steps of Tomb Raider and Deus Ex, an old franchise returns fresh, accessible to a wider audience, but still remains true to its origins.

    Having so many rivals on the App Store, Square Enix should have tried a little harder. There are many other options better than this repetitive and kind of boring experience.
    • 67 Metascore

    The concept is OK, but difficulty and the progression system are not properly developed and worsen what could have been a much better Adventure Time experience.
    • 70 Metascore

    Even thought it's technically outstanding, this game becomes something mediocre because of its abusive free-to-play system.

    As a game addressed to kids, it is obviously a great choice. However, those looking for a challenging platformer or a deeper experience won't find it here.

    This episode of the Ys series is a great example of what a RPG game is supposed to be. It offers the depth some users look for, and also the accessibility some others do. A great addition to the PS Vita's catalogue.

    It does not have the soul of a Final Fantasy game, but still we had lots of fun playing it. If you take it as a spin-off, then you'll find a very enjoyable game, especially for Lightning fans.

    Even though the similitude with Monster Hunter is undeniable, this is not a bad thing at all. PS Vita owners can now enjoy a hunting game very solid and fun, quite outstanding taking into account it's Omega Force's first try with this genre.

    Addressed to those who miss old-school, Micro Machine-ish racing games, Little Racers Street is a title that gets better as we progress, even though it fails to offer an attractive design or a local multiplayer mode.

    Forget about fast-paced shooters and frenetic action. This one relies on a team-based mechanic, where every move should be planned. There's room for improvement when it comes to the visuals and the bullet-detection system, but still it is a very recommended choice.
