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

    The game every Naruto fan should try, with some improvements and extra content to make it the definite or GOTY edition that many of them are waiting for.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    It offers a lot for too little, with an engaging gameplay and an addictive mechanic. It's ideal for every device, anywhere, anytime.

    Daedalic manages to offer a deep experience, with many customization options and possibilities, and rich enough to belong to The Dark Eye universe.

    The visual upgrade might not be a reason to buy this again, but if you haven't played yet, you'll find an outstanding game that will please adventure fans.

    A bunch of good ideas not well implemented leaves us with a game that is a step backwards in the series, and that won't offer what Dragon Ball fans deserve.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Beyond its simplicity, there's a lot of hard work that manages to offer a fun and addictive experience, specially for those who have someone to play with. If for you visuals are not the most important part of a game, this one definitely deserves a try.

    It's probably the best karting game on iOS devices. There's a in-app purchases system that we're not too fond of, but the overall experience is fun, addictive and solid.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A great choice for those looking for a classic RPG experience. It needs some extra polish, but at the end of the day is a satisfying experience.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The concept is very fun and works well, and the game is easy to get into and addictive. There are many other options out there, but we think this one deserves a try.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A great, addictive arcade that those looking for a challenge, and particularly those fond of skateboarding, will love. We think it needs a level editor, but so far there's a lot of content to keep us going.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's one of the best game of the series, ideal for any mobile/touch device, that plays well and holds many hours of fun.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Console users have no reason to get this PC version, since its improvements are just a few visual settings. Still, it's a great hack & slash for those who missed it on PS3 or Xbox 360.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The main reason to get this title is its online mode. If you're not interested in facing new players via Nintendo Network, its lack of content should lead to consideration of other options.

    Halfbrick gives us another solid and addictive experience that is worth our time. Apart from its foundations, we can expect many updates from the studio, so we've got plenty of months ahead to enjoy this frenetic experience.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you've already played it there are not too many reasons to get it again. If not, you'll find a game with some errors that cannot hide its portable origins, but still enjoyable if you're looking for more Assassin's Creed.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although with certain aspects that should be improved –the lack of scoreboards, for example– it's a really addictive concept that manages to turn hours into minutes.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A beautiful and unforgettable experience, very well written, with a challenging combat system, and where every action has its consequences. A game that RPG fans shouldn't miss.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you're going to play with some friends, it can be moderately fun. If you're going to play alone, then there are many other options out there to choose from.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is one of the games where very different ideas work really well together. A very interesting experience for those who want to play racing games in a different way.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Apart from the exclusive designs created for the game, fans of the movie will not find anything particularly relevant in this title focused on in-app purchases.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The concept is simple, but it works well enough to keep us playing for many hours. The in-app purchases are avoidable, and with dedication we can progress without worrying too much about them.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    There are some aspects of the game worth praising, but in general terms, the lack of content creates a dull experience that only a major update could improve.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Very unique and, above all, very addictive. The concept of surviving becomes fun and engaging, and makes the players think and plan their next move if they want to see another day.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It takes many elements from many different games, but make them work in a very addictive way. Solid and very replayable, it's an option that should be taken into account.

    As a game aimed at young players and Harry Potter fans, there's several moments worth highlighting, even though the rest of PS3 users might not find it particularly attractive.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A tribute to beat'em up classics with a really good control scheme and loads of content to unlock. There are some modes missing, but so far is worth a try.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Even thought we think it should have been improved visually, the experience is deep and addictive, with many hours of fun ahead if you want to discover all its secrets.

    • 70 Critic Score
    This time, we need to manage our Japanese village and its role in a war. It's easier and more accessible than the average app of its kind, which should help it to get a wider audience.

    The formula keeps evolving, and Wii Fit U offers another fun step to help us get in shape.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It misses an extra push to become a great playable tribute, but still is a fun way of (re)discover these NES classics.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    There's some part of the original concept missing because of the control changes, but it doesn't feel worse, just different. One way or another, the lack of games like this one for PS4 makes it an interesting choice.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Zoo Tycoon is too hard for kids and too simple for adults, specially if they're looking for a game to become zoo managers. So we guess that it's meant for parents who want to play with their kids. If you're one of those, then it's a great choice.

    The great pinball simulator we already know arrives on PS4 letting us download all the tables we've already purchased on PS3 and PS Vita versions. There's no new additions, but the experience is as good and addictive as it is on other platforms.

    • 80 Critic Score
    The well-known birds also know how to drive karts. Lots of fun and beautiful graphics –even though with a free-to-play based model– are the companions of a solid playable experience that keeps expanding its supremacy.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's been a while since it was first released, but, except for some issues with the control scheme, it's still a very enjoyable experience.

    Max: TCoB comes as a surprise, and manages to become a solid experience, an outstanding game in the overpopulated genre of platforming and puzzles.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    With several interesting additions, this is one of the puzzle games you cannot miss, especially if you liked the original.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is a game you cannot miss on iPad, and a very interesting one on iPhone. We have to wait and see how it works on other platforms, but if you own an Apple's tablet, it's a title you should really take into account.

    Once again, Minecraft offers that unique experience that holds endless hours of fun.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is a game made by very talented people, and proves that video games are a great media for humor. If you're looking for an adventure to have fun with, you shouldn't miss this one.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    There are so many titles with so much quality in this genre that you must do something outstanding to stand a chance. The concept and visuals work, though, and playing with friends is an enjoyable experience.

    The Walking Dead is back with the same identity the first season gave us. It sets the solid foundations of this season, and leaves us waiting for what could be another unique experience.

    Although it has its limitations, it becomes a fun way of interacting and learning about dinosaurs, and a recommended title if you already own Wonderbook.

    • 90 Critic Score
    The very same game we played almost ten years ago, now it's been adapted to fit almost every pocket. This version comes with visual upgrades and adapted touch controls, and becomes an unmissable opportunity for those wanting to go back to San Andreas.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    PSVita proves once again that it is a perfect hardware for almost every kind of game. The mix of physical and touch controls help Terraria to feel even better, since the game itself still holds all its fun and addictivity.

    Even though facing everyday problems in the life of a writer might seem boring, The Novelist is an engaging and unique experience, that offers something different and immersive for the players.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    If you've got some friends to battle with this games holds many hours of fun. With better controls and more variety in its contents the experience would have been better, but still it delivers its promise of intense and fast action.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Rocksmith transforms the boring process of learning how to play guitar in a fun, engaging and useful game. If you already know how to play guitar, you can always polish your technique and hear new songs.

    • 60 Critic Score
    The business model and the online mode are the main new features and, while paying just for the games you're going to play seems fair, the online experience has not been smooth for us.

    FX Interactive has heard all the feedback and brings us a more polished product that feels much better than the previous episode. There's still room for improvement, but so far, our voice has been heard.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The idea was making something different, and they have indeed made so. It's one of those games that deserves a try, even though the concept should have been polished to avoid repetitiveness.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is a game where every aspect shows that there's a lot of effort put into it. Harder than the average title, its mix of platforming and puzzles sets a solid foundation for a beautiful experience.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    The idea is good, but the implementation is not. At the moment, the game abuses the free-to-play model, so we can only hope for a future update of its gameplay and in-app purchases system.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Most of its pieces fit tight together, but lasting just one hour and being quite easy, it's not the best option for graphic adventures fans.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    If you liked the original, this sequel is as addictive as the first game was. If you never tried it and your Xbox One is in need of some arcade games, this is one of the best choices at the moment.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The object editor added in this version is indeed the reason to choose this version over the handheld one. Scribblenauts is still as fun as always, and the expansion of its possibilities will satisfy all those fans looking for more.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Polyphony Digital keeps polishing its series, with a game that becomes more accessible, but still very deep. There's room for improvement, but as far as PS3 goes, Gran Turismo 6 proves that your "old" console still has a lot to give.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Stepping away from the path of the main series, Ubisoft brings a complete mobile game that looks great and plays better, and becomes a good choice no matter if you’re looking for a complementary experience for AC IV or an individual one.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Fans of the series will have a hard time trying to enjoy this game, since it’s a repetitive and tedious experience that will fall behind the outstanding games the handheld is showcasing.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Compared to the console version, the handheld one suffers a sensible visual downgrade, but the experience still is a great one, as fun and complete as it was last year.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The will to innovate crashes against almost every other part of the game. A "rebirth" the X series does not deserve. Hard work usually pays off, but it feels like there's a lack of it in this game.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The lack of EA simulator on next gen consoles cleared the space for this game, somehow closer to Everybody's Golf. For fans of this sport, Powerstar Golf is indeed a very solid experience.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    The concept and setting seem to be in the right direction, even though as a game it is quite hard to understand, and consequently, feels hard to enjoy.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    This is one of those games perfect for having a break when you're tired of complex games. Lots of contents and a great balance between platforming and puzzle will have you playing for hours.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    This is an outstanding game in every aspect, that also adds very interesting ideas. If you've ever enjoyed an Japanese RPG, this is a title you cannot miss.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The game is still as good as it was on PS3, and it's a great opportunity if you want a handheld version.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    We find a bunch of good ideas crashing among them. It's hard to recommend this game, but we really hope they find the way to make it work in a possible sequel.

    More puzzles and a new mode for Picross fans. It's hard to evolve the formula, but it offers more content for those who enjoyed Picross e2.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It feels like a game designed to catch some fans the series. There's some important issues, but if you get some friends to play with, it's a product you can enjoy.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The biggest problem here is that people expected way too much from it. It's not a bad game, and children or parents willing to play with its kind will definitely have some fun with it.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good game that borrows some inspiration from the big platforming games. It has some issues, but there's loads of fun waiting to be had here.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The concept works pretty well, but the level design becomes tedious and boring, with some really slow sequences. If you think you can forgive this, then it deserves a try.

    • 81 Critic Score
    Visually stunning, the debut of the series on PS4 is a fresh experience with some good ideas and a different feeling than the rest of shooters. No matter how you look at it, it's a great choice to see what your new PS4 can do.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you miss those old-school games where beating just a stage was already an achievement, where you'll die if you don't pay all the attention it deserves, this is the experience you're looking for.

    One the best games for PS4 so far. It's available for free with PS Plus, so if you've got a subscription, make sure you spend some quality time with this title.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you enjoyed the original, this is a great way to expand it, even though is an standalone game. However, we would like to see a bigger evolution of the visuals and the gameplay for the next game of the series.

    Self-defined as a "slow game", The Rivers of Alice is a game with a lot of effort put into it, that creates an, indeed, slow but satisfying experience users will enjoy if they are willing to live a tale in the shape of a graphic adventure.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As a fighting game, it's a quite simple experience, but the franchise it is based on will make it a very interesting choice for its fans. However, its simplicity may end up boring us.

    Action games are not known for being particularly long, but they've gone too far this time. You can enjoy the game – a lot, actually –, but before you realize it will be over, and there's not too many reasons for a second play-through. Unless you're looking for a great-looking game on your brand new Xbox One, there are better options out there.

    Need for Speed comes back with another outstanding game, full of content and full of fun. However, there's that "something" missing, something only Criterion can give.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The additions we've seen in this episode are worth the console upgrade, making it more entertaining and fun than ever. The improved control and the evolved AI makes it closer to the driving simulator you may be looking for.

    Tearaway proudly shows off what Vita is capable of, and also proves that LittleBigPlanet was not pure luck. There's a lot of talent in Media Molecule, and we can say they've done it again. Now it's up to you, players, to support a game as good as this one.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    As an HD update, it's pretty good. The new resolution feels great, and even the interface has been updated, which is something worth appreciating. Also, the online addition is something unmissable these days, but there's a problem. A game called SoulCalibur III, better almost in every single aspect, should have been the title Namco Bandai remade. If you're OK with SoulCalibur II, though, please, go ahead.
    • 93 Metascore

    The best Wii U game. The title the console needed at launch. Beautiful, fun, clever... A must-have if you like platformers, and a good reason to consider buying the console if you don't have it already.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.

    Its different aspects are not outstanding, but it does work pretty well as a whole, and made us have a lot of fun with a very 16bit-ish experience.

    • 65 Critic Score
    It needs a long period of adaptation, since the complex controls match the complex gameplay we're facing. Crimson does have its audience, but maybe it's not wide enough for a launch title.

    Bigger and better than ever, Dead Rising remains true to its conception, and becomes one of the most entertaining games of the Xbox One. It is not the most shocking game in the visual field, but it's very, very fun, and that's what matters.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Even though it's far from the great graphic adventures, it's a good game that deserves some attention, and builds a solid foundations for, maybe, next episodes to come.

    A charming adventure, a great experience, that feels somehow constrained by its length and, in some points, its controls. However, we think it's a game you should consider if you like what it has to offer.

    Beautiful, fun, addictive and with a lot of care put into it, Link comes back with another great game for 3DS, closing an almost perfect year for the handheld. It goes back to its classic gameplay, but manages to add some new ideas. Sure, it could have been harder and longer, but we've enjoyed every second we've played.
    • 80 Metascore

    It brings back the classic experience of the series, and except for not being as big as it used to be, this Ratchet & Clank has more strengths than weaknesses. A game any fan of the series should, at least, try.
