    This is an interesting game, especially in the single-player mode, but it has some problems which should be solved in future revisions.

    Andromeda still offers a great sense of exploration and discovery, a good adventure and plenty of content, but it's just a shadow of what the series was. The plot, the narrative, the tech... many aspects are not at the level you would expect, but if you are a big fan of the series, you'll still enjoy it.

    The Sinking City is a very interesting game, with some great ideas but also some shortcomings. If you’re looking for a slow-paced, investigation-based game, make sure to check this out.

    Supermassive Games expands the formula with online co-op, a grander scale, and striking visuals that make the eerie world more spectacular but less subtle, losing some of its original tension and precision in exchange for spectacle; despite its weaker controls and overly helpful AI, it remains an atmospheric and engaging experience that fans and newcomers alike will enjoy, even if its abrupt ending leaves a bittersweet taste.

    Morsels delivers an elegant 80s aesthetic and a magnificent soundtrack, creating an entertaining experience. However, its core mechanics lack depth and fresh ideas, hindering its ambition within the roguelike genre. A poorly integrated attack meter and modest duration prevent it from leaving a lasting impression, despite its visual originality.

    Contracts is a good option for hardcore fans of the series, but its flaws make it harder to recommend to a wider audience. It is expected, though, that upcoming patches will make it a much more appealing experience.

    Those who have been longing for years for a Parasite Eve sequel could get slightly dissapointed by The 3rd Birthday, which continues the story, but not the gameplay, becoming a more linear and repetitive game, focused almost only on combat. But it is a great action game, with lots of customization options and a good control scheme.

    No Man's Sky is a very interesting concept, and it definitely works until it starts getting repetitive. The ground it is built upon is amazing, but so far there are many questions that remain unanswered, so make sure you understand what the game has to offer before buying it.

    Fracked is one of those games meant to make you feel like an action movie hero in VR. It could have done with a bigger variety of situations, but it’s a great choice nonetheless.

    Moving away from the original concept, this sequel delivers an experience that knows how to make the most of VR design, and wraps it in an emotional story that can be enjoyed even if you didn’t play the original title.

    Blades of Fire left us with a bittersweet taste in our mouths. It's a title that does many things right and has some interesting ideas, but it also stumbles with each of its successes. We loved its weapon forging system and it's by far the best part of the game. The combat system can be a bit clunky, but it works well, is challenging and well-designed, and the scenarios are full of secrets that encourage exploration. However, its story and characters aren't engaging in the slightest, there are certain situations that can be somewhat frustrating for the wrong reasons, the backtracking isn't very well balanced, and there are too many moments that make us go around in circles that don't add anything. All in all, if you're looking for a demanding action-adventure with its own ideas and you don't think its flaws will dampen your enjoyment too much, here you'll find an entertaining and very complete production that might be worth checking out.

    As previous episodes, a simple and accesible adventure, a bit more complex than the previous ones, with joyful humor and a fun story. Although we think it could be even better.

    Squishier is a great surprise for PSVR owners. We’ve really enjoyed its concept, although some times the PS Move controllers hinder a little bit the experience. If you’re looking for an original, skill-based puzzle for your PSVR, give this one a try.

    The third episode of TWD: Michonne has many ups and downs, but the worst part of it is a plot not as interesting as we expected. Unless you want to know more about Michonne, this series has very little for the player.

    Ultimately this is a good game brought to us by Namco Bandai, one of the largest Japanese companies, which is making the most of the Wii hardware, and not just for conventional titles.

    It brings all together comics, humor, managing and simulation, packed under an attractive look and gameplay. It's a free-to-play title, but a very interesting and addictive one.

    Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is, broadly speaking, a next-gen port of the version we enjoyed more than a decade ago. Its logical graphical improvement (4K, 60 FPS) offers some contrasts and generally leaves behind the feeling that it could have offered something more; it keeps its sense of humor and roguelike approach intact, but it doesn't offer any great innovations beyond a "Plus" game mode. Although we regret that the original vision of Suda51 was not offered, the truth is that this is the best opportunity to enjoy the peculiar adventure of García Hotspur and Johnson, characterized by its B-series touch and its constant cinematic nods. If you've never tried it, this is your chance. If you did before, it's never a bad time to enjoy this duo again and their journey to the depths of the Underworld.

    If you like anime and videogames you shouldn't lose this game, as it can be considered an ultimate experience that blendes perfectly both worlds, and manages to engage the players until the very end. The problem is that the game is a bit short, around six hours, and is not a very replayable one. Although the blend of action and cinematics is perfect, those players who are just looking for an action game might be a bit disappointed for the amount of non-playable time.

    Those looking for a reboot of Ridge Racer or for something which may resemble the iconic Namco Bandai series will become dissapointed, but anyway Unbounded is a good racing game, which control you may love or hate, a bit limited in single player content but with a great potential for used-created content in the multiplayer mode.

    Although too linear and unrelated with the previous Red Faction: Guerrilla Games, it is a fun, intense and frantic game which is sometimes espectacular, with a great physics engine that allows dynamical destruction of the environments, although the game not always makes the most of it.

    ARK is a good survival game with a great setting. It's one of those titles where you can spend hours trying to survive, while building a house and taming a dinosaur, and even though it still feels a little bit like in early access, if you like the concept you'll probably enjoy it.

    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.

    While the level design left us as cold as the snowy mountains that Aloy must explore, the combat surprised us a lot , forcing us to pay attention to all the chaotic action happening on screen and to take advantage of all our tools. Horizon fans who connect with LEGO humor will have a great time with Guerrilla and Studio Gobo's co-production; and those looking for an accessible action-adventure that can also be played co-op will be able to laugh at an adaptation that is not just for fans , and will probably end up enamored of the universe of Aloy and company.

    Madfinger surprised us with Shadowrun, a really ambitious game for iOS, and has achieved that again with Dead Trigger, at least in part.

    Just Cause 4 is fun, wild and crazy, and fans of the series will love it, but it can get repetitive faster than it should because of a very poor mission design and a progression system that makes it feel even more repetitive.

    This game will satisfy those eager for aerial simulation, but will result in a little approachable game for the rest of players, if not just plain boring.

    A.I.L.A. delivers a unique psychological horror experience, leveraging a brilliant premise and varied, unsettling scenarios to craft memorable scares.
