    It expands itself from a very solid base, and adds the content fans needed to feel comfortable and keep enjoy the series.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As a standalone game, it just works. But we have to take into account that this is some kind of add-on for a PS4 game, and seeing it this way, we'll find an interesting app to help us unlock some contents on the console title.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Apart from the visual step forward, the game feels like we're playing a slightly upgraded version of the Wii one, with a forgotten GamePad that should have been the reason to buy this one.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Tiny Tower meets Star Wars. Addictive and fun as the aforementioned game, George Luca's universe becomes a great reason to jump back into this title.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    It feels like an expansion rather than a sequel. We were expecting a bigger evolution, but still, if you enjoyed the first episode you'll enjoy this one.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    A logical evolution from the original game, fast, beautiful and addictive, that becomes the best 2D platformer available on iOS.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It feels limited some times, something we can understand taking into account that it comes from a 3DS version. However, if you’re a fan of the subseries created by MercurySteam and if you haven’t played before, it’s a game you should play.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    This is one of the most original shooters on iOS. Looks good and feels better, and even if the free-to-play model puts you off, it deserves a try.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Still fun, but no longer fresh. COD continues to walk its path as a very solid action game focused on multiplayer, but we feel it's time for a change. Of course, sales will tell Activision whether it's time for that change or not.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Instead of feeling exhausted, this episode brings some of the best moments of the series. Another outstanding adventure of the Professor that every fan of puzzles should try.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    It feels like some kind of alpha still in development. Some of you might be able to ses a bright side of this game, but at the moment it's really hard to recommend.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is something focused on the audience that wants to try something different. It's unique, and that means not everyone will like it. If you like what you see, probably it deserves a try.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    One of the best endless runners we've seen on the App Store. It may end up feeling repetitive like any other game of the genre, but if you like this kind of games, it's very, very recommended.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    It’s been a tough start, but this is the way to go. If they keep polishing the experience and adding content, Los Santos is going to be our home for a long time.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    PC gamers have now the opportunity to try a great fighting experience, no matter if they are fans of manga/anime or not. The visual upgrade on PC is, indeed, welcome, and the extra contents are appreciated as well.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Fresh, agile and fun, this game manages to offer action, platforms and puzzles as good as the original episode, even though if you've already played it on 3DS, there's no reasons to buy this one.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    We think Milestone should have put more effort into this game, since there are little additions compared to the previous edition. The foundations are great, and the game is pretty good indeed, but there's still a long way to go.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This time we've got a very solid experience that is meant not only for its usual audience, but also for those who enjoy games based on collecting creating, sharing and fighting among them.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's a simple and fun game, without any kind of complications. Sometimes it feels a little bit rushed, but it should satisfy the audience it is aimed at.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    If you like what lies beyond every match, Football Manager 2014 is the only option you should consider.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Bigger and better, Battlefield 4 evolves what we saw in Battlefield 3. An experience any fan of the series should try.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Year after year, it's getting hard for Ubisoft to create something worth our time and money, but this episode is one of the best we've played. No matter if you can't wait to get your hands on your game, of if you're tired of the series, you should give this one a try.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's as good as last year's episode, but the 30 years of Wrestlemania mode is an addition that every fan will enjoy. Also, if you're not a fan of this show, having so many legends available might be a good reason to give it a try.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This is just another shooter, that won't give you anything you haven't seen before. Yes, it's free and it does have some entertainment, but there are plenty of better options out there.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you like this kind of games, especially those harder than the average puzzle/platformer, it well deserves a try. However, it fails to show any outstanding feature.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It continues to develop what we've seen in the previous episodes. It's a very solid game with a very solid story, that offers another great adventure for The Dark Knight fans.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Any fan of the series should be considering buying this game, as long as they don't mind the lack of physical version or not being translated into any other language but English. There's little innovation here, but it's addictive, fun and satisfying.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There are some very good ideas that don't work as well as they should, but still the whole experience is very enjoyable. If you get a second player and go for the Iron Man mode, then you've got a tough but fun challenge ahead.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    If you can get over the Japanese-focused presentation or if you're a fan of Hatsune Miku, you'll find a music game that does entertain, and, on the top of that, is accessible and fun.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    As a game, we have to admit that it works, even though it feels somehow old-fashioned when compared to some of its competitors. It does have some fun to offer, but the Dark Knight deserves better.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even though there's nothing original here, the game as such works, and offers an enjoyable experience. We miss some coop mode, but still it's not a bad choice if you like "the Rabbids experience".
    • 62 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Easy, accessible, and very fun. Although short on content, it offers a very addictive experience, that no matter if you like skydiving or not, deserves a try.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's like a hipster game. It manages to make you think about narrative in video games, and maybe something else. Sometimes fun, sometimes clever, but always unique. One of those games you either love or hate.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The series evolves in the right direction, enhancing the possibilities and creating a coherent gameplay, where the protagonists –both the physical and the virtual ones– are more important than ever.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It was a great game two years ago and it still is. Every addition is an improvement, and if you missed it the first time, it's the best opportunity to give it a try.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    After some good portable experiences, Sonic returns with a very weak game, with many design-related issues, and offering a game that only those Sonic fans willing to forgive all its problems will enjoy.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Many design flaws, confusing at some points, an unbalanced difficulty… certainly, not the game that Sonic deserves. If you're a huge fan of the hedgehog you will enjoy it, but after Colors and Generations, we were expecting something better.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    This is one of the best graphic adventures we've played in the last few years, at least with classic gameplay mechanics. Great story, great characters, great puzzles… and one of the best closures for a trilogy we've seen in a while.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Telltale keeps its promise, and brings us a great story in a great universe. If you liked The Walking Dead, or are interested in The Wolf Among Us, go ahead and buy it.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A great choice for those looking an arcade game based on this championship. Difficult, fast and addictive, F1 Challenge does work as a mobile game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    NIS does what NIS does better: a great mix of strategy and RPG. This is not their best game, but it still is a solid adventure you should try if you are interested in what it has to offer.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Even though there are no huge steps forward from the previous episode, it manages to bring us everything we expected and some nice additions like the online multiplayer. It has everything you need to keep a party going.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    This is one of those games you really need to try to find out how much fun you can have with it. No matter if you're a fan of the series or if you've never tried one, it's a game that has a lot to offer.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Even though the 'freemium' model might not please everyone, it does work and let the player choose whether he wants some extra modes or not. When it comes to gameplay, it's as good as always, and guarantees many hours of fun.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The visuals are somehow weak, but pretty much everything else is really, really strong. And that's what matters. If you've ever played Worms and liked it, you've got no excuse not to try this one.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Sometimes it feels repetitive, but the visuals and the gameplay work pretty well, making it a choice worth considering.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    A new episode meant for fans of the series that brings some steps forward for the multiplayer, and some steps back for the campaign. It is not the revolution the gameplay needs, but still holds lots of hours of fun.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This graphical adventure works pretty much in every aspect aspect… as long as you speak German or English. If you are looking for classic gameplay mechanics and a good story, this may be your choice.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is just one of those games meant to be fun and entertaining, without anything too fancy or special. If you like action games, this one may deserve your time.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Even though it struggles sometimes to keep the story flowing, it's a great option for those looking for graphic adventures and, above all, a promising first title for its developer, KickBack.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This could be your favorite game in the last ten years. Or rightly the opposite. It does have personality, but there's no way we can tell you how it is or how you're going to feel when you play it, so the only way to find out is giving it a try it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    When you're evolving a classic, it's hard to find the right way to do it, but Pac-Man got it this time. It's the same old experience, but dynamic and connected to make it work in the 21st century.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The most important thing is that it manages to bring some of the feelings of the movie, an important achievement for a mobile game. If you like the theme, it probably deserves a try.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Even though the idea is all right, there are many weaknesses that ruin the gameplay experience, like the AI or the simplicity of the combat.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Another gem of its genre, that engages us like only a few titles can. Just a little recommendation: go for a second play-through when you finish it. There's a nice surprise waiting for you.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Pokémon comes back with another adventure, as fun and addictive as always, with a great visual evolution that suits it really well. It's yet another must-have on 3DS.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Pokémon comes back with another adventure, as fun and addictive as always, with a great visual evolution that suits it really well. It's yet another must-have on 3DS.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's been a while since its original release, so there are some gameplay mechanics that feel a little bit old fashioned. Still, the story will make us forget this little issues and create a very enjoyable experience.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    From the very first video, you already knew whether Rain was for you or not. It's short and simple. Actually, it's always trying to tell you what to do next, preventing you from even attempting to think how to solve a situation, which is something hard to understand and annoying. But if you can forgive this, you'll live an experience that no other game can give you.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It does evolve little from the playable foundations of the previous episode, but the classic content is indeed a reason big enough to give it a try this year, especially if you like the historic side of the F1 Championship.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The changes Nintendo has made have been little, but important enough to enhance a great experience. Wind Waker still is a wonderful game, and this is the best opportunity to enjoy once again one of the most original adventures of Link.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    There are just a few additions to the original NDS game, so it's aimed at those who missed it the first time. Still, it brings more Inazuma Eleven to its fans, who should be waiting for its proper return to 3DS.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    There are just a few additions to the original NDS game, so it's aimed at those who missed it the first time. Still, it brings more Inazuma Eleven to its fans, who should be waiting for its proper return to 3DS.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The new additions won't show up after a few hours, and they are not groundbreaking, but it has, indeed, evolved in the right direction. Another great game that should be a priority for fans of the genre.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    It's as strong as always, but you can feel this generation is coming to an end, and its really hard to make a significant evolution. In any case, it perfect for any basketball fan.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    It works pretty much in every aspect, except for the progression system. In any case, we rather stick to the pros than the cons, and hope for a sequel to get it fully right.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    This is the best version so far, but also the less innovative. It feels like EA Sports is absolutely focused on next gen consoles, so there are few additions here. However, it is as fun as always, and the best football simulator this year for current consoles.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    If you enjoyed the first episode, this one will give you just exactly what you wanted. More and better Angry Birds Star Wars.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is simply the best work Vanillaware so far. We absolutely recommend it for those looking for 2D action games, RPG adventures or multiplayer-focused experiences. This time there's more than beautiful graphics. It is a solid and fun experience you should try.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    This is a free-to-play game fun, balanced, and that let's you play even if you don't pay, something many other games have forgotten. We feel there's a multiplayer mode missing, but still deserves a try.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The combat system works pretty well, but we have to deal with a quite linear experience. On the top of that is quite hard, so if you are ok with being linear and you are looking for a challenge, it definitely deserves a try.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The original game worked, so we don't know why Disney has moved to the free-to-play model. Even worse, it's a very, very restrictive model, which makes the game hardly enjoyable without spending a certain amount of money.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The evolution is there, but we really feel like Konami could have used a couple of months to polish the product. Still, we believe this is the way for PES to be back, and we hope next generation versions will be what we expect from such a franchise. But, please, stop changing things compulsively.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you like RPGs and you haven't tried the original, you can give this a try. There's no deep story, but there is a game mechanic that's addictive and fits pretty well on a handheld.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Even though it is a step forward from the previous episode, there are still some AI-related issues that need to be fixed. Apart from that, the lack of campaign mode –so far, it'll be added as free DLCs later– makes it a platform where, at the moment, we can only enjoy the community creations.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's simple and quite repetitive, but the story and how much fun it has to give us makes it worth our time if we're looking for a game based on smashing buttons.
    • 97 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    It's the best and the biggest sandbox ever made. The story and how it's told, the deep world around us where there's always something happening, and the amount of content and things to do, make it the perfect closure for this generation.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This new episode lives up to the bar set by the previous one, and becomes and must-have for fans of the genre.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It is as fun as simple, but it manages to have us playing for hours trying to beat our score. On the top of that, its visuals are a great addition to the offer.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is a game for those who enjoy what a game used to be: a challenge. If that's not what you're looking for, even the "casual mode" could be too much for you.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This is another Kinect game that doesn't really make the most of the camera. Short and sometimes fun, it could be a great game for kids.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you liked Game Dev Story, you're probably going to like this one. It's not a huge evolution from that game, but still adds it's own vision and depth to the concept.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    This time it makes it right, and shows love to the franchise, even though some players might not like the online experience. So far, they've done a great job bringing back Eorzea, and we really hope they continue to fight to keep it alive.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Now it's a narrative-driven game we still recommend, even though there's little to be found of what made the original Amnesia such an outstanding survival horror. In fact, we don't really know if it should have been called Amnesia.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ten years have taken its toll on Kingdom Hearts, but the foundations have aged well. If you can't wait for Kingdom Hearts III, this can be a great way of reliving the origins of the franchise.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It is a step in a different, more strategic direction of the franchise, that works quite well and may catch not only the regular player, but also the casual one.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It feels next-gen not because of the graphics, but because of the experience. In a few years we'll see many more games like this, and we'll have to look back at it to see where it started.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It is somehow simple, but very addictive and fun. It definitely deserves our time if you're looking for something like this.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is one of those title hardcore gamers have been asking for. It's like those old school games you played for ages until you got better, so, if this is the challenge you're looking for, go for it.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a great visual upgrade that remains the playable foundations almost untouched, but feels quite easy and short. However, if you enjoyed the original, it should feel like a great experience.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    If you've ever played and enjoyed a 2D platform game, you cannot miss this one. Another title that proves that this genre, long forgotten, is back.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    This is a great tower defense game, with plenty of references to old vampire movies and, about all, with many hours of fun.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The foundations are solid, and we have, and can expect, a great variety of gameplay based on extremely popular franchises. It's not perfect, but we're looking forward to what it's yet to come.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fast, effective and solid. This is a game that knows how to attract players, and how to give them many hours of fun.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a great survival horror game, following the steps of previous "hide and survive" games where we cannot attack creatures. We think there's enough talent behind this game to try something different, but still they've created a very scary adventure that we think is worth enjoying.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's an outstanding shooter that offers a solid experience beyond the incredible graphics it shows on Vita. With this title, Guerrilla Games has proven that they are not "mercenaries".
    • 75 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    If you have the original, you should think twice about getting this one. However, if you don't it's a great and a very complete fighting game.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Even though it has some issues, it tries to bring back the soul of the arcade, and manages to offer a game full of action that those who play it with friends are definitely going to enjoy.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A simple and straightforward experience that holds lots of fun for those who want to have a break from more complex titles.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's one of the most solid and complete strategy games we've seen in a long while. Definitely, one of those games fans of the genre don't want to miss.
