    It may be enjoyable for some, but if you are looking for a fighting game, keep searching.

    Degrees of Separation is a very enjoyable puzzle-based game, better played in coop. It’s very original and has a very interesting open structure, but it needs a wider variety of puzzles to prevent it from becoming a little bit repetitive.

    Rumble leaves somehow the classic Worms formula to reinvent itself as a Battle Royale… and it works quite well.

    Lego Rock Band is a good musical game, which perhaps will fall short for players who enjoyed Rock Band 2 or The Beatles: Rock Band.

    A daring proposal that, if succesful, is a step forward for a genre prone to stagnation, as it mixes altogether campaign, multiplayer, cooperative and competitive. With good ideas well executed, it may be liked more or less depending on the player, but deserves an opportunity.

    Even though it doesn't offer the same amount of improvements than previous episodes, it still is the best way of enjoying this game if you haven't played it already.

    Dungeons is a good concept spoiled by broken progression system. It can be enjoyable with friends, but its repetitive level design and lack of enemy diversity will take the fun out of it after a few hours.

    Ultimately, if Secret Files was a surprise for its good presentation and story, this sequel was expected to follow its trail. However this Puritas Cordis shows it is not enough to reuse the same formula over and over.

    The Collider 2 is a great sequel, but its concept ends up being a little bit weak on PC. It feels like a game you would enjoy more on a mobile or a tablet.

    While we wait for Left 4 Dead to come back from the dead, World War Z is not a bad option, but it isn’t as good as that series. If you like killing zombies with friends you’ll have a great time, although the game has a fair amount of shortcomings.

    It's not an instant classic, but it's a very solid and well executed adventure. It's charming and very enjoyable, so if you like this kind of experiences, you won't be disappointed.

    Both as a game and as an adaptation, Dante's Inferno is a noteworthy game, in a genre which is not so crowded and well-attended in the PSP. It does well what it tries to do, without taking too much risk.

    This collection successfully updates the visuals and controls of three classic Tomb Raider titles while preserving their original level design, adding features like quick saves and restored content for The Angel of Darkness. The Last Revelation and Chronicles remain highly enjoyable, but The Angel of Darkness, despite its improvements, still suffers from deep-rooted design issues.

    Survios successfully expands the Alien universe with a tense first-person horror experience featuring a strong lead and excellent atmosphere, though repetitive combat, weak animations, and minor translation issues prevent it from reaching greatness.

    Even with its technical flaws (it's recommended to play on a New 3DS), Hyrule Warriors: Legends delivers a solid, fun and complete experience on Nintendo's handheld.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Unique and very challenging, it's one of those games you should try before you buy. If you're a platforming fan who wants a game to play till you reach perfection, this may well be the one you're looking for.

    A metroidvania adventure with immersive atmosphere and slow-paced gameplay, The Mobius Machine offers solid action in labyrinthine maps with a variety of enemies and platforming challenges. Despite minor flaws like delayed map acquisition and floaty jump controls, its striking graphics and sound design enhance the otherworldly experience, making it a noteworthy title in the genre.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A good adventures with a classic linear design. It blends platforming, action and puzzle with three different characters we should switch to, in order to make the most of its abilities. It is a short game, and not very replayable, but it is fun and addictive.

    It is always risky launching a community-based game, but The Golf Club delivers a very solid experience, accessible, but also deep. There are many good ideas here, and we’re looking forward to see big, ambitious updates, or even a sequel that polishes and improves the overall experience.

    If we analyze its individual aspects, Regalia doesn't do anything particularly outstanding, but as a whole it works pretty well and it's a very enjoyable adventure.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This is a pretty good experience for fans of the series, but it lasts an hour and a half, and it feels pretty expensive. If you just want to be part of this world and you don't mind the adventure doesn't last long, then this is your game.

    Ultimately, Haunt for Xbox Live Arcade is a good game for everyone. It is an approachable game that uses Kinect to create an experience to be enjoyed mostly by children, or at least with children. Its only issues are some problems with motion detection.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Jett Rocket is a short game, but maybe because hours pass very fast, as it is such a great game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The best and most complete musou game of this generation, with a good number of characters, some of them really charming. If you like this genre, this is better than the recent Dynasty Warriors games and has a lot of possibilities.

    The Halo series changes its usual gameplay into a correct title focused on mobile gaming, with little to highlight and little to complain about.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mile 0 is not as strong as the main title, and one of the main reasons is its gameplay. At least, those who want to explore the universe of the series will find more to discover here.

    A rich and colourful game which will get the players to immerse in their cockpits.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you’re looking for a Beneath a Steel Sky, you’ll find a good one here. Although it has some obvious shortcomings, we appreciate the ambition to bring back the series, its puzzle design and its storytelling. Graphic adventure fans won’t be disappointed.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Ultimately, Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre is an interesting title for those players not used to the genre, who are only looking for a temporary action game to fill their Wii game library.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Direct, fun and addictive like few games, but with few new features apart from the graphics and the multiplayer mode.
    • 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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    As good as the other Inazuma Eleven 3 episodes, there are not too many reasons to play this one, unless you missed the aforementioned episodes.

    The same good ol' Duke. Visuals might feel outdated, but the fun remains the same.

    Planetbase is a game with personality, a challenging experience where, if you fail, it's probably because you've done something wrong.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It hasn't changed much compared to the first one, but it has evolved. Although it can be a little bit confusing at times, it is overall a very engaging adventure.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Although it has its flaws, it's a very enjoyable FPS, a tribute to the classics with great gameplay and, also, some questionable decisions.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's always good to be able to play the whole trilogy on the go with all the content for a reasonable price, but it feels like a rushed port. It's still enjoyable, of course, but the graphic quality is lower than expected.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Obey Me has its shortcomings, but it’s quite enjoyable. Although there are better brawlers out there, if you’re looking for one with local coop, this can be a good option.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A Fold Apart knows how to make the most out of its personality, and create a simple but engaging puzzle game. It has some flaws, like a very slow pacing, but, overall, we’ve enjoyed it.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Although enjoyable, Skate City still feels like a phone game, which limits its potential on consoles. However, it can be a good option for those who enjoy a more relaxed take on skateboarding.

    Moncage is a game that can blow your mind, but that ultimately fails to make the most of its impressive concept, relying too much on trial and error.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    This is a narrative adventure short but intense that relies on a well-crafted pixel-art style to deliver a solid story about mental struggle.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Reveil, a first-person horror narrative adventure, draws inspiration from Layers of Fear, offering a simple gameplay experience with shifting environments, some clever puzzles, and a compelling twist in the story. Despite its reliance on familiar horror tropes like stealth sequences, it delivers a visually striking experience with solid production values and atmospheric sound design. While it may not be groundbreaking, it provides an enjoyable and affordable option for fans of narrative-driven horror games, with potential for improvement in future installments.

    One of those strange games that the industry needs sometimes, different from the usual blockbuster. Although its gameplay is not innovative and the game is quite short, it is one of those charming and special games that everyone should at least try.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Third holds up better that you might think, but this version definitely needed a little bit more of optimization and polishing. Technical issues and bugs get in the way too often, damaging the overall experience.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    There's little innovation here, and somehow it feels like a 0,99c mobile game priced at 20$. It isn't a bad game, but Nintendo should have tried harder.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    This entry offers improved progression, a new seated workout mode, and more accessibility options, but the motion detection remains imprecise, and the music selection is limited. It’s a solid fitness complement, though not a replacement for real training.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ultimately, this Spore expansion breaks the tradition of offering more of the same, allowing us to freely design any king of adventure, which is something very valuable.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Although it ends up feeling repetitive, we've really enjoyed playing and exploring the world of Wildlands with friends. If you're looking for a coop game that can give you an arcade or a strategic approach to 3rd person open-world action, make sure you give this a try.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Even though it works, as a RPG it falls short of content, something very important in this kind to games. Still, it's fun and accessible, so if you like the Angry Bird series it deserves a try.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered provides a notable narrative and significantly enhanced gameplay thanks to its improved camera and controls. However, its 'minimum effort' remastering approach results in inconsistent graphical upgrades and persistent bugs, ultimately feeling disappointingly uninspired despite appealing extra content for fans.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Code Vein 2 shines with its highly customizable combat and distinct identity, enhanced by strategic allies and unique time-travel mechanics. We appreciate its less cryptic narrative, although it suffers from common anime tropes. Despite an engaging and flexible gameplay loop, its dungeon design remains inferior to genre leaders, and persistent technical issues detract from the overall experience.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's a great experience, but it offers no challenge and it vanishes too soon. Still, the base is solid, and we're looking forward to seeing what the talent behind this game offers in the future.

    DW8: Empires is a great game, deep, with tons of contents and very fun. It balances action and strategy in a way only a few games can.
    • 70 Metascore

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

    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Although it evolves significantly compared to the previous entry, it's still far away from the big racing series, and it still has room for improvement.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It is indeed better, more complete and entertaining than the first version, but still we think there's something missing. The freemium concept makes its offer more accessible, so if you're a fan of the genre it's worth a try.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    This is a smart mix of endless runner and tower defense, outstanding in almost every single aspect, that deserves all the attention from fans of any of those genres.

    Sacred 2 Fallen Angel in its console version is a good game. It spite of its technical flaws (though nothing dramatic) or the uncomfortable camera, it has its virtues like its durability (more than 100 hours), its active level development and the fun multiplayer matches.

    Mother Russia Bleeds is an old-school beat-em-'up fans of the genre will enjoy. There's nothing really new in the formula, but a few additions make it feel fresh.
    • 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.

    Legends of Wrestlemania sustains itself mostly on nostalgia and on a simple an accessible gameplay concept. The nostalgia part is not so detailed like many passionate fans may demand, but at least it has succeeded in being accessible.
    • 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.

    This is a great adventure full of action, puzzles and platforming with a fantastic story and art style that we really enjoyed even with its flaws.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    While it includes some welcome additions like widescreen support and improved analog controls for the 3D entries, this compilation feels incomplete due to the absence of several versions, lack of translations, and questionable choices like removing original save systems; still, it offers a decent way to revisit or discover this quirky platforming trilogy if you manage your expectations.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    It has been great to enjoy a classic 3D platforming game. These sort of games have almost disappeared in this generation, except for mediocre movie adaptations. American McGee and his team have made a great game, fresh and charming.

    Telltale has done a good job with Batman, but it failed to surprise us. We have a solid foundation, but they need to work harder to make it something as good as you would expect from this studio and the Dark Knight.

    If you expect a Koei Tecmo all-stars musou, that's exactly what you get. It's fun and full of well-known characters, and even if it's not the best musou available, it's original and quite enjoyable.

    Tenchu: Shadow Assassins is a good game, but because of its design, not everyone will like it. Is a pretty demanding game that can become frustrating, above all in those moments we will have to wait hoping not to be tracked down and be able to continue. Because of that is a game recommended to those patient players or to the ones used to this game mechanics.

    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.

    Falcon Age is a solid adventure, particularly in VR, thanks to the relationship it builds between the player and the hawk.
