    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 Visuals might feel outdated, but the fun remains the same.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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's not going to make history, but if you like puzzles, action and Lovecraft, this is a game you should try.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It is a pity Sega hasn't added any new feature, like extras or additional modes to encourage the player.
    • 70 Metascore

    Maquette is interesting and has some really good ideas, although there are many ups and downs throughout it. If you like the genre, make sure you check it out.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Considering it’s full of in-app purchases, Pokémon Unite is a surprisingly good MOBA, thanks to its fast-paced designed and its deep but accessible gameplay.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The third entry in this series leaves its roots behind to offer a more accessible game. We’ve had a good time with it, but Project Cars fans might be disappointed with this new approach.

    This adaptation of the PC game Attack of Pearl Harbor has achieved very positive results, and has a noteworthy duration for a downloadable game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Even though it's not perfect, Wailing Heights is one of those games that everyone looking for something different should try. A good plot and a strong visual identity provide the foundations for a very interesting offer.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This title is way more enjoyable if you know the anime the characters are based on, but even if you don't, you'll find a solid and interesting fighting game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    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.

    • 75 Critic Score
    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Telltale Games has achieved to create an entertaining and full of humor game, full of intelligent, yet sometimes repetitive, puzzles.

    • 75 Critic Score
    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.

    The Last Worker is a narrative-based adventure that managed to keep us entertained, but that’s about it.
    • 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.
    • 70 Metascore

    Ultimat adds some interesting new features, but overall it’s more interesting if you haven’t played the original and you discover it as a brand new experience.

    Super Rush is fantastic gameplay-wise, but the lack of modes both for one and multiple players holds it back from becoming a better game.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The game has changed to make simpler the character control and its progression, but gameplay is still too complicated for casual players in boss encounters, so the game falls midway.

    This episode is a good ending for the series, with pretty much everything we could expect from Game of Thrones. If you like the series it is based on, you won't be disappointed.

    Vampyr has a great universe, a great narrative and a great concept, although the execution is a little bit flawed. We’ve enjoyed it even with its flaws so, if you are just a little bit interested in the story and the setting, give it a try.

    Hawx 2 is a much more complete game than the previous one. It doesn't have that futuristic gameplay mechanics of the first one, but it has more variety, with more classic gameplay but at the same time much better for the good mission design, full of twist and new situations.

    Falcon Age is a solid adventure, particularly in VR, thanks to the relationship it builds between the player and the hawk. However, the combat, some technical issues and minor bugs get in the way every now and then, and even if they don’t ruin the experience, prevent it from achieving something bigger.

    Virtua Tennis 2009 is still a great tennis game, and it arrives at the right moment, far enough from the last installment for sports fans to want a little more of Virtua Tennis. The only thing to criticize is the few changes in comparison with the last game.

    The Callisto Protocol is like a game from the PS3/360 era. No open world, no RPG elements, and no other self-imposed AAA features that plague the industry these days. It’s a flawed game, but most important, it’s fun and intense, and we wish there were more games like it.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is not an unoriginal game. SideQuest Studios was looking just for this, an old-school RPG, but with updated graphics. It has mixed influences and this causes some weird results, but it works despite the classic genre flaws: repetitiveness. If you like classic RPG, this game is worth every cent.
