    A free adventure that tries to recover the narrative essence of Silent Hill, with the collaboration of two veterans of the saga: Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka. It has some great moments and ideas, but also some flaws in its design and execution, and it will inevitably be compared to the unforgettable P.T.

    A great addition for those who enjoyed the original version. It may be expensive if considered a mere DLC, but it holds many, many hours of fun.

    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.

    Behind its protagonists' breasts, there's a game that offers fast and crazy action, and that will deliver entertainment and fun at its core.

    White Knight Chronicles II is not an excellent role-playing game but can be a good alternative for those looking for a Japanese RPG with western influences and good multiplayer modes. It doesn't have a great story, but if you like the gameplay system you will have a lot of fun both in the campaign and in the online mode.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It borrows from classic games of the genre, in such a pure way that what will be nostalgia for some, will be hurdles for others. However, it's aimed at a certain audience that will enjoy every positive and "negative" side of the game.

    The remaster is good, but nothing has really changed apart from the resolution and framerate. It's one of those games you either love or hate, but it definitely has something unique.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It’s a well-designed game that’s perfectly enjoyable in short sessions, with a free-to-play system quite honest with the player. Its biggest problem is that it can feel repetitive sooner than expected.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even though it’s meant to be an educative game, it’s still an interesting adventure, and particularly relevant thanks to the parallelisms it draws with the rise of the nazism now and then.

    Ittle Dew 2 is fun and quite enjoyable. Its shortcomings are obvious as its budget isn’t particularly big, but if you’re ok with that, it’s worth your time.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Even though it arrives a few years late, at least we have the opportunity to try this version of the game, which clearly is the "good one". Everything makes sense on Wii, and even though it feels a little bit outdated, it still is interesting and fun for those who know the game they're buying.

    LIT
    LIT is a very interesting puzzle game, with a gameplay premise which turns it into a very remarkable proposal within the WiiWare portfolio.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    En Garde! is a charming adventure that fans of the genre will love, although it lacks a bit of depth.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This new adventure doesn't bring new changes. It's still fun and enjoyable, but the combat and exploration need to be revisited.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It is not interesting from a technical or aesthetic point of view, but compensates for it with a good development and a certain humor that covers all the story.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A simple idea becomes a very interesting experience. It may get repetitive, but if you want to play something different, have a look at Anarcute.

    Iron Harvest, in its, obviously, most complete edition, lands on console with a solid adaptation that lets players enjoy it outside its natural medium.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    ABZU is extremely beautiful, charming and awe-inspiring, but the lack of challenge and its length prevent it from achieving something bigger. Still, it's one of those games that you need to try.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Chronos is a very solid adventure, long and unique, that also proves VR works with third-person titles.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It delivers a breathtaking hand-drawn cinematic experience that captivates through its imaginative storytelling and magnificent orchestral score. However, it struggles with repetitive, shallow gameplay mechanics and lingering technical bugs. Despite its visual brilliance and deep philosophical narrative, the simplistic action and lack of mechanical depth prevent it from reaching true greatness.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It has its ups and downs, but in general is a interesting adventure that fans of the genre will enjoy.
    • 81 Metascore

    Ultimately, a noteworthy racing game, which genre fans will enjoy. Even for those who are not fans of the movies this is an enjoyable racing game.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you like RPGs and management, this is a pretty interesting option. It fails when it comes to certain aspects, like the combat, but overall it's very enjoyable.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Lord of Arcana will be liked by a very specific public who knows exactly what to expect from this game and its genre. It offers just what it promised, and nothing else: combat and hunting, and also exploration to find better items.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is a great medieval experience that combines RPG, strategy and action and gives us a lot of freedom to do whatever we want. Some mechanics are not very deep, but other than that, it’s a solid title.
    • tbd Metascore

    Astronite combines platforms, action and exploration to deliver a metroidvania that doesn’t take many risks but gets the more core of the game right.
    • 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.
    • 65 Metascore

    Hoard is a very fun multiplayer game, not only for the pleasure of becoming a dragon and terrorize villagers, but also for the intense and dynamic mechanics its gameplay offers.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's quite good, and we enjoyed its gameplay and its team-based offer. We have to wait and see how it evolves, but the base concept leads us to think Ghost Recon Online may have a very bright future. We deeply encourage you to give it a try, especially if you like tactic action and you don't feel like spending any money.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Nothing new, but it works. It's fun, entertaining and polished, so if you're looking for fast and simple action, give it a try.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Starpoint Gemini 2 works really well on Xbox One, and proves it's a fun game, well-balanced and engaging. Still, its story isn't particularly appealing and its gameplay doesn't reach its full potential, leaving room for some improvements.
    • 64 Metascore

    Blade Arcus is a very solid and enjoyable fighting game, particularly recommended for those who love Shining Hearts, Shining Blade and Shining Resonance.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you like dark stories with a touch of psychological horror, make sure you give this a try. It also has a fair amount of endings, so you you can rediscover it several times.

    A good collection of mini games becomes a great experience if you’re old enough to feel nostalgic.

    Overcooked is not very original, but it's very well executed, and the multiplayer addition makes it very addictive.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A very fun and refreshing game, and a great start for Hironobu Sakaguchi on mobile platforms. The control is good and the gameplay mechanics are great, but it lacks some more depth and options. We also miss a multiplayer mode.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Felix the Reaper is very original and fun, which is something we can’t really say about many puzzle-based games. It struggles to stay fresh after a few hours, but it’s always enjoyable.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Dark Devotion is full of imperfections, but it is also full of great ideas. If you like metroidvania games and the Dark Souls feeling, you should give it a try, since it does deliver a challenging but enjoyable adventure.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Although it doesn’t look very appealing, the gameplay itself is very solid, and Judgment is indeed a great option for those interested in this type of game.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It doesn't offer anything new when played solo, apart from the beautiful graphics, but it improves a lot when played cooperatively.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A good game directed to fans of the series, although it has some summaries of previous chapters for newcomers to get into the story. It has some great virtues, like an agile and fun combat system, an interesting story and good visual, but also some problems, like empty worlds or the repetition of scenarios. It is a recommended game if you can forgive its flaws.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Concrete Genie is a game made with love and passion, and it shows. Gameplay-wise it falls a little bit short, but it’s a touching adventure we do recommend.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It is an interesting adventure, but this version leaves some room for improvement, taking into account that two years have passed since its original release.
    • 65 Metascore

    Dexed can look simple, but it offers a challenging gameplay that can be really engaging and fun. It doesn't have much content, though, but is priced accordingly.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Ubisoft’s latest entry refines rather than reinvents the series, offering a vibrant audiovisual experience, fun cooperative and fitness modes, and smooth integration with Just Dance+, but its inconsistent motion detection and the paywalled best songs keep it from fully shining.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Hot Pursuit’s core has aged very well, although not everything around it has. Even with its flaws, this is a solid racing game that we recommend to everyone who misses simpler times, when games didn’t need filler content to be greenlighted.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    As you can expect, Ninja Theory’s latest game has seen some technical sacrifices to fit Nintendo’s console, but the experience remains. Hellblade is a story that needs to be played, even if the gameplay isn’t as good.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Song of Nunu is a fun game that can be enjoyed even if you’ve never played LoL before. Great setting, clever puzzles and a fantastic protagonist duo shine in this otherwise slightly simplistic game.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The remake offers a captivating atmosphere and strong narrative with beautiful, detailed environments and improved character models, but its puzzles remain quite simple and the performance suffers occasional frame drops on consoles. Overall, it is a faithful update that will appeal to adventure fans new to the game despite some technical shortcomings.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It is hands down a good game, providing in every aspect and it is very enjoyable, but it has too many superior rivals, which to be fair is not its fault.
    • 74 Metascore

    It would be a tough buy decision for a series veteran, but is a more than recommended acquisition for those who want to jump into the music genre.

    Madfinger surprised us with Shadowrun, a really ambitious game for iOS, and has achieved that again with Dead Trigger, at least in part. Despite being a bit simplistic and repetitive from a gameplay standpoint, it has some interesting features like infinite missions, great visuals and good controls. It is not a revolution, but it is enjoyable and quite affordable.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The concept is hilarious and it works great, but it feels quite short and makes you wish for a few extra levels. Still, a great experience enhanced by new control schemes on PS4.

    Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Vally is, hands down, the best Harvest Moon ever to have appeared for the PSP. It is a shame it has so long loading times, which cast a shadow over the game dynamics.

    Wild Hearts is a Monster Hunter-like adventure with its own ideas that delivers something different, even with a flawed execution.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Youngblood is blast with friends, but its mission design is, in many occasions, just bad. This sort of open world approach could’ve worked, but not like this. If you like coop shooters you’ll have a good time, but bear in mind you’ll be facing some questionable checkpoints (or the lack of thereof) and walking up and down the same scenarios over and over.

    Please Fix the Road is a game that knows how to execute its concept in a minimalistic way. It doesn’t always work, but when it does it’s really satisfying.
    • 77 Metascore

    Blinking your life away is definitely one of the most interesting concepts we’ve ever seen, although the execution is a bit flawed.

    The Guest is a game for those who look for an experience above anything else. There are some rough edges, but there's a very enjoyable, solid base that makes it worth it.
    • 60 Metascore

    The franchise leaves behind the melodramatic concept of the previous episodes, but the new gameplay system, more action-focused, works well for a mobile game.
    • 69 Metascore

    This is a very interesting metroidvania adventure fans of the genre will enjoy, although it feels very limited compared to other similar titles.

    The price and the fact that it's focused on replayability might be reasonable for some, but it still feels like an unfinished product. If you can't wait, at least you'll get a taste of Hitman.

    Although the game is very similar to other Dynasty Warriors titles, Next surprises with a touch control that works quite well and a remarkable number of enemies in screen without losing graphic quality. If you like the series this is a good acquisition for the PSVITA.

    Do you like EDF? Then you will like World Brothers 2, because it encapsulates the essence of the series without complications and provides a presentation that is a bit generic but also more polished than usual in other D3 Publisher games. It is an excellent family shooter and therefore we can say that Yuke’s has successfully fulfilled its mission: it is the perfect entry into this universe and the pastime for the fan who has already squeezed out Earth Defense Force 6.

    Iron Danger is based on an interesting time-traveling that sometimes works great, and sometimes doesn’t. If you like the genre, though, it’s worth a try, as it offers something hard to find in other similar games.

    Golf with your Friends is exactly what its title promises. It’s a great game to pick up and play, but it lacks some options that should be mandatory, like quick games with fewer holes, or automatically kicking out idle players, who ruin the fun for the rest.
