    It is not only recommended for fans of the original game, but for anyone who want to embark into a new roleplaying adventure with a lot of intelligent humour.

    If you're an RPG fan looking for a fresh experience, this is your game. It feels a little bit short, but it's quite original and we think it deserves a try.

    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.

    If you have enjoyed Red Alert 3 in console, there is no reason for not buying this expansion. Not recommended for newcomers.

    APID isn't a bad game, but it doesn't do anything new or particularly well. Still, is a good choice if you're just looking for some shooting action.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a good action game, and it has one single aim: make sure the player has fun. It feels a little bit pricey, but it's worth checking out if you miss 90's action games.

    Cities XL 2011 is an astoundingly complete game, which further enhances the quality of the previous game. It has almost infinite gameplay options, and although we miss a more human approach to our inhabitants, it has incredible management options for our city.

    Lake is a peaceful narrative adventure that interestingly enough, is better at its art and gameplay than its narrative.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This title is quite enjoyable nowadays, since its destruction-focused action holds up pretty well today. It might get repetitive if you don’t get creative, but it still delivers a good experience.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    We're really happy to have games like this brought to the West, but we're even happier because it is a great choice for RPG/strategy games fans, with plenty of characters you will enjoy playing as or against.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Everything feels like a step forward, even though there are some aspects (like random tutorials or some situations in which we felt completely out of control) that we would like to see more polished. Still, a great choice for The Sims fans.

    The Last Remnant isn’t the best RPG from the previous generations, but it is good and original indeed. The visual update also fixes some issues, and makes it look better than ever.

    You may think the App Store is full of games like this, but this one is full of simplicity in order to make its gameplay shine. It's racing and arcade taken to a simple, but fun and addictive level.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Again, a great episode on the narrative side, but the technical limitations are playable shortcomings are getting hard to ignore.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This game won't turn us into killing machines, but will make us practice and exercise through combat movements, and it manages to successfully differenciate itself from the rest of fitness games.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Maybe, as a game is not as good as the original Resident Evil, but it still is a great game, and the remaster is outstanding. Also introduces a few new features, and allow us to enjoy that Resident Evil gameplay that has been long forgotten.

    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.

    An entertaining game, that is only recommendable for young kids for its excessive simplicity. It uses Disney characters but doesn't make the most of the license, but can be very fun when four people play.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Lego Indiana Jones 2 is a decent sequel, keeping the style of the original without changing the formula, which makes sure it will be enjoyed by those who liked the first game, but won't surprise anyone.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A great idea held by its issues. We really hoped there were some improvements on the Wii U version, but it fails to deliver an engaging experience.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    The game is still as good as it was on PS3, and it's a great opportunity if you want a handheld version.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Even thought it's technically outstanding, this game becomes something mediocre because of its abusive free-to-play system.
    • 70 Metascore

    This is a Japanese roguelike aimed at a very specific audience, and even if the game isn't great, its audience will enjoy it.

    It's just more Picross, but that doesn't mean it's something bad. Quite the opposite.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    It is good and addictive, but it becomes eventually so hard that might discourage you from keep on playing. If you're up for a challenge, go ahead, otherwise keep its difficulty in mind.
    • 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.

    A decent title game a campaign that doesn't meet expectations, but with a great and unique multiplayer mode.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dead Star is an interesting idea, but also quite risky. The whole experience revolves around its community, so the success of the game is in your hands. Being available on PS Plus, if you're looking for a team-based experience, it's worth a try.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Art Style: AQUITE has the risk of going unnoticed, but it truly presents one of the most interesting proposal of this first wave of DSIWare titles, and in fact, regardless its origins, is a puzzle that has delighted us and we only miss any sort of multiplayer option.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    With two islands, a good number of luxury cars, cool environments and lots of races, Test Drive Unlimited 2 follows the path of the previous installment, and improves on it, although it doesn't change the formula.

    Maybe saying that this is currently the best helicopter simulation game is not the greatest of the praise due the lack of competition, but certainly it is an enjoyable game.

    A deserved homage to Mario, but too short in extras and not adapted for current times.

    • 78 Critic Score
    Although it is a port and doesn't shine visually, it is still Resident Evil and offer great horror gameplay. The game achieves to feel dangerous, and if you have PlayStation Move, this is a great chance to enjoy two Wii classics.
    • 70 Metascore

    Galaxy of Heroes is unoriginal and repetitive, and even though it can be entertaining, it feels like a wasted opportunity to do something more interesting with the franchise.

    Milestone delivers yet another enjoyable racing game. Motocross fans will definitely enjoy it even with its shortcomings, and if you’re just looking for a decent racing game, you will enjoy it too.

    This game is aimed at young Pokémon fans. If you're older, there are better puzzles on 3DS.

    It knows how to evolve the series without losing it essence. Also, the new online features are really welcome, expanding the life of the title.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Fans of the UFC will probably enjoy this game a lot, even though those who are new to the series will find it quite confusing. Tutorials are not as good as the should, and it lacks a training mode where practice our moves. Still, a good starting point for EA Sports.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's not as surprising as the original, but if you enjoyed Grow Home, you'll enjoy Grow Up. This episode offers more possibilities, but still may end up being repetitive.

    • 72 Critic Score
    Terminator 2D: No Fate is a visually striking and musically rich homage to its iconic film, faithfully recreating the T2 universe. However, its run'n gun gameplay often feels irregular and lacks the consistent frenetic pace expected. While boss battles are impressive, the short campaign and artificial replayability result in a bittersweet experience, succeeding as a tribute more than a definitive shooter.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Two Worlds II is a very complete RPG which substantially improves the original game, engaging us in a fantasy world. Its huge and atractive environments, simple and direct gameplay, and the variety of things available to be done in the Antaloor universe are some of the great virtues of and adventures oriented both to genre veterans and newcomers.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's far from being the best port, but also from being the worst. AC Chronicles works quite well on PS Vita, and if you don't have the console version or you want to play on the go, it still is a good choice.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a very interesting and challenging game, although it isn't as hard as other similar titles. It feels fresh, and if you like Hotline Miami-like action, it's a good choice.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    That's You! is probably going to surprise you. It's fun and well designed, and the interaction with the mobile app feels natural. If you have PS Plus, download it at not extra cost and try it with your friends.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Code Name: S.T.E.A.M is yet another great game for the 3DS, accessible and challenging at the same time. We haven't been able to stop playing until we finished, and if you like the genre, we think you'll feel the same.
    • 69 Metascore

    This is a fun shooter, with some good ideas, that struggles to get its story and pacing right, challenged, as well, by visual issues.

    This Formula 1 2009 is a good racing simulator that will be enjoyed by fans, although it should have arrived earlier, and we miss an online mode.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This is a very interesting mix of space exploration and crafting, with some roguelike and shooter mechanics, although its complexity and its confusing menu system makes it only recommendable for big fans of the genre.
    • 69 Metascore

    Not a very convincing game. It is always attractive to become Batman in a videogame, and it is quite a good adaptation, but its gameplay falls limited and repetitive soon.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    It's long, full of content and really fun to play. It's probably the best episode of the franchise, but if you didn't like the series before, this won't change your mind.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Without the depth of titles like KORG DS-10 or Guitar Hero, Ultimate Band is a pretty decent musical title for Nintendo DS, its main feature being the opportunity to play any instrument using the stylus.

    • 83 Critic Score
    Clandestine is one of the best coop experiences we've played so far. We've loved working together with a friend, both as a hacker and as a spy. It is also fun to play it alone, but if you're looking for a new coop game, Clandestine should be one of the main candidates.

    Madden takes a step towards a more arcade-y approach, becoming the most accessible NFL game in many years. EA is trying to find the right identity for the series, and so far we have a very solid title, that still needs some work to be the game this sport deserves.

    A small, yet great adventure, that without having a great argument, nor complicated dialogues, has great puzzles which can be solved with astounding naturalness. It will be liked by those who love the genre, specially the nineties golden age.

    Man of Medan is exactly what we expected: a less ambitious take on the Until Dawn concept. There are some technical issues that should’ve been polished, but overall is a great experience, and considering there aren’t many titles like this (if any), it’s definitely worth your time.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The core beat 'em up mechanics with a touch of RPG made this game a very interesting surprise. Definitely something fans of the genre should try.

    Deliver Us Mars is a very irregular game, probably because the developers tried to bite more than they could chew. Overall, if you enjoyed the previous title, you’ll find some entertainment in this sequel as well.

    West of the Dead has some really good ideas that make they gameplay somewhat known and original at the same time. It can get a little bit repetitive even with the roguelike component, but it is very interesting overall.

    If you're looking for a "medieval life simulator", a different, challenging experience when approaching this setting, check this one out. It has some issues and needs some polishing, but we like what it wants to do, and we hope the developers find the way to bring the best out of it.

    A great competitive mode for the return of Mario Tennis Open. A game for hardcore players, especially those who adore pure competition. Overall, although its new online options are great, it lacks some more single player content and we miss the excellent RPG mode the series had.

    • 75 Critic Score
    With a mix of inspirations from games like Shadow of the Colossus, Dragon’s Dogma, and Breath of the Wild, Eternal Strands offers a fresh yet familiar action RPG experience with engaging combat, strategic encounters against giant foes, and an attractive art style. However, its ambitious design leads to occasional clunky mechanics, repetitive encounters, a lack of tutorials, and an overuse of silence in its sound design, making it feel somewhat incomplete after around 15 hours of play.

    Because of the wide RPG library in PS2 and PSP, and especially on PS2 during its ten years of life, Mana Khemia can sneak modestly between hardcore Atelier Iris fans. There are not many surprises in this game, which is too conservative, but can offer some hours of fun.

    It's hard, eventually hard and well designed. There's nothing outstanding, but everything is correct. However, we don't really understand why it's so focused on in-app purchases when we have already paid for it.
