    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.

    Overall Spyborgs is a good game, although somewhat far from what Capcom promised. It is a fun game, although it becomes repetitive, above all by an unbalanced gameplay and the seldom sensation of not knowing well what is happening.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Perfect for those who're looking for simple and plain action that will leave you exhausted. There are few additions compared to the original release, but it is indeed the best option to relive or to discover this frenetic series.

    The franchise is finally going in the right direction, and we're definitely looking forward to a possible sequel. It has some disappointing aspects, but overall the feelings are positive, particularly if you're a Dragon Ball fan.

    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.

    Shenmue III is definitely more Shenmue, but a flawed one. It’s not as good as the originals, although it brings its essence back and lets us enjoy this timeless adventure one more time.

    Fairy Tail has some obvious budget-related shortcomings, but it’s also a very solid take on the franchise that doesn’t take the easy way out and becomes a musou. It’s definitely a game for fans of the franchise, so if you’re not familiar with it, you’ll find better alternatives.

    Tatics is a good turn-based strategy game Warhammer fans will love. It could've used a campaign with more focus on the narrative to keep us more engaged, though.

    Tower of Guns is shooter where shooting is all that matters. It lacks personality, but holds some fun.
    • 67 Metascore

    If you like the genre, you'll probably like this game. There's still many things to be improved, but even son, it's already a very good option.

    Damon and Baby delivers a charismatic twin-stick shooter experience brimming with imaginative lore and striking artistic personality. While the character-driven narrative eventually captivates, the journey suffers from frustratingly imprecise platforming and a sluggish opening pace. Despite these mechanical flaws and inconsistent sound design, this remains a refreshing, albeit unpolished, alternative to contemporary genre staples.

    Pirate Warriors 4 is a game we’ve enjoyed as fans of the franchise, but as a game we feel like it hasn’t improved over its predecessor. If you understand and forgive its shortcomings, you’ll have a great time with it.
    • 69 Metascore

    This is a very charming puzzle adventure, although characters aside, it doesn’t offer anything particularly worth highlighting. All in all, it’s a good game.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A loving return to the classic stealth strategy formula with beautiful maps, a smart tactical pause system, and modern visuals, though its steep difficulty curve, design quirks, and lack of optimization may alienate newcomers and frustrate even veterans at times.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    It still is a game aimed at younger audiences, but that can be played (and enjoyed) by older ones. It isn't the best game ever, and it doesn't want to be that, but it improves every single aspect of the original, and we've had a great time playing it cooperatively.

    With its vices and virtues, The Punisher No Mercy may be worthy to spend some time in multiplayer matches without much complication. Of course there are many and better alternatives in the same terrain, but it offers some fun for a lesser price.
    • 72 Metascore

    Atomic Heart is a game with many lights, but also some shadows. It feels like the developers bit more than they could chew, but the foundations are solid and there is a lot of potential for future entries.

    Battle League is a game with fantastic gameplay and a worrying lack of content. We’re sure there’s a lot of free content coming, but for now it’s a very barebone experience.

    This adventure comes back with a decent remaster to give us another opportunity to enjoy a kind of forgotten 3D platformer.

    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
    • 72 Critic Score
    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.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Little Town Hero has some good ideas, but it doesn’t develop them well. Because of this, it struggles to keep the player engaged after a few hours. And it’s a shame, because it had a lot of potential.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    It has some issues, but above all, it's very fun and entertaining, specially playing with a friend. Recommended for those who miss the old arcades where you could kill hundreds of guys with a couple of buttons.

    Immortal Legacy is some sort of Uncharted in VR, and that’s great. Sure, the budget and the scope isn’t the same, but the core experience remains and we’ve really enjoyed. The story, though, is absolute nonsense.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Werewolves Within is a really good experience, and it made us feel like we were there sitting and playing with other people. Still, being VR-only, and requiring 5 people to be online to play it, it's a risky purchase.

    We need to take this game as a spin-off with a mobile nature. If you don't expect a full-size Halo, it's worth your time.

    We can conclude that, apart from some connection glitches we hope to be kept polished, Socom Confrontation is a good, exclusively multiplayer game, which runs the risk of being overlapped by other more comprehensive games.

    Yaga is great adventure with some RPG touches. We’ve found it very charming and, even if it is quite short, it’s also replayable.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    It’s always good to have new options and opportunities to play a game. The Last Hope hasn’t aged as well as other RPGs, but it’s a good game, particularly if you enjoy the combat more than the story.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    This remake is something we’ve enjoyed mostly out of nostalgia, but it lacks ambition and, let’s be honest, it hasn’t aged very well. Add some bugs and you’ll have an enjoyable but also disappointing return.

    Artefacts Studio delivers an entertaining dungeon management game that mixes humor, satire, and classic management elements, but lacks challenge and depth in the long run. It is a fun and attractive game for fans of the genre who are looking for a relaxed and pleasant time, but not for those who seek a demanding and lasting experience.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The game is very well made and cand surprise many people for the great amount of content it offers, with around 25 hours of play, and its characters' charm. A very polished game that children will enjoy.

    • 72 Critic Score
    This is not a game for quick matches, but long sessions of play, but its gameplay is solid and can engage you until you reach Level 45. It adapts PC classics like DOTA or League or Legends to console, with simple controls and beautiful graphics.

    Doomsday is one of the weakest entries of the Deponia franchise, but this doesn't mean it's a bad game. Actually, it's a pretty good choice for point & click lovers.

    It is difficult to find a movie-based game that is really good, and Rango almost achieves it. It doesn't bring anything especially new, but overall offers a varied and entertaining adventure.

    It's a Facebook game turned into an iOS. It's not very original, even though is entertaining and engaging. It's partially based on the free-to-play concept, so eventually we might face some money-demanding situations.

    A great alternative to the annual simulator, but there are some options missing (offline multiplayer, time attack) that should be included in this kind of title.

    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.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    The combination of platforming and puzzles are quite solid in this interesting title, easily recommendable for fans of the genre, even though if falls shorts in some aspects like difficulty and length.

    Crytek has delivered a visually impressive title, very immersive and interesting, although the VR limitations, the pricing and the potential motion sickness related to free movement are also worth considering. In any case, it’s a game any PSVR should try to see the potential of the headset.

    StudioBando delivers a charming, family-friendly adventure with clever puzzles, expressive animation, and heartfelt humor inspired by Latin American culture, though its less polished action segments, repetitive music, and minor bugs slightly hold back an otherwise magical and imaginative experience.

    Little Big Adventure – Twinsen’s Quest will undoubtedly bring back fond memories for many veterans, and this update is a good incentive to give it another playthrough. We fear that perhaps the controls and action – which can be largely avoided if you play well – will put off new generations, but that is not entirely the fault of the remake: the improvements must be balanced without altering the original spirit. On the positive side, there are aspects that time stands still. Its story, some very entertaining puzzles and the personality of an adventure created with a different mentality to what we find in the current market are compelling reasons to at least give this cult game a chance.

    Ghost Giant is a beautiful story in a beautiful world, although sometimes it forgets about the player, leaving them completely out of the action, something you don’t want to see in a VR game. However, if you want a lighthearted point-and-click sort of adventure for PS VR, this is a good option.

    This comprehensive 30th-anniversary celebration of Rayman delivers an invaluable digital museum, excellent emulation of multiple game versions, and a challenging yet rewarding platforming experience.

    The most remarkable aspect of this adventure is the constant sense of discovery. Although the puzzles and physics engine don't always quite measure up, the game's overall approach is ideal for unwinding after a hard day, or simply for when we feel like stepping into the skin of one of these little lizards for a while. After all, that is what defines video games: the opportunity to experience adventures that, in any other context, would be unthinkable.
