    Trailblazers is a great concept that can be fun and very enjoyable, but the lack of complexity and depth ends up having a negative impact in the experience.

    Its redefined difficulty turns it into a platforms game both for nostalgic games and most of the public.

    It's definitely something unique. We could tell you many things about it, but it's something you need to experiment and draw your own conclusions.

    Erica does some things really well, like giving you choices that really have an impact on the story. However, it all feels a little bit rushed, and answers come before you have time to ask questions.

    This is an interactive Star Wars movie that hasn’t really been able to transition successfully to PSVR. Gameplay-wise feels flawed, although it manages to tell us a good story with some memorable moments.

    Daemon X Machina has some great aspects and some others… are not so great. Repetitive missions, slow combat and an unbalanced difficulty make it a little bit disappointing.

    This is a good successor of the original series, with charming character and the sense of humor we all know and love.

    We must understand this as an utility, not a videogame. It is a software, with its accessory, which aims to reward our efforts with some advice in a nice and friendly style.

    Despite clunky controls, repetitive chases, and frequent loading screens that disrupt the pacing, this darkly charming, hand-animated adventure captivates with its stunning art direction, heartfelt story, and creative character mechanics that evoke classic Clock Tower nostalgia.

    It has some flaws, but the core and its presentation are so solid that makes up for them. If you like surviving and crafting, don't miss this challenging and absorbing adventure.

    Rune Factory 5 delivers a well-known experience that fans will enjoy, although its new 3D graphics sometimes can end up being a bit detrimental.

    It still is a great game, and even though it's hard and challenging, it does feel as a rewarding experience. If you like the genre and you are patient enough, go for it.

    Penta Tentacles is a very fun game, as passionate as simple, that makes the best of a formula to bring us three game modes and a high quality challenge, with an unusual atmosphere.

    Tom Clancy's Endwar is a very good strategy game, a experience that no genre fan should let escape, because the sensation of having under our command such a number of troops who obey our orders is just fantastic. Its biggest problem, though, is its shallowness in strategic options in comparison with what we are used to seeing on PC.

    Lost Sphear brings back that classic RPG feeling, so if you're looking for that, you won't be disappointed. However, we feel like it's time for the team to take some creative risks

    This is one of those games PS Plus users should not miss, and if you like puzzles and platforming it's a must-have. It's original and fresh, and even though it could have been a little bit more polished, it still is a great experience.

    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.

    NBA 2K24 is fantastic when it comes to its gameplay, but its extreme focus on microtransations ends up hurting the experience.

    Starblood Arena is a very enjoyable game, and works better than expected in VR. It does need more content though, and we hope it arrives, because the foundations are quite good.

    On their way to create the true Burnout spiritual succesor, Three Field Entertainment delivers an evolution of the well known Crash mode. It's fun and enjoyable, but a little bit pricey for the content it offers, and the control during the driving sequences needs polishing.

    Grand Bazaar is destined for those who play Harvest Moon for the first time. Many things work automatically, and the player will make money soon, especially thanks of the many options where are to earn it. But those seasoned Harvest Moon players may find the game dull and limited.

    NBA 2K21 offers the best virtual basketball experience out there, even if it still needs some tweaks to polish the gameplay and microtransactions are, once again, everywhere.

    Sports Interactive reinvents its legendary football management saga with a major technical leap to Unity, full FIFA licensing, and the long-awaited inclusion of women’s football, achieving unmatched realism and depth. However, its excessive data overload, dense interface, and slower pacing make it at times exhausting rather than immersive.

    Inside my Radio is a great platformer that deserves more attention. It's not perfect, but it's very addictive and when you beat it you just want more.

    This is good sequel for fans thanks to its setting and plot, but it’s still stuck in a somehow outdated gameplay.

    Zoo Tycoon is too hard for kids and too simple for adults, specially if they're looking for a game to become zoo managers. So we guess that it's meant for parents who want to play with their kids. If you're one of those, then it's a great choice.

    This online multiplayer offers a tense and unique experience thanks to its mansion setting, clever use of light, sound, and stealth, along with fun modifiers and a great guest-pass system, but suffers from having only one map, limited modes, matchmaking issues, and being overly dependent on playing with friends.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Behind a dull design, this is one of the best platformers we've seen in a few years. Extremely hard and addictive, it's one of those games that catches you for hours.

    If you are a fan of this sport and want the snow season to start, this is hands down a very recommended game, because of the correctness of its different features and also for the realism of the mountains and the snow.

    This game will be enjoyed specially by F1 fans. The rest of gamers may be disapointed by the control, which is not completely polished (although it improves if we tweak it), and the lengthy learning curve.

    This time, we need to manage our Japanese village and its role in a war. It's easier and more accessible than the average app of its kind, which should help it to get a wider audience.

    Even though at its core it's a little bit simple, it's a great sequel, and, even better, it's an experience that makes you smile.

    Even though it's a good concept, the execution has its ups and downs, and feels like a game that could have ended up being a better experience.

    Master Spy is challenging, beautiful and fun. We think it would've worked better on a handheld, but it's a good game nevertheless.

    A touching and surprisingly deep adventure where possessing everyday objects tells a heartfelt life story, Henry Halfhead delights with its creative mechanics, charming art style, and brilliant narration, though its short length and some repetitive ideas slightly hinder the pacing.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Despite its nostalgic charm, fast-paced action, and enjoyable co-op mode, this 16-bit-style platformer suffers from imprecise controls, sharp difficulty spikes, and a lack of Spanish translation that dull its appeal, though its humor and visual homage to the original anime remain engaging.

    • 67 Critic Score
    While its frantic cooperative action, improved mobility, fun gore, and solid map design make it enjoyable with friends, Killing Floor 3 suffers from repetitive waves, lack of content, downgraded class system, generic art direction, and missing features, feeling more like an early access release that needs substantial updates to reach its full potential.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a visual novel with a little bit more of gameplay diversity, but not enough to be considered a SRPG. It's a good game for fans of the genre, who finally can enjoy without importing it.

    We said at the beginning that Dustborn is a bold game, and we reiterate it, but I wish Red Thread, Quantic Dream or whoever else we have to point out had been as brave in allowing a few extra months of development.

    • 77 Critic Score
    With no doubt Overlord Dark Legend is fresh air for the console portfolio, not only for its control system -which we have already seen in other games-, but also for that uninhibited and "bad-ass" style it has.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A more than decent game, but without much innovation. It is a great game for kids, although it has some problems in the control, and achieves to transmit the visual spectacle of the original movies, although we miss some more different gameplay elements.

    Seven is a good stealth game, spiced up with RPG features. It has some issues, but it is very enjoyable overall.

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

    Even though it's not the best in its genre, Battleborn is a game that can keep you entertained for a long while. It has a lot of potential, but it probably depends on how well the community receives it.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    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.

    Exit the Dungeon is a solid shooter/platformer that iterates on the original concept. It doesn’t execute it as well as that, but overall it is a lot of fun.

    Destroy All Humans! brings back the game from the 128-bit era with new graphics, new features and even restored content that was left on the cutting room floor. It wasn’t perfect back in the day and it isn’t now, but it’s fun if you want to have some classic, straightforward action.
    • 68 Metascore

    Under an almost PS2 visuals, there's a great game. It's extremely fun and addictive, and if you missed its original release on Xbox 360, you can grab this version that adds new levels and enemies, and even a new character that will give a twist to its gameplay. Don't let the graphics mislead you.

    Riff: Everyday Shooter is a complex title, it can both please and engage the player or disappoint and frustrate him. So this is a title not suitable for everyone, but for players who like new and fresh experiences, although ultimately this game is just a shoot'em up with a renewed look and a soundtrack that is worthy listening at least twice.

    • 68 Metascore

    There are some aspects with some room for improvement (like the lack of content), but still fans of the genre will definitely enjoy this experience. We think it’s a little bit pricey for what it offers, though.

    Yooka-Laylee is a good game, but not as good as we expected. Great ideas not so well-executed, with minor issues and big ones, including the controls and level design. Still, this type of game has been disappeared for so long that if you like the genre you will definitely enjoy it.
    • 68 Metascore

    Deadly Premonition lacks a lot of things to be a good game. It needs a well defined gameplay, good control and a better pace. Its technical flaws are even more obvious. But it hides something interesting in its story, its narrative and some loose ideas spread through its design.

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

    FIFA 18 on Switch is very good, but not as good as it should be. Technical limitations aside, EA should have pushed this version further at least content wise. In any case, if you don't care that much about the new features introduced this year in the main versions or you just want portability over content, it's a great choice.

    • 73 Critic Score
    It’s a cozy survival game with charming crafting, exploration, and a warm audiovisual style, but the unclear mission design, frustrating lack of a map, and clunky interface can hinder the experience — overall, a sweet and relaxing adventure for players who favor atmosphere over deep challenge.

    GORN is a crazy, violent game that is just fun. However, the developers haven’t taken into consideration the limitations of the PSVR hardware, and they have even removed the asymmetric mode, making the PS4 version quite limited and less enjoyable.

    A good game which had some elements to become outstanding, although it should not be discarded too soon, as it is a game very different to the rest of the Wii library, and will be liked by classic gameplay lovers, specially for its platforming and puzzle elements.
