    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Edition is brilliant – the only problem is the price. There's no new content except for the online features and the visuals haven't been really upgraded, which lead us to think that the price should have been closer to the PSOne Classics on PSN. Recommended for those who love retro fighting games, as long as they ignore the price.

    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.

    Saturnalia is a interesting, roguelike experience that shines more as an experimental adventure than as a survival horror.

    If you like classic brawlers, Watchmen is one of the best 3D adaptations of this formula ever made, and the best in recent times. It can become repetitive; in fact it is, what matters is if you like it enough. With a striking technical part because of its price-quality relation, and some very fun features, Watchmen deserves at least a try.

    Feudal Alloy is a good metroidvania that simply works. The genre has evolved so much lately that this title ends up being overshadowed by many others.

    It works, but it's not very original and it needs some more content and options to be engaging for longer. Still, it's not a bad game and it's very enjoyable.

    Arcade Spirits is an interesting story about video games and personal relationships. It is also a good entry point for the visual novel genre, so, if it catches your eye, give it a try.

    Wizards Unite is a very interesting AR game, based, obviously, on the Pokémon GO! formula. However, it is much more complex, and that is a double-edged sword. We recommend giving it a try and seeing how much time and effort we’re willing to spend on it.

    A decent rally game, and the only simulator, considering the arcade path the Colin McRae/DIRT series has taken. It makes the most of the official license, providing plenty of cars, tracks and competitions, a long and fun career mode, with a demanding, yet satisfying driving. However, its outdated visuals will disappoint many.

    It's really hard to mark this game, taking into account you could get the same content on other platforms way cheaper than this. However it's a really good choice for those who'd like to try the series comfortably at home and haven't played it before.

    Moons of Madness is a good adventure game with some horror touches. We like the atmosphere, its pace and its Lovecraft-inspired universe, although it feels somehow limited and the story ends up being a bit cliché.

    Ride 2 is a clear step forward for Milestone, but there are still many things to be improved. In any case, there aren't too many bike racers, and Ride 2 is a good game and a good option.

    Calendula is a game that wants to surprise the player, and it does achieve that. We feel like it could've told a story or deliver a deeper, richer experience, but it feels like a solid foundation for the studio.

    Guardian Cross mixes up Japanese RPG elements with western card games and sets it in a Sqaure-Enix-like world. Being free-to-play might be a problem for many players, but we believe it's special and it's worth a try.

    Daytona USA is a loyal remake to the mythic arcade game we loved so much in the mid-nineties. It is still as fun as ever, and adds new game modes and online play, but it is still just three tracks, and that might seem limited.

    The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered offers a faithful remaster of the original adventure, enhancing visuals and performance while maintaining its timeless aesthetic.

    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.

    Backed by a quality studio, Battle Fantasia is an interesting fighting game which can result risky at times. It has some RPG elements, although shallow, which change some of the more typical aspects of its genre, and only a dozen characters. The advantage is that there are no filler characters, but a larger line-up would have favoured the game with more variety.

    If you're interested in strategy games, Monarchy should be on your list of upcoming purchases. It's a very simple and short title (we can finish it in less than four hours) that has an attractive artistic aspect as its main attraction. More than for its game modes or for offering something really new, it attracts attention for its addictiveness. In addition, we can get it on Steam for €15, which more than justifies the time of fun it guarantees. Although we would have loved it to have a proper tutorial, we shouldn't have many problems getting the hang of it soon after starting to enjoy it.
