Chronos is a solid mix of combat, exploration and puzzles, although it doesn’t feel so powerful without the VR.

This year’s Madden is a lot of fun and adds some nice gameplay features, but as a series it needs a big push to keep us engaged outside Ultimate Team and Franchise.

The core tower defense mechanics remain as fun and satisfying as ever, allowing for creative trap combinations and cooperative play with up to four players. However, the roguelite elements feel forced, leading to repetitive gameplay, frustrating difficulty scaling, and a lack of long-term incentives.

With all its limitations and its erotic themes, Estival Versus is fun and enjoyable. If you like what the series has to offer, then you don't want to miss this one.

Exoprimal has a good foundation, but the lack of content and its progression system make it fall behind its competitors. It is, though, a very original experience, so hopefully it can improve over time.

Human: Fall Flat has may great ideas and its puzzles are well designed, but technical issues and a quite frustrating control prevent it from being a better game.

This remake, just like its predecessor, is really fun, but do not expect anything particularly noteworthy beyond its graphical update.

It's not easy to get into, but it does offer a lot of content. If you are looking for a dungeon-based RPG, this is a great choice.

This year seems a good one for sidescroller arcade games. Shoot Many Robots keeps the bar high for this type of game, offering lots of content and a good online cooperative mode in a game that will test our fingers.

This is an interesting hack & slash, with a lot of content and a nice –even though not very surprising– story. The controls should have been improved, but still it's a great option.

This title proves that even if you're aimed at a younger audience you can offer a fun game, with a lot of content and balanced gameplay.

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.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean for PSP is just a decent game, only recommended for kids. It is far below the other versions in terms of graphics and gameplay, and is also a shorter game.

"Yet another zombie game" would be the most direct definition of Zombie Apocalypse: Never Die Alone. It offers everything you can expecto from a zombie game: zombies, action and cooperative play. The problem is that it is not that different from other games (and its previous installment), so although it offers fun and entertainment for some hours, it doesn't bring anything actually new.

Nin2-Jump could well have been a flash or web game, as its visuals are not very remarkable, and it has some problems in control which may be annoying sometimes. But it also has something especial.

This episode of Project Zero is like traveling back in time to the golden age of survival horrors. Some may love playing a PS2-like horror game, while some other may feel like it's outdated. We've enjoyed it, even though it still has some aspects that could have been improved.

Open Roads offers a heartfelt, human story set in our world, focusing on the journey of a teenage girl and her mother as they unravel family mysteries. Despite its engaging narrative and top-notch voice acting, the game feels dated in gameplay design, lacking the innovation of similar titles like Gone Home and Tacoma. The exploration of emotions and relationships is its strength, but its gameplay mechanics and visual presentation fall short of expectations.

A game aimed at platforms fans, which will enjoy the game but notice this is not one especially brilliant, which is a shame, considering the great Flash version.

It's a very good RPG that reminds us of the JRPGs from the early 2000s. It has some good surprises, but also some rough edges.

The Legend of Legacy is one of those games you either love or hate. It has as many virtues as weaknesses, but it takes many risks to offer something different, and we think the experience is good enough to make its strengths prevail.

Quotation forthcoming.

It is a good update of the classic titles, and it has been a great choice to base it on the PC versions, and not on the PS2 versions, which had less content. Although it updates the graphics well, the engine looks old, and the cinematics have not improved.

It does a few things right, it does a few things wrong. If you like what it has to offer or if you're looking for an accessible game of its genre, Brut@l can be a good choice.

This is a very fun and accessible title, but only for children.

This title has some good ideas, but it doesn't really shine when executing any of them. It can be a good option if you love the genre, but there are better alternatives out there.

Watch Blasters has some good ideas, but it ends up feeling repetitive and wearing out a concept that could’ve pushed the series a little but further.

There are many things that this adaptation could have done better, but, overall, it gives us a good opportunity to rediscover this game in VR.

Quotation forthcoming.

This light management game is a good tribute to the Atelier series and its characters, although maybe two decades of RPG deserved a little bit more.

As a Way of the Samurai spin-off is interesting, but there are better alternatives in this genre. It is enjoyable, but some of its ideas need better execution.

It has some aspects that should have been polished, but it's unique and interesting, and definitely recommended.

A noteworthy game that proposes us to become snipers, and quite succesfully achieves it. Not a game for everyone, only for those who are willing to be patient, love stealth and want to enjoy every shot as something unique. It is not a very complex simulator and everyone can try and enjoy it, but it is realisticly enough to become a challenge.

The Spectrum Retreat isn’t the most original game when it comes to puzzles, but its setting, narrative and story make up for it. If you want to use your brain while you discover a very interesting story, go for it.

It's a great visual upgrade that remains the playable foundations almost untouched, but feels quite easy and short. However, if you enjoyed the original, it should feel like a great experience.

A "blast from the past" not everyone will enjoy, but that certainly has a lot of fun to give to those looking for a classic action game.

ASL is a intense, difficult challenge, particularly recommended for old-school gamers.

Despite its promising premise, this VR expansion fails to deliver an immersive underwater experience due to its limited interactivity, lackluster graphics, and overly guided gameplay. Movement feels clunky, interactions are shallow, and the second character adds little to the experience, making the short runtime feel unnecessarily stretched.

Penumbra: Requiem has an approximate durability of about five hours and is a fun puzzle game, with some really clever and absorbing puzzles.

It is far from the tactic and realism approach of previous games of the series, but it is accesible for more players, and has a robust online component.

Even if it’s far from perfect and being a classic, The DioField Chronicle is a solid SRPG with great combat and art design.

Variety is the word that defines Nier the best. Variety of genres and game styles which compose an epic, fantastic and full of action adventure.

Dracula: Undead Awakening is an intense and frantic action and shooting game, but it doesn't offer much more than that.

Motocross fans cannot miss this game, and those looking for two-wheel action should take it into account. A great simulator you can make as demanding as you want.

TurnOn is a very interesting experience, with clever and fresh ideas. It doesn't make the most of them, but it still is very enjoyable.

This sequel is no longer surprising, but if you enjoyed the first, you'll like this one. Still, it's a little bit milder and if you focus on its core gameplay, quite dull.

Good ideas, but not so well implemented. The concept works but it's not as motivating as it should, and with so many alternatives in the platforming/puzzle genre, you need a game as engaging as possible. Still, those attracted by its concept should give it a try.

One of the most original games we saw last year on PC turns out as a very interesting iOS experience. If you can deal with what being a surgeon means, then go ahead.

Those looking for something new on Kinect will find this game simple but refreshing. It has plenty of durability and can become challenging sometimes, and motion detection works very well, although physics are not as spectacular as they should be. It lacks some charm and originality, but it is one of the best downloadable titles for Kinect.

We loved this episode. It shows a sensible evolution, being more mature and rising its difficulty. If you haven't played this series yet, it's time to start.

A classic and rudimentary game in spirit, which we think will satisfy a very specific public looking exactly for that. But the rest should decide carefully and try before buying, as the game is as its demo, but for six hours instead of twenty minutes.

Gotham Knights is a game that we've had fun with, but it's also frustrated us. Its main story is entertaining, the few secondary villains are a great attraction, it is full of references that DC fans will fall in love with, and the construction of the superheroes and the relationship between them is one of the best points of the title. However, it wants to be two things at once, without being brilliant at either of them.

Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is not a bad game within its genre. On the contrary: despite its age and some aspect with are obsolete in comparison with more recent RPG titles, the game is still enjoyable as much as when its original installment came out ten years ago.

Cobra Kai doesn’t do anything new, but there is a lot of fun to be had here, particularly in co-op.

Nights of Azure is a very interesting concept, that not only works well, but it also surprises on many levels. Gust should work on making the most of its combat system and improve the exploration part of the gameplay to make it stand out among its competitors.

Cursed Mountain is a good choice against those great survival series available on the shelves, with a particular rhythm and an original atmosphere.

The visuals are somehow weak, but pretty much everything else is really, really strong. And that's what matters. If you've ever played Worms and liked it, you've got no excuse not to try this one.

The idea is good, but the gameplay isn't. We still hoping for an update where everything is balanced and improved, including its free-to-play system.

Megamagic is original, fresh and addictive, but you need to come with an open mind and be willing to play something that is different.

Even though it's not perfect, it's a very fun and well-designed, with a good sense of humor. One of those games that makes time fly.

This is what Ninja Gaiden 3 should have been when it was first released. It's still far from perfect, but it brings back some of the feelings the series used to have.

This is a great choice of old-school RPG fans, with many, many good ideas, and only a few issues preventing it from being something excellent.

Gravel is a game that you'll enjoy if you like this type of racer, although it falls short of ambition when it comes to gameplay and content.

Turok hasn't aged particularly well, but it still fun to play because of all the memories it brigs. Still, you might want to keep the fog on, because AI and the gunplay weren't designed to play without it.

This is a good horror game, although its approach isn't going to please everyone. Its balance between new and old survival horror is interesting, so if you like the genre make sure you give this a try.

There are some good ideas here, and it still is a fun game, but still far from the best examples of the genre.

Industria is a beautiful game with a lot of potential, but held back by both technical and design issues. Some of them can be easily patch, some others might have to wait for a potential sequel.

Marvel’s Avengers knows how to recreate the essence of the heroes it portrays, but it is a bit rough around the edges, and needs time to polish the experience and provide what you would expect from a game like this. This is just the first step, so we hope it all improves as it evolves.

Limbic Entertainment has listened to its fans, and this is the game we've been asking for. It's an episode inspired by the franchise's roots, so if you played the classics, you know what to expect.

Skyshine's BEDLAM works as a roguelike, but its simplistic combat system prevents it from becoming something bigger and deeper.

Stepping away from the path of the main series, Ubisoft brings a complete mobile game that looks great and plays better, and becomes a good choice no matter if you’re looking for a complementary experience for AC IV or an individual one.

If you miss old-school 8-bit RPGs, this is a very interesting option. It isn't perfect and has some aspects that need to be improved, but all in all it's a very enjoyable adventure.

Ultimately, Codename Panzers: Cold War is a very good real time strategy game that delivers enough in all its aspects, but doesn't offer something brand new. Although enjoying the intense action of the game is satisfying, it will often look as it we had been there before.

We keep liking Phoenix Wright, but this version is not as technically advanced as we expected, and you have to decide if the pleasure of enjoying the story compensates that limitation.

It is better than Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, so those who liked that one will like this new installment. But those unconvinced by the previous game won't change their opinion with this new entry, as it improves on it, but doesn't evolve or change much.

A typical expansion which adds new options and missions to the main game and is a good choice for series followers. Although it adds new content, it doesn't bring anything really new in graphics or gameplay mechanics, so those looking for new things to do should think twice.

This is a perfect example of a free-to-play title. There's all the content available, and paying for anything is just an option rather than an imposition. On the top of that, is fun, entertaining and full of options.

Just fun in a straight-forwarded way. Having dinosaurs is one of the key elements that makes it different and enjoyable, however, we think there's no enough content to keep us playing after a few hours.

A great choice if you're looking for a challenge, although, be warned, since it will definitely test your patience. If you know what you're going to face, then you won't regret it.

It's yet another strategy game, and even if it feels sometimes a bit chaotic, it does deserve your attention if you're a fan of the series.

It's not the biggest RPG of the year, but it's a pretty good one. If you're looking for a good RPG adventure and you're happy with an original, Naruto-like system, have a look at this one.

If you've been waiting to play this game, it's finally available in the West. It has some shortcomings, but it's a good game overall and, of course, this is the best way to play it.

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.

This is a solid strategy game, and even if it doesn’t match the greatness of the titles it’s based on and loses a bit of depth, it offers a lot of fun and a much friendlier learning curve.

Although it isn’t much different from other roguelites out there, if you’re looking for one with a 4-player coop, this is a good choice.

This collection brings classic Sims games to modern systems with all expansions and improved resolution support, but the lack of optimization results in crashes, long load times, and outdated UI elements. While nostalgic players may enjoy revisiting these life simulators, the minimal effort put into this re-release makes it feel like a missed opportunity for the franchise's 25th anniversary.

It remains a JRPG gem defined by its mature, dark narrative and frantic combat system. However, this edition feels more like a simple port than a meaningful remaster. While quality-of-life additions and bundled DLC provide value for newcomers, the nearly imperceptible visual upgrades offer little incentive for returning players to revisit this classic.

ELEX gives us freedom, choices and replayability. It's a quite old-school RPG that falls short when it comes to graphics and AI. If you've played and enjoyed any of the previous Piranha Bytes games, make sure you give this one a try.

This is a fast musou game that you can enjoy whether you know the franchise or not. It's not something special within the genre, but if you understand its shortcomings and aspirations, you'll probably like it.

The concept is OK, but difficulty and the progression system are not properly developed and worsen what could have been a much better Adventure Time experience.

It is an RPG with a very strong personality, but its story is dense and it's really difficult to follow considering the fact that the previous games weren't available in our region. As a game, it doesn't disappoint, even though there are better options out there.

If you don't mind a quite challenging learning curve, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII is a great option for those who want to enjoy this genre on consoles. There aren't too many additions, but the game is very solid and engaging.

This is a very complete and engaging game, but it feels like the console version hasn't been too well executed. If you can forgive some technical and control issues, you'll find a very good game.

Crash Team Rumble delivers a solid base and fun gameplay, but the lack of modes and content make it less appealing, at least, at launch.

If you miss those funny, experimental games from the PSX era, this is a great choice. It knows how to make the most of its sense of humor, even if the gameplay could have been deeper or more diverse.

Despite not being an ambitious game, we have liked a lot this MySims SkyHeroes. It is a direct and fun game that allows anyone to play without complications.

One of the last RE games loyal to the classic formula of the series, that still offers a great and thrilling story despite its aged controls.

Starship Troopers and its legacy persist in popular culture, being a cult film that is increasingly loved and applauded by viewers and a novel that is highly sought after by generations of readers. Unfortunately, this video game does not quite work and does not know how to take advantage of the interesting license and the controversial universe on which it claims to be based. As a result, we have a cooperative multiplayer action video game that tries to be original - and entertaining - but that pales greatly in comparison to other, much more notable options.

A very intense, yet very short game which will be enjoyed by action fans, even if they are not fans of the Warhammer universe. It is incredibly fun, but it lacks more duration and an online mode.
