    Just Dance is back with new songs and more moves. It doesn’t bring anything particularly new, but it's still fun.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good game overall, but with some flaws: a somewhat confusing story and some repetitive moments in gameplay, extending too much some stages. A good option both for younger people and more mature gamers who want a challenge.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is not a game for everyone because of its difficulty, but if you bother to understand its gameplay, it will end up rewarding the player.

    A noteworthy successor to games like Mashed and Micromachines. If you like this blend of shooting and driving, it is a very interesting buy, although its single-player mode is quite short and not very replayable.

    Battlegrounds is a fun little game for WWE fans. It lacks the depth of other brawlers, although if you like the competition it is based on we think you’ll enjoy it.

    This is more an adaptation and more polished version than a proper director’s cut, but it is definitely an improved version for those who haven’t played it yet.
    • 64 Metascore

    A solid classic RPG that doesn’t really do anything outstanding, but enjoyable if you like the universe.

    Technical issues aside, we've really enjoyed Syberia 3, thanks to its good story, memorable characters, clever puzzles and an outstanding art direction.

    Stormrise produces an odd sensation: the ideas it proposes are very good for the most part, and its approach could have caused a new milestone in the genre, and set the way for the others to follow, taking advantage of its control. But the execution hasn't resulted so convincing.

    Whilst its core is that of a regular shooter, its fantastic production values and its love for RoboCop makes it a very fun game, particularly for those who enjoy the franchise.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite a solid core with improved physics, responsive controls, and immersive DualSense features, the game falls short with its limited game modes, average visuals, and lack of accessibility for newcomers.

    Again, a great episode on the narrative side, but the technical limitations are playable shortcomings are getting hard to ignore.

    It doesn’t have too many additions, but ti brings the best of the series. If you like the Picross puzzles, then you already know if this game is for you.

    This episode brings some really nice additions, but we also miss some of the removed features. Not the best game of the franchise, but still enjoyable.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is an enjoyable game and a good option, specially if you are fan of the characters.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A game that leaves mixed sensations. It is fun and quite original, and is challenging for some times. But after the first hours it gets too repetitive, and it lacks a multiplayer mode or even online rankings. It is enjoyable and fun, and also well made, but the idea becomes limited quickly.
    • 68 Metascore

    Stirkers Edge is a game with a very classic arcade feeling. If you want something like that, particularly focused on the multiplayer, this can be a good option.

    Boomerang X is a very unique shooter where you use a boomerang. Clever and well design, it is a good option if you’re looking for something different and familiar at the same time.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Devil’s Hunt doesn’t try to do anything new, but we’ve had a great time with it. It’s like a game that has been trapped in time, and maybe that’s the reason why we’ve enjoyed it –if you’re looking for something original or more unique, you won’t find it here.
    • 76 Metascore

    Röki is a heartwarming adventure, that relies on its beautiful art design to offer a traditional point & click experience.

    Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment is a very good options for genre fans looking for a tactic RPG title direct and entertaining.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Black the Fall is a very interesting title inspired by games like Limbo or Inside, but it has with its own features. The trial and error based puzzles can be quite exasperating, but the overall experience is worth it.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a good racing game but its design has some flaws, specially in the tracks. Its scarce variety is evident although the game tries to hide it.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It joins the overburdened genre of the endless runners, but it's an option to take into account thanks to its unique personality.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a fun and beautiful platformer that, even if it doesn’t really shine, it’s enjoyable and can be a good option to play with players who are not looking for a challenge.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Torchlight is an interesting game that mixes action and RPG elements. It is addictive and entertaining, yet sometimes repetitive, but we expected more from this port, which lacks competitive and cooperative online play.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fun and adrenaline are the main features of this universal app that relies on a great control –based on our reflexes– and a simple gameplay. It borrows from a lot of movies to create a somehow surprising setting, and if we don't need too many options, The Last Driver is indeed a good choice for whenever we feel like playing something random for a short time.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a roguelite with a great combat system, really tight controls and beautiful art style, but its novelty wears off sooner that we would have liked.

    Virginia wants to tell a story, and that's what it does. It's not an unforgettable one, but if you're happy with it, it's not a bad option.

    Little Dragons Cafe is a game targeted at a younger audience, and we think it succeeds in delivering a good experience for them. More experienced players won't find them that enjoyable, but we think it's entertaining anyway.
    • 64 Metascore

    Those who have tried and enjoyed the games from the Bit.Trip series should go for this Lilt Line. It is not as great as those games, but its formula is addictive and challenging.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As a self-contained episode, it's good and fun; as a season finale, disappointing. This episode isn't bad, but this isn't the best Telltale either.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As a free app will bring us many hours of fun, even though there's still room for improvement. If a later update brings us those missing elements –like multiplayer modes– you can add some extra points to the mark. So far, recommended for big LEGO fans.

    A good approach to tennis made by Electronic Arts that offers the four official Grand Slam and a career mode which should have been more complex. It has several control options that will satisfy everyone.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There are many good ideas here that fit very well into the gameplay. It might not be too original, but it's fun and well-balanced. It still has some aspects to polish, but seams like a good start.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Champions is focused on multiplayer, and that’s where it shines. It would’ve been good to have a few more options for single player, but if you’re interested in the more competitive side of Puyo Puyo, don’t miss it.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Top Darts may seem limited, but it is implicit to this genre: throw the darts following the different rules. It makes a good implementation of the touch controls and although it is not the most impressive game of PSVITA, it can provide for some hours of fun.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kingdoms of Amalur returns with a barebones remaster that gives a second chance to those who missed it when it was released, even if it fails to provide a reason to rediscover it.

    Haven is an experimental adventure that we recommend to those players who want to play something different, even if some of its decisions regarding game design might seem a bit questionable.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a quite enjoyable action RPG with some Minecraft-ish ideas in it. It doesn't make the most of its concept, but it's not a bad option, particularly with friends.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a humble game, with a nice design and a lot of effort put into it. It's a very interesting idea, but it needs more and better explanations of its mechanics.
    • 81 Metascore

    Exo One is a great experience with a great concept, although sometimes its own level design can feel detrimental to its own success.

    Wattam is a unique game that feels targeted to a younger audience. It’s fun with friends, but sometimes we wished it had a more "video-game-y" feeling to it.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The combat system works pretty well, but we have to deal with a quite linear experience. On the top of that is quite hard, so if you are ok with being linear and you are looking for a challenge, it definitely deserves a try.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It manages to become very addictive, and covers its weaknesses –like the visuals– with a great gameplay.
    • 66 Metascore

    Its gameplay is delicious and shows us how to make the most of a simple concept through 70 levels that last for hours.

    No More Heroes is back with another extravagant adventure made for its fans. It is a good game that improves over the previous entries, but very poor on the technical side.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    Fun and engaging in cooperative play, Ready, Steady, Ship! offers good ideas and entertaining moments, but its mission design and occasional bugs detract from the overall experience.

    This is an interesting new entry in the popular series, but unfortunately it starts to feel too repetitive too soon.

    Chimparty is a fun and crazy game you should try if you enjoy PlayLink with friends. It isn’t the best party game, but you’ll have a good time with it.

    AWAY is a enjoyable roguelite in 3D, quite charming and fun. It has some issues, like its combat, but overall it’s a good option for fans of the genre.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Daymare: 1998 is a very interesting homage to the 128-bit era survival horror games, even if it struggles a bit technically on PS4. If you understand you’re going to play an indie tribute and not the next AAA horror game, you will have a good time with it.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This climbing roguelike features procedurally generated levels and creative challenges that leverage physics for a fun and engaging experience, despite its unintuitive controls and occasional frustrating bugs. The whimsical visual style and humorous design add charm, but the game is more suited for solo play rather than cooperative sessions.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A fun endless runner that does its job. Apart from expanding the League of Legends universe, it doesn’t offer anything particularly interesting.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The vehicular multiplayer chaos of Speed Freeks offers fun and originality, particularly in its strongest mode, but suffers from a lack of content, repetitive maps, and a questionable shift to a premium model that feels more like early access.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Darksiders III is a very enjoyable game, with many good things, but also many ups and downs. It’s a step back compared to its predecessors, but fans of the franchise should give it an opportunity.

    Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is, broadly speaking, a next-gen port of the version we enjoyed more than a decade ago. Its logical graphical improvement (4K, 60 FPS) offers some contrasts and generally leaves behind the feeling that it could have offered something more; it keeps its sense of humor and roguelike approach intact, but it doesn't offer any great innovations beyond a "Plus" game mode. Although we regret that the original vision of Suda51 was not offered, the truth is that this is the best opportunity to enjoy the peculiar adventure of García Hotspur and Johnson, characterized by its B-series touch and its constant cinematic nods. If you've never tried it, this is your chance. If you did before, it's never a bad time to enjoy this duo again and their journey to the depths of the Underworld.

    Maneater is one of those arcade games we miss. It’s just pure fun, with a fantastic documentary-like narrative that makes playing it more enjoyable. It gets quite repetitive, though, as the mission design isn’t very diverse, but if you pace yourself you can make this flaw more bearable.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is not the perfect Kinect game, as it share some implementation flaws with several other games that use motion detection, but it is an original and fun game which will make you relax and laugh.

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

    It takes a little too much to reward the player for its progresses, but it's a really enjoyable adventure for fans of the series. If you like the first Digimon World for PSX, you'll like this one.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Many of us grew up playing these games, and it’s great to have them available on newer platforms. The arcade titles have aged quite well, although it feels quite pricey.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Yes, these versions are clearly superior to the ones we saw on consoles and you can justify your purchase again if you love the series or if you have been curious about Crytek games, but the improvements are rather small and in essence it is the PC version with other lighting.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    The foundations for Pokkén Tournament are solid, but there are some issues (such as the amount of content or the lack of depth of its combat system after many battles) that should be addressed. Still, a fighting game with Pokémon is attractive enough to forget about some of those weaknesses.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Virtually there are no differences from the PC version of the game, but it still is fun and entertaining.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As a game it still has its ups and downs, but it is the best version so far, and a good wait to keep ourselves entertained while we wait for a real sequel.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a step forward for the series rather than a revolution. There are indeed some improvements, but it's probably recommended for those looking for these strategic elements included. Otherwise, you might want to keep an eye on Dynasty Warriors 8.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Skull & Bones offers engaging naval combat and exploration, but falls short in other areas compared to its predecessor, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. While it lacks depth in its on-land gameplay and suffers from some unpolished elements, it still provides enjoyable adventures on the high seas with its ship customization and combat mechanics.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It lacks the emotion of the main episodes of the game, and also it's quite short. However, it feels like a good way to taste what it's yet to come.

    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.

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

    Even though it's enjoyable, there's nothing particularly relevant or outstanding in Mighty No. 9. We've had fun with it, but it's technically poor and its level design is quite uninspired –definitely not what you would expect from such a successful Kickstarter and Inafune.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Maid of Sker isn’t very original – just another first-person stealth-based horror game, but it knows how to create a terrifying atmosphere, how to tell an interesting story and how to offer a classic, Resident Evil-like stage design. If you’re not looking for a revolution, but just a good horror indie game, this is a good choice.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It holds fun for a few hours, even though it might end up being a little boring. However, we think its price reasonably matches its content.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's surprising and satisfying, but definitely not for everyone. Actually, it's not a standard game and not even close to World of Goo. Recommended for those who enjoyed games like Doodle God or simply love that "special something" Tomorrow's Corporation's titles have.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    Rescue Team DX is a good remake, but some of the decisions made make the game simpler and easier, breaking the balanced difficulty of the original. Still, if you like this approach to the Pokémon world, you’ll enjoy it.

    State of Decay is one of the best survival games we've played lately, and if you haven't played it yet, you definitely should. Still, even though the tweaks and the new content is appreciated, we think this version should have pushed further the Xbox One possibilities.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you haven't played it yet, having it on PC is a good chance to do so, since it's a unique experience with Suda51's "seal of weirdness". The adaptation from console to PC isn't as good as you might expect, though.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It’s always good to have classic franchises like this back, even if it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. If you miss this series, you’ll have a as good time with it.

    We Happy Few is great when it works, but it not always does it. It’s a game with a great foundation that has clearly been rushed. It’s already a good game, but after a few patches it should be a much more recommendable experience.
