    Rearmed 2 is a more than correct sequel of a great series, a must-have for series followers and for videogame nostalgics, although it is not as surprising as the previous Rearmed title.

    This is exactly what it looks like: a relaxing fishing game. If you’re looking for an experience like that, Moonglow Bay is a good option.

    If you've played other versions you won't find major differences here apart from some visual upgrades, but it holds up pretty well, and it still offers a good balance between the classic and the modern Resident Evil games.

    Planetbase is a game with personality, a challenging experience where, if you fail, it's probably because you've done something wrong.
    • 67 Metascore

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

    If you're looking for a "medieval life simulator", a different, challenging experience when approaching this setting, check this one out. It has some issues and needs some polishing, but we like what it wants to do, and we hope the developers find the way to bring the best out of it.

    This is a fresh experience in the free-to-play scene, even though we need to wait and see whether Ubisoft offers enough support to make our time feel well spent on it.

    There's a lot of room for improvement, but still it's a great action platformer that those looking for a challenge will definitely enjoy.

    Lapis x Labyrinth is enjoyable and charming, although it has a fair amount of issues that can make it feel repetitive or shallow rather sooner than later.
    • 54 Metascore

    Despite its polarizing price, this interactive and educational tour offers a surprisingly thorough and entertaining way to explore the new console's hardware through detailed explanations, minigames, and technical demos, though some content may be inaccessible without specific accessories and the format can become tiring if rushed.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As a puzzle game, it is original, macabre and fun, but it's also quite short, so we have to trust the developer's promise of expanding the experience. Still, it deserves a try.
    • 78 Metascore

    Swery's touch keeps the whole adventure interesting, although many issues regarding its control make it hard to enjoy sometimes. It is definitely unique, but it needs some polishing.

    Heron Steam Machine is an above average puzzle game for WiiWare, that is worth trying for its price, specially for its multiplayer mode.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A visually striking and immersive VR puzzle adventure that effectively captures a sense of wonder, despite its simplistic gameplay and story that fails to fully integrate with the player's actions. While it offers varied puzzles inspired by classics like Myst and Portal, it lacks depth and can feel like a theme park ride rather than a true archaeological adventure. However, its short length and accessible difficulty make it an excellent introduction to VR for younger audiences.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As a remaster it is really good, but the game itself wasn't perfect back in the day, and all these years hadn't helped either. Still, it's the best way to play it if you haven't yet or if you feel nostalgic.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although it's easy and short, the visual style, the plot, the narrative and the lovecraftian themes make Conarium a very interesting adventure.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a good fun, except for those who look for something that feels like the first episode in the series. It's less RPG and more action, but if you're OK with that, it deserves a try.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A simple, fun and perfectly executed idea, both visually and when it comes to the gameplay. It's surprising how something that simple can be that fun, but it ends up becoming repetitive. It can last way longer if we stick to the multiplayer modes, though.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This cozy adventure delivers a visually stunning and relaxing journey through nature, anchored by an endearing protagonist. While the atmosphere and lighting create a masterful sense of place, the experience suffers from repetitive mechanics and a brief four-hour runtime. It remains a charming, didactic stress-reliever despite its limited ambition.

    I-Fluid is a very good puzzle and platforming game. Its first approach is very interesting, as the development of most of the missions, which will make thinks very difficult for us more than twice.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a nice way to tell an interactive story, and even though not everyone will grow fond of it, it's worth a try.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It works as a Micro Machines spiritual successor, but we recommend to try it first, since it might doesn't appeal those who doesn't feel that nostalgic or no longer play with friends offline.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    I Am Alive has finally arrived, and although it isn't the game it was promised to be some years ago, this is still a good action and platforming game in a post-apocalyptic world with a well-told, yet a bit generic, story and good gameplay mechanics.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Even though it's been a little while since it appeared on other platforms, it works really well on 3DS, and becomes a concept that does fit as a portable experience.

    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.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 60 Metascore

    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.
    • tbd Metascore

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It joins the overburdened genre of the endless runners, but it's an option to take into account thanks to its unique personality.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
