    Cooking Mama 3 doesn't offer anything really new in content, although it's true it has some more game options in comparison with the preview games, and a good number of new recipes, which fans series would appreciate.

    Ash of Gods is an interesting strategy-based RPG, but it’s a step below many of its competitors. If you’ve played them all already and you still want more, it can be a good choice.

    Lego Battles is a simple strategy game, not very original in its conception, although it has an important factor which can help it to succeed: the LEGO franchise.

    Slender gets bigger and better. A great survival horror that only lacks some deeper gameplay mechanics, but still a game fans of the original Slender game will love.

    Kirby Fighters 2 is a good game if you’re going to play with four players. It you’re not, the lack of depth becomes apparent and the novelty wears out quite soon.

    An ideal game for newcomers to the genre and for all those who want to enjoy a good story, full of mysteries and intrigue. Its only flaws are the short duration of the adventure and its low difficulty.

    In general terms, Remember Me works, but it's extremely easy and the new ideas and mechanics don't offer a remarkable addition. We would love to have a sequel in which all these issues are polished and fixed because the universe Dontnod has created is full of possibilities.

    A new episode meant for fans of the series that brings some steps forward for the multiplayer, and some steps back for the campaign. It is not the revolution the gameplay needs, but still holds lots of hours of fun.

    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.

    Although it's not one of the most original titles of the year in terms of concepts, nor one of the games which stand out for its technical aspects in the console portfolio, No Gravity: The Plague of Mind is an enjoyable and entertaining game which will please shoot'em up fans.

    It is a nice surprise, particularly if you can get it for free with PS Plus. It delivers some fun, based on some original mechanics, and we think that, if you're a PS Plus user, it deserves a try.

    A good game with some innovative features, although unfortunately it doesn't include a multiplayer mode, and gets repetitive soon.

    Its atmosphere, concept and overall proposal are of great quality, but it fails in some little things, and sometimes those little things are very important.

    Tower defense games usually make the most of an addictive form of gameplay, consisting in increasingly powerful waves of enemies. Dillon's Rolling Western does that greatly, but fails in control, which makes the experience less than pleasant. Anyway, the game is a good and fun one, although not very replayable.

    A great adaptation, not only on the touch side, but also with physical buttons. A good platformer that leaves in-app purchases behind, and still addictive and quite hard.

    A good idea, as there are plenty of great games made by Capcom in the XBLA marketplace. This selection has somewhat mixed quality. The best are Super Puzzle Fighter II, Super Street Fighter II and Final Fight, and the others are not that good, but it is a good chance to enjoy some Capcom digital classics if you haven't downloaded them previously.

    Climax's new game doesn't do anything outstanding, but it is quite enjoyable overall, and brings back a sport we've missed in our consoles. If you've missed it too, you should probably give it a try.

    Madden NFL 24 is a great game limited by a series of small issues that significantly affect the experience. While certain issues have been resolved and clear improvements are seen in the gameplay, the game modes and menus either remain the same or are worse and, along with some small hiccups that persists, limit the game's potential.

    Dontnod needs to take a break and look at what made Life is Strange great. Twin Mirror is a game that feels empty, that merely tells a story that we’ve seen a thousand times.

    It's not the definitive game based on the Olympic Games, but it's a step forward from the previous edition. A fair amount of sports and a gameplay solid enough to be really enjoyable with friends is probably all we can ask, and that is delivered.

    TOHU is beautiful and charming, but its execution is a bit flawed. It doesn’t make the most of its dual character gameplay, and the puzzles feel arbitrary and confusing.

    Random Heroes is a very, very entertaining game, as well as fresh and simple. This are, at least in our opinion, its best features. It stays true, offers us many levels and weapons and the classic feeling –and graphics– of the old school. Reasonable price and many hours of fun.

    First of all, hats off to TFE for bringing Burnout back. It’s a shame the budget is holding back the experience, and some key aspects, like the handling or the physics need some tweaking. A few patches could make it noticeably better, and we hope for a sequel where everything comes together.
    • 65 Metascore

    Even though there's no a huge evolution from the previous episodes, it does advance, and brings enough content and additions to become one of the best episodes of the franchise.

    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.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Although the game still is great and they have done a great job upgrading it to current resolutions, the lack of the original expansions makes it feel incomplete.

    The strategic action and management combination that The Godfather 2 proposes is a remarkable formula, but also risky. Maybe it won't be able to convince gamers looking for an action game, nor those looking for strategy, but our feeling is that ultimately this is an action game -a good one- with interesting strategy elements, more than the contrary.

    Ultimately a great arcade racing game that celebrates Sonic's 20th anniversary on iOS. A bit pricey, but worth it.

    It's more than a simple 'hidden objects' game, it's a tribute some nostalgic players will appreciate. On the top of that, it's a very interesting title that will keep us busy for a long while.

    Its different aspects are not outstanding, but it does work pretty well as a whole, and made us have a lot of fun with a very 16bit-ish experience.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a very simple concept, but it works well and gets really addictive. If you're looking for a game that is just that, a game, this one is a great option.

    As a puzzle game it's pretty average, but how it deals with surrealism and the experience we get from it it's definitely unique. A hypothetical sequel could be really good.

    Vostok Inc. is strange in a good way and fun, but not for long. It has some interesting ideas, but it needs to be deeper to keep the player entertained for more than a couple of hours.

    Spelunker Party! is long, challenging and fun, no matter if you want to play alone or with friends. It could have more diverse levels or more options, but it still is a very solid choice.

    Weakless is a slow-paced puzzle adventure that will be particularly engaging for those players who want to take a break and relax while gaming. It’s beautiful and intriguing, and it’s a great choice to sit back and relax with your controller.

    A game inspired by the classics of the 90s, with a great atmosphere, level design, and exploration, but also with some flaws, such as an uneven combat, some obtuse design choices, and a questionable save system. It is a very old-school experience, for better and for worse, that can captivate and frustrate in equal measure.

    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.

    Codemasters has focused on the gameplay and the visuals and has left behind the some content available in the previous episodes of the series. If you're aware of it and ok with that, then you'll get a pretty good F1 game.

    If you like Monopoly you'll like Monopoly Streets. But it you like it, you will probably already have the table-top game at home, and would prefer to play it without watching a television.

    Darkspore barely has any relation with Spore, apart from borrowing some of its concepts. It is simpler than Spore, and may dissapoint those who seek a direct sequel of that game, but it is still a good game.

    The mecha-based extraction shooter offers a unique take on the genre with strategic, weighty gameplay and deep customization, but its repetitive missions, grind-heavy progression, and premium monetization elements hold it back from reaching its full potential.

    • 68 Critic Score
    It tries to bring back everything that made the original game a masterpiece, but fails to do so. There are some good ideas, but the implementation is poor, just like the level design and difficulty. It does manage to entertain, but there are better options on 3DS.
