    It's a pretty solid, old-school platformer, but also pretty simple, and sometimes borrows too much from other games. Still, it's a perfect choice if you're looking for a game to play with your son or your little brother.

    Hoard is a very fun multiplayer game, not only for the pleasure of becoming a dragon and terrorize villagers, but also for the intense and dynamic mechanics its gameplay offers.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Undoubtedly the most remarkable thing of the title is its gameplay system, based in dungeons with interchangeable parts, which will make us think fast to avoid being swallowed by the ever-changing levels. This is a very accountable title in the already large Nintendo DS portfolio.

    Nostalgia aside, there aren’t many things to enjoy in this game. It’s ok if you’re looking for a simple and accessible fighting game, but it should have done much more with the IP.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It is an outstanding way of kickstarting the series even though this episode has its ups and downs. Interesting and promising, In Too Deep seems to be making way for a better second episode.

    If you like the chivalry theme, this one will keep you playing for a little while. Simple but deep, fun and addictive, Rival Knights deserves a try.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Quite a decent HD revision of a classic which fans of the original game will like. It keeps its main formula and adds some new features to update the gameplay to current times. However, some aspects needed more polish, as the game turns out to be repetitive and is not very replayable.
    • 65 Metascore

    It's a good game if you haven't played another roguelike before, but if you have you'll find a quite simplified experience compared to the best examples of the genre.

    You have to have sense of humor and Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond does and helps the player have it. Its humour is well taken, and although it results limited to videogame fans, it helps us pass a good time while playing old formulas.

    Behind some good ideas there's a game that doesn't get to shine. Still, fans of the Star Wars franchise will enjoy the experience.

    Battlefront II is an excellent shooter thanks to its gameplay and a great amount of content. Yes, the loot boxes system may feel unfair, but it is an outstanding game overall.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This isn't a complicated experience, quite the opposite: the idea is to have a good time and burst out laughing when necessary. If we don't go that far, its cheerful and upbeat tone will surely help relieve tension when we need it most. In short, it's a proposal that, without being too complicated, makes life equally enjoyable and fun. Get the truck ready, we'll be out delivering.
    • 64 Metascore

    This is a bold and interesting proposal, although very buggy. But it will surprise many for its freshness and freedom.

    We would have liked to see some aspects better polished, but if you like the musou genre and the Gundam universe, you’ll definitely enjoy.

    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. But its virtue lies in the possibility to set up specific rules, and add additional extras to a basic formula, specially in online modes.

    Ultimately, if Secret Files was a surprise for its good presentation and story, this sequel was expected to follow its trail. However this Puritas Cordis shows it is not enough to reuse the same formula over and over.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Overall Spyborgs is a good game, although somewhat far from what Capcom promised. It is a fun game, although it becomes repetitive, above all by an unbalanced gameplay and the seldom sensation of not knowing well what is happening.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A really enjoyable game, with direct, simple yet universal fun for everyone, which increases with the number of players. There have been a lot of games like this on the Wii, but this Namco Bandai one is one of the best.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This is a very limited title that can’t hide its mobile origins. The lack of similar titles on Switch leave Gear.Club Unlimited as an acceptable options for racing fans, though.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite its technical flaws this is a great adventure game, very fun and with many hour of durability.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A correct adaptation to HD hardware, but the lack of additions and not including the second episode of the series make us recommend it exclusively to those nostalgic gamers who miss playing those PS2 titles.

    Dusk Diver mix of RPG and action works and keeps you entertained, but unfortunately doesn’t bring anything new to the table.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Conduit 2 is a good action game which fills a gap in the Wii games library, with great controls and good gameplay. It lacks that extra quality which would turn it into one of the best games in its genre, but its campaign and multiplayer mode offer quite a lot of fun.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    We appreciate the attempt to bring new ideas to the genre, but they don't really fit well together. Still, if you're looking for a action multiplayer-based game this could be an option.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Jedi Outcast still is a great game, although some of its aspects haven’t aged too well. However, Star Wars fans will definitely enjoy this title if they’re feeling nostalgic.

    Electronic Arts has proved how to make a good use of a character license, offering hours of fun and a magic world to explore.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Federation Force can be fun, and it is actually fun played with friends. The problem is that it's short and forgettable, and if you're planning on playing alone, it doesn't have much to offer.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This Shadow of the Beast won't have the impact the original had, but we've enjoyed going back to its universe. It's meant to be played focusing on its combat and record system, because otherwise it feels a little bit dull.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It works well and it's a good film-based game, however it doesn't add anything original to the genre.

    Blade Arcus is a very solid and enjoyable fighting game, particularly recommended for those who love Shining Hearts, Shining Blade and Shining Resonance.

    Beyond the interesting interactive story, this adaptation of Vertigo doesn’t do it justice to the original film –nor to itself.

    Despite its graphics, which could have been better, Phantasy Star Portable is a noteworthy action and RPG game, and it won't disappoint hardcore series followers.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This game has a lot of potential and some well-developed features, but it is not deep enough to become relevant in any of the genres it relies on. Still, it might be worth trying if you’re aware of its issues.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    The similarities with Super Meat Boy are undeniable, but that aside, League of Evil is fun and challenging, and it's good choice if you don't mind its lack of originality.

    Omen of Sorrow is a quite interesting fighting game with some original ideas, but its gameplay and cast have quite a lot to improve.

    Stonefly is a game full of good ideas and intentions, that unfortunately fails to execute them well.
    • 64 Metascore

    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.

    This expansion feels fresh and better than the main game. If you enjoyed Saints Row III or IV, you should try it.

    • 72 Critic Score
    Crytek has delivered a visually impressive title, very immersive and interesting, although the VR limitations, the pricing and the potential motion sickness related to free movement are also worth considering. In any case, it’s a game any PSVR should try to see the potential of the headset.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Microsoft Flight is a good game especially aimed for those newcomers to the genre who want to learn to fly. However, those veterans who are looking for a deep simulator may get dissapointed by the simplicity of the game. Its free-to-play approach is good news, although the content if very limited for those not willing to pay.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    A great movie translated to a great videogame. A fun, complete and lasting game, which blends beat'em up and sandbox gameplay and shows great visuals. It can become repetitive and it is not very challenging for seasoned players, but it is a great game for Batman fans.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Fatal Bullet isn't perfect, but it's a very enjoyable game thanks to its well-designed core mechanics. If you like SAO, you'll enjoy this game.

    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.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    After two years we can finally get this decent adaptation of the franchise to Nintendo DS. The formula is still working as then, although the technical limitations have caused the game to lose some of that "personal touch" Pendulo Studios gave to the original.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A more than decent entry in the series, although below the excellent Hot Pursuit of last year. It is a good idea to propose a coast-to-coast trip through the USA, and we'll see some iconic places, although the story is not that attractive.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A game only recommended for fans of the series, who will find the addition of a two-player option for every mode, and the interesting Legend mode. But to enjoy the story you must have the original game, so this stand-alone expansion will be enjoyed by those who acquired Dynasty Warriors 7, and those who didn't would rather start there.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's nothing new, but it's fun and addictive, with an old-school feel that will definitely be enjoyed by retro action fans.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It is not the Silent Hill you have been expecting for a decade, but it is not as bad as the most pessimist predicted. If you liked Homecoming you should give Downpour a chance, and although part of the story is predictable and the horror aspect has plenty of room to improve, the game is an interesting one and ultimately delivers, although far from the best times of the series.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Even though once you get to know how it works it's fun, the first impression isn't too positive, since it feels chaotic and confusing. Also, we would love to have more content to add variety to the experience.

    NUTS has managed to capture us with a surprising and thorough approach to investigation in its unique world. It’s heartwarmingly tedious, and all its parts work incredibly well together.

    A good installment of the classic saga for Nintendo consoles, resulting in a very interesting experience that allows us to fight everywhere. It includes the 3D movie, which looks great, but has limited content and a control system that fails sometimes.

    • 65 Critic Score
    The official game of the Olympics offers exactly what to expect: lots of sports with a simple and direct gameplay. Its control has improved in comparison with previous olympic efforts, but it still has its issues, and motion controls are not that convincing. This SEGA game delivers what users want, but nothing else.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    It works, and offers an engaging experience, even though there are no particular reasons to choose the PS4 version over any other you might have already played.
    • 64 Metascore

    It's a very peculiar game, definitely not for everyone, but it tells two very interesting stories: the story of the game itself and that of the origins of Grasshopper Manufacture.

    A good shooting game, but not as good as the N64 original. Shares some of its features and it is a good game, but not a heir.

    Echoes of Time is a good sequel of this particular universe within the Final Fantasy franchise. If we can forgive the technical aspect of the title, we have to remark this is one of the few action RPG games with online mode, which is interesting given the fact that online play is dominated by third-person or first-person shooters.

    God of War: Sons of Sparta is an entertaining metroidvania spin-off that deepens Kratos's lore through a compelling coming-of-age story and faithful genre mechanics. However, despite its ambition and engaging exploration, the game suffers from noticeable performance issues, a combat system that feels somewhat basic, and unpolished platforming, leaving it feeling unrefined.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is still a recommended game for Japanese RPG lover, but the strange gameplay and some of its aspects should make experienced players think twice this acquisition.

    It's exactly what a karting game should be, using the F1 license to appeal a wider audience. It's not the best karting game out there, but showing no weaknesses is a great reason to give it a try.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Perfect for those who're looking for simple and plain action that will leave you exhausted. There are few additions compared to the original release, but it is indeed the best option to relive or to discover this frenetic series.

    Little Town Hero has some good ideas, but it doesn’t develop them well. Because of this, it struggles to keep the player engaged after a few hours. And it’s a shame, because it had a lot of potential.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Despite its flaws, we have to say we have a more than decent title here, heir to a legacy of classic survival horror elements and an example of what Silent Hill should be in this generation. Although the final result is not so awesome, this is a good opportunity to return to that silent village.

    EDF delivers more fun, as strange as it gets. You know is going to be weak on the technical side, but it's really strong when it comes to entertain. If you're ok with its weaknesses, it's a game you should try.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This is a title aimed at players who want a peaceful adventure, where exploring is the key. If you're a more experience player looking for something challenging or deep, you might have to look elsewhere.

    Although the shooter market is crowded with many titles, Nexuiz has some interesting new features that make it diferent. It doesn't try to compete with the likes of Call of Duty or Battlefield, but is a fun, quick and ever changing game, recommended for those looking for something different.

    LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 delivers what it aims to: offer fun for everyone, regardless their age. If you can buy the home console of PC version there are not many reasons to recommend this version, as it lacks the multiplayer elements.

    Gal Gun is clearly aimed at the Japanese audience, so you probably know if it's a game you can enjoy. Its gameplay, no matter if you like the concept, is quite weak anyway.
    • 64 Metascore

    There is no doubt there are good intentions behind this game, but there are no aspects worth highlighting. Still, it works for as long as it lasts.
    • 64 Metascore

    Macross is a modest shoot'em up that offers a fan service-heavy experience but fails to stand out with its repetitive gameplay and lacklustre design. While it offers difficulty adjustments and some nostalgic elements, it doesn’t offer anything particularly memorable compared to other genre entries.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Overall this is a good game for playing with friends, with lots of comic situations and a potential for high competitiveness between the players. However, its gameplay can become too simple and repetitive for some players.

    A greatly polished, different game that relies on a well-known mechanic. If you're a fan of the anime and enjoy hack 'n' slash games it's fully recommendable. Also it's worth considering if you like either the series or the genre, but if One Piece or hack 'n' slash games are not your first choice, make sure you try it before you buy it.

    A decent rally game, and the only simulator, considering the arcade path the Colin McRae/DIRT series has taken.

However, its outdated visuals will disappoint many.
