    The sequel expands with open-world exploration, deep customization, and enjoyable co-op combat that shines against massive enemies, but it suffers from repetitive missions, weak storytelling, poor visuals, and uninspired environments that highlight its limited budget.

    Remedy's first multiplayer shooter offers a refreshing, old-school approach with no seasonal grind and entertaining co-op gameplay in short bursts, but it's held back by limited content, repetitive missions, weak solo play, and a lack of the studio's usual narrative strengths.

    James Bond followers will find an adventure which respects carefully the franchise canon, but the rest will just see an above average action game with no innovative features but great competitors.

    The game experience is so fun that its few flaws turn smaller in a game that is probably one of the best of the WiiWare.
    • 65 Metascore

    Although it has a good and interesting multiplayer, the main single-player adventure is not that interesting, and its gameplay is too limited.

    The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered offers a faithful remaster of the original adventure, enhancing visuals and performance while maintaining its timeless aesthetic. Despite some graphical discrepancies and intrusive combat interface, the game delivers improved resolution and music quality, making it a worthwhile experience for fans seeking to revisit this classic JRPG.

    With some more polish, Eat Them could have become one of the best in its genre, but its high difficulty and the imprecise controls turn it into a tedious experience.

    Trillion: God of Destruction is an experimental RPG, so it gets a few things right but misses a few others. Still, if you connect to the characters, it's a good adventure that feels original within the genre.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Even though it's far from the great graphic adventures, it's a good game that deserves some attention, and builds a solid foundations for, maybe, next episodes to come.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    This is a great remaster of the original Master System game, which updates the graphics but not the gameplay. This will be great for fans of the original, but not so much for those who expected a game that looks and feels new.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A good game with not too many weaknesses or too many strengths, which is something that will make it hard to be highlighted among the rest of the puzzle games on Steam. It's entertaining, properly done and its gameplay usually works, even though it might become quite frustrating sometimes. It is worth recommending for the puzzle lovers, and there's a demo available in case you want to try it yourself first.
    • 65 Metascore

    As long as you expect a light RPG, both in game mechanics and story, it's indeed enjoyable, but there are better options out there.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    As usual, this is the best choice if you haven't played the game yet. It still has some flaws, but the amount of content SAO delivers is incredibly large that if you like the concept it will be definitely worth your money.
    • 65 Metascore

    Platforming, puzzles and exploration that shine thanks to the love the developers have put into this game, which transpires through the adventure.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The series is trying something new with this game, and some fans are going to love it, and some others are going to hate it. We enjoyed having something different, but it has its flaws and sometimes its ambition turns against it.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This title has some room for improvement, but those who spend time with it will find a challenging and accessible strategy game.
    • 65 Metascore

    This game may be considered a direct port of the popular game mode, however it is a very addictive experience, with an online mode that works very well.
    • 65 Metascore

    It's a "evolution simulation" quite interesting, and although it has its flaws, it works quite well. A good choice for fans of the genre.

    The return of the Prince to PSP is good, although controls may turn down some, and maybe it lacks some depth in its proposal.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A good game that respects the gameplay of the EyePet series and improves on it. Maybe some players might find it limited, because there are no more objectives that to have fun with our lovely creature. But there are plenty of options and features to discover, and the use of PlayStation Move is great.
    • 65 Metascore

    Apart from being too similar to the game it's based on, The Escapists: TWD delivers a great experience that fans of the TV show will enjoy.

    Martha is Dead is a solid choice for horror fans… as long as they’re happy with some disgusting moments.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    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.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    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.

    • 79 Critic Score
    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
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    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.

    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

    It works well and it's a good film-based game, however it doesn't add anything original to the genre.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This cozy masterpiece redefines survival through a brilliant modular construction system and a breathtaking, stress-free atmosphere.
