    As a fishing game, Monster of the Deep is actually quite fun, with many ways of enjoying fishing. Yes, there are probably better ways to bring FFXV to VR, but if you enjoyed fishing in the main game, give this a try.

    If you've already played it there are not too many reasons to get it again. If not, you'll find a game with some errors that cannot hide its portable origins, but still enjoyable if you're looking for more Assassin's Creed.

    This games does some things right, but the pace and some puzzles artificially hard leaves a bittersweet taste. Still, it's recommended if you accept its weak spots.

    Overall, it doesn’t do anything particularly new, but it’s very enjoyable on PS VR. It is quite short, but also intense.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It works as a classic point & click adventure, although it feels a little bit short. If you're just looking for a game of this genre, it's worth a try.

    Dex
    Dex delivers an interesting story and a solid gameplay, but there are some bugs and aspects with some room for improvement that prevent it from becoming a better experience.

    Tempo becomes a victim of its own idea. It's such a spectacular experience that forgets about what makes a game fun: the gameplay.
    • 62 Metascore

    It may feel very repetitive, but overall it’s an enjoyable, beautiful adventure with a nice story to tell.

    Conan Unconquered has a nice foundation, and the first few hours aren’t bad, but after a while we find its shallow and repetitive nature.
    • 62 Metascore

    Apart from the exclusive designs created for the game, fans of the movie will not find anything particularly relevant in this title focused on in-app purchases.

    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.

    • 63 Critic Score
    The only reason why we would recommend this game is if you’re looking for an erotic pinball. Other than that, it’s a game with strange physics and not a lot of content, which makes other pinballs out there a better option.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As a game experience, it is an interesting product which distinguishes itself from other better-selling videogames, but its main shortcoming is its short durability.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good game that borrows some inspiration from the big platforming games. It has some issues, but there's loads of fun waiting to be had here.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    As a remaster, it is pretty good, but the game underneath still has its flaws, and some aspects (like the camera) are now worse than those in the original.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Small Radios Big Televisions is strange, but it absorbs you and won't let you go till you finish it. A dark story, well-executed (although simplistic) puzzles and a quite original art style.

    Kotodama is an entertaining visual novel, not very interactive, but ir does have some good ideas. If you like high-school stories, it can be a good choice.

    This year, the Switch version of MotoGP improves quite a lot, although there still are some important shortcomings. Some of them aren’t Milestone’s fault, like the Joy-Cons not being the best for racing games, and some other are, like the complete lack of multiplayer, both off and online.

    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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A compilation only recommendable for the series hardcore fans or for really nostalgic gamers.
    • 62 Metascore

    Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time is the best game in the series, and probably the best party game for people familiarized with videogames, as it is more complex than the rest.

    The wait to live as a dragon has been worth.

    Behind its protagonists' breasts, there's a game that offers fast and crazy action, and that will deliver entertainment and fun at its core.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's clearly conceived as a mobile title, but it still works. It could have offered more options or content, but if you want this kind of game on your Xbox One, it's the right choice.

    Ultimately, Starfield: Shattered Space is an expansion that delivers.

    Addressed to those who miss old-school, Micro Machine-ish racing games, Little Racers Street is a title that gets better as we progress, even though it fails to offer an attractive design or a local multiplayer mode.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Heroes over Europe is an enjoyable and entertaining title during the first hours, but in the long run it becomes increasingly repetitive and limited in its gameplay experience.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Nothing in it really shines, but it's definitely enjoyable, and the lack of arcade racers like this makes FlatOut 4 a good choice for fans for the genre.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A shoot'em up for everyone: simple with the red ship, hard with the blue one. It is based on repetition but also in surprising the player continuously.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Although the core gameplay is solid, it’s not as engaging as it should be, and all the excitement fades away after a few hours.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    There are some technical issues, but the game manages to be fun and entertaining, and offers loads of content to keep us playing for a long while.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This game offers fun without complications, and it may be fun for quick games of twenty minutes, but it lacks in extra modes and doesn't have an online component.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    A great alternative to the annual simulator, but there are some options missing (offline multiplayer, time attack) that should be included in this kind of title.

    Etherium is an RTS that sticks to the classic formula of the genre. It doesn't do anything particularly outstanding, but still works.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Warparty is a great game if you want to get started in the genre, but for those with more experience in strategy games, it would end up being too simplistic.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    We think Milestone should have put more effort into this game, since there are little additions compared to the previous edition. The foundations are great, and the game is pretty good indeed, but there's still a long way to go.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    Although this installment has achieved to overcome some of the control issues of the first game, and it also offers slightly better graphics than those one, it doesn't bring anything new to the series.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The best we can say about Death Rally for PC is that it is really addictive, and you can't stop running one race after another once started. It has few tracks and cars, only a game mode and very limited multiplayer options, but a simple and engaging gameplay. Its major flaw is that it is too limited and short in content, and some players will find it repetitive, but the price is worth a buy.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Three Fields Entertainment delivers a creative open-world racer with satisfying crashes, intuitive controls, and a fun building system that channels Burnout’s spirit, but its vast empty map and slow progression dilute the tension and excitement that once defined the series.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Lost Soul Aside delivers a visually impressive action experience with deep combat mechanics that improve as the game progresses, although its story is clichéd and the gameplay can feel inconsistent at times; while the game is ambitious for a small studio and offers engaging boss fights, some generic enemies, awkward camera, and minor technical issues hold it back from reaching its full potential.
    • 62 Metascore

    It's a shame Moon Hunters isn't more polished on the technical side since it's a very interesting game we've really enjoyed.

    This third entry works, but after so many years there are better options out there.

    • 79 Critic Score
    Not very original, but it brings loads of fun to the Sniper Elite V2 concept. It's more action-driven than the main series, but if you're looking for a game meant to be played with friends, this is one of the most interesting choices.
    • 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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The game does not excel in its genre and gets repetitive soon, and will only be interesting for series followers.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    There's nothing outstanding but there's nothing wrong either. If you're going to play with some friends, this beat 'em up offers some hours of fun.

    Worms hits the next generation with a good game, as fun as always and with a new clan system that expand its online features. However, the formula doesn't seem to evolve, so maybe the series deserves a rest.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even though there's nothing original here, the game as such works, and offers an enjoyable experience. We miss some coop mode, but still it's not a bad choice if you like "the Rabbids experience".
    • 62 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Splatterhouse will be liked by a very concrete type of player, who will be able to forgive its lack of variety in gameplay and have fun watching hundreds of litres of blood spread after every blow to the enemies.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Muscle March has unique aesthetics and personality, which is very praiseworthy, but its gameplay is somewhat limited.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    This is an interesting experiment that combines visual novel and platforming, and even if it works, it could have been so much better.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not a video game as such, but rather an essay on loneliness expressed through virtual means. We're glad to have experiences like this one, because it means the industry is growing up.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    It has some good ideas to reinvent the series and it tries to offer something different, but it has too many problems and falls far below Jagged Alliance 2. Its interface and awful AI make the game too limited.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Ultimately, this game won't make history for its theme, but it indeed has a good quantity of fun to offer.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A charming adventure, a great experience, that feels somehow constrained by its length and, in some points, its controls. However, we think it's a game you should consider if you like what it has to offer.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    We can't forget about all the issues the game has, but still we think it's a game made for Deadpool fans, and those fans should give it a try. At the end of the day it's fun and entertaining, and that's more that what many other titles out there can offer.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's a pretty decent RPG, even though its pieces don't really fit together. Still, it's a good experience if you know what you're buying.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are better dungeon crawlers out there, but this one has personality, and that’s hard to find. If you liked the sequel, this is a good time to enjoy the origins of the series.

    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.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    We appreciate the attempt of doing something original, but not all gameplay mechanics are well implemented, creating an experience that some times becomes way too confusing. Still, if you like the idea behind and you understand what pieces don't fit as they should, it deserves a try.
    • 62 Metascore

    2K builds a solid foundation for the franchise, with an outstanding amount of content and very solid gameplay. Also, visuals have evolved quite a lot, but animations haven't quite so much.
    • 62 Metascore

    It's better than most of the puzzle games on iOS, but we expected way more than this. Also, we miss a better looking presentation together with multiplayer modes.

    • 65 Critic Score
    The Little Acre is a game built on a very solid foundation, with great moments, but also very irregular, and it gets less interesting as we progress. It's not a bad game, but it does feel like a missed opportunity.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a really good multiplayer game, with few but interesting maps, and a good number of different gameplay modes. But it is also a limited game, like a small Battlefield, and doesn't have much new features.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you like RPGs and management, this is a pretty interesting option. It fails when it comes to certain aspects, like the combat, but overall it's very enjoyable.

    Star Wars Battlefront Elite Squadron is too linear in its development, and although it offers continuous action and has a good and well told story, it is not enough to make it a cult game.

    • 61 Metascore

    This is one of those games you can enjoy playing locally with your friends, but its lack of depth makes it less appealing for the long run.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This is a good game, as it already was when it was launched almost fifteen years ago, but its only new feature is the 3D view, without a graphic overhaul or anything else new.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Although the story is original and its combat and roleplaying gameplay is a good idea, there are things that doesn't work well. Roleplaying elements are well-made, but they are not that important, and combat lacks depth, and the enemy AI is limited. An average game that won't make history.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A noteworthy MX simulator which will entertain those who are not even fans of motorcycles, thanks to its thrilling and challenging races, although a bit short in content.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    This is a very original and fun game, with great ideas, but the lack of modes and Jason being too overpowered asks for some changes in the future. Still, very enjoyable for fans of the series, particularly if you're going to play it with friends.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Shaun White Skateboarding is a very unique skateboarding game, with an arcade style which is much more about platforming than about sport. Skateboarding fans will have mixed feellings. But its light story, accesible control and fantasy make it an interesting option for those who know well what to expect from this title.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Medieval Moves has a great idea that is not that very well executed. It makes the most of the PlayStation Move motion detection, but its gameplay is too limited and repetitive. Anyway, it is an enjoyable game, but we were expecting more from Zindagi Games, who have mastered PlayStation Move controls.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Hellbound is a classic shooter that works as a nice tribute that era, but falls short in many aspects. If you are looking for retro experience and you have already played the best ones, this can be a good option.

    A great adaptation from the console version, that maybe lacks some content. Sega has promised that will keep on updating the app and bringing new levels, so if they do, there's little to complain about.

    It's simple and it doesn't have much content, but it's also very accessible and a lot of fun when played with friends. And considering how cheap it is, you can't really ask for much more.

    It is still not as good as the genesis versions, and it doesn't is as good as the 2D stages of Sonic Generations, but it is still a very fun Sonic game. Maybe some players will consider the game a bit pricey, but it offers quite a lot of replayability.

    If you're ok with its price, then you can bring home 31 pieces of the history of video games, pretty well adapted to HDTVs, with trophies/achievements, ranking boards and no loading screens. However, we miss some kind of information about the titles included.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Until the multiplayer mode arrives, this game feels like a visual modification of some other similar apps. It holds several hours of fun, but so far that's pretty much it.

    • 80 Critic Score
    A title that pleasantly surprised us with its well-executed homage to classic Resident Evil, introducing new elements seamlessly, and resolving combat exceptionally well. While some designed-to-kill moments may be bothersome and the lack of translation is a drawback, we recommend it to those seeking an experience akin to classic Resident Evil with some changes and a more condensed format.

    Weta Workshop delivers a cozy life simulator that fits the peaceful lifestyle of hobbits and charms with subtle references to Tolkien’s world, yet its shallow mechanics, severe performance issues, and forgettable visuals make it feel like a simplified and underwhelming version of much stronger alternatives in the genre.
    • 61 Metascore

    We think Wanted will divide the public, with probably more detractors than praisers. Genre fans, used to mediocre games without souls, should overlook Wanted's flaws and see the braveness and effort in this not so ostentatious production.

    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not an actual sequel of the previous title, so it's hard to compare. Still, we don't like the new formula as much as we liked the previous one, so we can only recommend this game to Jojo's fans.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    We enjoyed this game as much as we enjoyed the original, but as a remaster it isn't that good, and Sony should've, at least, included more content.

    Broken Roads offers a rich post-apocalyptic world with complex characters and philosophical debates, reminiscent of Wasteland and Disco Elysium. However, it suffers from unfulfilled ambitions and lacks depth in gameplay mechanics. Despite memorable moments and intriguing moral choices, it's hindered by simplistic combat and repetitive missions. Overall, it's a flawed but engaging experience for those willing to overlook its shortcomings.

    Monkey King is one of those games that feels straight out from the 128-bit era, which, in a way, is a good thing. However, there are some shortcomings on gameplay level that make it harder to recommend to more experienced players.

    • 61 Metascore

    Generally speaking, it’s a step in the right direction for the series, but it also makes too many mistakes along the way. Fun, but with plenty of room for improvement.

    • 69 Critic Score
    This isn't a bad game, but we expected more. Possibly JRPG hardcore fans will consider it a decent entry in a genre passing through difficult times, but actually it doesn't bring anything new or noteworthy.
