    It is a very easy and simple game, but it is aimed at a young audience that will definitely enjoy it. One of those games that will be in many letters to Santa Claus.

    This Netflix adaptation is one of those games made for fans of the series, as fans of the genre have much better options available.

    Crazy Taxi keeps all the good things that made it so fun ten years ago. It is a good arcade driving game, but Sega has missed the chance to offer improvements, new features or just a little enhancement to foster it.

    If you like this kind of games, especially those harder than the average puzzle/platformer, it well deserves a try. However, it fails to show any outstanding feature.

    There's some great ideas behind One Upon Light, but it needs a better execution, more content and a more balanced difficulty to be the game it was meant to.

    If you’re looking for an interactive story based on this universe, you have here a good one. If you want a narrative-based game, you might want to look somewhere else, since the only thing you can do here is making decisions and unfortunately many of them don’t seem to matter.

    This is a very interesting game, that mixes up different gameplay styles with a unique visual presentation. It’s not perfect, but it’s worth your time if you’re after something original.

    Skull & Bones offers engaging naval combat and exploration, but falls short in other areas compared to its predecessor, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. While it lacks depth in its on-land gameplay and suffers from some unpolished elements, it still provides enjoyable adventures on the high seas with its ship customization and combat mechanics.

    Return to Moria is just a survival game that doesn’t do anything particularly interesting, but it can be fun if you like the franchise and play with friends.

    Age of Resistance - Tactics is not a bad game, but it’s disappointing and unable to capture the greatness of the series it’s based on.

    Although technically it manages to impress with new features, Crysis hasn’t aged very well. On top of that, many technical issues get in the way, so we recommend waiting for a patch that addresses them.

    Tintin is a good game, although in a very complicated time of the year. With dozens of other titles in the shelves, a movie-based game may be secondary for most gamers, and that is a shame, because this is a very interesting game, although far from perfect.

    Sadly, Chibi-Robo fails to deliver a good platforming game, relying on uninspired levels and forgettable action.

    There are some very good ideas that don't work as well as they should, but still the whole experience is very enjoyable. If you get a second player and go for the Iron Man mode, then you've got a tough but fun challenge ahead.

    It is strange to say, moreover because this is an original proposal, but Dark Void lacks something, maybe inspiration or perhaps just a better execution.

    Immortal Legacy is some sort of Uncharted in VR, and that’s great. Sure, the budget and the scope isn’t the same, but the core experience remains and we’ve really enjoyed. The story, though, is absolute nonsense.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    Except from the visuals there's little to highlight about the game. Fans of the genre may give it a try, keeping in mind the game relies heavily on in-app purchases.

    The Top 100 is a good tribute to the series, but a disappointing Mario Party. It lacks modes and the depth of a proper entry, although it's quite enjoyable and does deliver a bunch of hours of fun.

    The concept works fine, but the contents are too scarce. You will have fun for an hour, maybe two, but there are probably better options to invest your money.
    • 59 Metascore

    If you had high expectations you might be disappointed, but if you know what this title has to offer (tons of puzzles), then it might be worth your time and money.

    Late Shift is a very original idea, particularly for those who enjoy video games and cinema. If you fall under this description, consider giving it a try.

    As a fighting game, it simply works. It is aimed at fans of the series, and we're sure those will love it, but it's far from being the ultimate Saint Seiya game.

    It's an original proposal with a very good atmosphere, but fails in making interesting the setting and the development.

    Crystal Chronicles wasn’t the best spin-off of the series, and this remaster (as well as the issues and missing features it brings with it) won’t change that. It can be fun with friends, but there are better RPGs out there.
    • 59 Metascore

    The lack of multiplayer, the lack of save data and the lack of a defined genre prevent Lost Sea from achieving something bigger, as it's clear that it has some good ideas and solid foundations.

    Yu Suzuki brings to consoles and PC his latest game, released on Apple Arcade: a rail shooter that reminds of Space Harrier, with a simple and entertaining gameplay, but also very basic and repetitive, without any fresh ideas. The presentation has personality, but it can also look amateurish and mismatched, and the music does not fit the genre.

    If you have enough patience, helping Sophie will be a pleasure for the senses, with many hours of entertainment as a reward.

    Cross of the Dutchman is pretty simple but we found fun in its simplicity. Still, it ends when it starts getting interesting, so we hope a hypothetical sequel could make things better.
    • 59 Metascore

    World Series is a lot of fun playing with friends online or offline, but the lack of content and a not very well tuned control make the return of the series a little bit disappointing.

    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.

    Pac-Man Party is a good alternative party game, and contrary to Mario Party, we can play solo without having to wait for computer-controlled players to move. The game mixes genre to offer more variety in minigames, which is a good thing.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    Rebel Cops is a very interesting spin-off that takes ideas from turn-based strategy games and action games and mixes them up. It’s not as big as This is the Police, but there’s a lot of fun to be had with it.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    We feel it's limited by time and money, but as a game is a good experience, with some good ideas actually well implemented. If you like sci-fi ARPG, and you've already played the big games in the genre, this could be an option worth trying.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    Reforged is just a new way to play the campaign of one of the best games ever made… but that’s pretty much. Blizzard has a lot of work to do to fix this and deliver the remaster the original deserves.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Its control fails at first, but at least we have plenty of options to customize it and obtain a positive feel. It also lacks more simulation options and a more interesting career mode, but if we forget this we can enjoy fun Formula One races.

    Emergency 2012 is a very direct title in its proposal, and maybe we won't need much time to take control, but it hides some levels which can become a real challenge if we can't cope with the situation.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    There is a great foundation to start playing from, but we think the community and the content updates will determine the future of this game. One way or another, it's very fun, and what's most important being free-to-play, well balanced between players who pay and players who don't.
    • 59 Metascore

    It’s great to see new takes on the Souls formula, but they need to have something special if they want to find their place in a market that’s becoming more and more saturated. Hellpoint has a solid foundation and good ideas, but that’s about it.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Ultimately, From the Abyss won't enter history for having set any milestone within the console portfolio, because although it has a good presentation, its concept can result repetitive for players expecting a good blend between action and story. This is a title devoted only to dungeon brawling, with hours and hours of killing and lots of levels to explore.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    An interesting proposal as an alternative to previous Naruto game, with good production and polished visuals. Maybe its most important vice is that in can result repetitive, a thing that some players may overlook, but other might not.

    A just correct remake, with a lot of room for improvement. It does fix some issues present in the original game and improves the textures, but still it feels far from other HD remakes. One way or another, it is indeed the best way to get involved with the beginning of the series.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    A game with good intentions and some interesting ideas, but its depth and variety of options are shadowed by its slow gameplay, few intuitive controls and flawed grpahics. However, hardcore strategy fans might find an interesting product here thanks to its many possibilities.
    • 59 Metascore

    A great choice for the fans of the series. It may not be perfect, but it's entertaining and offers some remarkable aspects.

    Dream is one of those games where you're supposed to enjoy the universe the team has created. If you're looking for this kind of "experience", it might be the right choice.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Some decisions, like the randomly generated levels or the permadeath, made the game feels worse than it should. It's enjoyable, and the multiplayer mode and its artistic design are quite strong, but it still feels like a missed opportunity to do something really unique.
    • 59 Metascore

    As a digital game, it offers a good, enjoyable experience, but we expected a little bit more from the return of Taisuke Kanasaki to the genre.

    An overwhelming experience, and one of the most complete RPG on iOS. One of the games that at least should be tried.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Its fast-paced action, smooth performance, and powerful soundtrack deliver satisfying arcade-style shooting, but the lack of depth, limited variety, and misuse of the Painkiller name make it feel solid yet unremarkable.

    Skater XL has a great foundation to build upon, but right now that’s all that it is. While we expect further updates to bring more content to the game, we can only recommend it to those who need a new skateboarding now and cannot wait.

    Summer in Mara has some great ideas, and mixes up successfully some genres like farming, crafting and adventure games, but it also has some issues, both from a design and technical perspective. It is however a good game, and we think younger players can have a great time with it.
    • 59 Metascore

    It looks good and it's fun for a while, but unless you're willing to play online and happy with the monetization system, there are better options.

    Blue Estate is a great on-rail shooter, but you'll need the right peripherals to enjoy it properly.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    We're happy to play this type of games, even if it is a smaller production like this one. It doesn't do anything particularly well, but it's good enough to keep you entertained. A good option if you need a budget game or an action platformer for younger players.

    Everything works quite well, except for one of the most important parts: the control. It's a shame such a good concept hasn't had a better execution, because with a better control it would've been a much better experience.

    First of the North Star, as a modification of Dynasty Warriors, is a good idea quite well executed. It has its own touch and personality, without differentiating itself too much from the series tradition.

    The Inpatient looks good; sound goods and has a couple of interesting ideas, but it lacks purpose. It doesn't work as a walking simulator because the story isn't that good, and it doesn't work as a horror game because it lacks gameplay. If you want to be scared, though, it can be fun.

    Blending action, roguelike elements, and online cooperative play, South Park: Snow Day offers frenetic fun, but its lack of narrative depth and gameplay variety leaves it feeling like a missed opportunity to fully capture the essence of the beloved series. While the solid gameplay mechanics provide enjoyable moments, especially in multiplayer, the game ultimately falls short in delivering a truly memorable experience.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game does not work as good as we think the dev team planned, but it offers some interesting ideas and does entertain. We recommend trying the demo first, since it might be a choice worth considering.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    The idea is good, but the implementation is not. At the moment, the game abuses the free-to-play model, so we can only hope for a future update of its gameplay and in-app purchases system.
    • 59 Metascore

    We’ve had some fun with Mario Kart Tour but, overall, is a disappointing game. Poor control and a omnipresent free-to-play system are simply not good enough for this franchise.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    While the game boasts an impressive stop-motion aesthetic and engaging Japanese folklore-inspired visuals, its repetitive combat, clunky platforming, and structural issues undermine its potential. Despite some interesting combat mechanics, technical bugs and uninspired exploration create a frustrating and anticlimactic experience.

    Dracula: Undead Awakening is an intense and frantic action and shooting game, but it doesn't offer much more than that.
    • 59 Metascore

    It gets stuck someone between an RPG and an action game, and in the end none of them really works. It has some interesting ideas, but the gameplay fails to deliver.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A sequel that improves upon the first Slap Them All!, featuring perfect graphics for the franchise, a good soundtrack, enhanced fun in cooperative play with better balance than the original, but falls short in gameplay depth compared to genre leaders, lacks replayability incentives in the scoring system, and once again lacks online multiplayer, leaving room for a more ambitious installment in terms of gameplay, modes, and online features.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score

    Those Who Remain does a great job with its art style, but that’s about it. Yes, it will keep you entertained for a few hours, but it’s very unoriginal and the performance on Xbox One X is atrocious, at least at launch.

    Moving from mobile to PC has allowed this game to make some improvements we really appreciate. Still, you can tell that some of its features, like the unlocking system, is based off a free-to-play model, and that doesn't feel that well. One way or another, it delivers a good experience.

    We really like the core of Anthem, but not in this state. There are not only plenty of bugs and issues, but also many design flaws and progression issues. We haven’t lost hope, and we really hope BioWare and EA can make Anthem the game it deserves to be.
