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

    Despite its nostalgic charm, fast-paced action, and enjoyable co-op mode, this 16-bit-style platformer suffers from imprecise controls, sharp difficulty spikes, and a lack of Spanish translation that dull its appeal, though its humor and visual homage to the original anime remain engaging.

    It's a quite special game, but not necessarily in a good way. We understand what the developers tried to achieve, but in the end it's a game that doesn't give you any help and can feel unfair. If you're ok with this and you're looking for a challenge, it can be an interesting experience.

    Roving Rogue has its issues but in the end it is a game we had a lot of time with playing it with friends. If that's your case, it might by a good choice.

    A game made for hardcore cycling fans. Its gameplay might result simple for many players, but each stage of the competition is an strategy challenge, and also depends on luck. Winning is not easy, and that is something interesting that fosters us to keep playing. It has some interesting elements and improvements in comparison with the previous year version, but technically it is still poor, and has room for many enhancements.

    These games are always fun, and we've seen an attempt to introduce some news ideas, but they are never fully executed. If you've played many other games in the series you feel like it's time to have some new additions.

    Fallout 76 fails at many things, but its core gameplay still is fun and engaging. This is enough to keep you going, but it is not what you would expect from an online-based AAA, and even if all the bugs can be fixed, there are many things (combat, mission design, inventory system) that would be much harder to fix.

    Behind tough controls there's a game quite enjoyable, that makes up for its lack of content with good options for user generated content.

    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.
    • 69 Metascore

    It's simple and quite repetitive, but the story and how much fun it has to give us makes it worth our time if we're looking for a game based on smashing buttons.

    Diluvion has really good ideas to be more than a submarine shooter, but the execution isn't that good. We recommend it if you like this type of setting.

    It's always good to be able to play the whole trilogy on the go with all the content for a reasonable price, but it feels like a rushed port. It's still enjoyable, of course, but the graphic quality is lower than expected.

    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.
    • 70 Metascore

    It's a great experience, but it offers no challenge and it vanishes too soon. Still, the base is solid, and we're looking forward to seeing what the talent behind this game offers in the future.

    Ultimately, The Three Musketeers is a good 2D action and platforming game but is far from the better titles in the genre. Its imprecise control system and its inconsistent level design are its main flaws.

    Semispheres is simple, but it isn't easy. If you're looking for a challenging puzzle make sure you have a look at this one, even though it falls short on content and modes.

    While the game still is good, the lack of new relevant features leaves its fans waiting for a big step in the right direction.

    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.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Yet another proof that classic formulas never die, and nostalgic gamers will remember with a smile those old, hard-as-hell, arcade machines. An old-school title which provides great fun despite its limitations.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The core gameplay is very good and enjoyable, but the lack of content prevents it from being something bigger.
    • 62 Metascore

    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.

    Yet another downloadable zombie game that provides hours of fun without much complications. It has customizaton options that work very well, but might result repetitive soon for many players.

    Shaun White Skateboarding is a decent games but it lacks something. Its unprecise control makes tricks less enjoyable than they should, and we miss some more variety in its challenges.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It becomes another horror game, where the fact of being a baby is kind of irrelevant, which is a shame taking into account this was its most distinctive aspect. It's short, but it does have some good moments though, so we think it deserves a try if you like the genre.
    • 58 Metascore

    Sword of the Necromancer is not a bad game, by any means, but fails to do anything surprising or particularly well in a oversaturated roguelike market.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    As a game, we have to admit that it works, even though it feels somehow old-fashioned when compared to some of its competitors. It does have some fun to offer, but the Dark Knight deserves better.
    • tbd Metascore

    This is one of those games that is quite hard to describe. It's different and hard to understand, but if you're interested in its concept and theme, it may end up being a nice surprise.
    • 75 Metascore

    Although it is not a game to remember, it is a challenging experience, one of those titles meant to test your skills and make you have a good time.

    GTI Club Supermini Festa is better in multiplayer, but its limitation to four users, and only in adhoc, does not foster competition. Played solo, it has the same defect that an arcade game, but with graphical limitations and a questionable control.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This is a more than decent game, with great ideas and concepts, which are not executed that well. It has an attractive scheme, more than decent visuals and interesting concepts which would have turned it into a great game, if only it had been put together better.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This is an interesting approach to multiplayer combat games, although a bit flawed. The main issues? The arenas are too big, the matches too long and the story mode is just a bunch of challenges you need to buy.

    An entertaining free app for iOS that makes the most of its social components for us to enjoy becoming a gangster with our friends. Its ideas are good but doesn't offer anything we hadn't seen before.
    • 69 Metascore

    It’s good to have a remake available in Europe and localized, but it feels like a missed opportunity to improve the outdated gameplay.

    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.

    Drawn to Death has a lot of personality and it can be enjoyable, but its lack of depth plays against it. Still, if you are a PS Plus subscriber, give it a try.
    • 55 Metascore

    Even with some good ideas, the execution is not as good as we expected from the Trials series, and if feels like fast food instead of a well-cooked experience.

    Death Come True is an interesting game, but compared to other similar titles it falls short. We expect this to be just a small example of what Too Kyo Games can and will do, so hopefully their new projects will build upon the foundations of this.

    A simple proposal to foster creativity, especially in the younger players. An entertaining game that has jumped from the digital stores to the retail and somewhat lacks some more content.

    ANTRO offers a unique blend of urban music, dystopian storytelling, and platforming action set in a dark underground Barcelona, with strong artistic and sound design that immerses players in its atmosphere. However, the gameplay feels somewhat imprecise and relies heavily on trial and error, and the very short duration leaves the player wanting more despite its creative ambition.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Edens Zero offers a faithful adaptation of Hiro Mashima’s story with a detailed narrative and varied characters, but it suffers from overly simplistic combat, uninspired mission design, and outdated visuals. While the exploration of Blue Garden adds some depth and content, the low difficulty and repetitive gameplay limit its appeal mostly to fans of the series.

    It has a lot of competitors in the DSiWare shop, but It is frantic and fun. And also a good puzzle.

    Prim is a traditional point-and-click adventure that stands out for its packaging: a somewhat bizarre Kingdom of the Dead depicted in black and white and very pretty, carefully voiced and a very strong soundtrack; simply discovering little by little the design of that world and how they have interpreted the characters of Greek mythology is a pleasure. However, the plot, even with its funny and absurd moments, does not end up engaging because it ends up neglecting its main theme (the relationship between Prim and her father, Thanatos) and because it gets lost in endless expository dialogues. At the same time, there are some puzzles that are fun because of their approach or their humorous resolution, but there are no particularly brilliant puzzles, and some interesting mechanics are wasted and a couple of mini-games are too long, monotonous and frustrating. All in all, Common Colors' game is enjoyable, but with some changes here and there it could go from being a pretty game to a more than remarkable point-and-click adventure.
    • 49 Metascore

    A disappointment. With mediocre graphics and limited gameplay, it has an interesting yet a bit commonplace story, although in fact the game results are enjoyable despite its flaws.
    • 67 Metascore

    Tennis World Tour 2 is a small step forward for the series, even if it also introduces some questionable decisions. Enjoyable, but still far from the best tennis games.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    It's better than the previous game, and if you like that one, then nothing should stop you from getting this. However, there are better options out there, and this seems to be focused for those looking for a very different JRPG.
    • 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.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    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.

    The Falconeer is beautiful and quite enjoyable, but it gets repetitive. It’s a shame its gameplay is a bit flawed, since it can be fun and original.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    This is a very original title, not only when it comes to its story but also its gameplay. This is something we really appreciate, but it doesn't manage to rise above its rival. We're sure many people will love it, but it'll drive crazy that audience that looks for fast, easy titles.
    • 58 Metascore

    Completely unrelated to Silent Hill and horror, an acceptable dungeon crawler with many hours of combat ahead. Recommended for those who want a game to play online, since its multiplayer is the key to make the most of it.

    While we wait for Left 4 Dead to come back from the dead, World War Z is not a bad option, but it isn’t as good as that series. If you like killing zombies with friends you’ll have a great time, although the game has a fair amount of shortcomings.

    This is a coop shooter with a great setting and good ideas, but the worlds feels empty, the progression isn’t very appealing and ends up feeling repetitive.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    It’s great to have the franchise back, but it feels like this remaster takes from the original more than it adds. The control changes and the lack of mini games make it feel a little bit barebones, although the core of the series is still there, and there is a lot of fun to be had.

    Nubla 2 is a very interesting approach to art through video games and a step in the right direction, but it still has many issues that prevent it from achieving something bigger and better.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    It’s great to be able to play such a classic arcade on current hardware with update graphics, but it is a very basic adaptation with many issues performance-wise, hard to justify in 2020. The experience of the original still remains, but this title deserved more.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    It is theoretically enjoyable, but there are some issues, mostly online related, that spoil all the fun. We encourage you to give it a try, since it has a lot of entertainment to offer.

    • 63 Critic Score
    Taking into account this is not a very long title, the result is a game which could have been much better, providing the good idea it comes from, but because of its simplicity and scarce durability, it falls far from what we expected.

    Hardware: Rivals made sense when its predecessor came out. Now it feels quite simple and empty, and unless a DLC fixes it up, it feels like it should go for a free-to-play model.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    There's little innovation here, and somehow it feels like a 0,99c mobile game priced at 20$. It isn't a bad game, but Nintendo should have tried harder.
    • 58 Metascore

    It does have some good ideas, but an execution with some room for improvement and the lack of charisma leaves us with an irregular experience.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    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.

    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.

    This is not the ultimate minigame title, but it really is a good example of how to integrate an already known universe like MySims, in a completely new game style. Luckily, the game is attractive enough to attract attention from home children, who surely will have the most fun.

    It brings us the opportunity to enjoy the adventure of Luffy and his crew, offering more content than the first game. Fully finishing the game will take us many hours, but it might be boring eventually because of the poor AI of the enemies.

    We can't ignore it feels like a yet to be finished game, with some good ideas but not fully exploited. In fact, perhaps it has been hurried up to be ready for the cinema premiere, and this would have harmed the development. What a shame. Maybe next time.

    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.

Overall, it's a flawed but engaging experience for those willing to overlook its shortcomings.

    This collection of VR experiences is good, but quite short and not particularly extensive when it comes to content. It's a good example of what VR can offer, but it feels more like a game that should've been included with every headset.
