    • 65 Critic Score
    A solid tribute to classic SRPGs with strategic turn-based combat and a compelling narrative for fans of the franchise, but it suffers from slow pacing, a lack of innovation, and the absence of Spanish localization.

    • 58 Critic Score
    Destiny Connect is not a bad game, but it fails to offer anything appealing or interesting for the player, and it gets monotonous quite quickly. It might be a good option for younger players, but they would be able to find better alternatives as well.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    A great idea ruined by poor controls and a bad level design. The concept has been proven right many times before, but this time it needs extra polishing.

    Lord of the Rings Conquest succeeds in bringing Tolkien's fans a solid videogame, with intense action and a good representation of battles. But there is a strong difference between playing it multiplayer and single player, less fun than the former. Solo players should think twice the purchase.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Foamstars attempts to capture the essence of Splatoon with its colorful design and unique mechanics but falls short due to lackluster execution and an aggressive microtransaction system. While it offers some enjoyable moments, especially in cooperative squad mode, its gameplay loop feels frustrating and its pay-to-win elements detract from the overall experience.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A bad port, done without effort and rushed. There's little use of the Wii U exclusive features and the frame-rate drops below 20 without reason. You'll get used to that and enjoy the great game behind it, but we recommend playing in on another platform.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This fighting game is ideal for fans of the franchise that just want to have a good time, without being too technical or competitive. It has some good ideas, but not much depth.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The lack of racing games on the Switch makes Unlimited 2 appealing, and although it isn’t a bad game, technically and gameplay-wise it comes with too many shortcomings.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The concept works pretty well, but the level design becomes tedious and boring, with some really slow sequences. If you think you can forgive this, then it deserves a try.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Some people might find it hard to understand that this is actually a good game, as long as you know what you're buying. If you do, Onechanbara Z2 won't disappoint you.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    ZHEROS is a good game if you just want a beat 'em up without nothing surprising or particularly original. If you're ok with a simple concept, this will work.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Calico does something unique and different, so if you’re interested in a management game with magical girls and giant cats, you’ll probably be able to forget its technical errors and design flaws.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    While is nice to see this forgotten genre back, the controls don’t do it justice, and in this particular case they are integral to the experience.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It lives by the rules of the classic graphic adventure, which is great for those who enjoy the good old games of the genre, even though that also means that some aspects of the game might be consider negative by those who prefer newer adventures. Still, a great game.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Amikrog is a pretty good adventure, beautifully animated, but very short and shows a blatant lack of testing.
    • 57 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.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    EyePet was a good idea in home consoles, but its adaptation to PSP lacks a lot of polish, although they have tried to port it faithfully.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A tribute to beat'em up classics with a really good control scheme and loads of content to unlock. There are some modes missing, but so far is worth a try.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    This game looks five years older, and is obsolete both technically and gameplay-wise. However, its theme and cooperative modes are enjoyable.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    It's quite repetitive, and even if visually pleasant, there's little fun to be found here. Somehow it feels incomplete and we can't really recommend it unless you try it first for yourself.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A good game, despite its flaws. It has good ideas and is a type of game we rarely see in consoles, and even less frequently in portable ones, but it gets repetitive soon. If you are looking for something different this is a game for you, with a charming personality. But it is not perfect, and the only really memorable aspect is its great soundtrack.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Iro Hero borrows some ideas from other shoot ‘em ups, but also adds its own flavor. It has a very unique take on design/difficulty, so it might not be for every player, but if you understand it, we think you’ll enjoy it.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    This is a proudly old-fashioned game that, at least, feels different from all the current action games.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    A predictable but satisfying game, but it doesn't bring anything new. It is not a vain attempt because it won't disappoint those looking for a high definition Budokai Tenkaichi, but it's a lost opportunity to evolve the formula making the most of this generation power.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Aegis of Earth has potential, but it fails to deliver an engaging experience. It's not a bad game, but it's a good choice of you've played all the other main tower defense games.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Without being a complete disaster, it's a game with too many shortcomings in a genre with too many masterpieces.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Edge of Time should have been a far better game than it actually is. It has a great story and presentation, but its gameplay lacks polish and has quite a few flaws in its design.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    With the game being reasonably priced, it's a great choice to enjoy the game on the go if we missed it before. There are not great additions, so if you've already played it you will find the same experience with new controls.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This is another Kinect game that doesn't really make the most of the camera. Short and sometimes fun, it could be a great game for kids.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Little Deviants acts as a techincal demonstration of the many gadgets PSVITA has inside, but is a very entertaining game most of the time. It makes the most of all VITA capabilites, but is a bit limited in duration.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is exactly what you expected: a game from another time, for better or worse. It’s enjoyable, but also lackluster in several areas.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A noteworthy successor to games like Mashed and Micromachines. If you like this blend of shooting and driving, it is a very interesting buy, although its single-player mode is quite short and not very replayable.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    It improves certain aspects of the original game, but still, some basic elements like gameplay and plot don't seem to work as they should.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's surprisingly good in every aspect, and offers a great experience. It's fun, beautiful and well-adapted to the hardware it runs on, so we at least recommend having a look at it.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Sherlock Holmes DS is an excellent option for those Nintendo DS adventure lovers, specially the followers of this British hero.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Aside from more content and some visual upgrades, the experience remains the same. Obviously, if you haven't played it yet and you're looking forward to trying this unique game, the PS4 version is the best choice.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    It is a good idea to combine action with strategy, but this time hasn't been achieved with prowess.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Blood Bowl III is fun and delivers deep gameplay, but it lacks modes, content and it might have too many microtransactions.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It is mostly a multiplayer game, for up to two players, but it works really well for one player. It is, in fact, its best virtue in comparison with the Flash version.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    A very long game, that needs lots of time –and money, if we are inpatients– but that won't offer anything new. If you're familiar with this kind of free-to-play titles and The Hobbit doesn't appeal to you, you can keep on searching.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is not the perfect Kinect game, as it share some implementation flaws with several other games that use motion detection, but it is an original and fun game which will make you relax and laugh.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Jump Force is disappointing. A very shallow fighting game that doesn’t live up to the expectations of all the characters and franchises it is based on.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a game incredibly pleasing to play, although it becomes less and less interesting as we advance through it.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    5 Spots Party proposes something different and interesting, and that works. But it quite an important problem as a videogame: its difficulty curve is not progressive.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    You can't call Velvet Assassin a complete disappointment. The cautious move here is to rent the title, and decide for yourself if the title is worth a buy, something not ridiculous considering the attractive price point.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Although we would have liked to see more minigames, it is a title with its own personality which will engage those looking to pass a good time with their friends.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    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.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    It offers an original concept, but there are things that don't fit well overall.
    • 56 Metascore

    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.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's one of those games VR needs. It's not an unforgettable experience and it doesn't take you to wonderful worlds, but it's a good arcade to have a great time with.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    We've enjoyed this version of Lords of the Fallen... for 30 minutes. The game doesn't really hold up that well afterwards, and even it's still enjoyable, maybe not enough for its price.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    At its core, Pokémon Shuffle is a great puzzle game, but the free-to-play system makes it expensive to enjoy unless you're ok with a system that lets you play a few minutes every few hours.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    We have reviewed this game after its big patch, and now it's definitely a better experience. Dangerous Golf mixes Burnout's Crash mode with golf, and offers an interesting title ideal to break from more complex games.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This is a game for a specific audience, who knows how funny and absurd Gal Gun can be. It improves some aspects over its predecessor, but there's still many things that need to be worked on.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    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.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    This is an unlikely sequel that inherits all the good things about the first one, like a great story and a charismatic protagonist, but also repeats the same mistakes, even making them worse sometimes, becoming very tedious at times.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    Verdun has really good ideas, and it tries to achieve a realism most shooters discard these days, but a very poor technical side and some control issues prevent it from achieving something bigger.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As a lightgun-shooter game is, hands down, superior to the other ones of WiiWare, but it cannot compare with retail games of the genre, both in action and story.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This high definition resurrection of the Atari 2600 classic doesn't meet expectations.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Cooking Mama 4 is a wasted opportunity. There are no remarkable new features in gameplay, the graphics have not been revised to make the most of 3D, and it makes no difference to the Nintendo DS entries, which is a shame. It will only result interesting for those who are newcomers to the series.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's just a new perspective for How to Survive. It does work, but depending on your previous experience with the game, it's up to you to decide whether it worth it or not.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It feels like the movie… it’s accessible and sometimes fun, but it hardly surprises someone anymore. It lacks challenge and structure, but it offers quite a lot of content and some great moments.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's not the best game ever, but we had a lot of fun playing it. One of those games quite enjoyable in VR, even if it doesn't make the most of it.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Ary and the Secret of the Seasons is a good game, although there are some aspects, like the combat, that still need a lot of work. Still, we’ve enjoyed this humble production.
    • 56 Metascore

    The game works well as a tribute to Michael Jackson, although it could have included some more extras for the deceased singer fans, and also a better gameplay.
    • 56 Metascore

    A predictable but satisfying game, but it doesn't bring anything new. It is not a vain attempt because it won't disappoint those looking for a high definition Budokai Tenkaichi, but it's a lost opportunity to evolve the formula making the most of this generation power.
    • 56 Metascore

    It's short and it has some technical issues, but we've enjoyed it and we think that it even has some moments to remember. If you understand its flaws, it might surprise you.

    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.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Even if Kung-Fu High Impact were an Xbox Live Arcade title we would find it mediocre, because of some problems in gameplay that make the game frustrating. As a downloadable game it would be a curious one, but as a retail game it is not recommendable.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Perception has many good ideas, but it doesn't carry them in the best way throughout the adventure, mostly for relying too much on cliches.
    • 56 Metascore

    Syndrome is not outstanding in any aspect, but it works. Still, it borrows from many well-known horror games, which makes it quite predictable.
    • 56 Metascore

    This is a game recommended for those who feel passion for the genre and enjoy going downhill at top speed, alone or through the Internet.

    Predator really nails the tension of being in any of both sides, although now there isn’t much content and the matchmaking times are extremely long. With a solid foundation, we can only hope regular updates make the most of it.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A very fun and refreshing game, and a great start for Hironobu Sakaguchi on mobile platforms. The control is good and the gameplay mechanics are great, but it lacks some more depth and options. We also miss a multiplayer mode.

    • 56 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It is aimed at a young audience, but if you're playing with friends it can be fun. It could have been better though with online modes, though. Still, make sure you try it before buying it.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    A hardly recommendable game, that only Pokémon hands will like, as it has a very repetitive gameplay. Maybe younger players like it, as it is not a difficult game, but as an adventure it is too dull and repetitive.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    This collection of several short films and a game is quite irregular, and it seems to be aimed at a very particular audience. If you are part of that particular audience then you know what you're buying. If you're not, make sure you it find out before purchasing it.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    This movie-inspired videogame is simply an ordinary arcade, wasting a story which could have been better exploited.
    • 56 Metascore

    This is a very limited version, where you barely find any management options, and that doesn’t live up to what you would expect from this franchise.

    Breakpoint tries and does some new things to become something more than a mere sequel, but it also loses its identity in the process. It’s enjoyable with friends, although we wouldn’t recommend it if you’re playing alone.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's hard to deny there are some issues, but still we feel there's a lot of effort put into it, and we would be happy to see new episodes following this path.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Rogue Corps has some good ideas, but the execution is very, very flawed. Poor level design, repetitive and more input lag than this genre can handle. However, it can be fun with friends. If you’re playing alone, though, stay away from it.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It won't realize all the whises of those who have been longing to become a jedi for thirty years, but this is probably the best Star Wars game you can make for Kinect nowadays, and offers quite a lot of ways to use the motion detection device. It has some control problems and will not meet the highest expectations, but the overall result is good.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game has not quite fulfilled its potential, with overall good minigames but not enough variety.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    This game may offer some hours of fun, especially in multiplayer, and it is not expensive, but overall is has much to improve.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    To sum up, OneChanbara is one of the most direct and frantic games on Wii and, despite its multiple flaws -especially in the technical aspect-, it is nonetheless an enjoyable game, provided we like button mashing. Unfortunately, its lack of story -which has not been localized to Spanish- and character depth makes us sometimes wonder if so much zombie massacre is worthwhile.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you enjoy open world stealth games, this one will satisfy your needs. It's not an actual sandbox, but it offers a certain degree of freedom that makes it very interesting and rewarding.

    Super Monkey Ball seems to have been hurried up to arrive at Nintendo 3DS launch. Graphics are noteworthy, sound is decent and 3D works well, but gameplay just doesn't work.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you like classic brawlers, Watchmen is one of the best 3D adaptations of this formula ever made, and the best in recent times. It can become repetitive; in fact it is, what matters is if you like it enough. With a striking technical part because of its price-quality relation, and some very fun features, Watchmen deserves at least a try.

    Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings is a pity, because although it has very interesting aspects, the final result is not as good as it should have been.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A game with mixed results. It is a very original idea that we've seen few times in console, with almost infinite possibilities, but the adaptation lacks something. As a puzzle game it is difficult and has enough variety, but the absence of clues or help makes it frustrating sometimes.
    • 55 Metascore

    To sum up, we can say that despite having more than average graphics and a decent fighting system, Naruto Ninja Destiny 2 doesn't meet expectations. Its only notable improvement in comparison with the previous game is the varied character roster we can choose from.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A modest cooperative action game that reinvents the legend of Robin Hood with a steampunk twist, offering some fun moments with friends and a decent graphical aspect for a small production, but also suffering from a lack of originality, content, and artificial intelligence, as well as being overshadowed by many better alternatives in the genre.

    It doesn't become the ultimate Dragon Ball game we have been expecting for years, although it brings something new and different which adds freshness to the series. Unfortunately, its great graphics cannot hide a system too simple and repetitive.
