    The best of Fairytale Fights is the idea to create the story and background of the game, hands down. Its twisted humour makes it attractive enough to be enjoyable, but only if we ignore its flaws.

    This is a decent game which lacks some improvements, specially more game modes and multiplayer options.

    A Monster’s Expedition packs a bunch of good ideas, but ultimately it feels uninspired and fails to do anything worth highlighting.

    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.

    FIFA Mobile is so focused on social connectivity, in-app purchases and so on than in football itself, so it's hard to enjoy if you just want to play a match.

    Although the game has many and evident flaws, especially in its visuals, and it is not revolutionary, nor it differentiates itself from the rest of action and RPG games, it indeed is engaging and makes you keep playing thanks to its freedom.

    TOHU is beautiful and charming, but its execution is a bit flawed. It doesn’t make the most of its dual character gameplay, and the puzzles feel arbitrary and confusing.

    The Wine is the first episode of the Horror Tales series. It has some good ideas and some interesting moments, but its reliance in repetitive mechanics can turn the horror into boredom.

    A decent console version that adds cats and dogs to the Sims formula, which makes it more fun. But the buggy adaptation makes the experience poorer, although this is a good game.

    A decent and fun motocross game, that becomes addictive but also falls short in content, as it doesn't have any local or online multiplayer mode. Despite all of this, it is a decent game that motocycling lovers should give a chance.

    Its core gameplay is very good, and matches can be very exciting, but some annoying issues get in the way. Also, all players and courts behave very similarly, so it feels the same no matter where or who you play as. Still, we hope the developer addresses this issues.

    Although this is one of the most complete versions of Frogger we have seen in the latest 30 years, it is also too simple. It has varied and fun game modes, very entertaining when played with friends, but the feeling is that the title is too limited, with no new additions to the classic formula or a reinvention.
    • 57 Metascore

    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.

    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.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A slighty over-average game that has some good points, like its perspective and character editor, but also lacks much more game modes and fighters, something that is unforgivable in a fighting game. Although it is not a perfect game and it is even far from being very good, this is a meritable approach to MMA sports.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Good ideas, but the lack of budget/time/experience, or whatever the reason was, resulted in a game that could have been much better. Still, if you know what you're buying, it can be an entertaining experience.

    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.

    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.

    This game has some features we like from downloadable games and some others we don't. It offers simple and constant action, and a fun cooperative multiplayer, both offline and online, but it gets repetitive soon and has some desperate AI flaws.

    DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing provides a classic kart racing experience with a complete and charismatic character roster, featuring some good ideas, though not all well-executed, and visually appealing graphics, but it falls short in handling and physics consistency, struggles to convey information accurately, and while not riddled with technical flaws, it has noticeable imperfections.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's nothing too original, but still fun for some short sessions. Still, we feel its free-to-play model a little bit abusive, something not everyone is going to enjoy.

    We were expecting more from a game with someone like Yuji Naka. The gameplay and the visuals feel outdated, and even though the game is fun, it's far from the best platformers on Nintendo consoles.

    Despite a predictable story and underwhelming stealth and combat mechanics, Steel Seed manages to entertain with its nostalgic approach to linear sci-fi adventures, an engaging atmosphere, and some visually striking moments, though frequent bugs, rough controls, and technical issues hold it back.

    A game with plenty of virtues that serie lovers will appreciate, and very engaging for a very long time. It has all the elements that make this series special, but the formula and visuals have aged a lot, and only hardcore fans will be interested.

    Slain! hasn't met our expectations because of a poor level design and unresponsive controls. It's enjoyable, but at the same time, it's a little bit disappointing because it could have been a modern masterpiece.

    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.

    A recommended game for those who like One Piece, but everyone has to consider there is also a Wii version around, with almost the same content except for the Marineford game, the 3D effect and a few more features. It is not outstanding, but it has enough charm to keep us playing for hours.

    Despite its colorful world and fun movement mechanics, Completely Stretchy fails to capture the essence of its inspirations, offering a shallow experience with a restrictive open world, uninspired objectives, and limited interaction beyond its quirky aesthetics.
