It needs a long period of adaptation, since the complex controls match the complex gameplay we're facing. Crimson does have its audience, but maybe it's not wide enough for a launch title.- Vandal

The formula still works, but this adaptation is strange and a bit confusing. It changes the visuals but the new ones are not breathtaking, the levels have been splitted for some reason, and its in-app purchases are a bit insulting.- Vandal

Good, but still far from what EA is attempting to achieve. It will be enough for those looking for their annual war-themed FPS, but its gameplay needs to reach the high levels seen in its audio and visual aspects.- Vandal

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.- Vandal

Bright Memory is a game that brings us back to the PS2 era, when you could create a game that was just fun to play. However, it feels like a paid demo, and most of the things it does barely have any depth.- Vandal

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.- Vandal

It's hard to recommend The Tomorrow Children.

It's been a while since the first games of the series were released, but Port Royale 3 has not improved vastly or learned from previous mistakes.

Follia could’ve been an interesting game, but its gameplay is just not good enough.

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.

An extinct approach to first-person shooters, like a game locked into a time capsule that has been relased now (which is almost what happened).

As if it were an experimental title in augmented reality, Spirit Camera shows that stories can be told using this technology, offering an inmersive experience in which you can blend the console with the players' environment.

Everybody 1-2-Switch! works better than we expected in any circumstance, from a family afternoon to, perhaps, one of those team building events that companies organize to unite their work teams, and to this we must add the attraction of coming at a reduced price. It is a very measured, adaptable, fun game that awakens the competitive mood and with which time will fly by and that has the rope to be one of the protagonists of all kinds of social and family gatherings and thus we will be able to definitively save generations of games passes that we used for these purposes.- Vandal
