    Flip Wars has a very solid foundation, but a lack of content that makes it look like an early access game. Once it feels finished, it can be a good option.
    • 74 Metascore

    The very same game we know, being this both positive and negative. We need to mention that the control is harder on iDevices, but it's not a bad choice if you want to relive this controversial classic.

    Legends of Wrestlemania sustains itself mostly on nostalgia and on a simple an accessible gameplay concept. The nostalgia part is not so detailed like many passionate fans may demand, but at least it has succeeded in being accessible.

    This game is aimed at young Pokémon fans. If you're older, there are better puzzles on 3DS.

    The first episode of Deep Black does some things well, but not everything. It has easy to understand gameplay mechanics and a great use of water, but also some flaws in design which might upset some players.

    Although a bit expensive, it is a fun and addictive game, although it can get repetitive soon.

    Toribash can both please and repel the player. On one side, it is very different, technical and strategic; on the other, its control is not good enough, and the game pace, in practice, is slow and not very well carried.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This is a decent game which will be liked by those looking for an arcade experience without much complication. Although the game is entertaining and has lots of content, it doesn't ultimately work that well.

    Telltale struggles to get it right with the Dark Night and make the game he deserves. A very disappointing episode that asks –again– for a change in the formula.

    Although it promised to be interesting for everyone, at the end it is a good game for children, but less interesting for older players.
    • 62 Metascore

    This games does some things right, but the pace and some puzzles artificially hard leaves a bittersweet taste. Still, it's recommended if you accept its weak spots.

    Godfall doesn’t do anything outstanding and suffers serious design problems, although it can be enjoyable thanks to its combat and progression system.
    • 67 Metascore

    This title has some good ideas, but it doesn't really shine when executing any of them. It can be a good option if you love the genre, but there are better alternatives out there.

    This is a good interactive thriller, with a great story and some clever design… although it doesn’t make the most of them. If you like this type of game and you’re just looking for a new alternative, you’ll enjoy it.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 66 Metascore

    Shredders has a lot of potential and can be fun, but it needed a few extra months of development to improve some key aspects and fix some annoying bugs.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This is a good game, as it already was when it was launched almost fifteen years ago, but its only new feature is the 3D view, without a graphic overhaul or anything else new.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This sequel is no longer surprising, but if you enjoyed the first, you'll like this one. Still, it's a little bit milder and if you focus on its core gameplay, quite dull.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It doesn't change its gameplay style towards something more deep and balanced and, ultimately, it does not add really new features. But Dragon Ball fans will enjoy it a lot, and also those who like the series and have not tried a Dragon Ball game for some time.

    Earthblood is one of those games that will keep you entertained, although pretty much everything about it is average at best.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The best thing about this edition is that it will reach some people the original didn’t. Apart from that, it feels like a step back in pretty much every aspect.

    Red Goddess is a game that some will enjoy, and others will hate. Make sure you understand it's a metroidvania style game with flaws, but interesting enough for a certain audience.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Has a scarce story mode and an interesting multiplayer, but uneven results in global.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    As long as you expect a light RPG, both in game mechanics and story, it's indeed enjoyable, but there are better options out there.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Reynatis fits the profile of an RPG that Furyu and other developers have found as a niche: stories with anime influences, some curious points in the gameplay –the combat has its spark- and an approach that, for better or worse, takes us back to the role-playing game designed two decades ago. It is not necessarily a negative thing, after all there are plenty of RPGs from that era that are more fun than today's blockbusters, but the irregular execution is a problem that ends up subtracting many from the evaluation. It is not Furyu's best game, and it is certainly far from that Versus XIII that many of us imagined in 2006.

    Space Channel 5 VR is fantastic. A great comeback that keeps the charm of the original intact, and we’ve enjoyed every minute of it. And you better make sure you enjoy every minute, because the alarming lack of content is its biggest flaw, particularly if you consider its price.
    • 61 Metascore

    Has-Been Heroes has some great ideas and offers a interesting take on strategy, but some questionable design choices prevent it from being a better game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sociable Soccer 24 is a mobile game adapted to PC that tries to revive the spirit of arcade soccer games, but falls short in gameplay, graphics, and variety. It has some positive aspects, such as the FIFPro licenses, the player crafting system, and the challenge mode, but it is not enough to compete with other soccer simulators.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Although the core gameplay is solid, it’s not as engaging as it should be, and all the excitement fades away after a few hours.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you're going to play with some friends, it can be moderately fun. If you're going to play alone, then there are many other options out there to choose from.

    DBZ: Extreme Butoden is promising, but it falls short in many key aspects. The foundations are very solid, so we can only hope that a hypothetical sequel fixes all those issues.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A great idea held by its issues. We really hoped there were some improvements on the Wii U version, but it fails to deliver an engaging experience.

    Afro Samurai clearly is an enjoyable title, which is easy to play and can bring us a lot of fun if we manage to forget its flaws, but it doesn't prevent its relevant problems.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This remake delivers a visually improved version of a classic SRPG with a complex mech-based tactical system and a mature, politically charged story, but suffers from a poor Spanish translation and a lack of meaningful gameplay innovations; while the enhanced interface and new quality-of-life options help, the game misses the chance to fully modernize or preserve the original’s raw essence.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you're ok with its price, then you can bring home 31 pieces of the history of video games, pretty well adapted to HDTVs, with trophies/achievements, ranking boards and no loading screens. However, we miss some kind of information about the titles included.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game achieves to be faithful to the books, but it has quite a lot of flaws. Its gameplay is unbalanced and the story isn't told quite well. It only becomes enjoyable after some hours of play.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This title is a very interesting boss rush with some really good ideas, but it failed to get the most important thing right: its gameplay. It's a shame that it came short gameplay-wise, since the concept was fantastic.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Phoning Home isn't a bad game, but its gameplay doesn't shine as much as its graphics.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This is a very challenging platformer with a quite unique idea, but quite generic in its execution. There are good ideas behind it, but its control doesn't work as it should, and the trial-and-error gameplay doesn't really help either.
    • 66 Metascore

    Ride has its issues, but taking into account the fact that there aren't many bike games on next generation consoles, it still is an option.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.

    This is a very simple, very lineal JRPG with an interesting combat system that doesn’t really shine. Enjoyable, but not enough to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the franchise.

    Time has taken its toll on Alone in the Dark, but having it available on iOS is still a good choice for those who want to relive the original experience.

    Bringing back this series seemed like a good idea, but the execution is flawed, and we don’t think it will be appealing for neither fans or newcomers.

    This is a simple and entertaining arcade game, but its campaign falls too short in durability.

    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.

    It does a few things right, it does a few things wrong. If you like what it has to offer or if you're looking for an accessible game of its genre, Brut@l can be a good choice.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It is a shame that the game is not as good as the movie it is based on. This is a simple and repetitive shooter that offers little incentive for those players who don't follow the adventures of the young wizard.

    Chocobo GP has many good ideas and is full of potential, but it lacks ambition, which results in a game that relies too much on its franchise.

    Marvel Maximum Collection rescues several classic titles from obscurity, pairing solid emulation with essential quality-of-life features like rewinding and save states. However, the library remains frustratingly inconsistent, balancing iconic arcade hits against mediocre 8 and 16-bit ports. Although it serves as a nostalgic trip, the barebones presentation and limited extras prevent it from being essential.

    Blackwood Crossing is full of good ideas, but its execution isn't so good. Beyond the colorful graphics and art style, the game feels empty, and even mediocre.

    Windbound is a beautiful game that offers a great sense of discovery, although it ultimately fails to offer a meaningful experience. Poor combat and a repetitive formula make it hard to recommend if you’re not a big fan of the genre.

    NightCry brings the old-school Clock Tower formula... and it's technology. Many people is going to struggle to deal with its outdated graphics and control, but if you manage to find its core, you'll get the original Clock Tower feeling back.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A decent game, with variety of modes, but not that well put together. It offers some challenge in the submarine mode, but not enough content to be replayable.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's one of those games you might want to play over a weekend, since it's fun, but some issues with its control and not being particularly original throughout the experiences make it a quite short-lived experience.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Even though it's not perfect, Albedo is an interesting, fresh and original experience. If you're looking for a puzzle-based adventure, this one should be, at least, considered as an option.

    Battle Royale is an interesting spin-off, and it's meant to be played with friends. The online community doesn't seem too active at the moment, so we can only recommend it if you have people to play it with.

    It's not a video game as such, but rather an essay on loneliness expressed through virtual means. We're glad to have experiences like this one, because it means the industry is growing up.

    This is an interactive Star Wars movie that hasn’t really been able to transition successfully to PSVR. Gameplay-wise feels flawed, although it manages to tell us a good story with some memorable moments.

    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.

    It has several different sports, but the game becomes repetitive soon. Maybe more sport disciplines would have helped. It can be an alternative for those looking for a fitness game, but it requires two PlayStation Move controls.

    Arkane moves to the looter shooter genre with a half-cooked game, with no personality and that, basically, does the same as many other games, but worse.

    While Sand Land offers an entertaining universe and characters true to Akira Toriyama's original work, the new content falls short. The game features interesting ideas like vehicle customization but suffers from underdeveloped mechanics, monotonous travel, and simple combat, ultimately making the gameplay experience feel disjointed and less engaging than reading the original story.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The game doesn't improve neither enlarges the original game, falling in content repetitiveness quickly, without polishing anyone of the week aspects of the previous games.

    Combining music and boxing, Beat the Beats for PlayStation VR2 offers enjoyable rhythmic punching gameplay, but falls short due to a lackluster song selection with incomplete versions, limited replay value, and missed opportunities to engage players in improving their performance. Despite solid gameplay mechanics, it fails to match up to similar VR music games, ultimately feeling underwhelming.

    Chasing the Unseen promises an aesthetic and philosophical journey but falls short due to confusing gameplay mechanics and underdeveloped symbolism. Despite its visually stunning fractal-inspired world and towering monsters, the gameplay fails to deliver a cohesive experience, leaving players frustrated and the intended message unclear. While the game's organic development shows potential, it ultimately struggles to fulfill its ambitious vision.

    Every series follower will be pleased with the results, an update of the same proposal of PlayStation 2. Unfortunately, newcomers won't get much satisfaction, and will probably give up the game before finishing it.
