    MechaNika is a very mature game hidden behind a childish look. If you like adventure games and you're looking for something unique and different, give this one a go.

    • 75 Critic Score
    It's aimed at skilled players, but it's a great experience if you play enough to get used to its mechanics.

    The "toys-to-life" genre takes yet another step forward with this new episode of Skylanders. It is obviously aimed at a certain audience, but that audience will love the new features included in SuperChargers.

    Telltale delivers a great tribute to Minecraft, an interesting and well-written "story mode" for this game that, probably because it's addressed to a younger audience, doesn't match the experience we've gotten from other of their series.

    It is not a very deep revision, but it still is a great fighting game that 2D fighting fans shouldn't miss, particularly if have played this franchise before.

    Even though it's very far from revolutionary, Just Dance 2016 is still fun, and probably the most complete episode of the series.

    If you like roguelikes, then this game is worth a try. The problem is that it might not be the best option for players new to the genre nor for veterans. But if you're somewhere in between, it can be a good choice.

    Empire TV Tycoon borrows from other games and also adds its own touch to deliver a very interesting strategy game. Those who look for something different within this genre should have a look at it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It has a solid base, but poor visuals, the lack of new features and being quite predictable end up making it a game that will only appeal a very small audience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It is not the best version and it could have been fit better on PS Vita, but we still loved how the game holds up. Fans of old-school action games will enjoy this one.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Even though it arrives a few years late, at least we have the opportunity to try this version of the game, which clearly is the "good one". Everything makes sense on Wii, and even though it feels a little bit outdated, it still is interesting and fun for those who know the game they're buying.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    KWAAN is an experiment gone right. It's a game to be enjoyed without pressure, without focusing on its possibilities but on its evolution, on being part of it and, somehow, being happier.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This app is well designed, clever and interesting, and can easily be one of the best AR experiences we've seen on a mobile device. If you like what it offers, it is also quite clever purchase the paid version.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Even though the foundations are promising, the game feels weak when it comes to many of its gameplay elements. It can be enjoyed, but we really hope we get to see a more elaborated sequel with a bigger budget.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Level 22 is fun, well done and engaging, but it's hard to hide its mobile concept. Still, if you know what the game is meant to offer, it's a good choice.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a really good adventure, with only a few details preventing it from being an excellent adventure. If you like the genre, it's a game we're sure you'll enjoy.

    Total War Battles: Kingdom is not the adaptation many users expected from the franchise, but after Shogun it's definitely a step in the right direction, fun and with good ideas.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    If you're looking for a platformer with some action, this is a great choice, and also an interesting example of what indie Japanese developers can achieve.

    FTWD: Dead Run works and it has some interesting ideas, but license aside, we think there are better alternatives available in the App Store.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Pharaonic brings its own take on the Dark Souls with a quite interesting and challenging game. Considering its limited budget, it's definitely a good choice for those interested in this type of experience.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    With a better level design it could've been a new modern classic, but it still is a beautiful and enjoyable game with a couple of outstanding sequences.

    Conga Master might fall a little short of content, but it's a very original experience, and also quite addictive.

    Feral Rites is a good game with a nice 128-bit vibe. Quite enjoyable if you're not expecting much.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Ginger is a good 3D platformer, but the limitations of a tight indie budget are quite noticeable. If you don't mind them, it's worth a try.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    King Lucas is a very interesting and addictive game, but it's going to be hard for it to get the players attention, since it doesn't have any striking feature. Still, it's rewarding if you play it.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    BOTOLO is weird, and we like that. Its competitive gameplay is deep but accessible, and we can guarantee you're going to have some fun and intense matches playing with friends.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Spheroids is simple, addictive, challenging and fun. A good game for "old-schoolers" that works really well on PS Vita.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A really good entry for the beat 'em up franchise, and a great choice for both newcomers and old fans.

    If you enjoy Civilization and you don't mind smaller production values, Neo ATLAS can offer a very addictive experience with very interesting gameplay mechanics.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a good dungeon crawler, but it really shines when played with friends. Together with its remarkable audiovisual presentation, it's a very solid choice.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a great example of how to make a game with a retro feeling. It keeps the 8-bit essence but it's not limited by it, and bring new things to the table.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Iron Cyprticle is a nice surprise, whether you played it Iron Fisticle or not. A very addictive twin-stick shooter, especially when played with friends.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is a very well-designed game that will entertain us by challenging our brain. One of those titles where the gameplay is the most important thing.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Phantom Trigger is a very solid game, both gameplay-wise and audiovisually. If you like this genre you might not find something new here, though, since it borrows from many similar games.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    The core of the gameplay is pretty good, but it gets repetitive and the in-app purchases, although not mandatory, end up showing up.

    One of the best Telltale's series is slightly remastered for those who haven't played it yet, or for those who want to go back to it on the new consoles. No surprises here, but the quality of this collection is out of doubt.

    If you miss those old-school wrestling games from the 90s, you'll probably enjoy this one. It's deeper than it looks, and it really captures the feeling.

    Infinos Gaiden isn't perfect, but is memorable. It brings back the essence of the old-school shoot 'em ups, and it does it in a way that it's good for fans as well as ideal for newcomers.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    It's enjoyable and charming, but also too simple and short. It's not a bad option for a younger audience, but it's definitely not aimed at more experienced players.

    Warlock’s Tower nails the retro feeling, with an excellent design and and addictive concept that even after 100 levels makes you ask for more. And let’s not forget its tiny price.

    This seques tries to bring some innovation to the combat, and overall it’s a good adventure, but it’s missing some polishing -just like its predecessor.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    This is a fighting game with some solid ideas, very enjoyable no matter if you’re new to the genre or a veteran. It has its ups and downs, and we’re not sure about how strong its community will be, but it’s worth a try if you want something different from the main franchises.
