    Shift 2: Unleashed builds upon the firm base of the previous game and offers more features and better features. More tracks, vehicles and multiplayer options thanks to the inclusion of the social system Autolog, and also better physics and simulation, which have improved the right way.

    Telling Lies expands the concept seen in Her Story, and it does a great job. We think its predecessor did a better job overall, but if you like to feel like a detective, take notes and uncover the truth, make sure you give it a try.

    FEF: Birthright is the best episode to get to know this series. It's more accessible, but it still has the depth and complexity you find in other episodes. No matter if you know the franchise already or not, it's a game you'll enjoy from the very first minute to the very last.

    Double Fine delivers a short but mesmerizing adventure full of creativity, where minimalist gameplay, stunning visuals, and emotional storytelling through imagery shine, although the puzzles feel too simple and the experience ends too soon.

    Kirby Air Riders offers a chaotic, frenetic, and highly enjoyable experience where action takes precedence over racing, blending multiple modes including Air Ride, top-down races, and an inventive battle royale that rewards skill and experimentation. Despite occasional minor frustrations in the campaign and online features, its vibrant visuals, extensive customization, and relentless fast-paced gameplay make it a unique and addictive title that shines both solo and with friends.

    This new edition of Dragon Quest is with no doubt one of the best RPG titles up to date in the console portfolio. Despite that it is basically an old title, with a very classic game system that doesn't take advantage of the Nintendo DS possibilities, and an improved yet retro technical aspect, nonetheless it was and remains being a milestone in the RPG genre history.

    Compared to the original one, there's more content and fun, even though being free to play is something not everyone will like. However, it lives up to the expectation, and does deserve a try.

    Any fan of the series should be considering buying this game, as long as they don't mind the lack of physical version or not being translated into any other language but English. There's little innovation here, but it's addictive, fun and satisfying.

    DiRT Rally arrives on consoles with a version as good as the original on PC. It still is one of the best rally games we've played in a long time, and if you've missed Colin McRae, we're happy to tell you its essence is back.

    Starhawk is not exactly a sequel to Warhack, but it can repeat its success and please fans of Warhawk and also many new players. It is not that good as a single-player game as it is too short, but its multiplayer is great and recommended for those who love something new.

    It is faithful to its arcade style and offers hours of spectacle and craziness. The game shines because of its obvious merits and also the absence of competitors. Those who wanted the series to reappear or want and adrenaline burst with their game pad should get it.

    The Thousand-Year Door is a beautiful remake of one of the best Mario RPGs. It isn’t particularly ambitious beyond its new graphics and a couple of nice surprises, but if you haven’t played the original or simply fancy rediscovering this GameCube classic, it is a fantastic choice for Switch players.

    SUPERHOT makes something new out of a genre where everything seemed to be invented. Just a little bit more variety (more weapons, more situations...) and it could've been a modern classic. Still, it's one of those games you shouldn't miss.

    Perhaps PVP has been left a little behind (although the quests that encourage localized world PVP are very good) and we have encountered the typical class balance flaws that are already being improved, but Blizzard certainly has everything to get back on the path to success with this expansion...Now we just have to hope that the content updates are regular and that, as promised, we don't have to wait two years for the next expansion, Midnight, returning even more vitality to World of Warcraft, which, 20 years later, seems to be entering another great era.

    An addictive game that might seem impossible to beat at first, but has a very adjusted difficulty level and becomes very challenging as soon as you get used to the controls.

    Turn 10 has done a great job with Forza Motorsport 6, fixing many of the issues its predecessor had. Still, we think it should try to be more ambitious so it really feels like a next generation game. One way or another, is one of the best racing simulators we’ve ever played.

    Star Ocean: Second Evolution is, undoubtedly, a better title than its predecessor from a technical standpoint and also in its gameplay and story. It is an excellent role-playing title, suitable both for newcomers who want to know the series as for classic fans of the series that, although many years have passed since the original's release, won't disappoint Square Enix classic RPGs followers.
