Outland has enough virtues to be remembered as one of the best platforms games of the year. If you like the genre this is a must-have.

Bayonetta is still great, although it's outshined by its incredible sequel. If you've never played it, you can discover the whole series on Switch, and on top of that, enjoy it for the first time on the go.

One of the best platformers in the last few years comes back in a great shape. If you haven't played it yet, this is another great opportunity.

Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 2 was and still is a great RPG. Record Breaker is just an very good excuse to replay it, discover it or get back to it.

GOW4 fits perfectly as a fourth episode. It keeps the same core of the franchise and expands it with good new ideas in every aspect of the game.

Halo 5 is a game Xbox One users cannot miss. There are some aspects of it we haven't enjoyed so much, but in general terms it's an experience that lives up to the bar set by its predecessors.

The very same game we played almost ten years ago, now it's been adapted to fit almost every pocket. This version comes with visual upgrades and adapted touch controls, and becomes an unmissable opportunity for those wanting to go back to San Andreas.

Capcom enhances again its blockbuster, although perhaps the new features are not worth the price. If you have not played the previous SF4 versions, this is the best chance to try the return of the classic fighter.

Lil Gator Game delivers a fantastic experience, based on free roaming and exploration where the main is goal is clear: let the player have fun. And, at that, it succeeds.

It's not an app that will reinvent the genre, but it offers good graphics, nice physics and well-designed levels. There's no revolution here, but it's interesting for both kids and adults.

Day of the Tentacle is a master piece of the graphic adventures, and this remaster delivers everything we can expect from it. If you haven't played it, now it's the best time to do it.

You will love Football Manager 2012 if you liked the 2011 version, but you can also think that the new features are not that worthy. If it is your first game in the series, or you have been away for a while, it is a very recommended football management simulator.

If you like what Assassin’s Creed has become, then you’ll enjoy Valhalla. It’s fun, big and beautiful, but it’s also repetitive and predictable.

Nintendo Switch gets a very good port of this legendary adventure. Portability aside, there aren’t many reasons to buy this game again on Switch, but if you haven’t played it or you want it on the go, you can find a very solid version here.

The most complete version so far is one of those games you don't want to miss if you've just bought your new Wii U. Beautiful and deep, Trine 2 is as good as we've seen it on other platforms.

Pocket Dungeon is a fun game with great ideas, although sometimes we feel the blending of genres has room for improvement.

Get into Hetfield's skin with the best Guitar Hero spin-off to date.

This is just a great example of how to evolve classic ideas to make them feel fresh. Guacamelee! is one of those games you will play till you finish it.

Beautiful, unique and different. Gorogoa is an incredible puzzle game that feels short, but manages to deliver an incredible sense of discovery and surprise every single second.

Like a Dragon is a great adventure, that even with its flaws, manages to bring new ideas to the series and make it feel fresh and new without losing its essence.

It's as strong as always, but you can feel this generation is coming to an end, and its really hard to make a significant evolution. In any case, it perfect for any basketball fan.

Darkest Dungeon is one of those games that will test your determination, but if you invest your time and patience, you'll be greatly rewarded. Once you're in, it's really hard to leave.

Yooka & Laylee are back with a outstanding platformer. This is a great take on the Donkey Kong Country formula, but also with its own personality. If you like this genre, you cannot miss it.

All You Can Eat gives us two incredibly fun games and a few small surprises, and makes it all look better than ever before.

Highly recommended for 2D fighting fans, a must-have for those who enjoyed the previous game, an excellent chance to return to a genre for those who left it years ago, and also a good option for many to discover a new style of game, through a charming roster of characters.

A great example of a remasterization. Two great games better than ever, and a great opportunity to discover or rediscover them.

The Walking Dead: Episode 2 - Starved for Help is a very satisfying game and its only flaws are technical. It keeps the same gameplay than the first game, but Telltalte has managed to give the script a twist for it to feel different and surprise us again. Three hours of pure fun, a must have for comic fans.

Even with its flaws, Guardians of the Galaxy is a great adventure we’ve had a lot of fun with, thanks to its impressive art design, its great narrative and chemistry between the clumsiest heroes in the galaxy.

Mario & Luigi are back with a classic great adventure, now available on 3DS. Bowser Jr.’s Journey is a nice addition, but if you played the original you’re not missing a lot. Either way, it’s a game that we’ve enjoyed from the very first second.

Mankind Divided doesn't risk too much and follows closely the Deus Ex formula, but this isn't something negative. This new episode is a great mix of RPG, stealth and action you don't want to miss if you enjoyed Human Revolution.

It is the same great game we enjoyed six years ago, but visually upgraded. Its gameplay hasn't aged, and its levels are still varied and thrilling. We only miss a retail edition including this game and Code Veronica HD, just like in Japan, as the digital download can be considered pricey by many players.

Quotation forthcoming.

Although it has lost part of the impact of the previous game, Guerrilla Games has again achieved a great first-person shooter, greatly improving the campaign mode and emphasizing its personality.

Definitely a step forward, but still it doesn't surprise. This is the common problem of the annual series, but we need to make it clear that this episode means an improvement compared to F1 2011. Now, if you have the last episode it's up to you to decide whether the new one is worth it. If you don't, it's a wonderful racing game and the best F1 title we've seen in years.

If you miss Advance Wars, you have to try this. It might not be as good as Nintendo’s franchise, but it's definitely a very enjoyable experience for fans of this formula.

Stacking is a fresh and original game, full of fun situations which challenge us to solve puzzles that require some intellectual effort.

Battlefield 1943 focuses on multiplayer, and achieves a great level of quality. Classic, well-made and fun as soon as some friends join in, it is a sure bet provided we are going to have war partners.

Thumper takes a little from music games, racing games and infinite runners to become one of those VR titles you need to try.

This new edition takes important steps forward. The tires are more important and the different types are more noticiable when driving, and the addition of DRS and more strategy options changes the way to race. It has also added much needed features like the safety car or the possibility to manage the whole Grand Prix event, from the free training durint Friday to the race on Sunday. It still has plenty of room for improvement and it is not the perfect simulator yet, but Formula 1 fans will be pleased again by this product.

Again, the Professor Layton series triumphs in the adventure and puzzle genre. Certainly the game will satisfy both casual players and genre fanatics.

Birds and Bombs has a very simple concept, which is its strongest value.

The combination of genres is very interesting, and delivers an intense and engaging experience. A great choice for those in search of a space adventure.

If you love classic FPS, give Boltgun a try. It’s a love letter to the genre with beautiful graphics and intense shootings.

In fact, aside from some potential quality-of-life improvements that weren't implemented, the only real drawback is the fact that the two titles weren't included as they were originally conceived in the late eighties. This would have allowed players, both seasoned veterans and newcomers, to see how the genre has evolved and the enormous importance this franchise had in defining many other classics that have provided us with countless hours of entertainment. If you're a fan of the franchise, it's a no-brainer. If not, it's the perfect opportunity to delve into the origins of the JRPG with modern touches. Don't miss out.

Frostpunk is addictive, accessible but hard to master, and deeper than you expect, not only when it comes you gameplay, but what it actually manages to make you feel.

Keep Driving offers us a very original experience, focused on sensations and decisions, where each choice opens the door to a new trip. It is a game designed to be completed multiple times, since a single trip is not going to be representative of everything it has to offer, and for that reason we believe that it should have gone deeper into its systems, but we understand that the experience it seeks is a more relaxed one; an experience that fits with that nostalgic proposal of the road trip. It is not perfect, but if you enjoy different games, which are out of the ordinary, and you fancy a trip where each route is an invitation to build your own story, we believe that it deserves a chance.

This year’s entry feels like a big step forward for the franchise, even if the new additions aren’t that big. It’s definitely one of the best titles of the series that brings a deeper take on management.

The latest Mortal Kombat is, in our opinion, the best in the series so far. This is more ambitious than the previous ones, has a perfect roster of fighters and offers more content than any other fighting game.

Polybius is a mind-blowing experience in VR, a shoot 'em up with all the craziness and solid gameplay you can expect from Jeff Minter. It is a quite niche game, yes, and playing on a regular TV isn't so overwhelming (in a good way), but Polybius is very enjoyable in any way.

This collection is a fantastic adaptation of one of the best franchises ever made. They are that type of game that can be played years later and they’re still as enjoyable as when they first came out, so wether it’s your first or your tenth time with them, this is your chance to play them on the go.

Criterion just did it again. This is one of the best driving games we've seen in the last few years. Full of content and with many hours of fun waiting for us, no matter if we're playing alone or online. It shows that probably the only way to improve an open-world title is waiting for a more powerful hardware, since Criterion can only beat itself. Definitely a must-have.

As a standalone expansion, The Lost Legacy does a good job, delivering yet another great adventure with everything you can expect from the series. The new open area felt a little bit disappointing, but fortunately the rest is pure Uncharted, and it continues to be one of the most visually-outstanding franchises on Sony's consoles.

SoulCalibur is back with a great game that is a pleasure to play. We are not very happy with the DLC policy or the Reversal Edge moves, but everything else is very, very good.

HLD merges a solid audiovisual presentation and a very interesting gameplay. It might get too difficult for some players, but if you're used to playing RPGs and action games then there's nothing to fear.

We think Skate 2 still has some room for improvement in control, however advances in this part, but it looks like it will have a great future as it evolves building on its base.

This is a fantastic beat ‘em up, beautiful and fun that brings the Turtles back to the beat ‘em up heaven where they belong.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a formidable reconstruction that is absolutely faithful to the original games, which includes the additions that were made in different versions, adding even more aspects to make it a very enjoyable RPG today. Due to the high fidelity with respect to the classic, its conventions and a very purist style of play are maintained, something that is aimed especially at veterans. In any case, it is an excellent entry point to discover the Dragon Quest license, and it is important to play it in case in the future you want to be encouraged to discover its narrative sequel, which we will have next year with Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake.

This is the definitive Magic experience on PC. It’s free-to-play, but it’s incredibly well balanced and lets us enjoy it without hassle. If you enjoy card-based games, give it a try.

A 3D third-person shooter, surprisingly fresh and addictive with many customizable options for our character. Not very original or visually stunning, but still very enjoyable. The lack of campaign mode and its price are the two things customers might consider negative, but it is definitely one of the best games of this genre on iOS.

In spite of lacking some more content, arcade fans will find a very interesting game they should at least try out, and the rest of gamers might be pleasantly surprised by its ideas.

Unless you're a very, very experienced player, Magic Duels delivers a great Magic experience, ideal for both the regular user and new potential fans.

Infernax is a solid metroidvania that, even if it doesn’t try to do anything new or exciting, becomes a good option for those who enjoy the genre and a NES-like art style.

It's very, very weird, but very, very addictive. If you're looking for a bizarre experience to spend hours in front of your iDevice, this might be your best choice.

We like the way the comic book has been adapted to a videogame. It is faithful to the essence of Robert Kirkman work and, although it offers a different story, it will captivate us. If you don't know the comic books you will also like this game, as its gameplay is quite unique an succesfully blends adventure, action and story telling, with a very interesting choice system.

Future Tone is a great game for newcomers and veterans that you can enjoy right from the beginning.

Future Tone is a great game for newcomers and veterans that you can enjoy right from the beginning.

But what separates Hogwarts Legacy from others of its kind is being Hogwarts Legacy: the stunning recreation of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the world around it. Walk through the lines we read. Entering the rooms that we could not see in the cinema seat. Hogwarts Legacy has its flaws, but when dreams come true they always do.

A remarkable action-adventure game at a very reasonable price, which nostalgic players will love.

This is a game for those who enjoy what a game used to be: a challenge. If that's not what you're looking for, even the "casual mode" could be too much for you.

The latest main entry to the series is a great game that offers more situations than your average Resident Evil, and successfully manages to create a memorable adventure, but also feels irregular and fails to reach the greatness of the best titles in the franchise.

Rock followers will keep favouring Guitar Hero, but now everyone can turn his home into a disco, and a friend meeting in a fun music session.

What started as a mod, ended up being the best way to enjoy Half-Life, not only with its visual upgrades, but also with new features and tweaks to make it better than ever.

It is not the game of the year, but it is a very welcomed blast of fresh air for the first-person shooter genre, and also a very charming game with its own personality.

This well-crafted collection offers a strong selection of classic Gradius and Salamander arcade titles enhanced with modern quality-of-life options and the excellent addition of Salamander III, though it feels incomplete without key entries like Gradius IV and Gaiden, preventing it from being the definitive anthology.

FRU is, together with Fantasia: Music Evolved, the best game for Kinect on Xbox One. It's fresh, original and fun, so if you're slightly interested in Kinect, you shouldn't miss it.

Maybe we could have waited for some new features from Obsidian, apart for the scenario change and some new improvements in gameplay. But you could also ask why change something that works so well. The recommendation is clear: If you liked Fallout 3, don't hesitate in getting New Vegas.

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.

Xenoblade Chronicles X made us feel like we're exploring an uncharted world through an adventure like no other, unique, deep and beautiful. If you like RPGs, this is a game you cannot miss.

A visually stunning, emotionally charged, and narratively focused journey with intense combat and clever perspective-based puzzles, now improved with a flawless 60 fps mode, DualSense features, and extra modes; however, its linear structure, modest gameplay variety, and niche appeal mean it won’t satisfy those seeking more traditional action or puzzle depth.

Sakaguchi still knows how to put up a great game, even if it's a mobile free-to-play. It's fresh and addictive, and it deserves an opportunity on your Android or iDevice.

One the best games for PS4 so far. It's available for free with PS Plus, so if you've got a subscription, make sure you spend some quality time with this title.

Fractional Games didn't reinvent the wheel this time, but they created a compelling universe, a great story and a engaging horror adventure. If you enjoy first-person, stealth-based horror games, you shouldn't miss this one.

Need for Speed reinvents itself with a game very different to the series tradition but that results in an excellent racing game, with the right dose of simulation

It is not a revolution for sandbox games, but it makes the most of their possibilities to make crazy and fun things, in an open world full of cool and bizarre features. Those who are looking for a compelling story should consider other games, but Saints Row: The Third is the best in providing crazy fun.

Despite some flaws we would like to see fixed, Gran Turismo 5 offers simulation and many hours of entertainment. Anyone who has enjoyed the series should buy the game; it is not only the number one driving game, but also more complete than previous entries. A machine ready to race.

We think Skate 2 has still some room for improvement in control, however advances in this part, but it looks like it will have a great future as it evolves building on its base.

Quotation forthcoming.

This remaster revitalizes a classic JRPG with gorgeous high-definition visuals, quality-of-life improvements like adjustable battle speed and encounter rates, and a polished interface that surpasses the original, although the new minigames feel disconnected from the main story and serve more as tech demos than meaningful additions.

This is a very interesting adventure where fishing and horror goes hand in hand to deliver a dark story that we really enjoyed uncovering.

It's one of the best graphic adventures we've played lately, which brings back the essence of LucasArts. If you ever liked this genre, don't miss Thimbleweed Park.

This is the best entries in the series so far. It not only delivers an excellent simulation, but also a great amount of modes and content, including F2 and classic cars.

Chants of Sennaar shines when focusing on translating unknown languages, but its puzzles and stealth sequences are not as good and make the game worse.

Baba is You is a small masterpiece of puzzle design. It’s hard to describe how clever this game is, and we can only encourage players who enjoy logic-based games to give it a try.
