    Although its business model doesn’t seem to be appealing for everyone, Trackmania is a fun racing game that now everyone can try thanks to the free version. It would have been great to have a traditional version of the game, but fans of the series should know that the Trackmania experience is still strong in this one.

    An interesting proposal as an alternative to previous Naruto game, with good production and polished visuals. Maybe its most important vice is that in can result repetitive, a thing that some players may overlook, but other might not.

    The Bard’s Tale returns with a solid adventure. It gets the most important things right, but there are some smaller details that need polishing to become an outstanding entry.

    Code Vein 2 shines with its highly customizable combat and distinct identity, enhanced by strategic allies and unique time-travel mechanics. We appreciate its less cryptic narrative, although it suffers from common anime tropes. Despite an engaging and flexible gameplay loop, its dungeon design remains inferior to genre leaders, and persistent technical issues detract from the overall experience.

    Digimon Survive is not your average Digimon game, and, without doing anything outstanding, still manages to keep us entertained with its unique story.

    DX is a slightly improved and more complete version of Pokkén Tournament. It's not the deepest fighting game or the best if you want to play on your own, but it's still quite enjoyable.

    A good platforming game and a good start for Sonic in the 3DS. It is different from the HD versions, so it is a good options for Sonic fans to complement the main Generations game. Its only flaws are its limited duration and the disappointing design of some stages.

    It's one of the most original puzzle adventures we've played in a while, and although it's a very good game, it had potential to be even better.

    It is an interesting alternative to XCOM, which might be even more appealing for some players. It still has some rough edges, but it is a very solid debut.

    This is a solid remastered of the 128-bit era title, that has aged better than we expected. It isn’t particularly long and we miss a coop mode, but overall it’s an enjoyable adventure.

    We keep liking Phoenix Wright, but this version is not as technically advanced as we expected, and you have to decide if the pleasure of enjoying the story compensates that limitation.

    Looks good, plays well and it's quite fun. It's not unforgettable, but there aren't many games like this on Xbox One, so make sure you have a look at it if you are a Gold subscriber.

    Original, engaging and fun. It might feel a little repetitive, but still deserves a try.

    It's not the best shoot 'em up available, but it's definitely a really good one. Enjoyable and challenging, it's a great option.

    It's a great tribute to a good amount of anime and manga characters, but when it comes to gameplay some ideas are better than others. Still, as a game, it is really fun, and particularly enjoyable if you like the franchises it is based on.

    With a better art direction we could've been playing an epic game, but it feels a little repetitive sometimes. However, the multiplayer modes is charming and will offer us a great experience. It's definitely worth a try.

    Even though it feels like a mobile game, it's very clever and deep. 0rbitalis is definitely the game you want to play when you don't have time for more demanding games.

    Samurai Showdown works great on Switch, but not as well as the other versions. If you just want a casual way of enjoy it, then it’s more than enough, but if you want to get competitive, you might be better off on other platforms.

    Luminous Arc 2 is certainly a more balanced game than the first one, although it doesn't have the freshness of the original.

    There are some issues related to the control, but still we think it's a very enjoyable experience. The difficulty of some sequences are worth mentioning, reminding us of the old-school games.

    There are some things that did frustrate us, but its universe, story and concept are so unique that we couldn't stop playing.

    It's definitely a game those interested in storytelling have to try. Wheels of Aurelia has some shortcomings, but it's also a very unique and enjoyable ride.

    As a tribute to the original is definitely good, but it might not match the standards of 2016. Depending on what you're looking for it's a good or a not-so-good option.

    It's a very peculiar game, definitely not for everyone, but it tells two very interesting stories: the story of the game itself and that of the origins of Grasshopper Manufacture.

    It feels like it's been developed with the multiplayer mode in mind, and consequently, this is how we will make the most of this game. It still is a good experience if you play on your own, but it's way better with friends.

    It doesn't want to reinvent the wheel, but it's a musou that's above the average. If you like the genre and/or the series it is based on, it's a good choice.

    It's nothing new, but it's fun and addictive, with an old-school feel that will definitely be enjoyed by retro action fans.

    Maybe new players who don't know the series might find the story uncohesive or even might be dissapointed by its graphics. But Broken Swords fans should buy it without hesitation.

    Fun and simple with loads of content to keep us busy. It's artistically brilliant, and its OST is a masterpiece. However it's extremely easy and too simple when it comes to the game mechanics. We still have to wait and see what is yet to come, so there's definitely room for improvement. It could have been better, but it's still special.

    The collection offers a variety of gameplay experiences, from simpler Game Boy titles to more complex Game Boy Advance entries. However, some games suffer from poor translations and lack of multiplayer options. Nonetheless, it's an enjoyable way to revisit the series' evolution and its impact on the collectible card game genre.
