    Final Fantasy XVI is a fantastic adventure, but slightly irregular. There are some aspects that prevent it from being on the podium with the best entries in the franchise, but, when it is over, it leaves a great aftertaste that makes you forget about those imperfections.

    This is just a decent remaster of two incredible games that lacks some ambition. The games, of course, are still as fantastic as they were when they were first released.

    Blind Drive is definitely something new, surprising and fun. It can get a bit repetitive, but it’s a game you need to check out if you’re looking for something different.

    Gran Turismo 7 is a great game on and off-road, thanks to its unbelievable passion for all things motorsport. Hundreds of hours of content every car lover will enjoy.

    DiRT 3 is again a great offroad racing game, midway between arcade and simulation and fully customizable by the player. It improves its graphics and controls, and also adds more assitance to less experimented users. The addition of Gymkhanas is good, although it may not convince those users who just want to race in tracks. Overall, a great sequel that is still the best in what it does.

    This frantic roguelite evolves the Housemarque formula into the year's most intense shooter. It delivers an exquisite control scheme and breathtaking bullet-ballet combat, further enriched by a flexible difficulty system and meaningful permanent progression. Although the enemy variety feels slightly limited, the addictive loop and monumental boss encounters cement it as a superior, more accessible successor.

    This masterful spin-off translates the franchise's addictive essence into a surprisingly deep card-based dungeon crawler. Its strategic combo system and rewarding progression loop create an incredibly satisfying experience, bolstered by a stellar soundtrack. Although it feels less infinite than its predecessor, its polished mechanics and immense value make it an essential, high-quality experience.

    This collection brings back two of Mario’s finest 3D adventures with upgraded resolution, some welcome features like co-op and assist modes, and added content such as new chapters and music, yet it falls short of its potential due to its conservative remastering and lack of deeper graphical or structural updates.

    MachineGames delivers a heartfelt tribute to the Indiana Jones saga, with great level design, clever puzzles, and impressive audiovisuals. However, the game suffers from poor enemy AI, simplistic stealth mechanics, and lackluster combat, which prevent it from reaching its full potential despite its appeal to franchise fans.

    One of those excellent App Store games which is difficult to find between so many similar games. It offers more than 30 hours of length, classic roleplaying gameplay and a lot of interesting possibilities with a great graphics engine.

    This is a dream come true. Everything we can expect from a Dragon Ball game is here, and not only it looks amazing, but it also plays wonderfully. One of the first must-have from 2018.

    Link’s Awakening hasn’t aged a bit. It’s fantastic design with now beautiful graphics make it as enjoyable as when it came out. No matter if you played it a million times or if you hadn’t heard about it before, it’s an adventure you cannot miss.

    Odyssey is fun and beautiful, but instead of trying to offer something new and fresh, it follows last entry’s steps way too closely. It’s a good, enjoyable game, but can also be quite boring sometimes since it choses to give player quantity over quality.

    A great game for one of the greatest gaming franchises based on superheroes. Batman: AK will surprise you from its beginning to its end in an adventure full of content and unforgettable moments.

    Very few times you can say this about a downloadable content, but with ten hours of one-player campaign, a completely new story, refined graphics and sound and more multiplayer modes, Undead Nightmare is worth every cent it costs.

    Fans of Max Payne in PC can be happy. Rockstar has done its homework and this is not just a port. All the virtues of the console version are here, but its graphics have been greatly improved and with a powerful machines we can enjoy an spectacle. If you like action games and your PC is up-to-date, this is a great acquisition.

    Spider-Man is probably Insomniac’s best game, and the best Spider-Man game to date. A great adventure everyone can enjoy and fans of the superhero will love.

    A timeless classic no one should miss. As a re-remaster doesn't offer much new, but if you haven't played it yet, it's the best way to do it.

    Pokémon is back with a great RPG 3DS owners shouldn't miss. Without breaking the core experience of the series, this episode feels fresh and new, and manages to prove itself once again as one of the most solid franchises of the industry.

    A surprisingly addictive experience, with loads of fun to offer as long as we have friends to bring home and play with, since it's multiplayer-focused and there's no online modes.

    There's nothing new in its concept, but the execution is great, and Hollow Knight becomes one of the best modern metroidvanias. A must have if you like this genre.

    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.

    Retro Studios has again recovered a veteran Nintendo series with the same result: an excelent game. A beautiful, long, difficult addictive, enjoyable and replayable game which respect Rareware's original works, but adds new features, and gameplay-wise is solid as a stone.

    Maybe gamers doubted if this Black Ops was going to be on par with the games made by Infinity War, but it even surpasses them in some aspects.
