Payback is enjoyable because the foundations it is build on (Criterion's Burnout Paradise foundations) still work, but after this break we expected something more. Need for Speed is a good game that needs new ideas or a much better execution (or both) to be again the great franchise it was.

Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment is a very good options for genre fans looking for a tactic RPG title direct and entertaining.

The game improves significantly over its predecessor with enhanced graphics, better controls, and a rich open world to explore, though it still suffers from frustrating platforming mechanics and some performance issues. Despite these flaws, its atmospheric design and thoughtful exploration offer a compelling experience for fans of contemplative adventures.

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.

The most remarkable aspect of this adventure is the constant sense of discovery. Although the puzzles and physics engine don't always quite measure up, the game's overall approach is ideal for unwinding after a hard day, or simply for when we feel like stepping into the skin of one of these little lizards for a while. After all, that is what defines video games: the opportunity to experience adventures that, in any other context, would be unthinkable.

Escape Academy is fun and works as a puzzle game, but it fails to become some sort of escape room simulator.

If you just care about the games, this is an incredible collection with some of the best turn-based strategy games ever made. However, the adaptation is far from that quality on a technical level, so you’ll have to sacrifice a lot graphics-wise for portability.

This episode feels like for every step forward it takes one step back. It's a good episode, but we hope all the promising ideas we have here become real in the future.

If you have enough patience, helping Sophie will be a pleasure for the senses, with many hours of entertainment as a reward.

Although the shoot'em up genre is one of the most populated in the Xbox Marketplace, we have to reckon this as one of the most original and best polished, compensating its short campaign mode with comprehensive multiplayer modes, both local and online.

Danger Zone is a very fun arcade on a budget, something Burnout fans will enjoy. It's very limited, but it takes us closer to the promised Burnout 3 spiritual successor.

There are some issues that prevent it from becoming a better game, but still it delivers a good feeling that fans of the original game will enjoy.

It is something focused on the audience that wants to try something different. It's unique, and that means not everyone will like it. If you like what you see, probably it deserves a try.

Gecko Gods delivers a serene and visually enchanting exploration experience, capturing the tactile joy of movement as a gecko. Its mystical atmosphere and superb art style foster a constant sense of discovery, yet persistent technical performance issues and an erratic, frustrating camera frequently mar this otherwise charming and meditative puzzle-platforming adventure.

Is a mysterious adventure with really good ideas. There are some aspects that could be polished to make it more engaging, but overall it’s a great choice if you like exploring worlds in VR.

It's simple and it doesn't have much content, but it's also very accessible and a lot of fun when played with friends. And considering how cheap it is, you can't really ask for much more.

This is a smaller Kirby game, but still quite enjoyable. If you want more Kirby and you're ok with a less traditional approach, this is a good choice.

It has some aspects with room for improvement, but it delivers tons of fun and works pretty well as a fighting game. Fans of the franchise will enjoy tons of "fan service" as well.

A good game that mantains the depth of the classic gameplay of the series and that brings news ideas thanks to the change in setting. The battles are very realistic and the player has plenty of freedom to approach them the way they want.

Captain Tsubasa fans will definitely enjoy this title, although micro transactions are far from honest. Considering you can download it for free, I think at least it's worth a try.

This adaptation delivers the best franchise experience yet through a vibrant open world and accessible combat. Although it captures the series' charm, it suffers from overly familiar mechanics and shallow difficulty. Despite its impressive visuals, the inevitable progression hurdles and fierce genre competition hinder its long-term appeal for seasoned players.

Blades of Fire left us with a bittersweet taste in our mouths. It's a title that does many things right and has some interesting ideas, but it also stumbles with each of its successes. We loved its weapon forging system and it's by far the best part of the game. The combat system can be a bit clunky, but it works well, is challenging and well-designed, and the scenarios are full of secrets that encourage exploration. However, its story and characters aren't engaging in the slightest, there are certain situations that can be somewhat frustrating for the wrong reasons, the backtracking isn't very well balanced, and there are too many moments that make us go around in circles that don't add anything. All in all, if you're looking for a demanding action-adventure with its own ideas and you don't think its flaws will dampen your enjoyment too much, here you'll find an entertaining and very complete production that might be worth checking out.

Quake Arena Arcade is a more than decent adaptation, but it has certain flaws in the online experience that can't be overlooked.

Backed by a quality studio, Battle Fantasia is an interesting fighting game which can result risky at times. It has some RPG elements, although shallow, which change some of the more typical aspects of its genre, and only a dozen characters. The advantage is that there are no filler characters, but a larger line-up would have favoured the game with more variety.

Taking into account Wii U doesn't have a Minecraft version yet, this is a nice option, particularly if the developers fulfill their promises of updating the game.

Rogue still is very enjoyable, maybe even more than you think, but if you already played it this remaster doesn't offer anything new.

Shadow Warrior 3 polishes its gameplay to deliver a fun game full of gore, but its lack of depth might make it a bit repetitive for some players.

A good game that borrows some inspiration from the big platforming games. It has some issues, but there's loads of fun waiting to be had here.
