    Pure fun and maximum challenge. This is an addictive, almost hypnotic experience.

    They are three games of indisputable quality, adding 80 hours of gameplay, in a single disc and with some new features.. This is hands down one of the most interesting packages in the market, and a good example of the good health of some classics of the past generation.

    GTA V is one of the best PC versions we've seen in a long while. The new features might not be enough to replay the game, but if you haven't played it yet, you'll find this to be a great game that's better than ever.

    Don't think for one moment that The Beatles Rock Band is just a new title in the series. The Beatles drew the masses in their time like no one before, and when you start playing this title you feel yourself submerged in this sparkling sensation.

    It doesn't revolutionize the formula, but innovates on it enough to become again a game that engages you from the very beginning.

    This time it makes it right, and shows love to the franchise, even though some players might not like the online experience. So far, they've done a great job bringing back Eorzea, and we really hope they continue to fight to keep it alive.

    This is an original a refreshing title, able to offer great entertainment and fun while exploring its environments and facing its challenges. Its use of water brings a new twist to adventure games.

    Halo: Reach again sets the benchmark of how to make a combat game, be it first or third person. Its freedom to be played and approach any situation makes it a unique game. Its only flaw is the duration of the story, a bit shot, although many will feel compensated by its overwhelming multiplayer mode.

    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.

    From Software has created another fantastic game, and this time it's the perfect balance between action, platforming and stealth. If you like the Souls concept, you’ll find it here with a very interesting twist.

    If you own the original version, there aren't many reasons to upgrade, but if you don't, this is the best way to enjoy one of the best 2D platforming adventure we've played in a long while.

    Doom Eternal is, in 2020, what Doom 2 was in 1994: one of the best FPS of its generation. Eternal is an incredible and brutal experience that you cannot miss.

    Tekken 8 is the most fun Tekken to play, improves the online and the content for a single player. It is the best launch possible to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the saga. It has a great gameplay, a varied and solid roster, a spectacular story mode, and a lot of modes and customization options. It also has some flaws, such as the lack of some classic characters, the uneven quality of the scenarios, or the absence of a Tekken Force mode or similar.

    A must-have that demonstrates that Zelda is still in great form, and celebrates in the best possible way the 25th birthday of the series. As each Zelda game, it is outstanding. Not only one of the best games in Wii history, but also one of the best in the generation.

    Fez
    We still feel like this is one of the best games of the current generation of consoles, and having it available on more platforms is just a great reason to replay it. If you like platform games and exploring maps, this is a game you cannot miss.

    Sometimes touted as overestimated, Braid hasn't aged at all. It is such a recommendable game for PlayStation 3 users as it was for the others systems at the time, and hasn't lost its freshness and originality.

    It's hard to find weaknesses in this game. If you don't like it probably it's just because you'd rather play something else. But Ni No Kuni is way more than just pretty graphics or a nice story: it's one of the best RPGs on PlayStation 3.

    Definitely, no videogame fan should let Fallout 3 escape. There are so many things you can do, places you can explore and situations to experiment, that regardless the many times we could say this is a superb title, an instant classic, there is no better way to understand the reason for such praise than to get lost in the ruinous Washington D.C. region.

    This is probably the darkest, weirdest and most unique Zelda ever released, and it's still as good as it was on N64. The visual improvements and the gameplay tweaks are reason enough to go back to it, if you haven't played it before.

    This is an outstanding game in every aspect, that also adds very interesting ideas. If you've ever enjoyed an Japanese RPG, this is a title you cannot miss.

    This is one of the best remakes ever made –a perfect example of how to bring a game back, and a reason to buy a PS5.

    Supergiant Games refines and expands its acclaimed roguelite formula with a deeper story, richer worldbuilding, and a superb new protagonist, while offering even more varied combat and stunning art design; though some early areas and builds feel repetitive and unbalanced, it remains a polished, addictive, and masterfully crafted sequel worthy of the genre’s throne.

    The best Assassin's Creed and one of the best games of the year. Bigger and better, and still an Assassin's Creed. It takes the core of the series and takes it to a whole new level in almost every aspect. It provides dozens of hours of gameplay, and, if you forgive some technical issues, you'll be in front of one of the best adventures we've seen in the last few years.

    This is a game you cannot miss. The whole game offers more than many retail titles, for only 1,200 Microsoft Points. The visuals are stunning, the battle system is entertaining and there's many maps for us to explore. We can conclude by saying that it's one of the best games on Xbox Live Arcade.

    Blizzard has done a great job adapting the UI and the control system to consoles, so now it's up to you how you prefer playing it. Either way, just make sure you don't miss it.

    Trine 2 is a lesson of how a great game should be. Action, platforming, puzzles, an impressive visual design, a great soundtrack, amazing level design and one of the best cooperative modes, both local and online, we have seen in a very long time.

    It brings back all the elements that made the previous episodes as great as they are, wrapped up by Star Wars. It's still as fun as always, and really recommended if you're a fan of any of the series.

    From Software delivers its best work so far, a game that makes the Souls series better than ever. It's no longer surprising, but it's still an experience you don't want to miss.

    Astro Bot is what deserves to be called a video game, and a beautiful homage to the history of PlayStation. It’s full of creativity and designed to surprise the player and let them have fun. A must have for PS5 owners.

    Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is an outstanding game, as is its PS4 version. It feels like a proper game of the series with enough content to justify its subscription model.

    This is an interesting toy, but as a game it’s definitely limited. We’re sure younger players will love it, although we would have liked to see a more ambitious take on the concept.

    Pearl Abyss delivers an exceptionally ambitious open-world epic that pushes technical boundaries with its proprietary BlackSpace Engine. Although the combat is visceral and the world is visually breathtaking, the title currently suffers from a lack of focus and inconsistent narrative quality. Despite these flaws, its sheer magnitude makes it a fascinating, if uneven, experience for RPG enthusiasts.
    • 83 Metascore
    • Critic Score
    It is a complete experience that fulfills its objectives in a remarkable way, a video game with all the usual elements in a role story and that gives a fun purpose to the fact of sweating, and is one of the best exergaming games we have seen.
