    This 1:1 port of the original version shines with excellent co-op mechanics, strong visual performance, and thoughtful multiplayer options like Gamechat and Gameshare; however, the requirement of extra controllers for local co-op and the disappointing "Code in a Box" physical release slightly dampen an otherwise ideal title to launch with Switch 2.

    Astral Chain is a must-have for Switch users. We are absolutely in love with its concept and design, and it proves, once again, how PlatinumGames are the masters of this genre.

    Fun, funny and really well designed, Dave the Diver is an addictive adventure that combines many elements that shouldn’t work together, but somehow, they do.

    Dark Souls is definitely an absolutely great game, and it proves you can attract a big audience by offering an unusually high difficulty. New content, a high-res fixes and some other improvements are the reasons why this version is the best of the three available. It's not the best PC adaptation, but it is an experience worth playing.

    Firaxis has done a great job with this sixth episode, addictive and fun, where you always want to play one more turn. And keeping a franchise relevant for 25 years is indeed an accomplishment.

    It brings a solid experience, with lots of possibilities and a new environment that makes it feel classic but fresh at the same time.

    Metroid: Other M is a constant homage to the series. Its classic gameplay has been revamped and is more action focused, but it retains parts of its past. The game has achieved to turn Samus into a more human character, and the story is much more important this time, which is a good thing.

    Lost Judgment is a game that deals with incredibly important topics in a very serious way, while also staying true to the wacky nature of this and the Yakuza series. It is also a fantastic game with great combat and solid narrative, and anyone that is slightly interested in what it has to offer should give it a try.

    Detroit lands on PC with a solid adaptation. The core experience remains unchanged, but it brings us new options to enjoy it.

    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.

    Exactly what we expected. The campaign struggles to surprise, but the multiplayer and zombie modes have been greatly improved, and they are the ones to credit for making it an outstanding title. Some people will complain about the lack of evolution, while some others will enjoy the hundreds of hours of fun it offers.

    Cocoon is one of the biggest surprises of the year for us. Thanks to its magnificent design, this one-button game ends up being more surprising and memorable than most AAAs these days.

    Offers one of the best single player campaigns we've seen in years. Entertaining, different, intense, spectacular and with really memorable moments. It sticks to the original series, something fans will definitely love. It offers everything Transformers fans have always asked for. Its multiplayer modes won't be consider revolutionary, but it is a must-have, above all if you're a fan of the series.

    If you like narrative-based games and, in particular, Sam Barlow’s previous projects, don’t miss it.

    A gift for fans of both series and fighting games players. A deep, technical and solid game that integrates perfectly the mechanics of both series. A huge piece of work that is a dream come true for those fans who have been expecting a crossover like this for years.

    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.

    This is a game you cannot miss on iPad, and a very interesting one on iPhone. We have to wait and see how it works on other platforms, but if you own an Apple's tablet, it's a title you should really take into account.

    It has taken some time to change the number, but it deserves the three, thanks to its eight game modes, which take the best of the last entries, polishing the experience and offering more.

    It was already good, but now it's even better. One of the best beat 'em up RPG you can find these days.

    Rock Band keeps its formula unaltered, but all the new things it introduces make it even better. Rock Band 4 is the best game Harmonix has made so far, so it's time to get your band together and rock.

    This is one of the best indie games we've played this years. Unless you don't like coop experiences, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a game you should play.

    Not an evolution of the series but a step forward indeed. Good for playing "seriously" or just for fun, with a solid base that allows the developers to include crazy ideas that actually fit in the game. The track list is, as well, as good as we expected.

    A better game than its predecessor, fun, addictive and powered by great gameplay.

    Alan Wake is back with a survival horror that is constantly surprising the player, coming up with all sorts of crazy ideas and situations, and all wrapped up in one of the best audiovisual productions we’ve ever seen.

    If Patapon was surprising because of the freshness and charm of the characters, Patapon 2 completely lacks that, which can lead to think that this is simply the same game, with some minor touches to deliver and strengthen the console portfolio. Nothing further from the truth, this title can be compared with any blockbuster on the PSP.

    A richly polished evolution of Anno 1800 that deepens empire-building through the dual-province system, strategic cultural choices, and stronger diplomacy, though its complexity and demanding resource management can overwhelm at times, ultimately delivering an engrossing and highly replayable strategy experience.

    It expands itself from a very solid base, and adds the content fans needed to feel comfortable and keep enjoy the series.
