    The setting change works well, and the story will please series followers, with surprises and comebacks which will thrill Resident Evil fans. Resident Evil 5 offers a quality experience, despite some incongruities - all of them can be overlood -, which will engage us in front of the TV for hours, thanks to its gameplay and its high doses of action, tension and fun.

    A risky and original game that does well everything it proposes. Magnificient and engaging, with a design that gives the player absolute freedom to solve the challenges.

    Ori and the Blind Forest is one of those games everyone should play, and the Switch version is another fantastic opportunity to do so. A fantastic version of a fantastic game.

    Twelve Minutes manages to do something much more complicated than it seems: bring an innovative idea to fruition. Its plot, with surprising script twists and told at a very good pace, is actively developed by the player, who has to carefully measure the interactions between objects, the conversations they have and their actions within a time-loop structure based on in the acquisition of knowledge in each attempt. All this in a very accessible game except for some situation that requires an unclear interaction, one of its few black points along with the small technical errors that occur in a fantastic audiovisual section. The first work that Luis Antonio signs as an independent developer is one of those games that have the privilege of staying in our memory.

    Perhaps the guys at Treyarch haven't surpassed its predecessor's bar, but it really was too high. Nevertheless, this does not mean Call of Duty: World at War is not a very good game, it is indeed one of the best of its genre, and no shooter fan should miss it.

    Yooka & Laylee are back with a outstanding platformer. This is a great take on the Donkey Kong Country formula, but also with its own personality. If you like this genre, you cannot miss it.

    Visually stunning and technically outstanding, Hollywood Monsters is a must-have for graphic adventures fans.

    The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition is one of the most recommended buys of this summer, provided one hasn't played the classic game before.

    It was a great game two years ago and it still is. Every addition is an improvement, and if you missed it the first time, it's the best opportunity to give it a try.

    A worthy successor to Ender Lilies that enhances almost every aspect of the original, from level design to gameplay mechanics, while maintaining its gothic and melancholic aesthetic. Though the difficulty is more accessible with adjustable options, it still offers a solid challenge for those who seek it. The art and music remain outstanding, though the soundtrack can feel repetitive, and the game sticks too closely to its predecessor without introducing truly fresh mechanics.

    Obsidian has met the expectations and delivered an outstanding old-school RPG, which doesn't feel "old" at all, but "classic".

    The series evolves in the right direction, enhancing the possibilities and creating a coherent gameplay, where the protagonists –both the physical and the virtual ones– are more important than ever.

    This is what WoW deserves in its 10th anniversary. No matter if you haven't played in a while, Warlords of Draenor is the best reason to come back. Or to keep on playing, of course.

    Cave Story is one of the bastions of independent games, and its Wii port offers something else than just charging for it. Its new features are worth the money it costs: revised sound and graphics, a well-made difficulty system, good control and some extras both for veterans and newcomers.

    With breathtaking artistic design, a sublime Austin Wintory soundtrack, and a unique surfing-inspired movement system, Sword of the Sea delivers a moving sensory journey, though its short three-hour length and limited depth slightly diminish its impact.

    The "toys-to-life" genre takes yet another step forward with this new episode of Skylanders. It is obviously aimed at a certain audience, but that audience will love the new features included in SuperChargers.

    Xenoblade Chronicles is an amazing game, no matter where you play it. It is true that it has some graphics issues on New 3DS compared to the Wii version, but it is an experience worth living.

    This sequel improves over the original in pretty much every single aspect, and becomes a very strong candidate to the simulation podium.

    A great game for iOS. An enjoyable and easy to play title, yet difficult to dominate, full of good humour and with a lond duration. A winner cangaroo.

    A Way Out is something new and fresh that ironically brings nostalgic feelings. It's unique and original, and if you miss coop adventures, you can't miss it.

    It offers almost everything you could ask from a puzzle game: it's easy to play, intellectually challenging, fresh and visually appealing. We would have like it a little bit longer, but still it's a great choice for those who want to challenge themselves.

    This superb 2D action-platformer by The Game Kitchen perfectly blends fast-paced gameplay, exceptional level design, and striking pixel art to deliver a thrilling and deeply nostalgic experience, though its progression system is underused and a few vehicle levels fall short of the rest.

    This episode is one of the best RPGs of the year, a great adventure with a great story every JRPG fan should play.

    A great movie translated to a great videogame. A fun, complete and lasting game, which blends beat'em up and sandbox gameplay and shows great visuals. It can become repetitive and it is not very challenging for seasoned players, but it is a great game for Batman fans.

    This is a smart mix of endless runner and tower defense, outstanding in almost every single aspect, that deserves all the attention from fans of any of those genres.

    Punch-Out!! is an old school game which is far from what we are used to play recently. However, definitely this is not bad news, as the game is as fun as it was then, and moreover its graphics are well updated.

    A game for everyone, for those who like quick game sessions and also for those who are looking for challenges. Easy to play but very deep and challenging, this experiment of turning Kirby into a Pikmin army is great.

    It's very, very weird, but very, very addictive. If you're looking for a bizarre experience to spend hours in front of your iDevice, this might be your best choice.

    Telltale proves they can adapt their narrative skills to almost any franchise, and brings us one of the best first episodes we've seen in any of their series.
