    The best first-person shooter on the App Store. It improves upon the second entry of the series, polishing its flaws, adds more duration and offers a good multiplayer mode, although a bit too classic. And its graphics are outstanding.

    Ultimately, Chrono Trigger is a good classic, as enjoyable today as it was years ago. It has not aged badly, and in fact, it can bring some new fresh features to players who didn't know it, in spite of the later titles they might have played.

    This is a outstanding remake that makes everything better for one of the best horror games ever made.

    A different HD update. The rest of them take games that were great at their time, but now have been surpassed by their sequels or new fanchises. But Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are still masterpieces by today standards, as are such special games that would stand among the best of the year if made from scratch and released today. A must-have for all who consider themselves passionate about videogames.

    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.

    It's unique, fresh and makes you think. As weird as it may look, Framed is one of those milestones in mobile gaming, and one of those games you have to try.

    Ori is an artistic masterpiece in movement and a outstanding game. An unforgettable experience you shouldn’t miss.

    Red Dead Redemption on Switch 2 delivers a masterful conversion, achieving stable 60 FPS and stunning native HDR that elevates the iconic American frontier. This version largely rectifies the original Switch's flaws, nearly matching the PC experience, although minor popping artifacts and a somewhat rigid mission design persist. Overall, a triumphant return.

    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 titles you feel yourself submerged in this sparkling sensation.

    The evolution of the series in Nintendo DS has left us open-mouthed, and makes us have great hopes for the next Wii game.

    Fez
    FEZ is unique and irreplaceable. A masterpiece that still is as relevant as nine years ago.

    Good omen have been more than confirmed, this is a Metroid-like game which will please those looking for alternative action formulas, and it makes its job very well.

    Except for the tutorials and the long sessions it requires, it's a wonderful adventure in every aspect that offers tons of fun.

    Fez
    If you like the retro style, 2D platforming and above all good taste, Fez is your game. One of those outstanding games that raises the bar for what to expect from an indie studio. A must-have for Xbox Live Arcade.

    This version improves the control of the original, expands its levels and offers interesting alternative modes, enhancing an already superb game. It has lost online functions, which is a minor flaw but distances this game from perfection.

    One of the best games available on iOS, and almost on any other portable device. It vanishes the line between portable devices and portable video game systems. A beautiful and entertaining story and a rich gaming offer, together with its stunning graphics, make Horn worth it of any iDevice.

    Square Enix delivers a more polished and visually enhanced PC version of this iconic remake, with improved scalability and numerous graphical options. However, it lacks certain features like unlocked FPS and DLSS quality settings, which could elevate the experience further.

    After twelve years, Blizzard has achieved a great return in Diablo, with the same trademark gameplay, easy to play but hard to master, and some changes that are controversial for some players. Some wanted it to be more traditional, others wanted many more changes, but the game is as fun as ever and provides for tons of hours.

    This is an outstanding game, a way to prove how narrative, gameplay and art design can work together to make an almost flawless experience.

    This is just the best 3DS game so far. Deep, beautiful, replayable, challenging... It's one of those games you cannot miss.

    Halo Wars is possibly the best real-time strategy game ever made for console. It captures all the essence of the genre and, for the first time, translates it to our gamepad with absolute success. It's not like the dominating sort of strategy game in PCs, but it has its own, well defined personality, and its specific features, which define Halo Wars as a solid and outstanding bet.

    Great controls, great feelings and tons of nostalgia make Horizon Chase one of the best racing games on iOS devices.

    It’s been worth the wait. This is one of the largest and more surprising games Nintendo has ever made, overwhelmingly big and a true revolution for the franchise. It’s a new take on the open-world concept, and a game you can’t miss if you like true adventures.

    This definitive edition elevates a stellar platformer into a masterpiece through flawless 4K visuals and substantial content additions. New characters and the chaotic Belabel Park attractions significantly enhance the multiplayer suite, yet lackluster decoration rewards and restrictive online room requirements slightly dampen the brilliance of this otherwise essential expansion.

    It is not perfect, and each player will find his own vices and virtues, but we don't remember many projects with such ambition that comes so close to perfection.

    We didn’t think it was possible, but Horizon 4 is even better than its predecessor. Playground Games is one of the best studios out there and has proved that it is possible to do new things in racing games. If you like the genre, even if it's just a tiny bit, please give it a try.

    Epic, knowing the success of the first installment, has not taken any risk at all and gives us what they know we are going to like: an extraordinary pure action experience, outstanding in all technical and gameplay aspects and, above all, is hugely entertaining and guarantees hundreds of hours of adrenaline rush thanks to its campaign mode and online play through Xbox Live.

    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.

    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.
