    Highly recommended for 2D fighting fans, a must-have for those who enjoyed the previous game, an excellent chance to return to a genre for those who left it years ago, and also a good option for many to discover a new style of game, through a charming roster of characters.

    A great example of a remasterization. Two great games better than ever, and a great opportunity to discover or rediscover them.

    The Walking Dead: Episode 2 - Starved for Help is a very satisfying game and its only flaws are technical. It keeps the same gameplay than the first game, but Telltalte has managed to give the script a twist for it to feel different and surprise us again. Three hours of pure fun, a must have for comic fans.

    Even with its flaws, Guardians of the Galaxy is a great adventure we’ve had a lot of fun with, thanks to its impressive art design, its great narrative and chemistry between the clumsiest heroes in the galaxy.

    Mario & Luigi are back with a classic great adventure, now available on 3DS. Bowser Jr.’s Journey is a nice addition, but if you played the original you’re not missing a lot. Either way, it’s a game that we’ve enjoyed from the very first second.

    Mankind Divided doesn't risk too much and follows closely the Deus Ex formula, but this isn't something negative. This new episode is a great mix of RPG, stealth and action you don't want to miss if you enjoyed Human Revolution.

    007 First Light delivers a masterfully crafted origin story, blending sophisticated social stealth with high-octane spectacle. While predictable enemy AI and genre-typical "tunnel vision" occasionally break the immersion, the exceptional level design and respectful character evolution create the definitive Bond experience. It is a bold, polished return that prioritizes player intelligence over mindless action.

    It is the same great game we enjoyed six years ago, but visually upgraded. Its gameplay hasn't aged, and its levels are still varied and thrilling. We only miss a retail edition including this game and Code Veronica HD, just like in Japan, as the digital download can be considered pricey by many players.

    Although it has lost part of the impact of the previous game, Guerrilla Games has again achieved a great first-person shooter, greatly improving the campaign mode and emphasizing its personality.

    Definitely a step forward, but still it doesn't surprise. This is the common problem of the annual series, but we need to make it clear that this episode means an improvement compared to F1 2011. Now, if you have the last episode it's up to you to decide whether the new one is worth it. If you don't, it's a wonderful racing game and the best F1 title we've seen in years.

    If you miss Advance Wars, you have to try this. It might not be as good as Nintendo’s franchise, but it's definitely a very enjoyable experience for fans of this formula.

    Stacking is a fresh and original game, full of fun situations which challenge us to solve puzzles that require some intellectual effort.

    Battlefield 1943 focuses on multiplayer, and achieves a great level of quality. Classic, well-made and fun as soon as some friends join in, it is a sure bet provided we are going to have war partners.

    Thumper takes a little from music games, racing games and infinite runners to become one of those VR titles you need to try.

    This new edition takes important steps forward. The tires are more important and the different types are more noticiable when driving, and the addition of DRS and more strategy options changes the way to race. It has also added much needed features like the safety car or the possibility to manage the whole Grand Prix event, from the free training durint Friday to the race on Sunday. It still has plenty of room for improvement and it is not the perfect simulator yet, but Formula 1 fans will be pleased again by this product.

    Again, the Professor Layton series triumphs in the adventure and puzzle genre. Certainly the game will satisfy both casual players and genre fanatics.

    If you love classic FPS, give Boltgun a try. It’s a love letter to the genre with beautiful graphics and intense shootings.

    In fact, aside from some potential quality-of-life improvements that weren't implemented, the only real drawback is the fact that the two titles weren't included as they were originally conceived in the late eighties. This would have allowed players, both seasoned veterans and newcomers, to see how the genre has evolved and the enormous importance this franchise had in defining many other classics that have provided us with countless hours of entertainment. If you're a fan of the franchise, it's a no-brainer. If not, it's the perfect opportunity to delve into the origins of the JRPG with modern touches. Don't miss out.

    Frostpunk is addictive, accessible but hard to master, and deeper than you expect, not only when it comes you gameplay, but what it actually manages to make you feel.

    Keep Driving offers us a very original experience, focused on sensations and decisions, where each choice opens the door to a new trip. It is a game designed to be completed multiple times, since a single trip is not going to be representative of everything it has to offer, and for that reason we believe that it should have gone deeper into its systems, but we understand that the experience it seeks is a more relaxed one; an experience that fits with that nostalgic proposal of the road trip. It is not perfect, but if you enjoy different games, which are out of the ordinary, and you fancy a trip where each route is an invitation to build your own story, we believe that it deserves a chance.

    This year’s entry feels like a big step forward for the franchise, even if the new additions aren’t that big. It’s definitely one of the best titles of the series that brings a deeper take on management.

    The latest Mortal Kombat is, in our opinion, the best in the series so far. This is more ambitious than the previous ones, has a perfect roster of fighters and offers more content than any other fighting game.

    Polybius is a mind-blowing experience in VR, a shoot 'em up with all the craziness and solid gameplay you can expect from Jeff Minter. It is a quite niche game, yes, and playing on a regular TV isn't so overwhelming (in a good way), but Polybius is very enjoyable in any way.

    This collection is a fantastic adaptation of one of the best franchises ever made. They are that type of game that can be played years later and they’re still as enjoyable as when they first came out, so wether it’s your first or your tenth time with them, this is your chance to play them on the go.

    Criterion just did it again. This is one of the best driving games we've seen in the last few years. Full of content and with many hours of fun waiting for us, no matter if we're playing alone or online. It shows that probably the only way to improve an open-world title is waiting for a more powerful hardware, since Criterion can only beat itself. Definitely a must-have.

    As a standalone expansion, The Lost Legacy does a good job, delivering yet another great adventure with everything you can expect from the series. The new open area felt a little bit disappointing, but fortunately the rest is pure Uncharted, and it continues to be one of the most visually-outstanding franchises on Sony's consoles.

    SoulCalibur is back with a great game that is a pleasure to play. We are not very happy with the DLC policy or the Reversal Edge moves, but everything else is very, very good.
