    A great platformer, challenging, with a lot of content and a perfect control. One of the biggest surprises of the year.

    The first season offers a classic but at the same time new take on the Hitman experience. It asks for every mission to be replayed and rediscovered, and we've enjoyed it thanks to its diversity and possibilities.

    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.

    News Tower is an addictive management tycoon capturing the tension of 1930s journalism with deep newspaper operations and exclusive hunting, all within a fantastic Art Deco setting and catchy soundtrack. Although random faction requests and an interface needing late-game improvements slightly detract, its solid foundation and engrossing loop make it a highly recommended and immersive experience.

    Remedy is back, and they’re doing what they do best: great gunplay, complex narrative and, this time, a less linear world. It has its flaws, but fans of the studio will love it.

    Little by little, EA Sports is building an outstanding football game, fun for casual players and incredibly deep for those who want to master it. Yes, changes are subtle this year, but all of them are for the best.

    Resident Evil 3 is a great remake, even if not a very ambitious one. It lacks content, and it even feels like a wasted opportunity to create something bigger that expanded the original story. It is, however, a fantastic horror/action adventure with incredible visuals that builds upon the solid foundations of its predecessor, and its multiplayer mode definitely adds a few more hours of fun.

    It doesn’t bring as many additions as it did last year, but it still is a great football game and continues to tweak its gameplay to get even better.

    Vanquish has achieved something we though would be difficult to see. Gives a new spin to the third-person action genre, leaving behind most of its competitors.

    This title should have existed since two years ago, and for the future it has to improve its graphics and gameplay a little bit (including the safety car as an option). But from what we've seen in this first installment, the future looks bright.

    This is a beautiful ‘soulsvania’ whose strengths are a fantastic combat, a solid map design and a very interesting story.

    We’ve been pleasantly surprised with how well this game has aged. Yes, it’s short and simple, but it’s also very charming, well-designed and really well paced, leaving us with a smile when the credits roll.

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

    Reigns and Game of Thrones look like they were meant to be. The original gameplay was fantastic, and now it makes the most of it with a very respectful approach to the successful franchise.

    There’s little reason to purchase it again if you’ve already played it on PS3 or PS Vita, but if you haven’t, it is obviously the best way to enjoy this magic adventure.

    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.

    It is not the game of the year, but it is a very welcomed blast of fresh air for the first-person shooter genre, and also a very charming game with its own personality.

    A simple but extremely addictive concept is what makes of Picross 3D a great puzzle game.

    This is an excellent management game that brings back and updates the old-school gameplay we all love to make it as fun and exciting as it was a few years ago.

    A good selection of classic titles, that has both masterpieces –Aria of Sorrow justifies the price tag by itself– and more divisive entries.

    Apart from the visual upgrade, it offers new content and polished gameplay. It still is a great game, and this is the best way to play it.

    PES 2018 improves its excellent gameplay and adds interesting features, but the lack of modes and licenses still is a noticeable problem.

    Crate Entertainment delivers a great ARPG, with tons of contents and very deep. If you have some friends to play with, Grim Dawn is a game you shouldn't miss.

    Bloodstained is an incredible game, the true Castlevania successor we’ve been waiting for years. Igarashi has created something outstanding, and fans of the genre cannot miss it.

    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.

    Ghost of Tsushima is not revolutionary, but it’s really enjoyable. Although some aspects, like the AI, are flawed, its setting and the experience are memorable, and they stay with you after you finish it.
