Once again, digital distribution allows an original idea to be realized, a combination of puzzle and platforms which works very well in this distribution system, with a price that wouldn't have been possible through traditional channels.

Console users have no reason to get this PC version, since its improvements are just a few visual settings. Still, it's a great hack & slash for those who missed it on PS3 or Xbox 360.

It may dissapoint those who expected a 3D Metroidvania, but it's one of the best action games of this year.

This is one of the best of its genre and a good alternative for those who are looking for another experience.

Darksiders is above all a very comprehensive game. It fits elements from many other games, without going in depth in any of them nor having its own style, but maintaining a balance which makes it a great action-adventure game.

It offers almost a perfect balance between gameplay, difficulty and graphics. There are certain aspects that could have been improved, but still it's a very recommended game.

Brilliant. It's original, addictive and has loads of contents. It brings the original formula to the iDevices and improves it, offering one of the best role and strategy games we've seen for iOS.

Obviously, it doesn't match the technical standards of the "bigger" versions, but it does deliver the Titanfall experience.

It has all the virtues we can expect from an indie game. If you're going to play with friends you'll make the most of it, since playing on your own makes the game losing some of its appeal.

Castle Crashers gets the "perfect" remaster. All DLC included, technically improved where possible and it's free if you bought the original. Needless to say, the game is great, and it's one of the funniest beat 'em up we've ever played with friends.

Mutant Mudds is a solid platforming experience, but also quite hard and challenging. If that's what you're looking for and you enjoy a retro taste, Super Challenge is a great option.

Moss is back with another fantastic adventure that shows how to create a VR game. It’s not as surprising as the original, but still worth your time.

This sequel improves upon the original and will please both classic action and sandbox fans. The campaign is lengthy and the game includes a level editor which will be loved by the community.

Yakuza 5 is what it is expected to be. It hasn't changed its formula, and it still works for its fans. You'll love it or you'll hate it, but if you happen to love it, you'll find one of the best games PS3 has received this year.

This year’s installment refines existing mechanics rather than revolutionizing the series, introducing improvements mainly in game modes, such as the roguelike-inspired Diamond Quest and a revamped Diamond Dynasty. While the absence of last-gen versions hasn’t resulted in a major visual upgrade, animations and physics have been enhanced. However, the lack of localization remains a barrier for non-English-speaking players.

Jusant is a fantastic adventure, with a satisfying and challenging control system, great ideas and a beautiful art direction.

Outland has enough virtues to be remembered as one of the best platforms games of the year. If you like the genre this is a must-have.

It is difficult to keep the quality of a series, but Gameloft manages to do it with this sequel, which has interesting additions like an improved control system, enhanced graphics and a more complete multiplayer.

Addictive, clever and surprising, this is one of those games that if you're slightly interested in puzzles and mystery you don't want to miss.

It's one of those game hard to label, unexpected and unique, that won't be considered an actual game by many. It's a game like Her Story, that plays with storytelling and that's able to surprise you in ways you didn't expect.

GRIS is a beautiful game, but it is much more than that. It’s an excellent puzzle platformer, with a great level design and a soundtrack that works beautifully with the art.

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.

V Rising blends survival, exploration, and action RPG elements in a vampire-themed world where gameplay mechanics shine despite a narrative that feels secondary. It excels in its engaging combat system and deep crafting mechanics, while offering both solo and cooperative gameplay options, although it lacks narrative depth and has limited decorative choices.

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.

Runic Games has created a game charming enough to engage us for hours.

EA Sports continues to deliver a game full of options and content, fully licensed and tweaks its gameplay to make it one of the best entries so far.

We’ve really enjoyed Ape Out, but its small randomization of stages creates a strange feeling, where luck seems to matter sometimes more than skill. Overall, it’s a very good experience for those looking for a fast-paced action game.

It has some aspects we'd like to see improved (the netcode, extra modes...), but apart from this, it's the best episode of the franchise. Fun and brutal, as it should be.
