    The only reason we wouldn't recommend it is if the idea of ​​playing an Atari 2600 game, with its clunky controls and obtuse design, turns you off. If you're curious, even if you've never played an adventure like this before, we think it's worth your time, as it's very well designed, with clever puzzles, a well thought-out storyline, and a good number of secrets to discover. If this appeals to you and you like the horror vibe, we think you should give it a try.

    Playing with Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 is a satisfying experience with some seldom frustrating situations derived from choices in the design of the capture system. Combat are intense, fun and attractive, but the real focus is in the monster synthesizer, which shines.

    A great title with the best multiplayer we've seen on this console so far. There are some framerate issues, but if you're a FPS fan, then this is a must have.

    Although it may look like a game for kids, it's a quite challenging experience, with a lot of care put into it. It won't disappoint you if you're looking for some puzzles on your PS Vita.

    The best adventure based on The Lord of the Rings. Long, fun, beautiful and close to the movies. If you're a LOTR fan then go ahead and buy it. If you're not, give it a try –it's great.

    This HD upgrade delivers what it promises. It enhances image quality, adds trophies to foster replayability, and also includes 3D steroscopic vision. We only miss some extra content, like artworks galleries, interviews with the team or a making of documentary, but those who didn't enjoy the originals have here a very interesting buy to consider.

    Rare Replay is a collection that will definitely remind you why this studio is so beloved these days. Great games (even though we still miss a few), great price and tons of extras that a Rare fan shouldn't miss.

    Streets of Rage is back with a new game that nails the feeling of the classics. It looks great, has a fair amount of unlockable content, and adds small changes to the combat to make it even better. We’ve experienced some issues playing online that, according to the devs, will be fixed soon, but that aside, the experience was fantastic and it definitely deserves that 4.

    Stellaris is a fantastic game, and so is its console version. The menu and control system has been successfully adapted, and players can have a similar experience playing it with a controller.

    Dragon Quest VI is exactly what it promised to be: a return to the classic JRPG, one of the best of its genre, which remains faithful to the series' formula. It is its greatest charm, but also the greatest difficulty to attract new followers.

    This stunningly beautiful puzzle game stands out for its artistic design, immersive atmosphere, and simple but enjoyable mechanics, though its low difficulty might not challenge experienced players. Its brevity limits its potential to fully develop new ideas but, since it will receive new content, maybe we’ll see that evolution there.

    It was a great game on consoles and PC, and it still is a great game on mobile devices. The adaptation works perfectly, so if you haven't played it before, you have no excuse now.

    Splatoon is just straightforward fun. It's true it needs more content, but the core gameplay works extremely well and delivers the charming experience you expect from Nintendo.

    A horror adventure with classic flavour, something we miss in current times. Its story is really interesting and its combat system is great. It also has a great atmosphere, and the game knows how to mantain the player in tension and fear. Although its controls are quite archaic and it has much to improve technically, this is a very recommended game.

    This episodic game continues to evolve, proving that the developers are listening and they are on the right track. If you've played the previous episodes, you won't be disappointed by this one. Actually, you'll be waiting for the next one to come.

    Clearly inspired by the collectible games of the early 2000s, Revenge of the Savage Planet also celebrates Metroid 3D in a way that few dare to pay homage to. This is one of the most honest experiences without Samus Aran as the protagonist, even though it overdoes the amount of tasteless jokes in the story.

    This is a great fighting game, that still hasn’t fixed some issues from the past, but still manages to deliver fun, polished, complex and, of course, bloody combats that fans will love.

    Could it have been a much better conversion, and more elaborate? Yes. But does it let itself play perfectly and continues to offer us an outstanding and essential adventure for fans of the genre at a very affordable starting price? Without any doubt.

    Moon is a noteworthy and solid first-person action adventure title that, despite some flaws such as excessive content repetition or some control issues -as well as a simple gameplay concept which remains unchanged through all the game-, turns out to be quite entertaining during its six hours length.

    The mission system may be something some players will dislike, compared to the freedom of the original. However, it has many hours of gameplay to offer, and the new multiplayer mode is a great addition that will make us forget about that.

    This could be your favorite game in the last ten years. Or rightly the opposite. It does have personality, but there's no way we can tell you how it is or how you're going to feel when you play it, so the only way to find out is giving it a try it.
