    It's expensive for a downloadable game, but the experience is definitely worth it, thanks to a great visual work, better audio and many gameplay innovations.

    Its innovative visuals and its daring and well-made gameplay features make it not only a great action-adventure game but also a genre refreshing title. Only certain moments which cut the pace, and some problems in the fights which can become frustrating, blur one of the masterpieces of the year.

    This is a great example of how to make a remake while keeping the essence of the original adventure. It's a game that needs time, but it's also very rewarding.

    After Burner II still is a great game. If you want to relive it again with some remastered content, you won't be disappointed with this version.

    Darksiders is back with a great remaster, good for both those who want to rediscover this title and those who want to live this adventure again.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a fantastic adventure that relies on its beautiful art direction, combination of gameplay elements and its great level design to deliver a game that you should not miss.

    Prim is a traditional point-and-click adventure that stands out for its packaging: a somewhat bizarre Kingdom of the Dead depicted in black and white and very pretty, carefully voiced and a very strong soundtrack; simply discovering little by little the design of that world and how they have interpreted the characters of Greek mythology is a pleasure. However, the plot, even with its funny and absurd moments, does not end up engaging because it ends up neglecting its main theme (the relationship between Prim and her father, Thanatos) and because it gets lost in endless expository dialogues. At the same time, there are some puzzles that are fun because of their approach or their humorous resolution, but there are no particularly brilliant puzzles, and some interesting mechanics are wasted and a couple of mini-games are too long, monotonous and frustrating. All in all, Common Colors' game is enjoyable, but with some changes here and there it could go from being a pretty game to a more than remarkable point-and-click adventure.

    The Deluxe version of this 1987 classic from Jon Ritman brings improvements like better controls, new worlds, and updated graphics, staying faithful to the original. However, it still lacks some modern conveniences like shadows and CRT filters, and its Steam release feels a bit underwhelming with limited features. Fans of the original will appreciate the nostalgia, but newcomers may find it challenging.

    This game not only delivers a great sequel, but also a great story and the soul of a genre that has been forgotten for many years.

    Catherine is a fantastic and incredibly surprising game, and now its most complete version yet lands on Switch. There isn’t many new features to mention if you’ve already played Full Body on PS4, but if you haven’t, this is a great adaptation to Nintendo’s hardware.

    Dungeon Defenders successfully blends strategy, rol and customization with action. A recommended game which is hard and demanding when playing solo, and very fun in cooperative.

    This Ultimate version is better than the original Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and hardcore fighting fans should consider it a must-have, although only nine months have passed since the original launch and this may upset some gamers.

    The original FF VIII was a masterpiece full of imperfections, and so is this remaster. There are some “quality of life” additions and minor visual enhancements, but its magic still remains.

    Gears Tactics has a great combat design, fantastic final bosses… and very repetitive missions. The overall experience is very good, and we think if you play the game in short sessions you won’t feel it as repetitive. Regardless of how you choose to play it, it’s a game that deserves an opportunity.

    The worst thing about this sequel is that it's no longer surprising. But that's good news, because it means it is still a great RPG.

    This is a great musou that manages to integrate Fire Emblem’s strategic nature into Omega Force’s well-known formula.

    Garden Warfare 2 doesn't take any risks, instead it just try to make everything better. Still, the best part is that it's pretty much unique, and there isn't any other game it can be compared to.

    This is great news for platformer fans. It's not perfect, but it's incredibly enjoyable and one of the best games of the series.

    This is one of the best indie games we've played this years. Unless you don't like coop experiences, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a game you should play.

    It may not have the same impact Disgaea 4 had, but it feels like a better game, and it's one of those very few Japanese franchises that continues to surprise us after many years.

    This is a fun game, with solid gameplay but not so solid roguelike design. However, we’ve had a really good time with it.

    The lack of single player content could be a problem for some, but if you're happy with two new armies for multiplayer matches, then it's probably worth your time.

    In this post-apocalyptic world filled with charm, My Time at Sandrock offers a delightful blend of social simulation, farming management, and crafting, though its intricate crafting systems may deter some players. Despite its humble visuals and somewhat outdated design, it presents a vast and enjoyable adventure, making it one of the genre's finest offerings.

    Diplomacy, espionage and religion are extended this time and multiply the options of the game, which still has an amazing ability to keep us addicted for hours, trying to conquer the world.

    We couldn’t have asked for better versions on Switch. Both games still hold up very well, and from a technical point of view they look incredible on Nintendo’s console.

    Engage is a fantastic tactic RPG with an excellent gameplay, exquisite level design and interesting new additions to celebrate more than three decades of Fire Emblem.

    TES: Legends is fun, well-designed and has its own personality. Out of nowhere, it has become a strong contender in the card-based battle.

    Elsweyr is a great way to start if you haven’t played TESO yet, but it’s also a great expansion for veterans. Tons of content and relevant additions make TESO one of the best MMO available at the moment.

    It is a great surprise, and even though we've felt the team behind could have pushed harder to make it a better experience, it's a game fans of the genre will definitely enjoy.
