Self-defined as a "slow game", The Rivers of Alice is a game with a lot of effort put into it, that creates an, indeed, slow but satisfying experience users will enjoy if they are willing to live a tale in the shape of a graphic adventure.

We've enjoyed the time we've spent with this 'complete edition' of Skulls of Shogun. It's fun, and ideal if you want to become initiated in strategy games.

Odallus is a game that wants to bring back the feeling of the first Castlevania but that's it. There's no innovation here, just the good ol' gameplay and MSX visuals. If that's what you want, it won't disappoint.

Rampage Knights is a very interesting old-school beat 'em up. It doesn't offer anything particularly original, but it's fun and addictive.

If you like puzzles, Circa Infinity is a game you don't want to miss. Original, well designed and challenging, it's an experience that will definitely test you.

Amanita Design has created yet another wonderful adventure. If you enjoyed their previous works or you just like the genre, Samorost 3 is a game you shouldn't miss.

Seraph's strengths are more relevant than its weaknesses, and those who enjoy a challenge and testing their skills will find a quite interesting title here.

Battle Chef Brigade is beautiful, original and works better than you would expect from a game that mixes such different genres. One of the last surprises of the year.

This is just a great version of one of the best remakes in the history of video games. It holds up incredibly well, and it’s one of those games everyone should play at least once.

Mr Driller is as addictive as it was on GameCube. If you’re looking for a puzzle game to play with friends, you should give this a try.

Foregone is a good metroidvania we can recommend to those fans who have already played all the great games in the genre and are still looking for more.

Despite its modest production values, Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes delivers deep and engaging 2D fighting gameplay, with a diverse roster of characters and robust online features. However, its lack of additional modes and unremarkable presentation may deter some players.

Promenade offers a charming and accessible platforming experience, drawing heavily from classic inspirations like Super Mario Odyssey, yet struggles to innovate beyond its references. While its simplistic mechanics are engaging and its progression smooth, it falls short in offering a truly unique identity. Despite its shortcomings, it's a delightful entry point for newcomers to the genre or a pleasant diversion for platforming enthusiasts.

On paper, Is This Game Trying to Kill Me? may seem very similar to Tormenture (which we also recommend), but in reality they are very different games. Is This Game Trying to Kill Me? is a much more puzzle-oriented game, and the horror is minor. It's a short (and also cheap) title with very clever and well-planned puzzles, a good setting, and a concept that works very well. It's about three hours long, which we think is fantastic for those who enjoy the genre, and it also has a free prologue that lasts about 30 minutes, which we encourage you to try whether you're convinced to buy the full game or not, since it's a separate adventure.

Windswept delivers a fantastic platforming experience, brimming with personality and well-designed levels, constantly surprising players with varied mechanics. However, its design falters under increasing difficulty, leading to unnecessary frustration, particularly for those pursuing 100% completion due to punishing checkpoint placement.

This is a solid ARPG that shines thanks to its story, characters, setting and art direction.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion delivers a fantastic beat 'em up experience, brimming with undeniable charm for Marvel fans and genre enthusiasts. Its fluid, satisfying combat and diverse character roster shine, especially within the engaging Arcade mode. However, simplistic boss encounters and a shallow scoring system slightly diminish an otherwise essential and highly replayable brawler.

It is not as revolutionary as the previous game, its combat system has aged in this two years, and it lacks that freshness, but Fable 3 is still a huge game, able to engage the player and absorb him into the world of Albion. This one is better organized, first it shows us the many things we can do in the game world, and then it let us decide what we want to do. And it is still full of that fairytale magic.

Valorant is deep, complex and it always pushes you to do your best and become a better player. It has everything to offer great and intense matches, but it also requires and level of cooperation and commitment that won’t appeal all players.

If you want a break from action games and you're willing to give a visual novel a try, this is a good option, with interesting plot twists that will keep you playing till you finish it.

You might not enjoy its concept, but if you do, then you'll find a big game with a lot of possibilities. We hope Activision will keep on improving the series, but so far it's going the right way.

Still the game we played in 2014, and still a great game. There aren’t a lot of additions, but when rollback is implemented online matches should improve noticeably.

This is one of the best games on the Wii and arguably the best first-person shooter made for the console.

One of the most influential indie games arrives on Switch with a great version. It doesn’t offer anything particularly relevant if you’ve already played it, but if you haven’t, it’ll make you experience in a very interesting game the awful reality many people fight everyday.

Evil Empire delivers a fluid, stylish roguelite with excellent platforming, engaging combat, and strong audiovisual design that keeps each run fresh and rewarding, though it still lacks a bit of variety in enemies, environments, and builds to reach the very top of the genre.

Airship Syndicate delivers a solid RPG that you can enjoy whether you’re familiar or not with League of Legends, that also improves what Battle Chasers: Nightwar already did well.

Ragdoll Blaster 3 is a classic sequel that adds everything we expect from one: more levels, more options and more ragdoll to "shoot". With a very competitive price and a very long duration, maybe its gameplay is a bit overused, but it still works.

This third entry evolves and improves the formula to make it engaging and fun. The new combat system and the great amount of mini games make this new episode a great option for Yo-Kai Watch fans.
