    This is an intense and satisfying adventure, full of challenges to guide us through its dungeons. It isn't revolutionary, but if you like the series, give it a try.

    This is a bigger-and-better sequel that expands on pretty much everything the original did. If you enjoyed the first title, you don’t want to miss this one.

    Ace Combat 7 delivers one of the most epic, intense and polished entries of the franchise. An excellent title that could only be improved by expanding its multiplayer and its VR mode.

    This new episode still is a great baseball simulator, but we think fans deserve a truly relevant step forward. If you own MLB 14, you should think twice, but if you don't and you like baseball, you won't find anything better.

    This is the biggest and the most challenging episode of the series, although in terms of performance is a little bit disappointing. Still, it's great game for any hunters out there with a Switch.

    If you like real-time strategy games, or if you enjoyed the first one, this is a game you can't miss. It's not a revolution, but it polishes the original experience.

    RiME is a beautiful adventure, very solid gameplay-wise and visually stunning. It isn't very original or challenging, but it has personality, and if you like this type of game we're sure you're going to love it.

    Red Steel 2 is a great game that offers an efficient combination of sword and gun and won't disappoint those who try it.

    This is a great example of how a remake should be made. It brings the series to 2017 but it's extremely respectful with the original concept. The best news, though, is that the three games are still a lot of fun, and you can enjoy them again looking better than ever.

    It is more lucid and at the same time makes you burn more calories.

    Even though it might be aimed at a less general audience, it's a very complete expansion, that lives up to the bar set for previous episodes.

    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 classic remains a premier Zelda-style adventure, excelling with its satisfying mix of combat and exploration. Although the native 4K resolution and DualSense integration provide a crisp experience, the minimal technical updates feel disappointing. It delivers a great starting point for newcomers, yet fails to justify the upgrade cost for returning veterans due to aging assets.

    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.
