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.

Mouse: P.I. For Hire is a stunning achievement that pairs its masterful rubber hose aesthetic with frantic, modern gunplay. While the detective mechanics lack depth and occasional technical crashes mar the experience, the charismatic noir atmosphere and satisfying combat loop deliver a refreshing shooter that transcends its visual gimmick.

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.

Tales of Xillia Remastered offers substantial quality-of-life improvements like starting funds and battle retries, enhancing its robust combat and engaging characters. Yet, the graphical update is inconsistent, leaving large areas and secondary missions bland. The dual protagonist structure still requires two playthroughs for the full story, with one narrative path feeling less complete.

It's bigger and more complex than the original game, but it also has the same weaknesses. If you liked the first game, you'll like this one, and if you just want a very Japanese adventure, you'll be satisfied with Gravity Rush 2.

Behind what looks like a simplistic design, there's a game much more complex than you would think. Fun and addictive, it's a game that's worth a try.

Yes, it is yet another metroidvania, but even if doesn’t do anything particularly new or outstanding, it is a solid choice for fans of the genre.

Sword and Shield are a lot of fun and, at the same time, it’s also a disappointing evolution of the series. The core gameplay still works great, but Game Freak needs to listen to the constructive feedback and live up to the expectations of the franchise.

A fantastic musical adventure with its unique, wacky style that clashes (in a good way) with a cosmic setting and emotional themes.

Baseball fans don't have too many options available, and on Xbox One Super Mega Baseball is probably the best one so far, as long as they're happy with some Mii-like aesthetics.

Quotation forthcoming.

A good free-to-play game that, despite some flaws, is a lot of fun. It lacks some more game modes, a tutorial and more flexibility to set up matches, but it is a very enjoyable game for those wanting to give it a chance.

This fighting game offers deep, satisfying combat with a fresh REV system adding strategic depth, and a diverse roster of distinct characters, although its mode selection feels limited and its story mode somewhat uninspired; nevertheless, it shines online with smooth netcode and impresses visually with a unique cel-shaded art style and strong animations.

If you're looking for a great story, give OneShot a try. It won't give you many choices, but those you have will really matter. It's aimed at a certain audience, but this audience will love it.

Two of the greatest puzzle games join forces again with new modes for one or several players.

Dawn of War II keeps improving and shining. It is a game which will be liked both by seasoned strategy players and also newcomers.

This is a good collection with some big absences. We really appreciate what Capcom has tried to do to spice things up and help us rediscover these classics, although apart from those big names we also miss some extras to learn about the history of these arcades.

It works, entertains and reaches its objectives, but in future installments we'd like to see new elements in the formula.

This is a unique experience, one of those games you don't expect to surprise you or make you think, and then you're blown away. Brilliant writing and clever design work together to create a game you don't want to miss.

It's probably not going to get the recognition it deserves, but it's one of the best metroidvanias we've played in the last few years. If you like the genre, give it a try.

A polished evolution of what we saw last year, as if PES 2011 was midway to the goal PES 2012 has achieved. It changes some of the controls, and greatly enhances AI, although it still has its flaws, especially with the goalkeepers. But, above all, PES 2012 is a really engaging and fun football game, with much more variety and charm than previous entries.
