    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.

    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.

    It is another step forward for the franchise, that will bring its fans the opportunity of enjoy this card-based game in a virtual way.

    One of the last "must-have" we'll see on Nintendo DS. It's simply one of the bests and most original SRPGs right now, with many hours of fun waiting for you and very interesting characters to lead us through the plot.

    It’s been a tough start, but this is the way to go. If they keep polishing the experience and adding content, Los Santos is going to be our home for a long time.

    The remake offers a captivating atmosphere and strong narrative with beautiful, detailed environments and improved character models, but its puzzles remain quite simple and the performance suffers occasional frame drops on consoles. Overall, it is a faithful update that will appeal to adventure fans new to the game despite some technical shortcomings.

    PC players can enjoy now the remake of the first entry of the franchise. It is a good port, and although the game has its flaws, it still holds up quite well.

    It feels like an update rather than a remaster, but remastered or not, it's a masterpiece you shouldn't miss.

    Tooth and Tail is one of the most original strategy games we've played in years, with great art and very clever ideas very well implemented.

    This year’s entry is a very solid football game. It includes some notable enhancements on the playable side, and it also looks great. A safe bet for football fans.

    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.

    Men of War impresses once being played. The variety of options make Men of War a title worth noting, and its graphical quality and photography work is very praiseworthy.

    This is the most polished and content-rich WWE game in years, with refined gameplay, improved animations, and a new open-world mode, The Island, adding fresh challenges. While Showcase mode lacks engaging match choices, the game excels in variety, technical execution, and depth, making it a must-play for wrestling fans.

    Charming characters, a more than excellent music, hilarious situations and lots of humour is what we'll find in this series of Monkey Island stories.

    Probably the weakest episode so far, even though it still keeps its essence and entertains. One way or another, we need to highlight its ending, telling us the final episode will be huge.

    This is a beautiful platforming adventure with very clear inspirations. It starts better than it finishes, but overall, it manages to become a memorable experience.
