    Despite some minor flaws, like the exclusion of an online mode, or the absence of a story mode, Broken Destiny is one of the best fighting game in the portable console.

    A visually stunning and emotionally reflective indie adventure focused on the bond between a shadowy protagonist and a luminous dog, Koira offers a charming and metaphorical experience with simple gameplay, though it could benefit from more gameplay variety and navigational tools.

    REANIMAL delivers a stunning, fast-paced co-op horror adventure, visually captivating and brimming with conceptual power. It maintains a relentless rhythm and impressive scenario variety, especially for local play. However, its simple platforming and puzzles, alongside a broader lack of genre innovation, prevent it from truly breaking new ground.

    This is one of the best JRPG from 2018, and now it’s available on PC with all its vices and virtues. If you don’t own a Switch or prefer playing on PC, it’s worth checking it out.

    A great start for the fighting genre in PSVita and an excellent port of the original PS3 game from last November. It includes an easily forgettable touch mode, but its gameplay is great, its traditional controls are splendid and it offers lots of characters, although falls short in gameplay modes for one player.

    Yes, it is the same game we played last year, but better and bigger. Fans of tactical RPGs shouldn't miss this opportunity.

    Cryptark is a game that we've really enjoyed. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it doesn't have to to be an interesting challenge.

    Having pets in The Sims 4 is great news, and even if it isn't the most original expansion, it still is a good addition to the game.

    Pokémon is back with a faithful remake of the first adventure. We’ve loved going back to the original game with updated graphics and new mechanics, although we’ve found disappointing the lack of online multiplayer and a very limited endgame.

    Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu team up again to make a Japanese RPG which can be easily considered one of the best in years. It succeeds in innovating in a lot of features, with a charming gameplay that works and is very fun. It also has an epic and well-told story. A must-have for fans of the genre.

    This is a brilliant port of one of the best 3D platformer of the generation, that looks and plays incredibly well on the Switch.

    Blizzard has done a fantastic job giving Diablo II a very, very elaborate facelift, keeping the essence of one of the most influential games ever intact.

    Nidhogg 2 is a better game than its predecessor, with many changes that tweak the way we play. It's specially good if we play with someone, so think twice if you're playing on your own.

    BOXBOY! works, but it fails to surprise, and takes way too long to get to the interesting challenges.

    Knockout City is fun and accessible, and that might help it find a specific audience since those looking for a more involved multiplayer title might miss a deeper progression system.

    A must-have for golf fans, but it will be too of a simulation for novice players, as it doesn't include a comprehensive tutorial for those who have no experience in previous games.

    This is a great approach to the GTA concept, with extremely fun and different missions, and a wise use of the GamePad functions. If you really like the genre, you shouldn't miss this opportunity.

    This is one of those games that deserves a second chance. It doesn't offer anything particularly relevant compared to the original, but it still is a great game and it looks, sounds and plays better than ever.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning mixes the open-ended gameplay of games like The Elder Scrolls with a hack and slash combat system. The result is good, dynamic and fun, although lacks some more depth or strategic elements, and this can result repetitive in a game of this length. It is a huge world with plenty of things to do that can keep us engaged for weeks, and its only shortcoming is the story and its characters, which lack some more charm, and the repetitive design of the quests.

    PC gamers have now the opportunity to try a great fighting experience, no matter if they are fans of manga/anime or not. The visual upgrade on PC is, indeed, welcome, and the extra contents are appreciated as well.

    It might seem simple, but Lonely Mountains is much more complex than you think. A good idea fantastically executed that we recommend to those who are looking for a somehow relaxing challenge.

    Arise is exactly what we expect from the indie scene: something special that can’t be found in AAA. Its gameplay isn’t its biggest strength, but it all works towards conveying emotions –and that’s where it shines.

    Alwa’s Legacy makes its art style and level design its best assets. Fun, charming and very solid gameplay-wise, this is a great choice if you’re looking for a experience with a retro vibe.

    Odd Meter's Indika offers a unique, narrative-driven experience set in 19th-century Russia, focusing on a young nun's mission. Despite its lack of surprising gameplay, the game excels in story, atmosphere, and artistic execution, with impressive graphics and voice acting, though it could benefit from better optimization and more innovative mechanics.

    Any Kirby fun should buy this game. It's not the best of the series, but it's a great, although easy, platformer, and holds minigames and content to keep us playing for a long while.

    Total Chaos is a commendable survival horror experience, praised for its excellent balance of action and resource management, effective sound design, and successful visual revamp as a Doom II mod. However, it falters with imprecise melee combat, occasionally confusing and repetitive level design, and an identity crisis between horror and action, ultimately being too faithful to its mod origins to fully evolve.
