    If you haven’t been following this game, Valfaris will be a great surprise. Simple but demanding and challenging, with tons of that 2D action we always love.

    art of rally offers an interesting take on challenge, and we really enjoy its proposal, but it ends up feeling repetitive fue to the similarity between stages.

    There's not many additions compared to the console version (except for the 12 DLC characters), but still is an excellent 2D fighting game. A must have for fans of any to the series, always keeping in mind that the Gems system might be a problem when you start playing online.

    With its 90s-inspired aesthetics, roguelike mechanics, and turn-based twist on the brick breaker formula, the game offers strategic depth, satisfying controls, and fun enemy design, but suffers from repetitive scenarios, an overreliance on luck, and some lack of balance between mechanics and randomness.

    EA Sports MMA is a good first step to build a new series, but it is nowhere near its competition.

    Knights and Bikes is a charming adventure, particularly enjoyable in coop. We’ve had a good time with it, but there isn’t much depth, challenge or innovation so, at the end of the day, you’ll want to play it for its charm.

    One of the most original games of the year.

    This title is a great platformer, that shows there are still ways to surprise within the genre. If you want a platformer for Christmas, this one is a pretty good option.

    A Way Out is something new and fresh that ironically brings nostalgic feelings. It's unique and original, and if you miss coop adventures, you can't miss it.

    The best thing we can say about Little Nightmare II is that it’s a game where every second is carefully crafted. In a time where most games want to be long for the sake of it, having such a meticulously designed adventure is a bliss.

    GoNNER is absorbing and constantly challenging. It requieres patience and skill to see what it really has to offer, but that's something you can expect from any good roguelike game, and this is one of them.

    Deck Nine are doing a great job with the series, and this episode is another example. Brave New World is defined by unforgettable sequences, interesting relationships and a surprising cliffhanger.

    It brings the original formula one step closer to perfection, improving its visuals and gameplay. There's nothing extremely special under the new version, but it's free and still fun, so there's no reason to stick to the previous one.

    This is yet another great fighting game for Nintendo 3DS. Visually stunning and very atractive, with great gameplay and able to offer lots of hours of fun thanks to its great online mode.

    Criterion's seal of quality. They've managed to squeeze the console version on Sony's handheld, just adapting the graphics to the new hardware. It doesn't look as good as the PS3 or 360 version, but it's still the same experience, and one the best titles you'll see on PSVita in a while. Absolutely recommended for fans of driving games.

    This is a little big puzzle that manages to constantly surprise the player with new mechanics and a beautiful story. It also looks incredible on PC with ray tracing.

    This charming debut by Zockrates Laboratories stands out for its beautiful handcrafted visuals and a clever material-swapping mechanic that adds depth to platforming and puzzle-solving, although its limited freedom, weak enemy design, and chaotic level organization slightly hold it back from greatness.

    Stasis delivers a great setting, a great old-school point & click feeling and a very rewarding experience. It might be a little bit short, but still we would recommend it.

    Chimes makes itself lovable for its simplicity, its concept and above all the relaxed atmosphere surrounding it, following other "quiet" games like flOw or Osmos.

    This is an excellent strategy with a green approach and ideas that manage to both test us and deliver a relaxed gaming experience.

    Pepper Grinder delivers a fluid and enjoyable 2D platforming experience with its unique drilling mechanic, although it lacks cohesion and confidence in its main gameplay mechanic. The game's constant introduction of new ideas sometimes overshadows its core mechanic, resulting in a somewhat disjointed experience. Despite this, it offers fun and challenging gameplay with a charming visual and sound design.

    The most remarkable element in its gameplay design is that it has know how to emancipate itself from the Rubik cube: previous attempts show it won't work in videogames, and it is just an inspiration for this game.

    Puzzle Dimensions offers very good sensations. An interesting and fresh game which will engage players.

    If you miss SNES’ beat ‘em ups, well, this is your lucky day. The Ninja Saviors is a great action game, and yet another example of this genre that seems to be coming back.

    Splasher is one of the best 2D platformers we've played in the last years, and it deserves more attention. If you enjoyed games like Rayman Legends or Super Meat Boy, give this one a try.

    EarthNight is an interesting option for those looking for an infinite runner. It’s fun and spectacular, although it lacks some content and ambition.

    This unique mix of classic survival horror and narrative adventure stands out with its vivid artistic style, intuitive mechanics, and creative combat system, although its story may feel underwhelming for some and leans heavily on dialogue that might not appeal to all audiences.

    A classic platformer that reminds us of Donkey Kong Country. Fun, beautiful and with tight controls for those feeling a bit nostalgic.
