    It needs more content, but apart from that, we can’t really say anything bad about this demanding, challenging, realistic and satisfying experience.

    As a remake, it’s very conservative, but we found fascinating going back to System Shock, not only for its influence in gaming, but also because it’s something completely different from what we’re used to nowadays.

    This is a good remaster of two fantastic games that any platformer fan should not miss.

    TumbleSeed is unique and different, and has very distinctive features. It's roguelike take on a skill-based game isn't for everyone, but if you like how it sounds, give it a try.

    There are a few more missions, variety and territories, but this doesn't mean that we're dealing with a bad video game, quite the opposite. In fact, it may be surprising how well this curious strategic-tactical experiment with roguelike elements has turned out. Its gameplay is very solid, the possibilities of the units are deep and the way of transferring the run and gun action to a new genre is talented. So if you are a faithful follower of Metal Slug and also connect with the style of game that has been devised, you may end up like us and get hooked.

    A game designed to offer fun, and doesn't dissapoint. Although it lacks a multiplayer online mode which would have been great, it offers enough content to keep us engaged for hours, and has a very affordable price.

    It's aimed at people who's looking for a video game experience rather than a traditional video game, and that's precisely its main strength. Supported by a great presentation, it's a story worth discovering.

    Dragon Quest VI is exactly what it promised to be: a return to the classic JRPG, one of the best of its genre, which remains faithful to the series' formula. It is its greatest charm, but also the greatest difficulty to attract new followers.

    One of the best things of Final Fantasy series is its music, and this game remind us of that. This is a gift for series followers, and if you like music games and Final Fantasy this is a must-have game. 77 songs and a great amount of extras and unlockables will make you play for many hours.

    The good use of the console potential in control and interface design, and the number of levels and game modes -multiplayer being especially remarkable- assure lots of hours of gameplay to strategy genre fans.

    Even if it is a nice surprise, Zoink’s new game might not be its best. The combat system needs more depth or, at least, be better distributed throughout the adventure.

    Murder by Numbers is a very interesting idea, that brings the Picross puzzles and the narrative adventures together. It has a slow start, but it’s once you’re in, you won’t be able to get out.

    Demanding, addictive, fun and free to play, League of Legends provides intense and absorbing moments.

    Years ago we wondered if the Rabbids concept would stall, but these rabbits are back as savage as ever.

    Observer is a great sci-fi adventure that looks goods and drags us into its world. We missed more difficulty, but other than that, it's worth the journey.

    This Gameloft proposal makes Asphalt 4 Elite Racing one of the best racing games available on Nintendo DS, specially in its subgenre, "real" car races. Mario Kart DS is still a difficult title to beat.

    Nexus brings key elements of Assassin's Creed to a structured virtual reality adventure featuring Ezio, Kassandra, and Connor, offering visually surprising experiences on the Quest platform, yet hindered by control imprecision, particularly in parkour and combat, with a storyline serving as a pretext for revisiting historical periods in the saga, and a wealth of mechanics but lacking depth.

    Although we miss some content, like the extra downloadable chapters of Tomb Raider Underworld, this is still a great compilation which offers many hours of fun for an affordable price.

    Metroid Prime 4: Beyond truly shines when it embraces its classic Metroid Prime foundations, featuring brilliant level design, inventive bosses, and a potent sense of isolation. Yet, the ambitious, often empty open-world desert, combined with tedious mechanics and frequent NPC companions, detracts from the essential solitary exploration, occasionally feeling too much like a conventional shooter.

    This is a great example of how to make a Japanese RPG, keeping its foundations but making it work in 2013. Fun and engaging, it has some issues that will we forgive as soon as we start playing.

    This adaptation successfully brings the universe of the novel to its own media. Although sometimes it's quite slow, it's a good start for the adventure.

    This is a Like a Dragon game, but smaller in scope. Fun, intense and spectacular, but it might feel too small if you’re used to the main games.

    Hatsune Miku fans will find here a title made for them, but still, it's enjoyable for anyone into the music the game relies on.

    This is again the best football game in this console. New gameplay features make this version worthier than ever, apart from the usual player and roster updates.

    The Adventure Pals is fun and charming. It doesn't do anything particularly unique, but we did have a great time playing it.

    NBA 2K23 is a solid step forward pretty much in every aspect, apart from the visuals and MyCareer, that are not as surprising or attractive as they were before.

    The core LEGO experience remains, but it's improved with some new playable features. Star Wars fans, no matter what their age, will definitely enjoy this new adventure.

    Although this is just an expansion, the story of the bears is interesting enough for those who have played the original, and those who haven't won't find a better excuse to try the game.

    A faithful gothic homage to classic Castlevania with strong atmosphere, solid bosses, and rewarding exploration, but hindered by clunky early movement, tedious backtracking, and the lack of map markers that make progression occasionally frustrating.

    Unravel isn't perfect or particularly original, but there's so much love and care put into it that it becomes something unique and special. One of those games that you'll enjoy if you need a break from Triple A and blockbusters.
