    HLD merges a solid audiovisual presentation and a very interesting gameplay. It might get too difficult for some players, but if you're used to playing RPGs and action games then there's nothing to fear.

    Yesterday Origins isn't very original, but it's a great adventure that fans of the genre don't want to miss.

    In a certain way it may seem a title oriented to teens, specially for its aesthetics, but it will surprise those who approach it.

    Only after some hours does RUSE become what it really is: a challenging, well-made game, although with clumsy first steps, something difficult to accept nowadays, in a market that moves very quickly.

    An unabashed homage to the MSX classic Knightmare 2, Pampas & Selene revitalizes the metroidvania genre with enjoyable combat-focused gameplay, seamless character swapping, and a robust local and online cooperative mode, although its initial controls may feel somewhat clunky.

    This rhythm game excels in its accessible yet challenging mechanics and varied soundtrack, though the reliance on DLC and a subscription model may deter some players. Despite a lack of innovation, it's a fun, versatile title ideal for both newcomers and competitive play.

    This adaptation of the PC game Attack of Pearl Harbor has achieved very positive results, and has a noteworthy duration for a downloadable game.

    With its charming hand-drawn pixel art style, addictive kingdom-building mechanics, and quirky "only works when you watch it" twist, The King is Watching delivers a fun and original mix of strategy and roguelite elements, though its reliance on luck, occasional chaos, and lack of a proper story mode can lead to frustration.

    Very simple but yet very deep, this is a great puzzle game that has more to offer than it looks. Very recommended, especially if you can play it for free with PS Plus.

    It feels a little bit rushed, but it's a great closure for one of the most beautiful, unique, well-written, moving and special stories we've lived in a video game in the last few years.

    Charming, heartfelt, and creatively absurd, To a T tells a powerful story of embracing difference through humor and surrealism, though its message may lose some weight due to the light tone, and the experience suffers slightly from technical and camera issues.

    With simplicity at its core, Anno has returned successfully to Nintendo DS keeping all the virtues that made the last game of the series one of the most interesting strategy games in the system.

    11-11: Memories Retold has a purpose: telling a story, and that’s what it does best. Gameplay wise it feels a little bit weak, but it really shines when it comes to the narrative.

    This is one of the most innovative shoot 'em ups we've played in a while. Maybe it lacks a better level design, but the concept is good, the execution is good and it's very addictive.

    Although short in duration, and actually not very difficult, The Tiny Band Story is a great game in a genre with few titles nowadays.

    Variety is the word that defines Nier the best. Variety of genres and game styles which compose an epic, fantastic and full of action adventure.

    Yakuza 3 Kiwami & Dark Ties delivers essential gameplay updates for Kiryu's classic adventure, ensuring an entertaining experience. Although the Dark Ties expansion is a welcome addition to Mine's story, it proves brief and includes some padded content. Graphically, the update lacks the ambition of prior Kiwami titles, yet this remains the definitive way to revisit the game.

    Obsidian proves once again they know how to make RPGs, and if you're a fan of the classic ones, you can't miss this one.

    This new episode still is a great baseball simulator, but we think fans deserve a truly relevant step forward. If you own MLB 14, you should think twice, but if you don't and you like baseball, you won't find anything better.

    Steredenn is a great shoot 'em up with a classic feeling and a modern twist.

    This RPG offers a dark, mature world inspired by Arthurian legends and classic Bethesda-style RPGs, delivering deep progression and rich narrative choices, though its combat feels outdated and technical flaws like AI and animations reduce its polish; overall, it stands out for its unique atmosphere and scope despite some rough edges.

    It's not as surprising as the original, but if you enjoyed Grow Home, you'll enjoy Grow Up. This episode offers more possibilities, but still may end up being repetitive.

    Indivisible is an interesting take on the RPG genre, adding platforming and some other unique features. It’s one of those games that can surprise you, and that is a lot nowadays.

    This is a great game built upon a solid narrative that carries the weight of the adventure.

    This year’s installment refines existing mechanics rather than revolutionizing the series, introducing improvements mainly in game modes, such as the roguelike-inspired Diamond Quest and a revamped Diamond Dynasty. While the absence of last-gen versions hasn’t resulted in a major visual upgrade, animations and physics have been enhanced. However, the lack of localization remains a barrier for non-English-speaking players.

    Shadow Complex still is an amazing metroidvania, and even though visually it hasn't aged particularly well, the core experience remains as engaging as it was back on Xbox 360.
