    Royal is much more than we expected. It’s an absolutely incredible game reaching perfection, improving on everything. On top of that, it comes localized, so the language barrier is not a barrier anymore.

    The second entry in the remake trilogy is so good that it left us wondering: “how are they going to make something better for the final episode?” Narrative, gameplay, content… everything is at the highest level, and it managed to keep us engaged, interested in the story and having fun for more than 100 hours.

    Ultimate is one of the best and most complete fighting games ever made, and an incredible homage to video games. This is a fantastic game where every player can find their way to enjoy it. It is an absolute must-have if you own a Switch, and a reason to buy it if you don’t.

    A huge world that makes the most of the Wii with hundres of missions which provide tons of hours of play. Probably the best Japanese RPG in years, and hands down the best of this generation.

    This is one of the best games we've ever played. We thought the series had peaked, but Atlus has proved us wrong. Unless you hate RPGs, you shouldn't miss it.

    Nintendo did it again. It's a great game to play with friends, with so much content we can literally spend months playing it. Also, yet another reason to buy a Wii U.

    It may no longer have the impact of its predecessor, but it is the perfect example that it is not always necessary to reinvent the wheel and that, sometimes, it is enough to polish and improve what already seemed unbeatable to make history again and leave a mark. indelible in an industry that, with titles like this, reminds us why we keep playing. Simply essential.

    This is the most ambitious project Naughty Dog has made so far. It's not a new genre, but it mixes up some of them to bring something unique. It's got nothing to do with Uncharted apart from the look some images may show, but still is one of the best games on PlayStation 3.

    Except for the language (as long as you don't speak English), we can't really find anything negative about it. It's one of the best RGPs we've ever played, and it'll make worth it every penny you've spent on the handheld.

    God of War Ragnarök comes to PC with a very polished and well-executed version if we talk about performance level, performing fantastically well on a high-end PC and also doing a good job on a more modest computer such as one of the "Steam Deck" pocket computers that are now present on the market.

    This is an interesting toy, but as a game it’s definitely limited. We’re sure younger players will love it, although we would have liked to see a more ambitious take on the concept.

    Pearl Abyss delivers an exceptionally ambitious open-world epic that pushes technical boundaries with its proprietary BlackSpace Engine. Although the combat is visceral and the world is visually breathtaking, the title currently suffers from a lack of focus and inconsistent narrative quality. Despite these flaws, its sheer magnitude makes it a fascinating, if uneven, experience for RPG enthusiasts.
    • 83 Metascore

    It is a complete experience that fulfills its objectives in a remarkable way, a video game with all the usual elements in a role story and that gives a fun purpose to the fact of sweating, and is one of the best exergaming games we have seen.
