Paratopic is something different, a game with a tiny budget and the sole purpose of challenge your expectations. It’s very weird, but we love having these experiences that help us break our gaming routine.

Tamarin is boring, repetitive and full of issues. Unfortunately, this team of ex-Rare members have been unable to replicate the glories of their past.

Spinch is a fun game, that makes you interested with its aesthetics and keeps you with its gameplay. It can be frustrating at times, so make sure you’re up for a challenge in the final stages.

Marvel’s Avengers knows how to recreate the essence of the heroes it portrays, but it is a bit rough around the edges, and needs time to polish the experience and provide what you would expect from a game like this. This is just the first step, so we hope it all improves as it evolves.

If you miss Super Meat Boy and you’re happy to try one of their pupils, OkunoKA Madness is a very interesting choice for fans of challenging 2D platformers.

It’s great to see new takes on the Souls formula, but they need to have something special if they want to find their place in a market that’s becoming more and more saturated. Hellpoint has a solid foundation and good ideas, but that’s about it.

NBA 2K21 offers the best virtual basketball experience out there, even if it still needs some tweaks to polish the gameplay and microtransactions are, once again, everywhere.

Kingdoms of Amalur returns with a barebones remaster that gives a second chance to those who missed it when it was released, even if it fails to provide a reason to rediscover it.

This is a fun and weird (in a good way) mix of platforming and puzzle, and the result is surprisingly good. A great choice if you want something different.

This is a solid alternative to Pokémon, particularly for users who don’t have access to a Nintendo console. It has some shortcomings that you can expect from a smaller production, although it is a very enjoyable game overall.

Tony Hawk is back with a fantastic remake of the two original games. Vicarious Visions has done a fantastic job bringing back the classics, although this is the third time they get remake/remastered and maybe it’s time to give other entries a chance. We miss more options for online multiplayer, but other than that, it’s a must-have for those who ever enjoyed the series.

WRC 9 is another step in the right direction. This game offers tons of options to make the game accessible for everyone, as well as loads of official WRC content to keep us playing for hours.

The Last Campfire gets lost in its good intentions. There’s a sense of shallowness, and overall it feels like a very simplistic adventure that, even if enjoyable, doesn’t seem offer anything special.

Iron Harvest 1920+ has its campaign and its art style carry most of the weight of the experience, and it needs some adjustments in its formula to truly shine.

Ary and the Secret of the Seasons is a good game, although there are some aspects, like the combat, that still need a lot of work. Still, we’ve enjoyed this humble production.

Madden takes a step towards a more arcade-y approach, becoming the most accessible NFL game in many years. EA is trying to find the right identity for the series, and so far we have a very solid title, that still needs some work to be the game this sport deserves.

Risk of Rain 2 does a great job at creating an engaging world full of frantic moments, although sometimes its procedural features get in the way.

Wasteland 3 is a very special RPG experience, where each decision really matters, with a fantastic soundtrack and great cooperative mode. The combat is a little flawed, but its a minor issue compared to all its strengths.

Crystal Chronicles wasn’t the best spin-off of the series, and this remaster (as well as the issues and missing features it brings with it) won’t change that. It can be fun with friends, but there are better RPGs out there.

Pistol Whip is one of the best experiences we’ve ever had in VR. A fusion between Time Crisis and a rhythm game, cleverly designed, fun and challenging. A must have for PSVR owners.

Golf fans don’t have much to choose from, but luckily PGA Tour 2K21 is a solid option. It plays great and it has many ways to enjoy its content, and it also makes a much better use of the PGA license than its predecessor.

If you like Captain Tsubasa, you’re going to have a great time. No there game has ever recreated the series like this, and even with its flaws, it’s a treat for the fans.

Windbound is a beautiful game that offers a great sense of discovery, although it ultimately fails to offer a meaningful experience. Poor combat and a repetitive formula make it hard to recommend if you’re not a big fan of the genre.

It’s nice to have an arcade alternative to the street approach of this sport, but its good intentions never materialize. Unfortunately, there are too many issues that get between the player and the gameplay.

Dontnod successfully brings back its narrative, dealing masterfully with complex topics and absorbing the player in its world.

No Straight Roads has fantastic ideas, but it fails to make good use of them. Even if the foundation is interesting, the execution ends up delivering tedious interaction and imprecise controls.

The third entry in this series leaves its roots behind to offer a more accessible game. We’ve had a good time with it, but Project Cars fans might be disappointed with this new approach.

Souls-like fans have an interesting indie approach to the formula. It has some obvious shortcomings, but it also adds some original features that work well.
