    Jump Force is disappointing. A very shallow fighting game that doesn’t live up to the expectations of all the characters and franchises it is based on.

    Crackdown is back with a fun game that ends up being quite repetitive. Sumo Digital has done a great job finishing this title, but we expected a more evolved concept after so many years. The Wrecking Zone, at the moment, is pretty much a proof of concept, and we hope this multiplayer mode grows with future updates.

    Exodus is the most complete entry of the franchise. It’s imperfectly perfect, mature and has a fantastic narrative that keeps us engaged from beginning to end.

    Astroneer is a great adventure if you play it with someone, since playing it alone makes it quite simple and repetitive.

    PC players can enjoy now the remake of the first entry of the franchise. It is a good port, and although the game has its flaws, it still holds up quite well.

    Gathering Storm offers an interesting take on the formula, with less focus on the martial side of the civilizations, maybe to make easier to reach the modern eras. It is, overall, a very good expansion that brings more Civilization and gives it its own flavor.

    It might not be the most original game, but it’s very enjoyable. If you’re looking for a fun, challenging game to share with someone, it’s a good and affordable option.

    This is a very interesting metroidvania adventure fans of the genre will enjoy, although it feels very limited compared to other similar titles.

    This is a very charming puzzle adventure, although characters aside, it doesn’t offer anything particularly worth highlighting. All in all, it’s a good game.

    RIOT is not a bad game, but let’s put it this way: the best part of it is that it’s based on real events. We really enjoyed the concept, but we found the gameplay lacking.

    This is a very interesting mix of space exploration and crafting, with some roguelike and shooter mechanics, although its complexity and its confusing menu system makes it only recommendable for big fans of the genre.

    FutureGrind is a great idea very well executed, but it could’ve been something much better and bigger. It is, by al means, a original and fun experience, but we hope the team expands it and polishes it in a hypothetical sequel.

    This is a fantastic adventure full of platforming, puzzles and combat, with tons of good ideas and creativity. On top of that, we can have even more fun playing it with friends.

    There are better and deeper hunting games, but we’ve had a great time with God Eater 3, and it’s a very good choice if you’re planning to play it with friends.

    AWAY is a enjoyable roguelite in 3D, quite charming and fun. It has some issues, like its combat, but overall it’s a good option for fans of the genre.

    Blackout works great… sometimes. It’s a good experience for Alien fans, but it’s also quite short and its novelty wears off quite quickly.

    Slay the Spire is one of the first surprises of 2019. A game that’s both challenging and fresh, absorbing and fun from the very first second.

    If you miss Advance Wars, you have to try this. It might not be as good as Nintendo’s franchise, but it's definitely a very enjoyable experience for fans of this formula.

    This is definitely a very original title. If you like builder puzzles with a twist, make sure you try this unique game.

    Fans of turn-based strategy will find here a solid game that will help us discover some of the most important events in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

    Being an artisan in Portia is great and there are many activities to do, but it slow pacing and the 3D visuals can become a double-edge sword.

    Kingdom Hearts III is exactly what we expected it it be: an amazing game we’ve enjoyed from the very first second to the very last one. We would’ve liked to see a bigger challenge or more relevant extra content, but even so, it’s the perfect closure for an era.

    This second episode is a step in the right direction. Some decisions are implemented really well, while some others are absolutely pointless and force you out of the path you chose to follow through the whole episode. Together with the lack of puzzles or superpower-based mechanics, this second season relies mostly on the story (and a really good one) to reach the player.

    This is a very interesting and challenging shooter with well-balanced gameplay mechanics. We miss a little bit more of depth and more diverse situations, but it’s a very engaging and satisfying experience.

    Capcom has done an amazing job bringing RE2 back. It is a great game and a must-have for survival horror fans, although some of the design choices don’t work that well 20 years later and we wish they had worked harder on making the Claire and Leon scenarios more unique.

    Double Cross is great when it’s all about platforming, but the detective sections and the combat make it much less enjoyable. A sequel with some adjustments and a more appealing art style could be fantastic.

    Mario & Luigi are back with a classic great adventure, now available on 3DS. Bowser Jr.’s Journey is a nice addition, but if you played the original you’re not missing a lot. Either way, it’s a game that we’ve enjoyed from the very first second.

    Pikuniku is a fantastic adventure full of puzzles and exploration. It’s unexpectedly engaging, and even it’s only January, it already is one of our indies of the year.
