One of the best Warriors games thanks to a good variety of characters with cool and visually impressive movesets. The classic Fire Emblem Warriors mechanics match perfectly with the Warriors formula, adding challenge and strategy to the mix. Sadly the game lacks iconic character from many games including fan favourites Roy and Ike.

A South Park game which is at least as good as The Stick of Truth was, and that is definitely something good. Better UIs, and never-ending humor of all sorts. Once again, a game every South Park fan must play, and a game you should play if you are not.

A good Gundam game. While it is an interesting mecha fighting game, it lacks to offer something else. A must for Gundam fans, but not so appealing for a more casual audience.

A story full of the plot twist that made the franchise so iconic. The class trial system is the best so far and developers improved every aspect of the game as well. Whether some people will like some of the most arguable decisions that the story takes, it´s no doubt it is a great game and a great sequel to this long running series.

Mask of Truth is a direct sequel from Mask of Deception. It has many upgrade in combat, apart from that is more of the same from the first game. If you are playing this is only because you liked the first one. A nice game that takes its time and it's rewarding.

Life is Strange Before the Storm feels like a true prequel to the original game, even though we don't have time travel abilities this time around. While character developments are interesting, this first chapter is unclear whether the journey will be better than the destination considering we already know how their fates will end.

This game is a tribute to both the franchises it integrates and the musou gameplay. Koei Tecmo with Omega Games weren't scared to go all out in the exaggeration of this kind of battles. While the story is interesting enough to serve as a string to mix all the characters, the new movesets and special attacks are a blast to just beat thousand of enemies. It´s a shame you can't play multiplayer of any kind.

One of the best One Piece games out there. Even though it is a 3DS game, the jump to next gen consoles fitted perfectly. The action/adventure gameplay with simple combat mechanics fits the Straw Hat Pirate better than one vs one or musou. Plus, the original story feels like a whole new anime arc.

Theseus is the first “big” PS VR action game where you see the character with a fixed camera. It's interesting to see a game like this instead of a first person view. This gives the game a whole different perspective from the usual VR game. It's simple but it's charming in innovative way. A good game if you like mythological stories with bizarre plot twists.

A series of very interesting concepts which unfortunately do not come together well, while also attempting to achieve a photorealistic look that is never achieved in full. Nevertheless a touching story about connection, given the reduced price point, it's definitely something you should play if you have nothing else lined up in your backlog.

Making the exact same game with brand new graphics is something no one did like this before. The game is a good idea to re-live the game as you remember, and it sets the debate if the gameplay should be adapted as well or not.

A strange not-so-good twist for a good saga. Even though Valkyria Revolution aims to be a whole new game, it's hard not to compare it to the original trilogy. Even though it has an interesting story and a nice "hack´n slash" gameplay, the game's pace is slow and gameplay is too easy and not at all strategic.

Chroma Squad is a surprisingly good indie game. While it´s tactical RPG gameplay manage to keep the ideas simple with some original mechanics, the best part of the game is the in-between-fights micromanagement part where we need to make lots of decisions to have the best tv show.

Star Trek Bridge Crew puts you in the seat of a Federation starship where you can be captain or crew. The game shines when playing with other human beings, but fails greatly when playing with AI. An excellent experience for the trekker inside you, if you find a suitable crew to play with.

Another entry in the Warriors franquice. A nice way to learn about the history of Japan while button mashing our stress away. More of the same for the people who likes the formula, too bad it lacks multiplayer.

Utawarerumono is a good tactic RPG game. However it's main component lies in the story. You could describe the game as a tale with some battles to go through the chapters. Sadly the game is pointed to a very specific target making it unappealing to a general audience.

What if Persona was still developed by the mind behind their first two games. The Caligula Effect is an accurate answer to that question. A philosophical story that will leave you thinking with some cool socialization system. In combat you can predict your enemies movements before issuing commands. Sadly it gets repetitive in every sense. A good game for Vita owners.

Outlast II changes its focus on the “clasic” terror formula that worked well in the first game, for a more psychological twisted atmosphere popularized by P.T. While the places you go through and the jump scares are good, the gameplay can´t keep up to make a great experience. An average game that could have been much better with minor changes.

Full Throttle's strength is found within it's compelling story and colorful characters. A new artistic style and a masterful soundtrack selection by Tim Schafer. Even if it's shorter than most adventures, it definitely left a mark in my gaming career.

Another Telltalte game. Another case where more of the same is good. Guardians of the Galaxy takes a great approach to the franchise introducing us to an already formed team fighting against a big villain like Thanos in the first chapter. Same framerate issues as always but this time a great soundtrack makes up for that.
