8.5 / 10.0 - TrackMania Turbo
Apr 1, 2016

Trackmania Turbo is the latest iteration from a bizarre genre, a racing game but with a roller coaster or Hot Wheels style, it is also its first appearance on consoles. It has sparked controversy among its fans.

8.5 / 10.0 - Amplitude HD
Jan 5, 2016

Amplitude is a pseudo remake, funded through Kickstarter, of the title homonym of PS2 released in 2003, which laid the foundations for music and rhythm games to become massive in the West.

8.5 / 10.0 - Layers of Fear
Feb 24, 2016

It's hard not to compare this game to PT/Silent Hills, it even has the same zoom when pressing R3. In its six chapters, each lasting around one hour, Layers of Fear you will give you goosebumps, no doubt about it. If we analyze it layer by layer (ha!) it does fall short on some aspects, such as voice acting, but the overall experience is really good. We are full on the "walking simulator" era, it's going to be interesting what each developer tries to do in order to innovate.

8.5 / 10.0 - Severed
Jun 16, 2016

First Person, Dungeon, RPGs, Touch controls, a weird mix, that makes Severed another reason to own a PS Vita, which is nowadays a very rare feat since the portable console has been completely outcast by Sony, yet kept afloat by developers such as Drinkbox Studios. There is no doubt this is a game that needs to be in your library, so go dust off that Vita and play this game.

8.5 / 10.0 - Dishonored 2
Nov 30, 2016

An enjoyable and highly recommendable experience, even more so to those who fully enjoyed the first game. Arkane Studios has improved everything that needed improvement since Dishonored came out, and they give us an excellent game to enjoy on consoles and PC. Stealth is far from games like Deus Ex, however it is still entertaining although somewhat frustrating. Level design is magnificent, specially in two maps: a mansion that transforms its rooms with mechanisms and gizmos, and another mansion we can visit in two different time sets simultaneously. Dishonored 2 makes me want to replay Dishonored in its Definitive Edition release.

An open world shooter that takes place in Bolivia, a new region that we are not used to see in videogames. It’s easy to notice this as soon as you start playing thanks to its map full of mountains that offers a small twist in the gameplay. It is also quite easy to jump in and out of online sessions making it easy to keep your own progress while advancing with others whenever you want.

8.5 / 10.0 - Tales of Berseria
Jan 31, 2017

One of the darkest Tales of games so far. An excellent cast of traumatized characters with a nice script and character development. Although it tries to change the combat mechanics, in essence it's the same as every other game. A must play for all Tales of fans and a nice game for newcomers.

Finally every game of the series leading to Kingdom Hearts III is on one platform. There is nothing new to these games from the collections individual release on PS3, but Kingdom Hears 1, 2 and Birth by Sleep are great games regardless of where or when you play them. Plus you have one more game and two big cinematic modes that covers the story of the DS adventures.

After the disappointing adventures of Michonne in the videogame universe of The Walking Dead, Telltale managed to show us why it’s main saga was so successful back in 2012. An awesome new cast and a story full of turns and surprises waiting at the end of every corner. A New Frontier is off to a great start.

A good DLC, a bit better than the big DLC of the previous game. A bunch of the trademark “cinematic fights” new characters and old characters with new animations. Lots of sidequests to try everything out. A good ending so far to the Naruto tale.

One of the best visual novels series out there. A gameplay similar to the Ace Attorney games that achieves it’s own identity. A great storyline filled with violence, intrigue and amazing plot twist.

I expected more from this game, content-wise mostly, whoever at it's asking price there is more than enough content, i'd love to play this in VR. As most 'walking simulator's this is not a game for everyone, especially if you don't explore much, you can almost make it to the ending skipping most of what there is for you to find. Do read the webcomic at http://www.theastronauts.com/comic/ which acts as a prequel to the game.

8 / 10.0 - Chroma Squad
May 31, 2017

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 Wars: Battlefront is probably the best multiplayer game in the saga, beating what the previous two games could accomplish. Sadly, no single-player campaign, in this way the attention to detail, characters and environments feel a bit wasted. Plenty of easter eggs to enjoy, specially if you leave the menu for a couple of minutes. Hopefully EA will implement an automatic rotation through different games modes, since many of them hardly have any players. A game you cannot miss if you are a Star Wars fan. Play it now though, being multiplayer only, i don't see this game having enough players for too long.

Mass Effect Andromeda is a good game. There are many new thing to explore for old fans like the jump/dash ability, it´s small open world style maps and the new version of the mako. For newcomers the core formula of Mass Effect is still intact. However the game can't surpass its predecessors only because they were superb games and this one isn´t. It´s a nice experience but not one you should play on day 1.

This game is pure art, whichever way you look at it, whoever, it's frustratingly slow pace eventually does tire the player. There is lots of hidden content if we choose to explore off ways, and since we have no clear indication of where to go next, this is something i even encourage. It reminds me a lot of the The Day of the Triffids novel, and Lost, the tv series. This is a game to be played slowly, relaxed, no rushing, you are not going to be able to anyway.

The final version of a classic Xbox title is here. Besides some bugs patched in the first weeks after launch, Gears of War: Ultimate Windows 10 Edition is a good revival of the original game, and an excellent opportunity for fans and newcomers alike.

8 / 10.0 - Headlander
Aug 18, 2016

Headlander it an outstanding game artistically speaking, gameplay-wise its really fun and even though it's story is lost midway through, it's not something that hurts the game at all. The difficulty scales linearly as the game progresses, finding more powerful enemies as we advance, enemies which in turn we can posses, making it all beautifully balanced. Some gameplay mechanics fall short as they are not used enough, however the game is enjoyable from beginning to end. This is why i absolutely recommend this game, it's a fun experience all the way through, although clocking at around six hours, it left me wanting for more.
