Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is a well-crafted game, but we feel that it's missing something to entirely accomplish its goal.

Better visuals, tweaked controls and the full story in a whole package. Even if you lose the “book” feeling given by the tablet, it’s still a nice RPG that old and new Lone Wolf fans should try.

After two years, one of the most captivating and surprising PC “indie” platform arrives on consoles… and it’s still a winner!

Sayonara Wild Hearts is the equivalent of a good concept album. A short and explosive trip, hypnotic and mesmerizing in its pop and ever-changing gameplay.

Considering the budget price, this off-road driving simulation is truly a must for lovers of the genre, but also for those looking for something different and a bit extreme than the usual racing that can be too easy.

Since this new adventure from Telltale seems to play in the same league of The Walking Dead, we can easily say that the credit due to them stands for the next episodes.

Mickey Mouse comes to the videogames world and the result is quite good: a peculiar gameplay, a big main actor and excellent technical work all give a new life to an historic brand.

Near perfect execution, great art and technical mastery make Valorant the soon-to-be undisputed leader of the competitive FPS scene. But, to no one's surprise, online toxicity is still a problem in 2020, while Valorant's world struggles to find an unique and distinguishable soul.

A brilliant physics-based puzzle/party game that merges Tetris gameplay style and Jenga mechanics.

Double Fine manages to create an enthralling and entertaining product, whose unbelievable originality clouds every imperfection related to a gameplay less complex than expected. Brutal Legend holds the real essence of metal, depicting it in its purest form, in the way that each of us has dreamed of at least once in his own life. Whether you love heavy metal or not, this title will offer you an experience you will not forget… and, who knows, you could discover a hidden passion!

The Outer Worlds comes to Nintendo Switch with some neat new gameplay features and a sweet balance between graphics and performance.

Another captivating RPG by Joe Madureira and friends, this time in the League of Legends realm. Gorgeous and demanding, Ruined King needs just a little bit of tuning to become an unmissable one.

Solar Ash, the second work of Heart Machine, is an artistically stunning game with a pleasant and fun movement system that will captivate you from the very first moments to the end. Too bad that the combat has not enjoyed the same care and presents a level of challenge that may seem far too low.

A little dream comes true for every Batman's fan. Arkham VR is one of the best titles available for PlayStation VR at launch.

Call of the Sea continues the tradition that sees the indie industry as a tireless forge of often unmissable gems and does so by moving beyond pure genres and also playing on contrasts. That contrast that perhaps pushes Norah to find comfort in an unknown so unfathomable and surreal as to be frighteningly fascinating.

Doom Eternal on Switch is yet another 'impossible port' that is successfully performed by Panic Button. Technically, compromises had to be made, but the heart of the game is still intact and beating.

Heart-breaking, devastating and sometimes adorable. Last Day of June is a simple but well-written story about love, death, loss and the cruel company of loneliness. A piercing and deeply emotional adventure, partially ruined only by regular backtracking sequences.

Total War Warhammer is a classic Total War game with some magic, heroes and monsters. It offers few factions to play with and needs a more sophisticated interface to help the newcomers into the series.

Creaks is extremely unique and different from the usual games crafted by the talented Amanita Design team. Still it is again the quintessence of an incredible work of visual and audio art intertwined in order to create a striking and funny puzzle game. An indie must buy like the previous Samorost, Machinarium and Botanicula.

Nex Machina is a super fast top down shooter with an awesome sci-fi look. You can play it alone or with a friend, but only in local, on-line is not allowed. Just like in the '90 you can find in the game all the magic of the coin-op era, but you will need sharp reflexes to beat the robots.

Technically has its weaknesses but the gameplay is pure gold. State of Decay is one of the most memorable, engrossing zombie games to date.

In DiRT 5 you will find the right mix between adrenaline and fun. Codemasters has managed to bring the saga back into the spotlight.

Injustice is a deep fighting game which grants a lot of fun. The combat system is quite different from Mortal Kombat and offers a really good experience. The Story mode is the best ever seen in a fighting game. The PS4 version has 6 more fighters and a lot of good extras.

The Battle Royal scene has now a strong contender. Gorgeous graphics, fast pacing gameplay and explosions, explosions everywhere. Slinging spells has never been this fun.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War is a successful return to the origins for the series. Treyarch builds on the roots of the famous military FPS to make it accessible and super fun once again. Too bad that Activision hasn't adopted the same cross-gen distribution policy as other publishers: be careful if you are going to buy a next-gen console.

Quotation forthcoming.

Resogun is simply one the best next-gen titles available that any PS4 owner can’t miss. Probably a bit hard, but If you’re a shoot ‘em up addicted, you’re going to fall in love with it. Once again, well done Housemarque!

Quotation forthcoming.

A solid edition, with new interesting feature, a smooth interface and a solid game engine.

Darksiders III is what a Darksiders title should be, even with its flaws. The improved gameplay and the astonishing level design make the game worth playing, even if the main story will not be remembered as one of the best in the franchise.

An excellent first-person dungeon crawler that will bring back your old-school memories of games like Dungeon Master and Eye of theBeholder.

Quotation forthcoming.

The new adventure of Wadjet Eye Games is a small masterpiece. Easy to complete, fit ascinates the player thanks to a deep plot and a protagonist admirably characterized.

Tell Me Why is Dontnod's most mature work so far: a delicate and merciless story, supported and equally fed by each supporting character and, fortunately or not, terribly close to our reality.

Quotation forthcoming.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is the perfect sequel for an interesting game. Square Enix has powered up every single element of the previous title, adding two great Modes such as Quests and Duels. If you like Final Fantasy and its great soundtrack, this it the experience you are looking for.

Guitar Hero Live is a great way to revive a dead franchise, adding interesting new elements and twists the original formula. This time both beginner and veteran players will have to learn their way through the new plastic guitar. And that sounds amazing!

With its super-cute graphics and its brilliant sense of humour, Tiny Thief is a simple but very enjoyable adventure, reminiscent of old classics like the “Gobliiins” series. It's just a shame that it ends too soon and will leave you wishing for more.

The Vita version of Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is really impressive. The graphics are as sharp and stunning as the one in the original version of this crazy fighting game. The new touch mechanics are kind of useless, though, but the final experience is still very good.

You Suck At Parking is a game like no others, one of those easy to learn and (really) hard to master. No real racing, just a straightforward set of inventive challenges in which you have to... park your car as quickly and accurate as possible.

The Zodiac Age is a demonstration of the foresight Square had back in 2006. With its open-world imprint and highly customizable features, this remaster presents itself a lot better than the first release did eleven years ago.

Octopath Traveler is not a perfect title, the fragmented narrative and certain predictable mechanisms in the progression system could make many people turn up their noses. Nevertheless it remains a unique RPG, able to combine the nostalgic charm of the classics with a modern and captivating writing.

WRC 9 is the best chapter produced so far by the French team Kylotonn Racing, improving a very solid career mode and innovating the multiplayer.

Quotation forthcoming.

A perfect working mix between fights and exploration: high rhythm, never boring. You're going to feel pure fun as if you're back again playing coin-up, being stuck with your pad, achievement after achievement, enjoying it for hours. Nothing more to ask from a game such this.

Tokyo Jungle is an unique and crazy experience that can be appreciated not only by the fans of Japanese games but by everyone.

The first expansion of Guild Wars 2 adds a lot of new content like Masteries, new zones and the Revenant, the brand new class with the powers of the Mists. Have fun to exploring the new area called Heart of Maguuma and try to find every secret.

The latest incarnation of the famous franchise is an absolutely must have for those who loved the previous LEGO games. Even with just some small additions, The LEGO Movie Videogame is the perfect product for the family and comes with funny characters, a brilliant story and a valuable replay.

For The King is a very creative take on the Boardgame and RPG genres with a great focus on multiplayer. The single player mode is more an afterthought than anything else, depriving For The King of much of its allure.

As Far As The Eye is a charming rogue-like resource-management game which brings the player into a truly relaxing atmosphere, despite its strong strategic system.

Metrico is without any doubt one of the best games available for PlayStation Vita and probably the best puzzle/platform title released this year. A must-have if you own the little/big Sony’s console. Unfortunately, it will only last a few hours.

Drive: San Francisco is a nice game with many interesting ideas. The Shift mechanics are good enough to offer a great experience, though they transform even the harder mission in something too easy for a skilled player. The massive multiplayer experience can offer many hours of genuine fun, online or simply on the same console with split-screen.

Raven Strike is a strong DLC with interesting upgrades to the original Future Soldier's gameplay. The new Campaign's maps are quite entertaining, and the higher difficulty level is a great touch for old school Ghost Recon's fans.

Another shot of the dangerous life of Jackie Estacado, The Darkness II is a truly good sequel despite it being a little bit too short.

Shank 2 has simply improved every aspect of the first chapter that there was to improve. Visuals, combat system... everything looks great and better, but it's still a bit too short and a bit too repetitive.

Mario Golf: Super Rush shoot another star in the never-ending career of Nintendo's mascotte. The game is perfectible and maybe its flow needs some tee lessons from Hot Shot rival, but surely is another entertaining piece of software.

Beyond Earth is more Civilization V than Alpha Centauri, and its gameplay is smooth and far less linear than the past. But it can't have the magic of Civilization that, with its artists, monuments and links with our story, has more appeal.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew is the killer application that virtual reality needed. Funny, engaging, unique in its kind, Ubisoft's game is also enjoyable by those who are not fans of Star Trek.

Quotation forthcoming.

Maybe Asphalt 7 is not so innovative as we might expect from the 7th chapter of a well known Gameloft franchise and yes, if you already own Asphalt 6 you could easily live also without it. But believe me, going wrong with Asphalt 7 is pretty impossible: great graphics, excellent gameplay, intuitive control system. Considering its starting promotional price, denying it a chance would be a huge mistake!

Wasteland 2 may not be a looker or the most polished game around, but thanks to its rock-solid gameplay and good writing it is a great RPG and a tribute to all hardcore fans of the genre. Incidentally, it also shows to the industry what can be achieved with a budget of “just” $3 million, when that money is put to good use.

The definitive collection of Amnesia games. Even without new content or a graphic upgrade, all the titles of the saga are still terrifying. Simply a must buy for all fans of the genre.

Maybe it's not the masterpiece we were waiting for, but Peggle 2 is still one of the most enjoyable games a player could buy and play.

A wonderfully crafted point and click adventure. Production values in texts, screenplay and voice acting are through the roof and playing the game guarantees hours of laughs and fun, but the gameplay is old nonetheless.

With Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Square Enix has done a great job refreshing two old games and turning them into something appealing for the young players of the HD generation. Both the graphics and the sounds of the games are in a very good shape despite their origins.

Fun, humorous, fresh and challenging: BattleBlock Theater is much more of a “game” than several modern “triple-A” productions, and definitely a worthy purchase for the puzzle/platform enthusiasts.

Bangai-o HD: Missile Fury is the best version of the Treasure classic. The combination of perfect controls and awesome gameplay creates a fantastic experience for every hardcore gamers out there. The lack of the offline multiplayer and the problems of the net-code during the online co-op are a shame, and partially ruin this masterpiece.

It is fun and engaging, and you will have to study at length every most important aspect within it: from the trade to the economy, from the strategy of naval battles to any situation that may arise. The greatest risk is that it may not be for everyone, despite its value and proposition. Port Royale is back, now get your sails ready!

LEGO Batman 2 will be remembered for two reasons: it's the first spoken LEGO game of all time and it's also an open-world adventure. Not perfect at all, but a very good game indeed... can't wait for the Lord of the Ring's one!

The steep learning curve hides a well-crafted FPS, best suited for those who like tactics and real teamwork more than fragfests.

Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception is an interesting game for both visual novels and tactical RPG fans. The 3d graphics are quite old, but the overall experience is lovely. The PS Vita version will be perfect for your summer holidays.

The second chapter in the Scribblenauts series is not a proper sequel, but an incredible update of the original game that will give you everything you wished for after playing the first chapter.

We feel confident that Shootmania Storm will be worthwhile more for the future user-generated content than for the actual gameplay offer. Buy it if you want to invest in an interesting old-school competitive FPS.

No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise is a great porting of the original game published time ago on the Nintendo Wii. The HD lifting is quite good and the addition of 5 bosses from No More Heroes 2 is a nice touch. Anyway, the old problems are still there, not enough to ruin the experience but to enough be somehow disappointing.

Pan-Pan is a visually stunning game able to merge a sandbox world with the gameplay of the puzzle game genre. It might be too short and sometimes a little illogical but the experience crafted by the lone developer of Spelkraft prove the unique talent of this creator.

A challenging and beautifully designed mix between a Break Out/Arkanoid clone and a flipper game.

Guacamelee returns in this shiny gold edition for every PC player who loves metroidvania-like gameplay.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is a splendid expansion for a game that is already very fun and very rich in content. The new monsters are very powerful and the new fighting techniques increase the variety of choice during the encounters. If you liked the original, you will love this DLC.

Anarchy Reigns is pure awesomeness, the true core of an entertaining gameplay and the God of multiplayer. Sadly, SEGA and Platinum Games will not earn much money from this great project. As usual.

Anna: Extended Edition represents the natural maturation of Dreampainters debut title. Italian developers corrected the most bitter points of their previous work in order to create a deep and complete game, an homage at the same time to the never-dying adventure game genre and to the most deep and sick horror.

Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition is a seamless port to PS4 of a masterpiece of a PC RPG. Obsidian extreme level of quality arrives on PS4 with perfect adaptation and with its stellar gameplay intact.

Paper Mario Color Splash is a colorful, funny and entertaining game. Nintendo has changed a lot of things with this franchise. The episode on GameCube is still the best one, but with Color Splash a lot of people will be able to have fun enjoying a great game, without thinking about 4k and mid-gen consoles.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a new beginning for the hit Nintendo series. It is not a perfect game and it suffers particularly from a technical point of view but it is certainly the most exciting Pokémon adventure for a few years now.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut improves some aspects of the original game providing a lengthy and malleable experience in a ruthless and believable post-apocalyptic universe. Even with a controller in the hands, this game reminds us why old-school RPGs are so beautiful.

FIFA 15 is a potential masterpiece but many issues spoil the gameplay. Ping-pong passing, finesse shots and speed return unexpected: with a little more polishing, this game could shine for real.

Despite the technical comparison sets Crysis a step below the best PC version, the job done by Crytek must be praised because it's clear that the gameplay, the level design and the story of this game are still a solid value after four years. For 20 Euros, is not only a good bargain but also the perfect way to approach Crysis 2 if you haven't played it yet.

Despite some minor flaws, compared to the HTC Vive version, L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files is an enjoyable experience even on PlayStation VR

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is not exactly a sort of compilation where you can find 4 games in 1, but it's a long and entertaining product that every fan of Spidey should try.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a majestic adventure in a world that blends life and death in a one-of-a-kind path of forgiveness and redemption. There are some imperfections due to inexperience but if this is the talent of the guys at Ember Lab, we can't wait to see what they can create in the future.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is not exactly a sort of compilation where you can find 4 games in 1, but it's a long and entertaining product that every fan of Spidey should try.
