Furi is a brilliant, fast-paced action game that combines elements from the classic Japanese bullet-hell shooters. The combat system is precise, the soundtrack epic and the engine runs flawlessly pretty much always.

After 10 years, The World Ends With You is still an original game. OK, gameplay wise we’re not getting the full experience on Switch due to the lack of a second screen, but nonetheless the option of playing in local multiplayer all by ourselves manages to recreate some of the original feelings. The HD graphics are spot on, but the overall experience isn’t as good as we remembered, and the price point seems a bit off given the age of the game.

Although it doesn't shine for complexity, De Blob 2 proves to be an excellent game that will surely appeal to both core and casual gamers.

More an interactive novel than a real videogame. The gameplay is only about talking and, if you want, playing a collectible cards game with your friends. But but to criticize the game for its simple gameplay would be an error, since it's a lovely, memorable experience that captures the essence of childhood and old movies, without being boring or too nostalgic.

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.

When The Past Was Around is an emotional story about love, pain and letting go, where the music is the real common thread.

Before the Storm represents a big appetizer for what comes next, but it’s something we already enjoyed (the original Life is Strange). Ups and downs in the rhythm of the story and a misuse of the best narrative and emotional moments don’t allow the prequel to be as memorable as the original game. The most beautiful moments of the experience are dimmed by a story that can’t really express itself the way it should and reach the long-waited climax the player would expect.

A good "metroidvania-style" adventure game, but its structure is a little bit too simple for the category. The level design is awesome, but the lack of a real challenge transforms a potentially great experience in something too flat for an hardcore gamer. Anyway, the game is still pretty good, and if you like Metroid-style adventures, you definitely have to try it.

Just like the previous chapters, Bravely Default II delivers a true-to-the-roots JRPG experience that is a little short in surprises, but truly enjoyable.

Toki Tori 2+ is an enjoyable game both visually and in terms of actual gameplay. The simple basics let the player always feel in control without making his quest too easy.

A rough, heavy, but beautiful story, with deep characters, a wonderful handmade graphics and an original lore. But it's not a game for everyone, with it's slow pace and tons of texts to read.

Quotation forthcoming.

Q.U.B.E. 2 is a pretty solid puzzle game with a better graphics than the previous chapter. The story is not very original and there are no complimentary characters, probably due to the limited budget. Even given this, if you like this kind of game you should keep an eye on it.

Bungie's new IP isn't a revolution but is able to create a genre of its own. It has a solid and accessible RPG system, fast and addictive gunplay, and its overall presentation is outstanding. It's not perfect, though, and we hope Bungie will be able to solve some issues in the coming months.

Knytt Underground isn’t a game for everyone. It is rich and fascinating in its own way, but the convoluted plot and the simple mechanics will surely discourage those players looking for a more canonical experience.

The first Disgaea game is back in a great HD remake. All assets are rebuilt from zero and the game now features all the additions of the Nintendo DS and PSP versions. If you never played the first chapter of this funny jRPG series, this is the perfect chance to remedy, and it comes in a retail version too.

Codemasters has succeeded in the difficult task to bring back to life a famous IP, looking forward to a multiplatform future, which has just started. If you are among those people from the 'old school', feel free to add half point to the final mark. If you aren't, and are looking for an easy game, just do the opposite and look for another game.

We Were Here Forever is a crazy co-op game that every lover of the genre might adore. However, the game suffers from some imbalances…

Quotation forthcoming.

Trials of Mana was a very, very good JRPG... 25 years ago. This remake retains some enjoyable features of the original but fails to jump on the new century wagon.

Despite some minor issues, Apotheon is a good bidimensional platform with small metroidvania elements, capable of capturing the player in an incredible, stylish world.

Dishonored Definitive Edition is the perfect example of how much the current generation is milking the market. The technical jump isn't that great, and the PC version is both visually better and cheaper than this one. Just buy that, and enjoy a still awesome experience.

Polaris Sector is a little gem of a 4x game. Its gameplay is straightforward yet very deep and full of interesting decisions; its few flaws are all in the user interface design, which has an amateurish overall look and feel. If only fair priced it could have been an instant classic.

Röki is like a sort of an evolution of the point and click genre, an adventure game far less overelaborate but still interesting and intriguing, only in a different, more accessible way which heavily lean on exploration. A journey of discovery and at the same time an intimate story and a folklore's tale.

Despite a fascinating concept and an undoubted strategic deepness, the console versions of R.U.S.E. fail to deliver a fully satisfying gaming experience for both fans and newcomers to the genre due to some gameplay flaws and some questionable decisions made by the developers.

Not only funny to look at, Toki Tori 2 presents an enjoyable and hardcore experience based on some original puzzle platform mechanics.

Frozen Synapse 2 is an average attempt at bettering a masterpiece. It actually makes few things worst introducing a bland open world and filling it with bugs and glitches a ton. Still good fun in multiplayer though.

Airborne Kingdom is a well-balanced city builder highly focused in exploration. In this Arabian Night-like world, graphic and music create a mesmerizing strategic experience. Sadly, with time, the sense of wonder decreases, and the game feels a little too predictable.

After the disaster of 2020, Visual Concepts and 2K Sports are back with WWE 2K22, a significantly improved game in every respect. The new control system, an incredible amount of content and the showcase mode dedicated to Rey Mysterio make this year's edition a must buy for WWE wrestling fans.

Mind Scanners is a narrative, dystopian game with some management elements. Aesthetically among the most apt on the subject. Unfortunately, its many timed minigames reduce the amount of writing elements and narrative gameplay.

Ghostrunner Project Hel is a fun and even more dynamic DLC. We definitely recommend it.

GoD Factory: Wingmen is a decent crossover between a MOBA and a space dogfight game. Unfortunately there is not much to do aside from the single game mode and the enjoyable hangar mode.

Short and a little too much flat gameplay wise, Old Man's Journey is a game which everyone who's looking for a simple puzzle adventure with a touching story should try. It will make you laugh and probably cry but in the end you'll enjoy every single second spent with this adorable old man, despite the obvious flaws.

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.

Detective Gallo voluntarily plays with many cultural clichés and mixes them with a spontaneous and genuine sympathy. it's a good graphic adventure, great for beginners and pleasant for the more experienced. Excellent quality of the drawings and sound.

Pokémon Art Academy is exactly what you would expect from it. It’s Art Academy with Pokémons and, while the premises seem promising, the game lacks the depth of Art Academy. Dedicate to children and fanatic Pokémon lovers.

As expected, the PC version of Crysis 3 is a blast in terms of graphics quality. The single-player is very good, but the real surprise is the multiplayer.

Hob is the reflection of one of the best developers of our time. A team brave enough to change completely genre moving away from a golden goose like Torchlight in order to create a little gem of level design and exploration. A puzzle game full of mysteries and wonder. [Recommended]

Some quirks in the AI and an engine yet to be optimized impede Total War: Rome 2's greatness just slightly. Creative Assembly has refined the formula in every conceivable way and delivered a game that fans of the genre shouldn’t miss.

Solatorobo is the typical DS hidden gem. A very nice adventure with a fascinating story and good characters, and a peculiar fighting system. There is a very strange but also very welcome surprise at the end of the game. I don't want to spoil it but... let's just say that maybe the end it's not what it seems!

Demon Turf is a rather conventional 3D platform game. The excellent level design and the good assembly of simple but effective mechanics make the experience pleasant overall. More could be done on the aesthetic level and on some secondary playful aspects.

Cold Symmetry has managed to bring home a project with a beautiful atmosphere, strongly inspired by From Software's soulsborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, but with original mechanics and folklore; pity for the scholastic execution, certainly due to scarce resources and workforce, which limit its longevity and bring out a framework with too much roughness.

Soul Calibur II HD Online is the lovely comeback of the best Soul Calibur game so far, with its well balanced roster and the solid combat system.

Too high, actually.

The game’s simple but original gameplay idea collides with its flawed design, but is good enough to give players an enjoyable pinball-RPG experience.

Obduction is the spiritual successor to Myst, and it offers all the stuff beloved by fans of that game, but with a refresh for the modern era. Puzzles are ingenious but can be frustrating if you don’t quickly understand their logic. There are some heavy technical problems that partly ruin game experience. Players who never played a game like this may be find themselves lost, but if you were searching for a game like Myst or Riven, you will be greatly satisfied.

Ratchet & Clank: Nexus keeps playing with the typical gameplay of the Insomniac Games' series. The new elements provided by the Nexus are quite interesting, but the smaller levels along with the short story may be a problem for people interested in longer experiences. This game does worth your money, but you should wait for a price cut before giving it a try.

Beautiful Desolation is an isometric adventure that makes wanderlust, cutscenes and visual art its strongest and stunning points. Enigmas and dialogues are surrounded with weird, tribal-punk and futuristic vibes. The gameplay brings some of the issues of oldest point-and-click-games: vagueness and backtracking. Anyway, the overall experience is magnificent, non-linear and original.

Apart from a few technical issues and a gameplay that might be hard to master for many, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition proves to be a good product, whose qualities, very similar to the PS3, Xbox 360 e PC versions, will surely guarantee hours of fun to the whole Wii user base.

Hangar 13 packs the perfect remake, suspended between innovation and tradition.

With Uprising Treyarch has tried to create something different from the usual Call of Duty's Map Pack, but the final result is not that good.

The Beginner's Guide is a surprising and clever follow-up to The Stanley Parable.

DeathSmiles is a brutal shooter with pretty (but a little bit dated) visuals, solid gameplay mechanics and a short life span. If you're an hardcore fan of Cave games and you're searching for another tough challenge, this is the SHMUP you were waiting for.

When Tetris meets the most diabolical competitive puzzle-game dynamics, the result is probably the most addictive puzzle game available in the PlayStation Network. Call some friends, get a Move and kiss your social life goodbye.

Werewolves Within is one of the best games currently available for VR. Immediate and fun, it is a perfect board (video)game for anyone.

It’s difficult to not recommend Flipping Death, a true lifesaver in this hot August. With a simple but not trivial gameplay, Zoink’s new game gives the best chance to play the role of a less terrible Death, committed to helping the crazy characters of an insane world and to solve one hell of a mystery.

The Surge 2 doesn’t look well aged. The gameplay is basically the same of the first chapter, and graphics are somehow worst. At least farming is enjoyable, and the bosses represent a real challenge.

Noita is a magical platform adventure that always encourages the player to start a new run, except for a missing permanent growth factor.

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is a great game, but the series' narrative has become a big issue to deal with. Ubisoft should find the courage to create awesome games with no bonds at all with the templars vs assassins stuff.

After three years YO-KAI Watch has been finally released in Europe. Despite its age the game is still good and the Italian localization does a great job in turning a deep Japanese experience into something entertaining for a very different audience.

Super Mario Party offers a wide variety of (generally) fun minigames, more than enough game modes and a couple of interesting ideas on how to use both the Joy-Cons and Switch’s features. It’s a great party game that will entertain the seasoned gamer and the newcomer as well.

The usual, beautiful Mario & Luigi. The innovations introduced by this chapter are enough to infuse a bit of variety to the adventure. For the rest, it is the usual great mix of action, platform and RPG.

A weird but interesting hybrid that mixes RTS, RPG, board game and trading card game mechanics in one delightful experience. Unfortunately, even if the mix works, the singular gameplay components aren’t deep enough and the game itself is mined by many minor issues.

A surprisingly good and solid FPS from Raven Software. Time travels and manipulations, Russian setting, tons of bullets and a little touch of horror make Singularity an entertaining trip... maybe just a little too short!

Supported by a stellar level design and an incredibly receptive story to the player's choices, Dying Light 2 is a very valid action open world RPG, which demonstrates how messy can be the development of beautiful games.

MAG is a real team-based tactical FPS that requires co-operation, dedication and discipline. It's a game for mass combat but not for the mass market. Once you have this very clear in your mind, the choice to buy it is only yours.

The Golf Club 2 is a wonderful golf simulation marred by an unispired online mode and some really annoying technical issues.

Deponia Doomsday is a humorous nonsensical narrative-based point & click adventure that will challenge players to understand its absurd world, figuring out puzzles and minigames. If you are into these kind of odd themes, it could well be a very enjoyable trip. Else, your mileage may vary.
