Square Enix ports on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch a classic JRPG, released in 2000 on the first PlayStation. It does not add much to the original game: only better polygonal models of the characters and a better resolution in the cutscenes.

Quotation forthcoming.

A new adventure on an island where we try to survive, build and explore, with little monkeys!

A very good more of the same chapter in the Everybody's Golf series, but still... too much "more of the same". True fans will love it!

The console versions of The Sims 3 are exactly what we expected: a well crafted PC porting with some little new features that add some spice to the original formula.

The Stillness of the Wind is a very interesting chance to live the emotions of an old person. The devs have used all the right techniques to show and let play these feelings. Is not for everyone, but the game has all the characteristics to explain what freedom in indie games development is.

As expected the PC version of R.U.S.E. manages to assure an engaging and challenging experience to any fan of the genre. Its (maybe excessive) gameplay depth and high difficulty level might discourage any potential newcomers, but if you're not among them, Ubisoft's recent RTS will surely keep you busy for a long time.

Blood Bowl 2 is a fantastic tactical game that offer new thrills every time is played. This version is spiced up with super high production values and a very complete multiplayer.

Rhythm Thief is a very good game with over fifty unique music minigame and a good simple story to tell. Sometimes it can be a little slow paced, with long exploration phases instead of just having the player in front of waves of new challenges, but it is still a funny and fresh experience.

Under a less than exciting package, is hidden a fine motor biking game with tons of options and game modes. If Milestone will improve the graphics and physics engines for the 2015 version, we are in for something big.

7th Dragon III Code VFD is a good dungeon crawler for people who never played this kind of games. The art direction is interesting, the characters' classes are fresh and the original soundtrack from Yuzo Koshiro is a blast.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a huge first person GDR that can count on an higher level of immersion when compared with other similar productions. The combat system is amazing and, even if it will take you some hours to handle a sword correctly, all the time will spent will be worth it. A must-have for all fans of open-world RPGs in search of deeper gameplay mechanics.

Shadowrun Returns shows how good a Kickstarter project can be. A very solid project for RPG fans, with an excellent setting and a fantastic editor. Is it enough?

Another lazy remaster for consoles that only improves the resolution and the frame-rate. The game itself is great, scary and everything, but for the next remaster we demand a better work.

Far Cry Primal is an interesting variation of the popular Ubisoft franchise. The new ideas and gaming mechanics are fun and well-developed, but the close combat system could have been better. If you're looking for a nice adventure with a lot of exploration, crafting and animal taming, you'll enjoy this game.

It won't be remembered as the best horror game of 2017, but it will certainly send some chills down your spine.

Considering its incredibly high quality-price ratio, Section 8: Prejudice can easily be defined as one of the best FPS on the market. Some blockbusters devs should seriously learn from Timegate.

Despite the interesting arcade twist, four hours of gameplay and the inevitable Horde Mode are not enough for 1200 Microsoft Points.

Days Gone is a good open world, a bit conservative in its mechanics but with wonderful scenarios. The PC edition improves its framerate and graphics making Bend Studio’s game more evocative and stunning than ever.

Void Terrarium ++ is a dungeon crawler with roguelike elements, lovely characters and a charming atmosphere that lacks variety and has some balancing issues.

Quotation forthcoming.

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.

Super Mario Run is fun, entertaining and blessed by an amazing level design. The always online structure of the game can be painful for a huge number of players, though. How to suggest a mobile game you can’t play everywhere?

Pikuniku is an absurd puzzle-exploration game that takes place in a strange but colorful place, where the characters are not as happy as they seem. Fun and enjoyable to play, but too short.

Surviving Mars is a marvelous experience of city building, management, exploration and strategizing. Overall polish and good production values all around complete a deep and interesting package that will make genre enthusiasts and Mars fanatics very, very happy.

Band Hero is a product that doesn't add any relevant feature to the usual ones available in the Guitar Hero series, whose main difference is the audience it targets, less alternative and more oriented to radio hits or MTV’s videos. We must stress, however, that the game is sold at full price and that is released only two months after Guitar Hero 5, which make this product definitely less glamorous than expected.

Hindsight tries to tell a very deep story full of thoughts on the past and the future. Unfortunately the gameplay is too minimalist and the short duration fails to enhance its merits.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 rather than a "deluxe edition" appears as a porting created only to take advantage of Switch’s portability, without taking much care of the docked version. It remains a good title for lovers of the genre and the Oda’s manga, but if you don’t fall into these two categories we don’t recommend it.

Garden Warfare is a funny spin-off of the iOS gaming success. The main concern about the game is that you can only play three modes. We would have appreciated at least a capture the flag.

Samurai Warriors 4 is a typical musou game, with tons of enemies and crazy on screen action. Both Tecmo Koei and Omega Force have done a good job with the game graphics, but a couple of strange game design details could be hard to understand for the musou hardcore fans.

Maybe it is only a transition episode, but after Smoke and Mirrors you are going to love Bigby and Fabletown. It wasn't a simple task, and we will see the consequences in the near future. The writers could use this empathy in the next chapters to bond the gamers for the rest of the season.

A very nice racing game with perfect visuals and responsive controls. Maybe you will not play it for a long time and it's a shame that you can play only as a cop, but it's still funny and enjoyable, wih a lot of achivements, cars and races. If you are collecting the best titles on iPad, you can't miss it.

Mad, funny guy Wario. It's new adventure is a game, inside a game made of over 200 other crazy mini-games... with multiple characters and modes. You can't miss it.

Looking for a crazy difficult game? Hard Cops: Uprising is your best choice! This Contra remake is an awesome example of the old school madness, where players have few lives to beat the hell. A great design and an high production value are great extras to create a fantastic experience.

FOGE is a fresh and innovative grand strategy game that blends a lot of good ideas in the strategic department with fun and entertaining tactical battles. AI, diplomacy and, above all, interface design, need a lot more polish.

Though far from perfect, FIFA Street proves that EA is finally heading down the right path and fans can now hope that this brand will reach FIFA's traditional quality standards in the near future.

Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne HD Remaster is still a great old-school JRPG today, despite feeling the weight of its years. This new edition manages to remove some dust and offers the chance, for younger players, to recover an iconic title from the past, but it is undeniable that the remastering work could have been done in a much better way.

Yasumi Matsuno and Level-5 crafted a little RPG gem, but the great amount of text and the slow pace prevent us from recommending it to everyone.

Attentat 1942 is a well-written narrative and investigative adventure, a different kind of story in the World War II which delivers despite the flaws in pace and its extremely poor gameplay.

Rivals is a good street racer that adrenalizes again the Hot Pursuit brand with ludicrous speed and beautiful landscapes. The 30 FPS limitation on the PC screams revenge nonetheless.

A story-driven platformer with a unique style in both its art and gameplay. A fantastic journey for all kind of players.

There are new and better game modes and, overall, more things to do and see, but WWE '13 stays essentially the same and doesn't dare to stray too much from the formula of the previous chapters. The actual fighting mechanics are still too dull and could have been improved with a little effort.

Quotation forthcoming.

Although it doesn't reach Legacy's and the Exiled Prince's quality standards, Mark of the Assassin proves to be a worthy DLC that won't surely disappoint any fan of the franchise.

The multiplayer of Red Orchestra 2 offers various interesting debate points about the realistic online shooter breed: praised by many, played by few. Forgetting some bugs and the (hopefully) soon to be addressed performance hiccups, Red Orchestra 2 is definitely an entertaining product that, online-wise, will guarantee months of brutal fun.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is a great upgrade of the previous game. New characters, new game mechanics, more variety, a brand new story mode and the online multiplayer are great addictions to a nice experience.

Not the best collection around, but the games are still entertaining as of today. A nice opportunity to discover (or rediscover) the series, but nothing more.

The Flame in the Flood is a survival adventure that despite some imperfections, will attract everyone who liked games like Don’t Starve and Journey.

Assetto Corsa Competizione looks a solid port on the midgen consoles you should consider if you own a solid steering wheel. If you are about to put to rest your old PS4/Xbox One waiting for the nextgen, this one should be killer on next Xbox and PlayStation.

As Dusk Falls is an eventful and characterful adventure with many stories to tell. Unfortunately, too many stories create confusion and some stories remain without a real ending. A shame for a title with a unique and well-made aesthetic.

An enjoyable and refreshing Harvest Moon-like experience that deserves your attention.

PGA Tour 2K23 evolved from the last entry in multiple ways. The three-click swing adds another layer of playability, My Career is better than the previous one and the Top Golf mode is a fun multiplayer variation. There's still room for improvement and we can't wait to see the game against the upcoming EA's rivalry.

Evolve is a complex PC game marketed as a console triple A hit. Not everyone will like it, but it's a fresh take on an old concept nonetheless.

It's not Battlefield, it's easier. BF is accessible and entertaining, jump in and bring home the victory!

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.

The Da Vinci Disappearance is a good DLC, interesting for everyone who is looking for a couple of hours of nice single player story and, above all, for the most hardcore fans of the Brotherhood's multiplayer mode.

Hyrule Warriors isn't a masterpiece, but the cooperation between Nintendo and Tecmo Koei has created a really great Zelda themed action game. The Adventure mode is interesting, and the huge amount of unlockable content grants many hours of pure fun. The stunning soundtrack, moreover, is the real jewel of this project.

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.

We love videogames but what are the difficulties that every developer must overcome in order to deliver their creation? The Magic Circle is a funny and smart adventure which shows the backstage of the realization of a game providing a well-written plot and an original, though not perfect, gameplay.

Aggressors: Ancient Rome is literally a diamond in the rough. It is an incredibly deep and interesting take on the 4X genre with subpar graphics and some rough edges in the UI.

Funny, stylish and engaging. Feudal Alloy is an original Metroidvania that will put to the test your love for the genre.

Utawarerumono:Prelude to the Fallen is an excellent remake of the visual novel that started a much loved saga in Japanese territory. This remake is an excellent opportunity for many curious people to learn about the game, never officially localized in any western language until now.

Watch Dogs Legion is a rather fun game built on the basis of a very interesting storyline. Too bad that gameplay is excessively anchored to the two previous chapters, and the tech side is quite disappointing.

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.

Another solid entry in the “Batman Arkham” saga, despite some minor technical issues and the lack of new gameplay features.

An applause for the Danish team ThroughLine Games, which gives us an emotional journey that even the teacher Hayao Miyazaki would be proud of. Do not be stunned by the atmosphere of this game is impossible.

The Wild at Heart is a stunning experience that makes the player want to play all day long.

Firewatch is an incredible and excellent adventure. Despite some frame rate issues, Campo Santo’s first project is a must have for anybody in search of a solid and unforgettable story.

Quotation forthcoming.

Demigod is a good game with huge potential and that's why we expected more from it. It's not possible to blame its deep gameplay and fascinating design but we can't ignore the monotony that fills every mode in the game.

Midnight Fight Express is a good-looking beat em up that draws heavily on classic action and hardboiled movies to create a far deeper fighting experience than expected. If you are craving a direct, challenging and full of possibilities action game, look no further.

Ground Zeroes gives us a good preview of Phantom Pain, but it's too expensive for only few hours of gameplay. It's a good game but is it a good Metal Gear?

Maybe not the best episode of the season, Beyond the Alley of the Dolls has the task to prepare the ground for the upcoming ending. It does its work quite well, unfortunately losing a good deal of its glow.

Sports Champions is a nice experience, and is the demonstration of the PlayStation Move qualities. Some design problems with a couple of mini-games ruin the overall experience, but it's a pretty launch title.

Diggs Nightcrawler is a really good new interactive story for the Sony's Wonderbook. It's built upon a really good Augmented Reality engine and is full of fun ideas, characters and backgrounds. Maybe it is too short, but you will love to read it more than once.

Quotation forthcoming.

Resident Evil is still a masterpiece but this remake really doesn't bring any improvement, thinking about the previous version for GameCube (5 years old). It's just commercial but if you missed the last compilation, you can give a chance to Archives.

Different characters but same city and gameplay. Ubisoft could have done more but T-Bone's epilogue is still a good expansion to the Watch Dogs formula.

A pure old style platform ready to trigger your nostalgia and your laughs thanks to the unaltered 2D graphics straight from the late eighties and tons of quotes of old and modern cults. Nothing of totally new but more than a tribute. Rock solid mechanics, variety and a brilliant difficulty balance in level design make Unit4 a good platform for everyone and a hell of a challenge.

.hack is back with the remaster of the G.U. series, adding a brand new chapter. Unfortunatley, the old feeling of the mechanics is now obsolete and not so fun anymore. The big value of the plot remains, but is difficult to suggest if you are not a fan of the JRPG style.

Maybe not properly a videogame, Dear Esther speaks directly to gamers' souls. It's a very intensive experience and, after playing it, it's very likely you will remember this game for a long, long time.

The Signal is everything Alan Wake should have been. In about 2 hours of gameplay, the developers created a great atmosphere, a fantastic gameplay and the right amount of variety. The lack of different kind of situations was the main issue with the original game. The "floating words" idea is fantastic, and brings an awesome and original feature inside a previously boring gameplay.

As a 2D shooter, Not A Hero: Super Snazzy Edition works great. As a remake, just three new levels feels like too little of an effort.

MX vs ATV is a nice offroad game. The dynamic ground morphing system works really well, and is an important factor to study during every race. The weight management really gives the sensation of being in control of the motorbike. Thumbs down for the PS3 version, worse than the 360 one due to some graphic problems (pop-up e slow loading textures).

Armello is a digital board game with a great audiovisual experience and fun gameplay. Better to try it with friends, though, or its lifespan might not be great.

Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One seeks to innovate by making the gameplay more free and complete. Truth to be told some technical limitations, still the game remains a pleasant experience without highs.

PowerWash Simulator is an oddly satisfying and relaxing experience in the short period but FuturLab needs to add new levels and modes in the future to keep up its niche audience.

Quotation forthcoming.

No evidence of the 2K effect can be spotted playing WWE 2K14. Yuke's has tried to change something for both graphics and gameplay but the final result is a clumsy and hardly balanced experience. Just wait for WWE 2K15.

Sam and Max return on Nintendo Switch and PC, with a well done remaster.

Quotation forthcoming.

This remastered version of Devil May Cry 4 has the same problems of the original one. The heavy backtracking and few issues with the camera system are enough to get the player bored. But the combat system and the gameplay are pretty good, so if you'll manage to stand the backtracking, you'll still have a lot of fun.

The Switch conversion of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 shines when played on the go, as the image quality suffers a little on the big screen due to jagged edges and a pretty strong aliasing. The game itself it’s more or less the same that we played on other platforms: a strong fan service.

The Climb 2 is a good sequel to the first chapter, even if it runs into the structural limits of VR and does not significantly expand the content offer.

Snowrunner on the Nintendo Switch is still an enjoyable and challenging game, despite a bunch of flaws due to technical limitations.

Quotation forthcoming.

Quotation forthcoming.

Panzer General: Allied Assault is a card-based board game set in the WWII, with simple mechanics and deep, enjoyable gameplay. A good choice if you like little, tactical games.
