Conglomerate 451is an average Dungeon Crawler RPG that gives you a lot of content but limited depth. In the end, it all results in a competent effort lacking soul both in gameplay and art direction.

If you own a PlayStation Vita you are probably a fan of Japanese things and if you are in search of turn based combat, God Wars is for you. Classical in the setting and in the mechanics, not bringing something really new in the gameplay, but hard and long enough to satisfy the your thirst of square distance and hp - mp calculations. Don’t like the genre? Stay away.

Necropolis is more than just another game trying to take advantage of the Dark Souls phenomenon but the hack 'n' slash/roguelite formula has some noticeable flaws. In co-op it's an intriguing experience but, especially in solo, you'll have to struggle with a rough IA, some repetitive locations and the total lack of narration.

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.

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.

ShovelKnight: Showdown is a frenetic fighting game, with very fluid sprites in pixel art and a lot of different play styles. It is very fun inl ocal multiplayer, but because of the lack of the online multiplayer it's not for every type of player.

Forget the first chapter, forget the time limits and everything that made the first chapter a real survival horror. This is just an entertaining action game, and a Dead Rising for dummies.

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.

After decades, Langrisser I & IIare still a milestone of their genre and it is wonderful to be able to finally relive these games in HR, on modern gaming machines and without the need for emulation. Unfortunately, the restyle work of thetitles has been done lazily to say the least and this sinks the valueof the bundle, which for the loyalty of its audience (and its price)would have deserved much more love.

Face Noir is a good adventure game, very strong with the basics and limited only by its graphic engine. A nice surprise for an debutant Italian team.

With a 15 years history, Worms is one of the most loved and known brand in the entire Industry. Like all its modern ancestors, Battle Island lacks of innovation, offering a maybe too proven gameplay, but it's always a Worms chapter, and this is really more than enough.

Tour de France 2017 is the official Grand Boucle game. The title is a complex tactical simulation of cycling, with a huge management mode: Pro Team. Unfortunately the graphic detail is poor and there isn't any interesting online mode.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III is a competent and sometimes spectacular dungeon crawler RPG marred by some very poor UI design and a couple of strange limitations in character progression. Still a very enjoyable experience for the genre lover mostly for the varied classes, the beautiful scenery and the over the top voice acting.

With Shattered Skies, Free Reign Entertainment is trying to gain back its fans' respect. Many players went crazy after seeing how the developers worked on WarZ. Shattered Skies has no micro-transactions, no P2W dynamics and no cheaters at all. Let's see if things will be the same in a couple of months.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a series that doesn't change in any way the Telltale's style. The game mixes the comicality of the brand with a more adult and sentimental side, a choice that can be appreciated by a lot of players, but not by all of them. Anyway the title is definitely a good purchase for all those loving the Marvel's galactic heroes and the narrative style of the Californian developers.

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. The Weapon Master mode is still awesome and both the HD graphics and the Online modes are good extra. But the 18.99 euros asked for buying the game is a high price for an HD remake. Too high, actually.

Through the Darkest of Times is a powerful modern art installation about thehorrors of the nazi regime. As a videogame it is somewhat limitedaside for being able to put players in very awkward and thought provoking positions.

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is a pretty cool game also on the PS Vita, despite a substantial technical downgrade and its some issues with loading times.

If you’re looking for an original,stylish adventure with an amazing soundtrack, this could be the perfect game for you, but keep in mind that after a couple of hours it has nothing more to offer.

If you're an old beat'em up lover, you can't miss Double Dragon Neon.

Not an essential buy for Vita owners, but even with a graphic downgrade, both games are still two of the most beautiful pieces of software available on PlayStation.

A very hard core metroidvania, with some good ideas and others not so good. You can appreciate it olny if you loved this kind of game in the 16 bit era. If old games are not your kind leave this on the shelf.

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.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is a huge step backward for this popular franchise. After the great Campaign Mode in Black Ops II, the simple 5-hour long Campaign of Ghosts is a shame. The Extinction mode alone could sell the game, but the overall competitive multiplayer experience isn't as good as the one we loved in the last episode from Treyarch.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is an exciting and moving journey into the relationship between Amicia and Hugo. Unfortunately, the gameplay is too guided sometime breaking the suspension of disbelief.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a wonderful story about respect for nature and animals, and it’s extremely important for all of us.

Though only marginally linked to the main story, Metal Gear Survive works. Doubts and prejudices aside about the continuation of the brand after the Kojima departure, Survive is a good and entertaining product, with a solid history and valid survival mechanics. Although not revolutionizing the genre, what prevents the title from achieving higher results are microtransitions, which although not excessively invasive, should not be present in a full price game.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is a clear step ahead of the mediocre Ninja Gaiden 3. Team Ninja tried his best to improve the original game and the final result is pretty good. Not awesome, but still good enough.

A great story and some well scripted/designed characters are not enough to elevate this Dynasty Warriors-style game above average status.

A fascinating indie adventure about lost memories and dementia, partially ruined by a trembling frame rate.

With Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate MercurySteams follows its own way of thinking about the epic Konami franchise. The developers did a good job in capturing Castlevania’s soul, but the game’s soundtrack and level design aren’t good enough to stand a chance against the other portable episodes of the series. It’s still a good and entertaining game, anyway.

More a puzzle game than a platform, Turn On, despite many flaws, wins the heart of the gamer with a truly inspired and dreamy design.

This new edition of Phoenix Wright is a lazy porting of the DS version of the game. The only new feature regards the use of the Wii remote in a couple of occasions, and it's a shame that Capcom didn't dare to do more than this. Anyway, the game is still good, and it's a perfect investment for those who never played Phoenix Wright before.

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.

Insidia is a free-to-play interesting take on the tactical genre that needs a bit more to become a full fledged alternative to other better established franchises. Gameplay is interesting and deep enough, but content and production values fall a bit short.

Even with a lifting on current-gen consoles, this is STILL Resident Evil 6 my friends, an action-focused third person action game... take it or leave it, but don't expect a good, old “Resi”.

With Magic Duels: Origins, Wizards of the Coast tries a new beginning for the digital series, managing to build a solid game that will probably satisfy most players’ needs. That said it’s too early to praise unconditionally, as future updates will be vital for the health of the game.

Thanks to its cheap price and overall quality, Nano Assault Neo is a good launch title that lets you try some of the Wii U GamePad's most important features. But it's way too short.

Alder's Blood is a valid game based on a solid genre, nonetheless it manages to give that something extra thanks to some good original ideas and an intriguing setting. The Switch version, however, is slightly inaccurate in the management of the movements of the units and breaks too much the pace of exploration and adventure with loading screens of unjustified length,given the minimal design of maps and characters.

Contra Anniversary Collection is a package that includes ten selected classic titles from the Contra franchise, part of Konami's "Anniversary Collection" series. It has an extremely fast gameplay, suitable for nostalgic players.

Quotation forthcoming.

Considering that this PC version is essentially a porting of the old FIFA 10 for console, this purchase is advisable only for those unable to play it on a next-gent platform on a regular basis.

Quotation forthcoming.

If Blacklight: Retribution was a full fledged commercial product, it wouldn't make it to a decent score: the free to play business model instead deserves some attention from the FPS junkies with empty pockets, in particular those who truly can't stand Team Fortress 2.

An atypical souls-like action RPG far from being flawless but still entertaining and challenging.

Suda 51's most recent production could have been something very special, but it's just a little (very little) sweet lollipop with a bitter aftertaste.

Operation Raccoon City is an average third-person shooter, with good elements and annoying faults, but please... don't call it Resident Evil!

The Evil Within is the game Resident Evil 5 should have been. The problem is that in the last 5 years videogames have evolved and some gameplay solutions have become obsolete.

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

The first portable RPG Maker title is finally available in Europe. An extensive tool for RPG fans with plenty of time and imagination to share.

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.

Spec Ops: The Line tries to offer new ways to play third person shooters. It's a more adult attempt to reach player's feelings but sometimes it fails in mantaining the tone of the production. Yager's game also lacks a strong multiplayer experience, without which it can't be a must buy.

Entwined is a interesting twin-stick experiment easy to play but hard to master. A zen-experience that you might like if you enjoyed games such as Flower, Proteus and Flow. Too bad you can complete the Story mode in just one hour.

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.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister does a good job on presenting a very accurate version of the tabletop version of Dungeons and Dragons in an original setting. A couple of issues here and there won't affect your experience.

Youtubers Life is a good managing game focused on a wired profession. All the mechanics are implemented with knowledge of the argument and the care for details is evident. It's a shame that, after a few hours, everything becomes a little bit boring. Only the most perseverant can aspire to become a real web star.

A decent action-game that resembles Devil May Cry's gameplay in many ways, with less style and a single, interesting new idea that Rebellion, unfortunately, didn't develop as it deserved.

A little, tiny mini-golf game, a little bit repetitive but perfect as time-killer.

Despite a necessary upgrade since the 2017 release, MotoGP 18 still has the same flaws from the last Milestone era. The core experience is great, but the magic stops as soon as you peak out of the circuit.

The reboot of Killer Instinct is pure gameplay with a well-crafted combat system. The rock solid 60 fps action is fun as hell for those who will try to master the shiny gameplay. Sadly, the lack of content is a big issue and six characters are simply not enough.

Turok Remastered offers lots of sentimental value, but its gameplay suffers the years passed since its first release and the price is a bit too steep.

Quotation forthcoming.

40 euros for two of the best action games of the past generation is a fair price if you missed them the first time around. Well, there's also Devil May Cry 2 but... who cares?

Rock Band 4 is fun like hell, but is less interesting and complete than the gorgeous previous chapter of this epic franchise.

Deponia lands on PlayStation 4 with no new contents compared to the original edition. Despite the years passed since the release of the PC, the game is still fun and entertaining, that reminds in many ways Monkey Island.

The Eye of Judgment: Legends is an enjoyable TDC game: the plot is pretty boring but, if you like the genre, the multiplayer mode will entertain you for a long time. Fans of turn-based fighting will certainly appreciate it.

The differences compared to the edition for PlayStation 3 are minimal. Atelier Shallie Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea is a good RPG for PS Vita, not particularly memorable, but still fun.

Despite an old-gen aesthetic and some minor issues, Descenders is a good downhill arcade racer with pretty good SSX and Tony Hawk's vibes.

Quotation forthcoming.

While offering nothing truly groundbreaking, Skul: The Hero Slayer is a fun, colorful, and fast-paced rogue-lite, a good baptism of fire for newbies to the genre and a pleasant pastime for those who have consumed their fingertips on titles like The Binding of Isaac and Hades.

Crackdown 2 is a huge deja-vu. The game looks too much similar to the first episode, and Ruffian Games did really few things to grant a fresh experience. Anyway, exploring Pacific City is both fun and interesting, and if you've never played the first Crackdown, you definitely must try this game.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is, sadly, too PlayStation-style. The stylus is only used in the character customization, and it is a shame. Anyway, the sharp 3D engine and the huge number of missions are good elements, and the multiplayer option is a nice addition to the original design.

Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame is another (little) step towards racing games' heaven for Milestone... but there is still a long way to go.

Sheltered offers a solid experience that all fans of the genre will surely love. Unfortunately a certain repetitiveness in the difficulties to deal with, mortify the ambitions of a game that is still fun and challenging.

Project X Zone is a crazy japanese cocktail where characters from a huge number of popular games interact in funny ways. Its gameplay is interesting at the beginning but loses appeal after a few hours, the final experience anyway is good enough. If you love japanese games, just buy it and be happy.

A funny "roller-coaster" spin off in the Fable series, with entertaining straightforward story and gameplay, partially ruined by some annoying Kinect-related technical issues.

First time on console for one of the first Suda 51's games. Love it or hate it... it's up to you but this is one of the most peculiar adventure ever made.

An action-packed MMO, with some important flaws that must be corrected if Sony wants to appeal a vast audience. Controls can become an issue if you play it on PC and quests are a bit too much on the grinding side, but the combat system and the customization options are fun. With some improvements this game could find its own place in the MMO jungle.

400 Days is a good expansion, but its pacing should to be slower in order to let us love his characters and feel bad for everything that happens to them.

There's nothing (new) to see here. Even if you are a real Harry Potter fan, maybe you don't want to go back to Hogwarts again

Soldner-X 2: Final Prototype is certainly a well-packed shooter. The mix of old-school gameplay and terrific HD graphics are again a good choice. Easier than its prequel (and that's ok), it seriously lacks in longevity.

Even without any kind of innovation, Ryder White is a fun and thrilling new ride in our beloved and gory Banoi Island. If you loved Dead Island, this new, bloody slice of zombie-pizza will make you scream.

An action-packed MMO, with some important flaws that must be corrected if Sony wants to appeal a vast audience. Controls can become an issue if you play it on PC and quests are a bit too much on the grinding side, but the combat system and the customization options are fun. With some improvements this game could find its own place in the MMO jungle.

Chaosbane is a competent action rpg that fails to compare to the best games of the genre but provides some good time bashing Warhammer branded monsters in an infinite mesmerizing loop that, in the end, is way too repetitive.

Pro Cycling Manager 2013 rests on the lack of competition and does barely what it takes to appeal to the fans of the genre. Passable, but a bigger effort would be appreciated.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Gunstringer is a cool game with all the crazy madness typical of the Twisted Pixel's productions. It works quite good for a Kinect game and offers a decent amount of fun. Despite the great number of extra, anyway, the overall experience is quite short.

Adéwalé fights like a character from Django Unchained and the setting is still too good to refuse it, but Freedom Cry is another part of Black Flag that makes us want a game just about pirates, slavery and Caribbeans, without having anything to deal with Assassins and Templars. Please Ubisoft, do it!

If you love multiplayer FPS, you'll surely find in Breach a lot of pros: frenetic gameplay, stunning physics and environmental interaction and, last but not least, a perfect skill system for the player. It will never be remembered as the most innovative FPS in Xbox Live, but it accomplishes its job well, and that's enough.

Rise of Iron is a solid expansion that quench the need of new content, but doesn't totally fill the belly of millions of Destiny’s fans.

Crimson Alliance is like Gauntlet mixed with some elements taken from all the Diablo-style titles out there. Limited loot and customization move its gameplay some levels under games like Torchlight and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.

Warcraft 3 is such a powerful experience that simply outshines the many flaws of the Reforged operation. Some people wanted a complete remake, others called for #nochanges, and in the end we got the simplest remaster. But it still remains the remastered version of a masterpiece.

AVGN Adventures is a great platform, hard to play but funny, designed for the fans of the show and for those who love real challenges in videogames.

Iron Danger is a splendidly innovative effort in the RPG scene. The time manipulation mechanic works neatly, until it doesn’t because of the too many enemies on the screen. Production values are also, in general, pretty high.

Quotation forthcoming.

Pumpkin Jack is a practically homemade game, with a lot of heart: it aims to celebrate iconic games such as Medievil and Jak and Daxter, without inventing anything new from a purely playful point of view, but offering several hours of genuine entertainment thanks to simple and well positioned ideas, accompanied by an extremely cunning story.

Yatagarasu: Attack on Cataclysm is a great old school fighting game, with an awesome fighting system and superb animations and character design. The lack of polish, and an old fashioned online mode, could be a big issue for modern players.

Farming Simulator 2022 continues the ten-year tradition of agricultural simulator, bringing some nice innovations but with little depth.
