The Run is occasionally a fun street racing game hampered by a number of issues that prevent the game from unraveling its true potential. The multiplayer helps to divert the attention but not enough to realize that the heydays of Need for Speed: Most Wanted are gone.

Diluvion is a gorgeous exploration game with an unpolished user interface and an uninspired narrative. Lovers of submarine exploration will love it, but gamers looking for a complete package will definitely feel something’s lacking.

Armored Core V is a good step forward for this franchise. The huge and interesting multiplayer experience is a nice addition to the Armored Core brand. The lack of balance on the unlocking process and Conquest Mode, sadly, ruins the game's flow.

WWE 2K17 is a good game. It's worst issue is the lack of the Showdown mode, sold as a DLC. That was one of the most interesting and iconic modes of this franchise. On the other hand, the gameplay system is smooth, the WWE Universe Mode is virtually endless, and the editor is good enough to satisfy the wrestling fans out there.

With Guardians of Middle Earth, Monolith's purpose was to bring the MOBA genre to the console audience, trying to adapt the mouse & keyboard gameplay to the gamepad without sacrificing too much. Mission accomplished, since GoME really brings the MOBA spirit to console, but the lack of game modes and the few maps will bore you in short order.

Quotation forthcoming.

Very similar to the first title, with a bunch of new trainers, routines and a refreshed soundtrack. Ring Fit Adventurs is still king of fitness on the Nintendo Switch.

Silent Hill meets Diablo-esque dungeon crawler style with swinging results. Lack of variety, long loading times and mediocre graphics are balanced by some good ideas and addicting gameplay.

The Aftermath DLC is a good extra content pack for Battlefield 3. Two maps out of 4 are really awesome, while the others are quite standard. The Scavanger Mode is too fast and chaotic, but could be useful to change something of the usual gameplay.

560 Microsoft Point for 10 cars, 7 of which are quite irrelevant, could prove too much even for a fan of this series. Nonetheless, Turn 10 offers a DLC whose value is perfectly in line with what the racing games market has to offer. Only for fans.

With a new sci-fi setting, transformable mechs and some brand new RTS mechanics, the original Warhawk formula has definitely grown up but all this novelty come for a price.

Among Trees is a beautiful ZEN experience that makes us discover breathtaking landscapes.

Quotation forthcoming.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

Big Brain Academy is back on the Nintendo Switch with a bunch of old and new learning challenges. We're just a little bit disappointed by the multiplayer that lack some options available on the Wii and DS outings.

Tryst could be summarized with one, single word: speed. Everything in the game is fast, sometimes too fast, but it is a good way to provide an easy approach to hardcore gamers as well as newcomers.

It is the perfect mix between old and new and it's an opportunity to rediscover this masterpiece.

Another growth and revenge story set in ancient Japan, with gorgeous B&W visuals and cinematic slasher gameplay, flawed by input-lag issues and minor balancing issues.

An evocative story-driven adventure, with a simple and satisfying gameplay.

Testo: Etrian Odyssey Nexus is the last installment of the series for Nintendo 3DS and the last one for the handheld. The game is a love letter to the fans and to old-school.

A good start for a new adventure, Book One: Reborn is good but will leave you just wanting for more and wondering if the subsequent chapters will live up to its good foundation.

The Switch remake of Toad and Toadette’s adventures offers little to convince the returning players: the experience is almost identical to the Wii U version. If you haven’t played the original edition here’s a good chance to pick up a great puzzle adventure, but beware that it’ll end in less than 10 hours.

Pendragon’s storytelling is compelling and deep, the videogame behind the procedural plot is solid and fun. Unfortunately, although the graphic is well-executed, it lacks aesthetic courage, and the game is sometimes more anonymous than it deserves.

One of the much beloved Sega Saturn flagship games comes back from memories to hold our hand in an awesome journey through dreams. Nights into Dreams HD is an original one, a very peculiar platform game... without platforms! This new porting is good in every aspect except controls: the fluid movement of Nights now feel less accurate and joyful, but they are still good enough to not affect the gameplay for newcomers.

Dandy Ace tries the way followed by titles like Hades and Dead Cells looking for a humbler path and lighter colors. Although poor in terms of narration, Mad Mimic's game knows how to be appreciated for its peculiar gameplay.

A hellish procedural shooter-platformer with HARD roguelike elements and a unique style. Be prepared to sacrifice your soul to it.

Floor Kids is a very accessible rhythm game, without too many deep mechanics, but definitely funny. The art direction is simple but inspired and the soundtrack, the core of this kind of experiences, is a sequence of hits that you will not forget very soon.

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare: Ascendance has some beautiful maps as Perplex and other contents pretty commons. CoD fans maybe will love the chance to play one of the most beautiful maps ever created, the others can wait for a more balanced DLC.

SEGA Rally Online Arcade is a nice arcade racing that exploits the "nostalgia factor": colors, musics, tracks and cars are perfect for every SEGA Rally fan. The lack of 60 fps and some issues with the online are the biggest problems of this really good game.

At 29 Euros, Men of War: Assault Squad 2 is a big bang for the bucks for those who didn’t buy the original game. Fans of the series, though, have all the reasons to complain for what’s more of a DLC than a truly new installment in the franchise.

A competent old-style RTS with very good production values but few innovations, an underwhelming campaign mode and tons of potential for competitive multiplayer battles.

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.

Senran Kagura Burst is pure fan-service. It's combat system is good but boring and the graphics are not that sharp, but if you like these kind of experiences you'll find in this 3DS game a good friend to play with.

An adventure game that's enjoyable, easy to play, with an interesting plot, sold at a disproportionate price compared to the duration of the experience, despite the alternative endings.

Shu is a 2,5D platform offering a good mix of classic gameplay and new ideas. The level design is very good as well as the soundtrack, resulting in a relaxing and peaceful adventure offering a few hours of fun. This is not the game for you if you are searching for a challenging platform. There are no enemies in the game a part from the stormy all-mouth monster, who sometimes appears and a chase suddenly begins. There are good ideas though, from the visual art, to the special abilities of your buddies, who contribute to keep the gameplay varied. It’s a nice game, but really way too easy for experienced players.

Metal Gear Online is not the same game we used to love years ago. Konami has changed everything, killing any stealth and tactical playstyle for a quicker and more modern gameplay. Someone could like the lack of difference between good and poor players, but we'll miss the unique gameplay of the previous Metal Gear Online.

Teardown is a fun and creative game in a fully destructible voxel world.

Rainswept is a well written and emotional story, with an engaging mystery, a good soundtrack and a convincing cast of characters. Unfortunately, the basic gameplay shows some limits during the already few and clumsy puzzles.

FlatOut rises from its ashes with a little-more-than-average new chapter full of craziness, hi-octane speed and some annoying flaws.

Considering the initial expectations, Final Fantasy XIII is definitely a disappointment. Although the adventure looks absolutely stunning (especially on PS3), the gameplay lacks in terms of depth in a way that no one could have expected, and if we add to the equation the extreme linearity of most of the adventure, the whole experience is far from perfect. Anyway, we can't blame Square Enix too much: this is where mass market is leading us.

Although there are some improvements, PES 2012 doesn't innovate as much as fans were expecting, proving that Konami doesn't currently have what it takes to win the match with EA Sports. The game, anyway, is fun to play and represents a good alternative to FIFA 12.

Lumberjack's Dynasty is a mix between a life simulator and a management game, surrounded by a pleasant story of a budding woodcutter. Surely we cannot call it a latest generation game but it perfectly respects the value for money.

A fun and improved game compared to the first chapter, but something is still lacking in terms of content quality.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Tiny Bang Story has two different souls: one, less convincing, built on the classic "find the object" gameplay; the other one lives on its magic atmosphere and makes the game great to be played.

A good strategic game that not excel in any field, Iron Front 1944's primary task seems to be to fill our time until Arma 3 arrives.

Smart As… is a good brain-training game from Sony, but unfortunately its price doesn't help to reach a better score.

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.

Joe Danger Infinity is a funny game, but is also too similar to the previous Joe Danger game on iOS. The new levels and the various vehicles are not enough to stop us from calling it the classic “more of the same”. Anyway, it’s a very nice “same”.

Beyond some unconvincing visuals and some technical flaws, Aliens Vs Predator proves to be a well crafted FPS, fully able to recreate the engaging and terrifying atmosphere of its cinematic counterparts. Rebellion has definitely managed to capitalize on Aliens Vs Predator's source materials.

Dead Island is not your typical zombie game and certainly it's not flawless, but if you take your time in Banoi Island, you'll have a good, gory, tropical-flesh salad.

Seasons After Fall is a beautiful adventure, a bit lacking in the playful side. The art design is great, the soundtrack amazing and delicate. The puzzles are too simple and the level design is not surprising. A game that is nice to see, a little less to play.

No Place for Bravery is a promising gory action soulslike with Sekiro-esque combats and some pretty good chunks of gameplay but also balancing issues and some annoying bugs.

This RTS game is very challenging to master and will need a lot of time for you to be crafty with the different skills, manoeuvres and tactics. Not a game for everyone though. A must try for all Warhammer 40k fans.

Gods Will Fall has the potential to become a little classic amongst the souls-like roguelite action games, but lacks a bit of variety and depth of gameplay.

Total Tank Simulator is a super interesting mix between strategy and action in a WWII sandbox low-poly game. Negating the player any strategic RTS-like command is probably an error that we hope will be soon rectified by the dev team.

The Sims 4: Get to Work expands The Sims 4 gameplay, but is too expensive for only 3 jobs and an activity.

The home consoles and PC editions of Batman Arkham Asylum: Blackgate feel as good as the PS Vita version, with overhauled graphics and audio, and some minor gameplay additions.

Gatling Gears is a nice shooter with awesome graphics and an incredible mecha design. The main problem, here, is the lack of a real challenge due to the godly easy difficulty level. If you're looking for a nice shoot 'em up for casual gamers, this is your game.

Although this add-on surely deserves attention from any fan of the franchise thanks to its enriched gameplay experience, some gamers might not find it worthy of a further investment.

An enjoyable adventure game with a strong and intriguing plot, but also a rough diamond due to its lack of polish and other minor flaws.

A fun but not so deep collection of minigames.

Jaw of Hakkon is a good expansion but isn’t able to reach the high standard of quality of Dragon Age Inquisition.

To consider The 3rd Birthday as a real sequel of Parasite Eve is a bad mistake: it is just a pretty good TPS spin-off that has its ups and downs... Now, dear Square Enix, we want a real third chapter of this glorious series!

Quotation forthcoming.

Sadly, Close Quarters is a perfect example of a "Call of Duty wannabe". This is a carbon copy of the popular FPS, disguised as a simple DLC. Even the game modes are the same. The lack of original ideas is sad, but it isn't enough to crush a good experience. The maps are interesting and if you're looking for something different from the original (and awesome) Battlefield gameplay, you could give it a try.

Know by heart is an exciting and well-written story, despite starting out very slowly.

MXGP 2020 comes to the annual appointment with slight improvements and an all too well known formula. Milestone should risk more and propose something new.

Sunless Skies is a real "interactive book". In the new game of Failbetter Games there are texts of a really rare quality for a video game, like a good sci-fi novel. Too bad that the strength of Sunless Skies is also its greatest limit: there are often long sequences of readings a bit too verbose and ends in themselves.

Platformines is a brief, fun and fast paced experience, created with a nice pixelated style and enriched by a great soundtrack. Well, maybe too brief, given that the first run is over in less then 4 hours, and after that the only thing to do is another playthough with increased difficulty.

Killing Floor Incursion is an imperfect but enjoyable FPS, enhanced by an original and interesting control system.

Despite the fact that Rift is a well crafted game, with some fresh ideas and a nice class system, its desire to confront World of Warcraft ("We're not in Azeroth anymore") forces a point-to-point comparison where the Trion game doesn't succeed beat the Blizzard champion.

Conway reincarnates the best adventure games of the 2000s, with simple but very solid gameplay. A story to live in one breath, ready to surprise and blow you away.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is a good game with many issues. The brand new combat system is the most interesting element of this project, but a weak storytelling and the lack of a true challenge are enough to affect the final score. The game is still good and interesting enough to entertain players till the very end.

Ashes of the Singularity is an RTS that dares to do things differently and mostly succeeds. Spectacular, yet deep and interesting, the experience is only marred by a subpar single-player campaign and some quibbles in the user interface.

Even if it fails to depict the different aspects of and mature love story, Haven has undoubted qualities and its artistic side will make a wide range of players fall in love.

Need for Speed: Heat is a welcome return to the atmosphere that made the series great. A general lack of cleanliness and finish prevents the title from making the leap in quality but it is still a product that will satisfy its audience.

Quotation forthcoming.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds did not invent the battle royale genre but is the game that exploits it better than anyone else. With 30 millions players and after becoming a phenomenon on Twich, it's one of the biggest surprises of 2017 but is still far from being considered a masterpiece.

Warhammer 40K: Gladius –Relics of War is a splendidly crafted simplistic wargame that takes the Civ formula, strips it of everything except military but also makes this last part incredibly fun and engrossing.

Agony is a good horror/stealth game, for sure the best representation of Hell ever seen in a game. Although if the visual impact is amazing, many of the mechanics don't work as they should, making the game at times too frustrating or difficult to explore.

Despite some technical limitations, low longevity and lack of replayability, Metamorphosis is a game full of passion and respect for the novels that inspired it. A budget-priced game that every gamer who loves Kafka's works should offer a chance.

If this is your first Kinect-oriented sport game, maybe you'll love it, but if you already played Season 1... well, you can pass through.

Zen Pinball 2 for PlayStation 4 is a solid pinball game like the PS3 and Vita versions, but unfortunately there’s a small delay with flippers and DualShock 4 controls. Owners of PS3/Vita versions can automatically download tables purchased in the past at no extra cost, which is nice since Pinball Arcade doesn’t allow you to do that.

Kinectimals is a great experience for every child with an Xbox 360, but a more mature audience will notice some gameplay problems. Every pet is as cute and beautiful as the gorgeous landscape but the difficulty of some of the mini-games, due to some hardware problems, ruins the final experience.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst misses some polish around its key elements. Once again, it’s a shame to see all this untapped potential in an intellectual property like Mirror’s Edge.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a brand new videogame dedicated to the iconic anime series. With two career modes, the first following the classic events and the second offering an intriguing brand new story, with graphics very similar to the anime and some great moments, this is the most advanced Captain Tsubasa game ever created. Though, there is the feeling of a missed opportunity both gameplay side and story. Frame-rates are not so solid and we would have loved the addiction of the primary school tournament.

Even with some minor imperfections, the game is well developed and entertaining, enthralling with good storytelling and an nicely designed environment, enhanced by the excellent audio recordings.

Quotation forthcoming.

Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi is an interesting evolution for this epic franchise. Spike did a great job trying to create a combat system as simple as dynamic, but the result of this operation is the lack of variety in the final experience. This could be the first step for a brand new saga about the Dragon Ball universe.

A Pretty good horror adventure that wraps players with an engaging narrative and some clever gameplay solutions.

RiMS Racing is a very innovative title in terms of driving but immature in terms of contents. Its excessive difficulty and the lack of motorbikes and circuits won't have the other developers to be worried for this new competitor. Still, we cannot forget it's just the debut title in the two wheels market.

Neon Chrome is a fun but flawed roguelike. The frenetic gameplay and the multiplayer make it ideal for lovers of the genre, but an often imprecise level design mortifies its ambitions.

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.

The Saints Row saga can still be considered the most debauched franchise that lovers of free roamers could dream of. It has some good new ideas and the same shortcomings of the previous game, but it's a funny game nonetheless.

While technically lacking, Ar nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star offers many hours of play, plenty of things to do and an interesting albeit very exotic storyline.

As the previous DLC, Imperial City, Orsinium increases dramatically the amount of hours you can spend in with The Elder Scrolls Online. The new Maelstrom Arena is an interesting novelty and for many it will be a pleasure helping King Kurog rebuild the capital of his kingdom.
