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.

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.

The expansion pack that every Sims fan has been waiting is finally here, with all the seasons and the dynamic weather we always wanted in this third chapter of the franchise.

Kona is an interesting action adventure that sports a good atmosphere and some survival elements: unfortunately it is also marred by uninspired combat, technical issues and unsatisfactory narrative.

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

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a beautiful monument to the legend of Goku and its wonderful world. But no matter how strange it sounds, it’s at the same time very close and very far from being the best Dragon Ball game out there.

Hard West is a very brilliant tactical game with a magnificient western/esoteric theme marred by some very poor design choices on the strategic level.

Space Hulk Tactics is a splendid conversion of the tabletop game. New mechanics, high production values and a ton of content and modes make this version the must-have for all the ‘aficionados’ of the series.

Madden NFL 25 is the best Madden to date but is not a great leap forward for the EA Sports' brand. Game modes are the same played since last summer and the gameplay feels different but only for the hardcore gamer.

A good start for Activision inside the world of collectible cards. Maybe a little too easy, but the road to improve this card-to-life game is wide and promising.

You'll love or hate it, no doubts. Great concept, great mechs, old school.

Encased is an interesting CRPG set in a dystopian alternative past that pays tribute to the original Fallout 1 & 2 for gameplay and core mechanics. Good storytelling and visuals. The combat lacks a bit of depth and strategy, but overall a good gaming experience.

Created by Double Fine through a crowdfunding campaign, Massive Chalice is an interesting turn-based strategy game that mixes the classic mechanics of the genre with some unique feature like permadeath, bloodlines relics and bloodlines genetics.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl lead us to rediscover the fascinating Sinnoh region fourteen years after the original. Too bad that many of the improvements introduced by the Platinum version have been removed and that these remakes do not present any substantial upgrade, except for a renewed visual aspect.

Addressed to the fans of Hiroiko Araki's manga, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is marked by strengths and weaknesses of the title dated 2014, only proposing small adjustments certainly not able to change the original judgment. Featuring simple and spectacular gameplay, CyberConnect2’s game still lacks today in terms of cleanliness and balancing of the experience, due to some very imprecise hitboxes and a not well balanced roster.

Draugen gameplay is flat and poor and sometimes the storytelling pace is undeniably flawed. Nevertheless the story of Edward and Lissie is absolutely enjoyable and deeper than expected thanks to two great main character that someday will definitely return.

Zumba returns with a new game featuring revamped graphics and gameplay; unfortunately, with the same lack of features too.

Poly Bridge is an uncommon puzzle game based on physics, in which players have to use not only ingenuity to win levels and have fun, but above all creativity and imagination.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Flame in the Flood is ultimately a melting pot of wasted opportunities that seems to be neither a survival rich with content, nor unforgettable auteur film. It is a real pity if we consider the fascinating structure supporting the game.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a competent and efficient classical RPG that introduces a new interesting managerial aspect but is also affected by a lot of boring and uninteresting moments. Crashes and bugs also don’t help.

in FAMOUS: First Light is a good DLC with an interesting story and a bunch of arenas for a horde-like gameplay. The Fetch adventure is smaller than the one we already played in Second Son, but the balance is much better. If you liked the original game, you'll enjoy with this DLC.

Considering the overall quality, both visually and gameplay wise, PES 2011 3D is undoubtedly the best football game available on 3DS. There's definitely room for improvement, but for the time being we can consider ourselves satisfied.

A surprisingly enjoyable (and challenging) 2D “sci-fi + western” action-platform with a quite original three-armed mutant bounty hunter protagonist.

Dante's Inferno is a well refined game with all the credentials to keep the fans of this genre stuck in front of the television until the final confrontation with Lucifer. The not always perfect positioning of the camera and the poor length of the experience prevent the final mark to go higher than this.

Kinect Sports in a good party game, and offers some great experiences like volley and ping pong. Just like any other multi-event game, it offers good and bad sports, but the final result is a nice and entertaining product.

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

A dark and gothic take on the survival RPG genre, in which cooperate is the only way to survive.

The Ninja Gaiden trilogy returns to modern platforms in a 4K collection that includes most of the DLCs released over the years. This is an excellent opportunity to rediscover an action classic.

Broken Age Act 2 is like a rollercoaster: exhilarating during its best moments, but it doesn’t last enough and stops abruptly. Enjoyable, but not the classic we were hoping for.

A lovely Castlevania-like adventure with intriguing time-control mechanics. It also looks and plays great.

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.

Warp is a very fresh and original puzzle/stealth/action game where you have to escape from an underwater lab, using your ability to warp, duplicate, swap with objects and launch them. It offers a wide variety of situations that you can resolve as you like, with stealth, violence or a mix of them. One of the best downloadable games of the year.

Until now we've got plenty of HD collection, remake and reboot, but it's still a good thing that sometimes an old masterpiece comes back for the sake of gamers. This is the case for Zone of the Enders: HD Collection, a good game which again presents one of the best sagas of the last console generation. Unfortunately there is not much to play for for those who bought the original game, but the games themselves are worth the cost.

Gravity Crash is undeniably a well refined product: the graphics are derivative but amazing, the soundtrack is atmospheric and the whole package surely works. Yet the addictive "last one before i quit" factor, that's so typical of the great arcade classics, is kinda missing here, and the result is a game that will entertain you without making you go crazy. It's not an Apollo 13, but neither a big step for the retro-humanity.

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.

Sakura Wars (2019) wants to refresh the franchise, while maintaining its core identity and narrative continuity. The rhythm and style of the story is perfect for a fan ofJapanese, anime-style productions and the characters, despite their tropes, let themselves be loved. The choice to simplify the battles so much is questionable, putting them practically in the background from every other point of view, but the Trust system, the stylish character design and the excellent dubbing manage to balance the accounts.

The biggest part of this game, like the environments or the 3D models, is the same that we've found in its predecessor. The story is afflicted by a lot of exhausting dialogues and the narration can be enjoyed only by a youngest ones. Luckily the growing and the combat systems are solid and funny, recommended to all Digimons' fans impatient to create they're own group of killing machines.

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.

My Brother Rabbit is a rather canonical point and click puzzle game, whose lack of originality in the structure of the enigmas and whose low level of challenge stain an artistic and narrative sector, on the contrary, full of good ideas, able to engage the player with an exciting fairy tale plot.

Two atmospheric and dark tales in one shot, with trial and error stealth gameplay and no extra features on the Nintendo Switch.

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.

House of Ashes is undoubtedly the best chapter in the Dark Pictures Anthology. The fascinating setting, a varied cast and the usual gameplay made up of tearing moral dilemmas and inevitable QTEs support an authentic descent into hell to discover an ancestral horror buried under the sands of the Iraqi desert.

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.

Telltale did it again and it could be defined the new LucasArts, considering how the studio works on its licenses. Lovely stuf and cheap price (8.95€ for the single episode).

Based on the lore of Persona, the gameplay is intuitive and its difficulty will meet all kinds of players' skill.

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.

Lamplight City is a successful point-and-click graphic adventure in terms of storytelling and with a convincing and pleasant retro – pixel art style. The almost total absence of enigmas, together with the lack of interactivity, prevent him, however, to aspire to the top of the genre.

The Serpent Rogue, like every first work, is full of edges to be smoothed but the basic concepts are interesting. The Warden's journey is full of difficulties, unfortunately often due to structural deficiencies. In any case, the Kiev-based team deserves the warmest compliments for finishing development in a dire situation.

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.

House of Wolves fixes The Dark Below's mistakes. The new ascension system works well and now the Glass Vault is again useful for every Guardian. The Prison of Elders and The Trials of Osiris are bringing into the game random gameplay and guaranteed prizes, the exact opposite of the raid. But how long will this new content last?

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.

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.

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.

One of the best entries in the Broken Sword series despite a too linear nature and a slightly disappointing ending.

Four good maps and EXO Zombies are the highlights of Havoc. Every Advanced Warfare player will enjoy the new scenarios but zombies fan are those that should really take this DLC into account. EXO Zombies is a lot of fun and EXO movements are a good addition to the classic gameplay.

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

Remember Me is an interesting game with a very good story and smart gameplay features. The superior lore Dontnod Entertainment has created with passion is deep and intense and offers the perfect frame for the story. A number of small technical issues can't ruin this great experience.

Serious Sam 3 BFE is the archetype of a breed of games that in 2011 is difficult to propose to the big audience. Boring and repetitive if played alone, due to obsolete gameplay and some level design choices, the game gets better chances to entertain when in coop. Do not expect anything new compared to what you played six (or ten!) years ago.

Zombie Army 4 feels like an entertaining B-movie crossed with a highly playable and mindless third person shooter.

With Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, the European Final Fantasy fans will finally be able to play a really good game, on the wrong platforms. A PS Vita version of this remastered edition would have been much better. The game is still great, actually, and if you’ll be able to stand the old graphics and the mechanics balanced for a portable experience, you’ll find a true Final Fantasy to play with for a long time.

Oops! Capcom did it again! Another HD collection is here, this time featuring Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel Vs. Capcom. HD filters, in game challenges, GGPO and a lot of extras to unlock, are good enough for a 1200 Microsoft Points deal.

Legend of Mana is back from the first PlayStation era with hi-res backgrounds and some minor changes to gameplay. It's not as good as it was back in the days but still it's an enjoyable JRPG experience.

Quotation forthcoming.

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.

While gorgeous to look at, Anno 2205 feels like a simplified version of the city builder the series used to be. New players will find it entertaining, but veterans may be a little disappointed by the lack of depth.

Lost Dimension is an interesting game with few issues coming from its low budget nature. The combat system is deep, fun and entertaining, the traitor random system works properly giving a good vibe to the experience, but the weak graphics and a couple of big holes in the main plot are enough to hurt the project. If you're looking for an interesting experience, you can still buy it. Just remember: the PS Vita version is the best one.

Just Dance 2014 is the classic Just Dance with few brand new features. The online multiplayer is almost useless due to the Party Game soul of the franchise. Playing Just Dance without sharing the same room with other players is simply sad. The On-Stage mode is funny enough and using the Wii U GamePad to record funny videos of other players playing the game is truly addictive. If you love this franchise, you know what you're going to buy.

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

Just Dance 2022 comes back with a variety of interesting tracks and manages to entertain everyone.

Tetris and garbage. The DNA of this production is pretty defined, cheap price. What else?

In an attempt to innovate the series, Tales of Zestiria makes some mistakes. It remains a game fun and exciting, especially due to its extremely interesting plot.

Shattered Horizon is an original product that proves to be very different from the majority of the more traditional multiplayer shooters on the market, but beyond its fascinating concept, it's impossible to ignore its lack of content that currently narrows down the variety of the experience. There is however substantial room for improvement upon which Futuremark will hopefully decide to build.

Cognition is a good surprise for crime lovers: thanks to its gameplay, the game makes the player feel really inside the story. If Phoenix will go ahead like this, it will become a very important actor in the adventure game genre.

Produced by SEGA and developed by Sumo Digital, Team Sonic Racing is the third installment in the kart racing series with Sonic and his friends as stars of the show. This time it is all about Sonic: characters and location are restricted to the series and there is a new vehicle customization system. Even if the graphics are improved, game contents and experience see a step forward and even if the game can be enjoyable at times, it will not match the greatness of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Even though it doesn't introduce anything new, this DLC proves to be a welcome addition to the game's main campaign. If you're looking for a good excuse to return to Pandora, Claptrap's New Robot Revolution is definitely what you need.

Backbone is an interesting 2.5D side-scrolling, noir, pixel-art adventure set in a dystopic Vancouver. You are a raccoon detective in a world where everyone is an animal.

The Silver Case 2425 is a stunning experience, but it’s only perfect for the lovers of this genre.

Gamedec is a good and ingenious crpg. Unfortunately, despite being also a good cyberpunk detective story, there are sequences that feel underdeveloped and unpolished.

MotoGP 13 is a good simulation ruined by poor graphics and few issues with the overall rhythm of its Career mode. Milestone has done a good job in recreating the vehicles' physics but the developers should try to improve their techniques.

Blade Symphony has lots of yet undiscovered potential. The community is great and the fights very rewarding, but the game can surely do a bit more to appeal to newcomers.

Underrail is a hard and unpolished game that can challenge and entertain the most hardcore rpg lovers. Casual gamers will find its lack of production values and its unfriendliness completely off-putting.

Book of Demons, with its wonderful game design and inventive, is an hack’n’slash that respects the time of the player. It’s ironic, fun to play, and challenging. The card system is solid: we hope to see it improved in future "Return 2 Games" installments.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

Though having some undeniable qualities, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record fails to improve on its predecessor, proving just a mere more of the same. Just for fans.

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.

An entertaining Diablo-clone with some clever gameplay ideas and a solid combat system. The lack of any kind of multiplayer is quite disappointing.

A New Beginning is an excellent adventure game for two reasons; one for its basic theme, so actual and so real that everyone should play it. Two, for its good feeling that keeps adventure game still alive.

Quotation forthcoming.

Rayman 3 HD is a fine restatement of a very good platform that could no doubt be enjoyed by the younger players. Unfortunately the little flaws of the original were not corrected, but overall it's a very good HD edition.

Greedfall is overall an action RPG open world that lacks in originality. Overall it's a well crafted game, but is marred by atrocious dialogues.

The 3DS version of Inazuma Eleven 3 is finally available in the European market. Despite of the good overall experience, the lack of new major gameplay features and the absence of the online multiplayer are enough to turn this Level 5 game into a “simply good” jrpg.

With Zombi, Ubisoft tried to get the best results with almost no efforts. Despite being a good survival horror with nice gameplay elements and a proper horror vibe, the game lacks in all the features which made it interesting on the Wii U. It's still fun and entertaining, but you shouldn't have raised expectations.

An enjoyable Metroidvania with great platforming, gorgeous visuals and solid old-school gameplay... but also some balancing issues due to its procedurally generated dungeons.
