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.

A pretty decent game, with fast paced combat and a good amount of gameplay modes, but the lack of online play and a lacklustre roster keep Extreme Butoden away from the best Dragon Ball titles.

Saints Row Re-Elected is a lazy porting of a good game. Volition has filled the gameplay with an amazing number of contents, but all the problems are still there.

The casual nature of The Elder Scrolls Online helped Bethesda in this console version that shows the pros and the cons of the PC version.

Riders Republic is the game designed for all lovers of extreme sports, orphans of a product capable of satisfying their desire for adrenaline. The new Ubisoft title, net of some technical problems, is the new meeting place for fans of tricks and thrilling races.

Darksiders Warmastered Edition brings back Guerra into action on PC and current-gen consoles, along with a strong graphic upgrade. Unfortunately, no new contents or game modes have been added in the process, and even though some mechanics and environments could feel a bit dated nowadays, the core gameplay is still solid and fun to play. The budget price makes this remaster a good choice, even if you played the original game.

Quotation forthcoming.

Blackrock Mountain is a fun adventure, provided you’re willing to endure the insanely random Heroic encounters.

Quotation forthcoming.

Moonglow Bay is a sweet and peaceful experience, fun in the fishing and culinary phases. In the long run it's a bit too repetitive, despite an engaging story.

Down in Bermuda is an entertaining puzzle-driven adventure with a lovely art style.

For many people Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner Soul Hackers could be a cult classic, but for the rest is just a game that didn't age so well.

Just another classic point & click adventure, Kaptain Brawe pays homage to the 90's gameplay; good for mobile devices, is more an adventure "for dummies" than for seasoned adventurers.

In this game everything takes time. This is not a game that discounts and is not in the least meeting those who have never played a Survival. You will have to have a lot of patience, especially at the beginning. But all this changes in multiplayer.

We Happy Few presents a fascinating and catastrophic world, thanks to an artistic sector that highlights good design choices. Unfortunately, the gameplay and the technical side can not stand the comparison, and the final effect is weakened.

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.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs it’s another good horror game that can offer you some serious goosegumps and a very nice story. Unfortunately it’s also pretty linear and it lacks in terms of gameplay.

One of the best tie-in available on the market. Buy the game if you love Ghostbusters.

Grim Fandango is still one hell of an adventure, even after all these years. The problem with this remastered version is that Double Fine has done very little to make it tastier for the modern player. The result is a very nice game with very poor visuals and a “remaster” that tastes like easy cash.

Technical issues apart (inherited from the original version), State Of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition is a solid product and one of the best survival-open world games available now.

Hextech Mayhem is a fun game, but it’s often too confusing due to the visual effects.

Quotation forthcoming.

Assassin’s Creed Unity is not the evolution everyone was looking for. Ubisoft has done a good job with the brand new cooperative multiplayer mode, but the game has too many issues to be a real must-buy. Paris is awesome but having just one place to explore is quite boring, and the lack of horses or side gameplay elements such as the sea battles from Black Flag can be a problem too. And there are too many bugs even after day 1 patch.

Space Hulk Ascension is a faithful port of the famous board game with some new additions in the RPG ballpark that make the game both fun and interesting for tactical players. Too bad for the presentation issues that keep the game away from true awesomeness and don't do justice to the wonderfully crafted world of Warhammer 40k.

A remake that could satisfy the seasoned player with support for higher resolutions, but that fails in providing new content. Now it's possible to play online thanks to Steamworks, but that’s the only novelty of a (still appealing) game that has 15 years on his back, and does nothing to hide it.

Open Country offers a lot of contents for a very low cost. Hunting, fishing and quad racing, all immersed in an unspoiled setting in the wilderness. If you are looking for freedom and some healthy competition this is the title you are looking for.

Dance Evolution is a nice game with a "too-much-japanese" track list that could be a big problem for casual players. Despite this problem, Dance Evolution is quite entertaining, due to a design able to mix up the hardcore Dance Dance Revolution experience with new, interesting mechanics.

Semblance is a puzzle/platform like no other but nevertheless it's not as funny or as well executed as we hoped. The Nyamakop's video game lacks the spark that so desperately needs in order to really shine.

With Just Dance 4, Ubisoft is giving us another "more of the same" game. This title is pretty much the same of Just Dance 3, with a new track list and small differences here and there. If you're looking for the very same experience of Just Dance 3, just with new songs, the game is served.

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 is a good game for all the family that improve pretty much every aspect from the previous chapter.

Shelter 2 is an unique game about the uncertainty of life and the challenges of motherhood. Despite the few contents and a too simplistic gameplay, you will live a fantastic and emotionally involving experience.

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

Modern Combat 5: Blackout is a good first person shooter for iOS and Android devices with a great graphic engine and lots of contents. The only bad news is that you have to be connected online even to play the single player missions.

FAST Racing NEO is definitely a good racing game for Wii U that tests players' skills with a strange, and not customizable, control setting. Buy it only if you love challenges and zero-g racing games.

Another challenging and entertaining racing game from Italian developer Milestone... but not enough to compete with the best titles in the genre.

Cloudpunk is an interesting narrative game taking place in a breathtaking futuristic city in which you zip with your flying car to make delivery, explore and advance the story. Gameplay is a bit lacking but the city graphic design makes it worth your time and money.

Ooblets is a fun and very relaxing game, but all the frame drops and repetitiveness at times do not fully enhance it.

Just like the previous chapter, The Cruel King and the Great Hero tells an enchanting story with a beautiful hand-drawn graphic style, but fails to bring an evolution to the repetitive and unbalanced gameplay.

Backbreaker Vengeance has interesting ideas, but problems are bigger than the good things. The awful lag during the online matches and the slow controls are quite a problem for such a good arcade gameplay.

Gods will be watching is an interesting experiment about ethics and morals, but its frustrating level of challenge makes it almost impossible to enjoy. Also, during the story you don’t feel that your decisions really have an influence in the big picture. We don’t know if it’s an intentional decision but these Gods really love chaos and to make you feel miserable.

Thanks to a strong narrative and a relatively good concept, Nier is to be considered a decent addition to the PS3's and 360's RPG catalog. Although its visuals aren't surely breathtaking and its gameplay doesn't excel in terms of depth, the game will in fact manage to guarantee a likable experience to any fan of the genre.

Considering its clear tendency to action, this DLC fails to build upon the game's strengths, highlighting instead its major faults. Real fans might not mind, but if you're not among them, you should consider keeping your money for something else.

Morkredd has a fascinating setting, an audio that helps to create dark atmospheres and an interesting use of lights and shadows, which almost represent a metaphor for life. Too bad that gameplay wise, Morkredd fails to shine due to a short duration and a low difficulty. The feeling is that it could have been done more, taking advantage of the promising premises.

Micro-characters for mini-adventures that maybe will appeal to a younger audience. Just don't pretend to call it Fable.

Earth Defence Force 2017 is a strange drug. You hate yourself while you are playing it, but you can't quit the game. It's boring and dull, but... fun and addictive at the same time. If you like B-Movies, this is your game.

JETT: The Far Shore is a space opera with a soundtrack so outstanding, an art compartment so beautiful, and a narrative premise so compelling that in the end it really hurts to find out that it's just an old-fashioned, “normal” video game. This team can and will create something a lot more compelling.

Marvel Heroes could be described as a total conversion of Diablo in Marvel’s style. The visuals are good, the story isn’t original and the gameplay is always the same. The main problem is that after a few hours you’ll be done with the main quest and you'll be are forced to do the same quests over and over again to reach the level cap. Unless you pay some money to make it faster.

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.

Considering that the game is sold in bundle with a Wiimote Plus, Wii Play Motion might catch the attention of all those who haven't yet had a chance to get the "new" controller, but if you're not among them the mini-games on offer will hardly arouse any of your interest.

Just another chapter of the long-lasting Koei series, with some poor new features exclusive to PlayStation Vita.

Beyond its addictive crafting system, Atelier Rorona doesn't unfortunately possess anything capable of arousing interest of those gamers who aren't familiar with these kind of jRPGs. However, if you define yourself as fan of the genre, you should definitely consider this purchase.

Not the usual great Platinum Games production, but if you’re a fan of the TV show or of action games you may find something interesting here.

Weapon Shop de OMASSE is like a funny sitcom dedicated to JRPGs with some basic gameplay elements... but too basic!

Despite all the the good premises, this last game from Tim Schafer proves to be a small project with short and repetitive gameplay.

SILT delivers a very captivating artistic design, recreating atmospheres so gloomy that generate a strong feeling of melancholy in the player. Unfortunately the limited gameplay and some uncertainties limit the final result.

A mediocre racing/action game with tactical elements and a couple of good ideas. Hard to master but with several game modes. Maybe next time, I-Friqiya!

The DioField Chronicle is a game of missed opportunities. A series of cliché gameplay, only improved by an enjoyable semi-real time combat system, that is both choreographic and engaging. The flat character depiction, and the forgettable story sadly come as added baggage to a promising title that could have been much more.

Despite all the the good premises, this last game from Tim Schafer proves to be a small project with short and repetitive gameplay.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a game that requires patience, attention and some trial and error to master its mechanics. It has its flaws and it's not well balanced, but at the end of the day it may provide some nice hours in the English countryside.

Any fan of the Star Wars brand will probably enjoy the 6 hours campaign, but if you're not among them you surely won't be able to ignore the game's technical flaws and inconsistent gameplay. Better luck next time, Jedi wannabes.

Despite the innovations of this edition, Farming Simulator 15 remains faithful to the formula of the saga, offering both a unique experience and denying, once again, any possibility of customization.

Another decent familiy tie-in from Activision, maybe not quite enjoyable as Kung-Fu Panda or Ice Age, but still entertaining for a childish audience. Best if played in co-op with 2-4 other people, the lack of an online mode is really a shame.

A rather plain RPG, not particularly bad nor good, that doesn't make the most of an interesting premise. Coming from Daedalic, it also surprisingly lacks visual appeal.

In a genre which provides some incredible experiences, Obscuritas doesn’t stand out on every level. The Vis Games’ has some interesting ideas but is an extremely average horror-adventure and is plagued by a frustrating save system which ruins several puzzles and parts of the game.

Any fan of the Star Wars brand will probably enjoy the 6 hours campaign, but if you're not among them you surely won't be able to ignore the game's technical flaws and inconsistent gameplay. Better luck next time, Jedi wannabes.

Easy for experts, too hard for newbies, Fossil Fighters Frontiers isn’t a bad game, it simply doesn’t have a specific audience that might appreciate it.

Another decent familiy tie-in from Activision, maybe not quite enjoyable as Kung-Fu Panda or Ice Age, but still entertaining for a childish audience. Best if played in co-op with 2-4 other people, the lack of an online mode is really a shame.

Some serious 3D eye candy and an interesting concept are spoiled by a pretty shallow gameplay in this Nintendo 3DS re-release.

The new game about Naruto is something completely different from the Ultimate Ninja’s series. The mix of traditional combat and MOBA mechanics is interesting, but technical problems can’t give the right start to this spinoff.

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.

Technical issues and shallow multiplayer waste the fascinating open world racer created by Ivory Tower.

Illfonic delivers another asymmetric multiplayer game based on a famous franchise with great but unexpressed potential, just like Predator: Hunting Ground and Friday The 13th: The Game. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed desperately needs new maps and modes to attract a bigger audience and be the game it was meant to be.

Bound by Flame is a low budget action RPG that doesn’t really shine. The plot varies depending on how you tackle it and the gameplay’s really challenging but there’s not much else to it.

Brink is a mine of good ideas ruined by some technical flaws and some bizarre design issues. If you're looking for a great teamplay FPS, Team Fortress 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 are still your first choice.

Sometimes bigger is not better. With over 180 different mechs, this game should be a dream for Mobile Suit's lovers, but its dull single player and widely perfectible multiplayer, keep it just above the average.

Nin2-Jump is an interesting experiment, with gorgeous graphics and a cool main character. Too bad that its level design and some weird choices from the devs made the entire experience a little nightmarish.

Undoubtedly, Ezio Auditore is a better assassin than his predecessor, but Discovery is just a pretty, short platform game. Nothing else.

The peculiar concept of Minit is refreshing for the first few runs, but the novelty wears off pretty quickly and we’re left with a super simplistic gameplay and a sometimes tedious experience. It’s a nice little experiment, but hardly one that’s worth its price tag.

Considering the quality/price ratio of some of the real masterpieces available on the App Store, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 will truly satisfy only real fans of the franchise, leaving the rest somewhat disappointed.

Not the best “Diabloesque” action-RPG out there. The Warhammer universe is still captivating but gameplay suffers from repetitive mission design and dull storyline.

Playing Wooden Sen’Sey, we see clearly good potential for a sequel but the developers will have to improve in different ways: physics, fighting system, overall policy of the control scheme and, please, do something for that background music.

Played in single-player, Kizuna Drive is an unconvincing chapter of the Shippuden series, with a bugged A.I. and a boring gameplay. Things are much better when this game is played in multiplayer.

Faery: Legends of Avalon is an original RPG, ruined by simplistic mechanics and a superficial gameplay. Some designing choices are pretty good, but game experience is too linear and slow, without any kind of challenge. Give it a chance only if you are really in love with the fantasy universe, but keep in mind that RPG market on PC has definitely much more to offer.

Salary Man Escape VR is a quite original and engaging, flawed by some annoying control issues.

An immediate and extremely usable concept, attractive graphics and an intriguing challenges (albeit sometimes a little too excessive) aren't enough to promote Neko's newborn, still immature in its gameplay in this Wii U edition.

Space Hulk is a faithful recreation of the ’89 board games. But the slow mechanics and lack of of variety can bore you really quick. Plus, the price is too high.

Surely this is not the final Syberia game we were hoping for.

ExerBeat is a game with nice ideas not well implemented. Graphics and musics are not convincing even for a Wii game, and the final result is acceptable though you should keep in mind that there are better alternatives around.

Alpha Protocol is a good game ruined by a long list of problems. The AI is clumsy, the graphics look too old for this gen and there are some bugs that indicate a product that is not so polished as one would expect after so many years in development. There are good ideas as the interactive dialogues and the character development, but the overall experience is not as good as we were expecting.

Sacred Citadel is a visually impressive but a very bland fighter, that brings few new ideas to the table in terms of design and gameplay. Only for hard-core nostalgics of the “golden age” of arcades.

A decent game that could have been much better with just a few vital improvements. Gearbox has wasted much of the enormous potential of the franchise, and as a result the game is enjoyable almost exclusively in the multiplayer modes and not more than a single play-through of the Campaign.

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. Two out three new maps don't show the best level design around and one is a remake from the first Black Ops. 1200 MPs is too much for a single, very good, multiplayer map and for a great new zombie experience.

The Munchables is a lovely game with a few problems. Ideal for casual gamers and for everyone looking for an easy videogame. Too short and simple, but with a cool style and an extraordinary spirit. May the poo be with you!
