Asura's Wrath is an interesting experiment with huge balancing issues. This cool anime-style action game is too story-oriented, with tons of animated sections and just a little bit of gameplay. This could be a good starting point for CyberConnect2's future projects, but next time the developers should aim for a more balanced experience.

Monster Rancher 1&2 DX is a controversial operation. On the one hand, it has the merit of expatriating a franchise with its own history with more decision, although the weight of time is inexorably felt on the life-simulator jrpg offer of the first two chapters of the franchise.

With The Jackal and The Khan, FireFly ends the contents offered by Stronghold Crusader 2. From an holistic point of view, the DLC increases the longevity of the game, but if taken individually doesn’t introduce any innovation.

The PC version of Dawnguard is only slightly better than the console one, and deserves the attention of Elder Scroll's most rabid fans: if with Skyrim you had enough of bugs and glitches, then it's better to consider this DLC after the patch that Bethesda will provide to all PC players. Hopefully, sooner than later.

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.

Lost Planet 3 has lost the appeal of the original chapter and fails to compete with other TPSs such as Gears of War and Dead Space. The Campaign is boring and it lacks interesting elements.

While aesthetically charming and quite entertaining to play, there’s not enough content to declare Valhalla Hills a success. This, paired with a questionable price point, makes it an experience to embrace just if you’re a big Settlers fan. Otherwise wait for the unavoidable price drop.

MXGP Pro provides a good Motocross experience, but it suffers some sort of content ‘stalement’ and it’s the less technically polished Milestone title to be released this year.

Not one of the best chapter in the long-lasting Traveller's Tales' series. The Incredibles features an irresistible cast and some clever sections, but also a messy + too-easy gameplay.

Vampyr for Nintendo Switch, ported by Saber Interactive, faces obvious technical limits, which make it an experience not always easy to enjoy.Doubts also remain about the portable nature of a title of this kind,slow and extremely narrative to its core. However, it remains a good addition to the Switch library, although it is the worst version.

A non-sense indie arcade game that recalls Katamari Damacy's gameplay style but falls too short to be remembered.

Looking like a game from the old generation and being too similar to Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Heroes doesn't renovate a genre that needs reinvention.

A meeting point between Hitman and Hotline Miami, Party Hard offers an experience that's not very fun and interesting due to an excessively repetitive level design.

Verdun is an interesting shooter that depicts the mechanics of trench war, but is better to wait for developers to polish the game before lining up for a suicide attack.

An original and promising experience, spoiled by a frustrating dual-screen gameplay mechanic and an irritating difficulty level.

An imperfect tribute to classical JRPGS from a European team. An enjoyable experience if you're an hardcore fan of the genre.

Quotation forthcoming.

Dr. Luigi for the series is more a step backward than a leap forward. No four players modes, two game modes too simple and some issues in the online connectivity, are not a good business card for a game that asks 15 euros to be bought. Not the right prescription for Wii U's illness.

The last game from Deadly Premonition's developers is a non-game based on the story instead of interactivity. Be warned!

1-2-Switch has some unique gameplay gems and many disappointing challenges. Quite entertaining but it should have been a bundle title.

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.

How To Survive isn’t the best arcade released this year, but overall it’s a decent survival/adventure for those who love top-down shooter and zombies.

LEGO Indiana Jones 2 is not a bad game: what worked yesterday is still working today, yet the formula is starting to be a little abused and tiring. The Indy theme paired with the iconic colored blocks might still win some hearts, but for the future significant innovations are really needed.

Days of war is a rather conventional first-person shooter, focused on online multiplayer. Its old-fashioned aesthetic, a tried and tested formula and the limited contents prevent it to shine in the genre,despite an enjoyable gunplay.

Enter the Dominatrix is a DLC for Saints Row IV that we can recommend only to diehard fans of the series: so focused onto silly dialogues and situations to the point of overlook almost completely the quality of the gameplay.

King of Seas is an average production, at times interesting, but that on the whole fails to involve players. Game dynamics soon become repetitive, the narrative struggles to take off and the artistic side could have been better. A real pity, since pirate games are never enough and the project was quite intriguing.

Lord of Arcana is a Monster Hunter like action game. The Capcom franchise, anyway, looks much better than this Square Enix experiment. Lord of Arcana is graphically flat, and the lack of a wi-fi multiplayer is a huge problem for this kind of title.

Shadowrun Chronicles Boston Lockdown is an online tactical RPG marred with quite many issues. Still its gameplay idea is solid and the multiplayer mode could be quite a joyous experience. Given enough time to devs to solve its issues it could reach unexpected heights.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy on Nintendo Switch is a lazy and disappointing porting of a great collection.

Gorgeous visuals and a great soundtrack are strong weapons in this one, but everything else is below expectations.

Crimson Dragon is a good game. Funny, sometimes engaging, but it isn't Panzer Dragoon and although sometimes it really gets close, it fails to reach the heights of its predecessor.

Orwell's Animal Farm could have been something really special, but plays like a flat interactive fiction that will (maybe) please those who have loved the original novella.

Quotation forthcoming.

TV Superstars is a funny collection of minigames, with a good multiplayer but some control issues.

Another Dynasty Warriors title that will probably appeal only the ultimate fans of the series. For everybody else, there's so much to choose from on the shelf these days.

Beware Planet Earth is a simple clone of tower defense that tries to mix some of the gameplay elements of Plants vs. Zombies with the setting of Burton’s Mars Attacks! The idea is fine but the war between cows and aliens isn't as fun as the one between vegetables and the undead.

Quotation forthcoming.

Circus Electrique is like a juggling show not perfectly balanced. The narrative idea works fine and the Tactical RPG/Management mechanics are all in the right places but some gameplay elements slow down the pace and the entertainment factor.

Windward carries the player to a 17th century ship command through competitive battles, where key to the victory is extreme grinding.

Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth is a "Kinect addicted" game. The good use of the vocal commands is pretty interesting and could be really hilarious with few friends gathered into the same room. Pity for the short length and the too-easy difficulty level.

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is a party game featuring a rich cast of 40 characters from the worlds of Super Mario and Sonic, who battle themselves through the Olympic events. Unfortunately, a set group of characters is limited to certain events, the story mode is short, flat and somewhat uninteresting.

With Just Dance 4 on Wii U Ubisoft is still applying the "more of the same" rule. The game is pretty much the same played on PS3, 360 and Wii, with just three bonus tracks and small differences here and there.

Testo: There's no way you can escape his fury. This is the ultimate goat simulation game, but also the only goat simulation game.

Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters is an interesting experiment. The episodic structure is really nice, and the artworks are simply awesome. The lack of a good story, the abuse of anime stereotypes, and an odd combat system are the most important issues of this game. Still, this is a good way to start playing visual novels, for novices.

There Came an Echo is a simplified tactical game with the best voice recognition software ever included in a videogame. Unfortunately the simplification seems too heavy and the voice gimmick is both not perfect and not that entertaining on his own.

Another crazy circus of characters by Goichi Suda, but this time even the beam katana of Travis Touchdown can't save No More Heroes III from falling down to the bottom of the chart.

Far from being a revolutionary horror game, Home Sweet Home delivers some genuine and folkloristic jump scares. Too bad it doesn't have a true ending... how long we should wait for the second (and hopefully last) episode?

The Shore is a first person story driven game with a beautiful atmospheric environment. Unfortunately its gameplay and narrations have many gaps.

Railway Empire is a fine and intriguing strategic game about the onset of the railway business in America. The Switch version is not the ideal way to play it as the interface is marred by some very bad decisions.

Field of Glory is nothing more than an electronic board game. All is pretty tasteless but also very functional. Some flaws in the AI make the game more enjoyable in multiplayer rather than in single player.

Edge of Time is just a washed-our version of the previous game, Shattered Dimensions. If Beenox wants to strike back with the next Amazing Spider-Man, it must change something.

A voyage into the past, Carrier Commando Gaea Mission presents a great, original idea in a fresh gameplay. Pity that this effort is ruined by a very poor AI.

Quotation forthcoming.

A roguelike dungeon-crawler RPG with some good gameplay mechanics, a boring story and frustrating difficulty level.

The return of Kao the Kangaroo offers a decently enjoyable action-platform experience with nostalgic graphics and soundtrack, unfortunately flawed by several bugs, glitches and a difficulty level too low for experienced platformers.

Quotation forthcoming.

A very original idea but a poor gameplay at the end. Exploring a real city with the goal of discovering virtual goodies is pretty strange but is the only thing the game will ask you to do. The music editor works but is only a small plus for a game that is a missed chance to create something different.

Trivial Pursuit Live! 2 brings the classic board game to current and last-gen platforms trying to adapt it to digital universe through online gaming, achievements, character customization and Twitch integration. Despite some of these features are cool, the game falls short in offering only 4 local players support; most of all, it lacks of the Italian localization. If these omissions are not an issue, you could have loads of fun with your family or friends and followers online.

The survival of Fade to Silence is certainly good, credible and well structured. Severe for the most hurried players but at the same time will reward strategists. Unfortunately it lacks all that undergrowth of contents that give soul and "color" to a video game, like a real campaign, fiction, secondary activities, not to mention decidedly mediocre graphics and combat system.

Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a decent puzzle game that executes neatly an original, but somewhat very limited in ambition, plan. If you love the series you can give it a try, else, wait for a discount.

Virtual Rick-ality can be recommended almost exclusively to fans of the original series, since those who have never approached it or are looking for a more adventurous experience, will not struggle to find better alternatives in the now rather large fleet of titles for PlayStation VR .

Another Code is an average game that is a textual adventure more than a point and click one, interesting for some rest among rebus and stuff. Some good ideas too but we'll expect something new with the next chapter because Cing can do better than this.

A post-apocalyptic-zombie-virus survival game with some original and clever gameplay mechanics, unfortunately not fully developed. Needs some technical polish to become a little gem.

It's colorful mini-games and fascinating visuals will surely satisfy youngsters, but if you're not among them you should consider looking elsewhere.

Long time fans of the series will feel at home with Rune Factory 5. It’s a well developed farming sim with lot of things to do and some well crafted jrpg elements. An intriguing story will let you meet some interesting characters, and even marry one of them. The problem is that the game is marred by some nasty technical issues that in some sens ruin overall experience. Low frame-rates, hitches, lags and stuttering are very frequent and some textures are rendered at very low quality. If you love these kind of games maybe you can overlook these issues, but we feel the game lacks the polish we saw in the previous entries of the series.

Another fitness-training title for Xbox 360 that won't give you the right reasons to use (again) your Kinect device.

Quotation forthcoming.

Supercar Challenge is, in the end, a product that barely gets to the sufficiency. Would have it been proposed as an add-on, everything would be different, but it's not acceptable to propose for the second time the old Ferrari Challenge with a handful of extra options.

Despite excellent graphics, Wild Blood suffers from a repetitive, uninspired and superficial gameplay. Unreal Engine and a funny plot aren't enough.

Assassin's Creed III: Liberation was a good game for PlayStation Vita. The developers did a great job adapting the original gameplay to the portable nature of the Sony's console. If played on a TV, the game loses its original virtues, turning it into a boring experience.

Not a deep RTS game but a little bit more complex than a casual game, Naval War is an average title. It can be funny, but out there there is for sure something better.

The game offers an amazing graphic and a pretty good storyline, but the shooting controls are seriously too frustrating to entertain the players until the end titles.

Devil May Cry HD Collection is a straight porting of the collection released in 2012 on PS3 and Xbox 360. Textures and assets are pretty much the same and there is no brand new content added to this new release. This game is a lazy remaster that delivers 1080p resolution and a 60fps rock solid gameplay, but nothing more. It represents a missed opportunity by Capcom, bearing in mind the impressive remasters we are seeing these days.

Though being visually marvellous, Islands of Wakfu fails to engage and entertain as we hoped. The clunky gameplay mechanics and its slow paced progression will in fact bore most gamers long before the adventure reaches its narrative climax.

Is the Stimulus Pack worth 1200 Microsoft Points? It depends. The new maps are nice enough, and offer good gameplay solutions (in particular Storm), but the price is way too much for this DLC. The return of two Modern Warfare classics is nice, but after hours and hours of play with the original game, the idea of having fun with them again is not so nice. If you're a Modern Warfare 2 supporter, probably you'll buy this DLC anyway. Else, be careful: it's not such a big deal.

A pretty decent sequel for the award-winning Lume, with brilliant puzzles design, great atmosphere but a poor soundtrack.

An average shooter that stays far from the target that the team tried to achieve at the beginning of the project. High Voltage can do better and probably will do with a different budget working on a sequel. We hope so.

Quotation forthcoming.

An hallucinating trip between life and death, reality and the darkest reaches of mind. Similar to Myst or Riven, Datura puts the player in a strange silent world where the only way to escape is interacting and learning with the environment. With only two hours of gameplay, control issues and some rude mechanics, this game is what we call a missed opportunity.

Can Honest Hearts be considered a must buy? For the survivors of the Mojave desert, drinking Sarsaparilla and eating radioactive scorpions, probably it is. For those who ended New Vegas without feeling the need to replay the various plots and side quests, it definitely isn't.

Warplanes: WW2 Dogfight offers a fun experience, enriched by a deep management system. Considering the good and responsive mechanics, the little variety of missions seems like a lost opportunity.

Cute visuals, funny gameplay and pretty good Kinect controls, for a mini-games compilation unfortunately too short and repetitive to appeal a broader audience.

.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.

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.

We cannot say that Birthdays is one of the best God-game available. The ground modeling represents basically the whole gameplay. For the rest of the time you will stand still, waiting for the life to blossom.

WWE 2K15 gains a good graphical improvement cutting many interesting modes from the previous chapters of the franchise. The slow gameplay, long loading times and unresponsive controls are big issues which ruin a potentially good gameplay.

China Rising is a competent DLC for Battlefield 4, but we were expecting more from DICE than a normal compilation of four scenarios that we could have played in Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2. No Levolution, no party!

FX Futbal 2.0 (FX Calcio 2.0 in Italy) is a great improvement for the brand, but it's still not perfect. It's game engine is too raw to sustain a deep football manager experience. Nonetheless casual gamers could love the game for its brilliant design and its fluid gameplay.

Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories shows its side to undeniable technical criticisms, caused by a bad optimization and a game structure that would have been dusty fifteen years ago. However, it remains a cult game, made with heart and with a great concept behind it.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Castle Doctrine falls in its own peculiar category. It can be astonishingly punishing and difficult to get a grip at, but if competition and mental challenge are your cup of tea, you will be able to reap great rewards from it.
