Considering its overall lack of polish and gameplay depth, War in the North proves to be a mediocre hack 'n' slash that will only appeal to real fans of the brand.

The Redemption is quite disappointing. The final part of this trilogy has the worst spiritual power of the whole group and a flat, easy and boring final boss. The Tyranny pack is still a good product, but just for the Assassin's Creed hardcore fans.

Despite the expectations, Destiny's first DLC not only doesn't solve the flaws of the game, but makes them more evident. The lack of contents is evident and the story still remains unclear. It will be hard to find something to do for the next three months, when next DLC should arrive.

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.

As an HD lifting is not enough to hide the passage of time, the craziness of Metal Wolf Chaos XD is not enough to hide its poor gameplay.

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.

ReCore is a basic TPS with a bit of exploration, ruined by its lack of courage and by few technical issues. The adventure is quite boring, but the platforming sections and the combat system could still appeal a number of players.

Even with some small problems, Lemmings Touch is another fun and addictive chapter of the series, with some interesting functions for Vita’s touch screen. If you’re a Lemmings fan, don’t miss it.

The Suicide of Rachel Foster is a good thriller, which deals with strong and difficult themes. Due to the good writing and successful atmosphere, we recommend giving it a chance.

Alternativa is a sci-fi adventure that recreates a credible alternative future. Unfortunately many of its ideas are not properly developed and the final result is not as good as could have been.

When your goal is to make a good multiplayer online game, a balanced gameplay and an optimized netcode are the most important things to keep in mind. Blacklight: Tango Down tries to create a "CoD like" experience at a reasonable price, but seems to forget merely about both of them. And after a 3 months delay, this is really a blow below the belt.

Konami's first anniversary collection is a lazy compilation mainly directed to old-school-shooter lovers.

A light-hearted Zero-G arena shooter which delivers a simple and entertaining VR experience. Too bad for the lack of PS Move support.

What Square Enix has put together is a great karting game, with some good gameplay ideas that also try to detach the product from its very clear and inevitable source of inspiration. However, the mixture lacks some balance, especially in the balance between effort and reward.

Considering its poorly paced adventure, Lonesome Road will only appeal to real fans of the series that will surely appreciate its narrative. If you're not among them, look elsewhere.

Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow is unfortunately another mediocre game for a franchise that doesn'’t seem to be able to live up to its expectations. The lack of a decent AI, the forgettable narrative, and the confusing gameplay, will result in a poor overall experience for both fans and newcomers to the series.

Fun Bits has developed a funny but too-simplistic hack and slash with a touch of RPG elements. The fun for some hours is assured but the whole experience seems a little too short and meagre.

Quotation forthcoming.

Secret of Mana was an outstanding jRPG back in 1993 and this remake is a true love letter to fans. Unfortunately, besides upgraded graphics, a couple of cut-scenes and a brand new local co-op multiplayer, this new release does not add anything really worth to the core experience, and all the weakness of the original title are still there and sometimes they feel even worse.

The Flower Collectors is definitely an excellent homage to Rear Window and the great Alfred Hitchcock. Nevertheless the interesting historical and visual aspects can't compensate a basic gameplay and the lack of a plot twist able to shake several cliches up.

Quotation forthcoming.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is a step backward for both MercurySteam and Konami. The previous game was a nice reboot, but with this second chapter the developers have ruined a good gameplay with poor stealth segments, a boring set of modern stages and bad designed boss fights (Pan's brother!). The nice combat along with a good enhancing system are still enough to let the game reach a 70/100 score.

Sonic Lost World is a great platform game. SEGA did a great job creating a brilliant level design and mashing up the best elements from Colors and Generations. This is a solid Wii U exclusive which, along with Rayman Legends, can easily sell the Nintendo console to platformers lovers.

Although the adventure offers an interesting prologue and some memorable moments, at least for horror lovers, the game is ruined by a reduced longevity, by the poverty of the gameplay and by the repetition of always identical mechanics.

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

Quotation forthcoming.

The Order 1886 is an incomplete masterpiece, a splendid introduction to a new world. And, despite its limits, an experience to live.

Kona is a game made by canadians for canadians. Only them could really fall in love with the wintry and snowy atmosphere of a quiet North American village and its local folklore.

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.

Wheels of Aurelia is an interesting experiment where the gameplay is not the core of the experience. The nice graphics, the soundtrack and the storytelling makes the latest game from Santa Ragione a compelling journey into the Italian history of the late Seventies.

Puzzle Agent 2 is a little step forward in comparison to the pilot episode with a more involving story, better puzzles and a general good atmosphere; only too casual and too short.

A good and solid follow-up, Rearmed 2 adds the "new" ability of jumping and refreshes the swing mechanics of the original remake, but fails in the co-op mode and in other, little but annoying chunks of gameplay.

Despite great visuals and an artistic direction I've personally enjoyed, the game reveals a poor single player campaign and an entertaining multiplayer that, unfortunately, won't probably last more than a week. With more attention to details, this game could have aimed to better results. At the moment is just one of the many 3rd person shooters where you have to cover and fire at the extinguishers.

Because of a substantial lack of innovation, Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team proves to be just another shallow iteration of a brand that seems to have completely lost the right track. If you're looking for a decent beat 'em up to add to your PSP collection, look elsewhere.

Phineas and Ferb is a game perfect for kids, but not perfect in every other way.

Empire of Sin offers strategical depth, managerial challenge and, only occasionally, tactical fun. Lack of boldness in the tactical department, some technical glitches and an amateurish interface, keep this title from becoming a true classic.

Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy Plus is not a brand new game, but it tries its best adding more fun to the original title, working on the New Nintendo 3DS extra features. The Amiibo addiction is pretty useless, but the new dynamic 3D grants a new layer to this good experience.

The Occupation is definitely flawed (especially on the technical end) but on the other hand is a smart and peculiar little immersive sim with an intricate and thematically delicate plot and a lot of interesting ideas and mechanics.

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.

Skyhill is the umpteenth post-apocalyptic survival with a horror tone that lands on Steam. This time we’ll try to escape from an hotel infested with beasts mutated by a terrible weapon of mass destruction and it will not be fun.

Dark Energy has proven that determination and commitment do actually pay off. Hydrophobia Prophecy is in fact a great game that deserves attention from both newcomers to the brand and gamers that might have already played the older versions of the game.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

The King of Fighters XII deserves to be in stores, specially if you are fan of the series. The only hope for the future is a good number of patch and DLC (with new characters and arenas), to improve the game to reach at least an average level of quality.

Vita Pets is an easy, pretty good game for children (and parents), and even though it's not perfect, it delivers hours and hours of play.

Life is Feudal is an extremely grinding-focused survival experience in which you will get as much fun as effort you will put in. Also, the quality of the experience will be proportional to the quality (and quantity) of the people you will play with. This is a complete social experience; no place for loners.

Call of Cthulhu is a game with so many flaws but nevertheless it's a really different kind of RPG, a unique kind of game in which the player really feels like the main character of a compelling lovecraftian tale. If you are an avid fan of the author from Providence this is easily an 8/10 and a must have.

More a hack 'n slash than an RPG, Arcania: Gothic 4 is a game with good graphics and some flaws on the narrative side. The lack of complexity and substance are the primary faults of this title, which is probably not the worst chapter of the saga, but surely not the best.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Wii version of Michael Jackson: the Experience is much better than the Xbox 360 one. The lag of the Kinect, the presence of the player's avatar on the screen and the poor implementation of the karaoke feature are enough to transform a great experience in something less entertaining.

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.

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

Another quite amusing version of a great classic... if you have friends to invite on your couch. The online features unfortunately are too limited for a “live” game.

A distopyan steampunk, challenging mini-golf game, with a few technical problems caused by visuals and controls.

Pop-Up Pilgrim is a discreet puzzle-game that picks up many mechanics that came from Lemmings. Published exclusively for PlayStation VR, it would work much better on mobile, considering that it makes a questionable use of virtual reality.

The final product fails to do justice to the many good ideas on which Illusion: A Tale of the Mind rests. And there is nothing worse than to feel curiosity about the plot of a game that, alas, bores us. The five hours we took to complete the adventure seemed much longer to us.

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

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.

Enjoyable, solid gameplay, smooth controls and lots of content and customization options. Too bad for it's problems with touch features and the lack of multiplayer online.

Legend of the Guardians is a quite good licensed game with some enjoyable ideas. Fans of the books will be pleased with this (very short) tie-in. All the others… well, maybe not.

Considering the limited budget and labor force, Daymare 1998 is beyond doubt an incredible job carried out by an Italian team as passionate as it is talented. One wonders, though, if a similar project could shine its own light or is destined to remain a satellite of Capcom's famous horror saga, given how the very heavy all-round inspiration is often accompanied by a mediocre polishing and balancing of the gameplay.

Quotation forthcoming.

Warface, the first experience of Crytek in the free-to-play field, is a very nice competitive online FPS, with a lot of well-known game modes and fast gameplay. The visuals are pure Crytek quality, and even if it’s not an original game, it surely deserves a deep look.

Quotation forthcoming.

A party game clearly aimed at younger audience. Those looking for a fresh and light multiplayer experience will found what they're looking for, while single players must be warned: better wait for something more juicy.

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.

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.

Puzzle Chronicles is undoubtedly a well crafted puzzle/RPG, capable of engaging both fans of the genre as well as any newcomers to the series, but despite it's undeniable qualities, the low difficulty level might fail to offer a real lasting challenge.

SuperStars V8 is a total shame, under any point of view: a copy/paste of SBK, without the important license, with typical problems of the other game and a couple more brand new, strictly connected to gameplay. With Forza 3, Shift, Gran Turismo and DiRT 2 on the way of the release and a huge offer among recent releases and old masterpieces (Burnout, Project Gotham 3, Forza 2, RACE Pro…) the question is easy: why, V8? It's up to you to find an answer.

Skydive: Proximity Flight is a nice but simple game. Gaijin Entertainment has provided stunning visuals and precise and flexible controls to this wingsuit simulator. Unfortunately, the lack of variety and game modes can make your attention drop very quickly.

With this porting from the PS3 and the Xbox 360, something has gone terribly wrong. Not only the Wii U hardware hasn’t been used in the right way, but in six months nothing interesting has been added to the game by the developers. I you only own a Wii U, and you’ve never played LEGO City Undercover, only than you could give this a try.

Pixelated Milk releases Warsaw, an RPG that shows the cruelty of the Second World War and the courage of the Polish rebellion. A quite repetitive gameplay and a flat storytelling don't help the game to get a better score.

Need for Speed World is able to retrieve the old look and feel of the series, moving it into an online world. Maybe it's too easy/arcade, but is very effective and adrenalinic.

Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a PvPvE multiplayer game that is based on a potentially interesting idea but which, unfortunately, suffers from a superficial technical realization and obvious balance problems.

Destruction All Stars is a game with fun gameplay and a pleasant technical showcase. The amount of content, unfortunately, is not enough to keep players' interest high in the long run. An articulated plan of updates and contents will be needed for the future.

Silent Hunter 5 is a broken, bug infested game, a potentially great experience ruined by the bad job of the programmers. The lack of a tutorial for beginners and the bad optimization under the technical side, are big problems for new players and for the veterans of Silent Hunter.

Necromunda: Hired Gun fails to exploit the full potential of the fascinating universe of Warhammer 40K. It’s a fun action game that is heavily inspired by Doom Eternal but lacks attention to detail and there are several problems in its gameplay structure.

Despite great visuals and an artistic direction I've personally enjoyed, the game reveals a poor single player campaign and an entertaining multiplayer that, unfortunately, won't probably last more than a week. With more attention to details, this game could have aimed to better results. At the moment is just one of the many 3rd person shooters where you have to cover and fire at the extinguishers.

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is a new entry in Sonic’s franchise for Nintendo 3DS. The gameplay is fast and fun: there are plenty of stage types and many characters to choose, each with his unique skills. But the game seems way too easy, with too much advice and unlimited lives. It’s a good game overall, but not the right one to celebrate Sonic’s 25th anniversary.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz HD is a remastered version for current-gen consoles of the 2006 Wii classic game. This new version adds games modes, online leaderboards for speedrunners and tunes the control for each platform. The PS4 version abandons motion controls, a good move for the main game but a bad move for the minigames. At least, we now have Sonic the Hedgehog as a playable character.

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.

Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time is a brillant mix of ideas: the player is forced to use his brain to resolve every level and this is the best news. Some little inconvenients in its interface but nothing of important.

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.

V1 Interactive's debut work is a successful hybrid between FPS and RTS with an intriguing plot and a good artistic direction.

Wavey The Rocket is a new 3D side-scrolling arcade game based on a little fast rocket riding on a side curve. Despite its original gameplay, this game is not suitable for all players.

Conan Unconqured is a survival RTS Tower defense set in the world of Conan the Barbarian. This spin-off certainly tries to appeal RTS lovers, but despite some smart and original ideas, the game lacks depth and becomes boring after a few hours, also due to the absence of competitive multiplayer both offline and online. Co-op multiplayer is good but definitely not enough to keep the game standing among giants of the RTS genre.

A good and solid follow-up, Rearmed 2 adds the "new" ability of jumping and refreshes the swing mechanics of the original remake, but fails in the co-op mode and in other, little but annoying chunks of gameplay.

Legend of Kay Anniversary is an old games in every aspects but it’s still an interesting games for someone who is looking for an old school action-platform. The good quality of the combat-system and the platforming obviate the problem of the camera and the banality of the plot.

Outward is an open world RPG with survival elements characterized by an excellent depth and peculiar elements that make the experience precious, despite a poor technical level.

Namco plays with our feelings again with another (expensive) double serving of its Good Gold Days games. Feel old yet? You will!

The Phoenix Edition brings some balance to the troubled The Tomorrow Children. Now you can play offline in the new single-player mode and have a little bit of help during the hard work... but after six years most of the structural issues of the original game are still there!

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.

Looking for an enjoyable TPS with lots of action and hordes of (zombie) enemies to kill? Look no further, as Zombie Army Trilogy is the perfect game for a quick and careless session of blasting everything that moves. Unfortunately, though, there’s not much more than that.
