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.

The Walking Dead Michonne isn’t a bad game, but it’s too similar to the other titles of the series. We need new narrative solutions, a new game engine and a smarter storytelling to bring again The Walking Dead on the top of the videogames market.

This DLC is a little too small, compared to other additional contents from Rockstar. Forget the huge DLC for GTA: this time we have few maps, few characters from the previous Red Dead and one single new weapon. It's not enough for a 10 Euro purchase, unless you are addicted to the multiplayer of RDR.

The Church in the Darkness is a nice narrative idea wrapped in a terribly shoddy gameplay that you will experience, in its entirety, in around 15 minutes. Come for the story, get away,fast, because of the gameplay.

Thieves Guild introduces new gameplay features, related to missions where the goal is to steal objects, which unfortunately do not work properly. New weapons, quests, NPC and dungeons, however, will be enough to make the fans happy.

Maid of Sker is an atmospheric horror game with interesting ideas and story, but falls apart relatively quickly due to some poor design choices.

Moon Diver is one of those old-school action games that Castlevania and Strider fans will recognize at first sight. Unfortunately it offers a very difficult "solo" gameplay and a confusing multiplayer experience.

On paper the idea of blend together Dark Souls and ICO seems extremely interesting but the first game of RuneHeads falls flat in too many elements and a potential gem reveals itself only as a decent souls-like.

Bizarre's first attempt in the Bond series is not a bad game, with solid shooter mechanics and good driving sections. Unfortunately, Blood Stone is too short to offer a decent value.

Crackdown 3 doesn't have bad ideas, some are interesting and at least for the single player, it works. The real problem is that it is not enough: the gameplay may be fun, but the production as a whole is already dated, and too short in duration.

Not particularly flawed, The Devil’s Cartel is just an unimaginative TPS without any exceptionally good features.

A light-hearted adventure with classical JRPG gameplay features. Perfect for Cartoon Network series' fans, entertaining but WAY too easy for seasoned players.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

FPS junkies and lovers of multiplayer tactical shooters could give Medal of Honor Warfighter a chance. But they should not forget that Black Ops 2 is going to give a reality check to the EA franchise.

Youtubers Life: OMG Edition is a game that gives its best on the Nintendo Switch, but is ruined by a botched port, with frequent framerate drops, input lag, inefficient command bindings and too much bugs and crashes for a product released three years ago.

NBA 2K22 improves several gameplay mechanics like on ball defense, shot contest, dunks and block, alongside AI defense. Despite these improvements, there are still several historic technical issues, server problems on MyTeam, huge loading times, and there is the sense that all of the game modes push users to buy VCs to be competitive.

Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet is a crazy Japanese mash-up between a fighting game and a bullet hell shooter. Its gameplay mechanics are pretty good, but the lack of a good color code for letting player recognize which bullets are good and which will hurt him when the screen is loaded with any kind of stuff, may hurt the 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.

Quotation forthcoming.

Werewolf is an action RPG that entertains with a nice combat system, but it has too many gaps that are impossible to ignore.

Ode is half emotional experience and half a puzzle platform. Unfortunately, none of the parts is memorable enough and the game is unable to give to the player an unforgettable experience.

Astria Ascending reshapes the assets of Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey and its fascinating art style. It revitalizes its world with a new storyline, written by Kazushige Nojima. What we have is a fun but extremely classic fantasy JRPG, which adds nothing to the genre and with obvious imperfections.

The Tomorrow Children is something that might be called a concept game, a very interesting idea which is hardly transposed in a videogame. It seems like an experiment of collaborative gameplay, an experience that everyone must try in order to try to understand it.

Dark Void is a good action game with some nice idea, but nothing more. It takes too much time to become really the interesting, graphics are average and the AI has got some problems.

Even with this porting for PS Vita, Epic Mickey 2 fails to improve the previous versions. It remains a good game for the children, and at its price is a good deal also for those who loves Disney’s characters.

A shabby action game with some good RPG elements. The Switch version has the “on-the-go game” feature as little plus.

Chamber of Time is the perfect tie-in for those who love the original Trigger animated series. If you're not one of them... move on.

Shredders is a love letter to snowboarding, full of desire to entertain... but fails to excite because of some balancing issues and lack of content.

Old-school run 'n' gun games are still enjoyable but Turrican's fan must be warned that this compilation is not the best you they can get nowadays.

Not the properly polished F1 game we've been waiting from Codemasters for a long, long time.

Broken Rules did an interesting job with Chasing Aurora, recreating a delicate Journey-like universe with simple gameplay mechanics. But apart from an excellent artistic direction, control schema is complicated and not reactive, and multiplayer balance isn't so poised.

Warhammer Quest is an old school boardgame-tablet-port RPG that fails to enhance itself for a platform that requires a bit more both in terms of gameplay and aesthetics. If a light RPG adventure is what you are after then Warhammer Quest is a sure bet, but if you're looking for something on par with what the PC market offers nowadays then definitely look elsewhere.

While everyone was expecting a revolution in the action-RPG genre, Biomutant proves to be just a derivative open-world experience with a pretty decent combat/crafting system and a weak mission design.

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

The survivors of the '80s with a lust for vertical scrolling shooters and a friend available could enjoy some afternoons of moderate fun. Everybody else should think twice before put the credit's card wheels in motion because there is really nothing new under the sun for this genre.

LEGO Jurassic World arrives on Nintendo Switch with nothing more than a bunch of useless DLCs and a brand new non-budget price.

The Sinking City is a Lovecraftian game with an excellent narrative but with too ambitious mechanics.

Gameloft’s Iron Man 3 is not too bad, but it’s not the kind of game you will remember for ages. Considering such a powerful Hollywood franchise, creating an endless runner instead of a sandbox could be seen like a big waste. Especially when you find out that there are many endless runners better than this.

Quotation forthcoming.

Essays on Empathy is a beautiful compilation of 10 short narrative games which, unfortunately, needed a lot of corrections before being released.

No Straight Roads is a visually charming rhythm-action game that slips on its (sometimes) confusing gameplay ideas and lands on the slightly-above-average level.

Good graphics are not enough. Infiltrator embraces the TPS gameplay letting down every RPG influence and offering an experience lacking every reference with the original series. It's better than Galaxy, but much more could have been done.

Super Lucky's Tale has no special talents that will be remembered for a long time. Certainly, it was also an inexpensive marketing choice to get out of the game so short of Super Mario Odyssey, which is a title with which to inevitably make a direct confrontation, and between the two platforms, Super Lucky's Tale comes out beaten.

Alien Rage: Unlimited is an old style first person shooter with astounding graphics and a frantic gameplay. Unfortunately the game is spoiled by a bad AI and an evident lacks of personality.

Pokémon Unite is a rather fun free-to-play MOBA that, however, suffers from significant balance problems and an overly aggressive business model.

Pathologic 2 is an exceptional and very bad game in equal parts, a title that for modern judgment can be considered only a mediocre game but, despite its numerous problems, deserves at least one chance to show what it can offer.

Let's get it straight: 99% of the the people who will buy this product won't play it more than twice in the whole PS3 life cycle. To play your favorite mp3s you'll keep on using every other traditional player, and because of the Trophies you'll probably get to see everything .detuned has to offer during your first non-gaming session. This doesn't mean that .detuned is not worthy: some people will surely be deeply fascinated by .theprodukkt's creation to the point of never forgetting it. If you fancy strange and obscure stuff a la David Lynch, don't hesitate: buy this is a weird experiment (along with the more impressive and artsy Linger in Shadows).

Hidden Agenda is definitely a first, interesting step towards the consecration of Playlink. The work done by the creators of Until Dawn is certainly interesting at the conceptual level, even though they have not reached high peaks. The road is still long.

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.

White Night is a collection of already explored mechanics dressed in a peculiar, elegant and often uncomfortable suit. Very stylish, but too dull and punishing when it comes to actual gameplay.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is an awesome looking game, with few major issues. The control system is great for an handheld console, but playing at home a gamer is supposed to be interested in watching the TV panel, instead of the tiny GamePad screen. The linear level design and the lack of variety, ruin this colorful experience.

Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe was an interesting mini-game packed into a good collection such as Kirby: Triple Deluxe, but it’s too short and too weak to live as a stand alone digital game.

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

Funny and light-hearted, Fire is a beautiful point and click adventure game with some interesting ideas and some inspired puzzles. Nevertheless the game is too short and easy to be compelling for the veterans of the genre.

Tour de France 2018 is the official Grand Boucle game. The title is a complex tactical simulation of cycling, with two management mode: Pro Team e Pro Leader. Unfortunately the graphic detail is poor and there isn't any interesting online mode.

Quotation forthcoming.

Boxboy! is not one of the little gems the Nintendo online store sometimes publishes but just a nice concept, well packed, that does not achieve greatness.

A mysterious and fascinating exploration VR adventure spoiled by bad design choices and poor motion-tracking system.

Continue?9876543210 doesn't exist to entertain us, but to expose the author's conscience and invite us to a journey through his vision. As a work of art, some will probably love it; just don't expect to find too much of a “game” in it.

The good variety of bikes does not compensate for the poor driving model and the old-gen look.

With only 15 songs on offer, Michael Jackson: The Experience HD will surely appeal only to real fans of the King of Pop. If you're not among them, look elsewhere.

Though Borderlands 2 is a pretty good game, with a solid gameplay, a ton of content and an astounding style, this PSVita version is the worst edition of the series. The major graphical downgrade is acceptable but the amount of bugs, glitches, frame rate drops and freezes, make the game hard to play.

The lack of content, options and a solid frame-rate make this version of Cities Skylines just a minor product in comparison with the PC original title. Despite a good use of the joypad and user interface, the sluggish pace is basically a design mistake and it’s tough to stay entertained for long.

Pac-Man Museum+ Is a generous collection dedicated to Namco Bandai’s iconic mascot, but is quite redundant if compared to the similar operation released just few years ago. The main issue is many of the games included are not so unforgettable if played today.

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.

A funny mini-games compilation, good for a fistful of hours... nothing more, nothing less. One of the weakest PlayStation Vita launch titles.

Pac-Man backs from the past with a variety of uninspired and gratuitous mini-games. Nothing about the game is particularly fun, except the Namco's classic games inside.

We suspect that the F2P nature of Dust 514 will not be enough to make PlayStation network casual gamers and Eve Online die hard fans the best buddies of this game.

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!

Kursk is an interesting idea on paper but the actual product falls short in many aspects. The gameplay is dull, uninteresting and full of dead moments, the production values are average at best.

A heartfelt homage to Banjo-Kazooie, lacking the grace, technical mastery and playability that made the original a classic.

Another Sight hits for some good ideas, but gets lost along the way. Few brilliant puzzles are blown away by faulty gameplay.

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.

TRON: Evolution Battle Grids is a different game from the PS3 and Xbox 360 games. The Wii version is a party game based on the TRON universe, but offers a small selection of events with old graphics.

The Sims 4 Luxury Party Stuff Pack adds only a limited set of items and party clothes, with no new gameplay options. Clothes are almost essentially focused on female characters.

Another shabby Kinect mini-games compilation, this time with those pesky rabbits.

Xbox Fitness is a strange hybrid of a video channel and a digital personal trailer which doesn’t seem to fully succeed in neither of its functions. Fun at times, it lacks the complexity of Wii Fit though it fits well in the concept of Xbox One’s “whole-family-entertainemnt”.

Karateka is a nice remake but it feels more like a mini-game than a full fledged product. The game lasts less than an hour and it is even less articulated than the original one.

Gloomhaven tries to bring the experience of the board game on our screens, but fails to recreate the feel of being around a table. The game, although very loyal to the source, lacks pacing and the missions (very repetitive after a while), even at the lowest levels, are incredibly hard and for the most part frustrating. It is definitely overwhelming for a new player, and way too much relying on RNG for a good result. A good opportunity that sadly doesn’t really deliver.

The interesting bits are buried in an excessively cumbersome and frustrating experience.

Although the idea of fighting along the Darkspawns is surely a thrilling premise, Darkspawn Chronicles proves to be a fairly mediocre add-on, unable to assure a fun and engaging experience throughout the one and only hour of gameplay it has to offer.

Bodycount has a lot of ideas but also a large amount of problems. A weak storyline guides the player through an average campaign mode, and the most interesting things are the co-op campaign and the Bodycount mode (the arcade style mode where you fight for the final grade). All the rest simply doesn't work as intended.

Despite his age, Chivalry Medieval Warfare is still bugged and raw.

An under-par Shadow of the Colossus clone with out of focus survival mechanics and some distracting technical flaws.

Although the idea of fighting along the Darkspawns is surely a thrilling premise, Darkspawn Chronicles proves to be a fairly mediocre add-on, unable to assure a fun and engaging experience throughout the one and only hour of gameplay it has to offer.

The Last Oricru starts from some good ideas but unfortunately poorly developed or not fully developed. Almost everything is to be reviewed, from the narrative choises and characterization to the combat system, bad most of the time. Hopefully, these criticisms will lead to a more refined second job.

A new “point and click” adventure from Flashback's creator Paul Cuisset that will disappoint old-school and hardcore fans.

Although War for Cybertron had us hoping for an imminent consecration for the franchise, Dark of the Moon proves to be just one of the many mediocre tie-in's we've had to deal with.

I'd love to say that Fairytale Fights is an hack'n slash you shouldn't miss: the style is just adorable and I really like the attitude of these psychopathic fairy tales. Yet this is a game that looks far better than how it plays, and still without considering its evident flaws the full price makes it hard to recommend it even to fans of the genre: sorry but there will be no happy ending, this time.

Aero Porter is a title that requires a lot of dedication to be fully understood, but still does not satisfy the gamer. For those looking for some quick entertainment, it will be too difficult to enjoy. The diabolical structure designed by Vivarium leads only to hysteria and boredom.

The game is poorly optimized, and while the spirit of the old Carmageddon games is somewhat still there, Stainless Games could and should have done more to release Reincarnation in a better shape.

Babylon’s Fall is a free-to-play action sold at premium price, devoid of any quality and technically dated.

The console versions of Warfighter definitely aren't the most polished and entertaining modern shooters on the market. Considering the expectations that there were on this series, we can call Medal of Honor a victim of EA's friendly fire.

Ironfall Invasion looks (a bit) and plays (a lot) like a mobile game. It lacks the depth and refinement of a “premium” console title, and overall ends up being an extremely generic and unappealing gameplay experience.

Kholat is a Horror experience game with a first person perspective. It has many gameplay issues but its main problem is the lack of fear and strong emotions that any Horror experience should be able to create.

One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP is just half of the game it used to be in the japanese version. Namco Bandai cutted away half of the original experience, trying to replace it with a cute statue. The 3DS version of this old Wii game is technically poor and its gameplay is not that good.
