    Considering that this add-on implements a bunch of new furniture elements and not much more, the only ones that should consider this purchase are real fans of the series. If you're not among them, look elsewhere.

    Knights Contracts has nice ideas and too many technical issues. With rivals like Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta, God of War and Devil May cry, this Game Republic title has no chance to gain your attention.

    Downward Spiral: Horus Station is a game with a lot of weaknesses in all of its aspects. The boring gameplay is flat and the story inconsistent. Take into consideration the purchase only if you spent a lot of money on VR and don't have any other game to play on it.

    Hearthfire is too superficial and linear to fit in a deep and complex game as Skyrim. And it's a shame, because the personal life of a Dragonborn would have been a great addition to this game.

    Risen is a mediocre products that doesn't succeed to make the name of Piranha Bytes shine again after the deluding Gothic 3. Despite some good ideas, the game is not much stimulating, proving fit just for hardcore gamers. Should you not be one of them, you'd better look for something else or you will be inevitably driven into boredom and frustration.

    If you're looking for a relaxing game, with a good story and deep fights but not too much complicated, keep yourself away from Cross Edge. Otherwise, if you love titanic and frustrating quests and love to complete games at 100%...buy it!

    Wolfenstein is essentially a mediocre product, even under the technical point of view, a title whose qualities are unfortunately not sufficient to hide its many flaws. The quality standards of Return to Castle Wolfenstein are just a memory of the past and whoever is expecting an intense and entertaining experience will be deeply deluded.

    The Legend of Legacy has a fantastic art design, excellent music and some interesting mechanics. Unfortunately the gameplay is repetitive, the plot virtually nonexistent, the progression of the characters assigned to a random and arbitrary system. All features that will irritate fans of the genre.

    Dynasty Warriors 9 is a hack and slash game with stealth elements developed by Omega Force. The title revampS the gameplay of the series with the introduction of the open world environment. Unfortunately, the unpleasant graphical accuracy and the presence of annoying bugs make Dynasty Warriors 9 a second-rate game.

    Blades of Time is boring and technically horrible. A bunch of good gameplay ideas and an interesting level design are not enough for you to buy this game. If you'ld like to experience a standard action-fantasy videogame, however, maybe you should rent this product for a couple of days.

    The PC version of Quantum Break suffers of several critical issues. The UWP needs a big number of fixes in order to compete with Steam, Gog and other gaming platforms. The lack of fluidity and big resolution problems are enough to prefer the Xbox One version of Quantum Break.

    Although the quality of at least three of the four games included is unquestionable, the Dreamcast Collection suffers from the lack of a real optimization, especially from a technical standpoint, that disfigures in comparison with many other recent remakes.

    Designer's Cut is a disappointing DLC that shows that even interesting ideas, if badly managed, don't automatically bring to success. Those who have already spent many hours in the cooperative mode will certainly be happy to spend more time in Arms Race or farm old bosses with new skills, but this does not delete out the questionable choices made in the first place.

    While the style of the game is certainly appealing, there’s too much that the developer could have done to make it a good game. But they set up for a simple, hilarious setting giving up on everything else.

    Despite the excellent foundation on which it is based, Overkill's The Walking Dead is a mediocre production. Although it can still be saved, at present, the excessive repetitiveness and the artificial difficulty imposed by the developers make playing and progressing simply frustrating, ruining the experience.

    The Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection is pretty dumb. Budokai 3 is still a great game, but the lack of any kind of online mode and the crazy absence of Budokai 2, transform a good chance into a sad nonsense.

    Enki is presented as a “repeatable horror experience” but fails both the repeatable and the horror parts. The publicized randomization system affects just the displacements of key objects, and the whole experience is over in about 50 minutes, far less than the price point of 10 Euros my suggest.

    Disney characters Phineas and Ferb become a videogame inspired by the TV movie. Even though the game perfectly fits the atmosphere of the series, the PSP version seems quite useless, especially considering the lack of any cooperative multiplayer mode.

    While the Super Monkey Ball series is one of the most loved, this chapter fails to convey the appeal of his predecessors. No good minigames, no new mechanics, no better graphics. Try it if you're a Monkey Ball's fan. If not, just pass trough. There are better games to play, even on Vita.

    Rise of Nightmares is an interesting idea, an ambitious project followed by a catastrophic implementation. Walking on 3D locations sounds really promising, but its charm disappears after 10 minutes because of a too twisted control schema: considering this was the first horror hardcore game for Kinect, we can only hope for a brighter future for this genre.
    • 60 Metascore

    A quite anonymous game that, after an entertaining beginning, becomes soon repetitive and shows nothing particular to emerge on the long run from his competitors. Look at it just if you have a Wii and are a big fan of the movie.

    Batman Arkham City Lockdown tries to offer an Infinity Blade experience, with stunning graphics and addictive gameplay. Sad to say, the results are totally different: mechanics are poor, besides too few ideas repeated throughout the game. Definitely, a half faux pas in the Warner Bros Batman franchise.

    It's very difficult to give a sense to Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll. It's boring, with a very bad game design and without originality, otherwise the label of the series. The introduction of the Balance Board fails to give a breath of fresh air, succumbing in its implementation.

    Bombshell is an action-shooter which fails in the most important aspect in a game of this genre: whether it's entertaining. The game is often dull and uninteresting, enemies’ AI is awful and missions are boring: it’s a shame, since the game offers interesting gunplay. A multiplayer competitive mode would have helped.

    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.

    At the end of the day, we can't consider Dungeons a legitimate successor to Dungeon Keeper. In particular, the final evaluation has to consider the price of the game: on Steam, you can find much more complex and fun products, for a lesser price.

    Carmageddon: Max Damage is an enhanced version of last year’s PC reboot, but a few addictions and more of the same gameplay simply aren’t enough to offer a high level product. Bad graphics and frame rate issues are the biggest things to complain about. The gameplay is loyal to the series, but 20 years later it just does not have the same appeal. It offers some big time fun moments, though.

    The game is a strange rock-paper-scissor like beat-em-up, too simplistic and too naïve. Even with Avengers and Marvel Secret Invasion license it does not have any appeal, if you aren’t a strong fan of the series. It’s evident the effort made by the developers in order to improve the game, implementing a new control system dedicated to WiiU’s GamePad, unfortunately this was not enough to improve the game itself.

    While the Rayman series is still one of the most interesting in the Ubisoft portfolio, we can't say the same for the Rabbids, which have become silly, hysterical and boring.

    Shaq Fu: A legend Reborn is the direct sequel of the fighting game released in 1994 on Mega Drive and SNES. The gameplay is very different from the prequel because it shifts towards side-scrolling 3D beat’em up pattern, but despite these changes it really fails to impress, due to dull and repetitive mechanics and a total lack of depth. The only good thing is Shaq’s humorous voice-acting, but it simply cannot be enough to make this game worth buying.
