YS VIII for Nintendo Switch a lazy port from Sony’s consoles. Despite the use of dynamic resolution scaling (DRS) and halving the frame-rate to 30fps, both of these aspects suffer and fail to deliver in the heat of the action. Besides these technical issues, the experience is the same of the original release and this game offer a lot to old school RPG lovers.

While not particularly deep in combat system and level design, Ys Origin is still enjoyable today just like 14 years ago, thanks to reactive controls and an extreme fluidity of the experience, also on the narrative front.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a long-lived, colorful and fun title, which takes the classic mechanics of RPGs and reimagines them in a Monster Hunter way; it's also a good sequel to the Nintendo 3DS spinoff title. Its only flaw is having dared little on the visual front, perhaps held back by the hardware limits of Nintendo's hybrid console.

Another dark post-apocalyptic action-adventure? Nope. Enslaved introduces gamers to a gorgeous and detailed world, full of mechanical quirkiness. If you can look past his flaws, you'll be rewarded with one of the best sci-fi games of the year. Give it a try, you wont regret it!

Burnout Paradise is back... again. After 10 years Criterion's masterpiece is still entertaining as hell and looks beautiful on the PS4.

The biggest LEGO game ever made and certainly one of the best. A galaxy (far far away) of levels, challenges, characters and secrets... but still no online co-op.

For PCs and next-gen consoles, Battlefield 4 is one of the greatest online shooters to date.

Not only Splatoon is fun, colorful and addictive, but is one of the best games available for Wii U and a good reason to buy Nintendo's console.

Probably the most thrilling and violent episode to date, but Telltale fails to provide an equally compelling storytelling and gameplay.
