Neither a full horror experience nor a complex puzzle game, Close to the Sun is a narrative adventure with an amazing atmosphere plagued by issues in both gameplay and storytelling. Despite the lack of originality this is definitely a step forward for the Italian team of Storm in a Teacup and an appealing world to explore.

Quotation forthcoming.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is a good game with many issues. The brand new combat system is the most interesting element of this project, but a weak storytelling and the lack of a true challenge are enough to affect the final score. The game is still good and interesting enough to entertain players till the very end.

Just like the previous chapter, The Cruel King and the Great Hero tells an enchanting story with a beautiful hand-drawn graphic style, but fails to bring an evolution to the repetitive and unbalanced gameplay.

Armored Core: Verdict Day is closer to a big add-on than to a brand new game. The core game is the same as Armored Core V with more maps, more parts to customize your mech with and new modes. If you loved Armored Core V you'll like this one too.

Quotation forthcoming.

Combining all the elements that made L.A. Noire an absolute must buy, Reefer Madness proves to be a well crafted DLC that deserves full attention from any fan of the game.

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.

Despite a necessary upgrade since the 2017 release, MotoGP 18 still has the same flaws from the last Milestone era. The core experience is great, but the magic stops as soon as you peak out of the circuit.

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.

Diluvion is a gorgeous exploration game with an unpolished user interface and an uninspired narrative. Lovers of submarine exploration will love it, but gamers looking for a complete package will definitely feel something’s lacking.

Rain World is the typical missed opportunity, a game with brilliant ideas ruined by some flawed mechanics which risk to hold back the wonder of an extraordinary world.

This Is the Police is an atypical management simulations, typify by a deep storytelling, about events that occurred to a tormented police chief. The emerging developer Weappy has embarked on a risky road and we want to reward it.

Star Trek online can be defined as a causal alternative to Eve Online; a lot of ideas mixed in a cauldron where the result is a bland soup. You can love its atmospheres, especially if you are a Trekker, but if you are a skilled player you will soon forget it.

Quotation forthcoming.

Mario Party 10 is definitely the best episode of the series and an instant buy if you have a Wii and some friends to play with.

King Arthur II is the most credible opponent to the Total War series: thanks to its RPG elements, it's able to create an original gameplay and an interesting dark version of of the legends based on King Arthur. Only some technical flaws prevent this game from touching the excellence.

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.

The fans of the Serious Sam saga can take into account an easy (and cheap) buy, because the feeling of the 3D versions of the game has been transposed into Double D well.

Two action-JRPGs in one shot, with an interesting (and deep) tactical combat system, but with an unavoidable background monotony, not sufficiently balanced by RPG elements worthy of note.

Need for Speed is a compelling driving experience that needs to be beefed up to stand with its competitors.

The PC version of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is a good porting that runs smoothly at 1080p/60fps on older PCs. The game has still few balancing issues, but its combat system can be fun.

Know by heart is an exciting and well-written story, despite starting out very slowly.

BleedingEdge is a punk game, a fun experience crafted with a lot of love for the hack and slash genre. But we are not sure it has what is needed to survive the test of time and escape the hero based game niche.

An evocative story-driven adventure, with a simple and satisfying gameplay.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong succeeds in making us feel in front of a board game, bringing all the mysteries, conspiracies and atmospheres of the World of Darkness. Unfortunately, the graphics slow down the enthusiasm, like a script that very often is not particularly exciting.

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.

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?
