Considering the quality of the overall experience, its engaging co-op and its dark, fascinating visuals, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile proves to be a worthy addition to the XBLA catalogue that few gamers should miss.

Quotation forthcoming.

Middle Earth Shadow of War is an impressive action game, with solid graphics and smooth gameplay. Nemesys System works very well, but it’s not capable randomizing the fortress and the world. Missions too are too similar, but Monolith has built a solid and fun experience.

Another solid entry in the Persona series, this dungeon crawling adventure will keep you entertained for hours and maybe will be the last great title that you will play on the Nintendo 3DS.

Although it might seem a simple more of the same, Borderlands 3 is the maximum expression of what the brand represents: massacres, loot and pure mayhem. Some flaws in technic and storytelling prevent the game from getting a better score.

Joe Danger 2: The Movie for PlayStation Vita is easily the best version of the game available on any platform. Four Door Lemon and Hello Games delivered once again a perfect experience packed with tons of contents and a fun gameplay.

Rollerdrome is a candidate as one of the best surprises of the year, a frenetic game full of style and personality. Above all, it encourages us to play and improve ourselves. Rollerdrome Is a full-blown stylish-TPS with a truly endless potential.

Final Fantasy XV is an amazing JRPG. A great story, amazing gameplay mechanics, powerful graphics and more than 100 hours of pure fun. A couple of annoying bugs ruined our long run, but the overall result is still stunning.

Dragon’s Dogma on PC is the usual splendid combat-fest that used to be on console. Too bad that 4 years have passed and the game is technically still the same; which, by today standards, is definitely not a compliment.

In a dystopian and dark world we will question the meaning of life and existence. An atypical RPG with interesting mechanics and a powerful and exciting story.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is a fantastic puzzle game, a crossover between two of the best franchises of the genre, Tetris and Puyo Puyo. The Nintendo Switch version is the way to go, offering great versatility and allowing you to play on the go or in docked mode. Multiplayer is supported up to 4 players both local with one or more consoles linked via wireless or on the TV screen, and online. Single player mode is too weak though, but if you have some friends and two couple of Joy-Cons, you will have loads of fun.

The first expansion of Guild Wars 2 adds a lot of new content like Masteries, new zones and the Revenant, the brand new class with the powers of the Mists. Have fun to exploring the new area called Heart of Maguuma and try to find every secret.

Skulls of the Shogun is an unsuspected good turn-based tactical game, with an addictive cross-platform gameplay both in single and multiplayer, humorous characters and some cool ideas. With some more depth in customization and options, it could have been an instant classic.

Birds of Prey is both a realistic flight simulator and an historical and deluxe edition of Ace Combat, leaving the fans of this genre of games extremely satisfied. Sturmovik is a well-finished and balanced product, that will nail you to your seats for more than 40 hours in single player and virtually forever in multiplayer. The best choice for all those willing to fly high in the sky.

Bravely Second is an amazing JRPG, but it lacks in innovations. Bravely Second was almost the perfect JRPG and Square Enix has done everything in order to keep the cocktail unchanged. Play it and you'll have a lot of fun, but you'll never get the same childish eyes you had enjoying Bravely Default.

Beyond Earth is more Civilization V than Alpha Centauri, and its gameplay is smooth and far less linear than the past. But it can't have the magic of Civilization that, with its artists, monuments and links with our story, has more appeal.

There are a few things that need to be optimized and the concept could be even better but Active is the best title available in its category actually.

While not living up to the standards set by Hitman Go and Lara Croft Go, Deus Ex Go is a valid puzzle-game with a top-notch presentation and a clever level design.

Even with console controls, Terraria is still perfectly playable and definitely one of the most enchanting indie games in recent history.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is the remastered version in high resolution for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC of the original game, released 10 years ago. It adds two new playable characters and unpublished costumes in the West. It offers excellent cel shading graphics, anime-like cutscene sequences and a very dynamic real-time combat system.

Visage is quite simply one of the best horror games to hit the market in recent times, an experience you won't easily forget. [Eurogamer Italy Recommended]

SoulCalibur V is a great fighting game with a completely new fighting system. The Project Soul team has done a great job changing the fighting mechanics, with few big mistakes around game modes and the character roster. This is a great new beginning for the saga.

The violent and oppressive far future of Warhammer 40k has been beautifully recreated in Chaos Gate Demonhunters. The XCOMesque style of game play, both for the missions gameplay and for the base management, fits perfectly with the theme and the lore of this franchise. Very detailed graphics and superb soundtrack close the deal.

The second chapter in the Scribblenauts series is not a proper sequel, but an incredible update of the original game that will give you everything you wished for after playing the first chapter.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is an excellent remake of the mistreated chapter that appeared on Nintendo Wii ten years ago. The new key-based control system could delight many even if it does not have the precision necessary to withstand the most intense battles but the story of the young Link and Princess Zelda is worth checking out by anyone.
