Muramasa: The Demon Blade is a masterpiece manqué: Vanillaware focused too much on the technical side forgetting a little about the core gameplay, and the result is a game that's visually astonishing yet flawed. Some will love it the same, but many will regret its wasted potential.

Quotation forthcoming.

Quotation forthcoming.

Three of the best action games of the past generation in one, shiny package, with additional Trophies and 3D support... what else could you ask for?

The PS3 version of Child of Eden looks good, sounds great anche is really nice to play. The gameplay basics are also the same, but the general feeling is really different from the one we experienced playing using Kinect. The game is great, anyway. If you're looking for a unique videogame, don't miss this one!

Age of Empires IV marks the Year 0 of a new era for the saga. Relic and World's Edge used the second chapter as a founding stone to build a new iteration which is half nostalgic and half innovative, shuffling the cards but never too much, creating a game that is appealing for both hardcore fans and complete newcomers. It might have some flaws, but it's really hard to imagine a better fourth episode.

Style and a good narrative make this PS Vita game highly suggested to those loving graphic novels.

Faster, bigger and more addictive than its predecessor, TrackMania 2: Canyon is the ultimate arcade racing game.

My Friend Pedro is a stylish, fun and silly (in the best way possible) shooter. This is a challenging and crazy shoot'em up created by a talented solo developer. Unfortunately it has to deal with some misstep gameplaywise and a plot extremely forgettable.

Necrobarista is a 3D visual novel. It is stylish, relaxing and mysterious. Direction and scenography are smart and evocative. The writing is overall good, but it lacks focus, with head hopping and a lot of filler sequences.

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.

The PC porting of Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition has great graphics and offers the same good feelings of the 2 years old console versions, but a couple of technical issues and a bad net code ruin the final experience.

Sine Mora, the beautiful SHUMP from Grasshopper Manufacture, returns to PC and current-gen consoles in a remastered enhanced version called Sine Mora EX. There are a few add-ons that will bring back old players, above all the inclusion of local co-op multiplayer and some versus two player modes.
