A good start for Activision inside the world of collectible cards. Maybe a little too easy, but the road to improve this card-to-life game is wide and promising.

You'll love or hate it, no doubts. Great concept, great mechs, old school.

Encased is an interesting CRPG set in a dystopian alternative past that pays tribute to the original Fallout 1 & 2 for gameplay and core mechanics. Good storytelling and visuals. The combat lacks a bit of depth and strategy, but overall a good gaming experience.

Created by Double Fine through a crowdfunding campaign, Massive Chalice is an interesting turn-based strategy game that mixes the classic mechanics of the genre with some unique feature like permadeath, bloodlines relics and bloodlines genetics.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl lead us to rediscover the fascinating Sinnoh region fourteen years after the original. Too bad that many of the improvements introduced by the Platinum version have been removed and that these remakes do not present any substantial upgrade, except for a renewed visual aspect.

Addressed to the fans of Hiroiko Araki's manga, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is marked by strengths and weaknesses of the title dated 2014, only proposing small adjustments certainly not able to change the original judgment. Featuring simple and spectacular gameplay, CyberConnect2’s game still lacks today in terms of cleanliness and balancing of the experience, due to some very imprecise hitboxes and a not well balanced roster.

Draugen gameplay is flat and poor and sometimes the storytelling pace is undeniably flawed. Nevertheless the story of Edward and Lissie is absolutely enjoyable and deeper than expected thanks to two great main character that someday will definitely return.

Zumba returns with a new game featuring revamped graphics and gameplay; unfortunately, with the same lack of features too.

Poly Bridge is an uncommon puzzle game based on physics, in which players have to use not only ingenuity to win levels and have fun, but above all creativity and imagination.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Flame in the Flood is ultimately a melting pot of wasted opportunities that seems to be neither a survival rich with content, nor unforgettable auteur film. It is a real pity if we consider the fascinating structure supporting the game.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a competent and efficient classical RPG that introduces a new interesting managerial aspect but is also affected by a lot of boring and uninteresting moments. Crashes and bugs also don’t help.

in FAMOUS: First Light is a good DLC with an interesting story and a bunch of arenas for a horde-like gameplay. The Fetch adventure is smaller than the one we already played in Second Son, but the balance is much better. If you liked the original game, you'll enjoy with this DLC.

Considering the overall quality, both visually and gameplay wise, PES 2011 3D is undoubtedly the best football game available on 3DS. There's definitely room for improvement, but for the time being we can consider ourselves satisfied.

A surprisingly enjoyable (and challenging) 2D “sci-fi + western” action-platform with a quite original three-armed mutant bounty hunter protagonist.

Dante's Inferno is a well refined game with all the credentials to keep the fans of this genre stuck in front of the television until the final confrontation with Lucifer. The not always perfect positioning of the camera and the poor length of the experience prevent the final mark to go higher than this.

Kinect Sports in a good party game, and offers some great experiences like volley and ping pong. Just like any other multi-event game, it offers good and bad sports, but the final result is a nice and entertaining product.

There's nothing (new) to see here. Even if you are a real Harry Potter fan, maybe you don't want to go back to Hogwarts again

A dark and gothic take on the survival RPG genre, in which cooperate is the only way to survive.

The Ninja Gaiden trilogy returns to modern platforms in a 4K collection that includes most of the DLCs released over the years. This is an excellent opportunity to rediscover an action classic.

Broken Age Act 2 is like a rollercoaster: exhilarating during its best moments, but it doesn’t last enough and stops abruptly. Enjoyable, but not the classic we were hoping for.

A lovely Castlevania-like adventure with intriguing time-control mechanics. It also looks and plays great.

Big Brain Academy is back on the Nintendo Switch with a bunch of old and new learning challenges. We're just a little bit disappointed by the multiplayer that lack some options available on the Wii and DS outings.

Warp is a very fresh and original puzzle/stealth/action game where you have to escape from an underwater lab, using your ability to warp, duplicate, swap with objects and launch them. It offers a wide variety of situations that you can resolve as you like, with stealth, violence or a mix of them. One of the best downloadable games of the year.

Until now we've got plenty of HD collection, remake and reboot, but it's still a good thing that sometimes an old masterpiece comes back for the sake of gamers. This is the case for Zone of the Enders: HD Collection, a good game which again presents one of the best sagas of the last console generation. Unfortunately there is not much to play for for those who bought the original game, but the games themselves are worth the cost.

Gravity Crash is undeniably a well refined product: the graphics are derivative but amazing, the soundtrack is atmospheric and the whole package surely works. Yet the addictive "last one before i quit" factor, that's so typical of the great arcade classics, is kinda missing here, and the result is a game that will entertain you without making you go crazy. It's not an Apollo 13, but neither a big step for the retro-humanity.

Anarchy Reigns is pure awesomeness, the true core of an entertaining gameplay and the God of multiplayer. Sadly, SEGA and Platinum Games will not earn much money from this great project. As usual.

Sakura Wars (2019) wants to refresh the franchise, while maintaining its core identity and narrative continuity. The rhythm and style of the story is perfect for a fan ofJapanese, anime-style productions and the characters, despite their tropes, let themselves be loved. The choice to simplify the battles so much is questionable, putting them practically in the background from every other point of view, but the Trust system, the stylish character design and the excellent dubbing manage to balance the accounts.
