Overall, therefore, the remasters of Nioh 1 and 2 boast a solid and satisfying performance profile, while not marking a clear step forward compared to the previous versions of the two titles, at least as regards the general performance of the graphics sector.

It was already a wonderful game to watch on the PlayStation 4, and on the PS5 it is even more flashy: the new version of Crash 4 is fluid and graphically razor-sharp, thanks to the 60 fps frame rate and the 4K resolution; however, the visual upgrade is not all-encompassing, and certainly does not distort the glance of the production. The update for the new Sony and Microsoft consoles, which - we remember - is free and supports the transfer of old gen saves, therefore fulfills its duty without overdoing it, limiting itself to maximizing the strengths of the technical sector. Too bad only for a rather lazy implementation of DualSense, whose features are not valued sufficiently: the use of haptic feedback and a more decisive use of adaptive triggers could in fact have given the experience a more distinctive touch.

If Alan Wake was an introspective, crepuscular and dreamlike thriller, Jesse Fayden's adventure adheres more decisively to the logic of genre, recovering (from House of Leaves as well as from the Area X Trilogy) a sprawling, obsessive narrative, in a strongly intimate and in any case allusive science fiction.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Sims Freeplay is not free and honestly is not even "play". Indeed you actually can't play it if you don't want to spend money for getting all the actions complete. We found this slow gameplay really frustrating and we hope that EA will listen to the users.

That Days Gone Remastered offers a great show in Unreal Engine is evident, but net of some graphic differences, such as the improved rendering of the night sections, we can also say the same of the original incarnation of the game. Without mincing words, the two versions of the open world adventure are certainly not identical but remain comparable. Having said this, Deacon fans might find the new Horde Assault mode interesting, which allows you to experience the highest gaming merits of the production in a few minutes, between hunting large groups of Freakers - now larger than ever! - roaring escapes on motorcycles and many main and support death tools to use in battle. Those who have always wanted to get closer to Days Gone and have not been able to do so until now, could seriously consider the offer of the remastered edition: it still offers the most valid and complete way to experience a great adventure of the PS4 era, set in an Oregon as rich in charm as it is lethal.

A terrible edition: a lot of aliasing, input lag and a faulty control scheme.

Despite a content offering that risks running out in a short time, the great strength of the title lies in an unconventional approach to game design which, thanks to augmented reality, is able to make the world of video games interact with that of the games in a simple and intuitive way.

In the passage from the portable consoles to PlayStation 4 the gameplay has been torn and demolished by a shameful lag input, which literally prevents playing by transforming a crystalline distillate of fun and freshness into a clumsy clutter of frustration.

As far as possible from a masterpiece, but still manages to bring the loaf home, in a sense.

The lamentations of those who do not want to accept it are worth less than the wonder of those who have always wanted it.

The Tripwire shark has slightly sharp teeth, moves with unmanageable spasms and cannot vary either its diet or the bleak routine of a boring and mechanical hunting. Stranded on the sand, it waits for the sad fate that falls to all the fish left in the sun.

3 on 3 NHL Arcade is a game to avoid. Despite of the funny gameplay, the cost of the game isn’t proportional to the global offer, which is composed by a single game mode, and “Blue Vs. Red” option will soon run out of interest.

Chasing Aurora is a Competitive Party Game that does not work. The weakness of the gameplay structure and a not involving single player made every effort useful. A bad game to stay away from.

Resident Evil: Resistance is an honest appendix of Resident Evil 3, able to give a few hours of fun to all fans of the series curious to try its asymmetric multiplayer.

Our judgment on Rise of Insanity is a peremptory "no".

Hokko Life arrives on Nintendo Switch in an unacceptable technical state, so much so that any possibility of feeling sympathy for the dishes of Hokko's inhabitants and their stories fades regardless. It does not help the low quality of writing and an experience structure that made us feel trapped in Hokko, and not masters of the adventure. Dragged into a whirlwind of assignments, wood gathering and unpleasant fishing sessions, we were not in any way fascinated by a life sim that promised a relaxing and creative experience, but which on balance cannot compete with the most famous exponents. like that, Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley above all.

Quotation forthcoming.

There is no fun in waiting six hours to have the opportunity to produce a weapon which, however, will require a project and materials; there is no greater nervousness than being killed to get a poor gun removed and there is nothing more tedious than an obsolete and redundant system of microtransactions.

A poor collection. There is no delicate way to say it.

There were interesting premises here, but this is a half done game, sadly.

Test Drive Ferrari Racing Legends is a bad game. From every point of view. It cannot even entertain fans of Ferrari or Racing maniacs.

Quotation forthcoming.

This version of Dokapon Journey does not add anything to the previous wii game. Indeed the game experience is more boring and repetitive. If you like RPGs on DS you may look for something better.

The minigames are too simple and repetitious. The input system doesn't work well.The whole structure is the same as the first two "Cooking" games, with a botanic twist that doesn't renew a childish gameplay.

Gymkhana Racing could have been a nice racing game: graphics are cool and the "mission" approach is somehow original to the genre. Unfortunately, the control system is a complete mess.

Especially when we consider the good initial insights, the fall of Gods Will Fall is really a great shame.

A horror game that won't provide any thrill.

It's almost unplayable, and that's a real shame, since the graphic and artistic compartments are oh so good.

A total disappointment, not only for Silent Hill fans but also for Hack'n'Slash lovers.

It tries at every step to be interesting, innovative and intriguing, but the flawed and boring combat system and the abysmal graphics drag down the good plot. A Game of Thrones is viable only for the true fans of the series. The forgiving kind.

Look further, navigate to other seas.

If you love the saga, you know what to expect from this chapter. Despite the usual contents, it seems Onechambara is stuck in the past, and it desperately needs some evolution in the next future.

Disciples 3 is an artistically impressive title that completely disappoints the players since boredom and silliness of the AI overcome anything good that anyone could master during the game.

A forgettable experience. It wants to mimic Papo & Yo and Journey, but ends up being way less than the sum of its parts.

Eurocom fails even on the snow.

Quotation forthcoming.

The famous "bla bla bla" of Drac, so dear to the fans of the film, is in danger of turning into a "bleah bleah bleah".

This second and final act shows way less care for details if compared to its predecessor, and it's a true shame.

Moebius is one of the worst games written by Jane Jensen. Too many bugs and some major plot holes are there to destroy the few good aspects of this adventure.

Another endless runner hits the App Store. This time, with a bad control scheme and a very poor structure.

From the Ashes is a content that we hardly recommend to recommend for the proposed price.

The feeling of Minecraft is completely lost and the game is not capable of giving the player an intersting experience.

Dull and repetitious, Fairytale Fights is one of the worst products of this generation. Stupid Control System, iterative gameplay, creepy graphics are the main issues with the game.

Waking the Glares is an insane game, a project choked by its own intentions: what should have been a dreamlike and emotional journey that exalts the intellect and the sight, ended up with only a painful whirlwind in an abyss of insensitivity.

The idea behind AKIBA's TRIP is tasty and fun, but if in 2011 the product could work even with all its shortcomings and the limitations imposed by the PSP hardware, the same cannot be said for its re-release.

Rygar: The Battle of Argus is totally not a good game: some of the good ideas linked to the potential of WiiMote are ruined by an old game structure that frustrates the player a lot during the game and there's no point in graphics that are under the today's Wii average.

Unless you are a huge fan of the TV series in complete abstinence of content related to the famous trio of presenters, sincerely, we advise you to turn your gaze elsewhere.

The Sims 3 simply doesn't work on Nintendo 3DS (and, probabily, on a portable system as well). The nice formula of the PC version has been distorted and misread.

Sadly, there's nothing really enhanced in this version.

Urban Crime is the worst side of the freemium formula requiring money even for stealing cars. The terrible pop-up effect and a fluidity that often is embarrassing, complete one of the worst GTA clones on the App Store.

X-Blades is totally incapable of attracting experienced gamers. Even if it shows a certain variety, the level design is awful, the structure is deeply fragmented, and the gameplay is obsessively repetitious. Moreover, X-Blades is the button-mashing paradise, and it fails to convey a deep Hack’n’Slash mechanic. Technical issues regarding the dull camera system, the bad looking cell shading, the terrible character design, are there to keep players away from the game.

The Good Life is a product plagued by major problems on the playful and structural side. A title extremely lacking from a technical point of view, which brings to the screen a series of decidedly questionable game design choices, at the basis of an adventure that, while trying to tell a story in its own way mature, often ends in boredom and struggles to support the player's interest.

There is not an ounce of atmosphere in the middle between eros and Lovecraft that should have characterized Lust for Darkness.

Quotation forthcoming.

It drags, in short, for an hour and a half from beginning to end, without glory and with some infamy, leaving us, at the end of the experience, only with a sense of profound ignorance.

Sadly, pixel art can't make right a game that lacks interesting gameplay or mechanics.

Naruto Shippuden 3D – The New Era is a complete disaster. Boring, tedious, repetitive, it's one of the worst Nintendo 3DS titles.

One of the worst gaming experience ever created. Track list is poor and the movement relevation is very imprecise.

Eleusis Nocturnal Works fails to impose the gameplay structure, due to excessive simplicity of the puzzles, annoying backtracking and bad exploration mechanics.

There were some good ideas in the concept, but the experience is terribly tedious. Add some lame platforming, and what you get is a forgettable game.

KOEI misses the target again. Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 is the same game as the others Dynasty Warriors: Gundam series of the past. Old gameplay old graphics, a boring game that even a Gundam's superfan will not enjoy.

An intriguing premise - that of a soulslike science fiction in which you fight mostly at a distance, using upgradable grenades and guns - turned into one of the worst video games of recent years: a sloppy title, poorly conceived and in some areas clearly "broken".

Iron Man 2 is, without doubts, one of the worst Tie In of the recent videogame history.

The combat system is indeed original, but the contents are really too thin. It could've been a much more interesting experience, but it lacks a precise direction.

It's an utter and complete disaster. It might end up in some trash lover's collection, and that would be already something for a game that has no reason to sit on the shelves today.

One of the worst games of the first quarter of 2009. Strategic aspect is poor, the whip selection system is a total failure, Hud is complicated. Ugly unit design, and a creepy graphical engine. Creative Assemply should focus on Total War and forget other experiments.

Quotation forthcoming.

The result, however, is a jumble of mechanics that offers nothing really convincing, framed by a very low level technical realization.

ArmA Tactics is a resounding hole in the water and systematically missing almost all the targets that the developers had set, at least in its PC version.

Poor in content, form and substance, Paranoia: Happiness is mandatory involuntarily inscribes itself in the list of games that certainly do not bring the video game closer to the traditional role-playing game, but rather that underline the extreme differences and limits of the medium with respect to the characteristics of the paper versions.

X-Men Destiny has only one positive aspect: the screenplay, written by Mike Carey. Everything else, gameplay, graphics and sound, is difficult to define, if not with a peremptory: disaster.

The premises showed some courage in touching elements of the classic formula, but the result is terribly disappointing. The design lacks care for details, and that doesn't make for an interesting experience.

Lost Reavers is really bad, frustrating and uninspiring. The graphic is terrible, its framerate is unstable and the gameplay mechanics are quite too raw to be decent. The only positive parts of the game are its free-to-play nature and its interesting concept.

A total Failure. Ugly to see, too hard to master and really poor on the gameplay front.

A standard Hack'n'slash, with no interesting features but button mashing.

It could've been an interesting shoot'em up, but it's way too frustrating,and utterly spoiled by a lame save system, bugs and glitches.

There is no way to justify TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan: the combats are noisy and puzzling, it looks like the system has been made to confuse the players, and it keeps reminding how shallow the game developing has been. The few good aspects just fade away in front of its low-level production.

No difference between part 2 and part 1: boring, dull and short.

Conceptually uninspired, technically disastrous, boring and frustrating to play, PlayerThree title is an inconceivable product.

New characters and new enchantments aren't enough to save the second part of this sleazy tie in.

MindsEye's merits are a few needles in a disastrous haystack. The first few minutes of Jacob's journey even manage to arouse curiosity, at least a little, but it is enough to start comparing the adventure's gameplay to discover its clear limits. Limitations that unfortunately do not spare the graphics sector and performance solidity in any way, at least on consoles. The guys at Build a Rocket Boy say they are working to improve the situation but this does not change the truth: we are faced with a production that would have deserved a much better development cycle and which, at the moment, is the worst we have worked on in 2025.

Repetitious, boring and grey. One of the worst FPS for Nintendo DS.

Enemy Front tries to narrate the Second World War through an unusual perspective, but it fails because of a terrible gameplay and an impressive amount of bug and glitches.

It might become an accidental trash myth, or just another junk-bin disaster. As it is, what it surely isn't is a good experience to be played.

It doesn't set itself apart from amateurish mods, so those waiting for something more accomplished will be deeply disappointed.

One of the worst tie-in of the last five years.

A third person shooter without any distinctive features, some glitches and a really bad progression.

It's a rushed game, poor in contents, and unable to stand on its own ideas.

There is little to expect from the work done by Jandusoft. The cancellation of Silent Hills and the disappearance of P.T. are two epochal events that will remain in the history of video games. Evil Inside, although it is a production that strives to recreate the same magic of Kojima's work, fails to add anything new, failing as a homage and even a spiritual sequel.

G.I.Joe: Rise of the Cobra is one of the worst games ever seen during this generation, with ugly graphic and sound and an insubstantial gameplay.

It could've been a chance to give a second life to an old classic, but EA got this all wrong. The managing side is poor, and a greedy microtransaction system ultimately spoils the fun.

Weak play from all points of view.

We should forget Neil Gaiman's support to this petty and meaningless game.

Except for the nostalgia factor, which could entice at least the (few) fans of the series, there is not the slightest reason why we should advise the purchase of Gungrave VR Loaded Coffin Edition.

Creepy level design, inaccurate controls, and a ugly art design: Cid the Dummy is a videogame that even the platform fans won't appreciate.

Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs 3D is unimaginative, tedious, and damn repetitive. To be remembered only as one of the less successful games of the initial line-up of the Nintendo 3DS.

Lazy.
