Trinity Team takes advantage of the experience accumulated with the first episode and creates a sequel that is richer and more refined in every aspect. Bud Spencer & Terence Hill: Slaps and Beans 2 is a heartfelt homage to a duo who wrote the history of Italian cinema, with music, references and quotes capable of honoring the legend of Carlo Pedersoli and Mario Girotti. In general, we are faced with a solid beat 'em up, varied at the right point thanks also to the presence of numerous minigames, splendid to see as well as to listen to. Between some hitbox problems and sudden spikes in difficulty, there are some rough edges, yet the title has what it takes to intrigue fans of the genre. If Bud and Terence have played an important role in your life, then we can't tell you anything other than: make it yours immediately, otherwise we'll get angry!

If you missed the the PS3 version and Xbox 360, it's time to buy Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Graphically amazing and with a wonderful gameplay, it will satisfy all lovers of the genre.

Titanfall delivers the same fast-paced experience even on Xbox 360. You just have to lock the framerate at 30fps, or you'll experience some annoying drops.

Needless to deny, however, that limitations such as the lack of private lobbies in the multiplayer and the framerate blocked at 30 frames per second on all versions, even on mid-gen consoles, are quite heavy in such a precise, advanced and punitive product.

An excellent videogame supplement, cared for and always fun, varied and intelligent.

It is a pleasure to rediscover today, arrived at the twilight of this generation, a title that enhances curiosity and sense of discovery; a product that, precisely in the name of its level design, the cooperative mode and its always inspired puzzles, lives beyond the end credits, sure to carve out a place in the hearts of all true videogame adventurers.

Only at the center of the scene, the fluctuating relationship between Mary and her mother turns into the stage chosen by the team to tell the importance of empathy and the continuous search for mutual understanding. An inner journey that lives on the border between the USA and Japan, Hindsight looks to an audience of curious gamers, willing to sacrifice articulated interactivity for a few hours in favor of a markedly intimate story.

Ark Park is not the game we hoped to recommend to all owners of PlayStation VR.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is the worthy successor of the first chapter and collects many of its positive aspects, introducing innovations that broaden Milestone's proposal in terms of game modes, tracks and vehicle fleet. Thanks to the addition of jumping in particular, the gameplay can count on a new level of depth which goes well with the variety of challenges available. The pleasant campaign offers dozens of hours of gameplay and the possibilities offered by the track editor could be able to increase the longevity of the product in a concrete way. In short, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is fun, varied and takes several steps forward compared to its predecessor: if you are a fan of these iconic toy cars, it shouldn't escape you.

A good platformer: simple, straightforward, colorful. Exactly what you would expect from a new Kirby adventure.

Ultimately, Miles Morales is a fun and well-written open world; thanks to a properly conceived development system, it encourages players to tackle even the slightly more repetitive tasks, which fortunately are accompanied by a well-woven main quest. Nothing new for those who have already worn the Spider-Man costume on PS4, but Insomniac is always a guarantee of great quality.

Another Fisherman's Tale proved to be a sequel that lived up to expectations. The duration of the adventure finally does justice to the production value, while the new mechanics based on the ability to manipulate the protagonist's body guarantee a fresh and original approach to solving puzzles. Net of some flaws in the control system, we appreciated the greater physical involvement required of the player during the experience. The narrative sector pushes us to want to know more about Bob and his daughter Nina, accompanied by a narrative voice that skilfully mixes lightness and poetry.

The Room is the kind of production that seems created especially for the tablet.

Although the absence of a dedicated multiplayer mode can cause you to turn your nose up, we cannot help but advise you to purchase the reissue of what is, without a doubt, one of the best chapters in the Call of Duty saga.

Hitman Go is a (not-so-classic) board game, with a "stealth" twist coming from the original series. It's always clever and brilliant.

Quotation forthcoming.

An incredible homage to one of the best manga ever created. A solid beat'em up, not technical as a Street Fighter but deep enough to please the fan of the genre.

In short, it remains a recommended purchase for the nostalgic of the Konami series and for those who love the Metroidvania genre.

A title not to be missed for every lover of "old school" platformers.

Beyond is a particular title, highly recommended to those looking for something different, or anyone who appreciates the approach of Quantic Dream. It's a game capable of evoking powerful emotions.

A great edition even this year, but EA should now consider to change some components in the formula.

Portable version inherits many issues of the "bigger" version, but Tekken finds a new "raison d'etre" in its portability.

Resident Evil 0 is an important chapter for Capcom's most famous saga, and every fan should try it. This HD Remaster is just a good way to do so.

Black Mermaid debuts with a brutal and punitive action but at the same time manages to give great satisfaction once you have learned the different nuances that characterize its gameplay. Moonscars is an adventure with few flaws and boldly draws from the worlds of soulslike and metroidvania to propose a series of interesting solutions, the Moon and temporary enhancements above all, which make every single session almost always unpredictable and exciting.

Inkulinati offers a unique experience capable of masterfully combining tactical elements with a fascinating setting. The mechanics based on medieval "marginalia" are implemented with expertise, giving depth to a gameplay suitable both for strategic veterans and for neophytes willing to immerse themselves in the rules with the patience of a monk scribe. Despite some small flaws in the interface and controls, the work done by the Yaza Games development team shines for its artistic creativity and attention to detail, making Inkulinati an essential title for lovers of the genre.

Repeating the same title that came out fifteen years ago, in an almost slavish way, has done nothing but silence the small but noisy part of the community that, for years, has been clamoring for the origins of Azeroth, annoyed by the excessive simplification of the title.

The game is still fun and intense, just like it was in the past, and It’s equipped with a good graphic restyling. A perfect way to wait for the release of Halo Wars 2.

A great achievement in the immense banquet of the world of PC gaming.

Symphony of the Night is a timeless masterpiece. Both those who loved it madly and the curious inevitably destined to fall in love with it should look with interest at this mobile port.

Quotation forthcoming.

Vanquish is a unique game, with a brilliant gameplay and a stunning graphic style. Its limit is the coin-op style of the structure (all based on the score and on the player skill) that gives nothing apart an exciting but repetitious challenge.

An impressive remake of the first Etrian Odyseey, that adds a lot to the formula, preparing the franchise to a new story-driven evolution.

This chapter confirms Socom as one of the best PSP exclusives.

Strike Vector is a unique, must-consider offering for all those who wish to experience something competitive fast, balanced and damn hard.

With Amnesia: Rebirth, Frictional's philosophy really returns. There is that talent for subtle and psychological horror, which relies on physical and explicit threats just to keep working.

The new features of the gameplay add a further layer of depth to the mechanics of the previous chapters, without affecting the difficulty too much.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a worthwhile way to revisit one of the classic adventures in the series, which, despite some shortcomings, was somewhat underestimated upon its initial release. The remake in the Dragon Engine faithfully reconstructs memorable scenes centered around iconic characters, and it includes welcome additions and a few missed opportunities. It's a shame, however, about a particular narrative choice, which, especially in the way it was presented, we found difficult to accept and which will likely displease long-time fans. On the other hand, Dark Ties effectively enriches the character of Mine, and more generally, the package created by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio offers many hours of good entertainment, even if it's not without filler content and elements that don't quite fit the characters. Yet, there's reason to rejoice: finally, the real Yakuza is back.

After few months in witch our Wiis had been abused by girlfriends and parents, it's time to destroy our Balance Board, hide his battery and take again the Wiimote, thanks to the first big hardcore title from Sega. House of the Dead: Overkill is trash, pulp and wild. It's not only aesthetically perfect, but also a exalting gaming experience. Technically speaking the game is good, despite of some issues regarding framerate, and it's art direction is terrific. For an On Rail shooter, the game structure is very solid and consistent, and the replay value extremely high.

Condensed into thirteen minutes of play, Thirty Flights of Loving is a really interesting story.

Resistance Retribution is a good starting point for the PSP revival. An action game with a frenetic and full immersive gameplay, good technique and a totally new multiplayer structure. A must buy for every PSP owners.

The five maps of this DLC pack are perfectly designed to give players a lot of fun and lots of different experiences throughout all game modes. Skins and ReUP feature gives that special touch that made Fenix Rising a must buy.

Quotation forthcoming.

An excellent RPG, deep and complex, perfect for those who dislike linear experiences and trivial combat system.

Pathfinder Kingmaker is therefore confirmed as a good quality product even on consoles, proving to be able to obscure some of its shortcomings behind a truly impressive amount of content that will undoubtedly fully satisfy the expectations of the diehards of the category.

Only regret that the Miami Collection Hotline renounces to remedy the sporadic programming defects that occurred - and still manifest themselves - during the game. Perhaps the symptom of a little laziness, which however does not have the slightest power to bury the enormous value of a series that has rightly become a cult.

Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition tweaks Super Street Fighter IV in a way that only passionate fans can appreciate. Beside the four new charachter there's a completely different balance for old charachters that gives the game a more "rushy" style of play.

Quotation forthcoming.

The wait was undoubtedly well rewarded, given the results fielded by Wreckfest. A fun arcade racing game, enhanced by a damage system with few equals on consoles and a wide variety of cars, races and tracks. We would have expected some new entries compared to the PC version in circulation for over a year, above all to avoid the risk, in the long run, of a certain repetition in the mechanics of the Career.

Mask of Truth continues to be as good as we had seen in the previous chapters of the series.

Despite presenting the same structural conformation of the episodes published 30 years ago and without trying to correct the slight congenital distortions, Emio, the Smiling Man, offers a story robust and flowing enough to keep players glued for its entire duration, provided that you compromise with an old gameplay concept in which the player's agency is reduced to the minimum terms, and which often results in a banal cycle of trial and error. In any case, this new chapter has once again proven Sakamoto's talent in the narrative field, so if you are passionate about the genre and do not disdain a classic-style visual novel, this is a horror story that you absolutely cannot miss. Who knows, it might even give you an eternal smile.

Persona 5 Strikers is ultimately a must-have title for JRPG fans and for anyone who has loved the epic of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, as well as the last chance to play the role of the charismatic Joker and leave for a long journey among the most beautiful cities in Japan.

It's ample and fun enough, very nice to see and easy to play, just like a title that wants to intercept an audience as wide as possible.

ARC Squadron is a good alternative to the classic Japanese shoot'em up reported to the success from companies such as CAVE, right on the iOS platforms.

An old school arcade game, that emerges not only for the shiny graphic. A simple gameplay that can deeply entertain hardcore gamers and '80 maniacs.

Capsized is the clear demonstration that 2D titles still have a lot to say, in terms of graphic and artistic fascinations and pure fun.

A must for fans of pure RTS. Sengoku does not allow compromise, no chance for error, only patience, strategy and application.

It's more and more a saga that clings to its hardcore fans: the campaign feels somehow tired and overcomplicated, and the cooperative doesn't add a real challenge to the mix. On the other hand, Treyarch shows once more its unique ability to master the competitive multiplayer and fill it with content, with noteworthy resuslts.

Inspired and captivating, Little Nightmares II fits smoothly and coherently in the wake of its predecessor, intelligently and stylishly expanding the story to a perverse and distressing, yet at the same time almost irresistible, dimension.

Episode Ignis remains a good DLC. While inheriting some problems from the original game, the combat system revisited to adapt to the skills of Ignis is dynamic and pleasant, and the ideas to liven up the progression are not lacking.

The underlying concept is delightful and its application is applause: there is a lot, a lot of inventiveness in the way in which always new and stimulating situations are proposed, daughters of a creative inspiration that embellishes what is still very effectively. a basic play structure, but not for this thin one. It lacks depth, but it is a defect that weighs relatively, because in what it wants to do, celebrating with joy the most fervent imagination, the childish one, is instead fully successful; and with such a transport that it also reaches us who are mature.

Gunpoint borders on puzzle game genera without fear, giving us a great crossing of genres, short but intense.

A new, interesting and fun-filled adventure for Hearthstone. Fans of the game will spend some great time with the PVE content, and the new cards will surely impact the meta in still unpredictable ways.

Links' n Launch is an original puzzle game. The main mode will test player's reflexes and ability to move objects in space, while the puzzle mode contains 100 intricate logic diagrams.

Quotation forthcoming.

It expands on the original background, and somehow manages to fix some of the few issues of the main chapter, namely linearity. A great DLC, which you should absolutely consider if you loved Outlast.

If you are newbies and want to throw yourself headlong on this challenge, do it without fear, you will not be disappointed.

Survival Horror at its best. Old style gameplay, for a distressing and surreal adventure.

SoldnerX-2 is one of the best scrolling shooter created in this generation. It may be, for hardcore gamers who comes from 80's, too easy, but it's thrilling and compelling.

WWE '12 is one of the best wrestling simulations made in this generation, with lots of content and a well-balanced gameplay. The only remorse is poor hit box implementation.

Highly recommended to all fans of the genre Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a simple but great arcade driving game.

The Dennaton Games title is a fascinating and magnetic action game, which captures and enhances anyone who wants to explore the dramatic and angry perversions of its protagonist.

The result is entertainment with no playful frills but absolutely brilliant, which in its run out rather quickly will still make the admirers of manifestly “meta” digital productions happy; a space within which TERRORbane, from here on, will certainly be among the leading exponents.

Frantic, thrilling, fast-paced. A classic Trackmania with a good control scheme and an impressive number of trials.

A great adaptation.

The new sandbox by Ubisoft enhances the gameplay of its predecessor, improving every respect of the formula. Yet, the narrative mood is often excessive and gross.

Despite boasting an excellent cast of characters (with the exception of Asbel himself) and a combat system second only to the more recent Tales of Arise, during the PS3 era Tales of Graces f was not particularly well received by Western audiences, for reasons that we still struggle to fully understand. Although the remaster added relatively little to the original offering, such as the Japanese dubbing and some quality of life improvements, we are of the opinion that the multiplatform re-release of Tales of Graces f was more than necessary. Sixteen years after its debut on Nintendo Wii (a version never marketed on our side of the globe) and thirteen since the launch of the European edition for PlayStation 3, this time the story, the protagonists, the extraordinary combat system and last but not least the soundtrack of Tales of Graces could realistically win over fans of the genre and of Bandai Namco's franchise, which have also increased thanks to the most recent episodes. If you missed it back then, now is the perfect time to give it (and yourself) a second chance.

Full of pathos, well orchestrated and absolutely epic (but at the same time cryptic), Crimson Shroud will attract its target audience, keeping away all other types of gamers.

Grounded is a product that knows how to be delicious in its genuineness. Leaving aside the narrative sector that will hardly be able to conquer you and a technical level not in line with that of modern productions, on a playful level the Obsidian title is able to entertain players of any kind and harness them with its multiple options within a world full of different biomes, with many activities to do and an avalanche of objects to collect and analyze. A small, large world in which to immerse yourself with the smile of a child.

The magical city of Costantinopoli is the center stage Revelations, the last chapter of Ezio's trilogy. Another great historical adventure by Ubisoft.

EscapeVecktor is a simple and thrilling puzzle-maze game that evolves its gameplay dynamics along the adventure development. An authentic "game drug".

RiME is a unique journey of exploration, reflection, contemplation.

The hope is that that "To be continued" at the end of the game can lead to a more substantial second chapter, which perhaps stimulates newbies to rediscover the universe of Record of Lodoss War. It really deserves it.

Resident Evil 6 is not a classic Resident Evil. It's not a Survival Horror: it's a Third Person Shooter with his own peculiar pace. This will prevent many old-school fans from considering it a decent installment in the series. Anyhow, the formula works in the long run, and this new chapter provides more than 20 hours of thrilling action.

Tales of Kenzera: Zau is yet more proof that the metroidvania genre can offer great satisfaction, whatever story you try to tell. The one written by Surgent is a story of loss and revenge which, also thanks to the immense charm of the chosen setting, will remain seared in your memory for a long time. Not all the playful elements of the combat system seemed equally effective to us, and we would have liked more depth into Zuberi's character. That said, if you're a fan of the genre or just want to enjoy a good story, then you shouldn't miss it.

Silent Hill gives its best in this disturbing and psychological adventure. Even on Psp the reboot is great.

An essential download for all Apple Arcade subscribers.
