The Climb is a successful experiment, which opens up new possibilities in virtual reality gaming.

Madden NFL 17 refines the gameplay and the structure of his predecessor. It's a rich chapter, that can finally say goodbye to chronic flaws of the series.

Grow Up is larger, more beautiful and more entertaining than Grow Home. But we have to deal with a very complex control system that requires dedication to be appreciated.

Mankind Divided works from almost every point of view, from the excellent narrative to the solid gameplay. The title is essential for those who have just Human Revolution, and for cyberpunk lovers.

F1 2016 is better than its predecessor, thanks to a range of innovations expected by all fans: the return of Career, a better complexity of the race weekend, the inclusion of the pit stops and a better AI.

Bound is a strange title. It's not a platform, neither a walking simulator. Is a game that values aesthetics over any other aspects, and for this reason in beautiful, different and flimsy.

The overall structure of Brut@l is well designed, and procedural generation of the dungeons is good enough to present sufficiently varied floors. Unfortunately a the combat system is soporific and too simplified to entertain.

No Man's Sky has no real flaws (except the star maps, really a disaster), but many limitations, but often due to his youth. It seems now clear that the objective of Sean Murray is to create another phenomenon a la Minecraft. The designer has already announced the arrival of terrestrial resources, the ability to build our own bases, even larger ships. Moreover, in a similar game structure you can add anything, including new variables, new land, new formulas to make things even more varied and surprising. No Man's Sky is not only gameplay, but there is something more, and that something is hidden in each of us.

Edge of Nowhere is a VR experience with an impressive start, but after few hours the adventures weakens, reproducing the same situations for over and over again.

Ducati 90th Anniversary - The Videogame is recommended for all Ducati fans, or for true motorcycle enthusiasts, but it won't satisfy who is looking for a solid and balanced experience.

An effective style and a good pacing. Not all scenes are built with the same attention, but the main character models are wonderful, and the plot seems to have a dark twist we are eager to explore.

Abzu is an interactive exposure of wonderful underwater nature, concentrated but memorable. However, the game is still missing an important message, a sort of subtext that can impress the player. It remains an important debut for a young team that will be able to achieve great things, with a little more experience.

Hawken wasn't born under a lucky star, and carries on Ps4 many of the problems of the troubled PC version.

Chronos is an interesting adventure, that tries to adapt a classic format to the new Virtual Reality language. It has also some innovative features related to character progression, that shines above any other aspects of the game.

Tumblestone is a nice three match game, with some original ideas and a great longevity. Despite that the artistic design is poor and the game it's totally overpriced.

Necropolis is saved by a strong sense of challenge, and by the resource management system, the only mechanism that meets happily with procedural design of the production.

Ghosbusters is the perfect recipe for boredom. There is nothing wrong in its basic mechanics, but the pace is soporific, the level design is too linear, and the situations are the same over the entire course of the story. It is, in the end, a gaming monster to flee from, no matter what.

Same old Pro Cycling Manager: the great managing experience is counterbalanced by a mediocre technical realization that, once again, stresses the team's inability to renew its creature.

Zombie Night Terror is a brilliant puzzle game, packed with care and attention to details.

Pokemon Go is not a great game. Some important features are missing and bugs are way too frequent. Still, the social implications of Niantic's app are impressive. This game has changed forever the augmented reality market and reshaped the mobile gaming landscape.

Lucky's Tale is not a traditional platform. Is the demonstration that Virtual Reality can enhance even the classic genres and speak its own interactive language. A great start for Oculus Rift's Line Up.

I Am Setsuna is a nostalgic JRPG: it takes Chrono Trigger's gameplay and puts it into a fascinating setting. The adventure is brief but enthralling, and the game represents a great debut for the Tokyo RPG Factory, a little Team Square-Enix assembled to create old school game experiences.

Kill Strain was conceived as an "asymmetric MOBA" with a Twin Stick control scheme. It is an unbalanced battle arena with a sloppy graphic and an impressive scarcity of contents.

Insomniac Games delivers a traditional Metroidvania with a pleasant atmosphere and an intelligent use of backtracking. Song of the Deep is a solid adventure, with some memorable boss fights and a complex level design.

Francisco returns on the scene with another metroidvania, adding, in order to renew the genre, rogue-like elements. The result is satisfying but imperfect, especially as regards the balance. It represents a shooter inspired exponent of the genre, with a slight irony that lies underneath and involves the player. If you’re a fan, you’d better have a look at it.

Kinect has been an unlucky device. Fru is a real masterpiece, a brilliant game everyone should try and share. Through Games delivers Kinect's Killer App: too bad they are few years late.

Monster Hunter X is, in the end, another Monster Hunter. You can definitely recognize the old mechanics, but the context is brand new. This new chapter is way more accessible, has a great sense of progression, a cool new features to entertain old and new fans.

Carmageddon remains an unique game, worthy of your attention even if you weren’t there when the original one came out. It may be graphically not excellent, but Max Damage is full of modes, has a long campaign, three difficulty levels and a really working online mode. If you want to have fun in front of your tv without complications, although a few slow loadings may turn your nose up, Max Damage will surely do.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the umpteenth demonstration of the unfortunate union between gamepad and strategic games. The developers have thought of a great product, with many potentialities on paper. The title is destroyed by the bad mapping of controls and a not so impressive technical realization.

Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival is not a bad game, its gameplay, surprisingly, still works. But it’s meaningless and poor. Kick Off didn’t deserve this kind of revival.

Le Tour de France 2016 follows the promising way it entered last season, with a great number of races that will test your skills as team manager. Unfortunately still mediocre on the technical side.

There is no reason for you to play Umbrella Corps. There isn’t if you’re a shooter game fan, because there is a low number of options and contents, and the online infrastructure is unstable. There isn’t even if you’re a Resident Evil fan: the only association to the series is the map design, that resembles some of the places of the main chapters.

Dangerous Golf is able to entertain for a determined amount of time, that starts when we understand how the sequence of shots work, and ends when we realize that levels are way too similar to each other, and scores are totally random. During these few hours, Dangerous Golf tries to impress and involve the player with explosions and destruction, but it never totally convinces.

Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is the definitive remake: it improves the best parts of the original game while correcting almost all of its faults. It is made strong by an awesome art direction, together with an exciting storyline and an endearing gameplay: a must-have for RPG fans.

Neon Drive is a lightweight arcade pastime, clearly retro-inspired due to its sounds, appearance and intuitive gameplay mechanics. However, its difficulty level becomes brutal and excessive after the first stage, forcing the players to proceed between trials and errors, and risking to unnerve them in few minutes.

This Director’s Cut is able to perfect the already excellent Tequila Works game, by adding a series of graphic effects that can fit the current console standards. New lights, new animations make the zombie world more “lively”, and oppressive. Gameplay and storyline remain unchanged, excepted from the new Survival Mode, which cannot stand against a very limited longevity though. Nevertheless, Deadlight is a game not to be missed.

Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force is not for everyone. If on one hand we have a great combat system, on the other we find a lack of content in the history, so we suggest it to Compile Heart e Hyperdimension Neptunia fans. However, the presence of new stories and characters makes it attractive for who has completed it on PlayStation 3, too.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE has proved to be a surprising game. The gameplay is definitely the most interesting part of it, because it's frantic and really fun. We particularly recommend it to all of JRPG players in general, especially to fans of Persona and the Shin Megami Tensei series.

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is a fair product. It still shows some quality difference between the various disciplines, and its AI is not well balanced, but it's worth to play it with friends or family, as it can give moments of fun and lightheartedness with its multiplayer mode.

Valentino Rossi The Game needs more care for aesthetic, the driving system is not perfect and still suffers from some physical inaccuracies. However, the game has accomplished a big result: it is not a plain racing game, it's a game about passion for racing.

Mighty No. 9 is an extremely niche product. The efforts of the developers do not reflect the millionaire crowdfunding campaign that gave birth to the game, but the final result is still more than decent and can be really fun for those who love this videogame genre.

A Portal to Mystery is a brave and light episode, eccentric but well built. Minecraft Story Mode is starting to suffer a bit of fatigue, but this episode seems like willing to show a first attempt to change, which was quite necessary for the series.

Sherlock Holmes-The Devil’s Daughter is born from below, affected by a quite limited financial investment, which can be seen through its weak technical part. Yet, it has tried to remedy to this lack by offering an excellent gaming variety, with a less linear and more compelling progress. It is a small but necessary step forward for this franchise.

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.

Catalyst is not a flawless reboot, but it remains a very deep experience, filled with well-designed quests and interesting secondary activities; most of all, the game takes advantage of the environment in a clever way, making it strongly interactive for the players.

Turmoil is an extremely simple game, and this is why it can keep the players tied to the screen for hours. On the other hand, repetitiveness is around the corner and despite the variety of situations faced in each level, you won't probably start a new campaign after finishing your first playthrough.

Agent 47 operates in a credible and consistent context, where reality, narrative licenses and pure fantasy converge in a perfect balance. Maybe it will not represent Io-Interactive’s final goal, but it can be considered as a great way forward to secure a bright future for our charismatic nameless assassin.

It looks like Burning Blood has been conceived for the original series fans to to have thrilling challenges against the CPU, in which they can appreciate the the great number of special moves and spectacular techniques. The game presents a rather concentrate main mode and not so interesting secondary options.

A frenzied pace, a deep gameplay and a high level of difficulty: these are the ingredients of Downwell, a solid and brilliant videogame, which is still unable to get completely rid of its mobile origins, though.

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.

Brainy Studio has created a platform with a good dose of originality and experimentation, with bits of adventure and rhythm game mechanics. A good formula that manages to capture the player’s attention, but it’s however, weakened by the lack of challenge and a series of tedious and quite frustrating musical levels. Anyway, TurnOn proves to be a pleasant, bizarre and curious gaming experience.

Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide land on PC, PS4 and XBO, matched with the readjustments made by improving the technical component. The high definition new look of the game is supported by Chrome Engine’s latest version, which enhances the wonderful setting made by Techland.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada lets the player dispose of tens of thousands people at a time in battle, and the micro-management is no less complex. It appears as an excellent digital transposition of the original boardgame, and it also represents a great first test for the newborn development studio – Tindalos Interactive.

Slain! is in the middle between its beautiful atmosphere and its problematic gameplay, which is unable to fully valorize it. The biggest problem lies in its structure, enjoyable but still wasted if compared to the game's potential.

Leaving behind the renowned lands of Gamindustri, Idea Factory and Compile Heart present a new IP. Trillion: God of Destruction is a confused mixture of interesting ideas, a good starting point for a series but nothing more than this.
