It's a game that you've basically already played, by the name of Black Flag. That doesn't mean everything is to despise in this more of the same, namely a lot of gameplay content, some good action sequences and a couple of interesting assassinations.

Book of Demons is a game that manages, albeit with some difficulty, to welcome the players little accustomed to the genre towards hours of healthy hack 'n' slash shear-devils.

It does not justify its too high pricing.

It lacks content (unless you pay for it) and it lasts just a couple of hours. No go, unless you are the most hardcore fan.

It's another great DLC for Tamriel Online. There's a lot of PVE content this time, but the massive side is a bit less intense. It's interesting though how, compared to Imperial City, this is a completely different expansion.

You can have a lot of fun tinkering with the car's trim, you can spend hours changing your car's livery, and some chase with the police will no doubt be remarkable, but beyond this Heat it remains a Need For Speed ​​without too much momentum.

While A New Beginning shines in the inspired art-style, the clever puzzles and the interesting story, it fails without hope in the crackling and weird sound, the lack of support for widescreen and the persistent crash-bugs that leads to utter frustration.

It's fascinating but unbalanced, and fun can sometimes easily turn into frustration.

Amongst the hallucinatory explosion storms, some shaded platform phases are also shaded, which make it even less convenient and intuitive to aim with the right precision.

Assassin’s Creed III: Remastered brings with it the flaws of the original, but has made some improvements both in terms of graphics and gameplay.

The idea is sound, but gameplay and graphics are not enough to compete with the WWE videogames.

Rayman 3 HD suffers from an obvious aging. Nevertheless it remains a fun and enjoyable platform. Especially recommended for those who did not played it in 2003.

Prinny: Can I really be the Hero is a nice surprise in the dull PSP Line Up. Nippon Ichi game rises from the crowd thanks to a nice graphical design and an “old style” gameplay. Even if it doesn’t stands for it’s originality, the good variety and the nice art design make Prinny a valid game. Probably, the intense difficulty will discourage casual gamers.

Inazuma Eleven 3 represents a good football-RPG characterized by a well-designed gameplay and by a plot far more successful than the second episode.

Although the graphics look dated and the loss of the touch screen comes with some hiccups, it's still one hell of a ride for survival fans.

We must admit that we are not completely satisfied.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector doesn't shine in any of its key aspects, but is well represented by the sum of its parts. It is a solid strategy, developed with competence and with a sense of proportion, with which experts of the genre will immediately find themselves at ease. The impression that he is missing a few pieces is still there, and we would have gladly exchanged part of the long campaign for a more in-depth progression system or a management component. Those simply looking for "yet another Warhammer 40,000 strategy" may have found it.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Last Faith is a soulslike metroidvania with many strengths and weaknesses. An experience that oscillates between satisfying and frustrating due to a somewhat lazy level design and, above all, an incorrect balance of the forces in play. Sometimes there are too many enemies in a small space, Bosses who are too resistant, or poorly distributed checkpoints. However, the not too high price, the inspired artistic direction, the many beautiful pixel art models are good incentives to give the game a chance, especially if you are passionate about the genre.

Massive Chalice is not perfect, ad the managing elements are repetitive and the combat system is sometimes unbalanced, but it's still an engaging and deep experience.

Arcade Paradise is practically a matryoshka, because inside a superstructure of managerial inspiration it puts many different experiences, both on the playful and purely artistic front. He does it in a convincing way, also thanks to his ability to know how to wink at long-time players and the many small tributes to the 90s. The problem, however, is that this superstructure becomes almost negligible after a few hours, because it lacks significant novelties and interesting variables. In any case, if you are nostalgic for arcades and want to spend time in a laundry full of virtual worlds, give Arcade Paradise a peaceful chance.

An old fashioned arcade game, colorful and funny like games from Sega used to be.

Nintendo Switch Sports promises roughly what you imagine: giving some surprises in some cases, making a thread turn up your nose for its abstruse narrowness in some others, but in general confirming itself at 360 °. All in all, however, one thought can be affirmed with certainty: if you had enjoyed yourself a dozen years ago, you will return to do so even today. Perhaps even with more taste than expected, because at the base of this collection of mini-games there are intriguing and much less trivial gameplay solutions than it seems, however, packaged in an excellent package to look at and listen to. If, on the other hand, this weird all-motion control madness wasn't your thing then, it will be nearly impossible to somehow make you change your mind today.

Net of some gameplay issues that make Avatar Frontiers of Pandora a sometimes wasted opportunity, Massive Entertainment's latest effort is the perfect product for taking a virtual journey through the lands of Pandora. In fact, it is a game that boasts extreme fidelity to the IP, both in terms of how the world is built and how the characters are characterized. In short, the most avid fans of James Cameron's films will be able to appreciate this aspect of the experience and turn a blind eye to the defects.

The first work of Spiral Circus Games does not last long but succeeds in offering an enveloping journey.

Suda51 tries to find the recipe for a perfect souls-like, but misses the correct dosage of the main ingredients: Let it Die is clearly unbalanced, and the ineffective mix of survival and roguelike diminish the ambitions of this pulp adventure.

This remastered edition doesn't solve the main issues with the main game. It's still an engaging, different and fun survival experience, but you won't find anything worthy of the title "remastered" here.

This remastered edition of the three Ezio's adventures shows many a technical weaknesses, and the graphic additions in Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood only partially improve the overall quality of visuals.

Rain cannot reinvent itself, but instead delivers a usual gameplay from start to finish, in a driven and linear adventure. The sense of wonder that comes in the early stages tends to stall, washed away by a heavy rain.

It's an interesting game for RPG and trading card game fans. The gameplay isn't deep enough to be considered compelling, but it still delivers some interesting and original ideas.

PressPlay delivers a smart platform with intriguing puzzles and a stunning look. It is too short, maybe, but really solid.

One wonders if it is worthwhile to enjoy a few minutes of nice parodic slings at the cost of enduring very insignificant hours of play.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is the tie-in that the fans deserve: a game imbued with a visceral passion for the shōnen, rich in content and fun to play online.

Dirt Showdown is an unexpected exploit. Thanks to an accessible gameplay, this arcade racing game is exciting and thrilling. Fast, rich in content and technically brilliant.

Beautiful to see, rich in content and graphics options, as well as managed with passion and great attention to detail, the last effort of the Hungarian Neocore Games offers a lot of fun.

A traditional but incisive gameplay and clever narrative devices make it a must buy for any fan of Neptune, as well as a good JRPG for lovers of the genre.

We hope that the next gen will bring a breath of fresh air to a series that needs to overcome some historical flaws. The air in the locker room starts to get heavy.

John Carpenter's Toxic Commando reimagines a tried-and-true formula, transporting it to a new open-world setting where the Swarm Engine's capabilities once again demonstrate their effectiveness in managing hordes. The result is a riot of blood, bullets, gasoline, and ignorance that will delight anyone looking to spend an evening hunting zombies with friends. When everything runs smoothly, Saber Interactive's title effectively conveys the feeling of being in the middle of one of those apocalyptic films where the only priority is surviving yet another wave of the undead. However, the game's offerings, as they stand, are far too limited and quickly become repetitive. The project's underlying structure is solid and shows promise, but new content will be needed to transform Toxic Commando into something more than a fun cooperative shooter for a couple of evenings.

The Dark Pictures Anthology resumes its journey grounded in certain constants—its horror roots, its focus on plot and character, and its narrative branching—but also introduces significant new elements, chief among them a fresh setting and revamped gameplay mechanics. Unfortunately, this ambition to innovate was not fully realized; the stealth mechanics in *Directive 8020* prove too rudimentary to sustain the sheer volume of sequences that rely on them, while the sci-fi setting remains anchored to stylistic conventions so ordinary that they prevent the title from standing out from the crowd. The narrative fails to build the sense of gravity that ought to define a mission to save the entire human race, though it recovers slightly thanks to a body-horror-infused finale and an intriguing concluding twist. The new map system, based on "Turning Points," is a godsend for completionists, who can finally explore every nook and cranny of the story without having to needlessly replay entire chapters; meanwhile, on the graphics and performance front, Supermassive has done a solid job, despite the lackluster nature of the art design.

Wornwood Studios has developed a great adventure game in retro style, based on the history of Horatio Nullbuilt v5 and his robotic creature, Crispin, living in a planet inhabited only by robots. The game offers a new interesting plot about the science fiction universe in a post-human scenario trying to explain the truth about the last Era and the Creator.

Wolfenstein is a good game even without excel in gameplay or graphics or story telling. The single player was impressive (long, funny) but the multiplayer lacks in quality and gives real satisfactions only to old fans of the brand.

The second adventure has the bitter taste of a wasted opportunity.

Thanks to a level of difficulty calibrated downwards, we recommend purchasing it to those who up to now have kept away from Nioh and more generally from soulslike ones, as they are intimidated by the high level of challenge that distinguishes the genre. With the support of companions and the difficulty selector, on the contrary Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin could be the perfect opportunity to try something new and broaden your gaming horizons.

A nice approach to the MMORPG genre, but the game needs a patch to solve the early problems regarding the growth of the characters.

Romeo is a DeadMan is a product that has sparked deep reflection in us: we're happy that a figure like SUDA51 is still active in the global gaming scene and that he's still capable of infusing his creations with such a recognizable stylistic imprint, but it's also true that Grasshopper Manufacture seems anchored in an outdated, almost anachronistic, game development philosophy that needs a breath of fresh air to compete, or even survive, in the ever-changing action genre. While on the one hand, we find a manneristically varied yet solid gameplay structure and an artistic direction that oozes style from every pore, on the other, we must point out a less than rosy situation in terms of level design and the presence of poorly crafted gameplay devices.

Two new locations and some minor tweaks doesn't add much to the core experience.

Papo & Yo is a beautiful game. Because is intimate and personal, and clearly demonstrates that the software is a media infinitely ductile, and can tell life stories and turn them into interactive worlds.

The Inner World is a classic point and click adventure with two-dimensional graphic. With some interesting theme and a technical achievement above the average, The Inner World missing a couple of goals that would been able to transform the graphic adventure from a simple game for enthusiasts, to a must-have title.

A deep plot and dramatic, and interesting characters, make Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness a must-have for any fans of the original series and of visual novels.

Tiny Trax is a successful arcade game that exploits the potential of the VR at its best but can still impress, at least during the first races.

The Raven has the unquenchable charm of a beautiful literary mystery of yesteryear, or those movies where the crime was investigated with a rigor and a composure that much contemporary cinema seems to be abhorring.

The Witcher: Monster Slayer is a respectable product, absolutely up to the standards of CD Projekt RED (despite the development being entrusted to the subsidiary Spokko), and able to give dozens and dozens of hours and walks to the players.

The Alien Cube is not a perfect product, but it is impossible not to evaluate it taking into consideration both its budget price (19.99 euros on Steam), and the fact that it was developed by only one person. If you are willing to turn a blind eye to poor quality dubbing and some imperfection that involves both the gameplay and the technical sector, this game will guarantee you a handful of hours of fun in a world that any fan of H. P. Lovecraft would love to madness.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a good survival horror game, but probably not what many fans of the saga would have expected.

A classic Tower Defence with a tweak of action. Full of references to the cartoon series.

It is sometimes even able to shine with its own light, succeeding in refreshing the sensations generated by a genre that in recent years has known too many emulsions and a few really original works.

After a curious and intriguing beginning on all fronts, from the gameplay to the narrative, the experience of Apex Construct becomes canonical, not very innovative and monotonous.

The beating heart of Yurukill is to be found in the visual novel component, intriguing even if at times verbose and repetitive, while the point and click inspiration from the escape room fails to affect with its bare backdrops and the boyish simplicity of the puzzles to be solved.

Whoever wanted a revolution, not just in the plot but in gameplay terms, will be disappointed. Trying to make combat and parkour more complex and compelling, Ubisoft Montreal overlooked some complications, and that's a shame, since it will show in every aspect of the gameplay. On the other hand, the digital version of the revolutionary Paris is stunning, and there's a lot to play, so fans of the brand will have their fair share of entertainment.

Rayman: 30th Anniversary is a great re-release marred by the inexplicable absence of the original soundtrack. Rayman is a true classic that, despite its extreme difficulty, remains a very fun and surprisingly beautiful title, and this new edition offers almost all of its versions, well emulated with good image filters, multiple accessibility options, and a selection of extras with exceptional documentary and historical value. But all this good work, without something as important and fundamental as Rémi Gazel's score to complete the experience, ultimately falls flat and greatly diminishes its overall value.

It's a peculiar and dark experience. Although none of its many parts lives up to the expectations, the mix still has something.

Years after the release of the previous iteration of the Monsters genre, The Dark Prince had the opportunity to modernize the historic playful formula of the spin-off and ferry it towards still unexplored lands. Despite the predictions, however, the development team seems to have almost completely given up on the idea of renewing the monster recruitment mechanics and above all the product's combat system, which appears tired and dated. Leaving aside the uncertainties of the performances, which we hope will be circumvented as soon as possible with a corrective patch, the bitterest pills are represented by the choice to make Psaro a silent protagonist and by a hasty screenplay, which in our opinion do not do justice to the dramatic story of one of the most charismatic antagonists of the entire saga. In short, the Lord of Monstrosity deserved treatment more in keeping with his worth.

The second stage of the Borderlands 3 Season Pass proves however capable of offering eight hours of ballistic fury and laughter, among the links of a DLC that, while not reaching the glories of the past, is solid and enjoyable.

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.

An accustoming gameplay, good graphics and an interesting story deliver a strong RPG system overall with a wide selection of skills, despite some minor flaws.

Interesting in co-op, practically unplayable in single player, Forced is an fair action game, than unfortunately lacks style and diversity.

A step forward in the series. Interesting minigames and original game modes.

Master of Alchemy Vengeance Front is a good iteration of the brand created by the guys at DarkWave Games.

Pricey as usual, but filled with interesting content. If you're a Sims fan, you might consider this one.

Rise Of Iron is the best Destiny's DLC. PvE campaign is immersive, solid, and culminates in a great Raid; guardians progression is well structured, and the new PvP mode is way more entertaining than the old Fracture.

Hextech Mayhem will keep you busy for a few hours, and at a budget price of just under 10 euros, it was hard to ask for more.

From the Ashes is, in some ways, what Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora should and could have been. Ubisoft's expansion is hands down the best content available for the game, thanks to a more interesting protagonist, a more engaging story, and significantly more refined and enjoyable gameplay. If you already enjoyed the initial adventure or want to experience something as close as possible to "Fire and Ashes," we highly recommend playing this DLC.

An imperfect lucid recipe.

An enjoyable experience, essentially, especially for all the "devotees" of the reference genre.

Quotation forthcoming.

Everything has seemed to us very diluted, schematic and, at times, even unjustifiably hasty.

Warriors Orochi 4 is an interesting offer, but not completely adequate to the needs of the series.

For the more dedicated fans, or newbies willing to discover a glorious saga ready to relaunch, however, it will take a little more motivation to justify the € 30 required, perhaps not just a few for a review of gaming history certainly appreciated, but not then so essential.

Quotation forthcoming.

A fascinating and entertaining game.

One of the best features of the canonical chapters lies in the ability of the game to adapt to the times of real life: the shift from day to night, the scandal of seasons, the commemorated parties and all the little attentions that have made millions fall in love.

A gigantic and amusing game, whose adrenaline and multifaceted gameplay unexpectedly marries well with the rules of VR.

Fist of the North Star is a bit of a missed opportunity: a great combat system and an abidance of content are stunted by a weak storyline and by sometimes unsatisfactory sub quests.

Compared to the "basic" PAC-MAN Museum, in Plus there is little more than a few playable new entries and a vaguely more sumptuous dress. Nothing to justify a possible repurchase, and it is worth asking whether even users less accustomed to the worlds of Pac-Man, in the absence of that "museum" value that the title promises, can find satisfaction in the face of a handful of episodes that, probably , they will not be able to entertain for more than a few hit and run sessions.

Ultimately, All's Justice is a better sequel than One's Justice 2 in many respects... but it's still not the definitive My Hero Academia game. It seems that the Byking team's efforts focused primarily on respectfully adapting the source material, as the Story Mode, Team-Up Missions, and side episodes offer many hours of gameplay with Heroes and Villains. Secondly, it's clear that from a gameplay perspective, this is the best installment in the series: the fights are more understandable, the animations are smoother, and the impacts are more believable. Unfortunately, the game falls short in a fundamental aspect of the experience, namely the richness of content related to fan service: too few alternate outfits, too few stages, and a rather cumbersome customization system.

Old fashioned RPG, with many elements similar to Skyes of Arcadia and Wild Arms.

At a purely content level, this is not a very rich experience, but the unusual gameplay and the highly competitive price (15.99 euros) make it an independent title not to underestimate.

The title is, in fact, a more than discrete but a little too simple survival that, unfortunately, stumbles on a decidedly elementary control system and on a basic repetitiveness in the crafting and exploratory mechanics that, in the long run, can bore.

Aeterna Noctis is a product that is all in all enjoyable, but one that wastes the potential in the useless attempt to chase Hollow Knight too closely. The good artistic direction, the excellent combat system and the well-conceived boss fights end up being suffocated by a linear and tedious progression, a victim in turn of the desire to fill the game with content even when there is no need for it. A great pity, because if the team had managed to effectively streamline the proposal and better balance its components, we would have had a much more satisfying title on our hands.

Serial Cleaner has proven to be a very well-managed title under multiple profiles.

Rush of Blood is a simple on-rail shooter. It is an interesting introduction to virtual reality, but nothing more. The (few) hours spent with it, however, are sufficiently scary and entertaining.

Just Dance has a simple and winning concept.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Cave is a unique title, difficult to categorize. All who's looking for something different and original do not let themselves miss the opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere of least Double Fine game.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus is undoubtedly a great action game but those who played other iterations of the series will find nothing new here.

Open Me! is the puzzle game that you do not expect. Backed by simple idea, offers a stimulating experience for everyone.

Net of excessive linearity and some uncertainty in the gameplay, Batora Lost Haven is a pleasant adventure that keeps players glued to the screen, eager to find out how the epic story of Avril around the galaxy will end. The journey of the heroine from Earth is studded with ingenious puzzles, dangerous enemies and difficult choices, which can be experienced in full thanks to a second game in New Game Plus, which guarantees a few more hours of play and allows without too many problems to complete the game 100%.
