Being an unusual comedy-game, Jazzpunk is a funny and different experience.

Dark Souls 2 is a true masterpiece, and one of the best Action RPG of this generation. Extremely difficult and yet always rewarding, it shows an impressive "lore" and a finely balanced gameplay.

This HD Remaster edition has an impressive amount of redesigned and unpublished contents, and a compelling graphics update.

An interesting 2D moba, full of content and characters even if not as deep as the great masterpieces of the genre.

Rure fan-service. Too bad that the hack'n'slash-style of gameplay doesn't work well, and it's too simple and repetitious.

Despite the title, this is not a proper museum, but a collection of nine titles most of which did not age so well.

Even on Xbox 360, despite some a graphic downgrade, World of Tanks delivers the same solid experience.

This second episode is way better than the first one. After a very slow initial session, narration starts to flow and the plot shows its real potential.

A good action RPG: maybe a little too simple and with a basic growth system, it can be interesting for old time fans and newcomers.

A great edition for a great game. Dead Nation is still one of the most interesting scrolling shooter available on the market, and the new broadcast + game mode is pure genius.

After few experiments with Wii Sports Club and Wii Karaoke U, Nintendo understands how free-to-play should be done, and publish a good multiplayer game with his own peculiar pace. Unfortunately there are too few maps and options.

This should be a grindhouse version of Bomberman, but the game is poor, tantalized by netcode and matchmaking problems, and in the end a very discouraging arcade.

PopCap Games reinvents its most famous brand, and turn it in a funny multiplayer shooter, with both cooperative and competitive game modes. It is not revolutionary, but it's still solid and genuinely entertaining.

Jeff Minter is developing the same game since the 1981. This time, on PsVita, he delivers a rock solid "tube shooter".

Horizon has some good ideas, but no identity at all. Key features of the genre are missing, and the experience is poor and incomplete.

Dustforce is a unusual and brilliant scrolling videogame, starring a task force of powerful janitors. With broom and vacuum cleaner, we will sweep the game levels by all sorts of garbage. Cleaning has never been so fun.

Seriously?

Titanfall offers unique gameplay within a genre, namely online shooters, that really needed something new. It's fast-paced but not schizophrenic, and many of its subtleties will require time and practice to come out in the open. On the other hand, this noteworthy step forward in gameplay depth should've been supported by a wider offering in terms of game modes, an aspect in which the game falls surprisingly short.

It's far from flawless, but The Stick Of Truth is indeed one of the best tie-ins ever. Great screenplay from Parker and Stone and a surprising amount of care in game design from Obsidian make this an experience that, while might not offering a challenge, surely achieves its primary goal. Makes you laugh, and entertains for all of its considerable duration.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 isn't a complete disappointment, yet it makes very clear how difficult it is to accomplish a good sequel, especially when you need to please both the hardcore fans and the masses. The switch from fixed camera angles to freeview adds some hiccups in the game mechanics, while stealth, platforming and unimaginative boss fights often spoil the fun. There must be a great sequel hidden down there, but it's seldom seen during the 10+ hour of hack'n'slashing.

Eidos Montreal's take on Garret and the City comes as a surprise when you consider the hardcore stealth gameplay. On the other hand, newcomers and casual players also can have their fun, granted by the very well-thought difficulty system. The storytelling is quite disappointing, and story missions are definitely too linear in many aspects, but secondary quests and thieving in general are well developed and solid, making this game an interesting choice for all the stealth fans out there, despite its shortcomings.

An awesome "metroidvania" experience, long and compelling, focused on a fast paced action.

Another amazing platform for WiiU. It may not have the same elegance of the last Super Mario, but it's creative, colorful and extremely various.

This disappointing second DLC confirms the trend, that of utter indolence from the developers. There's not much new, save a couple of weapons and a new main character, and no particular reasons whatsoever to bother with this DLC unless you're a total fan of the original game.

If you're really interested in the saga, you'll probably want to give this a try, but, on the other hand, gameplay and graphics haven't received any upgrade at all. If you've already played Inazuma Eleven 3, there are practically no reasons to be interested in this edition.

It owes much to Monster Hunter, but it still has its own way of delivering interesting content. Also, the lasting appeal is fair, if you can accept some repetitive mission.

As its main character, it tries to hide its real nature, but sooner or later you'll grasp it anyway. It's not for the impatient gamer, and some design choices ultimately spoil the fun.

A Half life 2 mod mainly founded on teamwork and realism, and in cooperative playing you'll probably find its best qualities.

It's a great chance for all the fans out there to relive history of western RPG. Enhanced graphics and interface make this a great remaster of an immortal classic.

Rough around the edges would be an understatement. Sadly, it's just hard to find a reason why you should play Rekoil, given the abundance of choices in its genre.

It's been developed for mobile platforms, and you'll notice that through and through. on other platforms, it has a very poor lasting appeal, and the fun won't last long enough.

Inspired to dungeon crawler classics, it struggles to find its own identity. The entry price is really cheap, so, if you like the genre, you'll probably want to try it for yourself, and chances are high that you find some good in it.

The narrative is incredibly dense and spectacularly written. There's no big bang finale here, but what's really important here is the experience, and what will be left of it when credits roll. Chances are, a lot to think about.

It's same old Fable, and this is a good chance to try it if you've missed the original (and the expansion). Sadly, this remaster shows a lot of graphical hiccups, and a less than good frame rate, despite its high pricing.

It's pure horror, as if you were in an IMAX cinema. It will surround you, and terrify you, especially in the very well crafted first hours. Then it gets a bit repetitive, but it's still an adventure you won't easily forget.

The first chapter fascinated the public with the great characters and a well crafted cliffhanger. A shame that this second part doesn't seem able to show the same qualities, to shrinked between the linearity and the absence of new fascinating characters.

Better try before buy. It's a classic platform, but split in two, between a too easy beginning and a hardcore second half.

There's a lot of fan-service in this last chapter of the Fabula Nova, something the fans of the thirteenth chapter won't probably dislike. On the other hand, linearity and the time mechanic make this less and less an JRPG.

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.

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

Blackguards is a great success for Daedalic Entertainment, a great achievement not only for the remarkable playability and exceptional turn-based setting, but also and above all as the first role-playing game of the hanseatic software house.

A spoiled-teenager-princess simulator, where the main character can die in the most unlikely ways. What more do you want?

Classic button masher, with not much to offer.

A great tactical RPG coming from a forgotten era of videogaming, with a brilliant art style and a melancholic story.

Lovely retro-style, interesting new game modes.

An abstract platform, unusual and compelling.

Double Fine at its best. Too bad you can complete this first branch of the story in just 4 hours.

The thrill of the fight condensed in a bunch of pixels. Antagonistic, competitive, biting.

King's Arthur Gold is not the Terraria clone that you would expect looking at the screens: it has it's own pace and fresh game modes.

The HD conversion has little more to offer to old players and new fans.

Better look, and the same frantic gameplay: the best edition for this fast-paced action game.

To split Break Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse in two parts was not a good idea. When the plot finally starts to take off, everything is postponed to a later date. For the rest, however, it is still the beautiful Broken Sword we know.

Joe Danger was definitely more interesting with the old formula: the new auto-runner twist is not what he deserved.

Behind the Edward-Scissorhand-esque look of this apparently innocent game, lies one of the most unforgiving and thrilling roguelike. The game works great with the dualshock 4.

Dull, linear, repetitious and microtransaction-oriented.

Jet Car Stunts 2 works fine as the first episode, thanks to an interesting editor that allows player to create and share their own levels.

Zeptolab's puzzle game is still one of the best gaming apps for iOS.

Minecraft is still a major hit on PlayStation 3.

"Ugly" is not enough to define Putty Squad. It is simply an (almost) unpublished game from 20 years ago, with outdated graphics and gameplay.

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

Even on PS4 Trine 2 shines: this complete edition is a great bargain for platform lovers.

An arcade puzzle game that meets the sandbox/roguelike philosophy. Simple but catchy.

A shortened version of an already basic racing game, deprived of the most interesting game modes.

A great sequel for one of the best puzzle games in years.

You can tell even from the UI that Spartan Assault is a mobile game re-edited for a next-generation console. Missions are too short and repetitious, and the shooting system worked better with a touchscreen.

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

Terraria works even better on PsVita, thanks to an excellent control scheme and the usual catchy gameplay.

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

Stick It To The Man is an unusual mix between a platform, an action and an adventure game, brilliantly blended together in an original product with a great art style.

The Novelist explores unusual themes and has some brilliant ideas. It is, still, an inflexible and strict game.

Nes Remix define a new way to enjoy retrogaming.

A catchy arcade where timing is everything. Retro look, but not much to offer in the long run.

Too many issues make X Rebirth an unplayable game.

We recommend Path of Exile only if you already have solid group of friends, or if you just want a free pastime and don't want to spend money on better, albeit slightly unoriginal, titles like The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, Torchlight 2 or the Diablos series itself.

Teslagrad, the debut title from Rain Games, is emerging as an interesting and challenging adventure, able to keep you busy in engaging and challenging puzzles.

Thanks to an interesting and convincing concept Republique is one of the most successful experiments in making mobile gaming more mature.

Deep and satisfying, Blood Rain Chronicles: Mirage is a valid alternative to Muramasa, ranking itself as a really interesting action game.

The second season of The Walking Dead follows in the footsteps of the first, presenting a quite evanescent gameplay and a plot that can only be assessed over time, but for now with a good impact on the fans.

Barbie Dreamhouse Party is the best way to ruin a young girl's childhood.

Initiation is a very regular package, which relies on the idea of the origins of the bat and retrieves the imagination of Batman Begins, but then binds the player into a series of challenges from a widely known flavor.

Several interesting ideas are not enough to make Heroes of Dragon Age a convincing Mobile title. Gameplay is practically nonexistent and a superficial implementation of features make it a mediocre title to avoid.

While presenting several interesting ideas in terms of style, Gomo is not convincing because of an evanescent gameplay and definitely not brilliant selection of puzzles.

Angry Birds Go! is a racing game designed to broaden the audience, which takes everything lightly without ever really convincing any player.

Tiny Brains pays being the debut title for Sparhead Games and presents too many ups and downs to fully convince.

With its particular and fun characterization and its deep mechanics, Endless Boss Fight is one of the most exciting arcade games of recent years.

Doki Doki Universe is one of those "liminal" experiences between video games and interactive story, held together by brilliant ideas and the willingness to break the classicism of entertainment.

Darkout echoes the philosophy of Terraria putting everything in a darker and intriguing setting. The work in progress nature, unfortunately, does not allow him to make the leap.

Strange crossing between pinball and pachinko, Peggle is one of PopCap's greatest hits on all platforms in which it appeared. The second episode debuted on Xbox One, serving as a colorful "more of the same".

If you really want to make something bad to someone, during this Christmas, Give them Ben 10 Omniverse 2.

The Ubisoft Assassin's Creed mobile spin-off starts out well, and then became an Infinity Blade with galleon, failing to convince most of the players.

Thanks to a wider variety of gameplay and game situations, War Thunder won the scepter of the best free-to-play in the skies of World War II.

Crytek launches itself in the free-to-play market with a dynamic and interesting shooter, but realized too superficially to convince.

Dead Sky chases Left 4 Dead dynamics adding to the mix some tower defense mechanics and resulting in a dull and uncared for product.

Poor graphics, a not functional gameplay and an exaggerated focus on pay-to-win mechanics made Blacklight Retribution a not too convincing free-to-play.

The Typing of the Dead: Overkill is a title already seen, in every one of its aspects: from the plot to the technical aspect, from game mechanics to extra mode, everything is recycled and repurposed.

Breaking Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse in two was not a good idea. When the plot finally starts to mesh everything is postponed to a later date and the player stays dry mouthed. For the rest, however, it is still the beautiful Broken Sword.

Madden 25 has some new aspects but also the same faults of the past, showing how the lack of competition is not good to Electronic Arts products.

Fast, funny and deep, CastleStorm convinces thanks to a gameplay that melts together action and RPG elements to perfection.
