If you used to love the long gone spy-movies, you'll find an incredible atmosphere in this project, unfortunately spoiled by a disastrous AI.

If you are still wondering, the answer is no: XDefiant is not the COD killer that many expected. The new free to play from Ubisoft is a good shooter, which certainly has the ability to entertain for a few hours, but which will hardly be able to establish itself on the market due to some problems related to balance and progression. The current version of the game represents only a fair starting point, which will require constant commitment from the developers to improve on all fronts. In any case, this is not an impossible situation, given the precedents of the French software house.

Without infamy and without praise, Help Will Come Tomorrow arrives on all consoles and PCs relying on the solidity of its survival mechanics, trying to mask the paucity of its narration with the effectiveness of management and survival elements.

Miitopia is a lesser production aimed at less discouraged players and unsuitable to the video gaming medium.

As with the wii version, a Mario Kart clone without soul.

With a budget price, in fact, it offers a co-operative campaign that - while banishing any form of narration - will entertain and entertain those who will play it with other colleagues. This is due, in a nutshell, to the only real diamond point of the offer: the gore system and the swarms of the undead.

Mud Runner, ultimately, is an outstanding title ... in the narrowest sense of the term.

Oddworld: Soulstorm is an adventure platform of yesteryear, which manages to modernize its playful formula only at times, with the addition of some guessed tricks aimed at perfecting the framework of Abe's Exoddus. Not everything flows with the right fluidity, and the consistent difficulty of the game is aggravated by unfortunate game design choices: yet, when it works, the work of Oddworld Inhabitants manages to guarantee a good dose of satisfaction, thanks to a substantial amount of content and of Abe's immortal grotesque charm.

The Sims 3 Showtime is a dlc at the price of an expansion pack. We recommend the purchase only if you are true fans of the sims universe.

Represents another small conquest for Milestone.

It is certainly not a novelty that a tender palletta famous for gulping down enemies or Bon Bon, can be greedy, but this time Kirby exceeds expectations: Kirby's Dream Buffet presents itself as a party game that proudly rests on a gastronomic dimension. Through a four-course menu, you will roll, bounce and immerse yourself in a contest of sponge cake and burgers, trying to conquer as many strawberries as possible. It would be more exciting if there was the possibility to customize the Kirbys of the secondary players or if other mini-games were also included in the path, to make the tasting even more varied. "Vote die you"? No. But as an alternative to other games it is inspired by, it leaves a sweet, soft feeling, less of contention and more of feasting. We advise against playing it on an empty stomach.

The world is vivid and wide, but the gameplay has a lot of issues, and the plot is quite silly.

The title could have done better if they had bet more convincingly on stealth, which instead is put aside after the first hour of play. The result is an always regular experience, if not for some well-conceived enigma and a good number of secrets to be discovered. Gylt is not a product to be completely cast aside, but in order to give character to its platform, Stadia needs other exclusive items.

The structure (divided in free roaming phases and simple races) is unbalanced, the global style not so shiny, and the phisical engine has many issues. Just for Arcade lovers.

Fragile has a great emotional impact, but the gameplay is repetitious and boring.

Ultimately, this return of Alone in the Dark is a project that was only able to convince us halfway. On the one hand there is excellent writing, capable of keeping you glued to the screen for the entire duration of the campaign while, on the other, we find a playful structure that thrives on ups and downs and a shaky technical realization, elements that prevent the title from Pieces and THQ Nordic to take flight. In any case, fans of the genre and admirers of the brand might consider venturing into the gloomy Derceto manor.

Not very enthralling and without particular flashes.

Instead of a showmanship experience, Phone Destroyer decides to draw inspiration from a champion like Clash Royale.

Those who had fun with Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken will find everything that featured that joyful experience, with its quite rough irony that was yet able to bring a smile. The others might have to take Rocketbirds 2: Evolution in a more cautious way, because of its weak control system and lack of content.

Shape of the World is really strange, so strange that it may not be a video game.

The original story is still there, and it's enjoyable, but the gameplay style is too traditional and on the easy side. It could attract newcomers, but investigative adventures fans will find this game a bit shallow.

We Are Football is a title with some interesting ideas and a good starting point for the future.

Quotation forthcoming.

The basics are there.

Football Manager Classic 2014 is a "shrunken" version of the full game, perfect for the handheld market.

It surely lacks a polished graphics and sound engine, but the driving experience is sound and compelling, the contents are plenty, and the track design is just great. Way better if enjoyed with first person view and a driving wheel.

Despite its shortcomings, the game still manages to maintain its own balance and strong identity, which emerges above all in the artistic sector.

It is a nice addition to the Stadia catalog, as well as a nice way to pay homage to an unforgettable video game.

If we were to evaluate exclusively the Ultra Age combat system we would not hesitate to say that it is a small pearl. Unfortunately, however, we find ourselves having to consider the entire package and it is therefore impossible not to take into consideration the serious problems of this production, which range from level design to the graphics sector, passing through some very questionable gameplay choices. The result is a poor offer in terms of content even for a product sold for 29.99 euros. In short, the purchase of Ultra Age should only be evaluated by the most hardcore fans of the genre who do not want to miss the opportunity to try the particular combat system on PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch (platform on which there is also a free demo).

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot: The London Case tells a good story starring the detective Hercule Poirot, who although younger than his moustached and experienced version is equally shrewd, intelligent and charismatic. The supporting actors and the plot work, brought to life in various and detailed locations by a valuable visual and artistic presentation, net of cutscenes that are not as well cared for. Unfortunately it is precisely in the playful dimension and in the rhythm that the experience loses some points, because sometimes it dilutes the progress too much with lots of backtracking and puzzles with a not exactly intuitive solution. In any case, the title of Blazin Griffin has what it takes to make the fans of the iconic character born from the beloved mystery writer happy.

Despite having inherited some problems that the Gameverse has carried with it since its origins, Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is hands down the best SAO tie-in made so far. By minimizing downtime, implementing mechanics aimed at streamlining and speeding up the combat system, and paying more attention to optimization, the guys from Aquria have redeemed themselves and this time created a frenetic and fun action RPG. Since this explores in detail the customs and geography of the Dark Territory, which had found very little space in the War of Underworld anime, we recommend its recovery to fans of the franchise and more generally to lovers of the genre.

Mario & Sonic at the London Olympics 2012 is the game that we expected: pros and cons balance each other giving players an interesting arcade game for Christmans.

There's more value in the visuals and in the musical score than what you'll find on the gameplay side here, and that's a shame.

The Precinct has everything it needs to put on a great show, but it forgets the most important thing: entertainment. It starts with an intriguing idea and develops it through a solid procedural structure... which, however, begins to creak too quickly. The narrative is stripped down to the bare bones, the game world is fascinating but remains superficial, and the gameplay, despite some brilliant intuition, struggles to renew itself over time. And yet, there are moments in which everything seems to work: hair-raising chases, a well-crafted moral system and that pinch of satisfaction in enforcing the law - at least while it lasts. Those who want to immerse themselves in the guardian of law and order might find something interesting here. For everyone else, The Precinct risks turning into a long, monotonous patrol.

The moderately renewed graphic design and the addition of a couple of gameplay elements do not conceal an obsolete plant, often at high risk repetition. Not a bad game.

The title is still a good representative of a genre always attached to its usual mechanics.

Helvetii is an action roguelike that doesn't feature any vaguely original ideas. Characterized by a below average longevity, it must however be recognized that the product partially compensates for its shortcomings with a high challenge rate and an artistic system that gives a nod to the sensational Vanillaware productions, without however fully equaling its visual rendering.

Who knows where The Inner Friend really wanted to go. At the moment, the first videogame from PLAYMIND is a jumble of bad psychological horror situations, a jumbled combination of mechanics and videogames, an experience with experimental aims that, however, converges only in a confused, substantially colorless unicum.

Loot River is a complete, difficult and well packaged work. A unique mechanic that of the Tetris-style platforms, which lends itself well to the game world created by the guys of Straka Studio. Too bad for the mole represented by that problem with the hitboxes and animations of certain characters. Overall, however, the game is more than good, fun, challenging and will keep you hooked for a long time.

Compared to the previous episode and other recent Gust proposals, Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon is undoubtedly a clear step forward.

There's fun to be had with this arcade racing, but the controls don't always deliver, and there are some serious issues with the camera.

Quotation forthcoming.

It's definitely a step back from New Leaf: focusing entirely on furniture, this game leaves back a lot of the content that made the Animal Crossing saga shine. On the other hand, the editor is really rich, and some players could enjoy it.

Broken Pieces is a project created by a software house still in its infancy, an adventure that unfortunately has proved problematic on several fronts. Net of the pleasant setting that is the background to the events narrated, the plot fails to involve the player, most of the puzzles are uninteresting and repetitive and the combat phases are nothing more than a filler that tires already at the second meeting with the opponents, all equal to each other. In short, unless you are satisfied with a walk in a beautiful French town, Broken Pieces does not have much to offer, not even for fans of the reference genre.

Driveclub VR retrieves many of the contents included in the "classic" edition, but it would have needed a more careful optimization process, aimed primarily to "restructure" circuits and layouts and to lighten the rendering job. The new development team, instead, cut features and reduced visual enhancements. The result is a "scrambled" and ugly look.

Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten is an experiment that is only partially successful, as Aquaplus's inexperience in the JRPG field and the limited budget have influenced almost all aspects of the product, starting with the obsolete graphics sector and a combat system not quite in focus. In short, the strong point of the package is represented by the convincing plot and the writing of the characters, which with their travails will fascinate Utawarerumono fans and newcomers alike. Being an excellent entry point for those who still don't know the saga, we recommend it to JRPG enthusiasts, perhaps in a less crowded period of important releases and in any case in times of discounts.

This is the Police 2 is a title deliberately difficult to approach, imperfect but fascinating.

All things considered, considering the target audience of all Microids' Poirot games to date and their evolution over time, despite the quality of the writing and narrative, we can't help but consider Death on the Nile a small step backwards, or, to be more polite, at least a "stop." The weak puzzles and the artistically simple technical aspects didn't convince us. The overall experience is decent, if you lower your expectations a bit and ignore the two previous Blazing Griffin games, which, in our opinion, were a bit more complex and interesting.

The Xbox One version is pretty much identical to the PC one, if you don't consider some nasty framerate drops that really shouldn't be there.

Quotation forthcoming.

My Little Monster is something more than an App. It is a crazy experience jumped out of the mind of Pär Fredriksson. It's short, someway limited, but it does entertain, so take it. It's $1.

Duck Tales Remastered is a little gem churned out by Capcom and WayForward.

A snowboarding title for enthusiasts: this is Shredders.

Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is just a fast paced action game, full of no-sense situations and very very funny to play.

It updates some features of last year's edition, but it's not a decisive step forward in physics simulation and graphic fidelity.

The classic game mode are not improved by the VR headset, and the loss of definition is really hard to bear. The Invasion Mode, the sole new feature of the package, is short and uninspired.

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.

Despite the presence of a genuine and fun combat system at a turn, we need to point out that Blue Reflection has largely missed the target.

It could look like a "domestic life simulator" at first, but there's much more beneath the surface. It's a love and war story that happens in a small apartment, told in an unique way.

The second episode of this short spin-off is a little better than the debut one. In the first half of Give No Shelter there's some rushed moments and a pinch of groundless fan-service, but after that the story finally thickens. Let's wait for the last chapter and hope for the best.

Little more than sufficient content.

A rather weak remaster on the technical side, but to which it is impossible not to recognize a certain intrinsic cultural value, closely linked to his respectful love for the cinematographic saga.

In this arcade iteration of the brand, Backbreaker works better than in the previous retail version. Reinventing itself (starting from some peculiar game modes) the title can be a good way to cheer up this poor gaming summer.

WRC 6 does not differ enough from mediocre product that preceded it, reinventing, with minor adjustments, the same recipe of twelve months ago.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is an interesting hybrid between a traditional third-person shooter and a strategic game, with elements of role-playing game; but the impression is a game crippled by a troubled production. If you are in search of a different action videogame, maybe The Bureau is the game are you searching for.

Children of Arkham begins with a couple of great scenes and an interesting plot twist. Unfortunately the central part of the episode doesn't work that well. The QTE-Based fights are dull, and the investigative component which had been one of the distinctive trait of the first episode is completely missing.

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

It doesn't delve deep on its own gameplay ideas, and that's a shame, although fans of the Compile Heart brand could still enjoy the ride.

Silence tries to modernize the point-and-click adventures thanks to a more interactive control system and a simplification of the puzzles, that makes them well integrated to the narrative.

Three years have passed since the PC release, but the game still holds on its good qualities. The simulation is believable, and the puzzles still fun to solve.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers is, in some way, a good game. It has an interesting story and characters. Unfortunately the poor gameplay mechanics and the absolutely absence of challenge turns this Final Fantasy in a mediocre product.

Crow is an interesting game with fresh gameplay mechanics and a stunning graphical impact.

Quotation forthcoming.

We are faced with a game that can only attract the attention of big fans of the TV series or those who do not give up on any product focused on the DC Universe.

It's basically a Clash of Clans clone, painted with a Call of Duty coating. That can't make for a very interesting or fresh experience.

Paradise Lost is a title with untapped potential. The imagery built by the team effectively envelops the player, who walks the path shaped by PolyAmorous Games with involvement. Once the story is over, however, the feeling of incompleteness remains strong. The suggestions painted by the artistic sector and the soundtrack compensate for a technical sector that is not always excellent and a decidedly essential interface, for a pleasant experience, but which unfortunately is not memorable. A shame, because the Paradise Lost bunker, full of dark secrets, could undoubtedly have offered a more intense playful adventure.

RIDE is an interesting first step in a new direction for Milestone. The racing experience truly speaks of passion for amateur motorbike racing, and does so bestowed with good AI and a convincing handling system. It's a shame that console and PC versions show a wide gap in graphics and playability, and there's still work to be done on the presentation and the collision system.

A somewhat embarrassed and mechanical, cooperative and competitive script that sometimes clashes with the thoughtful, reflective and weighted nature typical of an interactive thriller.

Forever, if nothing else, remains an above-average endless runner; a result that for the fans of the last chapter, understandably, may not be enough.

All things considered, Park Beyond is an experience that we would like to recommend to you if you are a lover of management based on theme parks. If, like us, you have been lovers of RollerCoaster Tycoon and all the subsequent heirs of that winning formula, the new work by Limbic Entertainment and Bandai Namco could enrapture you for dozens and dozens of hours, while not consistently altering the most tried-and-true canons of the genre and net of an evident uncertainty on the technical and artistic side.

Thanks to the singing section, the multiplayer and the quality of trackist, Michael Jackson: The Experience, reaches sufficiency. However, it remains recommended only to fans of the genre.

Blood of the Zombies is the practical demonstration that the Gamebook still have a charm of its own but which the genre, at least in digital, may dare much more.

This puzzle platformer starts great, then looses some of its momentum along the way. It's still a small, curious project, and it might be really worth a try.

ReMind is a not fully successful operation - especially because of the price at which it is offered - but at the same time it's fundamental to clearing up the ideas on the complicated future of the Square Enix saga.

The lack of interactivity and emotional involvement, the ease with which the few hours of play are dealt with and the almost total absence of replayability unfortunately prevent the Italian studio from flying high towards the sun.

Although it is not without some flaws typical of the kind of game, Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is an unmissable product for all gamers who grew up reading the immeasurable dark fantasy epic of Miura genius: the title manages to translate perfectly in pure action as appreciated in the pages eponymous manga.

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.

Supercross 4 is a complex game to approach that doesn't do much to be appealing to the general public.

The Cruel King and the Great Hero is a sincere production, which does not aim to overturn the canons of turn-based role-playing games, or to amaze with who knows what technical innovation. Quite the contrary: precisely to the extent of this moderate simplicity Nippon Ichi Software inscribes a winning design idea, which - even without some structural ingenuity - manages to convey first of all the message of a light-hearted but also intimate and profound story. The most relevant stylistic figure then remains the art direction, which with such a graceful hand drawing style makes the game world a real videogame fairy tale.

New chapter in the unending saga by From Software, Verdict Day shifts the focus of a multiplayer component improved and enriched compared to its predecessor.

Almost absolute realism is Golf Club's mission, but in pursuing this goal, the development team seems to have neglected fun, which should be at the very heart of every videogame, especially a sports one. On the other hand, if you love golf and a true challenge, this might be your green of choice.

With a greater focus on optimization, environmental interaction and singleplayer cohesion, Above and Beyond would surely have deserved a glittering medal of honor.

Too bad for a technical section that is at times really problematic, which fortunately cannot tarnish the excellent qualities of this sequel: a title that fans should play without hesitation.

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

Ultimately, Detective Pikachu - the Return can boast a plot that could entice the most die-hard fans of the Pokémon world but is also characterized by a somewhat sparse gameplay system, which fits into the market segment of investigative graphic adventures designed for a very young audience. The target audience is therefore quite clear but only occasionally manages to achieve the objective it has set itself.

Milestone, in short, has obvious room for improvement, but MotoGP 18 appears to be a solid product, a candidate to be an important basis for the future of the series.
