Exploring these characters is by far the most enjoyable thing to do in Empire of Sin.

It's a small overhaul of the original game, but owners of the "vanilla" version won't find many reasons to spill out further money on this one.

Old in the soul, Battlefront Series needs a complete revolution to entertain the video gamers of this new generation.

Despite the interesting driving model, the lack of content and the creepy visuals make Alive a terrible game.

A better DLC than the previous one.

Repetitive and rather poor, FUSE is a failed experiment by Insomniac, which produces a TPS like many others.

Survival can still work if kept simple, and here's proof of that. It might be repetitive at times, but it still delivers a very good gameplay experience.

The progression of the campaign is totally unbalanced between the action phases and those dedicated to puzzle solving, even if the latter manages to emerge more decisively in the end, which is pleasant.

The Galadriel Blade is too lazy to represent a virtuous extension of Shadow of War.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 was destined to die, yet here it is, risen from the grave like the protagonists whose exploits it chronicles. The Chinese Room weaves what is, to date, its most complex plot, narrated through the voices of memorable characters but, above all, a captivating world from which I never wanted to part. Not everything works perfectly: the developer's inexperience with certain aspects of the gameplay is evident. The most significant burden is the legacy of a structure that doesn't mesh well with the overall game's economy, making one feel the full weight of an open map inserted more for practical reasons than for true coherence. Despite its various imperfections, Bloodlines 2 remains a solid game, capable of insatiably entertaining for over thirty hours. But above all, it's an excellent first effort for the developer, demonstrating its ability to break away from its past to embrace a more ambitious, complex, and courageous experience. If this is the starting point, I can't wait to see what awaits us at the finish line.

Crazy premises and a great atmosphere will keep you involved for a while, but it really lacks in terms of gameplay depths and rhythm. You are being hunted, and the main solution to that is crouching. Not very gentleman-like.

Quotation forthcoming.

What is clear after several hours spent with the game from EKO Software is that it is an incomplete project, poorly balanced, empty and not so varied. The shell of an action RPG that certainly didn't promise sparks, but had at least a few little tricks up its sleeve.

Thinking positive The King Of Fighters XII is the first, timid, step of SNK in the next generation and ony a launch platform for a better future. Despite that the game offers really poor game modes, bugged online playing and the worst graphic design of this generation.

Katamari Amore remains loyal to the spirit of the brand, involving the player in a funny experience.

Compared to Nitendogs, here you'll find a specific purpose for your pets, in finding an ancient treasure. Interactions with the puppies are not varied as they are in Nintendo's rival, but the game still has a fun part to it.

A wasted opportunity.

Many of the terraforming mechanics are interesting, but when it comes to the variety of the missions, the game design utterly fails.

Planet Alpha is a colorful and overwhelming adventure. A daring platformer with ever-changing situations and dynamic, truly-inspired puzzles. If you manage to go beyond the reactivity of the not-really-exciting commands, you will have in your hands an excellent title, able to keep you glued to the screen up to the end credits.

Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is a party game that entertains, but for a short time.

Quotation forthcoming.

Gothic IV is not a a great RPG. Gameplay is too simple (too similar to an Hack'n'Slash), story is uninspired and characters are dull. Linear and straightforward, it offers at least some kind of visual magic.

A decent tie-in, various enough to entertain Bakugan's little fans.

Impact Winter is also able to surprise even the most avid survival enthusiast.

Quotation forthcoming.

A valid and funny gameplay, which reads in a modern way the old-style beat 'em up. However, some superficiality under development weigh heavily the playing experience.

Jagged Alliance: Crossfire is an add-on that have only new maps and few new mercenaries. The gameplay is the same: who didn't like the previous episode won't like this one neither.

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

The presentation might not be elegant, and the AI might cheat a little sometimes, but, if played with friends and family, the classic Trivial experience is reproduced in a convincing way.

In the end it's a mediocre experience, and its competitors can do much better. The screenplay is below average, and the gameplay is just business as usual.

Quotation forthcoming.

Pop-up Pilgrims is a title exclusively conceived for PlayStation VR, yet one often has the impression that the use of the viewer is just an accessory that weakens the potential of the gameplay instead of sharpening it.

OmegaBot is a very basic action platform, certainly enjoyable, even in its brevity but without real distinctive elements. The mechanics linked to the shooting are not enough to characterize it, nor does a certainly appreciable level design enhance it enough, but which suffers from two important problems: the excessive simplicity in the first hour of play, the lack of gimmicks capable of varying the action in the subsequent.

Funny and well developed. Suffers from some imperfections such as lack of online multiplayer. Recommended for lovers of the genre.

If you are passionate about this kind of "old school" experience, we can however assure you that, despite everything, Keen Sight will be able to offer you some pleasant thrills with a nostalgic aftertaste.

If you are fond of Bomberman, and in search for some quick paced fun, Brawl might please you, but there much polish missing in the tutorial and in the balancing of the single player experience.

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

The idea is sound, albeit not original, but the mix doesn't work as it should.

Bookbound Brigade is like a best seller translated in a hurry: the quality is perceptible, the shape is interesting, but among its pages it hides small typos and typos.

It remains a product mainly directed towards a very young audience, which is not very familiar with our favorite medium and prefers a few matches hit and run.

Quotation forthcoming.

An intelligent porting, for an old-style survival horror. Forget the creepy third person shooter sections of the fifth chapter and meet (again) a more pleasant adventure game.

Some side-scrolling fun to be had here, but it lacks a spark of originality, and it's often too frustrating.

Mafia 3 is a title that should be tried to the end to be appreciated. The story of Lincoln Clay is worth to be played, because too often the narrative plot is put aside in favor of high resolution textures and stunning special effects.

If you grew up with the dream of wearing a wingsuit in the myth of the late Patrick de Gayardon, your wishes have finally been heard: Skydive: Proximity Flight is absolutely the game to buy.

The last effort of Volition, of course, does not invent anything, resulting in a very canonical and direct action / shooter, an unusual mix between Just Cause, Battleborn and Crackdown.

Quotation forthcoming.

As we have repeated in the body of the review, the title is now taking its first steps and appears to have a good future ahead of it. Let it grow.

There are noteworthy notes and a historical refinement which are very detailed and pleasing, but beyond that there is nothing that prompts us to advise without reservation the content in question.

In short, be interested in this collection only if you want to (re) travel the history of the brand in the best form available, without too much gambling with mods and game files.

Poison Control is only partially successful.

Big doubts remain about the durability of the product: in terms of content, Destruction AllStars did not seem ready to sustain the attention of the average player for more than a handful of hours, and despite its undoubted qualities it could easily end up in oblivion well before the arrival of any additions and corrective noteworthy. To this we must unfortunately also add the total impossibility of playing with friends in the individual modes, undoubtedly among the most effective of the package. A limitation that, in a game like this, could prove to be particularly disabling in the long run.

After the brilliant fourth episode, a step backward for the series. Too many bugs, and a boring gameplay. Just for submarine lovers.

Despite its obvious limitations, in short, The Coma Recut is recommended only to lovers of Asian horror.

Necromunda Hired Gun rests its foot on the accelerator of dynamism and violence, yet it has an imprecise aim. Many of its problems derive from strictly technical stumbles, some of which can be solved with special updates (such as bugs or application crashes), while others are innate in its playful DNA, and have to do with feedback from the shots almost totally absent, with an artificial intelligence crude beyond belief, and with a general flatness of the shootings. The always timeless charisma of Warhammer takes care of everything, but with a license of this value available, we are convinced that Streum Studio could have done more to honor the Imperium.

Manifestly casual.

After a moderately captivating departure, The Legacy of the First Lama continues at a crawl, with no upsurge in rhythm and inspiration.

Despite its limitations, in short, it is a pleasure to run dangerously between the slopes of Dangerous Driving.

Sonic Boom is a side scrolling platformer designed for a young public, that suffers from a linear level design, flat and fairly anonymous.

Magic The Gathering: Tactics is a strong strategy game in its gameplay base mechanics but heavily flawed by rushed decisions, bugs and poor prgramming.

Even if the intricate and very traditional history could not capture your attention, the bestiary collection and its evolution could keep you glued to the screen for weeks.

By straightening out some distortions of the original game and rationalizing the offer on the content front, the development team produced a version of Banana Blitz in every way better than the previous one, so much so that giving it a chance today would certainly not be wrong.

Orgarhythm steals the concept from Patapon, but unlike the Sony’s production, he is not enjoyable and it doesn’t work.

Quotation forthcoming.

Monster of the Deep is a bit cunning, but not enough.

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

Intruders: Hide and Seek is not a mediocre production, but presents some structural fragility that does not allow it to scale the PlayStation VR video game Olympus.

Despite the intriguing premises, however, the result is a title that thrives on ups and downs, and which struggles to find a good balance between ambitions and development limits.

PokePark Wii is everything but interesting. Sure it's aimed to a younger audience but the game's structure, from the minigames to the exploration of the park, is boring and unrewarding.

Concord is a hero shooter with effective graphics and really fun gunplay, features that fail to stand out due to the presence of significant issues, both in terms of roster balance and the characterization of individual fighters. The functioning of the round mode needs to be reviewed and the progression system seemed to us to lack bite, due to rewards that are not worthy of attention. In short, the situation of the title by Firewalk Studios is not rosy at all at the moment.

Planetary Annihilation has some amazing ideas and an inspired look, but too many issues with the User Interface, the AI and the random generation of the solar systems.

The art direction is fine, even if sometimes too close to Genova Chen's style, but the gameplay is sadly very far from interesting. In the end, it lacks one of the most important things a game of this kind should provide: immersion.

It's an average twin-stick shooter. You've played this game before, but if you really enjoy the genre, it might have something for you too.

Our judgment on Rise of Insanity is a peremptory "no".

The ideas certainly were not lacking: a little extra budget and a bit of greater dedication would have been enough to create a truly special game.

A great wasted opportunity, yet another demonstration that the software houses themselves must learn to study their history, to preserve and enhance.

Hokko Life arrives on Nintendo Switch in an unacceptable technical state, so much so that any possibility of feeling sympathy for the dishes of Hokko's inhabitants and their stories fades regardless. It does not help the low quality of writing and an experience structure that made us feel trapped in Hokko, and not masters of the adventure. Dragged into a whirlwind of assignments, wood gathering and unpleasant fishing sessions, we were not in any way fascinated by a life sim that promised a relaxing and creative experience, but which on balance cannot compete with the most famous exponents. like that, Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley above all.

With a little more work and a less nuanced direction, the title from Compulsion Games could have won a dignified place in the genre. In the current state of events, however, it is a production to be forgotten.

Developed on the base of rogue-like genre, Legend of Dungeon is designed for the arcade game and complex challenges lovers, where the skill is not enough if it's not also accompanied by a good dose of luck.

With its last chapter of this spin-off trilogy, Climax ups the ante with more variety and a deeper difficulty level. It's a shame that the lack of polish in the level and game design remains the same, and frustration sometimes emerges. Anyway, visually and complexity wise, it's the best of the three chapters.

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 starting from truly intriguing premises, Shattered Space is a content that moves - with the brakes on - between light and shadow, failing to add a piece of great value to the Starfield content mosaic. Net of its qualitative fluctuations, Bethesda's DLC is not unpleasant in any way, but it is difficult not to attribute to the package the characteristics of an operation carried out, at least in part, on autopilot. A direction that makes one turn up one's nose also in relation to the list price, too high in relation to the scope and quality of the offer.

A stimulating title and can entertain a varied audience, which includes both enthusiasts and those who have never touched a controller before much less a VR viewer.

Pokémon Friends has a pleasant variety of puzzles, though it quickly becomes repetitive. The system designed to ensure replayability of the various puzzles, with the goal of collecting and obtaining as many plushies as possible, is engaging, but the experience ends there. Everything added on top of that fails to keep a product afloat. Given its truly high price on mobile and the push to purchase excessive DLC on consoles, it can only appeal to a very young audience.

Final Fantasy 7 The First Soldier is not the battle royale that will upset the equilibrium of the market or will surpass the industry champions such as COD Warzone and Fortnite Chapter 2, but it is a product that, without particular pretensions, offers a gameplay that is all in all enjoyable and immediate. If you are a fan of the seventh chapter of the Square Enix series and do not disdain the battle royale, The First Soldier would at least deserve a try to explore Midgard in a different context from what you are used to. And who knows, maybe you will also have fun picking up every single quote posted by the development team in the various corners of the map. On the other hand, those who are not a die-hard Final Fantasy fan might in any case find a product a little distant from the usual battle royale and which, compared to the competition, offers a lighter gaming experience and less devoted to unbridled competition. In short, a game that fulfills its duty for a few games in the name of lightheartedness.

Here They Lie is a disturbing psychological thriller, the digitization of a nightmare. The gaming experience is, for this reason, interesting and meaningful. Much of the credit goes to the virtual reality headset, which transforms this disturbing Walking Simulator in a hellish journey.

Heroes Over Europe delivers a classic arcade dogfight experience.

Except for the picturesque landscapes, Super Neptunia RPG is a disaster.

Despite its good ancd charming visuals, this colorful indie shooter lacks in variety and difficulty.

Giraffe and Annika couldn't convince us. The bite-free plot, the lack of characterization of the protagonist and the non-existent challenge rate are in this case only the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks to a deep and convincing handling system WRC 4 gave players a solid racing experience. However, too simple and repetitive game modes and some technical issues, prevent the game from achieving excellence.

Heart of the Forest is an advisable experience for an evening of relaxation and deepening of the narrative universe of the World of Darkness.

As much as we appreciate the idea of ​​putting ourselves, for once, not in the shoes of a budding driver needing to prove his worth, but in the cloud of a "Deus ex Machina" who can literally call the shots, build courses, drive, race, and destroy everything, without having to worry about driving techniques, gear changes, road conditions, and so on, Wreckreation takes arcade "simplification" to extremes. The result is not, as the developers likely hoped, a "eat and run" title, where you can enjoy extreme speeds and environmental (and car) destruction freely and without consequences. Crucial details and spectacularity are missing, car customization is extremely limited, and the absence of a certain feeling is felt. Whether the most dedicated players will be able to create courses and flying circuits so insane as to be worth the (albeit modest) price of entry to this enormous, yet empty, playground, we cannot know at this point. For now, if you're willing to bet on Wreckreation, it's certainly not a bad game, but it's not as exciting as it seemed before we started it up for the first time.

As often happens with first works, Lost Soul Aside was the victim of its creator's unbridled ambitions and the vast inexperience of the team that supported him during development. Eleven years ago, the project, spearheaded by Yang Bing alone, seemed simply incredible, but today—especially with the latest generational leap and the advent of titles like Black Myth: Wukong—the magic of Lost Soul Aside has faded, becoming a sort of standard. The title is based on a frenetic, robust, and satisfying combat system unlike any other, but this alone cannot offset the numerous problems that plague all other aspects of Chinese production, nor does it justify the high entry price set by Sony this time around. Faced with a market now saturated with souls-like games and increasingly less diverse, fans of more traditional action RPGs and hack'n'slash games might still give it a chance.

Moon Hunters is a non consistent game that wants to bravely show a different gameplay, though the intriguing potentialities of the latter were not realized as initially thought. However, it is a quite solid game, funny both in single player and in co-op mode.

Entertaining for the family. Tons of questions, images and photos for a polished quiz.
