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.

The series is tired and bored. Year after year, Moto GP does not reinvent itself and appears as a vapid experience.

Final Fantasy IV is probabily the best episode ever created, but this edition, despite its name, is far from being "complete".

Despite the very quick playthrough (around 3 hrs), he plot looses momentum halfway through, and the pace slows down the progression. The idea is sound, but the execution deserved more care.

Classic button masher, with not much to offer.

Despite being a low budget game for casuals The Shoot gives the player a genuine feeling of old-style on-rail shooters. The game appears funny and original; it's a pity that title do not features enough longevity.

It really mirrors the flaws of the original games. The level design is superb, but the gameplay feels flat and repetitive after a little while.

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).

The graphics are really, really good, but all those shiny things end up clashing with a lacking gameplay, and that's a true shame.

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

This is, by far, the worst Advanced Warfare's expansion pack. Just one map stands out, and the zombie campaign is as good as ever, but that can't make up for the high price.

Ethan: Meteor Hunter stands out with tricky puzzles to solve and think about. The rest unfortunately does not work. Recommended only to fans of the genre, who will accept a horrible art design.

Velvet Assassin could have been a better game. It has a solid approach to the genre, but a limping AI and frustrating shooter sessions reveal the limited experience of the developer team. You can try it if you're a great stealth fan.

A Vampyre Story is a good game that combines a classic gameplay with an interesting storyline and an accurate character design. Despite that it presents a lot of bugs and an awful translation from English to Italian.

Wrecked Revenge Revisited is good only for multiplayer sessions. Gameplay and graphics are lacking in solidity and precision but the features mix result in lots of funny races online.

Peaky Blinders: Mastermind, while not completely convincing and showing the side to many criticisms, tries to give dignity to Steven Knight's series even in this medium so different from that of origin. It does so with a peculiar gameplay that tries an unusual and enjoyable path, but it takes too much to mesh and stops at the most beautiful, a bit like it happens to the less convincing seasons of the mother work.

While offering a precise and deep board control system - far from the simplifications seen in other exponents of videogame skateboarding - Skater XL does not assign a real purpose to the player.

LocoCycle is, above all, "Loco". But after the surprise for the freaked out storytelling, the game remains really basic, linear and repetitious.

Thrilling pursuits are the only focus of the game, because the free roaming aspect and the on-foot sections are not enjoyable. You can save Wheelman if you like Vin Diesel. Otherwise, save your money.

Sim Animals is dedicate to young gamers. It meet the requirements, but it lacks creativity. Few problems with the control system doesn’t affect the gaming experience, and the rhythm is not sustained (like Viva Pinata), so the player can just relax. Suitable for those who love simplicity, and don’t fear a drop of monotony.

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.

The idea is sound, but as of today there's only one interesting gameplay mode (and it gets old after a while), a shop that needs rebalancing and a very slow character progression.

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

Quotation forthcoming.

Krater is an honest hack and slash with a colorful graphic and strong dialogues. Although the shallow combat system and the poor level design drag down its appeal.

Disney Planes is a videogame that's definitely fit for children, a nice gift to place under the tree on Christmas morning, perhaps after seeing the new Disney movie. But it also shows very superficial development that could not pass unnoticed.

The repetitiveness of the quests, the terrible management of the camera and the excessive imbalance of the tenzoni are sins that we can hardly forgive.

If Pascal's Wager has managed to emerge on mobile due to a little fierce competition, its Definitive Edition on PC does not hit the same goal. A good longevity and a series of precautions that make the title more accessible for non-experts of the genre, unfortunately, are not enough to raise the overall quality of the production, aggravated by an approximate technical realization and a gameplay not adequately finished. If you have already completed both the entire From Software library of works and the other exponents of the genre, and nevertheless you still thirst for soulslike, Pascal's Wager could still be for you: the important thing is not to have high expectations, and to be willing to close an eye before the limits of the work.

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.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a real shining gem to be set in the glorious history of the genus to which it belongs.

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

Disney Mirrorverse is, in many ways, a wasted opportunity. Such an original concept could have been the foundation for a more structured title from the gameplay point of view and perhaps addressed to a specific target.

On PSP, Fifa South Afrika is not really interesting. Without online features and the second control stick, the brand loses most of its winning characteristics.

An ingenious trip.

Judging Blade Runner Enhanced Edition is a tough job. If it is true that the comparative trailers with the graphics of the original version had shown a very faithful approach, more of reconstruction and exaltation of the Los Angeles atmospheres than of actual revision, one cannot fail to notice several defects that affect the final result. The interface and subtitles need to be totally revised, not to mention the unforgivable translation into Italian, one of the worst we've had the opportunity to see in the gaming sector; in addition, the restyling work, although voluntarily adhering to the aesthetics of the 1997 title, could (and perhaps should) have attempted to make certain situations and elements on the screen more legible. The work done by Nightdive Studios is therefore, all in all, marginal, and indeed the additions - the renewed interface and subtitles - are undoubtedly poorly implemented. Having made all these necessary premises, we believe that Blade Runner Enhanced Edition is an essential purchase for all science fiction fans and, in particular, for those who love the universes - literary and cinematographic - born from the works of Philip Kindred Dick: the story hatched by Westwood Studios and brought back to life by Nightdive Studios offers new insights into 2019's dystopian Los Angeles and its inhabitants.

Obscuritas is a mediocre horror adventure. The story is weak, and the impressive amount of backtracking is frustrating. Technically speaking, the game doesn't stand a chance against other eminent competitors (like Outlast and SOMA). The game is not a complete failure, however: it has a good variety of puzzles and a perceptible tension.

Frantics is an experience that we recommend only to those with at least a few friends to rely on, and only to the insatiable admirers of the competitive party game.

Super Mario All-Stars - 25th Anniversary Edition is not what it should have been: an homage to the glorious story of the most famous videogame character. Instead, it's the umpteenth product made only to make the most out of his name, flawed in its presentation and by its disappointing quality.

If we were to give a definition to Flip Wars, the most consonant could be that of "aperitif game".

Tournament Of Legends isn't a awful game. Despite imperfection and lacks, the title is enough enjoyable. Fans of fighting games will undoubtedly spend time with it, but don't expect to play it for months, or not to suffer the excessive flatness of the combat system.

Has the flavor of an occasion wasted.

Infinity Strash - Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai is not at all the tie-in that fans of the license have always wanted, but not a total disaster either. The contribution of Kai Graphics greatly benefited the visual rendering of the Game Studio Inc game, which however has serious structural defects and a narrative structure incapable of properly enhancing the characterization of Avan's disciples. Closer to the size of a musou than to that of a real action RPG, the combat system is wooden and lacking in terms of depth, even if we must admit that we appreciated the ingenious system represented by the Bonds Memories. The spin-off also does not adapt the entire story and we recommend its recovery to those who already know the original work and are very attached to it, perhaps when the title will be at a heavy discount.

It doesn't add anything new to the classic formula. Maybe the time has come to try new recipes, even for ol' Mama.

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.

A modest bill beat'em up.

A completely ordinary platformer.

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.

Saint Seya Brave Soldiers is definitely not a step further in comparison with Sanctuary Battle. Gameplay is still plain and not much varied, and game modes aren't attractive at all. A game just for enthusiasts.

The production shows a now-tired formula, devoid of creative verve and a challenge rate worthy of the name, which manages to save in corners only thanks to the mechanics of interaction between the environment and the 4 protagonists, well characterized in terms of play.

The pace of the narration is too slow, plus there is an avalanche of bugs, glitches and technical problems that contribute to undermining the experience.

By partially abandoning the arcade style SEGA has made a bad choice. Virtua Tennis 4 is flawed in many ways, from its unresponsive control scheme to the poor use of the motion controls. Not the best way to enjoy tennis on Wii.

You can see the dev's passion for arcade games of old, but that isn't enough to craft a compelling game.

Lums does not have its own identity and, copying Angry Birds, ends up offer anything to the player.

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

Rebuild is a fascinating game that incarnates in this app the formula of the famous web based game. Despite its heart and the well balanced gameplay components Rebuild lacks in graphics, being sometimes a pain for the eyes.

Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires can improve the original formula, proving deeper and more able to attract the attention of a wider audience.

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.

Nano Assault arrives in Europe in this Ex no the e-Shop, sold at a competitive price. And is the quality/price ratio, rather than the new addictions, to save the Shin'en title.

Despite starting from truly intriguing assumptions, closely linked to a captivating aesthetic and a pleasantly grotesque narrative frame, the first DLC of Dead Island 2 does not add much to the proposal modeled by Dambuster Studios. Despite some occasional creative flashes, in fact, the expansion flows without leaving persistent traces, both on the playful side and on the purely narrative one. The potential was there, and we are sure that some will appreciate the "camp" drift chosen by the English team more than others, but ultimately Haus is a content that can easily be left out, waiting to see how the developer will complete the journey post-launch of Dead Island 2.

Slender: The Arrival confirms the many doubts emerged during the preview, showing obvious limitations dictated by the lacks of a gameplay structure that deviates from what we saw in "Slender: The Eight Pages", its predecessor.

Arkanoid: Eternal Battle saves itself in the corner thanks to a series of ancillary methods which, between classicism and modernity, know how to pay homage in an at least dignified way to a work that has made the history of the medium. As for its battle royale heart, unfortunately, it must be noted that it has a certain difficulty in pulsating, too inconsistent and frequented by the community to justify, on its own, a ticket price that is not so low.

Haunted House is a good title for children. Unfortunately, the gameplay is a bit too repetitive, but played in co-op the game becomes sufficiently challenging to come to the end credits.

From Software looks for poetry, but does not do it with conviction.

Table Mini Golf could have been a good title if only it had not been forced in "size" by the philosophy of the AR Suit series.

Junk Jack is the most near example of Terraria porting with Minecraft crafting system. But its major flaw it's the fact that it does run on a 3,5'' screen, which make you feel disoriented and limited. It's a pity, because its crafting system is great and it could guarantee a long life to itself.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

A confusing interface, a bad Artificial Intelligence, and an overall look that can't hide the mobile genesis of the game. Dead Effect 2 could be fun for a couple of hours, but is really cheap on the long run.

Between the player and the pleasure of the puzzles always remains an obstacle, something that inevitably ruins the gaming experience.

The automatic roofing system and close-range management are not always implemented with the right criterion.

Globulos Party has a great number of game modes, but the core gameplay is iterative and not so fun if you play solo.

Dead by Daylight is a bit like those horror films from the 80s of the B, C, or maybe Z series: there is no shortage of flaws and they are obvious, yet its undoubted charm and some excellent results have allowed it to break through the heart of many fans, despite everything.

Quotation forthcoming.

Ravenbound is clear proof that having a good idea isn't enough to make a successful video game. While offering a decent combat system, the Systemic Reaction title is plagued by a number of hitches that cannot be overlooked. The presence of an open and freely explorable world has turned out to be a double-edged sword for production, given the low concentration of points of interest that makes moving around boring. Equally problematic are the camera and some enemy behaviors, which negatively affect what is good in the combat system. In short, just like in our first contact with the game, the feeling we had was that the product was not ready to debut on the shelves and still needed more or less marked interventions.

Quotation forthcoming.

A standard action/platform, without any interesting innovation and lacking in appealing design.

A series of elementary inattentions in game design echo a dull and decidedly non-dynamic open world.

There was a chance here to make right a game that, even in the days of the old generation, didn't shine. Sadly, it's wasted, and what we're left with is just some mere add-ons and a light hand of HD polish.

Carrier Comand is a game that shows solid and excellent bases, Otherwise it's an incomplete work and only the Fans of previous chapter on Amiga could go forward these many problems.

It's a fair shooter, but the missions are all alike, and the experience is really short.

MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death is evidence that Compile Heart and Idea Factory can make mistakes too. In recent years, the two Japanese companies produced a long series of little titles, innovative and exquisitely witty. The new product has only touched the target, showing many flaws in the most important aspects of the structure and gameplay.

An entire game built around a paradox seemed like an interesting idea, sadly the final result isn't compelling enough. Everything is given to the player in the first minutes, so it lacks any feeling of real progression.

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

It's a basic shoot'em up, lacking a quirk that could make it emerge from the masses.

Quotation forthcoming.

It's a weak brawler game, that tries desperately to monetize on the Kung Fu Panda license, but does so in a very lazy fashion.

The technical sector is in fact immature, with consequences that strongly influence the use of the adventure.

In the noble attempt to resuscitate the original Dungeons and Dragons brand in a videogame, the developers really messed things up, as the gameplay is a mixed bag, and not all mechanics work as they should.

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

No Straight Roads is a colossal wasted opportunity: the first work of the young Malaysian team Metronomik has character to spare and an aesthetic to scream, of those that grab attention without being shot. But be careful not to be charmed by a spell that ultimately proves to be all form and no substance.

Net of these sporadic moments, Sea of Solitude has not been able to convince us as we would have liked.

Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom is not a well-crafted game, suffering lots of problems from the gameplay perspective to the graphical side. Just Battle Mode, an action-RPG side of the game, feels good, but is not enough to advise playing this PS3 version.

To the serious shortcomings already mentioned we must then add a survey of inadequate body movements and a roguelike component capable not so much of raising the challenge rate, but rather the frustration level reached by the player.

This gardening themed spin-off carries over all the issues with the main chapter of Cooking Mama. There's no depth in the minigames and player progression, and that doesn't help an overall uninteresting offer.

Quotation forthcoming.

It's a lame conversion from the iPad version, so you'd better stick with the mobile one.

The basic structure of a space sim is there, but while you grind for hours to make your ship better and better, you'll feel that something is missing, and that's the originality of gameplay solutions that can make a game really stand out.

Even if it has a great number of interesting game modes, Backbreaker simply does not work. The gameplay has some interesting ideas, but most of them are not appropriately used, while the graphical engine is barely sufficient.
