Afterall: Insanity is the rough copy of Dead Space. We can't suggest it to anyone unless you really love the genre. But, we warn you: be careful and keep informed about the product before purchasing it.

We hope that Warner Bros knows how to learn from this slide to reflect carefully on the future of its IP: a premature end is certainly not the fate that Scribblenauts deserves.

The fast and hectic gameplay is fairly pleasant, but the presence of a single mode, monotonous and with some balancing problem, limits the appeal of the game.

Although the world of Eden Tomorrow is intriguing, the playful limits that compromise its enjoyment are difficult to overshadow.

Draw Slasher is a great idea, largely ruined by a design problems.

Way of the Dogg is not up to the chosen testimonial. Poor in gameplay mechanics and technically way below the standard, it is a product to avoid.

Transformers 2 is a mediocre title that cannot stand with the other productions seen during this generation.

The epilogue of Camouflaj's Republique forgets about the mediocre God's Acre and tries to catch up with the first three episodes. But two years after the debut many ideas are outdated and the linear level design can't sustain a pleasant progression.

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.

Blind Fate: Edo no Yami stems from an intriguing concept that reworks mythology and folklore of feudal Japan to transport them into a dystopian future populated by bloodthirsty machines. Its blind protagonist is a truly remarkable gimmick, especially once placed in such a context. That said, in the field of game design there are too many problems overlapping one another, starting from the cumbersome controls and the perceptible input lag, up to an imperfect management of the checkpoints and the absence of explanations on the very functioning of fundamental mechanics. It's really a shame, because the art direction is certainly as good as the soundtrack.

Hunter's Arena Legends is nothing more than a jumble of elements from different genres mixed without the right criteria.

Quotation forthcoming.

Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is a title that, if taken in small doses, is absolutely capable of pampering and entertaining the admirers of the saga and of the strategic drift undertaken by the Empires vein. However, its combat system is still too immature and repetitive, especially when compared to the achievements of the licensed musou that Omega Force and Koei Tecmo Games have given us in recent years. Thanks to the dated technical sector and the questionable recycling of equally obsolete assets, we find no reason that can justify the publisher's decision to offer it at full price.

A vast world characterized by different ecosystems and the turning point intended to introduce an exploratory component into the series collide with a deficient artistic and technical sector.

Patently listless.

A good first step, but it leaves us dumbfounded in too many moments and on too many points.

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

In this third episode there is no mystery, the cliffhanger is not strong, and the investigation process is very linear. There is a choice to be made, it's true, but we expect more thrills.

Toribash is not fun. It requires too much attention to be fully enjoyable, but spending time with it doesn't automatically means you will get better and better. Not recommendable at all, also because you can still download it for free.

Two years after the Japanese release, the only thing that stands out is the pixel-art style.

Rather disappointing.

Ultimately, Bloodshore is a title capable of offering some gasp of nostalgia to fans of the old FMV productions, with a proposal that is anything but memorable.

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.

Poor in content but not in spirit.

Boring and repetitious, this scrolling shooter will not entertain for more than a couple of hours.

Hellboy: Web of Wyrd is an insufficient game in almost every way. Unfortunately, the love that the development team must have for the franchise is not reflected in an action roguelike, slow, cumbersome and terribly lacking in variety. There are few aspects to save: the characterization of the protagonist, the bosses at the end of the level, the impacts of Red's attacks. However, there are many stumbles that leave a bad taste in the mouth: a lackluster level design, a poorly diversified progression and a technical structure that makes the gameplay not very fun. A wasted opportunity to bring Mike Mignola's splendid works back to life. Sin.

Every single aspect of production seems a clear step backwards from the development team's past.

Despite being part of a series that has always stood out positively in the microcosm of isometric action RPGs, Torchlight 3 proved to be a mediocre, confusing and incomplete game.

Fuel Overdose is an arcade racing game undermined by gameplay problems and technical issues.

Hatchi is not for all the people who usually play on iOS. It's a Tamagotchi clone and today it could be enough for not a lot of player.

Nice concept, but a clumsy realization, with too many issues regarding control scheme and variety.

The managing core of the gameplay works well, being deep and well-structured. Still, the UI is a mess and the simulation of the race is boring.

Face Noir is an adventure game developed by Mad Orange, an Italian independent team. The main character is Jack Maria Del Nero, a detective with the vice of alcoholism who lives in a small and dusty apartment. The America told by Mad Orange is in full commercial crisis and for Del Nero there's a new job from which will begin a new adventure, in jazz rhythm and noir tint.

Poor: This is the first adjective that springs to mind in defining Akaneiro.

The problems of this collection are independent of the quality of the titles it contains. Capcom has limited himself to taking a trilogy published during the last generation, he has polished it by increasing the resolution, but has left the cut-scenes and menus unchanged. A half-remastering that cannot be rewarded, also because of the really disproportionate price compared to the technical modernization work.

With a few tricks and greater optimization, it could assemble a respectable racing game.

Bizarre and difficult to place, Knock Knock is a vague adventure, with an almost intangible and rather monotonous gameplay; however, behind these assumptions you can still find a path that can accompany the player to the discovery of a star, a story to tell and multi-faceted concept.

Although ingenious, Symphony of the Machine's gameplay is heavily reshaped by the PSVR's intrinsic limits on tracking.

Storm is a classic puzzle game, which starts from good ideas without really exploiting anyone.

The fun delivered by FlingSmash lasts only for a few minutes. It's a poor product, lacking in a solid and satisfying gameplay and getting tedious on the long run. But as a bundle with Wiimote Plus, it has some meaning.

This year the in-game purchase are too invasive, and the deck building feature is still limited.

The Shooter section is nice and funny, but the other minigames aren't that good.

Despite having noble intentions, Retreat to Enen fails to offer engaging game mechanics capable of encouraging the player to continue in his survival. Between the poor replayability, the absence of a multiplayer mode and a series of deficiencies from the gameplay point of view, the Head West product is not unappetizing only in the eyes of survival game enthusiasts, but also to that niche of gamers who they might appreciate a spiritual journey into the middle of nature.

If you play this game on a classic 3DS, and not the upgraded version, you are going to be utterly disappointed.

This five and a half is especially for you, Metacritic.

Dungeon Crawlers is too simple for an RPG. There is no skill tree, no real equipment system and no tactics in all the combat. It's only for you if you are searching for a really soft dungeon experience.

Ultimately it is difficult to promote Baldo, his flaws are obvious and even assuming that all the technical problems are solved by future patches, it would remain the heart of a frustrating and badly balanced experience.

It lacks new ideas in track design, and the physics aren't believable at all. It's a budget alternative to Mario Kart, that's for sure, but with a lower price comes also a disappointing experience.

A quite rushed remaster of an already flawed game.

Unfortunately, it falls on a fundamental aspect such as balancing, which destroys any strategic desire at the root, favoring a brutal approach with little tactical sense.

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.

Pang Adventures has some interesting ideas and an cool co-op mode, but the overall difficulty is too low and the game becomes boring after a few matches.

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

Nano Assault Neo is an uninteresting twin stick shooter with poor gameplay. Only an overwhelming visual style saves the game from garbage.

Except for the possibility of wandering around Westeros and meeting some prominent personalities of the continent, Game of Thrones Kingsroad is a title with mediocre gameplay and a not very virtuous monetization system, which pushes the player to spend more and more in order to advance and obtain advantages that are otherwise inaccessible. Unless you are a die-hard fan of the series, there are very few reasons to even try the production signed by NetMarble, given that the market is full of much more valid alternatives.

Net of a fairly interesting story capable of offering some interesting narrative crossroads, the first work of GoldKnights did not fully convince us. The main problems lie in the gameplay of The Last Oricru: the combat system is cumbersome and not always perfectly responsive, a situation further aggravated by significant drops in frame rates. Exploration, on the other hand, suffers from scenarios that tend to repeat themselves and confuse those who pass through them. Basically we are talking about a missed opportunity, which we hope will give the team some important lessons in view of future productions.

Quotation forthcoming.

A wasted opportunity.

Quotation forthcoming.

Yet another setback for a title that seems unable to break free from the plots of an adverse fate, unlike its revived silent hero.

You can buy it to your little child, and try it for a couple of hours, but the gaming experience will not entertain you for long. The dark side of tie-in acquires a new disciple.

The idea behind Sugar Cube is certainly interesting, but Turtle Cream fails to valorize it.

MinoMonsters is a corageous try of porting Pokémon on iOS, but when you make such a promise, you have to face the result. And it doesn't accomplish a lot. MinoMonsters is nice to see, but it has a tremendous lack of content. A really short adventure and just 20 monsters. We want more. A lot more.

The landing of Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise on PC is designed to offer fans of the first chapter the opportunity to take on the role of Francis York Morgan for the second time, thus experiencing his singular and story without necessarily buying a Nintendo Switch. Swery still strikes with his eccentricity but his team failed to resolve numerous problems two years after the original launch. The result is a game that remains undermined by numerous flaws, a lifeless setting and characters characterized by poor models and animations. Only those who have appreciated the events of Greenvale will perhaps be able to accept these compromises to discover a less engaging story than that of the previous chapter but necessary in order to close the circle.

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

Kirby Fighters 2 is, however, the definitive confirmation of the fact that there is nothing left to squeeze out of the old Kirby minigames and that it is therefore time to move on, possibly once and for all.

Lord Of Arcana is a title that betrays its own philosophy. The fun is directly proportional to the PSP and copies of the game available. Buy it only if you have friends to play whit it, and if you love games like Monster Hunter.

There is nothing that can entice and stimulate the player to face the twenty hours needed to complete the full-bodied adventure of Lost Epic. The component that works best, the action formula, is also the thinnest, and certainly not enough to bear the weight of the whole experience. The other areas of the gameplay unfortunately only weigh it down further, mechanical accomplices not well implemented and useless trappings. In short, these are the reasons why this 2D action rpg has been trapped in the limbo of mediocrity.

Having less contents than the PC version, we can't really call this Ps4 Edition so Special.

There are tons of characters, game modes, costumes and options, but the gameplay doesn't feel deep or compelling as it should.

In an era where titles like Streets of Rage 4, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, and even its predecessor, Double Dragon Gaiden, have proven that it's possible to revive the classic beat 'em up formula with modern depth and respect for the source material, Double Dragon Revive represents a step backwards in virtually every way. It's a missed opportunity that likely relegates the historic series to the background once again, waiting for someone to finally do it the justice it deserves.

Neon Chrome is unfortunately an overly flat title and is likely to be very boring.

The Simpsons Arcade is simply too old to entertain without reservation. Structured for arcade machines, it still presents an overwhelming difficulty.

The second chapter almost sinks the ship. It's incredibly short and it lacks memorable moments.

The roguelike scene is quite crowded right now, and this game isn't really original or compelling enough to stand out. Just for die hard fans of the genre, but the lack of contents won't keep them busy for a long time anyway.

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.

Shadows Over Bögenhafen is content that does not distance itself from the type of DLC already released for the first Vermintide...I wonder if Fatshark will surprise us in the future with something more ambitious and interesting.

Naruto Shippuden: Kizuna Drive is proof that the franchise needs a pause. The combat system is dull and multiplayer simply doesn't work.

Although, it lacks some important gameplay modes, the basics are all there, and for most of the time it plays quite good. DLCs will probably fill some of the gaps, and next year's title will probably do so in a deeper way, but what we're left with today is just half a game.

In 2018 it should be unthinkable, for example, to publish a game with the multiplayer mode not implemented (even today it is hidden behind a little reassuring sign "Coming soon") or without the chance to play a double, neither against the AI, nor in multiplayer.

An unfortunately anonymous experience, sometimes even unnerving when it ends up in the maze of trial and error.

Finding all the conclusions will require at most a couple of evenings: in case you are indefatigable fans of the horror genre, you could even give her a chance.

It's an interesting escape room concept, but the gameplay is utterly disappointing. A waste of a good idea.

Squirrel with a Gun tries its best to be as fun and lighthearted as Goat Simulator and the like, but perhaps that's why it fails. For a short time after the first start, it's interesting to try to understand what we can do with our character, how destructive he can be, and how vast his arsenal is. However, this initial charge soon runs out due to unresponsive controls, the repetitiveness of the proposed situations, and some obvious gameplay limitations, such as the small size of the magazines. In short, with or without weapons, goats remain the undisputed masters of video game nonsense, once again.

In its next gen version, the Dutch game remedies the errors of the past iteration with a visually convincing but terrible performance graphics mode, while the more performing one does not improve the minimum graphic detail we were already accustomed to.

It's surely a niche game, but the graphics are so bad that the immersion gets completely spoiled.

Shaun White Skateboaring fails in so many ways, from the gameplay to its lackluster technic, that it cannot appeal not only the average gamer, but even those who love the genre.

Sherlock Holmes has many elements in common with professor Layton, but the poor quality of the puzzles and of the story makes it a worse game than the Level 5 masterpiece.

The nostalgic breath is felt, and it cannot be denied that some idea, if treated in a different way, could have easily given its fruits. Yet, the new effort of Naka and Oshima collapses under the weight of a shoddy, disoriented realization, mostly unable to pay homage to the old days without being unnecessarily cumbersome.

If The Foundation had already raised some doubts, in this case Remedy has pulled too hard, trying to save a structurally and playfully weak content with the indisputable charm of the franchise that is about to recover.

An incredible wasted opportunity.

MicroVolts is a third person shooter that looks trivial and a bit derivative, especially in front of Valve's Team Fortress 2, that cannot compete with a free-to-play market full of new and much interesting alternatives.

Gamedec's ideas are interesting and so is its imagination. But what disappoints about the work of Anshar Studios is how the concepts were concretized and how ineffective the dialogues are - both in describing the world (the discovery of which will only be possible by reading dozens of codex documents), and in telling the characters and their emotions.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the umpteenth demonstration of the unfortunate union between gamepad and strategic games. The developers have thought of a great product, with many potentialities on paper. The title is destroyed by the bad mapping of controls and a not so impressive technical realization.

Event 0 starts with original ideas, but lacks the courage to tell the story of an Artificial intelligence and its relationship with the player.

An old school scrolling beat'em up, with nothing new to bring to the genre.

There are some interesting pieces in this puzzle, but once they form the final picture, you'll see something very different, and sadly not entirely enjoyable.

Inversion is a mediocre title. The gameplay shows some interesting ideas, but at the same time too many similarities with Gears of War. Recommended only to those who are very addicted to shooters.
