It's really a pleasant surprise: a game that will keep you busy with interesting challenges, and delivers some memorable storytelling.

But be careful, it could be addictive.

Three years after the disastrous launch of Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix produces an high quality MMORPG, with a revised and corrected gameplay that fit perfectly on the Sony's Dualshock controller.

It's a great package, offered for the right price. Fans of the game should buy and don't look back.

Resident Evil Revelations is a quite accomplished mixture of the series' most reknown titles. Borrowing something from the first episode, others from the latest, it succeeds in creating a new formula, appealing to both the new and old fans of the franchise. The game's structure has some minor flaws, but its value is undeniable.

The technical limits of the engine are felt, especially on PC, but the general quality of the fun game allows you to quietly overlook the weaker aspects of a graphical aspect that, in any case, does not create real obstacles to the enjoyment of the game.

Despite a shorter adventure, the sense of challenge and the high density make this Add-On highly recommended.

Final Fantasy XV is a product that perfectly combines two opposing and irreconcilable souls. On the one hand there is the desire to revive a once great saga, an RPG focuses on the value of exploration, and on the amount of secondary activities and diversions. On the other hand there is a murky "dark side", made of an ineffective and bleak narrative. Considering the number of hours spent in the Lucis kingdom, you can not help but think that this narrative hitch represents after all a small part of the overall game experience.

It will often leave you speechless.

Quotation forthcoming.

Fans of Yoshi's Island can at last relive some of those emotions. Despite the slow start, it's a wonderful platform experience, filled with care for details and original ideas.

The length of the campaign and the way in which it concludes the game events did not satisfy us, but there will be time with the next patches to correct the shot.

Noire remains a different experience: different in rhythms, in shades, in emotions in dance. Unique, and wonderfully imperfect.

Catherine is a japanese folly, but is charming enough to amuse those who consider originality an important value in gaming development.

Excellent.

Neversoft astonished everyone with an expansion equipped with all the features of a complete game. The introduction of the astonishing Expert+ mode and the tweakings about the career mode and the gameplay made Guitar Hero Metallica a "must have" for every gamer. The songs of the californian band seems to have been written perfectly to fits the Guitar Hero game structure and to involve the player completely. It's a pity that everything good in the game does not apply to the "non-Metallica" songs in the tracklist.

Destiny is an amazing start for Bungie. It has this impressive gameplay, confined in an MMO structure. Don't look for an epic story, because you won't find it. You will find a great amount of content and a vast and beautiful universe, an addicting multiplayer and some room for future improvements.

Code: Realize Guardian of Rebirth is a beautiful "otome" visual novel, well written and fun to read.

Chrono Trigger was and still is a "must have" for RPG lovers. And not only for the historical importance of the game, but because even today, after fourteen years from the first release, there are few Jrpg that can compete against the Square-Enix title for the supremacy regarding plot, screenplay, character charisma and emotive impact. Anyway, to fully appreciate this game, the player have to ignore an evident technical backwardness, that the porting have not wiped out.

A deep and complex action RPG, hard but rewarding.

Quotation forthcoming.

Mortal Kombat is recommended to all lovers of the series and genre. The gameplay works great on PS Vita and thanks to the many extras present are guaranteed hours of fun.

Fun alone, exhilarating with a group of friends, Borderlands 3 is the great return we all expected: an irreverent, very rich shooter, and - in the fullest sense of the word - exaggerated.

Ultimately, Lies of P: Overture is configured as a further testimony to the crystalline talent of the Korean developers of Neowiz and Round 8 who, after having hit like a hurricane in a seemingly saturated market such as that of soulslike action/RPGs, replicate the winning scheme by declining it in an adventure with even darker tones, supported by a powerful imagery and an exciting story. Net of some qualitative contraction in some moments and a not exactly stellar duration, the expansion of Lies of P will certainly delight those who loved the epic of Geppetto's favorite son. Are you ready to return to tread the streets of Krat?

Tiny & Big is all that an indie title should be. A game created without bringing out figures with an embarrassing number of zeros, which points to a more artistic direction rather than unmatched obsession for polygon counting.

Spelunky is a great title. Its astonishing gameplay, the beautiful graphic, the magnificent level design, make it an unmissable videogame. The only drawback is its intrinsic difficulty: not everyone might appreciate a game where you die often.

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin confirms itself as a solid and delightful JRPG, as well as a respectful spin-off towards the main series from which it is based.

As of today, it's still one of the best JRPGs around. The game is identical to the original release, and this is a great chance for anyone who might have missed it.

Scary for many, too skinny for others, Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan remains one of the symbols of this "neo-classicism gaming" which is reflected in a market more vibrant and faceted.

With this renewed edition, the first chapter of the Baldur's Gate saga revives of a new life, thanks to the original expansion pack "Tales of the Sword Coast" and the new original adventure "The Black Pit" made by Overhaul Games.

Experts and neophytes, don't be afraid to throw yourself headlong into this offering from Sports Interactive: for sure you won't be disappointed.

Crysalis introduced the setting and characters in a fascinating way, but this second chapter really kicks off. The narration is above average, and the outcomes are starting to look really promising.

Army Of Two: The 40th Day is a must have not only for the fans of the series, who will find all the features that they deserve. The new adopters will also have fun thanks to an improved AI and a great design of game locations.

Exudes passion for motorcycles from every pore.

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.

A brave product, well packaged and certainly worthy of your time.

It was a real pleasure to send the Yokai back to their world. Ghostwire: Tokyo certainly has evident qualitative yields, sometimes leaving room for a certain playful and content redundancy, but as a whole it has a charisma that we believe deserves to be rewarded, either for the evocative reconstruction of Tokyo, or for the presence of a gameplay as simple as it is compelling, you want the attention paid to the writing and symbolism that characterize the stories of the city. Myth, folklore, irony and existential drama are then amalgamated in an adventure that has been able to prove to be a pleasant surprise.

Zombie U is one of the most intriguing Survival Horror titles of this generation. Is has some technical issues and some flaws in the narration process, but the atmosphere and the setting are amazing. It's a cruel game that makes you crawl in the darkness, completely alone and insecure. The Gamepad is used wisely, to stress the immersion of the player.

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

With the Bigger & Better forumla, Prototype 2 expands the structure of the first game, giving players a lot more to do and to experiment with god-like powers of the main characther.

NBA 2K20 remains an indispensable title for basketball fans, but could have followed, as far as mitrotransactions are concerned, the same virtuous approach carried out with the gameplay.

Still a great game on console. It might have some issues on the frame rate side (luckily, the slow paced gameplay won't suffer much from this), but the classic RPG experience is one of the best that a fan could ask for.

Shades and polygonal models will also feel the weight of the years, but the anime-style graphic compartment and the presence of the original dubbing make it a must for any JRPG admirer.

The King Art production is a pleasant experience and a must have communication experiment for any adventure games lover.

With some further precautions, the exclusive Nintendo Switch could have aspired to an Eagle, a result that has not yet completely abandoned the field: a lot will depend on the quality of the post-launch DLCs that will reach the green for free over the next few months.

A very unique experience, which mixes delicate graphics to the gritty storytelling of the worst war the world has come to know. When it tries to be anything less than tragic, it might lack some of that energy, but it's still a game anyone should at least give a try.

The second trip in the sick architectures of Rapture is still highly enjoyable, but this time you'll miss the fascination of discovery. PC version suffers from some minor glitches that should be fixed soon.

The transformation from mod to real game took a long time, but the final result fully convinced us.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a title that thrives on exaggerations, to be tackled slowly with curiosity and a spirit of adventure. If you decide to accept the rules, the fantasy world created by Itsuno will give you a truly satisfying combat system, extremely creative and full of epic moments. The non-linear quests and an extremely dense map are elements that could have led Capcom's title towards heights of absolute excellence, however the ascent was slowed down by artificial intelligence that was not always performing, some small problems with the balance between classes and some too much cumbersomeness. The latest arrival from Capcom still remains a very high level product: the important thing is to know that it is not suitable for every type of user.

Metaphor: ReFantazio has undoubtedly carved out a place for itself among the best proposals from ATLUS, which this time has finally found the courage to break out of its usual patterns and propose something vaguely different, especially in terms of setting and narrative structure. With a brand new job system, the combat system halfway between Persona and Shin Megami Tensei is one of the most successful elements of the package, as it offers a level of customization never seen before in an ATLUS game. Unfortunately, the eight years of development weigh like a millstone on the visual rendering of the product, which however defends itself with a valuable artistic direction and a musical accompaniment of the highest level. It will not be the authentic revolution that many expected, nevertheless Metaphor: ReFantazio remains a must-see for anyone who professes to be a lover of the JRPG genre.

A perfect "portable interpretation" of the Ps3 Game. Level design is still triumphant and overwhelming, while the editor, in this PSP version, is a nice addition.

Starfield is a mammoth and enveloping title, which in some ways represents the absolute pinnacle of Bethesda's production. In fact, in terms of quality and sizing, the playful narrative baggage of the work is a cut above the previous role-playing adventures of the US team, from which, however, the title also inherits some of its less convincing features. Aftermaths that certainly have something to do with the structure of a universe as broad as it is fragmentary, which due to its structural characteristics ends up weakening the call for exploration, which has always been one of the main ingredients of the Bethesda formula. Net of its limitations, however, the stellar epic proves to be an extraordinary crossroads of memorable stories and adventures, pieces of a proposal that is at times all-encompassing, capable of offering dozens - if not hundreds - of hours of entertainment.

Anjin's trip to Japan's Nioh ends in the best of ways, with a DLC representing the highest peak of the post launch support of an already outstanding title.

One of the best multiplayer games in recent years.

Magic keeps its hardcore nature intact, and you must always keep this in mind if you decide to approach the digital version, which maintains all the beauty of the original work.

While not having the same revolutionary reach as the first Championship Edition and the improved version of the DX Championship Edition, Namco's title is a drug for lovers of the classic arcade and an excellent starting point for younger players.

A truly unforgettable adventure.

It's an interesting experiment, and has its own way of connecting with the player, and creating emotions.

Botanicula stands as an extraordinary example of what creativity can do. Everyone should admire the incredible shine of this little gem.

Adam Jensen's Mobile adventure builds on the previous mobile experiences, and offers a perfect blend of the environmental puzzles seen in Lara Croft GO, and the stealth approach of the title dedicated to Agent 47.

What happens when you put some classic adventure gameplay in a game like Dear Esther? One of the greatest interactive thriller comes out.

Quotation forthcoming.

Ghostrunner 2, ultimately, is a corrected and enhanced version of the title that had fascinated millions of players three years ago. The gameplay has been enriched with a series of structural and content features aimed at diversifying and improving the experience as a whole. In any case, it is a hardcore product, which will put even the most experienced users to the test, but capable of giving enormous satisfaction to those who decide to invest time in mastering its mechanics. If you are looking for a game capable of giving you a challenge worthy of the name and you appreciate the typical stylistic features of cyberpunk imagery, Ghostrunner 2 could be for you.

Once Upon a Climb surpasses the first two episodes, thanks to a funny screenplay, a couple of stimulating old-school puzzles, and some breath-taking areas. By far the best chapter in the series, with an interesting backstory that finally emerges.

It's a fast and dynamic fighting game, bestowed with online lobbies dedicated to beginners. The gameplay is deep enough, and there's something for every kind of player.

Nintendo Championships NES Edition presents itself to the fans as an authentic love letter to the history of the Japanese giant, with an eye on the phenomenon of speedrunning which on the iconic 8-bit home console has its most archaic roots. It is a title capable of challenging even the most experienced players but at the same time incredibly accessible thanks to a control system that is rather simple to master and a user interface that is always clear and legible. It is certainly a product designed for multiplayer use which perhaps loses some of its undeniable charm if played solo but we are sure that it will delight anyone who wants to give it a chance.

Nintendo delivers a new epic adventure, and even if the train sections are quite boring, puzzles and dungeon design greatly entertain the player.

The Kombat is back, and you'll notice improvements on what the previous chapter did wrong. It's versatile and fun, and if you like its unique gameplay, it will offer you many hours of entertainment. Shame for the short story mode and a roster that should've been much more populated.

Although not without flaws, Afterimage manages to stand out in the panorama of 2D adventures in metroidvania sauce, thanks to its wonderful backdrops, good level design and playful structure. Augoron Shanghai's efforts to make the journey interesting from start to finish are evident, and we believe that fans of intricate stories, labyrinthine maps and important boss fights should not miss the opportunity to step into the shoes of young Renee.

Gravity Rush is the celebration of a surreal and original fantasy, constantly balancing drama and irony. A perfect sequel, born from the magic imagination of Keiichiro Toyama.

Although not a revolutionary chapter for the series (net of the subject matter), Anno 1800 is a solid and well-structured city builder, recommended to all.

Okamiden is as great as its predecessor, offering the same experience and something more. It has little flaws, but they don't ruin a truly enjoyable game. Maybe, the Nintendo DS swan song, and it could have been difficult to imagine a better one.

DrawRace 2 is better than the first chapter in every aspect: exceptional graphic design and a refined gameplay make this a great racing game.

Fun and addictive. Unfortunately who've played it on PS3 will not have a real reason to buy it a second time.

GoldenEye 007 is back, in a different but equally good way from the Nintendo 64 classic. Thanks to its variety, and to the numerous approaches available to complete a mission, stand as one of the finest single player FPS experiences of the last years. Great visuals and a good musical score, along with a solid multiplayer, complete the experience. Time to get back on Her Majesty's secret service.

It's fun to play, although it requires a great deal of precision when it comes to platforming.

Another must have on the WiiWare. And Yet It Moves is a successful experiment, as it contains a fun and extremely addictive gameplay and a great atmosphere, thanks to its strange but oniric visuals and enchanting sound effects. Surely a great title, maybe not for everyone, but definitely worth a play.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed is the answer to fans' dreams, as well as a solid bridge that inextricably links the first two numbered chapters of the franchise to the third. Indeed, to be completely precise, Tetsuya Takahashi has seized the opportunity to bring order to the continuity of "Xeno" and establish once and for all what is or is not part of it. Whether it's the end of the long narrative arc that began on Wii way back in 2010 or just the beginning of a new (Xeno) saga, Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed is undoubtedly an obligatory stop for any fan of the brand, who after years of doubts and speculations will find more or less all the coveted answers. A passionate love letter that we had hoped to read last year and which despite the delay has finally reached our homes.

A small masterpiece.

Visually stunning and brilliant, more than one year after its original release The Swapper is still an impressive puzzle game.

It's one of those "different" games, more an experience than a gameplay session. Still, it's unique in its own way, and it will leave something behind.

Although there is some decline on the variety front even with the excellent insertion of the cyclical reset, Stormland confirms another success for the Californian team, as well as the umpteenth production able to give more and more value to Oculus libraries.
