Drag X Drive focuses solely on gameplay and its mission to demonstrate the potential of the mouse-based Joy-Con controller, forgetting to convey its undeniable depth of gameplay with the graphic and artistic tools that Nintendo usually masters, and which are almost a distinctive signature. It's not a "gimmick game": the idea works, the technique is well-executed and promising, but it would have deserved a series of more thoughtful, enriched and varied touches and modes.

A perfect remake: shiny graphics and some new contents that increase replay value. Still, is a game from 1997, some puzzles are too "childish" and the main adventure don't last more than 5 hours.

The result is a well-made puzzle game that, thanks to the two levels of difficulty, is suitable for both experts and newcomers.

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.

You might be interested in the culture and folklore aspects of the game but the gameplay is not up to par.

A spoiled-teenager-princess simulator, where the main character can die in the most unlikely ways. What more do you want?

The gameplay is classic and solid, but it lacks refreshing ideas. Whoever has already played any Mario vs. Donkey Kong with Lemmings influence, won't find anything new here. The editor is the better part of the offering, and the star economy is fun enough to put to good profit.

Its a simple and fun scrolling shooter, but its lasting appeal is indeed quite short.

Ultimately Breakpoint is a title capable of guaranteeing Wildlands fans a more than ample dose of ballistic fun, although the overall production balance does not show the clear step forward that could be expected.

The new version of the game brings a load of content designed specifically for fans of the Koei Tecmo crossover universe, those who will benefit most from this "update". On the other hand, the experience remains what it was in the beginning: a reckless action, naturally prone to a monotonous gait, but overall better than other congeners and in its own way galvanizing, if taken in small doses.

The console version, then, starts somehow lame. In fact, suffers from a big problem: it is obviously more expensive than the PC version, released a few months ago and offered at a budget price.

Bomberman Blitz is the Bomberman we all know: a good number of arenas, many options and the ability to play the bomber on two screens will cheer the fans of Bomberman. Pity, however, that a title that points on the multiplayer - since the mere presence of the battle mode - has some limitations with the absence of a local mode with a single copy of the game, or the limited complexity of the online mode.

It's rough around the edges, and gameplay is really thin, but the terrifying experience ultimately works.

Red River places one step above Dragon Rising. The game adds some new features that give the title more accessibility, but it lacks in general refinement. AI is poor and so are the graphics and some of the tactical mechanics. Coop mode works well but is not the perfect replacement for PvP, which is totally absent in the game.

The Nintendo Switch version of Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville maintains its light-hearted soul, made of harmless action, delusional weapons and absurd characters.

Patapon 3, unfortunately, isn't the chapter that is finally able to evolve the brand. Recommended only to fans of Patapon or who are intrigued by the saga.

Testament The Order of High Human is an experience with ups and downs. The plot never really manages to intrigue but the game world offers several interesting settings and exploration remains pleasant thanks to the fun parkour sections. The combat system is quite simple, yet it does not fail to give magical blows worthy of the name and various ways to make the protagonist more lethal. At the same time, and unfortunately also applies to the bosses, the movements of the enemies turned out to be a bit spartan and unable to match the quality of what has been confirmed as a good visual presentation. If you are looking for an adventure that is not too long, focused on challenging gameplay and made by people with an obvious passion for action RPGs, you will overlook the flaws and enjoy yourself.

LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 is the console version ported to the PS Vita. Nothing more, nothing less. So it's a good game, with lots of different situations and an interesting puzzle-platform mix.

The Star Trek saga finds its own online counterpart in this immense title. Despite the very strong and entertaining starship fighting and exploration systems, the shallow gameplay and the terrible on-foot missions prevents this game from being the announced hit that was rumored.

Nexuiz is the perfect fusion between speed and accessibility. A minimal amount of choice in game modes ruins longevity and some online problems can sometimes be frustrating.

A nice twist in the saga: a lot of new moves and an appealing structure.

The Crew 2 has its moments (and they are moments that no other racing game can boast), but it ultimately remains, at the current state of events, a discreet pastime for fans of the genre who do not seek realism at any cost.

Brain Training for Nintendo Switch is undoubtedly the most substantial embodiment of Brain Training among those developed in that of Kyoto so far.

On one side, the free to play mechanics ultimately get into the inevitable grinding, which could bother some. On the other hand, gameplay can be loads of fun, and the irony is sincere.

It lasts about three hours, just over a feature film of the irresistible duo.

Art of Ink surely is an original product. It's quite particular, and this is, at the same time, its biggest quality and its biggest problem, as it may not appeal to everyone.

Zoo Tycoon stands halfway between a kids game and a deeper strategic experience.

Quotation forthcoming.
