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.
