In essence, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown convinced us almost without reservations. The adventure of Sargon and the Immortals in the heart of Mount Qaf is, without mincing words, one of the best metroidvanias around and yet another proof of the talent of Ubisoft Montpellier. It is a rather rich package in terms of content, equipped with a playful structure that works excellently in all its parts and embellished with a combat system that is at times galvanizing. While waiting for the announced remake of the unforgettable first chapter of the trilogy that began in 2003 (also lost in the Sands of Time?), fans of the series can rest easy: The Lost Crown is a delightful new beginning for the saga , a project that exudes all the passion instilled by its developers and a first, hopeful look at the future for one of the most important series of our beloved medium.

It will not be a revolutionary expansion like the previous one, but World of Warcraft is more alive than ever.

More varied than its predecessor, it's unique, fast and addicting. On top of that, it adds new layers to the peculiar narration, making it way more interesting.

It's not the best Super Smash Bros so far, but it perfectly fits on the handheld and has an impressive amount of content.

The Next Gen version of NBA 2K14 is undoubtedly a great example, especially on a technical level, of what players should be looking for in this new generation of consoles.

Although it is not adequately reinforced by a stylish design, Runner 3 is an experience that every fan of the arcade spirit must treasure.

After the continued and renowned support for the mainstay Civilization series, Firaxis couldn’t do less with its reboot of the historic XCOM series. Enemy Within is the first true expansion to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which radically changes the gameplay experience and also makes up for some “youthful indiscretions” like the small number of playable maps.

There's a ton of content to be enjoyed, and the gameplay offers enough depth even for the hardcore beat'em up fans.

This small Vanillaware pearl is a must have not only for its spectacular graphics, but also for a well crafted gameplay, scratched only by too lengthy and boring backtracking phases.

It's an accomplished experiment, that transformed itself from pure concept into a complete, and interesting experience. More a puzzle game than a shooter, but unlike anything else.

Agent 47 operates in a credible and consistent context, where reality, narrative licenses and pure fantasy converge in a perfect balance. Maybe it will not represent Io-Interactive’s final goal, but it can be considered as a great way forward to secure a bright future for our charismatic nameless assassin.

A strange sensorial experience: synaesthetic, charming, fascinating. More than a simple scrolling shooter, Child of Eden is the perfect mix of light and sound.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are complex and convincing games: a solid plot, a more varied gameplay and a very thoughtfully-created level design are the hallmarks of this new pokémon generation.

Silent Hill gives its best in this disturbing and psychological adventure.

Wii Sport Resort overtakes its predecessor in quality and quantity, resulting in a complete game experience.

Trials Rising does not innovate, it limits itself to perfecting a widely tested formula, improving, albeit marginally, almost all aspects from both a qualitative and a quantitative point of view.

Ultimately, the remake of Super Mario RPG presents itself to fans in an exceptional graphic format that covers the same gameplay that had projected the original Legend of the Seven Stars into the Olympus of the best JRPGs in the history of the medium. Although we understand how someone can turn up their nose at a gaming system that has essentially stopped thirty years ago, in our opinion it was essential that a game so important for Super Mario's 'career' reach a new audience in the most faithful form possible to the one that appeared on SNES in 1996. After all, Mario RPG is a very important piece in the evolutionary mosaic of the modern age of video games, one of those works of art that should be handed down to posterity and which deserve to be preserved for as long as possible. This is the best opportunity to fill any gap in your cultural background as a gamer.

The gameplay structure is thin, but the experience really compelling and filled with care for details. Fans of Warhammer Fantasy really should consider this game.

If we overlook the small discrepancies in balance (which, however, could be corrected shortly with a dedicated update program) and some content that is a little less focused compared to the high level of the rest of the production, Kirby Air Riders is a true masterclass in game design, the unmistakable fruit of the creative flair of one of the best authors that modern video games can boast.

Although the design of the new creatures does not shine, and the 3DS starts to show some limitations, Sun and Moon can be seen as the ultimate experience for any Pokémon fan.

The HD edition is well optimized on the technical side, and looks good on the console hardware. Yet, despite the commitment, the selling price should be lower.

Although the design of the new creatures does not shine, and the 3DS starts to show some limitations, Sun and Moon can be seen as the ultimate experience for any Pokémon fan.

An amazing cross-over, that melts two different styles in a very smart way.

Pokémon Sword and Shield are complex and convincing games: a solid plot, a more varied gameplay and a very thoughtfully-created level design are the hallmarks of this new pokémon generation.

It doesn't have the same impact that Fallout 3 had seven years ago, and there's no doubt about that. It's also less RPG and more action, especially when you look at how the combat system has changed, but that can work if you accept the evolution. Fallout 4 is a solid free roaming experience, vast and interesting to discover, but not a game that defines new standards for the genre.
