Gears 5 is a very solid chapter of one of the cornerstones of gaming in Xbox format: an episode that proudly reaffirms the vigorous soul of Lancer's armed fighters and the talent of a studio like The Coalition, stopping just a step away from absolute excellence.

After the somehow disappointing Naxxramas, Blizzard is back at its trading card game, adding what makes the players' hearts beat faster: loads of cards. It does so with good balancing, and really expanding the strategy of the game, so if you love Hearthstone, this will always be a good choice to keep playing.

A simple yet brilliant indie, immediate and at the same time profound, which phenomenally mixes genius and unruliness.

A bi-dimensional Souls-like, bestowed with an original and compelling combat system. Waiting for the next Souls, this might be the perfect choice.

The reduced launch price is definitely a plus point to allow another masochistic ride between Anor Londo and Oolacile, but keeping in mind that Dark Souls Remastered is just the shadow of that flame that many expected.

A perfect spin-off, that mix up the classic gameplay of Megaten saga with tactical elements.

It's hard to judge and episodic game by its premiere, but this first chapter in undoubtedly very well crafted, and it will please both Borderlands' and Telltales' fans.

The steps forward made by Forza Motorsport in terms of the driving system and simulation care are evident, including the important work done to further improve the drivers' AI, which as far as we are concerned reaches peaks of excellence, like the visual presentation . Despite the renewed car upgrade system, the career mode proved to be more tied to the past than we hoped and at times seemed lacking in bite, but this shouldn't be misleading: we are faced with a solid, satisfying and fun, which certainly won't disappoint fans of racing games.

The core simulation is almost perfect, but the shortage of game modes is a serious flaw.

UFC undisputed is a intriguing tribute to martial arts. Deep and complex, should not be missed by sports fans.

In short, it remains a recommended purchase for the nostalgic of the Konami series and for those who love the Metroidvania genre.

An excellent bill.

Proposed as an encounter between Ikaruga and Prince of Persia, Outland disappoints most of the expectations. The excellent graphics package, the opposition between light and shade, isn't enough to hide a gameplay often understated. Outland conflicts with a level design unable to enhance the gameplay. A good fighting system and memorable boss battles help a little.

The Switch version of Rayman Legends earns the title of the Definitive Edition in full swing, offering an experience that, while lacking in real-life content, exploits the peculiarities of the new hybrid Nintendo console so as to be the best Incarnation of Ubisoft Montpellier title.

Gears Of War 4 is an honest act of love for the saga, and for the countless fans who - over ten years - never stopped hoping for a glorious return to the heyday of the brand.

The online really shines, since it's able to offer something new in Warzones and something really solid and classic with Arena mode. On the other hand, the campaign focuses too much on cooperative Covenant killing, and much less on the quality of the script, and that, considering the precious heritage of the saga, is a real shame.

After 25 years Day of the Tentacle is still a brilliant game. Irresistible, ironical, with an outstanding style and an amazing screenplay. Double Fine did a great job with the remastering process, modernizing every aspect of the game.

Football Manager 2012 is the best choice if you want to bring a football team to victory. A new interface, tutorials and significant changes to the transfer and contract systems make it the most realistic football management simulation.

Although the package includes all DLCs published for Dragon Blood Adventure, the choice to distribute - for the umpteenth time - the full-game play is somewhat indigestible and inelegant.

Trine 2: Director's Cut is a seriously recommended title. The enthusiasts of the modern platform will find a fascinating product, characterized by a delicious artistic direction and an intelligent gameplay.

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.

One of the best action games for Nintendo Wii. Hilarious, entertaining and funny to play.

Just like the best Yakuza games, Like a Dragon shows us what could be in store for this series.

It's hard, harsh and unforgiving. It might be the perfect challenge if you're looking for something similar.

For all fans of the discipline in question and racing games in general, this Dirt Rally 2.0 is really an almost obligatory stop. If only there had been virtual reality support, it would probably have been the perfect rally game.

Unity of Command is a good turn based strategy game: so difficult but so accurate and deep. A must have for all fans of this genre, but a little bit too difficult for all others.

It's a content-filled expansion, one the fans were really waiting for. Blizzard is making the best of its trading card game.

Red Matter 2 is the perfect sequel to the first chapter from both a narrative and a technical point of view. The performance on Oculus Quest 2 is excellent and the graphics sector is sensational, so much so as to make this title better than many PCVR projects with more hardware resources available. The story proceeds with many more surprises than that of the predecessor and unfolds in different scenarios, presenting some new mechanics at their best. While it proved problematic in specific shooting stages, the gameplay as a whole is rich and offers several hours of fun and wonder for both VR novices and veterans alike. If you have played the progenitor of the series, know that this sequel may surprise you, thanks to a dystopian sci-fi universe at times surprising.
