Creates a sense of deep and pervasive restlessness.

It suffers from repetitiveness and a lack of variety in its quests. But if you want a simple TPS that doesn't need a lot of thinking, you can give it a chance. And you can also end it without the needing a cent.

The Sims Freeplay is not free and honestly is not even "play". Indeed you actually can't play it if you don't want to spend money for getting all the actions complete. We found this slow gameplay really frustrating and we hope that EA will listen to the users.

Even if aspects like online multiplayer, graphic filters and general presentation have been taken care of, the absence of really interesting extras makes this project a kind of wasted opportunity.

The guys from Arc System Works have hit the target again, creating an articulated, unbridled and fun but also accessible and innovative combat system.

The surprise debut - no surprise - of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion coincides with the return to the market of a role-playing game that is nothing short of memorable, which marked a fundamental stage in the journey of the series and its genre. The one put together by Virtuos is an atypical remake, which tries to reconcile a twenty-year-old gaming soul with a brand new body. Both the soul and the body show some significant rough edges, but it is truly impossible not to appreciate the work done by the Singapore team, creators of a Cyrodiil that resembles the one in our memories more than the scenario actually explored at the beginning of the 2000s. This is no small feat, mind you.

Even on WiiU, Pullblox is an entertaining and fun experience.

A few hours spent in the company of Knockout City were enough to understand how it is a title with great potential and with a concept capable of capturing the attention of users belonging to all age groups due to immediate and fun gameplay.

World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap is an interesting title, a good hybrid between a Tower Defence and an Action-RPG, but that becomes repetitive too soon.

A title with strong elements of originality, a sumptuous eye-catcher and a nice and dynamic combat system, to be counted among the big ones in this dense video game season.

Those who pretend to find swords and guns in video games would do better to look for them elsewhere.

Judgment is a solid title, with a strong narrative section and an absolutely convincing pool of new faces.

Supported by an enchanting artistic direction and a tantalizing and very precise gameplay, Builder's Journey has only one major flaw: an almost never difficult difficulty that allows the completion of the 34 levels in a matter of hours.

Keeper offers a short journey, and that in itself is certainly not a flaw. The real issue lies in the way the adventure's time has been managed, with the first half containing its most visually and gameplay-wise brilliance. Unfortunately, just when it decides to mix things up, Double Fine's work suffers a dip in quality that's hard to ignore. Even if it's followed by a more successful and genuinely refreshing final section, it still makes a significant impact on a four-hour experience. If you're looking for a relaxing game that's not short on inexplicable creatures and fascinating scenarios—and this is even more true if you have a young player to keep you company—then give Keeper a chance. Those looking to experience Double Fine's "next big thing" would be wise to wait for future updates from Schafer and his team.

Forza Motorsport 5 has grown along with the new Microsoft console, and it is perfect for the launch of the new console. The feeling is that Turn 10 could do more, but even so the racing game by Dan Greenwalt and his team stimulates his enthusiasts.

Dustforce is a unusual and brilliant scrolling videogame, starring a task force of powerful janitors. With broom and vacuum cleaner, we will sweep the game levels by all sorts of garbage. Cleaning has never been so fun.

One of the best stealth experiences in this generation. Great freedom comes from a sandbox structure that allows the player to decide how to take out his targets. Multiplayer gives a boost to duration and add some extra flavor challenge.

If we had to define Planet of Lana 2 in one word, it would definitely be "maturity." The same maturity the development team has poured into this work, both in terms of story and gameplay, improving it in every aspect. Ultimately, the series is a little gem because, like its protagonist, it looks to the past with admiration while resolutely aiming for new directions in an adventure that still has much to tell.

MachineGames delivers a solid shooter. Old school mechanics meets an incredible story in a long and compelling adventure.

In the ocean of remastered and remakes for their own sake, we are happy to be able to enthusiastically welcome the work done by Avantgarden on Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake, a graphic and sound remake which, in the opinion of the writer, should be the standard for those who aim to relaunch their works on the market. It is a reissue that exudes love for the work done by Josef Fares and his team, and therefore worthy of respect. Whether you know the work or not, as the credits roll, it will be impossible not to get caught up in the emotion.

Yakuza 3 arrives in Europe with an unforgivable delay and few cuts. Plus, it inherits from the second chapter an old gen structure and repetitious fights. Just for fans.

NBA Jam in its incarnation for the Nintendo Wii is a good arcade game. Unfortunately, the lack of online game and a certain flatness of gameplay make NBA Jam only a good game and not a masterpiece of the genre.

It has a major flaw (the migration of the host) and some smudges that prevent it from doing something more, but the virtual reality, in this new season, starts from here.

Net of some balancing problems, and some declines in the quality of the level design, the first Eternal DLC therefore marks an excellent debut for the post-launch journey of the title, with the complicity of a high-impact artistic direction and accompaniment substantially perfect musical.

Respawn Entertainment has decisively imposed a creative idea that we can consider fully promoted, albeit with some reservations towards a technical sector that would have deserved more finishing.

An arranged version of Amplitude (or Frequency). Suitable for an handheld machine, but still a little bit old.

Metroid: Other M has missed some of the expectations. The gameplay is flawed by some choices, and the control system is far from perfection. Still it has its merits: graphics are outstanding, and so is the combat, but it lacks most of the atmosphere of the previous installments. Other M is surely a Metroid, it represents a new way in the series, but it cannot stand as its definitive evolution.

Puzzle Craft is a perfect concentration of the components of the best puzzle and social games.
