Lost Eidolons provides an unexpectedly interesting storyline, which remains engrossing until the end. Some wrinkles appear in both the audio and visual presentation, but these does not deter much from the core of the experience, which is none other than the gameplay.

It's perfectly clear that Milestone isn't trying in the slightest to take any risks in the newest sequel of Ride. it certainly provides a thrilling driving experience but the rest of the package is rapidly falling behind, be it in terms of visuals or content.

The Stone of Madness is a worthy addition to Commandos-esque strategy games. Its old monastery setting enhances the stealth gameplay and diverse cast of characters. While its difficulty can sometimes be frustrating and the design lacks variety, its beautiful visuals and macabre aesthetic more than make up for these shortcomings.

Another year, another MotoGP title that refuses to take any significant steps toward improving the experience. The graphics feel more obsolete with each annual release, while the content remains limited. The physics engine is still excellent, but it’s no longer enough to compensate for the lack of meaningful progress.

The arcade style gameplay -as well as the few available modes- may alienate some of the franchise's old fans, but that doesn't mean WWE All Stars lacks the quality and enjoyment that define THQ's games.

As a single player game it's just a mediocre shooter, but bring on some friends and you'll have hours upon hours of mindless fun.

Ghostwire Tokyo has some weaknesses, but with its fun to play combat and the beautiful presentation of Shibuya and its “visitors”, it will definitely pique your interest.

Hard, "old school" and rewarding. Hard Corps honors the genre, while it adds new ideas where they are needed.

Utawarerumono Mask of Truth is a hybrid JRPG/ Visual novel that gives a long awaited closure to the series. A closure that will satisfy everyone who has been waiting for the end of this saga for so many years.

Cindered Shadows brings the Three Houses’ Expansion Pass content to a definite conclusion, but without a bang. While its additions to the main campaign are somehow welcoming, the new story chapter is short and bland. Long-time fans of the series can be happy and excited with the challenging gameplay that has been a trademark of the series, but the overall quality of Cindered Shadows might not be enough to justify a Pass purchase, except to the players willing to experience all of the content Three Houses can offer.

Heavy Rain is still a good game with an interesting story, despite the fact that It was originally released 10 years ago. The PC version is a solid port, with the exception of the keyboard - mouse controls which have some problems. Nevertheless, it’s a great opportunity for PC gamers to experience it for the first time.

Patapon 2: Remastered brings the unique rhythm-strategy PSP game to the PlayStation 4 platform, but not without issues. Some scenes weren’t remastered and there is noticeable lag without using headphones. Still, the game retains its unique and challenging gameplay, and fans of the series will have many hours of fun.

Tainted Grail builds an excellent lore foundation, offering a vast canvas of intriguing quests and quirky characters in a bleak setting that never forgets its sense of humor. Exploration and diverse character building serve as the glue holding the experience together. Then comes Act 3, almost bringing the entire experience down, as it feels like this part of the game is still stuck in (very) early access.

While its atmosphere and overall world manage to conjure wonderful memories from our long lost childhood, the bad flow of the story, the ridiculous characters and the severely underwhelming puzzles make this game a lacking addition to the great roster of Daedelic.

In the genre of top-down action games there are far more competent choices. Ruiner seems to be over the top hard just for the sake of being hard, neglecting in the process to incorporate satisfying melee or shooting gameplay. Moreover, it may have the looks, thanks to the use of Unreal Engine 4, but its factory focused environments are extremely tiresome.

Although Get Even has a lot of pieces missing to be called a great game, it surely is one that worth the attention of players who like linear psychological horror games. It might not be the best in the genre, but it is clearly a great first try from Farm 51.

The remastered version of Epic MIckey: Rebrushed offers a welcome return to a well-crafted and charming platformer, updated with a much improved camera. While the forgettable boss fights and 2D levels remain, they ultimately don't detract from the overall fun experience.

Sniper Elite: Resistance doesn’t bring much innovation to the long-running series. While the solid level design and excellent sniping mechanics keep it fun, the familiar formula is starting to feel stale after so many entries.

A somewhat simple story and action gameplay are wrapped around an incredibly beautiful wrapper and are brought to life through an inspiringly gorgeous painting game, where your art literally becomes alive and brings light and color to the in-game world.

It’s not a bad game nor a very good one. It can offer 2-3 hours of non-stop action (that is if you skip the lengthy cutscenes) but it will probably be forgotten the moment you finish it. BunnyLord should seriously consider a more rigid campaign if he tries his changes on another election.

Even though some of its gameplay elements don’t really work (like, for example, the driving sessions) Valentino Rossi: The Game if full of Milestone’s “know how” of the genre and offers a complete motorcycle riding experience.

More of a filler than an actual new game in the franchise. We’ll wait for the next-gen step of this great racing series.

Unless you have a group of hardcore Star Trek fans ready to loose their inhibitions and go into live roleplaying, Star Trek Bridge Crew has little to offer with its simplistic gameplay, dated visuals and low quantity, quality and variety of missions.

Attack on Titan 2 could easily have been a remaster of the first Attack on Titan, since most of the content is the same as the original title. There is virtually nothing here to justify a new purchase.

A quite praiseworthy videogame, especially considering it was developed mostly by a one-man team. The level design is of top quality and one of the best indicators of how talented Lionel Gallat is, and is accompanied by a rich lore, an extremely likeable protagonist and visuals that are probably the most beautiful ever produced for a 3D game with the use of Unity.

It may not be in a position to dethrone Super Meat Boy, but Fenix Rage still provides an interesting jumping and dashing mechanic while featuring a vast variety of levels and challenges that will train your reflexes for many days.

Chernobylite may not be the deepest survival game or the most competent stealth/ shooter game, but it nevertheless completely hooked us in its Chernobyl setting as well as its mature story and characters, culminating in an excellently crafted final mission.

If you are familiar with (and a fan of) the musou gameplay and the overall mechanics of the series, Samurai Warriors 5 will keep you satisfied and busy for quite some time.

Even though this time Sly is more oriented towards a younger audience, Thieves in Time retains all the positive elements from previous games and delivers a solid experience.

Hot Pursuit was a great and extremely fun arcade racing game in its initial release, and it remains an enjoyable experience today in this remastered version. But we feel there were more things that should have been done with this version, things that were, sadly, left out.

Packed with content, all of the DLCs that have come out since the original game and upgraded graphics, this GTA clone will keep you happy till the "real deal" (GTAV) comes to the next-gen.

This obscure take on a legend of the Jewish religion has a remarkable art direction and some of the most beautiful graphics we've ever seen. Too bad the combat system is shallow and the overall gameplay doesn't live up to the standards of the art department.

The Ice Dragon delivers a very engaging ultimate episode packed with tense and dramatic moments, where our choices have a significant impact on the way events unfold. Overall, it’s unquestionably a fitting ending to another successful episodic series from Telltale.

An honest and beautiful tribute to the "Old Hollywood America" and Classic Adventure Gaming, that manages to overcome its problems due to its all-around warm feeling and aspirations.

An over-the-top but average roguelike game with an interesting card-upgrade system, crazy and colorful setting and flamboyant, eccentric aesthetics. It is certainly worth a try, but there's nothing... “magical” about it.

A breathtakingly beautiful and inspiring adventure that no matter its faults, offers a wonderful experience to the fans of adventure games.

By keeping the same design and basic gameplay principle from other franchises -such as The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us- Telltale delivered an interesting twist on the Game of Thrones saga that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This is surely the best way to experience a classic and beloved game. Age of Empires III Definitive Edition is a major upgrade to the original even though its gameplay shows its age.

Unfortunately, the first downloadable content for Assassinʼs Creed Brotherhood adds nothing really new and is offering a superficial plot and mission objectives that we have already seen. A couple of good platforming missions, along with the new and quite exciting Assassinate multiplayer mode, just aren't enough to justify the price tag of this DLC.

Drawing inspiration from such classics as Limbo and Bastion, Nihilumbra will travel you to a beautiful world full of clever puzzles and great platforming moments.

A beautiful and full of nostalgia remake of the original classic from the '80s, albeit with poor controls that can damage the overall experience.

Although the 5-6 hours adventure doesn’t outstay its welcome it nevertheless doesn’t manage to surpass or even reach the unquestionable charm of Stories: The Path of Destinies. The dramatic murder mystery cannot sustain the interest throughout the somewhat predictable or unexciting reveals and the quite linear progression seems to come at odds with the main “Groundhog Day” storytelling approach. Not be too harsh, it’s a quite enjoyable adventure but we preferred much more the heart-warming misadventures of Reynardo.

If you enjoy music&rhythm platformers, then Beatbuddy will offer you more than 5 hours of gaming in a sea of electronic music.

Strangely enough, Chronicles of the Wolf takes inspiration from Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, arguably the weakest 2D entry in the series. It’s not much of a surprise, then, that the map design falls short of the genre’s best, requiring a lot of tiring backtracking, even by Metroidvania standards. The pixel art is certainly charming, but overall this is not quite a memorable ode to a legendary series.

Nostalgic feelings aside, the Remastered edition of Duck Tales is a truly enjoyable platformer ideal for young and older gamers.

Even hardcore fans of the Suikoden series will have a hard time finding a reason to play the spiritual successor, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. The protagonists are bland, the challenge of the combat non-existent, its story uninspired and the myriad bugs a constant source of frustration.

The Outlast Trials definitively manages to differentiate itself from the previous titles. It achieves that be becoming a coop game without losing its horror elements in the process. Its repetitive nature may be the one major shortcoming, nevertheless, fans of the genre should not miss it.

A fine example of 4X strategy, Sorcerer King may not have what it takes to compare with the best of its genre; nonetheless, it’s a great and uncomplicated first step for newcomers, offering at the same time a substitute for veterans.

A game that sticks to its roots, for better or for worse. It could be entertaining to the max for fans, but probably won't succeed in pulling in a new audience.

If you are a League of Legends fan there is nothing here you haven't seen before. On the other hand, if you want to see what the fuss is about MOBA games, call some good friends and enjoy the thrilling competition that Guardians of Middle Earth can offer.

Overall and while we focus on the positive aspects of the game we can see some really encouraging premises built up for a forthcoming major RE title, even though there is some evident lack of identity and some design choices that don’t do justice to the rest of the work that’s been put to the game. Still, Capcom delivered the first almost satisfying RE title in years.

VirtuaVerse is a cyberpunk point & click adventure set in a future not so far away, narrating tales of technomancers, AVR graffiti writers, hacker groups, tribes of cryptoshamans, digital archeology, epic cyberwars and virtual reality debauchery.

The variety in areas and monsters are its strong points, with the combat offering good fun with controversial choices. Its big problem is the lack of rhythm in its gameplay, as a result of which the title passes as an indifferent "binge watch" for the weekend.

If you own the original game then there's not much here for you. But if you haven't and you are looking for the best 3D fighter for your shiny, new PS4, you can't go wrong with the Last Round edition of DOA5.

Some especially beautifully designed environments and epic boss battles are not enough to overcome the repetitiveness of its level design and the especially frustrating hordes of minions which attacks from 360 degrees, while ignoring physical walls.

Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection is exactly what the word "reimagined" should mean. A loved and classic franchise, loyal to its roots, having a new life. Although the mechanics are really obsolete, it is an old-school game brilliantly crafted.

Temple of Osiris is a worthy successor to the Guardian of Light and is going to offer a lot of fun (especially when you try the co-op mode) even if it doesn't last long enough.

Following in the footsteps of genre giants, Ara: History Untold tells the story of building an empire that stands the test of time. With impressive visuals that allow players to connect deeply with the map, and mechanics that aim to transform the aspects of growth and construction, the game offers a refreshing experience. However, it's hindered by flawed AI, poor diplomacy, and issues in upgrading units. Ara: History Untold holds great potential, but will probably need some more time before it can fully realize it.

As an “interactive experience” Batman Arkham VR offers some great visuals and full immersion inside the world of the Dark Knight, but we can’t overlook the fact that it is an extremely short game with little to no replay value.

The PS4 edition of Dead Nation has some visual improvements over the original, but the highlight here is, without a doubt, the Broadcast+ mode.

For the first time western gamers have the opportunity to play this great game, but you must be warned that Romancing SaGa 3 is implementing all the familiar features of the series, like the high challenge and the intense grinding. Inevitably, this means that this hardcore game is not suitable for everyone.

LEGO DC Super-Villains is just another game based on the LEGO formula with a complete and interesting villain roster and perfect voice cast choices. However, after so many LEGO releases we can't forgive Tt Games for the total lack of innovation and for problems that continue to exist after so many years.

It's not a bad game. It just hasn't anything new to offer compared to the first installment from 2009 . So, if you're new to the franchise, you're going to have a good time. If not, don't expect much.

The second DLC pack for Black Ops III is overpriced for the content it offers, but if you love the Zombies mode the Zetsubou No Shima map will keep you occupied for quite some time.

What it lacks in content Everybody's Golf VR almost makes up with its superb gameplay and wonderful implementation of VR mechanics. It's not the best game that has come out from Clap Hanz, but it is enjoyable nonetheless.

While it has its flaws, this new version of Gabriel Knight is as powerful and as suspenseful as it was 20 years ago. Let’s just hope it paves the way for the return of the legendary hero and the much awaited Gabriel Knight 4.

Sushi Ben is slightly on the short side, but it nevertheless offers an enjoyable and relaxing experience with a fun story and pleasant manga art aesthetic.

Despite some shortcomings in its menu design and the investigation mechanics, this new Famicom Detective Club chapter will more than satisfy fans of the series and of the visual novel genre alike, thanks to its mature writing and quality audio design.

Titan Souls manages to pay a tribute to Shadow of the Colossus, one of the greatest treasures of gaming, offering small and fast-paced titan battles that escalate to glorious one-shot kills. Next time we hope that the developers would add a bit of story background in order to have a proper connection to the world and the battles we face.

Alien: Rogue Incursion is a VR experience worthy of the franchise’s legacy. While it has a few rough patches, they don’t take away from the excellent atmosphere and story.

The Thaumaturge has a immensely interesting lore foundation but, alas, it never manages to build upon it. The plot development is highly derivative and just plain tiring and slow, while its combat system becomes repetitive quickly, despite having some nice ideas.

An excellent old school, challenging sci-fi Metroidvania that stays true to the genre but does nothing we've never seen before.

Despite giving the sense of some underdeveloped gameplay mechanics, Neversong manages to tell a dark tale about child trauma in a poetic, nightmarish narrative, using odd characters, exceptional art and strong symbolism.

Creative Assembly shows serious signs of fatigue in this new iteration of Total War. This new sequel lacks any kind of ambition or innovations, with its limited content impacting its replayability and the subpar A.I. leaving a lot to be desired. Pharaoh ends up being one of the more weak entries of the series.

Devil May Cry is an eighteen-year old classic -with all its mechanisms intact- that tries to allure a new audience; one that is for playing on the go. It does its best to come up to modern times, but ultimately fails to provide a solid reason for a purchase. The lack of any elements that could have improved or expanded the original version, plus the lack of the other two games that come together as an HD collection in other platforms can only make us skeptical regarding its existence.

It is essentially a tower defense game in its more simplistic form, something that is its bigger positive and drawback at the same time. It is extremely easy to build your kingdom and provide tense defense situations, but its simplicity creates many hurdles on the way those defenses could be constructed.

Rainbow Six: Siege may give the impression of being a work in progress still but it nevertheless delivers a tense tactical experience for those of you who will manage to play it with friends willing to participate in solid teamwork.

A dark stealth tactics game is a useful addition for the Nintendo Switch library, and although Alder’s Blood is a really interesting game, it’s biggest flaw is this exact element, that it doesn’t work that well on consoles.

Gestalt is finally released, but unfortunately, it only meets the bare minimum to be considered a metroidvania. Platforming is very basic and both the combat and enemy behavior feels dated and perfunctory.

If you can overlook the dated graphics and some bugs, in Blackguards 2 you'll find a great tactical RPG, true to the spirit of "The Dark Eye' franchise.

9 Years of Shadows is a typical metroidvania which still manages to draw attention thanks to its interesting design and the somewhat eccentric elements of its world building.

The Famicom Detective Club titles are a piece of Japanese gaming history that has finally graced the western markets. They can be a milestone in the visual representation, a great example of what future visual novel titles can become. They can also be a great nuisance to players, due to their archaic investigation and progression mechanisms that shout their age loud.

Some of its ideas work and others don't, but Binary Domain can really offer some solid third-person shooting hours.

Despite some of its shortcomings and a very sudden ending Deponia is a wonderfully crafted adventure game that will more than satisfy fans of the genre.

Despite the fact that the tedious repetitive mechanisms are part of the game, The Escapists goes beyond that and introduces players to a new level of strategic approach that’s being followed by the proportionate rewards that similar games simply don’t have.

Lunark is a great, albeit a bit short, ode to Another World, Flashback and the other few cinematic platforms of a bygone era. Although we would have liked the pixel art to be more refined, we nevertheless thoroughly enjoyed Leo’s adventure.

A wondrous return by King Art Games. The Raven Ep1 sows the field in anticipation for a wonderful yet classic detective adventure.

Even though its technology is somewhat dated, this tactical-RPG has immense depth and a great “consequences” game design that offers a unique experience.

In spite of its drawbacks, Magicka is a nice and entertaining game that pays a tribute to classic action-RPGs of old. There are some clever ideas here and there that will keep you going, but definitely nothing that will be remembered after the end credits.

A well crafted and quite charming anthology of music with a lot of content from Kingdom Hearts titles that, however, is missing some important songs.

Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 is a decent game that may become a nice starting point for beginners. However, the most loyal fans of cards games will be annoyed by the limited customization capabilities of the decks.

Fatal Frame II returns with significant updates, enhancing its already excellent horror atmosphere through modernised visuals and effects. The addition of a stalker mechanic may be somewhat questionable, however, the new gameplay and story content are more than welcome for those who played the original. A 60fps mode on consoles would have been appreciated, though the 30fps performance isn’t a major hindrance to enjoying its well-crafted horror experience.

Saints Row The Third is probably still the best game in the series, and with this remastered version it gets even better with its upgraded visuals. There's nothing really new or innovative here to see, just lots of shooting and crazy fun.

A puzzle-platformer with a unique art direction and some serious challenges. If you can bear the trial-and-error logic behind it you should give it a try.
