    NBA Live 16 is a conflicting game: it desperately wants to be a simulation, but in the end it's almost too easy for the player. It's a little bit better than the previous installments, but it desperately needs a more clear direction for the future.

    This game offers more quantity than quality: a lot of things to do and to unlock, but the combat system and the graphics are definitely second-rate.

    Let's make it short: Extreme Exorcism is the perfect filler between AAAs, especially when you play the Challenge mode.

    Animal Crossing has always been a peculiar experience. This spin-off, however, with its boring and repetitive gameplay, can't manage to catch the interest of the player.

    Onechanbara Z2: Chaos is the most comprehensive and polished episode of the entire (and rather puckish) franchise. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that it's something we can recommend, unless you find it on sale.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, the biggest and most ambitious work from Hajime Tabata (the man behind the anticipated Final Fantasy XV), is a game that constantly struggles between genius and mediocrity, and the PC porting does not help, on way or the other. Few technical improvements, and very few new features.

    Lost Dimension is a visual novel disguised as a tactical RPG. It's a pretty unique and original title, unfortunately troubled by very low production values. Keep in mind that the PS Vita version is a little bit better than the PS3 one.

    Resident Evil Revelations 2 was a decent game when it first come out, and this porting for PS Vita is well done, even if it doesn't add anything truly remarkable. Considering the shortage of games for the Sony portable console, it might be worth a try.

    Devil’s Third is a real disappointment: a game that shows a lack of ideas, and a more than mediocre production. The multiplayer might become slightly interesting in the future, but for now it's a title that you can easily forget about.

    Undoubtedly a niche product, Sword Art Online RE: Hollow Fragment is perfect for cosplayers and hardcore fans of Reki Kawahara's novels, but it won't probably be remembered for being a great dungeon crawler.

    The porting of ZombiU on other platforms is decent, and the new control system is well implemented; the game is still good, with its great atmosphere and a nice mix of survival elements. The graphics, though, are almost identical to the original, and that's not a compliment.

    Sometimes you are moved. Sometimes you laugh. For the most part, though, you get bored. The first episode of The King's Quest reboot has tremendous production values, with its over-the-top voice over and the extraordinary artistic direction, but the game relies too much on backtracking and tedious quests, and too little on the (clever and well-thought) puzzles. We can only hope for a drastic change of pace for the second episode.

    Sorcerer King has a couple of interesting and original features, but Stardock focused a little bit too much on them, overlooking the pillars of the 4X genre, especially the AI of the enemies and the variety of the playable races. It's not a bad game, but definitely overpriced for what it can offer.

    An ugly game with broken old-school mechanics. Consider buying it if you are a Godzilla fan and after a cut price only.

    Tamriel Unlimited is a good porting, but the game on console suffers from the same conceptual problems of the PC version. Try it if you are a fan of The Elder Scrolls saga only.

    Codemasters misses the first next-gen attempt with a game poor of content, despite the presence of a good engine and a full F1 license.

    Ronin took some risks, trying to mix two very different genres, and combining them in what ends up being a stiff, repetitive yet short game. The concept is intriguing. The execution, not so much.

    This third episode of the Telltale incursion into the Borderlands universe starts off reaaaally slow, gaining pace towards the end, with a great cliffhanger and some interesting twists between a couple of characters. A decent filler: nothing more, nothing less.

    Natsume tried to bring the series back to its roots, scratching out some features, but in the process something got lost, primarily the feeling of discovery and fulfillment of the first episodes. Pass.

    Spike Chunsoft tried to create something unique with its J-Stars Victory VS Plus, and we appreciate the effort, but the truth is that we can easily file this game under the "nice try" category. Beautiful to see, not fun to play.

    With a little bit more courage and polish, Reincarnation could have been a great starting point for a reboot of a classic franchise. The gameplay is still fun and silly, but there is nothing really new here.

    Shark Punch makes its debut in the real-time tactics genre with some charming ideas, starting with an original setting and some well-crafted levels. Unfortunately, some questionable design choices, a less than average AI and a poor technical production clip the wings of a potentially nice title.

    A useless game, more than a bad game. Give it a chance if you find it on sale only.

    As a game, Ultra Street fighter IV is a blast, full of content that will keep you busy until the fifth chapter. The PS4 version, though, is a rather poor conversion.

    Fossil Fighters Frontier is nothing more than a Pokémon rip-off, where the familiar little monsters are replaced by dinosaurs. A mediocre title that could appeal only to young lovers of the ancient, extinct reptiles. Forgettable.

    This third and final DLC of The Evil Within took an unexpected (but welcome) action turn: after countless hours spent measuring out every single bullet, The Executioner is a nearly cathartic experience. Anyway, do not expect much more than a couple of hours of fighting, gore, and violence.

    No dice. Nero is a failure, however you look at it. It's a (pricey) indie title, but nevertheless it's technically more than mediocre; gameplay and storytelling are trite and stale, and so are the puzzles. Nero is the Italian word for black, and this game truly gives the developers a black eye.

    An interesting mix between SOTC and a souls-like game. Unfortunately, Titan Souls is very short and the checkpoint system is a little bit broken. "Prepare to die, minimal edition" could be the best quote to describe the game in a couple of words.

    It may not be the worst porting in history of videogames, but it comes pretty close. Xenoblade Chronicles 3D is still a great game, but we strongly advise you to play it on Wii.

    Battlefield Hardline should have restored the good name of the series, but it pays the piper for a production that needed more polish. The netcode for the multiplayer is OK and the battles are pretty fun, but everything here is pretty standard, and nothing really stands out.

    Atlas Mugged is an interlocutory episode, with no surprises and no boring moments as well. Let's wait for the next one.

    Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea is basically a more of the same, which is not necessarily a bad thing. If anything, we'd have appreciated more attention to the old fans of the saga, rather than making things simpler for newcomers.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 is a sumptuous action-RPG set in fascinating and unusually adult universe. Unfortunately, this HD version could have been better, mostly for the constrains of its mobile origin.

    Bladestorm: Nightmare is a decent HD conversion of a real time tactical title, sadly overlooked when it was released on old-gen consoles. The new story mode is a perfect fit for fans, but Omega Force could have definitely made something more.

    Nothing more and nothing less than a porting from the iOS version. Buy it only if you have an immoderate love for Sid Meier.

    In the never-ending universe of puzzlers/platformers, Shiftlings has some interesting idea and an original twist, but some repetitive gameplay elements and a steep difficulty curve prevent the game from fulfilling its potential.

    The idea of letting us play the legendary Celebrimbor was a great one, that probably deserved a better treatment (maybe even a complete game), rather than a flimsy and pretty short DLC.

    The enormous amount of characters, weapons and costumes are just a facade that hides a pretty tedious hack'n'slash title. Dynasty Warriors is a huge saga, spanning hundreds of titles, but this is one you can definitely avoid.

    This new entry in the Mushroom Men saga is simply broken, and for a lot of reasons: mostly, the less than accurate controls and its exceedingly frustrating trial & error nature.

    Dragon Ball Xenoverse doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary from a narrative standpoint, but it will please everyone looking for a nice fighting game, especially if played online with some friends.

    Basically your standard trivia game (of course), Trivial Pursuit Live! is a good title, fun to play with your friends, but only if they are actually in your living room. The online component is too cramped and limited: you can't setup a match with a friend, and it's far too easy to cheat.

    Like modern soccer, you need a lot of money to thrive and achieve success. Top Eleven 2015 is a nice game, with a good management system and a whiff of the old Championship Managers, but is ruined by a pay-to-win approach that basically forces the player to invest money in order to advance in the game.

    Boring, hard to control and with an insipid level design. You could probably have some fun with the online mode, but nothing more.

    Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed won’t be remembered as a classic, and the PS4 port fails to deliver the portable experience on home console.

    Despite its technical flaws, Cities XXL is a real extra-large city builder, fun and enjoyable, with a solid foundation built on the pillars of the genre, and notable additions to the building and managing elements of the gameplay.

    Remastered or not remastered? That is the question. This new edition of the best game in the HOMM saga adds a lot of new multiplayer features, but the gameplay is still the same, and the fact that all the expansions are missing is unacceptable.

    The racing component is fun, the US map is really huge, and the sense of progression is very good, but in the end The Crew falls short of its own ambition, torn between a single-player arcade racer and a full-flegded MMO experience.

    This collection is a good bargain for newcomers of the little Nintendo console; for those who already played the original titles there is nothing really new, apart from some small graphic improvements. Beware: the Italian language is not supported.

    If you were expecting some huge expansion, you are likely to be sorely disappointed. Bungie delivered a pretty thin DLC, crafted with spare parts of the original game, designed for skilled players, that will leave you wanting for something more.

    A fast-paced, old-school shoot'em up, fun to play while it lasts, but that unfortunately suffers from a poor artistic direction, a lack of original ideas, disappointing bosses, and a schizophrenic level of difficulty.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    The game is a very poor (and expensive) porting of the title already available on iOS. Some quests and random events are well-written, but the gameplay is too repetitive and gets tedious quickly.
