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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
