    Despite the notable absence of the first Borderlands in this collection, the sheer amount of content and fun of The Handsome Collection is bound to make everyone happy. If you've never been a Vault Hunter, now's the time to jump on board.

    Ride is a good racing game, with an excellent driving model. The career is a little outdated, at least in 2015, and there are some technical issues, but overall it's a great experience for all the bikers out there.

    The Sword in the Darkness is the third and the best episode so far. Play it, enjoy it and wait for the new one.

    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.

    One of the best Monster Hunter clones, despite some technical issues and a prominent old-school approach. Give it a chance.

    We can't but confirm our good impression about Life is Strange: a great interactive novel, with a charming art direction, an awesome soundtrack, and a plot that's getting even more complicated.

    Forget the excruciating loading times and the grumpy framerate: Bloodborne is a wonderful game. Period. Every PS4 owner should go and buy it, no question asked. It requires an utter devotion to the cause, but it repays the player like no other game does. As they say, blood will out.

    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.

    Simply, the best Out Run version out there, even without the Prancing Horse on the body. A timeless classic in your pocket.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A good L4D clone. Unfortunately, the price is too high compared to the offer, especially if you have previously played the first two episodes on PC.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is what SimCity should have been. Simply, the best city builder so far, with great support for modders and a lot of fun for all fans of the genre.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    No more than a decorous porting of the original PS3/360 game: technically good, but one step behind the luxuriant Black Flag.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Resident Evil Revelations 2 is a robust title, despite its low-budget production. The gameplay is somehow simpler, closer to the old chapters of the saga, and yet still captivating.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones has a nimble story and an adorable set of characters. It may not be the most revolutionary RPG ever made, but if you are a fan of soccer (and anime), you are all in for a real treat.

    Played with friends or family, Mario Party always guarantees a good time. True, some mini games are better than others, and there are no great revolutions to be found, but throw in a couple of new game modes, and Mario Party 10 is the funniest title for your Wii U.
    • 72 Metascore

    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.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    Nothing more and nothing less than a porting from the iOS version. Buy it only if you have an immoderate love for Sid Meier.
    • 80 Metascore

    The Assignment is a good DLC, with more survival-oriented gameplay and tailored to the fans of the original The Evil Within. It may come a little short, considering that it will take less than three hours to complete it.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    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.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The best looking 2D game ever, there is no doubt. If you love metroidvania games, Ori and the Blind Forest is a master of the genre, despite some trial & error moments and a couple of bugs.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    We could praise the gameplay, art direction, and soundtrack, one by one, but the truth is that they literally become one. They become Hotline Miami. It's not a perfect game (and it can be pretty difficult at times), but its style is so hypnotic and deep you won't forget it anytime soon.
    • 83 Metascore

    Hard to recommend DMC: Definitive Edition to everyone who have already played the original title. It's still a great action game, blessed by new 60fps 1080p graphics, and it's definitely a must have for those who missed it two years ago.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    A real blast from the past. A wonderful remake of the first two titles of the Homeworld saga, with awesome new graphics and a revamped UI that improve an already excellent RTS. A true must-have, no questions asked.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A much plumper DLC than Escape from Durgesh Prison, Valley of the Yetis offers a new location and some fresh ideas like the night assaults. A must-have, at least if you loved the original Far Cry 4.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    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.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    White Night is a gorgeous, unexpected surprise, crafted by a three-person team. Despite some issues (most notably the camera movement and some frustrating moments), it's a good and original survival horror. Keep a spare pair of underwear at hand.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is proof that it's possible to make a great graphic adventure, even in 2015. It's pretty difficult and requires more attention than your average puzzler, but you'll love the art direction, the story and the humour.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Do not expect nothing more than the usual, consolidated formula of Mini-land Mayhem!, that will possibly offer so much more in the future. This spiritual successor is really fun and engaging, but it's high time Nintendo came up with some new ideas.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Tip of the hat to Frontier for attempting something new and genuinely fun, although not perfect. The main campaign is pretty short, but the real success of ScreamRide will rely on the quality and quantity of content created by the community.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    OlliOlli 2 is a good old "more of the same", with slight graphical improvements, new tricks and grinds. The resulting gameplay is always fun and more varied, but at the same time much more difficult than the original.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Helldivers is a solid twin-stick shooter that will force you to use your brain, not only your pad. Addictive with friends, boring when played alone. Give it a chance: you might be surprised.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    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.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    République Remastered is a little gem, especially if you believe that everything around you is a conspiracy. Inspired by legends of the stealth genre such as Metal Gear and Resident Evil, it manages to keep its own identity, and to be a great showcase of the new Unity 5 Engine.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    DoA 5 Last Round is the right game at the right time, considering how much fans of the genre have been waiting for a good beat-em up on their new console. The reasonably low price and the great amount of content definitely help.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A well-done and solid title, a simple yet intriguing metroidvania. There's a little bit of backtracking and the game is pretty short, but the replayability is good and the price is definitely right.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ready at Dawn brings out the best-looking title we've ever seen on a PS4 so far. The Order: 1886 delivers a great gameplay experience, wonderful art direction and a compelling storyline that unfortunately ends too abruptly, leaving us wanting for more.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 68 Critic Score
    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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    At the end of the day, Super Stardust Ultra is a more polished edition of the PS3 version, therefore we hardly recommend it if you already played it. If you didn't, though, this is an excellent twin-stick shooter that should not be missed.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Boring, hard to control and with an insipid level design. You could probably have some fun with the online mode, but nothing more.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Evolve is a good game or a bad game, depending on what you are searching for. There's a lot of potential, partially unexpressed because of the necessity of playing with friends (avoid the strangers!) and the absence of loot and crafting. Give it more than a chance, especially if you have previously played L4D.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.

    With this chapter, Creative Assembly brings the Total War franchise to a new level. You can consider it a great - and fresh - start.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is, hands-down, the best installment in the Capcom Saga. The game improves basically every gameplay element that long-time fans know and love, and it's the first title to really show the capabilities of the New Nintendo 3DS. A must have.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Grow Home is like a raw diamond, and as such it must be treated. It's original, fun, and intriguing, but it needs a little more polishing.
    • 78 Metascore

    God of War has finally found his 2D little brother. It's a fascinating title, with great art direction and a well-balanced gameplay.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Neocore Games has mixed two different genres in an unique tower defense. Despite some balance issues, Deathtrap is a fun game, able to keep the player engaged for several hours.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A typical in-between episode, with the usual dramatic atmosphere. No dragons yet, unfortunately, but somehow we'll deal with it.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A great porting of the original N64 title that pushes the New Nintendo 3DS hardware to the limit. A must-have for all the Zelda fans (but you already know that, right?) and for everyone looking for something great to put in their new console.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Forget Dead Island, the most famous production from Techland. Dying Light is more "survival", and more "horror". It's not a perfect game, but it's pretty scary and challenging, especially if you love parkour.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Dontnod manages to create a new, fascinating and compelling world. A true chrysalis, that can hopefully rise and become a beautiful butterfly.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    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.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    When released, this game rightfully found a seat among the Gods of the Gaming World. If you've never played it, it's time for a ride, despite some small technical issues.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A game that gives further meaning to the expression "Nintendo difference". Extremely varied gameplay, with clever puzzles and very colorful art direction. The only complaint is the troublesome camera.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The new expansion of the Blizzard MMORPG has a lot to offer: a great storyline, the new garrison and the boasted "back to the roots". If you're looking for a reason to return to Azeroth, well, you've found it.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    The first isometric adventure of Lara Croft was an enjoyable game, and this sequel delivers an equal amount of fun, provided that you have some friends to play it with. Otherwise, the game is really short, easy, and not something you'll remember for its technical merit.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Despite the obsolete graphics and some old-fashioned gameplay mechanics, Telltale's first step into the Game of Thrones saga is a winner. Great storytelling, excellent characters, and a great use of the official license. A must have for every GoT fan.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Based on the popular gamebook, it's a good porting of an iOS title, penned by Joe Dever himself. A deep and fascinating experience, with a great replay value.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A cozy atmosphere and an astonishing art direction lay the foundation for a really challenging graphic adventure. A little bit on the short side, but the puzzles are exacting and will keep your brain engaged.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The new decks bring even more chaos into the game, which is always a good thing. The expansion gives you the opportunity to experiment on brand new strategies, and to play like you never did before.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    One of the best puzzle adventures of the past few years, that can be enjoyed on different levels: excellent puzzles with a great use of physics, non-linear storytelling juggling between sci-fi and philosophy, and some touches of sheer genius.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    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.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A game tailored to the fans of the Persona series that finally makes its debut on the Nintendo console. A very robust dungeon crawler that will appease beginners as well as hardcore players.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A pricey game when originally released on consoles, on PC it's a real steal. The main quest is pretty short, but the replay value is very high, and the game itself is a remarkable showcase for the FOX Engine.

    The new Elite picks up where the original left and improves its gameplay in every possible way. A great space sim that manages to be deep and complex without becoming too intricate, with room for future improvements. Could be the right reason to plug an Oculus Rift in your PC.
    • 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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Not the best remastered edition of all time, but a fun and satisfying game nonetheless. The DLCs extend the longevity of an already huge (and highly insane) game. Despite the low price, it's not recommended if you already played it on PS3.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    One of the funniest and craziest DLCs ever. The new powers and weapons are exhilarating, and there's a lot to do, even after the end of the main storyline. If you enjoyed Saints Row IV, this is simply a must-have.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Welcome to survival horror. This new edition of an all-time classic has a lot of flaws, and some gameplay elements show their age, but its inherent value is fathomless.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    A good sequel that manages to correct some of the issues of the first Blackguards. Despite some technical issues, Blackguards 2 is a must-have for fans of turn-based strategy games.
