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.

This is the Gauntlet we would have wanted to play last year: a lot of new features that increase the replayability, including two new game modes. There are still some issues with the camera, but overall this is a pretty good dungeon crawler.

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.

This dino-themed installment of the LEGO series has an undeniable charm, but it's not the best LEGO game ever made. The gameplay is basically the same as the previous titles, with less fights and more puzzles. There are a few new elements, but nothing really noteworthy. Final warning: if you were expecting the original voices of the Italian movies (like in the English version), you're up for a huge disappointment. The Italian voiceover is plain awful.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Code Name S.T.E.A.M. is an unexpected strategy game that beefs up the European line-up for Nintendo 3DS, pretty accessible, with a solid gameplay and an usual artistic direction.

A lot of fun (and a lot of blood) is waiting for you, especially if this is your first approach to the series.

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.

Mad Max and the Wastelands would have deserved a bolder characterization. Nonetheless, this is a good open world title, beautiful to see and fun to play. The gameplay draws from different genres, and despite the fact that it doesn't offer anything truly original, the overall result is a solid and fun experience.

Climax Studios has done well: Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China is a fresh and enjoyable experience, both for fans and newcomers of the Creed.

Tembo The Badass Elephant is really truthful to its name, thanks to a furious and exciting gameplay, perfectly tailored for all the fans of the platform genre. There's nothing really original here, but nonetheless Tembo is incredibly fun. Kudos to Game Freak.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An enjoyable, solid and extremely accessible racing game.

Halo: Spartan Strike is nothing more than a filler in the main saga, but once you acknowledge that, you'll find a pretty good twin-stick shooter, with a good setting and solid gameplay. The multiplayer would have earned it a higher 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.

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.

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.
