Stormland lacks a little in variety, but virtual reality is exploited to the full and the persistent nature of the game is intriguing to say the least. After Asgard's Wrath, another great VR game.

Football Manager 2020 brings together all the little changes made in the last two years taking everything to a brand new level of depth and accuracy. The management part of the game is quite perfect, crystal clear and the new club vision system works really great. On the pitch the situation is still changing and if the idea of the extreme fluidity of modules and tactics is excellent, Sports Interactive needs to balance the situation with a couple of patches. The potential is huge, but to see it fulfilled for real we need to wait the winter transfer window.

A great classic returns to PC and it's still a great RTS experience. The Definitive Edition enrich the formula with a few quality of life improvements while maintaining its core gameplay overall intact, but at the same time there are some flaws, especially on the technical side. Still, the nostalgia operation works and Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is the best way to enjoy the classic Microsoft RTS today.

Need for Speed Heat wakes up the series from the nightmare and it's just like a greatest hits of the most iconic episodes of the franchise. Ghost Games did a great job in terms of gameplay and concepts, but Palm City is bloated of filler events and the progression isn't smooth enough. Anyway, the night races are great and the free tuning is back. If you are driven by Underground and Most Wanted nostalgia, Heat is definitely your game.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is pretty basic but funny, especially with the right people to play with: if you enjoyed previous games in the series, you won’t be dissatisfied with this one.

Death Stranding is a one of a kind experience that will stick with you for years to come.

A good expansions that shines in its most difficult activities, but that does not offer enough content to keep the community engaged for a very long time. The new path taken by Bungie is very promising, though.

Afterparty is a stylish and compelling narrative adventure featuring superb writing, top-notch voice acting and a great take on the classic hellscape, with a couple of twist and a lot of booze-action. Sometimes it's guilty of self-indulgence, but, that's probably why it's set in Hell.

Not everyone will appreciate the new approach to PvP and the return of the Spec-Ops is a little disappointing, but otherwise Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is still a great shooter.

Funnier than ever, Luigi's Mansion 3 is a perfect comeback for the series and a worthy addition to anyone's Switch library.

A retro adventure that brings us back to the '90s. A good recreation of the past, but only a decent game.

Little Town Hero is a curious hybrid between a JRPG and a Heartstone-style card game. It’s not for everyone, but its combat system is really noteworthy.

Manifold Garden its a game about changing: from the changing-gravity mechanic to the high variety of gameplay, the game design defines an interesting first person puzzle game with a lot of exploration in Escher-style. A good game that sometimes just suffers a bit of emptiness due to the lack of narrative aims, but a must-have for all puzzle lovers.

A remake of the original MediEvil with something more. Perfect for the fans, good enough for the newcomers.

A great return to the mainstream scene from Obsidian, with the proper New Vegas spiritual heir that we've all been waiting.

The best hero shooter ever made launches on Switch with a fair porting that allows you to play with your favorite character anywhere. On the other hand, Overwatch on Switch had to make some compromises in order to keep the same game experience that we all love.

Carly and the Reaperman: Escape From the Underworld demonstrates without a shadow of a doubt that cooperative VR can create compelling and intriguing experiences.

Despite its compromises, The Witcher 3 is still a breathtaking adventure and the best RPG for Nintendo Switch till now.

Felix starts dancing and, suddenly, you want to stand up and dance too. Felix the Reaper has style, and some challenging puzzles, but unfortunately the two sides never collide. Nevertheless, a solid performance by our dancing reaper (and his developers too).

Although there are some edges to be smoothed, Asgard's Wrath is among the longest and most satisfying VR experiences you can live today with Oculus Rift.

A simple and stylish videogame that allows player to spend a pair of joyful hours in the body of a goose.

Quotation forthcoming.

Finally, one of the best metroidvania of this generation arrives on Switch thanks to its Definitive Edition. If you never experienced the story of Ori and the Blind Forest, this is your chance to guide the hero through a beautiful and meaningful journey.

What the golf? is probably the funniest game of 2019. The concept of transforming everything in golf is amazing and the game mechanics are simple, fresh and entertaining. Fun, lighthearted and addictive, it's perfect for quick runs, coffee break and nights of relaxed gameplay.

MTG Arena is the best possible transposition of the historic card game. It's free (initially, at least) and it's wonderful, there's no reason to not try it. With its unique style, complicated and rewarding, it will charm any TCG lover.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is perhaps the best episode of the series thanks to a mature and tested gameplay, delightful graphics and a longevity exceeding expectations.

Fun and entertaining, John Wick Hex hits the target and successfully transforms the hectic action of the movie saga in a brilliant boardgame-like strategic game with a great level design and an intriguing twist. The time management mechanic is crucial, intense and demanding, but quite fair and when dominated give a lot of satisfaction. Sometimes the difficulty curve is not well balanced and, overall, it lacks of the last touch to shine, but it's a solid good game, made with style and care.

An exciting return to form for the GRID franchise. This is a well thought and executed arcade racing game, with lots of events and races.

Concrete Genie is a little and charming experience, that makes you feel again the joy of staring, like a child, at a blank page, armed with few brushes and colours, with absolutely no worries in mind.

Indivisible combines lots of mechanics in a brilliant way and also offers a fine hand-drawn style which breath life into the whole experience.

Call of Duty: Mobile follows the essence of the original series, bringing the famous shooter to mobile devices.

A fascinating historic backdrop, an original artistic direction, a compelling gameplay structure, but only one, inexorable difficulty level which often seems more unfair than faithful.

The new chapter of the Ghost Recon series is a good shooter that combines solid gameplay with a poorly integrate RPG structure.

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a competent platform game, full of ideas and funny characters.

Overland is a good roguelike turn-based strategy, despite some defects and deficiencies it can satisfy those looking for a challenging and potentially endless game.

Mario Kart Tour is a well done experiment, fun to play and suitable game for players of all ages. The game itself is too expensive compared to the full console game, limited due to the absence of a multiplayer mode. Potentially, you will risk spending more to unlock all the Mario Kart Tour characters than you would spend buying a Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8, which should make both players and Nintendo think that the path taken is not the right one.

Rise of the ghosts is a more of the same of Rage 2 with all the related strengths and weaknesses of Avalanche Studios. But with such a gunplay, it is difficult not to have fun.

Code Vein is an anime soulslike with a huge focus on character build and an endearing story that could relate to the God Eater series.

The Surge 2 is a good sequel that adds new content and further improves the gameplay, but fails to correct the defects of the first episode of the series.

The return of this beloved series is marred by repetitive gameplay, imprecise controls and weak graphics.

A solid new episode for Borderlands, with a lot of things to do, but ten years after the original some mechanics are a bit obsolete.

FIFA 20 looks like another step up for the FIFA franchise, even if probably not so wide and brave as we could expect. Anyway, gameplaywise the new physics, the slower pace and a solid 1 on 1 defense open a whole new world in terms of approach and styles of play. The very new game mode Volta brings the street soccer back to videogames and it's simply a love letter to the spirit of football lived as fun.

Link's Awakening still is one of the most interesting Zelda games, even with all its limitations and simplifications.

Daymare: 1998 could have been a good survival horror but the flaws surpass the merits. Nonetheless, the team has put some nice efforts into it.

PES keeps getting better: a great experience on the pitch, with improved AI and gorgeous animations.

NBA 2K20 is pure magic on the playground. The new physical model, the impact of the new defensive system and the fine tuning of the gameplay is something valuable which give to basketball lovers endless possibilities. On the other side, the new GM mode is very disappointing and 2K business model for MyTeam is still questionable. The good news is that microtransations are quite useless in MyCareer mode, which thanks to King James work shines again to its original beauty.

Despite its flaws and a far from perfect technical experience, Greedfall is an intriguing action RPG set in a charming and unique setting.

Daemon X Machina is fun, fast, with surgical controls, an extraordinary sense of growth and a huge customization of every aspect of the game. Not to mention the galvanizing and powerful sound; however, on the scale we also have sufficient graphics, albeit stylistically refined, and a style of play that requires so much dedication to be fully appreciated.

Gears 5 is still the same game it has always been, but in Katie it finds a fresh, new character with a more intriguing story.

Blasphemous is slowed by a few minor issues but overall has a gripping setting and haunting design presentation.

Children of Morta is a fun but derivative, stylish and elegant story driven roguelite. Although the setting is quite usual, the story of the Bergsons family is heartwarming and moving, and that makes this game quite unique.

Wreckfest is the spiritual successor of FlatOut and Destruction Derby and offers a fun, hectic, solid experience. Now on consoles, too.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is more than an expansion: it’s a generous gift to its fans (both the seasoned and the fresh ones), one that can last for hundreds of hours of the purest monster-hunting fun.

Hunt Showdown is a good alternative for fans of competitive and hardcore online fps. It's engaging, intense and immersive to the point of nervous exhaustion. Its eccentric personality doesn't make it a game suitable for everyone, but for the same reason those who appreciate it will do it viscerally.

Blair Witch manages to offer a gameplay that has reached its limits by propping it up with an intriguing storyline, a good dose of atmosphere and a couple of interesting mechanics. However, it tends to overdo in the end and, above all, he needs a little more technical cleaning.

Catherine: Full Body is a glorification of the original game, unmissable.

Men of Medan promises a story about ghosts but the only ghost on the ship is the system of choiches and consequences, flat and shallow, "un-supported" by an unstable framerate and by command system that feels old and intricate. What saves this debut from failure is the atmosphere and the possibilities about future episodes.

Maybe Control is not a masterpiece, but it's still one of the best games made by Remedy Entertainment and a fascinating sci-fi third person action adventure.

MXGP 2019 offers a good experience for those who love this sport. One of the best motocross games in recent years.

A nice classic action-jrpg, but nothing more. Oninaki provides some hours of fun but offers very little game experience.

If you've always dreamed of a sort of post-apocalyptic soulslike with guns and rifles, procedural levels and third-person shooter mechanics, you've found it.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is one of the most interesting survival games I've played in the last few years. With very interesting mechanics and a gameplay capable of evolving together with the brains of the apes, Ancestors lets us experience the struggles of the human evolution. Unfortunately cumbersome controls and a difficulty that easily leads to frustration which partially ruins the experience.

Astral Chain is something special that only Platinum Games could develop: a game both satisfying and tough.

An intriguing multi-choice adventure, Erica does almost nothing new but offers an interesting story and great replayability.

RAD conquered us with its mix of hack n slash, rogue-like and charming post-apocalyptic world... and fans of the 80s will appreciate it even more.

Metal Wolf Chaos XD is the game every From Software fan should play.

Age of Wonders: Planetfall brings a new setting, and lots of improvements, to a classical 4X series. The increased complexity can be occasionally overwhelming, but the strategical experience remains top notch.

It’s a gift for the fans of the anime – definitively not suited for those who aren’t – with a well crafted combat system: simple but deep mechanics that can reward players who can read correctly their opponent, even if their execution level is not top class.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the perfect step forward for an almost-three-decade-old tactical RPG franchise. Incredibly huge and still incredibly fun.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a brutal experience in a gorgeous even if small-sized Paris. Its gameplay brings something of contemporary open-world service as a game competitors in the Wolfenstein world, with interesting but debatable results.

Pawarumi is a smart and intoxicating shoot'em up that will surely delight old school gamers.

Night Call is an interesting thriller adventure. With good atmosphere and promising mechanics, its "noir" side shows the madness and the difficulties of the nights in Paris. Sadly there are some problems with the general pacing and all the management side is poor.

Defector, although not without its flaws, is an action-shooter that takes advantage of VR very well and inserts narrative cues that should not be underestimated.

Field of Glory: Empire is a complex, deep grand strategy game in the vein of previous AGEOD titles. While great for long-time fans of the genre, its lack of adequate tutorial and its lousy interface could very well scare away new players.

A bigger, more complex and better sequel, Dragon Quest Builders 2 is the perfect match for sandbox and action/GdR fans.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr feels good but also a step back from the previous expansions.

Sea of Solitude is a personal journey inside the darkest paths of our existence. It can be a painful experience, but in the end we can find a heartwarming message: empathy will save us all.

Samurai Shodown makes a fine comeback after a decade: refreshing and still exciting to play, it's the long-awaited title we hoped for.

Well-crafted, feature rich and with all the class Nintendo can wield. An excellent editor that will keep creators and players busy for years.

Put in a blender Matrix, Max Payne, kung fu movies, Shoot'em up, rag doll animations... and a lot of bananas. Then, freeze in a run & gun stencil. Serve chilled. It's not the perfect mix, but it tastes so good.

A good example of how to craft a Mythos game. Not for the faint of heart. Cool fact: a gamer who knows nothing about the mythos will probably make all the wrong choices in the game.

An almost perfect game with just some minor flaws that don't ruin the overall experience.

It is indeed a great history lesson on the golden age of the arcades, but a short one, with low replayability.

F1 2019 adds the FIA Formula 2 race cars and some minor improvements to the celebrated formula of its official racer, plus the epic rivalry between Senna and Prost in the Legends Edition of the game. An episode which is more about new content than structural changes. And that is okay.

The classic CTR returns faster, bigger and even better.

Despite some flaws, Judgment holds up even when compared to the best entries in the Yakuza series, on both the narrative and gameplay sides.

Cadence of Hyrule is a fresh take on the the Legend of Zelda series: visuals are great as the Baranowsky's soundtrack and it feels like a proper Zelda game, but indie. It's a win-win situation.

Trover Saves the Universe is perhaps the most fun, foul-mouthed and irreverent game you can enjoy in VR, but the gameplay is not always as good as writing.

Assetto Corsa Competizione offers the best sim racing experience on the market in terms of feeling, immersion and handling. There's still room to polish and improve some features and add more content, but Kunos Simulazioni just had a burning start and goes straight to the first corner leading the group.

As things stand today, Dauntless is still a promising game, crippled by some technical issues (there’s still an OB in the software version, after all), but enhanced by a great cross-play feature.

A great motorcycle racing game, the best one since a while. Not (yet?) strictly simulative, especially with regard to motorbike collisions and contacts, it features definitely satisfying physics and - surprise! - a new cutting-edge neural A.I. as well.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth is a solid sequel which doesn't change its formula and still works out at the very best.

Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted scares in an ingenious and original way and ensures several hours of chills and jumping out of your chair. What more do you want from a VR horror game?

Layers of Fear 2 is like a big, strange and greedy DLC of the first chapter. Despite the extreme "more of the same" feeling, in some ways here the expressionist atmosphere is even more disturbing than the painter adventure. On the other hand, however, the story is too fragmented, answers are not sufficiently clear and the game needs more than opening doors and trivial environmental puzzles.

Outer Wilds is a brilliant Sundance Sci-Fi experience, with a perfect balance of space exploration, mystery solving and storytelling. The solar system designed by Mobius Digital is an outstanding playground, full of odd surprises and unique events. Above all, it's a place worth exploring and it’s perfectly integrated into the time loop structure of the game. If you love to feel a genuine sense of discovery and adventure, it’s definitely your game.

An overall enjoyable tromp into the fantasy half of the Warhammer universe. Many similarities with Diablo 3 allow Chaosbane to differentiate itself from its other rivals.

Blood & Truth is a first-person shooter that takes perfect advantage of virtual reality and squeezes every PlayStation VR chip as much as we could ask for.

Everybody’s Golf VR has the great limitation of providing little in terms of contents and game modes, but what it offers is great for any golf fan.
