    A fun racing game filled with lots of different game modes. Too bad the graphics engine feels outdated.

    Fast RMX is... well, fast! With more tracks and ships and local multiplayer with up to 4 players at 60fps is a good choice for your brand new Nintendo Switch.

    LEGO Worlds is a good sandbox game, but it lacks a bit in what makes other LEGO games funny.

    A stealth game in the true sense of the word you should keep an eye on, even if the enemies AI is still not that great.

    Ghost Recon Wildlands is an open world shooter that brings together a beautifully crafted huge map and a campaign that gives the player total freedom. The depth of the adventure is a bit flawed by the repetitiveness of the mission and a broken driving system.

    Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey is a good, classic JRPG with a simple but entertaining plot and an excellent art direction. Unfortunately, the graphics are quite outdated, but its still a great game and a nice turning point for the series, which both fans and newcomers will certainly enjoy.

    The cool combat mechanics, its common ground with the likes of Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI, and the intriguing story of I am Setsuna will please fans of old school JRPGs, but it’s far from perfect: it’s quite linear and monotonous.

    2Dark relegates the flatless only on the artistic side, hiding behind its style a deep and satisfying game. Unfortunately in that depth there are some bugs capable of breaking up the game.

    Good 'ol Bomberman is still crazy after all these years, but there's nothing really new, it lacks some options, the story mode is nothing exciting and the game is a bit too pricey.

    1-2 Switch fails in its primary goal: show how fun can be a Switch party game. There's literally no reason to buy a game that you shouldn't download even if it was free.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    A fun and clever multiplayer experience that would have been perfect if it were bundled with the console itself. It might lack that special spark of genius that could have turned Snipperclips into a cult classic, but it's still a fascinating and appealing way to show off your brand new Switch to anyone (gamer or not).

    Nier: Automata is one of the most original, surprising and brilliant games of this generation. Not perfect, but unmissable.

    Night in the Woods is a charming game. I was fascinated by its general atmosphere, graphics and music, which I found amazing. It’s a good adventure overall, with very well written dialogue, but its bare mechanics made it relatively boring for me. The player doesn’t really have to do that much, remaining extremely passive. It’s interesting how the designers were able to deal with difficult themes such as depression, anxiety and child abuse in a very congenial way, without sounding too inane or obnoxious, but they did put a lot of accent on these aspects making the real plot marginal.

    It's Torment. It's back. If you have the courage and strength to face the mental pressure, as I do, the result is a memorable experience.

    Malicious Fallen is an aesthetically pleasing action game, flawed by many problems that would have been quite easy to address. Just like its previous chapters it's a title with good potential, unfortunately not exploited, which will be certainly appreciated by fans of the series.

    Don’t expect great new features compared to Halo Wars or some kind of strategic depth, but the Blitz mode and online multiplayer will entertain you in the long run.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn is a successful "first time" for Guerrilla in the open world genre. The game isn't perfect, but it's gorgeous to see and explore (best open world graphics ever) and offers engaging fights against fascinating machines.

    Rebellion brings Sniper Elite 4 to the italian shores with the well-known formula and some marginal improvements. The result is a well-crafted experience and the extra composed by the possibility to play co-op and versus with other players.

    How To Survive 2 is an enjoyable experience in its mix of genres and aspirations, but if you're not used to co-op experiences do not expect great emotions.

    Sure, it's not the Fire Emblem that we are used to playing on DS and 3DS, but you don’t have to underestimate this mobile version. You'd miss a very nice turn based strategy game.

    Resident Evil VII is a panic-inducing game and one hell of a survival horror. It successfully goes back to the roots of the series and while it could last longer, is a thrill-ride you don't want to miss.

    Gravity Rush 2 is bigger and richer than the first chapter and sports the same joyful art direction. Unfortunately it's also as boring and sometimes frustrating as its predecessor.

    Galaxy on Fire 3 - Manticore is a valid space shooter for iOS, but it cuts all ties with the past and far more strategic management of the series.

    Dead Rising 4 is the worthy heir of its predecessor. The return of Frank West does not change the gameplay introduced three years ago maintaining all the non-sense on which the saga has built its fame. The price, however, is a lowering of the difficulty far beyond an acceptable sense of challenge.

    This isn't probably the Final Fantasy you were expecting, nevertheless it's one worth your time. it is far from being a perfect game, mainly because of a terrible second half, but it succeeds where other Final Fantasy have failed: bringing the saga into the modern era.

    18 worlds full of beautiful levels, pure Nintendo quality, with interesting achievements, are the main selling point of the game. The editor is nice, but it's crippled by the limited sharing options.

    1080p and 60fps (or even 4K and 60fps on PS4 Pro) and the very good price of 19,99 euros give the game a new chance to be enjoyed.

    Unfortunately Robinson: The Journey is not the next big thing on the VR scene: despite the premise and the efforts, Crytek was not able to create a convincing blend of a traditional adventure game with a full blown VR experience. In the end, this prehistoric space safari will probably somehow entertain you, without however being as mindblowing and groundbreaking as you might expect. Give it a chance if you dig the idea, but without too many expectations and absolutely not at full price.

    Pokémon Sun and Moon clearly want to change some aspects of a long-standing series. The new features actually bring some of the mechanics up-to-date and, at last, there's a good level of challenge. A deeper plot makes the whole adventure even more enjoyable, too. Unfortunately, there are also some flaws: Alola is definitely too linear and the Pokédex has very few new entries. Overall, the graphics are good, but the frame rate drops dramatically kinda often.

    Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is overall fun, but too similar to its prequel. The story is practically the same and even the mechanics weren't improved that much. Plus, the graphics are very poor for a game only available on the latest consoles.

    World of Final Fantasy is a great example of how an homage should be done: a solid infrastructure and a lot of passionate work. It's not a perfect game and it lacks in building enough around its core, but it's a really good Final Fantasy game, and it should be enough for all fans.

    With Imaginators, young players can have fun creating a wide roster of characters, but playing with a bunch of crystals is not the same thing of having actual characters in the real world, so some magic is lost in the process. The game is the usual action-platform-adventure and can delivery an enjoyable experience for the sixth year in a row, but the formula seems now in need of some rethinking.

    Thumper is far more than a simple, stunning rhythm game: it's an astonishing vertigo at crazy speed that messes up with your brain in a kaleidoscope of psychedelic colors and industrial tunes, an unforgettable trip into a sinister and mesmerizing dimension that thanks to PlayStation VR becomes real.

    The truth is pretty simple: PlayStation VR Worlds should have been included for free along with every PlayStation VR unit sold in order to introduce people to the wonders of Virtual Reality. Under those conditions, this decent example of simple and disposable fun would have made a lot more sense (after all, as they say, "you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth"). At 39.99€ it becomes harder to recommend this hit & miss compilation.

    Gears of War is back with a very solid entry in the beloved franchise: the lack of courage and the apparent fear of taking risks prevents Gears of War 4 from entering the absolute elites of the genre, yet with its compelling campaign and the usual, stellar multiplayer, this remains one hell of a ride.

    With Mario Party: Star Rush the classic and static mechanics of the series finally changes (for the better!). Overall, it's a decent party game, and it's fun to play by yourself, too.
