A puzzle game with some very neat ideas, damaged by sketchy voice acting and a strange premise for the puzzles themselves. Relicta is mostly a good mental challenge.

The Ascent is a true homage to the classic top-down shooter genre that adds some modern features without disrespecting its main inspirations.

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.

In conclusion, we can say that Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is a successful title that deserves to be re-released on the market, not only to encourage new generations to rediscover the iconic character of Pac-Man, but also to entertain long-time fans with a product that demonstrates a certain level of quality. It may not be the best platform game you'll play in the coming years, but as a re-release of an old classic, it's a remarkable achievement. What's more, Pac-Man's return to the screen is always welcome. The competitive price will facilitate sales, and we are sure to see it offered for free with various subscriptions on the market in the coming years. Namco Bandai has created a product that guarantees hours of quality entertainment for gamers of all kinds.

A good remaster for one of the most appreciated 3D chapters of the franchise.

A good sequel which provides a better interface and lots of freedom for building your own cities. Too bad the game lacks in modes and optimization.

Sparc is the classic VR game with brilliant ideas and a physical activity required by the player above the average. However, the contents are few.

Paladins fills a fairly significant gap in the Switch’s library. Some minor issues aside, it's generally a great experience.

Warlords of the New York is a rich expansion pack for The Division 2, which relies on a magnificent environmental storytelling and great boss battle, but also on a over-used and over-spoiled game structure and a lackluster narration. The end game revolution works, but the collection of rinse and repeat mission is something to work on. Overall, anyway, it's a good expansion pack for die hard fan of the game.

Not a bad expansion but not even a very good one, Peril on Gorgon can be an enjoyable return to the Halcyon colony for those that can't wait to play some more of The Outer World. For everyone else, it may be better to just wait for a sale... or the next DLC.

Shadow Warrior is a retro-shooter with all the right stuff we expect from such a title. Hordes of enemies, demonic creatures, Duke Nukem humor, a lot of blood and mangled limbs. If you settle for this, the reboot by Flying Wild Hog works like a charm and compared to other similar operations, the graphics are far from poor or sketchy.

Droidscape: Basilica is indeed a quite unique puzzle game, with a deep background story. But it also has various flaws, specially the not always accurate control system.

A solid platformer with some fresh ideas that are able to innovate enough to justify the download.

Culdcept Revolt is undoubtedly an innovative game with remarkable ideas. It's a shame that the RNG factor has an excessive impact on the entire match.

Decent yet limited - not very "Recharged" - remake of the 1979 arcade classic.

A good idea that unfortunately can't stand on its legs on its own. Funny in short bursts, but also unfathomably tied to online play despite the presence of bots.

Atomfall marks a courageous change of direction for Rebellion, offering a fascinating British uchronia with satisfying exploration and effective ranged combat. However, technical shortcomings, deficient AI, and superficial storytelling prevent the title from fully expressing its potential, despite the commendable freedom granted to the player.

Armello is a beautifully crafted strategic videogame inspired by old school board games you can usually play with friends around a table in the same room. Grab a pad and test yourself and your friends online at the game of the Lion's throne or challenge the CPU to crown the new king of Armello.

While lacking a true single player component (at least for the moment) and with some bugs and glitches still to patch, the new war simulator by Bohemia Interactive will capture hardcore gamers with a massive, vast, complex and layered new episode.

Creatures of Ava offers a visually and conceptually ambitious alien adventure, shining for its non-violent approach and fascinating world. Despite some imperfections, the game manages to create a quite original experience for lovers of exploratory and ecologically conscious adventures.

One free game leads to another, Marvel heroes and villains are welcome if the goal is simply to have fun. Between questionable balance and general lack of originality, some will turn up their noses, but how fun is Marvel Rivals.

Despite the not-so-popular price and the game mechanics of their time, the Famicom Detective Club series is an interesting work and a video game restoration operation that could open the door to other similar episodes. Rebuilt from scratch, with beautiful two-dimensional graphics and enriched by the dubbing of all dialogues, the two games retain intact their charm and are proposed to new generations in a truly sumptuous. The genre of belonging, however, is to be taken into account, since the developers have done very little to modernize the playability of the work, which is - in the long run - slightly cumbersome. Although the interactivity is not comparable to the most modern investigative games, Famicom Detective Club has an undeniable vintage charm. Despite a few too many stereotypes, The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind are two stories that deserve to be experienced.

With an excellent combat system and a good work on the source material, Neverwinter could be one of the best MMORPGs out there. Too bad the end-game and the group mechanics tend to be so repetitive.

It lacks some features that where present in the old Master of Orion II, and many of the bold ideas Stellaris and Endless Legend introduced to the genre. A playable, fun game, with great production value, but not a game that will stand the test of time.

Automatron, the first DLC for Fallout 4, concentrates its focus on crafting robots to pleasure the players that spend hours looking for the perfect companion.

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

A good mix between life-sim and GdR, Harvestella seems to be a game addressed to the less experienced players, rather than the expert ones.

Feels like the start of a new season of GoT - in the bad sense, that is. Too many introductions, too little development. A bridge to something greater, but incapable of standing on its own.

The longevity is not the cup of tea of this game, but for at least a couple of hours Severed Steel manages to offer something new and exciting in today's FPS landscape.

Has the great advantage of being accessible to all types of gamers, providing mysterious and fascinating investigative cases. There is much variety in puzzles and riddles, although the difficulty is quite low for an expert adventurer.

If you liked the first chapter, you'll find in Volgarr the Viking II a bigger, longer, and more challenging sequel that will undoubtedly satisfy you despite some arguable aspects of the approach to the difficulty.

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.

A fascinating voyage in 1900 Sicily, marred by a very formulaic story that can be guessed almost from the very start. Some gameplay elements are quite bizarre too, such as giving the player the option to buy and customize equipment, and then giving default guns in more or less half the fights. A shame.

An interesting turn-based MOBA which, at the moment is lacking in terms of the amount of heroes and arenas.

Another step forward for NBA Live, which although still far from the historical rival NBA 2K, manages to reach good levels with this new episode.

Killzone: Shadow Fall is an uninventive but still largely enjoyable shooter, with rich visuals and a solid multiplayer experience. Poor dialogue and narrative keep the game far from the best out there.

You'll laugh (and fell a little guilty) pushing tons of tin soldiers to their death, but you know it's a duty, necessary to achieve the victory. Life Goes On is based on a cynical premise, but it's really funny and addictive. Sadly, it won't last too long.

Rainbow Six Extraction is a good PvE shooter that works very well when played with friends and offers great gunplay. It is also true that the overall balance is not optimal and the difficulty rate is sometimes too high, but if you are a fan of Rainbow Six: Siege then you will be able to gloss over these negatives.

Battlefield Hardline tries bravely to shake things up, but the results aren't exactly top notch.

Chorus is a space-combat shooter with a good personality, where intense intergalactic dogfights represent the most successful part of the game that is supported by an appreciable artistic direction. It's not perfect but it offers valid reasons to be played, especially by those who love space-themed shooters.

After a year in early access, Arcadegeddon has evolved and expanded to become a good multiplayer shooter but failing to make a qualitative leap.

LEGO 2K Drive is a racing game suitable for younger players and fans of the famous Danish bricks. Still, it is not highly recommended for those seeking a more severe and refined driving experience. However, Visual Concepts has created a motorized adventure full of activities and mini-games, supported by many contents that aesthetically follow the cheerful philosophy of the colorful LEGO universe. Although it is a fun racing game, especially if played with other players, the poor management of the game economy and other more or less essential defects end up limiting its potential.

Wet Dreams Dry Twice is a decent 2D point'n'click adventure, one that seems to be tailor made for old school fans. Unfortunately the juvenile humour and slogging pace don't do the game any favours in order to be appreciated by the general public.

Dune: Spice Wars pays homage to the source material but lacks a story mode that with almost 3000 pages at one's disposal is hard to justify. Fortunately the gameplay depth and flexibility make up for it almost completely.

Mirror Moon EP is more about art than about gameplay and it's meant for people who can appreciate the pleasure of exploration, discovery and bizarre graphic style. While interesting and surprising, the game shows many highs and lows, and could become easily boring if you're don't bite into its strange nature.

A cute little avatar-based racing game that provides easy and appealing gameplay. The multiplayer modes are definitely the best aspect of the game, and will provide many more hours of fun than the single player alone. Although the game lacks some polish, Motocross Madness is a fast-paced motocross title that offers a great challenge for casual gamers and replay value for the price.

Revolution 60 is a brave and ambitious cinematic adventure. It's probably not the best good looking game on App Store, but it is definitely worthy of your attention.

The usual funny, colorful and loud Just Dance, with a way more improved playlist and a new mode. If you like to dance and party, it's the right choice.

Sleep Awake is a visionary psychological horror, strong in atmosphere and aesthetics but less impactful in gameplay. A short, flawed yet memorable experience for fans of auteur-driven walking simulators.

Surprising and versatile, Project Spark is a very nice videogame editor, with some issues due to its young age and a potentially bright future ahead.

An action-tower defense that makes "Bigger is Better" its mantra. Same formula, still fully functional, but even more orcs on the screen to beat in the most imaginative ways possible.

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.

A fine DLC that adds some more hours of solid Wasteland 3 content, with the usual mixture of tactical combat, open-ended gameplay and more than a few choices that can alter the story. It's not flawless, nor is it the most ambitious expansion ever made, but if you're looking for an excuse to come back to the frozen wastelands of Colorado, The Battle of Steeltown can provide another 7-8 hours of good content.

Call of Duty: Vanguard is certainly a good return to World War II by Sledgehammer, especially in terms of multiplayer modes: many maps, customizable weapons with numerous options and a progression system to applause. On the other hand, the single player campaign is just enough, far from being considered epic, while the Zombies mode needs to be expanded as soon as possible.

Outriders is a looter shooter that offers many hours of fun to players, despite some structural problems such as the absence of heterogeneity in the missions. The strong point, however, is fast-paced and explosive gameplay that is well-supported by interesting RPG mechanics.

The whole Crysis saga can now be played with enhanced visuals, especially on next-gen consoles: while the gameplay is somewhat frozen in time and show the limits of games developed in another era, there’s much to enjoy and the games are still fun to play.

A good hunting game, deserving of being put up there with Monster Hunter. Too Bad it seems to shy away from the seriousness of its own dark setting by putting on the front unrealistic and unlikable characters.

Eternal Threads is not the most original or ambitious game, but it still manages to craft an interesting story about time travels and six ordinary characters struggling with their lives.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a flawed but fascinating game. It is unresolved but full of atmosphere. Although lacking in many aspects, it is rich in survival elements that will delight the most hardcore fans. In short, it is a unique game—for better or worse.

Outlast: Whistleblower is a good DLC with at least two big advantages; it's not boring as Outlast, which in the long run could become repetitive, and is much more driven side gore-violence, with some really disturbing and excessive scenes.

Twelve more games, and a frankly better selection than the first one, for all the people who want to explore the remote past of videogames.

Amnesia: The Bunker is a more guided experience than it claims, where ingenuity and improvisation are replaced by tedious resource management.

Evolution more than revolution, even if it is not always in the right direction for a Naruto fighting game.

A remaster that, between one misstep and one shortcoming, reminds everyone, without exception, how important, epic, and devastating the impact of the first Gears of War was.

A very good Mad Max game, with some excellent bits but also some issues. The setting is great, car combat is incredibly fun - there's a good sense of freedom and the main missions are pretty good, but the story is quite flat (even though the ending is great), the fighting system is nothing more than decent and the optional stuff becomes pretty repetitive.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure aspires to great heights but ultimately struggles to reach them. There are some exciting ideas behind Deck Nine's last work. Still, the execution is undermined by plot inconsistencies, gameplay that only marginally considers the player's actions, and an ending that seems to steer the series in a direction that ultimately betrays its own foundations. The game has moments of brilliance, mainly due to the charisma of its lovable protagonist, a strong art direction, and a few interesting characters, but at no point does it feel like Max Caulfield's new adventure enhances the overall experience.

When it focuses on the classic platform elements, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse shines brightly. It's a pity it often tries to change itself into something less exciting.

An interesting mix of different mechanics that quickly becomes somehow boring in its micro-management antics.

An intelligent, fun and very deep sci-fi take on the tower defense genre.

If you like the puzzle genre, the double package of Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition are worth buying.

A first-person shooter with great potential, but which unable to fully express itself.

Dark Side is at the same time a game for irredeemable fans of King's Bounty and a good point of entry for new players. But if you're a hardcore strategy fan, you should avoid it.

An interesting, but very demanding, musical game. If you do not fear frustration.

South of Circle is a well written intense short adventure about life, love, choices an politics. The narration is brilliant and convey a very emotional trip through different timelines, even if the interaction is limited to dialogs and a very few other moments.

Despite its ingenious puzzles, some good ideas and fun boss battles, World to the West fails in many aspects, such as story, exploration, and atmosphere. As if it wasn't enough, there are also some bugs, translation errors and unclear suggestions, which certainly do not help. However, it's still a title that fans of puzzle games and Teslagrad will probably enjoy.

A delicate and well designed infinite jumper, graced by beautiful visuals and precise controls.

Two great games from the last generation, very improved in the graphics department but sadly still have the same frame rate.

Fantasy Life is charming little action RPG. In many ways it looks like a Monster Hunter with a less steep learning curve and a wider range of activities to perform, but in the end it stands on its own thanks to the nice class system. Too bad that few cumbersome choices in the game design, the relatively poor technical compartment and the annoying story keep the game from reaching better highs.

A great horror that packs most of the experience into its clever puzzles.

We sure don't have the new Monster Hunter, but Freedom Wars is a good game to keep an eye on. If the premises and the narrative structure of the game had to be maintained at early hours levels, we'd be talking about a true masterpiece. Good game, anyway.

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.

A Puzzle Bubble clone with some social feature and a frustrating free to pay wall.

Scribblenauts Unlimited is not the game Wii U needed right now, nor that kind of production that can highlight the uniqueness of the new Nintendo hardware... nonetheless, it’s a funny language laboratory and a clever gaming workshop. The Gamepad allows for some sharing between who’s playing and the ones sitting along on the sofa, making 5th Cell effort a good choice for some evening sessions between friends and relatives.

Floodland is an intriguing city-builder that manages to be intuitive and also quite complex in its game systems, but sadly it's also filled with many technical hiccups that can slow down (and potentially halt) your progress. The foundation is solid and there is a good game beneath it all, but the game will probably need a couple of patches to really shine.

Disney Illusion Island is a good introduction to the metroidvania genre for the uninitatied. It's a pity the iconic Disney heroes are so tiny on the screen.

Just Cause 3 is quite a good game, but it would have been better with more attention to detail.

Kirby Star Allies is a colorful, little adventure... that keeps doing what a number of other Kirby's colorful adventures have already done before.

The Crew: Wild Run solves a lot of the problems of the original game and adds new modes, cars, contents, a better graphic and fun. Although it's still not perfect.

Oxenfree II does everything you would expect from a sequel and even manages to squeeze in a couple of surprises, but don't expect anything revolutionary from it.

The Escapists 2 is a management-strategic game that improves some aspects of the predecessor and adds a successful multiplayer component.

Project X Zone 2 doesn't hide his "more of the same" nature, offering a well-proven gameplay. Nevertheless, the very low difficulty level and the plot bland, make the game exclusively suited to the great roster lovers.

A very good PlayStation port for a fun and stylish game.

A new beginning for the saga, which despite its imperfection, is enjoyable until the end.

Tri Force Heroes is a clever and extremely funny multiplayer game for a local bunch of heroes wannabe. It's a shame that its online mode lacks the voice chat. Also: the single player campaign can be really boring at times.

If you didn't play the original 2009 release on PlayStation Network, now you have the chance to redeem yourself. Even if it lasts almost five hours, PixelJunk Shooter is a fun and deep shoot'em up, with a clever twin stick control scheme. Sail aboard the Pinita Colada: you won't regret it.

It's not a great game, but it's got personality, uniqueness and sense of wonder. The remastering is decent.

MXGP 2021 is the game you expect it is. A fun, solid and compelling simcade about Motocross World Championship, which just does everything better than the last year edition, without making any meaningful qualitative leap, but with a lot of little tweaks.

After developing the excellent Humankind, Amplitude Studios has shown what it is capable of with a challenging and fun twin-stick shooter. The ideal sequel Dungeon of the Endless is not perfect, however, due to some flaws related to the narrative and technical aspects, nevertheless it manages to entertain for hours with its endless loop of alien creatures to face and the exploration of procedurally generated scenarios.
