    If NBA 2K16 was already a highest level game, NBA 2K17 is even better, even if it requires patience and dedication to be really appreciated.

    The adrenalinic shoot'em up inspired by the eighties' classic masterpiece Uridium has finally come to 3DS. And the 3D effect rocks.

    FIFA 17 introduces in football games a thrilling, if limited, journey. All in all is the "same" enjoyable and rich game, now visually more polished than ever.

    PES 2017 keeps doing what PES has been doing really well in the latest years: it's a joy to play and to watch, but it needs some new features.

    While Pac-Man CE 2 can't live up to all the expectations of those who deeply loved the first game, it's still pure old/new-school gaming bliss.

    BioShock: The Collection is a good remaster, with graphics visibly improved. It includes all single-player content from the three games and that makes this collection perfect for those who have never played a BioShock in their life, but the lack of fresh new content makes it less suitable for longstanding fans.

    Furious and reckless action, tricky jumps and a crazy amount of bullets: if you're an hardcore enthusiast who loved the 16-Bit era and if you're in for a real challenge, do yourself a favor and give a chance to Rive... You won't regret it.

    Season After Fall is more convincing for its beautiful aesthetics than for its gameplay, but this discrepancy does not make it a title to be underestimated.

    Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past is a classic JRPG with a lot of enjoyable content, but characterized by a slow pace.

    There's a good game in ReCore. It's just buried under a bunch of imperfections and horrible loading times.

    • 68 Critic Score
    Considering the premise and the presentation, I sincerely expected more from Thora's Odyssey: the atmosphere might be there, the overall style might be fascinating and some ideas might be interesting, but that is not enough to truly impress the gods when the core gameplay is a bit lacking and never fully satisfying.

    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.

    Mother Russia Bleeds is full of drugs and flaws. Its art direction is over the top, but there are frustrating sections that ultimately break the flow.

    RedOut is fast and is furious. Its tight controls and spectacular tracks make it one of the best futuristic racing game out there.

    Champions of Anteria is a good example of how to combine management phases and action-RPG sections without altering either of the two.

    Metroid Prime: Federation Force is a clever game, full of personality and with a great control scheme. But playing online without the voice chat is a real bore.

    Nuka world, as last expansion for the Bethesda's post-apocalyptic world, adds a huge world that will satiate those are still looking for some radioactive soil.

    More accessible than ever for new players, thanks to new options such as Play the Moments and Big Decisions. Now it is time to revamp the graphic engine, though.

    • 75 Critic Score
    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.

    A.O.E. Wings of Freedom is a game exclusively made for fans. However, the gameplay is too weak to lift the fortunes of the product. Good enough for fans: the others would not have reason to postpone the production limits.

    Faithful to the Worms tradition, the new Team 17 title, with its bizarre new weapons and vehicles, manages to be a fun experience even if the crafting mechanics aren't the most user friendly out there.

    While offering only discrete graphics and gameplay still to be refined, The King of Fighters XIV is an excellent starting point for the rebirth of the brand. Content-rich, affordable and fun, the last SNK title is still far from its former glory, but the basis laid are so solid to ensure more than a hope for the future of the series.

    F1 2016 is a clear revenge on F1 2015, a good Formula One game, with a great Career mode and a solid driving system.

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided doesn’t betray its heritage: it improves on several aspects of the previous chapter in the saga and provides a high quality experience along the whole adventure. However, some of the characters in the game are not as deep as in the previous game, and the underlying menace could be pushed a little more. Overall, one of the best games published in 2016.

    A mesmerizing audiovisual triumph that will feel heavenly to your eyes and to your ears, unfortunately without warming your heart as much as you would expect. It probably won't leave you teary-eyed like Journey did, but it will still be a trip absolutely worth embarking on.

    Last Days of Old Earth is a 4X-meets-CCG with a personality of its own. While fairly light on content, it features good gameplay and a solid AI.

    From the school of Frozen Synapse, a plan-and-go turn based tactical game which is going to shine in multiplayer.

    It lacks a two player mode and the graphics look dated, yet fans of old-school shoot'em ups will feel very good playing Raiden V, especially if they are high-score hunters.

    Fallout's new editing system gains a very powerful icon with the Vaul-Tec Workshop DLC, but for the ones who love walking on the irradiated ground what happens beneath them may be not so interesting.

    • 60 Critic Score
    A game that tries too hard to be what it's not. A roguelike game trying to be a soulslike. Losing its identity, the result is simply a missed shot, nor good or bad enough to be worth remembering.

    The price is too high and and the learning curve is not suitable for everyone, but aside from these two flaws The Climb is simply one of the best VR experiences available today.

    Zero Time Dilemma is a small masterpiece of storytelling and a strong warning about human nature. A truly unmissable game.

    Finally a game in VR which shows that the third person is ideal for virtual reality, even if in the end it’s almost all talk and no action.

    The Carmageddon: Max Damage formula is always the same, but with a mediocre technical sector and obnoxious controls the game is just average.

    BoxBoxBoy! is a little, clever puzzle game with lots of ideas at a really affordable price.

    • 68 Critic Score
    Furi is a minimalistic fighting game that requires you to master its combat system, but that's pretty much all. The depth of the gameplay isn't great as you may expect and the poor variety of boss mechanics end in a series of very similar fights that can fail to satisfy your thirst for challenge. The game has vibrant colors and a cool atmosphere, but once again the art and the music are not crazy good and are driven by a poorly written storyline.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is another good LEGO game, with delightful graphics and sounds. Gameplay, however, is not always engaging.
    • 58 Metascore

    A JRPG with great classic tones, but too "inflated" and formulaic to recover only through a discrete combat system.

    Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival's merit is in putting the original Kick Off series under the spotlight again. Use an emulator and go for the real thing: a game like Goal! is far better than this poor and lazy new version.

    Playdead's Inside is a strange, freaky and compelling game. With stunning visuals and a graceful control scheme, it's a perfect, small, indie game.

    A very ambitious action-RPG in The Witcher style, which sometimes convinces but in other aspects is still a bit immature.

    Grand Kingdom is a JRPG that combines good tactic structure with a frantic, fun action. A great compromise for those who love the genre.

    Mighty No.9 is a great old school action platformer. Although it doesn't reinvent anything new, it shows a remarkable game, although weakened by some ingenuity, especially technical.

    One Piece: Burning Blood is far from perfection, especially if you are a fighting games lover. Much better if you like Rufy and company. In this case, you will find one of the best representation of One Piece’s characters in a videogame.

    Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest is a monument to the elegance of Intelligent Systems. Hard, yet accessible, it's even deeper than the series' standards. Fans will love it and newbies should try it (maybe starting from the Birthright version).

    Don't get fooled by its pixel-art: The Count Lucanor is a cruel survival horror, filled with puzzles and mystery. It's a simple adventure, easy to pick up and play. There are some flaws, but nothing too serious.

    The Flame in The Flood can be seen as a novel of formation nestled in a methapore that turns life into a river. Unfortunately Molasses Flood's first work tries to transmit a deep and manifold message with a not so deep and manifold messenger.

    Blood Alloy: Reborn feels like a missed opportunity: the game tries to melt Vanquish's speed with Luftrausers' high score madness, but it lacks of polish, content and gets boring quickly. Kudos to its soundtrack, very addictive.

    Aside from its '80s galore, there's a basic dungeon-crawler, powered by a clever combat system. Sadly Kill to Collect gets boring quickly and feels always the same, at least in single-player mode.

    Eclipse is a good map DLC pack: it features 4 PvP well designed maps and a new zombi map. The price is pretty high though, so this expansion may not interest every fan of the game.

    Severed is an interesting mix between the exploration of classic dungeon crawlers like Dungeon Master and a combat system inspired by recent mobile games like Fruit Ninja and Infinity Blade. A good way to add more value to your PS Vita. The game is maybe just a bit too hard.

    Alienation is good at what it does and what it does is shooting endless waves of filthy aliens. Even though the game lacks some content as bosses and some variety in missions, the experience is still fun as a solo players or with up to 3 friends.

    Yo-Kai Watch is a game with a great personality and a highly approachable combat system, but not free from major flaws: the random Yo-Kai capture system can be kinda frustrating, and it's a shame that it doesn't have an online multiplayer feature.
