Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is a precious remastered of two great adventures, still fun to play and made even more fascinating and immersive by the features and power of PlayStation 5. The collection ideated by Naught Dog is undoubtedly the best way to enjoy Unchharted 4: A Thief’s End and the spin-off Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

Gran Turismo 7 brings the best experience on track of the series, in an episode who links together the past, the present and the future of the franchise. Despite some minor flaws in terms of AI and collisions, the balance between simulation and accessibility is simply perfect, and DualSense is incredible. In terms of content, career mode shines and let players discover the history of automotive with love and passion, while multiplayer and custom events will let live Gran Turismo 7 for long long time.

Saros takes everything that made Returnal hard to love and smartly refines it. The result is one of the best shooters in recent years, on PS5 and beyond.

That’s how all platform games should be on touchscreen device: fast paced, with perfect controls and a great level design. There’s a lot of replay value in Bean Dreams, and a bean with a huge sombrero.

Sea of Stars is a proper homage to old-school RPGs, thanks to a splendid pixel art and a combat system that, while not fully expressing its potential, refreshes the concept of the turn-based system.

Wayward Souls is a fun, very demanding and deep roguelike that should give you plenty of satisfaction.

Indiana Jones is back with a brand new adventure that pays homage to the classic movies and allows players to fully immerse themselves in the role of the famous archeologist while also discovering a new intriguing mystery and a new set of memorable characters. There were doubts about MachineGames' ability to move away from the FPS gameplay they've known for the last decade. Still, they have succeeded: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is, first and foremost, an adventure, one that involves plenty of exploration, ancient ruins, and intricate puzzles, and more importantly, it's also a great game. After revamping Wolfenstein, the Swedish studio managed to do the same with Indy.

It's difficult to remain neutral in in the face of Dragon Ball FighterZ: if on the one hand we have a magnificent and stunning transposition of the anime - technically and artistically really out of parameter - on the other hand we see some imbalances in the roster and a gameplay very difficult to master. This does not deny the title a place of excellence in the beat-em-up Olympus, as well as an unmissable opportunity for all Dragon Ball fans.

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

Despite a not-so-smooth introduction of the huge anticipated Batmobile, Arkham Knight is an amazing game, and one of the best examples of open world games so far. The way you can interact with Gotham is remarkable, and there’s so much love for the DC’s comics that you can feel it in every corner of the city. Goodbye Rocksteady, and thanks for all the bats.

The most ambitious and intense Sam Barlow's game is a brilliant interactive mockumentary about movies and our relationship with the sense o narration. Thanks to a sleek and precise game mechanic and a clever management of a very thin fourth wall, Immortality plays with both cinema and video game languages, using them both to deliver a deep story with different layers. If you like FMV adventures and Sam Barlow's games, it's definitely a groundbreaking game.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is undoubtedly the best Spider-Man videogame ever made, but it could have been a lot better.

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.

Tomb Raider is a frantic and largely enjoyable rollercoaster ride. Crystal Dynamics has clearly learned the Uncharted lesson, giving birth to a brand new Lara. Maybe a tad easy and not so deep, but thrilling and exciting nonetheless.

Rayman Legends on PSVita is a solid conversion, marginally plagued by some minor problems. But still: if you're looking for an enjoyable platforming experience on the go, look no further.

Forza Motorsport 6 is the best driving simulator on consoles, a new step for a franchise that constantly and eagerly aims to perfection.

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).

An addictive, hypnotic, and severe game, that should appeal any kind of gamer and gives a whole new dimension to the idea of couch multiplayer.

Tearaway is a paper-based masterpiece, a lovely fable and the perfect game for PlayStation Vita. A game can exploit in a natural and very sublime way all the technological features of the Sony console, without straining or discomfort.

An excellent mix between an action-RPG and a shooter, wonderfully developed into one of this year's best indie games.

This is not simply a game, it’s a touching experience that anyone with a soul should try. It’s not the most difficult game on the market, but it’s probably one of the best.

A mystical, narrative experience enhanced above all by the dialogues and multiple choices, while it is a little more cryptic in the gameplay.

This is the Diablo III we should have gotten at launch. loot is the most important element and the adventure mode is great.

There’s no room for error in RETRY, but you will always have the feeling that if you fail, is always up to you, and that is what keep you always interested in this little amazing game.

PES 2016 is a stunning football simulation. With more animations, better controls and some incredible players 3D models, is a no-brainer for every football enthusiast out there.

Respawn Entertainment used Titanfall 2 to improve the formula seen in the first game, without compromising the experience. The introduction of a brief but entertaining single player campaign is just the icing on the cake.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a great first person shooter that mainly focuses on plot, characters and gunplay. It's not perfect, but fans of the series will be pleased with what MachineGames has accomplished.

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir reworks a title that already at the time showed great potential, turning it into an extraordinary experience. Artistically sublime, deep, captivating, the game of Vanillaware is a great title for every gamer.

A musical love letter addressed to fans of the Final Fantasy series, and one of the best rhythm games around.

A nice old-school user with low in longevity and high in challenge. Especially good if you play it side by side with a friend. Excellent pixel-art.

Another hit puzzle game from Capybara Games. Not on par with their Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, yet a very fine experience.

An exceptional RPG which is not afraid to stand toe to toe with the great names of the past. It's hard to find flaws in it, with the exception of a slow start and the absence of an Italian translation.

Unavowed is another adventurous little gem by Wadjet Eye Games, although with even more than usual in terms of gameplay and storytelling.

A clean and easy HD version that doesn't mess with the perfect formula of the original. Katamari is as amazing today as it was 14 years ago.

A glorious return for one of gaming's most beloved franchises, that provides fan with another satisfying pirate-themed adventure, some clever dialogue and memorable characters.

Chicory teach everyone else how to tackle some real issues about our society and, ultimately, our life. But its gameplay lacks that spark that made Wandersong great.

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is a very good remaster for a great game. Visuals are a bit too old, today, especially if you come from Bloodborne, but gameplay is still unmissable.

A deep, demanding and hypnotic puzzle game that blends music and gameplay into one seamless flow. Lumines Arise isn’t for everyone, but once it grabs you, it becomes impossible to let go.

Another great and extremely deep strategy game from Paradox, Europa Universalis IV is better than the previous installment in every single aspect and it's got enough content to go on playing for years.

While it adheres to genre fundamentals, Neva distinguishes itself through high artistic quality and a simple yet impactful story. The chapter and level design maintains a brisk pace, avoiding repetitive situations that could weaken the overall experience. This skillful management of time and style allows Neva to shine despite its brief duration.

Aside from a few graphical elements and despite the fact that Spike Lee's "movie" doesn't work entirely, NBA 2K16 remains the basketball videogame for excellence.

Pikmin 3 is the best game in the series, but that's not enough to define it as a masterpiece. Game mechanics are effective and funny, thank to a flawless control system, but the absence of a true online mode and the lack of real new features don't help to differentiate the game from its predecessors. Anyway, this is a game that every Wii U owner should at least try, and the proof that Nintendo still is the master in terms of game design.

Sunless Skies is a refined and more organic successor to Sunless Sea. The skies above London are full of intriguing events and charming characters depicted through a fancy, sharp and magnetic writing. The hybrid gameplay which mixes “choose your own adventure” elements with a classic RPG/roguelite scheme works well and offer a deep and satisfying experience. If you don’t mind read walls of text and embrace the rhythm of the slow gaming, Sunless Skies is one of the best games around.

A worthy sequel, visually gorgeous and strategically engaging, that could have been even better if CA embraced a stronger drive to innovate.

Tales of Arise brings some needed fresh air to its beloved Action JRPG franchise while sticking faithfully to its classic formula. The renewed visuals and the more mature art-style should not alienate the fandom: at its core, this game is a very classic Tales of title, with new additions that make it an even more memorable experience.

A beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Spelunky 2 is all a sequel should be: polished, refined, bigger. A game of learning, a game of death, a game of emergent beautiful gameplay. Every second in this game is pure art: it will frustrate you, but in a positive way in which you will shout at the TV and then smile and retry. Just to die again, until you learn enough.

Hi-Fi Rush is an energetic and frantic game, with lots of character and characters. Some of its bosses encounters are amongst the best I've played in a long time. The weakest part is its rhythm-based system, but the game is smart enough to let the players enjoy it even when they're not beating everything up following its tempo.

A very good futuristic racing game for WipeOut fans.

One of the best expansions we've ever seen for World of Warcraft.

I grew up with Halo, so despite the bad presentation of 2020, I still had hopes that Halo Infinite would be a big comeback for the series, but in all fairness I can't say that it is. Let's be clear: it is a solid and fun game in its fundamental mechanics, also capable of inserting novelties that work (from the open world to the grappleshot) and that I would like to see carried out. At the same time it pays the price of a troubled development, probably a result of the uncertainty with which 343 Industries is handling the series from Halo 4 onwards. A well-defined gameplay, and embellished with some changes that refine the formula a little, is used to carry on a story with a few memorable moments and that still has everything to prove.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a middle ground between a remaster and a remake; the game is not overly aged and benefits from the many improvements resulting so and accessible. This does not mean that it is easier: the level of challenge is the same as in the classic version, and in general this re-release, appreciable by both fans of the saga and newcomers, offers a deep and exciting story.

Absolum combines the immediacy of beat 'em ups with the depth of roguelites, and does it surprisingly well.

The look is not up to what is expected from a 2015 top production, but looking past it you can find a really addictive Open World RPG. Fallout 4 is as good as its predecessor, or even more: a must buy for every fan of the saga out there.

Arco tells a compelling story with minimal dialogue. Leveraging a few well-chosen mechanics, the game immerses players in a world where every interaction and item matters, and each battle decision carries weight. The turn-based tactical combat is challenging yet fair, encouraging strategic thinking without causing frustration. It's a gem worth experiencing.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is something that, until recently, no fighting game fan would have considered possible. Inside this package you will find some real milestones of the genre that shows the ability of the Capcom developers to evolve a format to the point of making it iconic. Thanks to the presence of training and online modes, as well as challenges for the best score with other players for arcade matches, this collection brings these timeless classics fully into the present.

A beautiful, emotionally engaging, artfully crafted game, completely centered around exploration and telling a mature story through interaction.

Another great set of compelling levels and two new adorable skin make Pac-Man CE DX+ a must have for every Pac-Man addict. And, also, for anyone who simply is looking for something simple, classy and deep. Hands down one of the best puzzle game of this generation.

If you never played Uncharted, with the Nathan Drake Collection you're in for a hell of a ride. But the lack of any juicy extra content is a shame.

An excellent dystopian thriller, with attention to every aspect and the audiovisual sector as valid as its engaging narrative.

A great and fun racing game that perfectly represents the emotions and the strategy of the Formula 1’s competitions.

Astebreed is a candidate for best "shmup" of the year.

Probably one of the best Vanillaware games, featuring an exceptional artistic style, a well-written story and captivating gameplay.

Cuphead is a stunning game. And a cruel one. You have to find out if it's more entertaining or frustrating, and that's not an easy task.

Two games in one and, more than that, an incredibly great sequel. This is the best possible Velocity... until the next one?

Lots of updates and new content for one of the best competitive beat'em ups on the market. Excellent.

NBA 2K14 has everything a basketball fan wants to find in a videogame. Xbox One visual impact is astonishing and the new modes, with a preference for My Player, work very well. The ball physics need a little tuning, but the game is still great to play, to watch and to listen to.

Diablo IV is not without flaws, especially when it comes to its dungeon design and its excessive approach to level scaling, and it's not as innovative as some of the previous entries but it's still a quality game, made with great care and competence. Above all else, though, Diablo's gameplay still offers plenty of fun: it doesn't matter if you're playing as a druid, a rogue or a necromancer, slaying thousands upon thousands of demons is always satisfying.

This is one epic game. A great fantasy battle circus, the new CA title is quite the visual experience, while remaining tactically engaging.

ElecHead is so simple and intuitive looking that you won't even need a tutorial to start playing and enjoying the game right away. Nama Takahashi's game can be finished in a single session and doesn't excel in replayability due to it being a puzzle platformer but you're going to be entertained by every moment of it while traveling through its brilliant level design. If you're looking for an experience that will make you remember why you love gaming then not giving ElecHead a chance would really be a crime.

Wonder Boy is finally back, in his greatest adventure yet. An old-school, visually stunning, funny and engrossing adventure.

Saints Row IV doesn't excel in terms of gameplay, but it hits a home run in terms of fun and laughter. The plot is both absurd and beautiful and the activities are so varied that one can easily forgive its faults. If you want a sandbox and you don't take yourself too seriously, Saints Row IV is a game you don't want to miss.

Most Wanted... and needed, to finally prove what Wii U can do by flexing its graphical muscles and capitalizing on its GamePad screen. An adrenalinic arcade racer by Criterion that shows the right criteria for developing Wii U ports in future.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate might very well be the best chapter of the series. The vertical gameplay makes everything more interesting, all while keeping the unique hunt feeling of the series. There's lots of content (the normal game, plus the Ultimate add on) and the game is more accessible to newcomers. Beware, though, because we're still talking about a very taxing game, which might not be everybody's cup of tea.

Tactics Ogre is back again, and it's in a better shape than ever. This new edition brings back all the deep gameplay of the original title, adding brand new mechanics which make the overall experience smoother and more contemporary.

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

A moment of true evolution of the FPS genre. Titanfall is pure history in the making, right now, straight in front of our own eyes: a game that's simply impossible to miss.

This is how DLCs or sequels should be made: by avoiding the "more of the same" formula. No sameness here, it's a great addition, with a lot of humour and unique gameplay. One of the greatest DLCs in recent years.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is an excellent game that shines in every aspect and pays homage in the best possible way to the cornerstone game of psychological horror.

Keroblaster is one of the finest and well crafted action game on iOS, with a unique pixel art style and a great soundtrack. There's no reason why you shouldn't buy it.

An evolution, not a revolution: fans of WWII settings will enjoy a deep, but accessible, strategy game.

Tropical Freeze is better than it has ever been on Switch. It still packs plenty of fun and good old platforming challenges, but it fails to surprise the player with new ideas or interesting twists.

A beautifully crafted, written and acted investigative adventure. It's a smart and deep take on the FMV “genre” and even if it's probably not for everybody, anybody who's interested in these kind of experiments should give it a try.

Mario Kart World is the most ambitious entry in the series so far, introducing fresh ideas like the standout Survival mode alongside its familiar, enjoyable gameplay. The concept of an interconnected world is a bold move that opens up new exploration opportunities, although the open world itself feels somewhat empty and some features seem a bit undercooked. Despite these flaws, the game delivers a solid and engaging experience that can provide countless hours of fun, especially with friends. It’s not quite the ultimate Mario Kart yet, but it’s a significant step in that direction.

Nioh 3 is a smart evolution of a winning formula. Team Ninja successfully transitions to an Open Field structure without losing the tightness of its level design, while the new Samurai/Ninja duality adds a fresh tactical layer to an already stellar combat system. The game feels fairer and more accessible than its predecessors, removing artificial frustration in favor of readable challenges. While the narrative plays it safe and side content remains repetitive, the core loop is stronger than ever. A must-play for fans of the genre.

Heart of the Swarm is not a revolution in the genre, but is what each StarCraft fan was expecting. It is an awesome RTS powered by amazing RPG elements, and its gameplay is able to bring the gamer’s mood to the next level, by unleashing some terrific cutscenes that drive the plot till the end.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a good metroidvania that makes its intriguing gameplay its most appreciable aspect, which offers many accessibility-related options that allow the game experience to be fully customized. Although it is not flawless in some aspects, such as an uninspired character design and a difficulty balance that is not properly calibrated, Ubisoft Montpellier's new game is a must play for all fans of the genre and the Prince of Persia franchise.

A brilliant take on narrative adventure games by Obsidian. Pentiment is an awesome portrait of XVI century Europe and a compelling game about the sense of history, religion, tradition and personal beliefs. Sometimes the narrative structure is constraining, but overall the writing is amazing, the style is great, and the bibliography become part of the game in a clever way.

Bayonetta 3, despite some forgivable technical stumbles, sets new standards for stylish action, proving to be a real masterpiece.

A lovely game with even lovelier four-legged protagonists. A simple game, but also a very fun one.

Riven's remake is a successful one, albeit with a few perplexities in terms of graphics optimisation and NPC's rendering. However, if you never could stand the puzzles of the original version, you certainly won't change your mind today.

Ghost of Yōtei offers solid gameplay and atmosphere but falls short of expectations, with déjà-vu design and modest production values. A good open world, yet not the standout PS5 exclusive it should be.

The Legendary Edition is the best way to experience one of the most fascinating space opera in all of gaming, with refined visuals and also a few gameplay improvements for the first Mass Effect. There are still a couple of bugs and technical issues that needs to be addressed, but overall it's a solid remaster.

This is probably the best remaster version of an old game so far, that brings one of the most controversial Final Fantasy titles in the modern times. And it still rocks.

This Remastered Collection proves to be a great graphical update of a masterpiece that stood the test of time.

ARC Raiders could be a long-running game with the right support. For now, it's one of the most solid, engaging, and fun PvPvE extraction games out there.

Don't worry about the free to play model business or the lack of night levels: Plants Versus Zombies 2 is exactly the game you were looking for. New plants and Plant Food add a new level of strategy, as well as the peculiar gameplay of the different worlds. Every single fan of the original game should give a chance to this sequel.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is the franchise's best episode since Assassin's Creed II. By mixing the series classic gameplay based on stealth, action and exploration with the new naval features, Ubisoft Montreal created an exciting open world game in which lands and sea are both fully explorable without any kind of interruption.

Silent Hill f is a compelling yet flawed return for Konami’s iconic horror series: narratively strong and visually striking, it immerses players in a haunting psychological nightmare set in the eerie Japanese town of Ebisugaoka. Hinako's touching and unsettling story is the highlight, but the experience is held back by basic combat, limited enemy types, and a design that requires multiple playthroughs to fully understand the plot without enough gameplay variety. Despite interesting ideas and solid presentation, the game loses momentum over time, feeling repetitive and lessening its emotional impact.
