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.

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.

A nice puzzle game, based on a simple but entertaining idea.

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

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.

DNF Duel is a surprisingly deep fighting game, that doesn't require a whole lot of learning to be enjoyed. Mechanically interesting and with a very diverse cast of fighters, this videogame has the potential to entertain both new players and old fans of this genre.

Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 unleashes a tornado of ninja adrenaline that will strike the fans with all the power of its original story and artistic glory, even if some persistently unbalanced combat dynamics and roster incoherence will upset someone online. Thus said, not the perfect storm, yet.

The new, HD version of Under Defeat keeps intact the charm of the original game, but fails in bringing a touch of modernity that would have made the game a must-buy for the shoot'em up fans.

This is basically a touch version of the classic Subbuteo games, with the added value of fast and easy multiplayer challenges with social network friends.

Hundred Days is an interesting journey in the winemaking experience that is as unique as it is charming. As a management game it's not the most complex of the bunch, but it has enough depth to offer something interesting to people looking for something more than just a nice and relaxing atmosphere.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is a 2D metroidvania that does a bit of everything well but struggles to excite.

Minecraft meets an action-RPG: a bunch of nice ideas not very well implemented. Very nice graphics.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 concludes the saga brilliantly from a narrative perspective, but the gameplay feels a bit weaker in its repetitiveness.

A known series makes its comeback to the scenes with a game which is, overall, funny, engaging and explosive in its own craziness. Too bad that there are too many bugs.

The Red Strings Club develops the dystopia of a world without emotions through cocktails and dialogues. With moments of gameplay as strange as it is interesting.

An interesting RPG, just like the original Dragon's Dogma. The new content and gameplay tweaks add to the experience, but the underlying faults of the game still stand. It's a beautiful idea and a very promising universe: we definitely look forward to a proper sequel.

Pony Island is a unique, weird, impossible-to-describe little game. It's clever, often surprising and with tons of personality, but its mechanics can prove a bit repetitive.

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.

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.

Despite some limitations in party managing and world interactions, Cyanide has made ​​its best title ever. Aarklash Legacy is a good example of tactical GdR with an isometric view and many hardcore gamers will love it.

Siege Survival’s focus is on realism and the complexity of the management: it’s a good game, but it needs some expertise in the genre to be fully appreciated.

A title that tests one's ability to focus on a goal without giving up. At any cost. Even if it were necessary to leave the computer paused for hours, to not lose the progress made in that level. Nothing new, neither as gameplay nor as atmosphere, but overall, it is pleasant... if you’ve got the patience of the dolphin Jones.

A fun and immediately engaging game, with some new ideas, but nothing that really brings forward the series. The budget price should make it particularly appealing to the fans.

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.

Granblue Fantasy Versus is an interesting experiment, that can bring new users into the fighting game community… unless they’re interested in the single player side: the built-in RPG does not offer a real challenge.

A nice DLC that adds new zones and activities, but lacks a bit more of farming simulation features.

Mortal Shell is a soulslike that knows how to create the right atmosphere. The combat system is interesting, innovative in some ways, but the game still suffers from some technical problems that can arbitrarily vary the difficulty of the game, from time to time.

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 bland remastered edition of a one-and-half-year-old game, plus a reasonably good stand alone expansion. More meat than technique.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is an HD collection of 3DS titles never released before in the West that tries to reiterate the beloved Ace Attorney formula with an historical-drama flavour. Characters and settings are fleshed out in a brilliant way and yet the gameplay feels too familiar for its own good.

An old school fantasy first person shooter like we rarely see. It can get repetitive on the long run, but genre lovers should try 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.

Redlynx's Trials serie meets, actually crashes, with the Far Cry's Blood Dragon style. The results are totally rambling, hurray!

Great story and medieval atmosphere, but with some technical problems, like low frame-rate, graphic pop-ups and improvable artificial intelligence.

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.

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

Without spoiling too much, I'll just say that I would've liked a different, more compelling epilogue to the expansion's storyline, but the new spiritborn class is still a nice addition to the formula and there are plenty of content to enjoy during your stay in Nahantu, if you enjoy some more Diablo IV.

Lightning Returns is not the closure we hoped for and represent a slight step back for the series Nevertheless is a good game, graced by an amazing combat system that that probably deserved a better context. If you are a fan you certainly enjoy the game, but its magic seems to be lost somewhere else.

Rise of the Ronin fails to impress through its open-world sandbox or graphical fidelity, but it can still provide dozens of hours of fun thanks to a great combat system, an impressive amount of content, and an interesting story.

Aliens: Dark Descent is certainly not the best Alien-themed video game ever made but, thanks to several very intriguing ideas regarding the gameplay, it has proven to be a decent RTS that manages to perfectly recreate the mood of the famous film saga.

This PlayStation 4 port of Outlast is identical to the previous 2013 PC version. Same contents, same menus and almost same graphics (1080-60 fps). In addition the game is free for PlayStation Plus subscribers and, despite too-basic game mechanics, Outlast is simply scary.

Peach makes a comeback with a fun and artistically inspired video game perfect for kids, a little less so for hardcore gamers.

A nice, hard and engaging action game in dire need of a patch for gamepad support.

Although it’s more an action-adventure multiplayer game than a proper MMORPG, LEGO Minifigures Online doesn’t fail to deliver a fun (a lot of them actually) world in which you play with your minifigures. Just keep in mind that it’s a free to play game with children as the main target.

It has not aged impeccably and does not instill fear and tension as it did 29 years ago. However, in this new, rich edition, Rewind Clock Tower is still an enjoyable survival horror, original in its own way and widely replayable.

Dustforce is a beautiful game with an elegant design. The search of the perfect wall jump can be frustrating, though, and the difficulty level is only for the brave.

Wo Long has an addictive combat system, but also has trouble in finding the right balance: the new RPG from Team Ninja leans too much in the player's favor, while reducing the sense of challenge.

Heavily inspired by Demon's Souls and Nioh, The First Berserker: Khazan may lack depth in its narrative and feel somewhat uninspired in terms of level design, but it still leaves a mark thanks to its great combat system and some fantastic boss fights. Despite a few excessive difficulty spikes, it remains enjoyable for the most part.

A competent open world action game that answers how fun it would be to be a cop in a gta like game. The answer? Pretty fun.

A new incarnation for an old - but smart - idea built around the two screens setup of Nintendo 3DS. It asks a bit too much in terms of unforgiving mechanics, especially considering that the two screens gameplay is pretty demanding by itself, but if you like a challenge.

Thieves in Time slyly manages to broaden the horizons of its traditional platform gameplay adding lots and lots of mini-games, which become proper missions featuring a high number of different game mechanics, all (too) easy to play with and enjoy. More quantity than quality, though.

While Suikoden II and IV remain on another level, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes takes the formula of these classics to some extent and repurposes it in a JRPG that is certainly interesting but perhaps not as beautiful and accomplished as we would have hoped.

The Devil in Me still fails to make the big leap among the greatest champions of the genre, but as a narrative adventure with a horror background it works well.

The overly boisterous tone of the narration might unsettle purists, but overall, the "Yakuza formula" of this spin-off works quite well.

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.

After years of steady growth, Visual Concepts-branded wrestling is slowing down. The main new features of the 2025 season are not entirely convincing: the Showcase dedicated to the Bloodline stable does not involve as much as those dedicated to Cena and Mysterio. That's too bad, because Visual Concepts offers the largest roster ever and introduces numerous improvements to the main game modes, perfecting wrestling in the ring even more.

As good as the first episode, the game tries different roads and it goes forward with its mature, bloody, strong and maybe a bit too melodramatic take on procedural crime drama. Don't expect the kind of "choice and consequences" dynamics we experienced in Telltale Games, though.

This version of Stories Untold is not the best - you'll miss the feeling of keyboard typing - but these stories are still worth hearing.

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.

The game is enjoyable thanks to a very immediate arcade formula and to the good variety of missions in the single player campaign. The competitive multiplayer and co-op are fun, but some may find the overall game experience a little too simplistic and the plot, as well as the soundtrack, does not go beyond a good routine. At this price, however, it's a good deal.

While maintaining all the colorful levels and the clever ideas of the Wii U version, Scribblenauts Unlimited on 3DS is in some way tamed by the absence of both the object editor and the Nintendo characters. Still, it’s a little funny game, with lots to explore and to experiment with.

A good conversion for a great game. It's impossible not to notice all the gameplay and the features brought by the growing mod community on PC, which of course are not supported by this console version.

Engaging and fun to play, Powerstar Golf is a nice sport game for people who are not looking for a rigorous simulation. The value-for-price ratio is quite good.

Warface is a good F2P shooter, with an economic model that does not reward too much real money to win and a fun and deep co-op experience. The same can not be said about the competitive modes,and the originality. However, you can just try it free and if you like co-op MMOFPS, you will find bread for your teeth.

Fans of Marvel's character will enjoy impersonating Tony Stark's metallic alter-ego, thank to well crafted controls and compelling flying action. The game, though, soon becomes repetitive, graphics in the city is not very compelling and the scenes with Tony add little to the experience.

Despite limits that cannot be overcome with simple updates, Godfall: Ultimate Edition is the best possible version of itself in terms of quantity of content and overall quality.

A nice green-flavored assassin fantasy simulator. A shame that it isn't a good introduction to the franchise for new players, and a couple of details ruin what could have been a much better game.

Ultimate NES Remix is a funny take on Nintendo classics that still works its magic, but Nintendo could have been way more generous. This is a not-so-polished compilation that lacks something (e.g. Miiverse support and stamps) compared to the original Wii U games.

A new, polished version of the classic game from the PlayStation 2 era, but nothing more.

Moonscars is a video game that knows what kind of atmosphere it wants to create, how to create it and how to dance on those notes from the first to the last minute of play. The combat system is simple but satisfying and, although it needed more attention from a technical point of view and the story does everything to keep the player away (at least in the first hours), the adventure manages to entertain from start to finish.

Very good graphics, great character design, but LEGO's typical gameplay is becoming a little bit tedious.

Strong in personality, limited in scope, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is an interesting tactical game which could be very tough if played with the highest difficulty settings.

Cannon Brawl is a fun and addictive game, a nice change of pace for the Worms formula. Sadly the online multiplayer is a missed opportunity, but it can be improved. Aside that, you'll get a lot a fun. It goes straight to the point and it works really well.

Hannibal at the Gates is a conservative expansion, but nevertheless a good one. The second punic war is one hell of a conflict to portray in a strategy game, and the new Rome II DLC does that reasonably well.

Age of Wonders III is a bona fide old-school 4X. And it's also pretty good at it, even if sometimes falls in the trap of tedious, unbalanced micromanagement.

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

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game - Complete Edition is certainly an original scrolling fighting game, thanks to the reference imagery. However, games like Battletoads and Streets of Rage 4 have proved that the genre has evolved a lot in the past ten years, while the gameplay built by Ubisoft does not always shine or work at its best.

NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a step forward gameplay wise... but it excessively relies on microtransactions.

Some - those that love a bit of pain in their games, to make the reward even sweeter - might be truly bewitched by this charming game, especially if they play it with the right company. All the others will find in Helldivers a fun and refreshing experience, one that's capable of adding something unique to a well known formula crowded with glorious precursors. It might not be fully on par with the best ever in its genre, but don't hesitate to give it a chance if you dig this kind of shooter.

Visage is a survival horror that tries in every way to shake off that walking simulator aura that is so easy to put on it. On the one hand it succeeds in its intent, thanks especially to the proposed puzzles and the remarkable longevity. However, much of the experience is still tied to a limited script and the freedom of movement within the house is only apparent. The obsessive bactracking and the very slow pace of the action end up limiting the ambitions of the game, which remains - in any case - a raw and terrifying experience. Visage represents a considerable step forward compared to the usual horror rides proposed by the competition, but not enough to approach the classics it is inspired by.

Switching to Unreal Engine 4, MXGP improves its physics in relation with the always-changing track morphology, while graphics looks too muddy even for a motocross game. Enjoyable yet improvable.

Voice of Cards makes its particular staging its main highlight. The game remains a good RPG, but if you're numb to its aesthetic appeal, you can safely move on.

Compared to the two predecessors, something has been lost along the way, but the mix of action, puzzle and platformer continues to entertain and the graphics are simply gorgeous.

An interesting alternative to western strategic games, but too hard for players new to the genre.

Simpler than in its "home" version, F1 Race Stars still is a fun arcade racing game.

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

The new Abe is just like the old Abe: a painful hard game, set in a fascinating world. Be sure to know what you're gonna put yourself into...

Unoriginal yet competent, Stella Glow is your typical Japanese SRPG with added fashion-witches.

Gauntlet: Slayer Edition offers an entertaining multiplayer experience filled with action and fights, but lacks a little in the single player mode.

An interesting but flawed DLC that can provide some new fun adventures in Obsidian's sci-fi RPG.

Dead Nation, on PS Vita, is not a technical masterpiece, but it is surely an enjoyable, meaty port that fits perfectly on a handheld device.

The new Prideful Sloth's game has the same philosophy as its predecessor: peace, relax and nature and wildlife-related activities accompany us for hours in a sandbox that makes micro-management its own core. In the shoes of the last alchemist who can save Alaria we will have to strengthen ourselves by casting out the Withering, cultivating new worlds and building districts, houses and squares to make the city become a place to live again. Despite the presence of interesting mechanics, such as the creation of new worlds and an exploratory component that tries to tie the activities of the game, so much repetition and too many simplifications make it lose some magic after the first dozen hours of gameplay, especially after finding out the multiples technical uncertainties. However, it will surely get sandbox lovers to spend many hours experiencing it.

A new and moderately fun Yoshi game, with some nice level design and a lovely graphical style, but much less interesting than the original Yoshi's Island.

Hoods: Outlaws & Legends is a intriguing PvEvP heist game, that despite technical defects and several imperfections will entertain hardcore gamers. This multiplayer game is especially recommended for those with friends to play with and won't disappoint Robin Hood fans.

A nice turn-based tactical game, simple to understand but hard to master, set in the ever-fascinating Warhammer 40.000 universe. The experience is fun, but just two armies and one campaign don't fully justify the relatively steep price.

Doom VFR is an experience to try absolutely (even better with the free movement), but as a game itself it was reasonable to expect something more.

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

Cheerful, flirty, nice to see and enjoyable for fans, this Hyperdimension Neptunia improves the original without betraying it. Verbose, sometimes tedious and often naughty, the title is clearly made for fans. And fans should seriously consider the purchase.
