WWE 2K15 on new-gen consoles is like a Raw talent with an already high definition who needs a harder workout to increase his muscle mass, wrestler roster and MyCareer contents.

First Light follows the Second Son formula without trying anything really new. It still reveals itself as an enjoyable, but watered down, experience.

A completely crazy arcade game, ideal for those who want tightrope walkers, negligible for everyone else.

Blackpowder Games' debut is a thrilling experience, which sometimes is able to scare the player. With its creepy atmosphere, you won't get bored, but the concept sometimes is clumsy and recurring. Even with its flaws, it's a delightful horror game.

Code Vein II is a missed opportunity: it expands the universe and streamlines the gameplay, but sacrifices challenge on the altar of accessibility. Between a difficulty flattened by overly powerful teammates and various technical uncertainties, it remains a pleasant title but lacking the spark necessary to excel.

A nice rendition of a good boardgame held back by a confusing interface and a limited amount of content at launch.

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters is not the best Action-RPG you will play in your life, but it’s still a decent game, if not good one. And it’s free. If you love the genre, chances are you can have fun with its simple gameplay. It’s worth a try.

Stunning but "dated": World Series-caliber gameplay in a graphics engine that feels outdated. That’s the paradox: it drives you wild… and then, in the blink of an eye, it reminds you why you just can’t put it down.

A musou-like action game, a bit repetitive and easy. Perfect just for the fans of Gundam and gunplay models.

A good sequel to the ideal game for Burnout’s orphans, or at least those of the Crash mode.

A good package that pays tribute to the long running WarioWare series and a great opportunity for all the newcomers.

Speaking of a video game of such importance, it is difficult to separate the nostalgia effect from the actual quality. While Shenmue III proposes itself exactly as it wanted to be, on the other hand it stumbles into flaws that go far beyond anachronism. The desire to appear in everything as the ideal sequel to a series frozen for eighteen years proves to be a double-edged sword. As much as Shenmue III manages to find internal coherence in its compact rhythm, one cannot overlook the obvious conceptual limits that undermine its overall quality. Yu Suzuki's title does not go beyond the "miracle" of his own existence, and as satisfied as it may be, even for the most dedicated fans it will be impossible not to admit an unpleasant aftertaste of lost opportunity.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen on Nintendo Switch is not perfect at all but it still has its own charm.

While graphically Senua's Saga: Hellblade II offers memorable glimpses and moments, anything beyond the visual impact and the dark and fierce atmosphere is disappointing, especially for a sequel announced five years ago on which Microsoft bet big.

Engaging, fast and frenetic, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker feels good in its attempt to recreate the action of both manga and anime, despite minor issues here and there.

An ambitious roleplaying game marred by unsatisfying combat and too many graphical glitches.

Minecraft Legends' adventure, in single player, can be completed in a handful of hours, going straight to the goal with the right strategies, but it can also keep you company for much more if you want to explore all of the overworld. The PvP mode, very central on paper, doesn't really shine if you don't use some communication system external to the game – a non-secondary problem, given that strategy is really crucial and good coordination helps not only to keep the games fun, but also to ensure that they do not last longer than necessary.

Pagan: Control gives another glimpse of Far Cry 6 rogulite DLC action. The formula is basically the same as Vaas DLC, with the same strengths and weaknesses. A pretty solid gameplay experience burdened by lack of depth and variety.

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.

Better or worse, an amusing game of the twenty years long LEGO series.

Technically outdated, God Eater is still a fun game, perfect for old fans.

Urban Trials Freestyle is no Trials by RedLynx, but it's a competent clone: fun and challenging game perfectly, suitable for Nintendo 3DS, with easy-to-pickup-and-play nature and a fair amount of challenges.

A game with two distinct natures that don’t always interact well, wrapped in a pace that’s a bit too slow. Fortunately, the interesting use of deck‑building makes Death Howl a solid title for fans of the genre.

A survival horror with some decent ideas, but which fails to express itself to the best of its ability because of an action pace that is far too choppy.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition is perfect for those who want to preserve the original game, but has too many elements that have aged badly.

There’s too much LittleBigPlanet fan service and too little gameplay in this endless runner, but despite this it’s still able to entertain for a few runs.

Yu-Gi-Oh! RUSH DUEL: Dawn of Battle Royale !! is a game prisoner of its nature, if you love dueling and you are not afraid to grind matches after matches then it's the game for you, bearing in mind, however, that variety is not at home in the Konami game and that the single player mode offers a very limited challenge and a plot suited to a very young audience. The Rush Duel make their promising debut here, representing an alternative to the main mechanics of Duel Monster, which have become undeniably complicated for a novice to approach. We hope this title can represent a fresh start for Konami, a return to more ambitious video games for the franchise in the future. The potential is there, we hope there's also the desire to make the most of it.

Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is a game that knows how to entertain but without surprising, a lively title that can return a handful of carefree hours. The lack of any playful flicker, however, does not distinguish it from many exponents of the genre. The 3D graphics show a remarkable use of cel shading, but suffer from ubiquitous stuttering. Asha in Monster World is a decent remake, then, that lacks the restoration work done on his "colleagues", shows a little 'too much the weight of the years.

Like the original title, this graphic remake of Destroy All Humans! presents itself as a fun title for some gameplay ideas and for its style, without however being able to leave a mark. Unlike 2005, however, the renewed graphic version is not enough to balance a well aged, but still aged, gameplay. Who has never had the opportunity to help the Furon to conquer the earth, could find in Destroy all humans! a pleasant interlude from other more demanding or massive productions. Those who have already taken part in the invasion in 2005, this time may not find a satisfying stimulus to help the imperial cause.

House of Ashes can be, at times, a rewarding experience; however, the developers, in order to achieve a remarkable result in graphics, have neglected too much the pace and the interaction with the player.

Falcon Age makes good use of the unique features of VR and conveys a very special feeling thanks to the relationship with the falcon, but the gameplay has more shadows than lights.

Warriors All Stars is definitely a game for fans of Koei Tecmo and musou games, filled with many interesting character interactions. Sadly, even with a nice battle system, it just feels average.

Aragami is long and quite fun, but suffers few bugs and glitches here and there. Even though the gameplay is fairly repetitive in the long run, the game is challenging and the story can keep you going forward nonetheless.

MotoGP 26 is like that rider who nails three perfect turns and then runs wide on the fourth, looks at you, and says, “Don’t worry, we’ll fix it in the next patch."

TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 is a step forward for the series and overall is a fun racing game with unique atmospheres, a great sense of speed, and a surprising environmental storytelling. It pays the price of a strange handling, somewhat bizarre physics and some harsh game design choices.

An original and challenging game, maybe a bit too complex and repetitive.

A bizarre shooter with an original and beautiful artistic direction but not much meat under it.

Nintrendo packed some truly unforgettable classics into a single pack. And forgot to celebrate them the way they deserved to be.

One of the most predictable Kirby games in years, but it still a pack of fun for younger gamers.

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.

Skull and Bones proved to have a stable enough structure to stay afloat and not sink as long as the French publisher decides to support one of its most controversial projects ever. With more profound and enveloping gameplay, we would be talking about a worthy rival to Sea of Thieves. Still, Ubisoft Singapore's pirate-based adventure is just a decent video game experience more likely to be appreciated for the management aspect and the considerable amount of playable content.

A strange mix of various different types of games. If you are looking for something unique and different you might find some solace in this little game, but beware the less than ideal graphics and enemies that are lacking in the uniqueness department.

Ratloop's Rocketbirds: Hardiboiled Chicken give to a rather conventional shooter/platforming game some unexpected depth, in the form of an interesting storyline and characters introspection. What stands out is its value production, more than brilliant level design or brand new ideas. A good choice for any PS Vita gamer out there.

The first episode of the Layton saga on mobile presents as main character the amateur detective young daughter of the famous professor. Could it be that the tone of the story and the puzzles are too much aligned with her immature age?

Do not expect hours and hours of gaming or a huge virtual immersion, but The Lost Bear is a very enjoyable puzzle-platform and VR is the classic icing on the cake.

An adventure with a strong emphasis on narrative, plagued by a far from optimal technical side but more engaging than you might believe.

Persona 5 Tactica is the first game in the Persona 5 sub-series to make me wonder if we really needed to see the Phantom Thieves again. It's never bad, but it does feel pointless most of the times. The new story is just "more of the same" without any real twists, and the combat system, although pretty fun, lacks depth and isn't particularly challenging. Still, it menages to entertain for most of it's 30 hours duration.

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

It's almost like the original game, with a better frame rate but also a more expensive tag price. You decide if it's worth it.

MotoGP 15 is a fun game, but it needs a restart with great momentum and a new engine.

A very classic survival horror, tailor-made for the most nostalgic gamers, with a creepy and well-made atmosphere, but a far too clunky gameplay.

A good multiplayer experience, which still needs some refinement and which goes a little too far in penalizing solo players.

A honest remaster of a criminal co-op FPS that is definitely worth a try, but only if you haven't already done it elsewhere.

Murdered: Soul Suspect discloses an interesting ghostly-noir soul and an original action-adventure detective body, but its investigations are too easy and their dynamics are too shallow to entertain for more than six, seven hours.

Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training is an update of the old formula but lacks variety in its content.

Marathon gets better the more you play, but in today’s gaming landscape, it’s fair to ask how many players are willing to invest many hours before the real fun begins. The foundations are solid: the artistic vision is striking, and the gunplay is satisfying. Yet, many of Bungie’s new shooter’s mechanics seem almost designed to push players away rather than draw them in. A confusing interface, overly convoluted weapon and item design, a low TTK paired with punishing PvE, and progression systems that only balance out after unlocking most skill trees create significant early hurdles. And even when everything finally starts falling into place, some design choices remain puzzling, including the mandatory quarterly wipe, which currently raises more questions than answers. When it all comes together, Marathon is undeniably fun, but at this stage, the game still needs quite a few key tweaks to fully realize its potential.

Out of time? Maybe, but The Thing: Remastered maintains excellent tension at times, and team management, though not always focused, is an added value that should be noticed in a game like this.

Sacred Citadel is a modern and compelling brawler, that ultimately turns up to be one of the most faithful game in its genre. SouthEnd managed to capture part of the magic of the good ol' Golden Axe, but there's some problem that keeps the game away from a must-buy status.

Part arcade and part simulation, WRC 7 is a good and enjoyable game. But the competition is still way better.

A worthwhile sci-fi story that is marred by questionable gameplay. One would expect more from Don't Nod.

Elden Ring Nightreign has a lot of good ideas on its side, a lot of quality, and I'm sure it will blossom during the coming months; however, at the moment the ratio of fun to frustration seems a bit problematic.

JETT - The Far Shore is an adventure that, at its best, conveys a sense of absolute freedom to the player in the exploration of an alien planet. The setting is full of ideas ... and it is a pity that many of these are not fully developed during the story. From a stylistic point of view, the contrast between the minimal graphic style and the orchestral soundtrack is excellent and gives a unique character to the work.

The roguelite experiment is appreciable because it offers a demanding and satisfying challenge. Unfortunately, the lack of general variety and the poor in-depth narrative component are two significant burdens, and they are not the only ones.

Yooka-Layle offers an interesting take on the classic 3D platform formula. It's a pity that it controls and behaves not as expected from some experienced developers as the Playtonic guys are.

Song of Nunu tells a story with fairy-tale tones: monsters, journeys into the unknown, moments of uncertainty and confrontations with the abyss; thanks to the relationship between Nunu and Willump, brought to life by the developers through effective work inside and (above all) outside the movies, the adventure proceeds finding its own lightness even in the darkest moments.

A "zen" game that makes you relax but lacks in challenge and longevity.

What could have been a diamond is ruined by abysmal voices in Italian and several bugs that have not been solved a month after release. A real shame.

A DLC for fans only, with some secrets revelaed and a bunch of new bosses.

The Lego Movie 2 Videogame is a solid game that uses a classical formula to succeed, taking no risk and so lacking in innovation.

An original and fun game, that falls in the usual free to play trap.

Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle is a nice experiment that turns an iconic saga into a battle royale, even if some gameplay mechanics don't fit well with Tōru Iwatani's original concept.

Sand Land is an enjoyable game for those who love Toriyama's works, but it fails to fully stand out for its narrative quality or all the mechanics underlying its gameplay.

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

While certainly good in multiplayer, the Necrons DLC comes without a narrative campaign, and the new free sandbox one offers little to single playing gamers.

A decent Pokémon spin-off for all ages, sold at the right price but shamefully missing an online component.

If you can tolerate backtracking, a bit of repetitiveness, and a fragmented narrative, Funko Fusion might appeal to you due to its sheer volume of content, its LEGO-esque gameplay, and its cinephile verve.

An interesting videogame development software with a bit of a target audience issue.

Pokémon Champions is a Pokémon battle simulator; it does just that, and that's fine. It was developed with that specific purpose, and it wouldn't be fair to dismiss it as a flaw. As it stands, the game is a bit lacking in content, completely missing the possibility to battle against the CPU, and more could have been done to teach newcomers the basics of high-level competitive play. On the plus side, the experience is completely free to play, with a non-predatory, and indeed very fair, monetization system. Pokémon Champions is therefore a good foundation to build on, a live service built to last. If the game wants to be the home of competitive Pokémon in the long term, however, it must prove it with continuous improvements over time.

After being released exclusively for PlayStation in the Japanese market in 1999, Goichi Suda’s visual novel crosses over to the West. In its PS4 edition, it is also enriched with two new chapters. A mature and interesting script and an excellent soundtrack are the strong suit of this otherwise slow paced game, with a weird and clumsy control interface.

Elex is a raw diamond full of flaws but with too much value to consider it as an ugly and wrong game. Give it time, be patient and it will capture you.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is a captivating roguelite thanks to its narrative concept and artistic style, but it struggles in terms of pacing, variety and difficulty balance.

It's a new, competent episode, but there's nothing really new here, apart from the business model strongly based on DLC.

It’s funny, engaging and, at times, surprisingly challenging: Minecraft Dungeons only lacks a bit of depth in the end-game area, and we hope to see that added in the next months.

Rajas of India is a good little DLC, which deals with a somewhat obscure epoch of history. Even if it adds little to the overall picture of Crusader Kings II, it could still be a good purchase for the committed fan.

Star Ocean: The Divine Force is a promising new beginning for the saga, thanks to its combat system and the new exploration gameplay ideas that support a great cast and a meaningful story.

RoboCop: Rogue City is an old school shooter that aims primarily to entertain fans of the franchise, who will have the chance to fight crime in the role of the robotic vigilante. Teyon's new project is good enough to provide more than a dozen hours of fun, between gunfights and investigations to solve. Despite the use of Unreal Engine 5, the visual experience of RoboCop: Rogue City is not the best although the direct involvement of Peter Weller.

As an updated remake, Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded is a good example of improved graphics and the new game section is not bad. This revival operation works less well considering the modest longevity, low difficulty of the puzzles and scaffolding narrative that, despite all the good will, has no longer the sexy and funny appeal of 26 years ago.

A game that conveys in a very fascinating way the principles of magical thinking, folk horror and hauntology connected to the Italian rural tradition thanks to an awesome artistic work. Gameplaywise, though, Saturnalia struggles to offer solid survival horror mechanics and the roguelite elements are quite shallow, while the core of the narrative adventure is nonetheless gripping and interesting.

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

A good tennis simulation that, despite a few flaws and frustrating controls, has managed to achieve a much better result than the original game.

Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army is a stand-alone expansion and as such should be treated. In short, do not expect a new installment in the Rebellion franchise with plot, characters, missions and stealth oriented gameplay. The final score is just an average of the single-player experience and cooperative multiplayer, where Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army shows all its real value.

While there's a lot to do in the package, Disney Infinity doesn't particularly excel in any compartment and has some serious and unforgivable design flaws, considering its target audience. While repetitive, the game can provide some hours of fun nonetheless, and has great potential.... but next installments have to be built better and really with kids in mind.

Iron Fisticle's nostalgic trip is fun, but sadly it doesn't last too long. It feels like a medieval Robotron 2084, proving how clever was Eugene Jarvis' idea. The game is addictive, but its content burns quickly.

Given also the shortage of similar titles on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Broken Sword 5 – The Serpent’s Curse is a decent graphical adventure for beginners and long-time supporters.

New characters, old backtracking: this Special Edition further enhances the stylish hack 'n' slash combat system of DMC4 without improving its cheap level design as well.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a game that, despite its structure and initial difficulty, delivers a surprisingly enjoyable experience. Its rough edges and unpolished aspects are evident, but the core strengths - particularly its rewarding evasion-focused combat - elevate it. Though it feels like a product from a bygone era, its compelling gameplay moments make it a worthwhile journey.

Midnight Murder Club impresses with its atmosphere and original ideas like the Wild Cards, but it suffers from lack of content and variety. Perfect with friends, less engaging when played alone.

A nice puzzle game, with some interesting level design and a cute concept. It lacks a bit of personality and it gets really fun only in the final world.
