    Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel tries to shake its gameplay with new, but not always good, elements. Luckily, the core is the same as always, and the game is still very good if played in a group of up to four friends, not that good if you're going to enjoy it solo.

    Despite not being as fresh and surprising as the original (which probably remains a better game overall), Bayonetta 2 is a heavenly triumph of excess: not only a sublime action game, but also a true killer application. Simply put, do not miss this one hell of a ride.

    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.

    Under the fur of Schrödinger’s Cat And The Raiders Of The Lost Quark there's and old game, flawed by an unresponsive control scheme. Like the '90s, “it smells like teen spirits”: but the scent goes away quickly.

    It's got some nice potential and it could grow with future expansions, but right now Train Fever is a very thin and convoluted game.

    A new Skylanders, a new compelling story for the fans of the series. Trap Team is not a revolution, but it's still a lot of fun to play.

    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.

    The second installment in Disney Infinity's franchise is more mature and complete, with a bunch of interesting new features regarding character development. Fun for the kids despite not so impressive graphics and a lack of variety in Avengers' main story mode.

    More arcade than simulation, Driveclub makes good use of PS4's graphical power and social features without pushing the pedal to the metal.

    A good remake of the original. Perhaps not the greatest game ever, but surely a good way to have fun with some friends.

    Entwined is an honest game, probably better then the PS3/PS4 version, but it's got the same flaws of its big brother: it’s a sort of incomplete and not refined enough experience.

    If you can get past the first hurdles and go beyond the initial disorientation, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter proves to be a very good and atipic adventure full of charm, mystery and exploration.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Alien: Isolation is scary and mixes shooting, stealth and exploration in a unique way. A dream finally come true for any Alien fan in terms of settings and details, although it lasts too long and it's very repetitive.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a new, competent episode, but there's nothing really new here, apart from the business model strongly based on DLC.
    • 76 Metascore

    A weird and intriguing adventure which manages to make good use of Kinect and is filled with pure Japanese madness.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    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.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    A demanding and incredibly deep game that lives up to the expectations. If you're into old school RPGs, you cannot miss it.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Shadow of Mordor is not just a great action adventure game, with a smooth combat system and a lot of things to do and discover, but a real taste of what the new generation of consoles can do. Mordor is a (beautiful) and vivid place that has its own life (tanks to Nemesis System) and in which Talion is just a variable, and not the ruler. That position is already taken by the Lord of the Rings.
    • 81 Metascore

    Maybe it won't change the rules of the genre, but Defense Grid 2 is a total package. It plays fine, it's addictive and has a lot of features. You won't be bored and you'll enjoy every drip of it. If you liked its predecessor, you won't be disappointed.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    Made with impeccable richness and dolled up with cut-scenes and "distracted" fine ladies, the new Compile Heart JRPG is not fully convincing, presenting a solid gameplay, without a challenge equally worthy. And in the absence of this balance, Fairy Fencer F loses a lot of biting, especially in the second half of the adventure.
    • 73 Metascore

    This Ultimate edition represents for Warriors Orochi what the Xtreme Legends Complete Edition represented for Dynasty Warriors: great content compendium of the old saga tradition but poor technological innovation for the new console generation. It's time to use tech force, Omega Force.

    A new, great episode for this great series. At first you will feel the downside in terms of graphics, but that's the only "issue" with this version of Smash Bros.
    • 68 Metascore

    In this game you can be a goat. With a jetpack. And earn a Michael Bay achievement if you blow up stuff. I really don’t think I need to be more specific (and persuasive) than that.

    There’s way more than a simple three-match mechanics in MUJO: there is a leveling system, epic battles with ancient Gods or fantastic creatures and a lot of collectibles. You can spend a really significant amount of time in this game, and you probably should.

    Cosmophony is a great arcade game with an amazing soundtrack. Controls are responsive and the difficulty level is well balanced. There’s something ipnotic in its gameplay, and that’s cool.

    FIFA 15 is still a beast of a game, but there's next to nothing new to see and play. Despite this, improved match presentation and goalkeeper AI make it an exciting game for months to come.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Endless Legend is a masterpiece in every conceivable way, save for the AI. If the devs could fix the hole, we would have a serious contender to the crown of the 4X genre.

    Forza Horizon 2 is exactly the game that petrol-heads around the world have been waiting for.

    No pain, no gain. Fenix Rage is harsh, strong and will punch you in the face, with no remorse and no regrets. If you accept its challenge, you'll find something interesting. But beware: anger and rage with the joypad are around the corner.

    Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited doesn't innovate much, but it's still one of the best chapters in the series and a perfect fit for the PS Vita. Strongly recommended.

    Stronghold Crusader II can surely elicit nostalgia feelings in the most old-school fans, but it seems to lack the virtues to truly compete in the modern world.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A good card-battler game, with some interesting ideas and a great presentation. It’s probably a little too easy but anyhow fun and addictive.

    You can't go wrong with Lethal League, a perfect mix of baseball and dodge-ball. Everything in the game is almost perfect, starting from its netcode, powered by GGPO middleware. You'll get tons of fun, with this addictive arcade style game. Windjammers' spirit is alive and kickin'!
    • 67 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Thanks to its fun to play combat system and the great amount of stuff to do Hollow Fragment is overall a good game, probably not the best RPG on PS Vita, but it’s however fun and engaging, especially if you are a fan of the anime.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A short but fascinating experience, with a strong personality and a nice artistic direction. But it feels like its nice ideas are underused and in the end something's lacking.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hyrule Warriors is a guilty pleasure for every Zelda fan with a bit of an open mind: if you're not a die-hard integralist of the saga, you will probably enjoy this unconventional and unique twist on the legendary saga.

    The landing of Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare on PlayStation 4 ended in the best way. Not just for 1080p-60 fps resolution and all the DLCs available until now, but especially for the remote play on PS Vita, which allows you to enjoy the entire game experience on the handheld Sony console.

    There are some hits and misses, but Splatter – Blood Red Edition goes straight to point. Aside its graphics and it's flawed story, there's a simple, and sometimes addictive, twin stick shooter. It won't be a revolution for the genre, but it's enjoyable.

    Back to Bed is a bland puzzle that tries to stand out with a wannabe-clever art direction, that mixes together different masterpiece in a very dull way.

    GoD Factory: Wingmen is a great mix of simulation and arcade gameplay, at least for the immediacy with which one approaches to the control system. In the space dogfights there’s also a tactical side and the ship's customization is really wide.

    An original "parkour shooter" with upgradable sci-fi ninjas offered in a free-to-play format by a well-known developer is well worth your attention. Repetitive procedurally-generated levels and non-cohesive story make it a bit less appealing, though.

    Counterspy is a platform consisting of small procedurally generated levels , with vague hints of stealth, some shooting here and there and a system of weaponry and upgrades. It is not a masterpiece and, to be honest, it does not fall into one genre. The truth is that it is a good pastime, disengaging and challenging.

    The risk of facing an old-fashioned adventure such as Shadowgate is to give up after the first half hour. Not just for the frequent deaths, but also to the feeling of displacement, for certain puzzles and for the extreme freedom given immediately to the player. However the atmosphere is awesome and fans of original game will love the new interface and the new puzzles.
