Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water is a good survival horror. Its story and creepy atmosphere are involving, but unfortunately the use of Wii U GamePad is really unhandy.

Brut@l is a decent action game, only for fans of the genre.

The game is repetitive and the gameplay is too bland. Only recommended to big fans of Yo-Kai Watch.

Doom 3: VR Edition is a somewhat listless version in the implementation of VR, although the effectiveness of the game remains indisputable even almost twenty years after its original release.

Sea of Thieves is a fascinating experience that is undermined by the lack of variety and player progression. A game that shines if played along with your buddies, but fails to engage the user if played without a group of friends.

When you can fill in your game mutant turtles and ninja stuff you can't possibly fail, and indeed The Game Maker made no mistake. Like Combo Crew TMNT is a fun and fast paced combat game, exactly what a Ninja Turtles game needs to be.

Good atmosphere between music and silence. A brief dream about flying and diving.

How To Survive 2 is an enjoyable experience in its mix of genres and aspirations, but if you're not used to co-op experiences do not expect great emotions.

This remake operation by Interceptor and Apogee contains many flaws that undermine its overall success; autosaves are too infrequent, frustrating platform sections, as well as a game formula that is so naive and "harmless" (splatter included) that will hardly find proselytes out of the retrogamers circle.

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.

Another Sight shows a beautiful steampunk world, but its technical limits are the major obstacle to what could have been a really nice game.

There are no reason for that 'Simulator' word in the title, given the fact that controls are clumsy on purpose in order to create the greatest possible mess (inside and outside your patient), but nevertheless this is a game that makes you laugh, and it's not a thing to be underestimated.

Gotham Knights is a dense and mostly enthralling action RPG with a competent (if predictable) story and the best Gotham City ever seen in a videogame. From a technical standpoint there are some annoying performance issues, and it doesn't look like the game was really meant to be next-gen, but the gameplay is solid and playing in co-op with a friend it's definitely an experience worth trying.

A smart and original puzzle game. It's got some control issues and the price is a bit high, but it deserves a fair chance.

Quarantine Zone: The Last Check stands out for its concept and emotional impact, making the player feel the weight of deciding others’ fate. Weaker in variety, narrative, and technical polish, it lingers more for its discomfort than its game design.

A survival horror that lacks everything - atmosphere, narrative and gameplay - despite the original source material.

Hardcore gaming in its purest form, Cloudberry Kingdom is an homage to the best platform games out there. A good game that needs just a little bit of personality to stand out among the several others platform games available today.

Milestone's Gravel rocks. A solid arcade driving game which features mainly off-road races with a convincing sense of speed and a good variety of competitions, vehicles and tracks. Too bad for the thin longevity of its campaign and the complete lack of alternative single-player modes, which greatly reduce Gravel's specific weight.

As a remaster Iguana Games could do a lot better and the price will not please everyone, but Turok is always Turok and a good and fun travel back in time is always welcome.

Despite the obvious efforts to maintain the technical sector and the disturbing atmosphere at times, White Day: Labyrinth Named School is an anachronistic, awkward title that comes out on PS4 out of time and shows a lot of years on its shoulders. The Korean title fails to thrill.

Albeit faithful to the original spirit of the series, this seventh chapter seems devoid of a true soul. A couple of good ideas can't save it from the abyss of mediocrity.

We all love games based on a pirate's life (well, maybe Ninja doesn't) but we need the right amount of challenge in it. Assassin's Creed: Pirates is blessed with stunning visuals, lots of things to do and fun naval battles, but it gets repetitive too early and is not challenging at all.

A verbose strategic one, with a farraginosa interface, offering a solid, complex and articulated game structure, but also very "hard" to tame: only for fans.

One of the best entries in the Warhammer 40.000 universe. Mechanicus offers a fantastic story, an outstanding soundtrack, and a sick voyage into the dark future of mankind where only war can be found.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX still remains a difficult platformer, but also an extremely varied and modernized one, with grace and competence in terms of graphics and sound.

Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage? is not really the typical lazy tie-in created as an easy cash cow: here and there you can see some intriguing ideas and cool stuff "à la Adventure Time", yet the inconsistency of the gameplay and the lack of fun seriously compromise the overall experience. Wouldn't it be time for a truly mathematical videogame?

Part visual novel, part JRPG, it's a bit more interactive than usual for the genre, but it still lacks any significant innovation.

Say No! More is a game that entertains in its entire duration. Studio Fizbin's game teaches us the importance of saying no when needed and in its simple way it also manages to convey a meaningful message. A funny and short game, one that you cannot help but love.

Strong in atmosphere, weak in gameplay, Call of Cthulhu is a missed opportunity to build a great lovecraftian experience.

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.

If you are fan of the Alien movie saga and appreciate cooperative shooters then you'll love Aliens: Fireteam Elite. It's not a perfect game and doesn't have an innovative gameplay mechanics, but it knows how to entertain especially when played with friends.

A bland action RPG that doesn't shine in any aspect and loads too much on the only prominent element to make it truly effective and interesting.

Travis Touchdown's return is full of craziness, just as you would expect from Goichi Suda. Unfortunately, is also a repetitive and aesthetically disappointing action game.

A great JRPG for PS Vita and a remake that finally makes a tribute to the original game, improving it in every aspect. Maybe it's a bit too integralist, but just for this it’s perfect for all fans of the genre.

It could have been a solid RPG, but its poorly balanced difficulty makes it an ultra-niche game. And there are a few better alternatives 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.

Bustling and fun, it has quickly become every Final Fantasy‘s fan (and new acquaintances) forbidden dream. Dissidia Final Fantasy is what we can call fan-service at its best.

The game is repetitive and the gameplay too bland. Only recommended to big fans of Yo-Kai Watch.

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.

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.

XDefiant is an online shooter with balance problems but still fun, solid in some aspects, and (far too) generic in others.

A charming game, unfortunately thwarted by its sense of progression and how the gameplay is handled.

High on Life is a game that keeps its promises. Underneath a skin made up of over the top humor there is a biting irony towards a genre (old school FPS’s) which has far too many tropes to make fun of (and here not even one is left behind). The sometimes chaotic level design, combined with not exactly exciting boss fights, risks overshadowing the merits of the Squanch Games game, but a good sum of game mechanics manages to keep everything afloat, waiting for the next joke and the resulting laugh.

World War Z has a Left 4 Dead-based-DNA that exposes too much its lack of originality. The game, in its essence, is fun and enjoyable, but most of the merit it isn't all of its doing.

A great narrative Oddworld game, but with too many technical problems and a I.A. that sometimes will destroy your nerves.

A racing game that will surely satisfy the Supercross’ fans, even with some technicals and artistic flaws.

If you feel nostalgia for classic arcade adventure games from the Nineties like Flashback and Another World, you should not miss this one. But be aware of it’s unforgiving level design.

The first exclusive game for Stadia is not the one you always dreamed of seeing in the launch line-up for a new platform. Even if it's not that bad, is nothing to be excited about either.

Blair Witch manages to offer a gameplay that has reached its limits by propping it up with an intriguing storyline, a good dose of atmosphere and a couple of interesting mechanics. However, it tends to overdo in the end and, above all, he needs a little more technical cleaning.

Isonzo is the third act of the WW1 Game Series franchise developed by Blackmill Games which, even without proposing major changes compared to Verdun and Tannenberg, proved to be a good tactical shooter that evokes the battles on the Italian front. Its biggest problem, however, is an imperfect technical optimization, but also the low amount of playable content such as maps and modes.

An interesting railroad management simulator that seems a little bit stuck in time.

We are Football is a love letter to old-school football manager titles, from which inherits virtues and vices. The holistic business management simulation is fun and the boardgame vibes works well on the long run, while the tactics aspect is a little bit clumsy and not so satisfying. Overall, it's a lighter, indie and quite different alternative to Football Manager series, with a great database editor too.

Platformines is a simple, clever and fun action game: you'll be lost in space for a very long time, but beware, sometimes it can be harsh and punishing. With its resemblance to Bordelands (loot), Spelunky (random generated area), Magiko Gaming does the right thing.

Football Manager Classic 2014 is a very good handheld take on SI Games simulation masterpiece.

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.

Ultra Age is a graphically dated action game, but it has a combat system that can offer an interesting rate and level of challenge.

A fun game that allows you to practice fitboxe at home, with a nice variety of contents and a great soundtrack.

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 great Star Wars game that shines in multiplayer and feels good even in single-player, but that doesn't pay attention to users with its unpleasant business model.

Yuke's seems trapped in a Sharpshooter, that's the only way to explain this uninspired chapter in the series.

A unique and interesting title, with great atmosphere and nice Oculus Rift support, but kind of lacking in terms of narration and gameplay.

For being the first current-gen game in the NHL series, the result is bittersweet: there have been undeniable steps forward in both graphics, simulation and gameplay, but the same cannot be said on the content and mode side. EA Vancouver probably needed more courage and time to come up with something new: for now, NHL 25 still remains a prisoner of its glorious past.

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.

Nights of Azure 2 is an action-RPG with a good number of content, but despite a great artistic direction, it's technically underdeveloped and with a still too low level of difficulty.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is a Lovecraftian game to the core, but it is also an investigative adventure with an overly slow pace and less frightening than expected.

LEGO Worlds is a good sandbox game, but it lacks a bit in what makes other LEGO games funny.

Happy Home Designer is a competent but rather boring spin off.

A recommended appointment for those who have enjoyed the previous episodes of the series in the past, but it probably remains an all too simplistic and self-referential product for the simply curious players.

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.

This is The Police 2 is Fargo mixed with X-Com. Managing all your cops is fun, but sometimes it's a bit too harsh without any reason. Like life.

Marlow Briggs and the Mask of the Death is an honest hack'n slash game with varied action and nice combat system. What it lacks in style and in the technical department is fully compensated for by the overall quality of the action.

Cobalt is a resourceful game stained only by a controversial artistic direction. An indie gem that, between single-player and multiplayer, gives everything and does it well.

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

The new Toki is exactly the same old Toki. A rather hollow experience for 2018 players.

A Memoir Blue is a short, touching, interactive adventure about a complex mother-daughter relationship. It's a very interesting sensorial experience which translates memory mechanisms into gameplay, even if interaction sometimes feels a bit too driven. Anyway, Miriam story on the memory lane is authentic, mature and compelling.

Biomutant definitely has its charms: its post-apocalyptic open world is filled with lush environments and the combat encounters are entertaining, making for a fun game experience, albeit one that is sometimes a bit repetitive.

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.

This collection has got some nice bells and whistles, but lacks in meat and will not satisfy veterans as much as newcomers.

Ultra SF2 is still a frantic and skilled beat'em up, but it lacks options and single player modes.

As always, Ride is a good starting point for Milestone, an encouraging debut for a new IP, with a solid foundation from which (re)starting, but also other aspects to be improved in the future. Definitely worth buying if you're a motorbike enthusiast.

Park Beyond is a decent game for fans of the theme park simulation genre, its gameplay is solid enough, and there are many options to choose from when building the park of our dreams. It lacks originality, though, and there are still quite a few bugs and glitches that can negatively impact players' experience.

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

With interesting setting and characters, Close to the Sun starts as a piece of art, but it doesn't keep its premises due to hurried pacing and a bit superficial evolution of the story. Non trivial jumpscares and a good direction make this short game really a missed opportunity and only a decent horror adventure.

A standard musou experience, graced by an impressive narrative universe that makes it unmissable for the fans... and rather boring for anyone else.

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.

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 4 could have been a racing game with some brilliant ideas and a quite fresh career concept, but the overall result is quite opaque. A quite ok motocross game for supercross fan, fun for expert riders while edgy for newcomers, quite improved compared to other entries in the series, but not enough to stand out as a great episode.

The Cruel King and The Great Hero could have been the right evolution of its predecessor, but for every step forward there's one back. It remains, however, a nice fairy tail to play with the youngest.

Armored Core: Verdict Day is a deep and rich experience, with some technical flaws, but a wonderful dark atmosphere. Online mode is full of potential and the single-player campaign will last long enough to catch user's attention. If you love mechs, you can't go wrong with it.

A competent shooter in virtual reality. Somewhat oversimplified in the use of guns and vehicles but nonetheless more than worthy of your time, if you like shooting Nazis.

State of Decay 2 is the classic "more of the same" sequel which, however, thanks to some interesting innovations and a deep game formula, does not disappoint.

Detective Pikachu: The Return only works as a large and varied "Pokémon container," but as a detective adventure it will only be able to give some satisfaction to the youngest players.

After some years in the shadows, the official MotoGP game is back in pole position.

A fun racing game filled with lots of different game modes. Too bad the graphics engine feels outdated.

A good, solid game based on World Championship license of motocross. A good experience for those who like this sport.

Scorn, with its mix of puzzles, horror, monsters and exploration, is a unique and alienating experience that you'll love or hate.

A stilish roguelike which is fun in multiplayer but feels underdeveloped under several key aspects.

A funny, cheap party game and a valid alternative to games like Nintendo Land, Game & Wario and Wii Party U. But for the party to explode you will need some friends. And some Amiibo figurines too.

The Sims 4 comes on home consoles with all the goods and all the drawbacks of the PC version.
