    If you like Contra, you can't go wrong with Mercenary Kings. By adding the loot, Tribute changes slightly a working formula and respects Konami's legacy. Shooting is addictive, the action is fast-paced and the pixel art, made by Paul Robertson, is simply wonderful.

    A true masterpiece, amazing on the Sony platforms just like it was on Xbox 360. If you never played Fez, now it's your chance. Don't miss it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Funny and with some nice character design, but there's not enough interesting gameplay to support the nice visuals and the humour.

    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.

    A simple game if compared to Magic, nonetheless the Blizzard CCG delivers a fair amount of depth for the average player. There is a little shade of pay-to-win, but is perfectly possible to have fun without spending a dime.

    If you are a fan of the Tales Of series this is a golden chance: one of the finest installments of the series is now available in the glory of HD, and despite Dawn of the New World fails to keep pace with its bigger brother, Tales of Symponia alone is worth the price of this collection.

    A puzzle game like many others, that falls victim of a messy PC port. It's got a lot of levels, but there are many better alternatives out there.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    Esteban and the Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Worlds is a puzzle game that begins pretty well but gets worse very quickly due to a strong repetition, a confusing plot and a very low difficulty level. Technically it would not even be bad and the fans of the original TV series will appreciate the animated cut-scenes, but the rest of the game (including the weak stealth sections) is not so good.

    An ambitious game, too ambitious for its own good. Masters of the World sports an impressive amount of content and options, but also plenty of bugs and a terrible UI.

    With its creepy atmosphere, Master Reboot sometimes is able to do the right thing. Sadly, there are too many flaws and from a technical point of view the game lacks of polish. Even the diehard fans of the horror genre won't be satisfied by its core gameplay.

    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.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    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.

    • 95 Critic Score
    Dark Souls II is a great follow up to Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, maybe the best possible sequel. It's more accessible, but still hard, mysterious, always engaging and incredibly rewarding. A masterpiece.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    The attempt to propose some more adult issues than usual and to offer from the beginning two playable characters and two different game environments are good choices, but the rest of the game (plot, storytelling, puzzles and visuals) isn't convincing at all.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Not only Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster is the best collection so far, but it gives you the chance to play in the best possible way one of the finest JRPGs ever made. Every fan should go back to Zanarkand and fight once more with Tidus and Yuna.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    The idea is great, the realization not so. Democracy 3 fails to portray the nuanced inner workings of a democratic government, instead presenting the player with a sort of strategical puzzle that can and must be solved in a clear way.
    • 71 Metascore

    A decent game with some nice moments, but it lacks the usual magic touch of the other Lego Games.

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

    Some new social features and a crisper 1080p look enhance this PS4 reincarnation of Dead Nation without changing the original, proven twin-stick shooter formula.

    A good port of a very good free to play game. World of Tanks is a tactical and slow paced game, a thing that makes it particularly unique in the Xbox 360 ecosystem.

    Beyond the censorship on the European version, The Stick of Truth is the best South Park RPG that we could have hoped for: exaggerated, irreverent, almost perfect. We already want a sequel, DLC and so on.

    Does it make sense to spend 20 € to play Resident Evil 4 in 2014? Who already knows everything about this 2005 classic made in Capcom maybe is gonna wait for a better offer on Steam. For all the others this PC port is mandatory and even if the game has some bitterness here and there, it remains one of the best Shinji Mikami's creations, as well as a true masterpiece.

    Where once there were plants and zombies there are now trolls and vikings, but the type of fun remains unchanged. Trolls vs Vikings is a good game, but a touch of extra personality would have been appreciated.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Do not underestimate Garden Warfare: beyond the zany (and irresistible) presentation lies a competent and enjoyable third person shooter, one that won't revolutionize a genre but that will surely reward you with hours of pure, immediate fun.
    • 23 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A mediocre on rail shooter that could become somewhat enjoyable for huge fans of the character that are willing to play with the PlayStation Move.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A final episode of a saga that is the shadow of its former self. Unlike the Gabriel he was, Dracul, the Lord of Shadow, shows all his true power just in combat. Boring and simplified platform, stealth and exploration mechanics are left behind, like corpses drained of blood.
    • 83 Metascore

    Retro City Rampage DX takes the over the top vintage from the original versions of the game, adds an awful amount of enhancements and becomes a very good open world portable game.
    • 67 Metascore

    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.

    An excellent stealth game, true to the spirit of the original and at the same time much more modern. Very polished gameplay and a clever difficulty level make Thief a game no stealth fan should miss. The plot and the setting aren't always inspired, but the quality of the content greatly makes up for it.

    TxK
    Apparently chaotic and impossible to control, TxK is in fact a perfectly designed game, immersed in a psychedelic tempest. A great old school shooter, with tight controls and superb level design.

    Rebirth lacks inspiration, purpose, good ideas. It's riddled with bugs and, even when it seems to work, it manages to be dull. There isn't any true reason to play it.

    The new Strider isn't a bad game, but it sure isn't on par with the series. Its "metroidvania" style has some pacing problems, and the design feels too generic.

    Threes! is not only a brilliant game, but an instant classic too. It's simple to learn but hard to master, it's graced by a gorgeous style and it's absolutely charming. Nothing can improve a game that is nothing more nor less than perfect.

    Retro Studios confirms its great taste for platform gaming with a game that's a joy to play and a real challenge for every hardcore gamer. It's a pity that Tropical Freeze cannot retain the same freshness of Donkey Kong Country Returns.

    The PC version of Shufflepuck Cantina substitutes the touchscreen with the mouse keeping its naturalness in terms of control system, yet inevitably loosing the portable appeal of such a fast niche game. It would have been better to keep the free-to-play formula, too.

    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.

    Ellie grows up looking at the grown-up world of The Last of Us through her youthful eyes. It takes only a couple of hours of our life to grow up with her, though. If you have 15 euros Left Behind to play with Ellie and Riley, just do it. Your combat skills won’t grow up too much, but you will be filled with emotion by this short yet touching coming-of-age videogame.

    Romance Dawn is a dull and soporific adaptation of the Oda's saga, marked by an inexplicable indifference to the 3DS features and an apathetic and approximate narration that ruin its interesting combat system which combines role-playing and fighting games.

    Unfortunately, the 3DS version of Swap Force doesn't have the same appeal of the home console version due to the different use of the Skylanders, but it's nevertheless a decent game. It would have been even a good game if there had been some sort of multiplayer and a longer campaign.

    With four new maps, a couple of weapons and an extra episode for the Extinction mode, the classic DLC formula of Onslaught is too expensive for what it offers, while the horror cameo by Michael Myers feels a bit cheap and tacky. Zombies, aliens and now serial killers: what’s next, CoD?

    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.

    Dungeon Keeper is a bad game that desperately tries to emulate Clash of Clans and its business model, but with no success. There's nothing of the original franchise in Mythic's game, there are just long waits and annoying money requests.

    To replay the restyling of the reboot of Tomb Raider, a rent is probably the best solution if you have already played the original game. On the contrary, this (graphically) Definitive Edition is definitely the must-buy version for those who have not met the young new Lara yet.

    Might & Magic Legacy X is not a retro masterpiece as someone expected, but at the same time it's not just a simple exercise of nostalgic role playing gaming. It's rather an imperfect mix of the two and if you liked the old episodes of the series, you're gonna like this too.

    Insurgency is a multiplayer tactical and highly realistic shooter, far away from the prevailing and more friendly patterns of Call of Duty and Battlefield, and therefore not suitable for everyone.
