Natsume tried everything to give an identity to the latest Harvest Moon. The result, though, is too slow and boring.

A bad port and a gameplay that wasn't that great even on Xbox One.

An expansion pack with a very convenient new name, with some new content that does not justify the price tag. The game is the same the fans already played and it didn't age that well.

A Spidey game that falls short of any Batman: Arkham, again. Its open world is empty of interesting interactions and full of repetitive fights with uninspired bands of villains. Its free roaming makes you free as a bird when gliding in the air but clumsy as a silly spider when fighting on the ground. Just another shattered hope since Shattered Dimensions.

Bravo Team has many limits: it contains few good ideas and a lot of problems. A game with no personality.

Simplistic game and level design make Ironfall Invasion a boring and dull third person shooter. A wasted opportunity.

The return of this beloved series is marred by repetitive gameplay, imprecise controls and weak graphics.

The Settlers: New Allies tries to reinvent the series, simplifying its city-builders core mechanics to make room for newcomers more familiar with the RTS genre. Unfortunately, the final shape is a game that struggles to find its identity and that isn't really convincing neither as an RTS nor as a city-builder.

Boring level design, inaccurate controls and a frustrating camera make Super Lucky's Tale a below average platform game.

Russia closes the Chronicles trilogy in worst possible way, with a frustrating, broken game.

Don't get fooled by its funny and nice graphics, Mini Motor Racing EVO can be cruel and harsh. Its arcade driving style is flawed by questionable design choices, which perfectly suit games like these only on mobile scene.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is way above the par: the few good bright sides are not enough to cover its lack of contents and a far-from next gen graphics.

Some tense and creepy moments cannot make The Dephts an experience worthy of praise.

This DLC adds some interesting stuff, but the core game is still severely lacking in depth.

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

A sci-fi thriller too cryptic with its story and with very little substance on the gameplay side, for an unfortunately unsatisfactory result.

A nice shooter, dragged down by the usual freemium business model.

An action RPG that fails in almost any of its aspects: the resulting experience is unsatisfactory.

Ouch! The remastered PaRappa is not the one you remember from the PSX heyday. Serious lag issues and a primitive game system irreparably harm the game.

While the premises were good enough, Extinction fails to take a few steps further. Every giant slayed in the game feels exactly the same as the one you met before - and there is not much else to do in the game.

After the departure of Tomonobu Itagaki, Team Ninja seems to be victim of a curse: like a reverse Mida's touch, everything that Yosuke Hayashi comes in contact with suddenly turns to mediocre. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus unfortunately follows the same trend: instead of a portable rendition of an astonishing action game, here you'll find a questionable porting that, despite the interesting extras, is definitely not comparable to the original.

The lack of polishing is the main problem of a game with a lot of wasted potential. Clunky controls, bad A.I. and tiny production values condemn Dark to mediocrity. Only for hardcore stealth fans with a lot of patience.

Directive 8020 attempts to channel the claustrophobic paranoia of The Thing into deep space, but ultimately crashes under the weight of poor writing. Supermassive Games delivers a weak narrative lacking proper foundational context, populated by an unlikable and inconsistently written cast that makes it nearly impossible to care about their survival. The game's trademark branching choices are frustratingly executed, often resulting in illogical, delayed consequences without adequate narrative support. Coupled with an overreliance on tedious stealth sequences and surprisingly tame body horror, this sci-fi nightmare is a thoroughly missed opportunity.

Toren is quite good from an artistic point of view, but in terms of level design it's pretty bland and it's got too many technical issues.

Aqua Moto Racing 3D suffers from a number of technical problems. Much better to choose to the iOS version, rather than spending ten Euros in a racing game floundering in the waves.

A good game, ruined by a flawed conversion. If possible, it’s better to buy it for another platform.

Fat Princess Adventures is a nice, little and... boring experience. The real problem here is the shallow combat system.

Pokémon Legends Arceus should have been the next new step for the franchise but it turned out to be a disappointing experience.

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.

Babylon's Fall does nothing to be, if not remarkable, memorable: at least not in a positive way.

There's some fun in multiplayer, but Pokémon Rumble U is a pretty limited game, with not much depth and a lot of button mashing. Even worse: we still don't have the NFC toys in Italy.

Short in length and inadequate in terms of graphics, LocoCycle is a brief ride only partially saved by a bit of humor and a certain variety.

Project X Zone is a repetitive and boring tactical RPG that survives to itself only thanks to the charisma of its historic characters, who come from some of the most famous video games sagas created by SEGA, Namco Bandai and Capcom.

Despite its fascinating 14th-century Italian setting and a combat system inspired by real historical martial arts, 1348 Ex Voto collapses under the weight of its own ambition. The rushed narrative, clunky and repetitive gameplay loop, jarringly empty environments, and a severe lack of technical polish overshadow the undeniable passion of the small development team. It's a game with great potential that sadly bites off much more than it can chew, leaving players with a frustratingly unrefined and buggy experience.

Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul doesn't treat Masami Kurumada's saga fairly. Poor gameplay makes it a kinda tedious game and the graphic is sub-standard for a PlayStation 4 game. All the characters and their special moves are very well designed, though.

A bland horror narrative adventure, too focused on paying homage to the Dead by Daylight universe rather than on creating a compelling and convincing story.

Similar in terms of structure to your typical Pokémon game, yet with less-than-interesting plot and a not very clever combat system.

On paper it could a nice option for Magic: The Gathering fans, but the business model really drags it into the ground.

Black Legend isn't capable of living up to its interesting premise and quickly becomes a repetitive slog through similar combat encounters. It lacks the complexity other tactical RPGs possess, it doesn't offer meaningful exploration or choices and its writing is generally quite bland. The concept is intriguing enough but it needed a stronger game around it.

An half-developed remake, Flashback manages to conjure memories of the original 1992 game wasting them with lots of shortcomings and not-well-implemented ideas.

Slow, boring, poor in tension and mystery, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a disappointment and not just because it has almost no gameplay.

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.

A thin game that became repetitive pretty soon. Besides its good art direction and the price, Cocoro Line Defender is not really appealing, even for the hardcore fans of the genre.

Nero is a flawed non-game, with boring puzzles and lackluster visuals. Its interesting and captivating atmosphere is not enough.

Behind the quirky and irresistible zany arcade mask lies a fitness game that proves to be demanding (in more than a way), questionable and even shaky tech-wise: the intentions might be good, the results not so much.

Even if Retro City Rampage: DX is a great step forward from the previous installment, it still lacks what it takes to make a great game. Missions can become literally a chore and the parody itself isn't funny at all.

The Inpatient is perhaps the first big disappointment of 2018, at least for VR enthusiasts. Great graphics and sound, but everything else leaves something to be desired.

The freemium formula is not harmful in itself, but it gets so with games like Dungeon Hunter 4, which despite the excellent technical sector, the online multiplayer and the large amount of in-game items, is literally decimated by in app purchases.

Nice setting and premise mostly wasted on a game that would have needed more development time and refinement to fulfill its potential.

Similar to Super Smash Bros. but much easier and with a very simplistic fighting system.

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.

A racing game that loses its strengths and motivations in the transition from mobile to Switch.

Tennis World Tour is simply a game not yet ready to go out on the market and it still really has too many gaps, flaws and uncertainties.

We didn't actually need Syberia 3: a senseless tryout for bringing a perfectly closed series back in the spotlight. Syberia 3, with its mediocre (disappointing) narration and its poor technical design, should have remained Microïds' secret wish.

Seduce Me gives you what you're looking for, but not much more. It has some nice ideas, but they're not well developed, and even the adult content, while decently made and with some nice art, could have been better. A mediocre game.

A metroidvania mixed with a bit of soulsvania that doesn't know what it wants to be and tries a bit of everything, without really succeeding in any particular aspect.

Past Cure is a mixture of good intentions: unfortunately, it ends up putting too much flesh on the fire, and attempting to keep together various playful and narrative elements, it fails to deepen anyone. The result is a dull, tedious experience, with unjustified difficulty peaks and terribly long, boring sections.

Unfortunately the debut of Gravity Falls in the gaming universe is really incomparable to the glorious animated series: despite the solid look, this platform ranges from bad to insignificant, and truly feels like a gigantic wasted opportunity.

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.

Knack is boring, frustrating and visually shallow: one of the worst launch titles in PlayStation history.

Despite the four-year break from NBA Live 10, the Electronic Arts basketball series is back in late 2013 with an awful new episode. Ugly to see and hear and flawed in artificial intelligence and gameplay, NBA Live 14 finds some interesting elements only in Scenario Mode and Ultimate Team, but NBA 2K14 does much more ten times better and even if EA Tiburon has promised patches and updates, the feeling is that the NBA Live series is now dead and buried.

If you really wanna play and have fun with Godzilla and you still have an Xbox or a GameCube, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee will give you much more (more and more) satisfaction.

Sonic Boom is a broken game that still manages to let some of its potential shines through all the mess. But still, it's a broken game. Avoid it.

You can almost see the decent game Broken Porcelain could have been. At the moment of writing it is a buggy mess that's more frustrating than fun.

XIII Remake could've been a nice way to relive a classic FPS tale, but it's filled with too many bugs, glitches and technical issues. Maybe with future patches it can overcome its problems but right now you're just better off playing the original instead: it's cheap and it's still the best way to experience XIII.

Light has got a nice artistic direction, but that's it. Gameplay is erratic and badly conceived.

Multiplayer-only and mod-oriented, Rekoil offers visuals and online features which are too under-developed to be popular among the FPS fans. Not surprisingly, the servers are almost deserted already.

Balan Wonderworld is a dull game and a boring experience in a lackluster world.

A-Men 2 is a painful experience, a game that tries to emulate The Lost Vikings, but is not able to achieve its dream. The game is like a chore: you'll have to repeat tons of actions just to solve a puzzle. And, with few checkpoints, that's not fun at all.

1-2 Switch fails in its primary goal: show how fun can be a Switch party game. There's literally no reason to buy a game that you shouldn't download even if it was free.

A derivative and mediocre game with not a single fresh idea and just the budget pricing and a decent co-op mode to make it mildly interesting, if you're into that kind of multiplayer experience.

Embarrassing is a word that doesn't really give the exact idea of how i feel about Postal 4. The crude style of the game suggests a ton of easy jokes, but in this case I feel the best thing is simply to flush the toilet.

Enticing characters and a good narrative are both cast into the jaws of a collapsing gameplay that cannot bear the weight of incomprehensible choices.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is a dull, ugly looking and boring third-person shooter, with a confused plot and without a single passage worthy of being remembered. The online co-op slightly uplifts the situation, but other than that there is really very little to save.

Don't get fooled by its cuteness: Evoland is a bad game, unable to fulfill its promises. Behind a bunch of jokes, there's an old, ugly, clumsy role-playing game, unable to bring any justice to its source materials.

The Waylanders tries to follow on BioWare's footsteps but Gato Studio's game lacks all the qualities that made Dragon Age: Origins stands out.

Another homage to the platforming of the Eighties, but this time it's sadly a mediocre affair in terms of style and mechanics.

Submerged is a poorly executed adventure game in which you have to climb to the top of a bunch of buildings emerging from a forgotten city swallowed by the ocean, looking for supplies for your wounded little brother.

A handful of interesting (although poorly developed) ideas are the only bright spots in a game that disappoints in almost every possible way. Sadly, Terminal Reality offers one of the ugliest survival horror games ever.

Simply put, Testament: The Order of High Human is a bad game that isn't fun to play and doesn't really offer anything meaningful to its players, who are better left if they simply avoid it.

Pacific Rim is the usual useless and badly developed tie-in; everything, from the graphics to the combat-system, leaves much to be desired and the pushy in game purchases are the classic final blow on a game that no one frankly was missing.

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.

A disappointing game too simplistic even for its kind of casual genre and with too many great alternatives to choose from.

A boring and broken game that fails even to offer a little bit of fan service.

A disappointing return to WWII, with sub-par artificial intelligence, limited multiplayer support and several annoying bugs.

Unoriginal and with boring action sequences, S.W.A.N.: Chernobyl Unexplored is a failed exploration of an otherwise fascinating setting.

Rodea the Sky Soldier on Wii U is a good idea, but a broken game with a frustrating control scheme. Visually it's a game of almost a decade ago. Forget it.

Frustrating, convoluted, messy, mediocre and, frankly, kind of wrong. Even hardcore fans of the Ninja Gaiden series should avoid it. In fact, specifically fans should avoid it.

A game that is unacceptable due to its structure, filled with all the wrong choices.

A disgraceful fighting game, totally lost in its tons of curves and plastic women, who look like soulless dolls. Girl Fight will enrage all feminist movements (by the way, they have all the rights to be mad), proving how the media itself isn't able yet to achieve wisdom and maturity.

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.

Devil's Third triumphantly fails both as an action game and as a shooter: Itagaki's fall from grace is thunderous and bewildering, and the drama is almost surreal. It's hard to tell what happened to the genius behind Ninja Gaiden, but the result here is frankly depressing.

A bad implementation of the free to play concept in a multiplayer-less SoulCalibur chapter. The heavy server issues also add to the disappointment.

Patapon Remastered is a broken game and a frustrating experience. What a pity!

Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival's merit is in putting the original Kick Off series under the spotlight again. Use an emulator and go for the real thing: a game like Goal! is far better than this poor and lazy new version.

Short, disgraceful and terribly unfun: it's hard to recommend this game (even to diehard TMNT fans). No, definitely not Cowabunga at all.

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.

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.
