Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! compared to the free experience on PC, adds either a lot or nothing, depending on your point of view. Pragmatically one could argue the futility of the expense in the face of mostly identical content available for free. However, the point is not this: whether you want to reward the developers after the experience with the free edition, or in case you want to approach the game using its "improved" version (despite some limitations), Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! remains a work of extraordinary emotional impact.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a nice, frenetic and adequately deep fighting game. If you're a Persona fan, you should give it a chance.

One unforgettable experience, that unfortunately comes to an end too soon. But still, this is one journey everyone should embark on.

Despite being incredibly easy to get into, Super Mega Baseball is built upon an accurate simulation that makes it quick and solid at the same time and places it in the same league as a timeless classic like HardBall!.

An intense and gorgeous brawler from the creators of Rogue Legacy. Its velocity and variety are the keys to a fresh cooperative game with friends.

The Alters by Polish developer 11 Bit Studios once again showcases their talent for blending complex gameplay mechanics with a thoughtfully crafted narrative and mature themes. The decision to make the protagonist's clones into fully realized alter egos - each with distinct personalities, backgrounds, and ambitions - adds meaningful depth to this unique survival-management experience. While the interface can feel a bit unwieldy, and the gameplay loops may become repetitive with an uneven difficulty curve, these issues don’t detract from the game's compelling story, immersive atmosphere, and solid visual design.

Engaging and entertaining, Rogue Legacy is a solid remix of classic arcade cliches bend together with a pair of original twists. The result is a solid action game which will keep you playing for a long time.

Refined, mad and really rich in contents, BattleBlock Theater is a well developed platform game which may satisfy both players looking for a solitary experience and others willing to apply for entertaining multiplayer sessions.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 continues to stick to the franchise’s strengths, making Kiryu’s world deeper.

The Rise of the Golden Idol is a good sequel with creative situations and an intriguing storyline. The difficulty level could be much higher, but this is another fine investigation from Color Gray Games.

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.

Rogue Legacy is an addicting roguelike platform game hybrid. It works great on all PlayStation consoles and the Cross Buy system makes it a real bargain.

Shadowrun Return is a great RPG, and its addictive gameplay makes you forget some minor glitches you can encounter. This steampunk version of Seattle is remarkable, and if you want some engaging turn based action this is definitely the game you are looking for.

A lovely fairy tale, told using the very strengths of gameplay and interaction. It's got some small issues and if you're looking for a complex and long action adventure it's not for you, but it's a very strong experience that touches themes you rarely see in videogames.

SI Games confirms and enhances the extraordinary work done last year, making Football Manager 2014 the almost-perfect game for all the Ferguson wannabes out there. And if they keep making this game so good, in a couple of years we will have to raise our top review score to 11.

A must-have for AI: The Somnium Files veterans but also for those who are passionate about science fiction and crime.

WipEout Omega Collections is full of tracks, vehichles and style. But there's nothing really new and the game isn't as fresh as it used to be.

This is one of the coolest and interesting racing game I’ve ever seen on iOS, and definitely a title that you should try, unless you have a deep hate for the genre.

A very good port of the last Ace Attorney game. The first case is free and then you have to pay for the others.

A huge expansion, which manages to give the fans countless hours of new strategic fun, without breaking the core balance of the game. Even though it's time for a new installment, Brave New World will be very hard to pass for all the Civ fanatics out there.

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions' Adventure Mode is the best way to play Geometry Wars. Engaging, addictive, hard to master. If you love Geometry Wars, you can't miss this entry in the series.

Ratchet & Clank's comeback on PS4 is a truly enjoyable and intoxicating third person shooter. It really doesn't add anything to a well known formula, but it's a blast while it lasts.

A good successor to the original Valkyria Chronicles, with some new stuff. It's a pity the game is so stuck in its past.

Football Manager 2021 is the best episode ever of the series on the pitch, where the experience is nearly perfect in terms of simulation, while off the pitch the game has really a clumsy and obnoxious user interface. Overall, the experience is great and the football world feels tense, realistic and dynamic as never before, but there's still more room to improve the game in terms of narration, flow and emotional storytelling.

Kirby and the Lost Land is one of the best games in Kirby's history. The renewal is limited, but everything works well and there is a desire to feel important and to live a "real" adventure that has rarely been found in the story of the pink hero.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is what we hoped for: a reconfirmation. Asobo has built a sequel in an almost artisanal way that knows perfectly where he has to bet his chips, where he has to stop and where there was no need to put his hand. The end result is once again a surprise, but for different reasons. A Plague Tale: Requiem has what it takes to make it better than its predecessor. It is true, I may have shown a certain mild disappointment on the graphic aspect but, given the starting point, signaling a slight improvement, even though it may be below expectations, still places the game as excellent example. Also because, A Plague Tale (the series) is not that, it never was. It has always been a memory to go through, it has always been the story of Amicia and Hugo. A story that, I bet, will remain in your memory. In the memory of the video game.

Three Kingdoms is one the best, if not the very best, historical Total War game. The strategic gameplay is especially compelling, and almost Paradox-like in depth. Still, the lack of variety caused by the limited setting widens the gap with the much more spectacular, and overall more enjoyable, Warhammer 2.

A great second half for a great graphic adventure. If you love classic horror you cannot miss it… unless you’re allergic to huge pixels.

An in-depth wargame featuring the titutar Sengoku Jidai, the Japanese invasion of Korea and some other interesting scenarios. Overall, a very good battle simulator.

Thronebreaker is an interesting spin-off, with a clever puzzle design and an interesting atmosphere. But its story could have been so much better.

Graphically appealing, Far Cry 4 reincarnates the gameplay of its marine old-gen form into the mystical and evocative Himalayan setting. The transmigration of Far Cry's soul into a new (re)generation body is successfully complete: the Nirvana of open world FPS is a step nearer.

Mimimi Games doesn't disappoint and yet again the German studio is able to deliver a very satisfying stealth-tactical experience. A must play for any fan of the genre.

A very good arcade adventure game, with a beautiful sense of style and some very good level design. It's also a good sequel, even though it feels less ambitious and complex than the previous games in the series.

Moss is magic. It's an impressive game, not just for the excellent use of PlayStation VR, and at the same time it's the perfect way to spread what VR is capable of.

Terraria on PS Vita is a must buy game for every owner of the Sony's handheld. This is probably the best port so far, thanks to the dual control's nature of PS Vita, finally properly used.

Outer Wilds is a brilliant Sundance Sci-Fi experience, with a perfect balance of space exploration, mystery solving and storytelling. The solar system designed by Mobius Digital is an outstanding playground, full of odd surprises and unique events. Above all, it's a place worth exploring and it’s perfectly integrated into the time loop structure of the game. If you love to feel a genuine sense of discovery and adventure, it’s definitely your game.

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.

StarCraft Remastered is the old StarCraft with a new coat of paint. This is what the fans wanted, this is what Blizzard delivered. The core gameplay remains insanely good, but a lot of mechanics and UI limitations show the age of the game, especially if compared to StarCraft II.

A fascinating and deep strategic adventure that will please the storytelling's lovers.

Manifold Garden its a game about changing: from the changing-gravity mechanic to the high variety of gameplay, the game design defines an interesting first person puzzle game with a lot of exploration in Escher-style. A good game that sometimes just suffers a bit of emptiness due to the lack of narrative aims, but a must-have for all puzzle lovers.

A great comeback for an amazing game: if you didn't manage to play Final Fantasy X back in the days, you definitely should play it now.

A very interesting piece of software that really has something to say. But beware: if you judge it only in terms of gameplay and pure fun, it can result in pretty boring time.

The innovative and tight simulation of the latest DiRT: Rally renews the traditional and relaxed arcade mood of the long-established DiRT series in a game that successfully blends the two approaches. DiRT 4 is no revolution, just an excellent recap.

Simply put: one of the best games available today on Nintendo Switch.

A love message for Crash Bandicoot's old fans. The new look is great, but at times the difficulty needs to be balanced.

Star Wars Pinball is the best pinball available on your PS3/Vita. Each table of Star Wars Pinball offers something familiar while giving you a new-interactive-way to play pinball. These are definitely the pinball tables Star Wars fans were looking for.

The PC version of the classic WayForward game is a beauty to behold and extremely fun to play. If you're not into Time Attack mode, though, it's a bit on the short side.

Despite some minor issues, 428: Shibuya Scramble is one of the most unique visual novels ever seen.

Ni No Kuni II is a little too easy, risking capitulating for such a small but fundamental element. However, the heavy, intense experience offered by Level 5's is so powerful that it's impossible to get away from the TV. It's an internal contradiction, a compromise you have to descend by, to enjoy one of the most exciting videogame worlds ever made.

Statik is a nice surprise for puzzle-game lovers. A 5.5 hour long jigsaw puzzle immersed in an essential but fun genre VR.

Valkyria Chronicles is a charming and deep JRPG; perhaps not so difficult, but very funny, with strong emotion and depth. The excellent cel shading frames a truly excellent game.

A complete and satisfying Formula 1 game, a must have for the discipline’s fans.

A very rich collection, a must for fans, a bit less so for those who played the various published editions several times.

A rich, deep and funny collection of great games: if you’re a retrogamer, you can’t miss it.

The Anno series looks to the past but aims to the future with a balanced, substantial chapter, with few flaws and a lot of heart divided between Latinum and Albion.

OlliOlli World is simply brilliant. It's a hymn to gameplay, joy and the search for the perfect run. Mixing up old school platforming and a very keen skate simulation, Roll7 created a clever, fun and compelling adventure on wheels.

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.

Thank Goodness You’re Here! is a short but overwhelming experience. If you like English humor it will hardly leave you unsatisfied. Although it lacks a real challenge, the unique combination of the extreme imagination of the developers (who indulge in often unexpected, always ingenious changes of scene and tone) and the effectiveness of the gags, well conveyed by the voice actors and excellently underlined by the graphic style and soundtrack, make it a game difficult to miss for fans of graphic adventures.

Ball X Pit is further proof of the extraordinary creativity of the independent gaming scene. It's a title that knows its history well, drawing on classics such as Arkanoid, Tetris, and Breakout, and using them as a foundation to build a modern, brilliant, and surprisingly layered experience. The combination of RPG elements, management mechanics, roguelite components, and moments of pure bullet hell creates a unique game that is both frenetic and strategic. The gameplay loop is solid, satisfying, and capable of keeping the player in front of the screen for hours without noticing. The difficulty curve is well calibrated: challenging but never frustrating, always offering a stimulating and rewarding challenge. Artistically inspired by arcade atmospheres and accompanied by sophisticated sound design. A game that truly takes you into the abyss and manages to make that journey so enjoyable that you won't want to come back up.

A timeless classic, restored with care and respect: System Shock 2 remains a deep and unforgettable experience.

Pokémon Ultrasun and Ultra Moon is an enhanced version of its predecessors and it keeps all of their quality. Unfortunately, there are few new and actually noteworthy features. Also, from a technical point of view, it still has some problems. Necrozma's story could have been managed much better: like this, it's almost a copy with a different ending of the one we saw in Sun and Moon.

Shin Megami Tensei V is a severe JRPG, at times even a bit 'heavy, but capable of standing out thanks to its flawless integralism in building an extraordinary gameplay.

Octopath Traveler 0 is a fine addition for the series, unifying the narrative while expanding the tactical depth of its renowned combat system. It still has minor flaws here and there, but overall is as solid as the premises suggested.

Creative, intuitive and long lasting: Planet Coaster is the best park-builder on the market.

Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign, even with its flaws and the sense of a project in some way… unfinished, is an extraordinary fighting game and a must buy for anyone who loves the genre.

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.

FIFA 17 introduces in football games a thrilling, if limited, journey. All in all is the "same" enjoyable and rich game, now visually more polished than ever.

Gears 5 is still the same game it has always been, but in Katie it finds a fresh, new character with a more intriguing story.

As a debut title from a new indie team, it's difficult to imagine how things could have gone better: Gray Color Games has indeed managed to create a charming and well-crafted investigative adventure that every wannabe detective should really consider playing.

Salt and Sanctuary is a delightful, long-lasting and addictive mix between a soulslike and a metroidvania. A very appreciated starter, for all those who are waiting for the main course (Dark Souls III).

Vainglory is not just one of the best good looking games, but one with the finest gameplay. MOBA never feels so right on mobile platform. Until now.

Something more could be done regarding graphics and additions/improvements to the game formula, but Dark Souls Remastered remains a successful re-release of an extraordinary game.

One more great work from Telltale Games. These guys prove to be really good at writing stories, not only dramatic ones.

A Collection that includes some of the most representative and entertaining 2D episodes of the entire saga. Let's hope that Konami will soon put in the hands of M2 the chapters for Nintendo DS.

A sequel that first of all thinks about smoothing out the previous imperfections, before offering a series of very well implemented innovations overall.

Bayonetta is one of the best stylish action game ever, probably the best one. It's good to play it again on Nintendo Switch.

One of the best platform games of the last years presented in an exceptional Nintendo Switch “suit”.

Gears of War is back with a very solid entry in the beloved franchise: the lack of courage and the apparent fear of taking risks prevents Gears of War 4 from entering the absolute elites of the genre, yet with its compelling campaign and the usual, stellar multiplayer, this remains one hell of a ride.

Halo 5: Guardians is one of the most fun shooters of this generation. It has some problems in the single-player, but emerges and petrifies its competitors in multiplayer.

There's no reason for not buying GTA San Andreas: this is a masterpiece that everyone should play, even if touch controls are a little clumsy. Easily the best Rockstar Games port so far.

Field of Glory 2 is for PC wargames what Destiny 2 is for online FPS.

A great addition that makes sense mostly if you plan to play on the go. If you think you'll play Skyrim mostly at home get it for a different platform.

It's the best South Park pinball ever. What else do you need?

Behind the lucha libre galore there's a solid action-game, with polished core mechanics, stunning visuals and a beautiful “old school” feeling. Lacking the perfection and the sense of loneliness of Super Metroid, Gaucamelee! may be too easy for a seasoned gamer. Beside that, it's fun and addictive.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a bet won by Sega. It's hard to propose such a radical change to the game structure, and as games tend to switch turn-based to real-time fighting, it must have been hard to go the other way. Equipped with a strong identity, an unforgettable cast of protagonists and a narrative that strikes straight to the heart, Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a game full of ardor and passion. The new Sega’s game is so rich in content that you can fill up to three games with it and have a more to spare for DLCs. Prepare to lose yourself for over a hundred hours in Yokohama's glossy nights: it’s an experience all JRPG fans - and maybe not just them - should live.

Graphics and options are almost the same, if you're not a Miami Heat fan, but gameplay's been polished to the max. Even if there's little new content, NBA 2K14 can still throw it down like an All-Star.

DiRT Rally 2.0 is a solid improvement for the rally sim made by Codemasters. The physics and the driving model are top notch, even driving with a joypad, while the lack of a couple of locations and the general aging of the Ego Engine limit the game scope.

With Metro Redux, Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light are back on PC with some graphical improvements, all the DLCs so far published and the Survival game mode, which has certainly moved both titles into hardcore gameplay.

Child of Light is as great a game today as it was four years ago, a delicate and stylish gem which shows that even if you produce AAA title with dancers and assassins you still manage to create something ethereal and gentle.

An addictive and snappy game with a lot of charm, worth your time and cash.

Beacon Pines is an adventure that takes shape before the player's eyes, but the gameplay feels so much limited because of the narrative. Despite that, it tries to tell a meaningful arc that overshadows its shortcomings by delivering a coming-of-age story in which it is worth diving.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided doesn’t betray its heritage: it improves on several aspects of the previous chapter in the saga and provides a high quality experience along the whole adventure. However, some of the characters in the game are not as deep as in the previous game, and the underlying menace could be pushed a little more. Overall, one of the best games published in 2016.

Frozen Synapse Prime is like a chess game: it's always up to you win or lose. This one of the finest strategic game on them market, and definitely a must have for PS Vita.

Wargrove is a strategic game made with great passion and considerable knowledge of the subject: a must-have for lovers of the genre, but also an excellent starting point for any newcomers.

Thumper is far more than a simple, stunning rhythm game: it's an astonishing vertigo at crazy speed that messes up with your brain in a kaleidoscope of psychedelic colors and industrial tunes, an unforgettable trip into a sinister and mesmerizing dimension that thanks to PlayStation VR becomes real. Simply put, an instant classic.

Axiom Verge is more than a spiritual successor to Metroid. It’s a tribute to an era, a story whose words are pixels, arranged with maternal care and extraordinary wealth. In addition to being a great video game is also an ode to the past, the cry of a creature never really extinguished, that now more than ever is able to recover from the ashes of the mass market.

BioShock Infinite Burial at Sea - Episode 2 is the perfect ending to a saga that marked a generation and will be long remembered.

A lot of new content for the fans, but we did not fine some adjustments we kind of expected. It's certainly not a "mandatory" buy.
