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.

A great example of interactive fiction, beautifully written, with interesting themes and some pretty evocative graphics.

Dragon's Dogma II is both a blessing and a curse for fans of the genre and the series itself. A game that, even more, reflects Hideaki Itsuno's desire to keep players from breathing space or advantages.

A refined, fun and surprising spin-off that you don’t have to miss.

An excellent and amusing more of the same that will cheer you with hours of vegetable bullets, a bit of strategy, a superb gunplay and a lot of smiles.

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.

Batman: Arkham Shadow is a great VR experience for Batman fans, featuring engaging gameplay and a well-crafted story. Despite bugs and frame-rate drops, it remains a must-have title on Meta Quest 3.

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.

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.

A revision that's more of an excellent work of preservation, aimed at maintaining all the quality of the original and filing away only the roughest edges.

A great co-op platform game that requires some strong platforming skill but is largely based on terrific puzzles. Artistic direction is great and challenge is very high (especially if you're aiming at 100% completion). There are some minor issues, mechanics are pretty simple and there basically is no single player, but it's still a great game.

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is a smart, fascinating puzzle game. A must have for Switch and 3DS owners.

Square Enix did it. They took a mediocre game called Final Fantasy XIV and turned in a fun MMO with a stunning character's progression system that cuddle the player far beyond the level cap. Eorzea is a vibrant and vivid world in which is way too easy get lost, and for this we have to thanks Yoshida and his team, that gave to use a game that is both modern and linked to a glorious past.

There’s something brilliant in Flop Rocket’s control scheme, something that makes this arcade easy to learn but hard to master, and definitely worthy of your time.

Even if the exploration has been slightly dumbed down, Samus Returns is a great and engrossing game.

A simple, but quite hard 2D game, deep as the cave the player has to explore. Spelunky is not for every one, and can be frustrating at times, but has a lot to give and rewards the player for his efforts.

A deep and immersive narrative experience with a gameplay that shortly falls into a repetitive loop.

Toad finally became the star of its own game. Captain Tracker is a joyful, smart and witty puzzle game that is really hard to put down.

Ultimately, we are faced with a solid, polished and ambitious musou, capable of speaking to both Zelda fans and fans of real-time strategy action.

Ys X: Proud Nordics is the definitive way to experience Adol and Karja's maritime adventure. The massive quality-of-life improvements to ship navigation and the rock-solid performance on current hardware elevate the already excellent Cross Action System to new heights. While a slow opening and a somewhat grind-heavy rune progression system keep it from sheer perfection, the thrilling combat, phenomenal soundtrack, and stellar character dynamics make it a must-play action RPG. A truly epic voyage that respects the legacy of the franchise.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is a narrative-engaged RPG with a familiar and well-structured DNA. A few flaws here and there don't undermine its solid foundations.

The original three Phoenix Wright finally in HD, with a good remaster ready to be played by both old and new gamers.

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.

EA Sports College Football 25 is simply one of the finest interpretations of American football since NFL 2K5. Dynasty mode is great, Road to Glory has untapped potential while CUT has all the pros and cons of EA's Ultimate Teams. It's been years since I've played such a beautiful, engaging and well-curated simulation.

Stormland lacks a little in variety, but virtual reality is exploited to the full and the persistent nature of the game is intriguing to say the least. After Asgard's Wrath, another great VR game.

Like an old time shoot ‘em up but without the shooting mechanics: Helix is an amazing arcade game in which you just have to circle your enemies in order to kill them. And this is surprisingly fun.

This is probably the best leap ‘em up on App Store, and this thanks to fast its paced action and accurate controls. Jump all over the level taking risks in order to increase the score has never been so little frustrating.

A fascinating two-faced videogame, a bit puzzler and a bit platformer, based on excellent level design, enchanting sound design and lovely pixelart.

A clever, fascinating exploration game based on puzzle solving. It's brief and it doesn't offer any replay value, but it's also different from every other game around.

Dual Destinies is an excellent chapter in the series. The gameplay is the same that we learned to love, but it's a little more varied and refined. The cast sees a lot of new characters: the fans might miss some of the classics, but the narrative quality is top notch.

Maneater plays it safe. It chooses simple mechanics and proposes them in a ten and more hours loop, but in doing so, however, it makes the right choice, because Maneater is a well crafted and fun title. Those who are not afraid to do the same thing over and over again to become the lord of the oceans will find flesh for their teeth.

Firewall Zero Hour is the small equivalent of Rainbow Six Siege played in virtual reality. A big difference, especially with an Aim Controller in your hands.

The Following is extensive, exciting, lasts 20-25 hours and adds to the main game many new elements, while losing something (parkour) with the addition of vehicle and not excelling in AI enemy of humans.

If the game still remains the little gem of seven years ago, this new PC version has not proven to be equally impeccable.

Absolum combines the immediacy of beat 'em ups with the depth of roguelites, and does it surprisingly well.

WildStar is one of the brightest and well crafted MMORPG came out in the last few years, and probably the most complete in terms of features and contents. There are a lot of stuff to do, monsters to kill and houses to build, for both casual and hardcore players.

Mario Kart World is the most ambitious entry in the series so far, introducing fresh ideas like the standout Survival mode alongside its familiar, enjoyable gameplay. The concept of an interconnected world is a bold move that opens up new exploration opportunities, although the open world itself feels somewhat empty and some features seem a bit undercooked. Despite these flaws, the game delivers a solid and engaging experience that can provide countless hours of fun, especially with friends. It’s not quite the ultimate Mario Kart yet, but it’s a significant step in that direction.

Tri Force Heroes is a clever and extremely funny multiplayer game for a local bunch of heroes wannabe. It's a shame that its online mode lacks the voice chat. Also: the single player campaign can be really boring at times.

Fuga: Memories of Steel 2 picks up the reins of the previous chapter without making any particular changes to its structure. Cyberconnect2's video game remains a fascinating and emotionally challenging work, recommended for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in a role-playing game with melodramatic and committed tones. It is a pity that such singular works go entirely unnoticed in the generalist market, especially when one thinks that with higher production values, they could establish themselves as true must-haves.

Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a wonderful single-player horror experience that any horror fan would enjoy, especially those out there mourning the lack of “real” survival horror games.

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.

An excellent RTS with great online challenges, co-op, war scenarios and a long-lived and extremely varied single campaign. Maybe Relic didn't insert many changes from the first episode, but the game structure works perfectly and strategic depth, both in single as in online challenges, will not disappoint fans of the genre.

MTG Arena is the best possible transposition of the historic card game. It's free (initially, at least) and it's wonderful, there's no reason to not try it. With its unique style, complicated and rewarding, it will charm any TCG lover.

One tap, a lot of enemies and an engaging combat/movement system. Spooklands is a fine game that manage to entertain with one simple mechanic perfectly executed.

Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven is a remarkable remake that masterfully updates the classic while retaining its core essence. Square Enix successfully revitalizes the complex mechanics that defined the original, making them more accessible for newcomers. The free-form gameplay offers players the freedom to explore the expansive empire of Avalon, while the intricate combat system rewards strategic thinking. Although some aspects, like character development, feel lacking, the engaging narrative and enhanced visuals deliver an immersive experience. This title strikes a perfect balance between nostalgia and modern gaming, making it an excellent entry point for both veterans and new players alike.

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.

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

Code Vein is an anime soulslike with a huge focus on character build and an endearing story that could relate to the God Eater series.

Thanks to a radical change of atmosphere and to a general revamp of the game mechanics, Tales of Xillia 2 is a very good JRPG, much better than what the limited scope of the production would suggest.

Conscript is a harrowing, immersive survival horror that boldly explores the brutality of WWI. Despite some balance quirks, its oppressive atmosphere, tense gameplay and thematic depth make it a must-play for fans of the genre seeking a challenging, thought-provoking experience.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is an excellent debut. Even if the story ends a bit in the background, the beauty of the world, the animations and the combat system make the adventure of Kena and his friends Rot's truly memorable.

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.

An ambitious adventure set in a visually stunning world that tries to do a bit too much, ultimately feeling underdeveloped in some respects.

Telltale Games' take on werewolves, talking toads and fable's character is fantastic. The Wolf Among Us starts with a story driven episode who shows interesting characters, enjoying quick time events and an amazing art direction.

If you like platform games and simple stealth mechanics, Sly Trilogy is the portable collection for you.

Heart of the Swarm is not a revolution in the genre, but is what each StarCraft fan was expecting. It is an awesome RTS powered by amazing RPG elements, and its gameplay is able to bring the gamer’s mood to the next level, by unleashing some terrific cutscenes that drive the plot till the end.

A successful "remaster" operation of one of the best puzzle games of the last decade, now with enhanced graphics, added content and a level editor.

Monster Train 2 can end your social life in an instant because it is so fun, challenging and addictive. The many new features may not be particularly innovative, but they still manage to make this sequel a must-have roguelike deckbuilder for any fan of the genre.

A proper sequel to the original Desperados, and a tried-and-true tactical puzzle from Mimimi, the new masters of the genre.

A great second episode, able of improving Exordium in all its aspects. If Camouflaj will be able to create engaging puzzles then the future of Republique will be brighter.

Armello is a beautifully crafted strategic videogame inspired by old school board games you can usually play with friends around a table in the same room. Grab a pad and test yourself and your friends online at the game of the Lion's throne or challenge the CPU to crown the new king of Armello.

Bravely Default is a role-playing game that tries to match the old school with new ideas, giving the player a good combat system, a mature story, but also a lackluster exploration. Mission accomplished.

The definitive Borderlands: bigger, bolder, and badder than ever, it revamps the franchise, making it more modern, dynamic, and playful. It's a shame about the optimization.

Diablo III is the best journey Blizzard has ever made in the world of console gaming. The control system is perfect and the flavour of slaying monsters on your sofa, with a joypad in your hands, is sometimes better than the one you feel with your PC. Graphics, though, remain better on a good computer.

Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition isn't the best option to show your friends the power of your new PlayStation 4, but it's still a great fighting game, with a lot of rich and challenging single player options, and one of the best game involving DC Comics super heroes.

A love letters to antigrav fans everywhere. I miss the option of sending a missile to the rear end of other ships, but the driving is pure poetry.

Funny, colourful, hard enough, full of things to do and with an inspired level design. Bears in Space is no ordinary FPS, and if you enjoyed High on Life's approach to the genre, this first effort from Broadside Games will leave you with a perpetual smile on your face.

Under a cover of GTA free roam mechanics you can find a Wii U exclusive that tries its best to realize children’s dreams of a whole LEGO City to play with, guided by a lovely main story which slowly builds up all its hilarious parody lines and gameplay pieces. Some fits still need work, but the construction seems already quite solid.

If you explore, collect everything and complete all the quests, Crysis 3 turns out to be a rewarding and sufficiently long-lived shooter... and the visuals are simply astonishing. Do not expect, however, a big step forward compared to its predecessor: for that, perhaps, we will have to wait for Crysis 4.

What Remains of Edith Finch is a masterful piece of storytelling: well told, heartbeaking, and its variety of styles compensates for the lack of interactivity.

A clever puzzle game, graced by an amazing visual style and the correct amount of craziness.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number goes straight to the point: it's brutal, addictive and raw. You'll be soaked in blood, even in guts, and you're gonna enjoy it. A wonderful shoot'em up, with some flaws.

Most Wanted... and needed, to finally prove what Wii U can do by flexing its graphical muscles and capitalizing on its GamePad screen. An adrenalinic arcade racer by Criterion that shows the right criteria for developing Wii U ports in future.

Turn-based tactical combat, skills, spells and upgrades, thick and well-written dialogues, great cyberpunk atmosphere, good longevity and a powerful level and campaign editor.

Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is a very good expansion to the core game, with a new region to explore, new quests, new activities and a new level cap to reach for Aloy.

Starting with a video game released in 2004 and intended for the handheld market, Nintendo has done an excellent job, producing an intriguing and incredibly rich remake that provides hours of entertainment.

Defector, although not without its flaws, is an action-shooter that takes advantage of VR very well and inserts narrative cues that should not be underestimated.

With a huge amount of contents, full of extraordinary worlds to explore and properly repolished, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix is a great collection. A masterpiece for fans.

Blood Alloy: Reborn feels like a missed opportunity: the game tries to melt Vanquish's speed with Luftrausers' high score madness, but it lacks of polish, content and gets boring quickly. Kudos to its soundtrack, very addictive.

A masterful entry in the horror RPG genre. The extremely high difficulty is a challenge worth of any gamer's time. An over reliance on random details and a story a bit too nebulous are the only real problems.

Last Epoch is a great ARPG and while it’s still a bit rough in certain areas and with some roughness to be smoothed out in the various game systems and subsystems, it combines admirably the immediacy of Diablo IV and the depth of Path of Exile.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners ensures a very physical and anxiety-provoking VR experience, as well as long-lasting and demanding one. There's not much motion sickness, but inventory management will give you many headaches.

An excellent game on the trails of Harvest Moon and Rune Factory, My Time at Portia is a charming and well developed experience.

A great game and a great production, probably a whole new standard for the genre on mobile devices. I would rather to see a more mature plot, but nevertheless Modern Combat 5 is loud and fun, and should be enough for fans.

Kona is a well-crafted experience thanks to a good history accompanied to a simple but effective gameplay.

A little big game full of charm and personality: smart, funny and deeply original, Stick It To The Man is definitely worth your time and money. Or at least that's what the minuscule alien in my brain is telling me.

An excellent mix between an action-RPG and a shooter, wonderfully developed into one of this year's best indie games.

Payday 2 is currently the best co-op experience of the year and a great sequel too. However, if you plan to play it just offline, you'll be disappointed.

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.

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

Yoshi's Crafted World is a funny, clever platform game that you don't want to miss.

Like the first one, just a bit better: more units, more enemies, new tactical situations. Choices and consequences are soul-crushing as ever, but it's all part of the fun.

It's not a hardcore simulator, but it's close enough. Project CARS is a very good game to drive.

An episodically released adventure, both masterfully written and expertly performed, proving there is still ample space and potential for the genre's renaissance.

Bayonetta 2 is a beautiful sequel to one of the best stylish action game ever. If you haven't played it already, don't miss it on Nintendo Switch.

Ape Out is a pure adrenaline rush. A joy to play, to watch and to listen to, where game, graphics and sound design work to bring together a true synesthetic experience.

A good graphic adventure with some balancing issues and a disappointing second half in terms of narration.

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.
