Endless Legend is a masterpiece in every conceivable way, save for the AI. If the devs could fix the hole, we would have a serious contender to the crown of the 4X genre.

IO Interactive knows very well that bigger doesn't always mean better and worked to merge wider levels with clever approaches. This is what defines Htiman 2.

This short DLC can be seen as a sum of everything that makes Gears… Gears. The short duration allowed the screenwriters to give shape to a tighter and more cinematic story, all embellished with quite varied scenarios and a graphic impact among the best in circulation. Perhaps there remains a bit of the bitterness of not having seen Hivebusters exploited as a Trojan horse with which to experiment with the introduction of something new in terms of gameplay. But, after all, fans of the Microsoft franchise will be able to enjoy another three unreleased hours in single player or cooperative.

An interesting turn-based fantasy game with nice mechanics and a bit too-long sessions.

Death Stranding is a one of a kind experience that will stick with you for years to come.

Studio Pixel is back to the future, with this addictive action-game. It came from the NES (not from the desert) and its a pixel bonanza. With its “Japanese spirit”, Kero Blaster is a wonderful indie game and you shouldn't miss it.

A great beat-em-up, maybe even to expand, but perfect for adrenaline and complex fights, and great for thoughtless challenges with friends.

An excellent digital version of a very good boardgame. Good for both veterans of the tabletop version (due to new content like the Guildmaster campaign) and newbies willing to try a peculiar fantasy experience (and manage a lot of cards).

A Crooked Mile is the turning point of The Wolf Among Us: plot and interaction merges together with a perfect flow, and the result is an episode that really moves in the direction given by the player. And it also concludes with a jaw dropping cliffhanger.

Mortal Kombat 11 has all it takes to be the new king of fighting games. A must-have for both veterans and new players.

A perfect gift for Spyro's fans. A colorful trio of adventures, right from the 90's. Those who loved Spyro will continue to love it, those who hated it will not change their minds.

Horace is a piece of art: music, story, ideas and design of the robot are gorgeous, even if the gameplay and controls lack of polish and the entire experience is a bit too long. Be ready to shed tears for Horace. It'll be worth it, especially in this Nintendo Switch version.

The Rogue Prince of Persia doesn’t reinvent the roguelite genre, but bends it with style, pace and smart design into a formula that gives fresh identity to a historic franchise.

Little Nightmares 2 is a decisive step forward for Tarsier Studios. The art style is set to a high standard, but the gameplay novelties don’t all work perfectly. It remains a fascinating adventure, a must for anyone who loved the first Little Nightmares.

Price and censorship aside, South Park: The Stick of Truth on Switch is still a great RPG after four years and (perhaps even more than the sequel) the best South Park game we could wish for.

Nintendo has delivered one of the best Mario Party games ever thanks to a truly generous amount of content, and that couple of gimmicks that are perhaps not essential or revolutionary, yet capable of delighting those who prefer single player experiences. If you love party games, Jamboree is a must.

PES keeps getting better: a great experience on the pitch, with improved AI and gorgeous animations.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a stand-alone DLC that slightly slows down the Dishonored 2 gaming formula with convincing and exciting results.

A dive into the past, of course, but which does not bask in simple nostalgia, trying to offer the best of side-scrolling beat'em up genre, not just the Streets of Rage saga. A quarter century later, walking around a city full of thugs has probably never been this fun.

Steamworld Dig is a great game, a tiny masterpiece, with a sublime gameplay which works perfectly, thanks to an intuitive and extremely fluid control system. One of the best for the eShop.

Codemasters steers further in the direction of pure arcade racing by eliminating posh extras such as cockpit views and set-up options, in favor of spectacular visuals and social features. Oversteering and underdeveloped, GRID 2's driving mechanics still remain quite solid and fully enjoyable by anyone.

A game that's clearly the product of passion, talent and dedication, Enter The Gungeon is an exciting twin stick shooter that mixes up elements ranging from The Binding of Isaac, Dark Souls and Ikaruga (among others...). The result is a delightful and sadistic cocktail that the most hardcore gamers will fall in love with, but also one that is definitely not for everyone.

There's just one reason to avoid Dragon's Crown: you hate old-school side scrolling beat'em ups. If you don't, you just can't miss Vanillaware masterpiece, a game built on a solid and deep combat system and George Kamitani's beautiful graphics.

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

Child of Light is a delightful game, graced by stunning visuals and a solid combat system, capable of giving a fresh new touch to the genre. Ubi Montreal's game is creative and entertaining, as well as one of the finest JRPGs for some time now.

The Last Guardian is an incredible journey with an unforgettable friend... plagued by a poor camera and some frustrating moments.

Technobabylon is a really good indie graphic adventure, with a nice sci-fi setting, some smart ideas, deep themes, good writing and interesting puzzles.

Blizzard renews World of Warcraft with a good expansion from several points of view; however who knows what qualitative peaks it could have reached with a pinch of extra creative courage.

Football 26 is a sequel that improves every detail of the previous chapter without distorting its essence; a simulation that is a journey at heart of college football, designed especially for those who love the single-player experience: a bold choice in a world dominated by multiplayer. Deeper than Madden, more exciting, and above all, more authentic.

The Ultimate Edition of the real driving simulation for console now offers 178 cars and 33 tracks on 16 circuits... but still no shortcuts for arcade drivers and casual players.

Don't Starve Mega Pack presents one of the most fascinating and punitive indie titles of the last years in a complete edition at an advantageous price. What more do you want?

A nice and short first person puzzle game which provides nice puzzles and inspiring visuals while not managing to fulfill the excellent premise of its setting.

If you can get past the first hurdles and go beyond the initial disorientation, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter proves to be a very good and atipic adventure full of charm, mystery and exploration.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has everything you would expect from a perfect DLC. It's different from the main game for atmosphere, settings and game world, it is durable, the price is fully justified and gameplay doesn't betray the original Far Cry 3 model.

Turning to open-world without sacrificing its identity: Metro Exodus is a successful odyssey by 4A Games.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds' strenghts are in its distinctly arcade feel and sense of speed, it's an incredibly fun kart game with a strong personality that clearly sets it apart from the competition. If you're looking for a kart game and don't own a Nintendo console, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is the answer, but it's also a solid alternative for everyone else, with cross-play undoubtedly adding value to the package, along with the extensive post-launch support already announced.

Blokshot Revolution tries to add something new to shooter genre and develop all game around its peculiar mechanic. And it delivers.

This sequel is very similar to the first chapter in terms of feel and structure, but that does not mean that it is not a valid and better game: those who have enjoyed the first will surely love Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin.+

A good improvement over the first Vermintide and overall a very engaging multiplayer experience.

Sword of the Sea’s journey is not as unforgettable and moving as that of Journey, but it still leaves a mark.

A wide selection of classic boardgames and clubhouse games framed in a very nice package.

Despite the microtransactions, the new masterpiece of Visual Concepts rules on and off the court. NBA 2K19 is full of features and details and it’s one of the best basketball sims, ever.

Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited doesn't innovate much, but it's still one of the best chapters in the series and a perfect fit for the PS Vita. Strongly recommended.

Resident Evil HD Remaster is a fairly useless purchase for those who already perfectly know the 2002 GameCube version. However this is still a great game, even though after 13 years it was perhaps better to update it a bit 'more apart for graphics and sound.

An interesting almost-idle game with a pair of nice twists in a 16 bit dress. If it catches on you it may turn into a huge time-waster.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a more than decent return for BioWare's fantasy series, thanks mainly to a compelling storyline and a good combat system. However, the graphic compartment, the lack of RPG depth, and very repetitive gameplay gimmicks contribute to lowering the final rating.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist combines elements of the last episode with the series' original features, and a tough as nails Sam Fisher. The end result is not perfect, but good enough for longtime fans.

Despite its simple gameplay, Citizen Sleeper still captivates players thanks to its intriguing cyberpunk story and its rich and detailed setting, full of history, personality and charm.

Tekken 7 is one of the best games in the series gameplay-wise, but it's a little short in terms of single-player modes.

Metro: Last Light is probably the most ambitious and demanding Deep Silver production and, in terms of graphics and visual impact, this sequel has little to envy in other triple A shooters like Crysis 3. The game stands for the beauty of the 4A Engine, for the settings and for some cool horror passages, but in terms of gameplay lacks in too many areas: enemies' AI is poor, the levels are linear and scripted, there's almost no interaction with the game world.

You can't go wrong with Lethal League, a perfect mix of baseball and dodge-ball. Everything in the game is almost perfect, starting from its netcode, powered by GGPO middleware. You'll get tons of fun, with this addictive arcade style game. Windjammers' spirit is alive and kickin'!

Wandersong is an unforgettable adventure and one of the most interesting indie game of this year. Bow down to the little bard.

Unity truly makes strength, and the collaboration between Team Ninja and PlatinumGames hits the mark. Despite a few minor flaws, Ninja Gaiden 4 stays true to the spirit of the series, enriching it with new mechanics that clearly bear the signature of the Bayonetta team. The result is a spectacular, technical, and varied combat system that delivers immense satisfaction once fully mastered.

There's no added benefit to the PS4 version. It's just the same game with the same tables we've come to adore on PS3, but that doesn't stop it from being a very good game.

Burnout Paradise Remaster bring back Paradise City to the current gen with improved graphic. Even with ten years on his back the game is fresh like ten years ago.

The biggest LEGO videogame ever made dips the players in a cohesive Star Wars experience. In terms of gameplay, innovations are not to be expected, as the LEGO formula is well established and it's still working. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is easy to pick, fun to play alone or along with a friend/kid and a mandatory experience for any Star Wars and LEGO fan.

Severed is an interesting mix between the exploration of classic dungeon crawlers like Dungeon Master and a combat system inspired by recent mobile games like Fruit Ninja and Infinity Blade. A good way to add more value to your PS Vita. The game is maybe just a bit too hard.

Marathon gets better the more you play, but in today’s gaming landscape, it’s fair to ask how many players are willing to invest many hours before the real fun begins. The foundations are solid: the artistic vision is striking, and the gunplay is satisfying. Yet, many of Bungie’s new shooter’s mechanics seem almost designed to push players away rather than draw them in. A confusing interface, overly convoluted weapon and item design, a low TTK paired with punishing PvE, and progression systems that only balance out after unlocking most skill trees create significant early hurdles. And even when everything finally starts falling into place, some design choices remain puzzling, including the mandatory quarterly wipe, which currently raises more questions than answers. When it all comes together, Marathon is undeniably fun, but at this stage, the game still needs quite a few key tweaks to fully realize its potential.

A great graphical adventure, modern and old school at the same time, beautifully written and with such incredible style and personality. But if you're looking for high difficulty puzzles, look elsewhere.

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.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel is a tactical Jrpg with extraordinary emotional power, capable of telling the story of war in a unique and charming scenario.

A little big game with a pounding heart, Star Drift Evolution brings a great old-school racing experience with a lot of contents, even if the presentation lacks of style. It really shines on Time Trial and multiplayer, while it offers a more shallow experience in Career Mode, but if you crave to achieve the best lap records, that's your game.

An exciting, tragic and narratively impactful journey that deals with its themes in a bold and never sloppy way.

Virtual reality is not new to the world of Among Us, but this official VR version still makes a good impression, even if at the moment it is a bit stingy with contents.

Wreckfest maintains all its promises we expected in all these years of development: destruction, a very accurate physical model and a lot of fun.

A Plague Tale: Innocence does not show the side to any blow, allowing itself to be pointed out for a couple of minor defects, unable to affect the final result.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is a great DLC thanks to an excellent longevity and a good amount of additions, although I would have expected more from the exploration of the new map.

This game should be used as a training tool for politicians worldwide. A harsh, uncompromising simulation of global socioeconomic power struggle.

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.

Dragon Quest Builders remains, even on Switch, a solid and fun experience for action-RPG lovers as well as for Minecraft fans.

A challenging and clever puzzle game with a lot of physics in it. Maybe too short, but really well-crafted.

Not to be confused with a re-branded Mortal Kombat, Injustice: Gods Among Us is a very good beat'em up able to both honour the original characters and provide a solid and deep fighting engine. A large roster of fighters (24) and a good multiplayer support are the other highlights of this fine effort by NetherRealm Studios.

Frenetic and easy to pick-up, yet quite deep, Nidhogg is lacking in contents and quality of the net code. A game which fits very well in offline multiplayer sessions with friends.

You can discuss graphics improvements, mods, DLCs and many other things forever. The truth is this: Skyrim is still one of the best RPGs available today.

It's Torment. It's back. If you have the courage and strength to face the mental pressure, as I do, the result is a memorable experience.

Star Wars Pinball VR doesn't offer many tables and we would have expected more interactivity, but any fan of the saga shouldn't miss it.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is a deep, fascinating game, however, which precedes the narrative component to the gameplay: the important thing is to know what you are buying.

GRIME is an excellent soulslike metroidvania. Starting from a solid and consistent base layer that takes heavy inspiration from Dark Souls and Hollow Knight, it brings to the table its own ideas and concepts in order to offer an experience with its own rich personality. Inspired bosses, especially in the second half, and an excellent gameplay complete the package. Highly recommended.

In Disgaea 5 Complete you'll have a mountain of things to do. It has deep gameplay mechanics but it could be better balanced.

Danganronpa V3 is more than a simple visual novel. It's a game that superbly outlined microcosm artfully prepared by the developers; the third episode of a mature and fascinating series, Able to dealing with strong themes and a great sense of irony. A small pearl that should push you to look prequel and play the whole saga.

Perhaps it doesn't reach the heights of Dragonfall in the writing department, but this is still a wonderful walk in the Sixth World.

Planet Robobot is the same old, funny and colorful Kirby game. Enjoyable, full of extra modes and a bit on the predictable side.

A thirty years old JRPG that manages to appear younger and have fresher ideas of many contemporary games. A true gem that would be a shame not to play.

The years have been kind to Superstar Saga, giving us a remarkable remake.

Despite its attempts at innovation, Assassin's Creed Shadows ultimately feels quite familiar in too many ways. The story, while somewhat fragmented, remains enjoyable for most of its duration, thanks to the well-developed protagonists and a good supporting cast. The gameplay introduces some interesting ideas, but the repetitive nature of certain tasks and the outdated AI prevent the new mechanics from reaching their full potential. Nonetheless, players who are drawn to the Japanese setting and fans of the typical Ubisoft's open-world adventures will probably enjoy the game without too many compromises.

In Harm’s Way is the amazing turning point for the second season of Telltale Game's The Walking Dead.

Football Manager 2016 is the cornerstone of a new era. The game we already know gets many little improvements, and Create-A-Club and online Fantasy Draft modes, despite some restrictions, are a precious and welcome additions (and addictions) to the game.

The new Tearaway is even bigger, more exciting exciting and challenging than ever. Ignoring it would be a great shame, and belittling it a huge mistake.

Too fast, too furious: Trackmania Turbo is the same old Trackmania, with its hard challenges and some new multiplayer modes. Sometimes it tries too hard to punish the player... and it succeeds!

The score is given on trust, because at the moment you might not get into an online match even after several attempts, not to mention other bugs and graphic glitches. An upcoming patch should resolve most of the problems, but right now the bugs are still there and the single player is really weak. Multiplayer, instead, is the usual blast and the new modes, new maps and 64 players in Conquest mode are simply great.

Who was expecting such a big Wolfenstein return four years after the previous title? Not many, but MachineGames has developed a very good shooter with mixed gameplay (shoot&stealth), an interesting plot and great characters.

Please do yourself a favor and buy Downwell now, on PC or on iOs, wherever it suits you. This masterpiece has a thing that most of modern AAA games lack: pure fun. A wonderful shoot'em up and a love letter to the genre.

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.

WWE 2K24 is an accessible wrestling video game with an even more complete combat system, a wealth of things to do, people to beat up, and the best of WrestleMania history.

Alien: Isolation is scary and mixes shooting, stealth and exploration in a unique way. A dream finally come true for any Alien fan in terms of settings and details, although it lasts too long and it's very repetitive.

A splendidly surreal experience, with astounding narrative and visual strength that can leave you repeatedly breathless in front of the screen even if it only lasts a couple of ours, tops. You don't very often see this quality of writing in videogames and you should not miss it, unless you hate these kinds of story focused experiences.
