An excellent return for Samus Aran and the Metroid series. The novelties don't work perfectly, but they are interesting nonetheless.

Graphically beautiful, fun to play, intelligently designed, Crusader Kings III is one of the best entries in the long list of Paradox's grand strategy games.

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.

Doom is the best possible way to play, in 2016, something that was great in 1993. Unmissable.

Hades is a contender for one of the best roguelikes in recent years. The extraordinary magnetism that surrounds him, the desire that instills in the player to try relentlessly, maybe even just to read the umpteenth sarcastic comment of the deity on duty, are very valuable features. Supergiant Games' tricks in outlining every little detail of his creature are children of a true and palpable passion. Rare merchandise these days, which no player should miss.

A great conclusion to the Blackwell series, Epiphany delivers a poignant ending, the usually strong investigative and spooky gameplay and at least one breathlessly emotional "ghost story". Be aware, though, that having played the previous games is strongly suggested.

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

A new, great episode for this great series. At first you will feel the downside in terms of graphics, but that's the only "issue" with this version of Smash Bros.

A demanding and incredibly deep game that lives up to the expectations. If you're into old school RPGs, you cannot miss it.

Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4 today is as beautiful as it was on Xbox One 12 months ago. Plus, the 20 Year Celebration Edition has plenty of contents to explore and play.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt isn’t perfect (yet?), but it’s one of the best written RPGs ever.

While not reinventing the genre, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 stands out as one of its most valuable exponents-a truly remarkable game.

The definitive console edition of Diablo 3, with a wonderfully reimagined end game: you cannot miss it.

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.

Finding Paradise is simply a narrative masterpiece that knows how to discuss important topics like the search of happiness. A significant maturity growth in Kan Gao's writing.

Attila builds on the legacy of Rome II and delivers a great combination of deep strategic experience and epic atmosphere.

Resident Evil VII is a panic-inducing game and one hell of a survival horror. It successfully goes back to the roots of the series and while it could last longer, is a thrill-ride you don't want to miss.

Beyond Earth is Civilization V with a new souls. It delivers a bright, perhaps too optimistic view of the future, but its great design will set the goalpost for 4X in the years to come.

Astral Chain is something special that only Platinum Games could develop: a game both satisfying and tough.

Prey means deep space and deep gameplay. A huge space station hides thousands of game mechanics and dynamics ready to be explored by the solitary player. Its warfare is not infinite nor predestined, but makes up part of a bigger picture, a bigger game, where gameplay means much more than gunplay.

This is probably the best remaster version of an old game so far, that brings one of the most controversial Final Fantasy titles in the modern times. And it still rocks.

A wonderful expansion. Croteam had the courage to release a game meant for people who actually finished the first game. A brilliant extra campaign, without compromise.

A sequel that every true South Park fan should play.

Difficult and beautiful.

Soul Sacrifice is a truly excellent game, very playable and accurate in every detail. It inherits from its genre some degree of repetitiveness at times, it is a little slow at the start, but keep playing it to unveil one of the best experiences you can live... not only on a PS Vita.

Technically wonderful, rich in content and playable on multiple levels of depth, Guilty Gear XRD Rev 2 is again able to compete with the most prominent competitors of the genre.

An incredible "best of" Monster Hunter, with a huge amount of content, new styles to keep veterans happy and a few nods to everyone who wants to get into the Monster Hunter party.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 doesn't disappoint: endowed with a massive longevity, characterized by a living and fascinating world and blessed by a fabulous narration, the game is an unmissable JRPG. Despite some technical hesitation and certain glitches in the gameplay, it's impossible to remain indifferent to a job of such scale and quality.
