Shovel Knight feels and plays alright, but it's far from perfection. It's an ode to Mega Man, a bow to the 8 bit era, but it plays it safe, too safe. Infinite lives and a too many checkpoints are the major flaws. And, from the technical point of view, the lack of colors sometimes is really sad.

It’s not gonna trouble the most complex and tactical JRPG’s fans, but Shining Resonance Refrain deserves to be played and enjoyed.

An excellent horror/thriller story that could have benefited from a more brave and focused gameplay system.

Focusing on the urge to survive into the emptiness of darkness, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs truly understands the meaning of fear. Even if it lasts only four hours, you'll get everything you want and need, from a rich, tasteful and clever horror story.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is pretty basic but funny, especially with the right people to play with: if you enjoyed previous games in the series, you won’t be dissatisfied with this one.

No More Heroes 3 is rough, imperfect, sometimes even unpolished, but also artistically insane and spirited and has great gameplay.

Episode Aigis, the new DLC for Persona 3 Reload, offers a faithful recreation of The Answer from Persona 3 FES. While it explores profound themes like grief and trauma, its gameplay focuses heavily on combat, omitting many life-simulation elements that made the original game beloved. Although improved combat mechanics and character growth are satisfying, the repetitive procedural dungeons detract from the overall experience. However, the narrative depth, emotional closure, and connection to Persona 3 Reload make this content essential for fans who completed the main story despite its narrow focus and steep price point.

Mario Golf: Speed Rush combines the well-known Camelot’s pick on Golf (with some substantial changes in the swing) with new gameplay opportunities. In terms of contents, though, it’s not very convincing at this time, with just five real courses and easily forgettable modes.

Floodland is an intriguing city-builder that manages to be intuitive and also quite complex in its game systems, but sadly it's also filled with many technical hiccups that can slow down (and potentially halt) your progress. The foundation is solid and there is a good game beneath it all, but the game will probably need a couple of patches to really shine.

Broken toys is to remember especially for two beautiful central sections and for the tumultuous ending, but in the end it remains the "same" Walking Dead episode as ever.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is frankly a weird game, one that's not so easy to crack: excessively built around an eventually underwhelming concept, you'll never truly hate it, but you won't either love as much as you'd like to.

Bottom line, Ancient Space is a fun game. Not a masterpiece, not even a memorable game, but nonetheless fun, balanced and well-crafted.

A smart and solid game, with a lack of levels that will probably be filled by the community shared creations.

Revelations 2 is a low-budget and accordingly priced game that does nothing really new, but it proves to be an enjoyable and classic styled entry in the series.

Get Even uses the FPS formula to deliver a touching and deep story. Despite some technical failings, the narrative and the sound make the trip worth taking.

One Piece: Burning Blood is far from perfection, especially if you are a fighting games lover. Much better if you like Rufy and company. In this case, you will find one of the best representation of One Piece’s characters in a videogame.

A multiplayer tactical shooter with a lot of potential but still a bit 'sour to be enjoyed in every way. Some honest advice? Play it only with trusted friends.

The adorable duo Lana and Mui embark on a new adventure filled with danger and puzzles. Too bad the latter become a little too repetitive in the end.

Although the first few hours of gameplay were fun, Mario & Luigi: Brothership was a slightly disappointing experience. Despite good art direction and many exciting mechanics, especially the combat system, the gameplay seemed too repetitive and not up to the standards of other recent RPGs.

The Centennial Case A Shijima Story is a well-written and acted investigative game; with undoubted charm, but with not always optimal pacing management.

Too similar to the first chapter, Bravely Second: End Layer has a bland story and a cast of characters that is not exactly charismatic. It convinces only thanks to the proven combat system and the ability skill management. You could expect a lot more.

The Sims 4 comes on home consoles with all the goods and all the drawbacks of the PC version.

There’s something good and engaging in this arcade game, but it’s buried under tons of ads and pop-up.

There have been quite a few boomer shooters in these last few years and to be honest, Dread Templar is not the best of them, falling just a tiny bit short of the likes of Dusk, Amid Evil or Prodeus, but it's still funny and entertaining, especially if you're looking for a classic FPS experience.

If you enjoyed Tiny Space Adventure then there’s no reason why you can't appreciate Tiny Prehistoric Adventure and its nice way to deal with graphical adventures and trial ad error mechanics.

Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden is a boardgame videogame with JRPG elements and a fascinating, touching story, featuring a multifaceted and enjoyable cast of characters. Keiichi Okabe's artistic direction and compositions are as always noteworthy, something that encourages to explore the game world by indulging in his symphonies. Net of this, however, there are few changes on the playful side, despite the fact that the game difficulty has been slightly raised compared to the predecessor without proposing something too demanding. Longevity is certainly a point in its favor, even if the side activities aren't as engaging as the rest of the main story is.

Keeping its head in the clouds and its feet on the ground, Gaijin is able to capture the excitement of skydiving and delivers a solid game. Even when you'll complete everything the game has to offer, you'll come back on regular basis just to feel the pleasure of flight.

Despite some uncertainties in balancing investigation and life-sim elements and the excessive backtracking, On Your Tail offers a captivating setting, a wealth of secondary activities, and uncommon longevity.
