A new incarnation for an old - but smart - idea built around the two screens setup of Nintendo 3DS. It asks a bit too much in terms of unforgiving mechanics, especially considering that the two screens gameplay is pretty demanding by itself, but if you like a challenge.

Thieves in Time slyly manages to broaden the horizons of its traditional platform gameplay adding lots and lots of mini-games, which become proper missions featuring a high number of different game mechanics, all (too) easy to play with and enjoy. More quantity than quality, though.

While Suikoden II and IV remain on another level, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes takes the formula of these classics to some extent and repurposes it in a JRPG that is certainly interesting but perhaps not as beautiful and accomplished as we would have hoped.

The Devil in Me still fails to make the big leap among the greatest champions of the genre, but as a narrative adventure with a horror background it works well.

The overly boisterous tone of the narration might unsettle purists, but overall, the "Yakuza formula" of this spin-off works quite well.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a flawed but fascinating game. It is unresolved but full of atmosphere. Although lacking in many aspects, it is rich in survival elements that will delight the most hardcore fans. In short, it is a unique game—for better or worse.

After years of steady growth, Visual Concepts-branded wrestling is slowing down. The main new features of the 2025 season are not entirely convincing: the Showcase dedicated to the Bloodline stable does not involve as much as those dedicated to Cena and Mysterio. That's too bad, because Visual Concepts offers the largest roster ever and introduces numerous improvements to the main game modes, perfecting wrestling in the ring even more.

As good as the first episode, the game tries different roads and it goes forward with its mature, bloody, strong and maybe a bit too melodramatic take on procedural crime drama. Don't expect the kind of "choice and consequences" dynamics we experienced in Telltale Games, though.

This version of Stories Untold is not the best - you'll miss the feeling of keyboard typing - but these stories are still worth hearing.

If you didn't play the original 2009 release on PlayStation Network, now you have the chance to redeem yourself. Even if it lasts almost five hours, PixelJunk Shooter is a fun and deep shoot'em up, with a clever twin stick control scheme. Sail aboard the Pinita Colada: you won't regret it.

The game is enjoyable thanks to a very immediate arcade formula and to the good variety of missions in the single player campaign. The competitive multiplayer and co-op are fun, but some may find the overall game experience a little too simplistic and the plot, as well as the soundtrack, does not go beyond a good routine. At this price, however, it's a good deal.

While maintaining all the colorful levels and the clever ideas of the Wii U version, Scribblenauts Unlimited on 3DS is in some way tamed by the absence of both the object editor and the Nintendo characters. Still, it’s a little funny game, with lots to explore and to experiment with.

A good conversion for a great game. It's impossible not to notice all the gameplay and the features brought by the growing mod community on PC, which of course are not supported by this console version.

Engaging and fun to play, Powerstar Golf is a nice sport game for people who are not looking for a rigorous simulation. The value-for-price ratio is quite good.

Warface is a good F2P shooter, with an economic model that does not reward too much real money to win and a fun and deep co-op experience. The same can not be said about the competitive modes,and the originality. However, you can just try it free and if you like co-op MMOFPS, you will find bread for your teeth.

Fans of Marvel's character will enjoy impersonating Tony Stark's metallic alter-ego, thank to well crafted controls and compelling flying action. The game, though, soon becomes repetitive, graphics in the city is not very compelling and the scenes with Tony add little to the experience.

Despite limits that cannot be overcome with simple updates, Godfall: Ultimate Edition is the best possible version of itself in terms of quantity of content and overall quality.

A nice green-flavored assassin fantasy simulator. A shame that it isn't a good introduction to the franchise for new players, and a couple of details ruin what could have been a much better game.

Ultimate NES Remix is a funny take on Nintendo classics that still works its magic, but Nintendo could have been way more generous. This is a not-so-polished compilation that lacks something (e.g. Miiverse support and stamps) compared to the original Wii U games.

A new, polished version of the classic game from the PlayStation 2 era, but nothing more.

Moonscars is a video game that knows what kind of atmosphere it wants to create, how to create it and how to dance on those notes from the first to the last minute of play. The combat system is simple but satisfying and, although it needed more attention from a technical point of view and the story does everything to keep the player away (at least in the first hours), the adventure manages to entertain from start to finish.

Very good graphics, great character design, but LEGO's typical gameplay is becoming a little bit tedious.

Strong in personality, limited in scope, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is an interesting tactical game which could be very tough if played with the highest difficulty settings.

Cannon Brawl is a fun and addictive game, a nice change of pace for the Worms formula. Sadly the online multiplayer is a missed opportunity, but it can be improved. Aside that, you'll get a lot a fun. It goes straight to the point and it works really well.

Hannibal at the Gates is a conservative expansion, but nevertheless a good one. The second punic war is one hell of a conflict to portray in a strategy game, and the new Rome II DLC does that reasonably well.

Age of Wonders III is a bona fide old-school 4X. And it's also pretty good at it, even if sometimes falls in the trap of tedious, unbalanced micromanagement.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past is a classic JRPG with a lot of enjoyable content, but characterized by a slow pace.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game - Complete Edition is certainly an original scrolling fighting game, thanks to the reference imagery. However, games like Battletoads and Streets of Rage 4 have proved that the genre has evolved a lot in the past ten years, while the gameplay built by Ubisoft does not always shine or work at its best.
