Earth Defense Force 2025 is a mediocre game, especially from a technical point of view, but it can offer some moderate fun if you're into destroying cities and exterminating giant insects.

AO Tennis 2 is a good sports videogame that, despite a low budget, is really fun to play and includes a few, interesting features never seen before.

A quick game that will delight the fanbase and nothing more.

Quite simplistic and a little bit boring, Foul Play is a second-choice in comparison to Castle Crashers and Scott Pilgrim VS The World. Its nice setting and peculiar visual style may be enough reasons for giving it a try, yet do not expect an outstanding brawler. Also, not supporting four players is a very bad choice.

Hey! Pikmin is a different, funny, clever and heartwarming Pikmin game.

A narrative adventure that succeeds in a truly remarkable feat: inserting good and not repetitive environmental puzzles into the adventure while keeping the experience simple and approachable. A simple but solid game, not too long and not too short, that only fails in not being able to best tell its story. SCARF remains a product that will make you spend 4-5 pleasant hours, and it's enough.

LEGO Bricktales is a game with a double personality: fun and inspired on one side, problematic and badly optimized on the other. But despite the obvious flaws it still manages to entertain thanks to its mix of brick-based constructions and puzzles.

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.

Without any doubt, this is the best Farming Simulator ever. It's not perfect, but adds a few key elements to improve the unique experience.

Wargaming takes off and moves war's focus behind the clouds, without making any mistakes in the process. World of Warplanes is a great game: it stands tall and can sit beside its bigger brother, World of Tanks, with pride and honor. It can be difficult sometimes, but it's always rewarding.

SEGA tried to give a fresh spin to the classic multievent Olympics game and mostly did. The mix of arcade vibes and quite unusual choices in terms of disciplines works well and the game is fun, but its structure is pretty lacklustre and multiplayer is too much limited to shine properly.

A competent variant on the classic "hidden objects" theme, with excellent artwork and interesting plot.

AC Chronicles: China is a funny and smart game that capitalizes on what made Assassin's Creed so successful.

Madden NFL 23 is not the definitive football experience, but it is a substantial step up from the last edition thanks to the new gameplay features implemented by FieldSENSE. The general improvements are noticeable but not so revolutionary, while the graphical imperfections and the problems with the artificial intelligence continue to represent the Achilles heel of the franchise.

A beautiful, smart, mature and emotionally deep experiment in interactive narration. If you’re looking for “traditional” gameplay, though, stay as far as possible from it.

Suffer the Children is an episode of discreet quality, which even without touching particularly high peaks can assert itself for some successful action sequences.

Onee Chanbara Origin is a remaster that goes straight to the point, offering frenetic, bloodthirsty gameplay and a punctual and truly entertaining combat system. The technical side is sadly stuck at the origins of the saga, especially the scenarios, which seem to have really come out of a ten-year-old console. The characters, fortunately, have undergone a remarkable restiling and the protagonists show a full-bodied cel-shading and excellent animations, able to give back a sense of majestic violence. Probably the entry price (49 €) is a bit too high for a shamelessly budget product and the incessant action could saturate the souls of those who do not adore the genre in the long run. Considering this, Onee Chanbara Origin gives the videogame player exactly what it promises: maybe it won't be much, but at least it is clear and honest in its contents and intentions.

A good sequel to the ideal game for Burnout’s orphans, or at least those of the Crash mode.

A game that treasures its tactical engine to stage reasoned and challenging combat, along with an all-too-forgettable plot and characters and a pleasant setting to explore, albeit in its post-apocalyptic banality. Those who appreciate games of this type (and perhaps have already enjoyed Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden) should seriously consider Miasma Chronicles, provided they keep in mind the presence of some difficulty spikes that can make some passages a bit frustrating.

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.

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse is a parallel universe of innovation, new-gen graphics and customization that renews tradition without loosing its original flavour.

Hover is a good tribute to the Dreamcast era, but it lacks of personality and style to define the evolution of the genre.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams on Xbox 360 is still a good nostalgic platform game that offers a nice challenge. Slightly longer loading times and the absence of the two free DLCs makes this version a bit less desirable, but still good for players that don't have a gaming PC.

Sea of Solitude is a personal journey inside the darkest paths of our existence. It can be a painful experience, but in the end we can find a heartwarming message: empathy will save us all.

A simple but incredibly powerful experience, that uses interaction to convey well known themes in a different, emotional and bizarrely frightening way.

An intriguing multi-choice adventure, Erica does almost nothing new but offers an interesting story and great replayability.

A small story that serves well to introduce new users to the world of virtual reality, but the experience of Vader Immortal is unfortunately very limited and gives very little reason for a new game, after having reached the end credits.

Daemon X Machina is fun, fast, with surgical controls, an extraordinary sense of growth and a huge customization of every aspect of the game. Not to mention the galvanizing and powerful sound; however, on the scale we also have sufficient graphics, albeit stylistically refined, and a style of play that requires so much dedication to be fully appreciated.
