NBA 2K16 is the further perfecting of an already complete and extremely finished game; still the best basketball game around and one of the very best sports game overall.

A highly ambitious and complex game, capable of rewarding the gamer with lots of satisfaction if he'll take enough time - and we're talking about dozens of hours here - to learn and master all its mechanics. Space exploration has never been more real.

Drawing fully from classical bullet hell shooters clichés, Teslapunk offers a unique design style and precise controls.

Everyone who watched the 80's Transformers cartoons will surely appreciate Platinum Games' new game, but once the nostalgia effect wears down some issues like a short story and too repetitive gameplay will emerge.

An original and stylish 2D run-and-gun shooter with great graphics and artistic design, and lots of crazy weapons. Highly fun both alone or in co-op, definitely recommended.

FIFA manages to improve itself without drastic changes, but introduces lots of subtle and important enhancements.

The inclusion of vehicles to the classical Skylanders formula managed to add another layer of depth to the gameplay, contributing to making the overall game more varied. And finally we've got online co-op and multiplayer races: a very welcome and long overdue feature.

PES 2016 proved to be the best and more mature game in the franchise since may years, resulting to be highly enjoyable even by non PES fans. Anyway it still retains some historical problems like too few official licenses and ease of scoring a shoot from the distance.

An entertaining game, provided you've got many friends and controllers at home to play with. Otherwise, you could quickly end up being tired of it. Too bad that there's a total lack of online multiplayer: it could have been of great value to the overall experience.

A real surprise, with an highly entertaining local co-op mode but fully enjoyable solo too.

Kojima managed to create the perfect open-world stealth game, giving the player an incredible freedom coupled with great depth and variety. MGS fans will probably dislike its sparse and somewhat unsatisfying storytelling, but it undoubtedly is a masterwork of game design.

Giana Sisters: Dream Runners could have been a good game on paper, but it gets dragged down by too many gameplay and technical problems, other than contents scarcity.

Despite its mobile origins, Pumped BMX + manages to satisfy thanks to good control system and physics simulation. With something like 500 different challenges, it's an advised buy to all lovers of Trials-like games.

Seven years later, Castle Crashers still is one of the best side-scrolling beat'em'ups around, thanks to a great co-op implementation too.

Broken Sword 5 presents us with an enthralling story supported by good 2D graphics and well-thought-out console controls, at a very good price point. All point-and-click adventures lovers should give it a chance.

More a direct port than a proper remaster, Dishonored: Definitive Edition adds very little to the original experience both in terms of contents and visual quality; it's therefore only recommended to those who never played the original game.

A nice 2D horror adventure, not too splatter or scary but with a good plot and interesting but not too difficult puzzles. It could be sometimes a little bit tedious due to the long walking sessions, but it overall offers an interesting adventure experience.

A peculiar and unique title, with a skillful mix of platform, roguelike, rpg, survival and puzzle elements and a very effective artistic design.

A visually evocative story-based game, compensating a pretty rough technical side with great artistic design, a spectacular soundtrack and a compelling and brutal noir story.

A charming platform game, which benefited in the jump from mobile to the living room and offered at a very good price point.

Definitely the best racing sim on the console as of today: Turn 10 filled it up with lots of contents while putting incredible care in every smallest detail, like the new extremely realistic tire physics and the aquaplaning simulation during rainy races. All of this at rocky-solid 60 fps and with a majestic graphical fidelity. A must buy for ever car lover.

A successful mix of genres, with an adrenalinic gameplay and lots of content.

Even if visually not up to date, ZOMBI manages to deliver a well thought-out survival experience with great gameplay rhythm and mechanics.

A pointless porting, with the same bugs of the original PC game from three years ago and an imprecise control system.

Even if not revolutionary or innovative, Toy Soldiers: War Chest represents a decent - but technically disappointing - new chapter for Ubisoft's action/tower defense hybrid.

Coming back to Sera has been a real pleasure: Gears of War: Ultimate Edition reminds us of how good (and still relevant) was its game and level design.

Born from a valid and interesting idea, Submerged lacks in execution bringing us a scarcely detailed and too repetitive world, even if it can deliver some stunning panoramas.

An impressive retro games collection, probably the best to date. Not only does it provide a great tour of the history of video games, but each game is enriched with additional challenges, rewind capabilities and lots of behind the scenes videos.

A nice and inventive rhythm/platform game, even if a tad repetitive.

A great reinvention of the classic adventure franchise with vivid visuals, a fresh gameplay and brilliant storytelling. Our unique issue was with the complete lack of localization, which makes it more difficult to recommend in our country: that's totally unexpected from a publisher like Activision/Sierra.

A solid Geometry Wars-like twin stick shooter, with some innovative elements like a timed countdown system, an interesting storyline and deep ship customization.

F1 2015 lays good foundations for the series future on new consoles, but it still needs a lot of work. Too many bugs and the absence of the Career mode, one of the most loved in previous games, make it hard to suggest it even to the biggest Formula One fans.

A totally lunatic action-platform game, with a simple yet unpredictable gameplay and ridiculous characters and situations.

A colorful platform game with a pretty original mechanic: definitely suggested.

Playing the first levels in SEGA's new platformer makes us hope for a finally solid and funny Sonic successor, but our hopes get shattered when the difficulty rises, with serious control and level design problems that make it more a frustrating experience than challenging one. A real pity: Tembo is a real charmer, and he deserved a better game for its debut.

A good golf simulation, capable of entertaining both experts and newbies thanks to lots of control options and a scalable difficulty.

A very good first person puzzle game, with great visuals and high variety in puzzles. If English isn't your main language you could have some problems following its story due to complete lack of subtitles, but it will be enjoyable nonetheless. A recommended buy to any fan of the genre, thanks to the great price point too.

A game with great potential, heavily hindered by some serious technical problems. Overkill Software did nothing to improve the original game's lacklustre A.I., while one month after release it still is almost unplayable online due to very frequent disconnects and errors.

A very good action game, with a great combat system an a brilliant set of characters. Unluckily this remaster edition doesn't add enough content to be really compelling to the ones who already played it in the past, so it's mainly recommended to those who skipped it originally.

A fascinating mix of point & click adventure and action-platform game, with a compelling and thought-provoking story and some brilliant puzzles. It only slips in a sometimes uncomfortable control system, but it's surely a recommended game for lovers of quality, sci-fi stories adventures.

Rocksteady ends the Arkham trilogy with a real masterwork: a game full of dramatic turns of events, highly polished, with a varied gameplay and rich of things to do. It will be hard to be disappointed with it.

A decent mobile to home console porting, Badland sports some very nice visuals but its too simplistic gameplay might be not enough to justify playing it on console.

An entertaining and engaging platform roguelike, with some really exhilarating characters.

Massive Chalice nails the XCOM-like turn based combat mechanics, introducing an intriguing "genetic management" factor; although it lacks in depth and complexity, resulting in a little varied experience. Adding more hero classes, defense mechanics and maps verticality would have helped.

The Old Blood keeps all The New Order features putting us in a new and more supernatural-oriented story. A good game for the ones who, like us, liked the previous one.

It's like Journey in space, with less poetry and more mystery. Lifeless Planet makes us really feel lost in a huge, alien world, and despite some gameplay flaws it manages to compel us through the ending.

A peculiar and highly niche experience, which explores a new way of storytelling in video games at the expense of a more "playful" interaction. More novel than game, its story can be really touching but an almost irritating exploration slowness and several technical problems keep it from reaching its full potential.

A good buy if you never played the original game on Xbox 360, but it adds too little for the ones who already played it; yet it remains one of the best open world survival games around.

From Software brings back its game making the game even better without distorting it. The result is an even harder game, surely suggested while we're waiting for the inevitable sequel.

A true and great love letter to early 8-bit action-platform games, mixed with modern game design and mechanics. Unmissable.

Project Root presents a very good base idea, but with a poor implementation; we liked the idea of a top-down 360 degrees non-linear shooter, but its generic art design, many glitches and bad game design decisions keep it from even touching its full potential.

A great racing game with brilliant simulation and stunning graphics, capable of adapting to any kind of player from the rookie to the highly experienced. Its limited car fleet and some minor technical issues keep it from being a real must buy, but every racing game lover shouldn't miss on it.

One of the weirdest and deranged games seen on Xbox to date; it manages to deliver lots of surprises to the ones willing to explore its crazy, glitchy world.

A successful 2.5D reinterpretation of Assassin's Creed world, thanks to rewarding stealth mechanics and charismatic and artsy environments.

A quite entertaining and fast paced auto-runner, which unfortunately lacks in longevity and variety.

Ziggurat mixes fantasy FPS, RPG and roguelike elements in a successful original mix. A very interesting title that will undoubtedly entertain the more nostalgic gamers.

The new fantasy Nightmare campaign isn't enough to rejuvenate an already mediocre game, which even keeps many of its original technical problems despite of the new gen porting.

A solid 2D platform-puzzler full of stealth elements and nice ideas. It gets held back by some too basic and somewhat imprecise controls, but it's however a valid game for this genre's lovers.

A good 1080p collection with one of the best FPSes from last gen and a decent spin-off, with the welcome addition of a local split-screen co-op mode. Other than that, there aren't other noteworthy additions so it's a recommended buy just for the ones who skipped at least one of the two games on last gen consoles.

RIDE manages to catch all the magic of riding street supersport bikes both in suggestive city/country locations and in circuits, with a good mix of bikes, environments and gameplay variations. It could have used more polish and care, but Milestone can't obviously count on the same super-budgets of big publishers.

An entertaining classical FPS/roguelike hybrid with lots of weapons, unlockables and secrets: a welcome departure from the modern story-based cinematic shooters.

DmC's definitive edition confirms all the good qualities of the original game, enhancing it thanks to the increased frame-rate, Turbo Mode and new difficulty modes. We would have liked to see more original content in it, but it remains yet the best action game available on Xbox One as of today.

A false step for Omega Force, with a lacklustre technical production, bugs and modes scarcity.

A good adventure, with nice story ideas and lots of fan service for the lovers of Capcom's saga. Its episodic structure gets in the way of a more fluid gameplay rhytm and its graphics disappoint on Xbox One, but it's surely a suggested buy for Resident Evil fans.

On the multiplayer side, Hardline provides a solid and very compelling, even if highly BF4-like, experience, with some very entertaining new modes; the single player campaign resulted in a satisfying experience too, but we would have liked proper, full-blown stealth gameplay, rather than the unconvincing mix Visceral presented us.

Shiftlings sports some nice puzzle mechanics, but it gets old very quickly resulting in the reiterated proposition of the same kinds of puzzles arranged in different and uninspired levels. It gets better, however, when played in co-op with a friend.

This last re-edition of the game adds too few changes to be considered by who already owned the Ultimate edition on Xbox 360. If you never played it, you'll get a very enjoyable fighter but with a bit too many online problems.

Its mobile origins entail some technical limitations like small environments and repetitiveness, but they're balanced by its deep and challenging gameplay and a very good story. A good buy for any Final Fantasy lover.

A nice setting and good art design are hindered by too many problems like a weird and unpredictable AI, uneven difficulty, shortness and intangible storytelling.

A nice 2D runner based on tens of skating tricks, easy to learn but hard to master. Its ease and repetitiveness however make it more suited for a mobile gaming experience.

A fantastic experience with stunning visuals, audio and gameplay values which doesn't lack more touching moments. Moon Studios managed to carve a flawless metroidvania experience, but don't expect an easy ride: it will be as challenging as it is satisfying.
