Some interesting ideas, the grotesque violence and tarantinian movie atmosphere aren't enough to raise Wet over the average action games. The game is penalized from a mediocre technical production, awkward gameplay choices and a short longevity, making it suitable only for those of you fascinated by the nice main character and a lot of gratuitous violence.

The Blackout Club introduces a fascinating and often addictive co-op stealth gameplay, even if wit a bit too much repetitiveness in its system of procedural mission objectives. Definitely a game to consider if you're willing to pass some good non-shooting time with friends online.

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.

Deliver Us Mars appears to be a step backward, especially graphically/technologically and on the variety front, compared to its predecessor, but it remains an experience telling an exciting story, with a deep theme and a chilling soundtrack. If you love more "sci" than "fi" space settings and you're willing to forgive a few flaws in order to experience a story that will satisfy you all the way to the ending, this is definitely a title to consider.

A simple, immediate and gory twin-stick shooter, with lots of content but a bit too repetitive.

AO Tennis 2 isn't perfect but it manages to entertain and surprise thanks to a brilliant Career mode, a good gameplay depth and great customizability.

Magna Carta II revealed to be a good J-RPG, especially thanks to the excellent combat system: pleasant, deep and never frustrating. Unfortunately a mediocre overall realization and quite boring dialogues pulled down our evaluation of the game. If you're used of this kind of games, you could be surprised by it.

Supermassive Games delivers a compelling and intriguing horror-thriller adventure, with a great atmosphere and plenty of story branches based on player choices. We would have loved more tools to enable branches exploration, like a choices map or the ability to skip already seen cut-scenes, but it's definitely a great start for this new anthology games series.

The Solus Project offers a fascinating sci-fi adventure, with some absolutely stunning vistas and a mystery-filled storyline. It hangs too heavily on classical survival elements though, something contrasting with its linear story and that could have used a little bit more innovation.

An inventive and totally nuts gameplay gets counterbalanced by inaccurate controls and some way too frustrating difficulty spikes, reaching sadistic levels near the end. That's a real pity, as when it works, Clustertruck can entertain like few other games this year.

An hilarious and very original game, offering us exhilarating insult matches both versus the A.I. and our friends. At the cheap price it's sold, it's impossible not to recommend it.

A very distinct FPS, meant for living a realistic co-op war experience in open environments. It isn't perfect however, mainly in single player due to the lacking allied AI.

Penalized by a too arcadey approach, a non-existent physics simulation and other flaws, this game looks like a flop for Capcom, unable to revive the MotoGP franchise.

Rare delivered a completely new kind of game, mainly focused on letting people create their own adventures alone or with friends, and where everyone is on a level playing field. While the game succeeds in this delivering a very entertaining and visually stunning experience, we feel that it would have greatly benefited from more encounter/mission types and a richer world lore. Hopefully this will be addressed in the coming months.

The Spectrum Retreat sports some very interesting and satisfying puzzles, but it fails in providing an intriguing story backdrop connecting them. Nonetheless, it's still one of the best first person puzzlers this gen, and it definitely deserves a go.

Aftercharge offers us a fresh and original asymmetric multiplayer experience, with an entertaining gameplay. Too bad for its lack of variety, though: one mode and two small maps are a bit too little to keep people interested, so we can only hope in a good influx of post-launch content.

Bleach: Rebirth of Souls introduces some interesting gameplay innovations and a not huge but highly differentiated roster of characters, with a compelling Story mode that will satisfy both the fans and who is approaching the Bleach series for the first time. Too bad, tho, for the lacklustre technical side, plagued by blurry visuals and unstable performance, and an almost unplayable online mode.

A very entertaining and long game, thanks to many modes and a good online side, but with not-so-stellar visuals.

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.

REKT! High Octane Stunts is a cheap and immediate game, without much depth and variety but fun enough to work as a casual filler when we aren't in the mood for more demanding games.

The Crew 2 is a two-sided experience: on one side we've got a lot of events with unique situations in the racer landscape and a huge open world, while on the other we've got a game lacking sense of challenge and progression, with shoddy characters and cut-scenes. Our hopes for the game reside in an hopefully strong post-launch support.

A nice one-button game, easy to learn but very tough to master, with powerful drum n bass tracks and a nice art design. Too bad for a too extreme trial and error structure and some serious collision issues.

A direct and technically good HD remaster of the 2003 game, from which it inherits the great sense of humour and longevity, but also flaws like the troublesome camera and controls, together with low quality sound. If you discovered Rayman only with the Origins game and want more of it, it's a suggested buy.

Never boring and full of brilliant open environments, Lightning Returns tells a great story coupled with a new and very effective combat system. Square Enix could have done something more on the technical side, but the great artistic design manages to make us turn a blind eye on some of the problems.

Capcom did a good job porting the game from Gamecube to Xbox One, but its gameplay mechanics didn't age too well in the post-RE4 era and it could have used some more work on that front.

I Am Alive successfully introduces new mechanics to the survival genre, and it does it offering us an interesting story in a convincing environment. We'd love to see it evolved to a full-blown, high budget AAA game.

NASCAR Heat 5 improves on the previous and successful episode adding new features and modes coupled with very well balanced difficulty modes. It's still got lot to improve in the presentation area and in the multiplayer modes too similar to the ones in previous game, but while waiting for the next-gen jump this remains a very good NASCAR experience.

A good survival/manageriale post-apocalyptic simulation, but with a very high difficulty level that could please some players but will turn away the less patient ones.

A successful take on the sandbox genre for LEGO games, giving the player great freedom and powerful - even if a little bit too imprecise - tools to modify everything in the game's worlds.

An intriguing action-platformer, with a great heavy metal soundtrack and a challenging, yet satisfying old school gameplay. Its short duration and some outdated design choices prevent it from fully shining, but Castlevania-like games lovers should give it a chance.

Konami's horror games are still highly enjoyable thanks to a great focus on emotional pathos rather than on the technical side. Nevertheless, this collection feels like a lazy port, with several problems and no added extras. A worthy buy only if you've never played these great classics.

The new title from TT Games lacks some of the magic of previous LEGO Games, with the movie’s charisma getting somewhat diluted in the video game translation. We also didn’t like the game lacking any voices localization to Italian, while other European languages like french, German and spanish are fully represented: this makes it much less accessible to young players.

A very adrenalinic and intense arcade racer, with a great visual/artistic design, lots of contents and very creative tracks. It's a bit too easy getting lost in its complex tracks tho, with too few visual indicators. It's however a suggested buy for every lover of the genre and nostalgic players of Rollcage.

We're glad THQ Nordic revived this great series, but unluckily it feels quite sub-par compared with the previous games. The loss of environmental puzzles and a general dumbing down of the gameplay formula definitely hurt the series, even if it's still an enjoyable game. Too bad for the performance and technical problems that undermine the overall experience.

We appreciate Square's willingness to keep the original spirit of the games unchanged, but they should have done more to make the last-gen games more pleasant to see on modern consoles. The result is too rough and probably advisable only to the stealth genre's super-fans.

Serial Cleaners is a stealth game with a unique concept and an apt visual style, but with not too original gameplay by the standards of the genre. Nevertheless, the excellent presentation makes it a worthy title for all fans of the genre.

A pleasantly compelling game, with great art and that under the novelty of the dimension-shifting mechanics hides an old school platformer experience.

An enjoyable game, but it misses the opportunity to be something more expecially regarding the free-roaming Manhattan, too repetitive and uninteresting. It's however a good tie-in that will please both Spidey's comics and movie lovers.

A funny adventure and pinball mix, with a captivating main character and lots of challenges. It lacks on content though, but its price is low enough to recommend it to the more curious gamers.

A successful rendition of Supercross, with spectacular visuals and a deep gameplay. Too bad for the performance problems with stutters at the beginning of every race.

A good step forward for 2K's series, with solid gameplay improvements and very good commentating. We were underwhelmed by the Career mode and the lack of a Showcase mode.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood inherits the main series' involving and challenging shooting gameplay, with some welcome news like co-op support and a more open-ended levels design. It partly disappoints due to and easily forgettable cast of characters, a bit of repetitiveness and lack of local co-op, but at its price it's definitely a good buy for FPS action lovers.

Warriors Orochi 4 is the best episode in Omega Force's series, a love (and excuses) letter for all Musou fans who were disappointed by DW9. Filled with plenty of contents and great new features, it's a real pity it delivers a very low challenge level, making it way too easy even at the higher difficulty.

Torchlight III builds on the previous game's good gameplay, but the overall experience feels uninspired. A bit too many technical problems aren't helping, too.

Ravenlok is a fun and easy title to play, but it suffers from problems such as inconsistent combat and an over-simplicity of puzzles and plot progression. A game definitely suitable for an adult who wants to spend a few hours relaxing on the couch, or for a child taking his first steps in the world of hack and slash games.

Vatra Games managed in bringing back the great feeling and gameplay balance of the first games in the series, delivering us a real survival horror in a time when every game seems to prefer the action route. It's not perfect, but definitely a big step in the right direction for Konami's franchise.

A good an passion-infused cyberpunk RPG, witdh great landscapes and a good multi-approach combat system. Unluckily the game gets dragged down by a flawed technical production, with many graphical flaws and unconvincing animations, and some bad design choices like the heavy backtracking.

A completely different game from anything else available on Xbox One, suitable both to managerial game lovers and families with children, thanks to the many play modes available. If you're a fan of the series, you won't be disappointed even if the difficulty is a little bit tuned on the low side.

Cloudberry Kingdom offers lots of content and some interesting ideas with a potentially infinite longevity, but you should consider it only if you aren't afraid of an overly difficult and punishing game.

StokEd tastes of missed chance. Even if being sometimes entertaining, the game lacks in too many aspects. If you’re desperately looking for a new skateboarding sim, we suggest to pick it up when you’ll able to find it at a cheaper price.

An incredibly frantic roguelike action game, with pleasing graphics and a good humor. Its main downside is a too repetitive combat system, where you'll end up using the same 2-3 combos again and again and again.

A captivating side-scrolling adventure, with great visuals and a varied gameplay supporting the intriguing narrative in a communist dystopy. Some controls could have been better refined, but it's not a big deal and the game is definitely suggested.

Hotel Barcelona stands out for its unique style, gradually revealing strong gameplay after a shaky start. Flawed design, balance choices, and technical issues limit its impact, and like the B-movies it emulates, it entertains without cutting deep. Yet its atmosphere and personality linger, giving it the potential to become a cult classic: imperfect, but memorable for genre fans.

An entertaining game thanks to a solid combat system and good co-op support: but if you're looking for good graphics and an interesting story, don't look this way.

A solid and well thought game with great visuals and gameplay variety, but you'll finish it in a couple of hours and the free movement system often gets in the way. Better suited for a budget-priced buy.

A solid thriller game with a captivating story, great atmosphere and very good exploration, unluckily dragged down by an unchallenging gameplay and some technical and AI problems. Overall a definitely advised buy for all lovers of horror-thriller adventures, though.

Brink is a shooter suited exclusively for lovers of team-based online play; it's got a solid gameplay and good class differentiation, but it lacks a proper involving single player campaign, reduced to a mere sequence of botfights in the same few multiplayer arenas.

Destroy All Humans! brings the original Pandemic Studios game to Xbox One, with a surprising graphical remake but keeping the original design and gameplay with too little improvements. The game is still pretty much enjoyable, but it brings with it some old flaws we would have liked to see reworked.

Due to some very drastic design choices, Lost Planet 2 is a very peculiar game: Capcom sacrificed a strong story and main character in favour of a more co-op oriented gameplay. If you're the kind of gamer who loved Left 4 Dead, you'll probably love this too: otherwise, if you're looking for a more story-focused action game it'll be a bit of a letdown.

In Between makes us live the drama of a common person struggling with a relentless and lethal disease: a story about rage and desperation as much as hope and love for life, capable of making us meditate on our lives' true priorities. All this is narrated through a brilliant and highly challenging, but often frustrating due to an imperfect control system, physics based puzzle-platformer game.

A simple and minimalist - yet highly challenging - puzzle game at a great price, Cubot is the perfect pastime for logic challenge lovers.

Despite its strong charm, Deadly Premonition lacks in so many areas that it's hard to recommend it even to the more forgiving gamer.

NBA 2K24 brings back the excellent on-court experience the series has accustomed us to, with major improvements in player animations thanks to the new ProPLAY technology. There is, however, a need for stronger new features and, above all, it is plagued by obnoxious microtransactions even in modes that shouldn't have them, such as MyCareer.

Tom Clancy's HAWX 2 looks like a soulless game: it's an ok flight combat sim, but it lacks a compelling story and missions.

Warhorse Studios' RPG amazes for its high realism in recreating every aspect of the Middle Ages: environments, uses, weapons and even fights and character progression. Too bad for its very weak performances and many bugs, but despite this it still remains an advisable game for lovers of RPGs and european Middle Ages tales.

A very enjoyable game, despite some blind spots in the graphics and sound areas: the social aspects and the many, many things to do in Ibiza and Oahu will keep your interest high for a long time.

The Ascent is a solid and fun action-RPG, capable of providing many hours of fun thanks to well-paced gameplay and powerful and inspired graphics. Too bad for some flaws such as the poorly executed cooperative mode, annoying bugs and the lack of Italian localization, which prevent the first job of Neon Giant to shine as it deserves.

An original and nice 2D puzzle-stealth game, with some funny and pretty ideas and nice environments.

Kill the Bad Guy presents us some very inventive killing puzzles, but with some uncomfortable controls and a tiring trial & error structure.

A nice improvement on the previous game, with added variety thanks to the new management mode and races. It still needs to improve in presentation, though.

A very nice and satisfying top-down open word game, bringing back vibes of the first GTA games. It shines during the car chases, while the shooting system feels imprecise and the indoor thefs mini-game end up being boring very quickly, but this is definitely a game to try by lovers of open world games.

A very good pool simulation, with great ball and shot physics. It could have used some more play modes, but it remains a recommended game at a very good price.

Kinect proves yet again to be the perfect environment for fitness games: EA Sports Active 2 offers us a complete and customizable training program, with the useful heart rate meter to monitor our efforts in real time.

A good arcade rally game, but not too different from the previous episode, with too little content and forgettable audio.

Even with its shortcomings, Fable was a good game and Fable Anniversary keeps everything intact while adding a fresh coat of Unreal Engine 3 graphics. The game didn't age too well and modern RPG lovers will have plenty to complain about, but if taken as a trip back in time to Xbox' early steps, it surely deserves a try.

Running on the Snaefell Mountain course is a great experience with gorgeous visuals, both for expert riders and amateurs thanks to several presents going from arcade to simulation. If teels too contents-lacking though, especially for its price point, and the added courses only partially help in this.

Ninja Blade's greatest value resides in its high cinematic spectacularity, which makes it very enjoyable if you like this kind of excessive Hollywood action. Nevertheless, it's excessive use of QTEs and its sometimes frustrating controls make it a rough experience, suited only for the more forgiving and patient gamers.

Biomutant shows big potential, but it unfortunately misses in fully reaching its initial ambitions due to reused content, some narrative problems, and a technical production not on par with today's standards. The game is nevertheless still good and capable of entertaining with its frenetic gameplay and its beautiful scenarios; it's therefore recommended to lovers of the genre.

iO offers us an original and challenging platform gameplay mechanic coupled with a charming minimalist design: definitely suggested to every skill-based 2d platformer lover.

Too heavy on microtransactions and too slow on player progress, Crossout shows an entertaining and solid gameplay, even if some uncomfortable control choices are frankly unexplainable. All in all, being it a free-to-play game, it surely deserves a try.

Great visuals and animations are partially countered by unexciting game design and a banal story. It's still a decent buy for zombie lovers, but it could have been much more.

Interesting gameplay mechanics and a suspense-rich plot make it a game worth to be tried, even if it could have been much better.

Not a game for everyone, which bets all in pure destructive action and online co-op, sacrificing graphics and story.

Need for Speed: The Run fails where it was supposed to be stronger: its story mode is embarrassingly short, with gameplay problems like the automatic resets each time you even slightly go off-course, and with a dull and badly developed plot. What's left is a frantic and spectacular arcade racer with a solid online multiplayer, but lacking enough variety and content.

A nice game, for a very young public but that sometimes will even please the nostalics of old 2D platform games. Surely suitable for kids and families willing to relive the movie adventures with Sid and friends.

Every motocross fan will find an excellent experience in MXGP, with highly satisfying physics simulation, bike handling and tuning. It would have benefited of more care in the off-track environments design and better engine sounds, but it’s still a must buy for the genre’s lovers.

Daymare: 1998 is an ambitious survival horror game, balanced between old school mechanics and innovation and with an original plot rich of references to the 80s. Its good story and inventory management system clashes with a shaky technical production and some uneven difficulty spikes especially with puzzles, but it's overall a likeable game that every fan of the classic survival horror series should give a chance.

A niche game: complex and very demanding, it will award the player willing to patiently master each aspect. We would have liked a better technical production and a more involving story, though.

The Complex is an intriguing interactive movie, with good production values and a compelling story. It might have been longer, but it's definitely worth a watch/play.

A very promising game, with great art style and a captivating asymmetric multiplayer gameplay. Our only reserve is about the game's variety: the 5 maps available with the free Prologue and the first campaign episode aren't enough to keep gamers playing over and over, so a constant release of new episodes, even after the first season, will be very important.

A fair co-op shooter, full of funny moments but not standing out in any particular area. Only for side scrolling shooters uber-aficionados.

A satisfying arcade off-road racer, with great graphics but with a not so good frame-rate stability. Its main single-player mode, Off-Road Masters, lacks a bit of spark and longevity, while the multiplayer mode looks too basic and scarcely populated, with long matchmaking times.

Somerville takes us on an intimate and dramatic journey through a world now close to unraveling, enriched by puzzles that shape a satisfying gaming offering, but unfortunately some design choices and a less-than-perfect packaging do not allow the game to shine and touch heights of excellence. Still, it remains a fascinating and disturbing journey that you are unlikely to forget, and that is enough to rightfully belong in the experiences every gamer should have.

A fun and engaging game troubled by a lacking technical production, even if Rebellion made a good job trying to overcome it with a great environments design. And in view of its more tactical and stealth approach, we would have liked a less linear and driven levels structure too.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts introduces a good new gameplay structure, only to waste it with lots of bugs, a lackluster enemy AI and quite bad graphics.

A good "ballistic destruction" game, with functional and well-thought motion controls and overally satisfying gameplay. With better artistic and level/puzzles design could have been a real must-have.

2K improved some aspects of the franchise like roster size and the very good Univers mode, but the absence of a proper story mode and of the Showcase mode is taking its toll on the game.

Phantom Doctrine manages to distinguish itself from the classic XCOM formula by offering us an engaging stealth-based action model, where we need to be much more careful about our actions and tactically plan every move. It's not perfect and sometimes it feels like enemies are way over-sensible, but it's definitely a suggested buy for every lover of spy stories and turn-based action.
