One Piece: World Seeker tries to do many things but without enough focus in any of these, resulting in a rather disappointing game: the stealth, RPG and crafting parts feel too underdeveloped, while combat isn't satisfying and the open world looks too empty and lifeless. Some elements like the story, the swinging mechanic and the many characters present are still good tho and save it from being a complete failure.

Weakless brings some interesting and thought-provoking ideas on the table, but those ideas feel underdeveloped and the overall experience is too short, especially considering the launch price.

Dustborn is a narrative adventure that starts very slowly but eventually captivates you with an intriguing plot and characters that you will grow increasingly attached to. Despite some slower parts, it keeps itself fresh and interesting by mixing different types of gameplay and a wide variety of settings. Even if it doesn't have what it takes to sit next to the top titles in the genre, if you love this kind of adventure it will keep you entertained for many hours.

A good reboot for the series, with some very nice ideas but with a bit too many technical issues. It looks more like an unfinished job, something that could have used some more development time.

The Falconeer delivers a solid and gratifying aerial combat experience withing an intriguing and mysterious world. While its RPG component feels underdeveloped and characters end up being too anonymous, it's definitely a game to try for lovers of the genre.

A successful mix of Zelda-like and roguelike genres, with lots of surprises to discover and an inspired artistic look.

Made for the speedrun FPS lovers, Lovely Planet challenges us with colorful and incredibly fast levels where we need to move quickly and with high precision. Its lack of variety in levels structure and mode, though, could end up in quickly tiring the player.

WRC 2: FIA World Rally Championship builds upon the previous game with a more satisfying driving model and more involving career mode. A very good and realistic reproduction of the rally experience except for the graphics, still not up to the competition.

A good tie-in for Disney-Pixar's flic, entertaining and well-balanced for kids.

A good reinvention of the classic battleship game, with the added depth of more tactical options and modes suitable for lone players, group of friends and online play.

The Escapists: The Walking Dead adds some interesting mechanics to the base title, but as a TWD game it's a bit of a letdown due to a very weak storytelling and repetitive gameplay.

Martha is Dead is unique. A rare pearl in the gaming landscape, dealing with tough issues and immerses us in a raw and real World War II Tuscany, painting a horror story that is truer than ever. It is not for everyone, and if you are overly emotional it is definitely not for you, but if you love authorial and story-driven games, it's absolutely recommended.

A Zuma-like tile-matching video game, with an effective gameplay also due to a couple of new ideas. It could have been greatly benefited by a more inspired artistic design.

Based on an interesting idea - a shooter with just one shot/bullet available - Wondershot proves to be funny for local play with friends but lacks variety and depth to keep people going back at it over time.

HoPiKo offers us charming visuals and sound design, but it finally turns out in a very frustrating experience due to its impossible requirement of pixel-perfect aiming with an analog stick, and an almost sadistic level design.

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 pleasant and relaxing adventure, capable of combining different genres like rythm and platform games. If it wasn't for the repetitiveness of settings and situations, it could have achieved a higher score.

An overly simplified game, suited for children and casual gamers looking for a few hours of diversion between Hogwarts walls. The lackluster storytelling makes it more suitable for people already knowing the complete story, and it misses on giving the player any kind of challenge: it's basically comprised of the same three mini-games repeated over and over through the five hours needed to complete it.

An underwhelming RPG with a shoddy story and poor techincal side. There's much better around.

Quite a disappointment for nostalgic gamers who recalled the great 90's PC game. Even the most rabid AvP fans will find it hard to accept the game's many flaws and brief longevity except for the quite entertaining online multiplayer.

A good detective adventure: if you like the genre and are willing to forgive its inadequate graphics, it's a suggested buy.

A fascinating exploration/filght-sim mix, with great visuals and a good storytelling. Too bad it gets penalized by a troublesome control system, making the experience more frustrating than relaxing.

A very effective combat system and distinctive narrative and artistic style get balanced by an unimpressive story and quite annoying screen tearing. If you're looking for a genuine Suda51 experience, it's nevertheless a recommended game.

The Golf Club brings to the table some interesting features, like social interaction and the advanced course editor. Unluckily it fails in providing a good shot planning and swing mechanics, coupled with unpolished visuals and the lack of a more thought-out game structure.

Slightly better than its quadriennial predecessors, London 2012 suffers from an highly unbalanced difficulty, short longevity and the absence of real-world athletes. Mostly enjoyable in multiplayer.

A solid arcade karting game, with an original and catchy point of view on the Formula One circus. Both kids and grown-up F1 fans will find it entertaining and funny.

Magic 2015: Duels of the Planeswalkers finally adds a deck editor, but cuts away many previous game modes resulting in a quite poor offering compared with the older games in the series. We didn't like the too-invasive microtransactions model, too.

A worthwhile adventure that, while it does not reach the heights of the first episode, does not disfigure in comparison to Telltale's heavy legacy, with a mix of compelling new characters, dialogues that often crack a smile and an art direction worthy of the saga's fame.

A colorful and varied 2D platform game, with Pang-like combat mechanics but a little bit short on longevity.

Rust Console Edition is an addictive multiplayer survival game that will give great satisfaction only to those who will embrace its philosophy based on cooperation and PvP fights, without which the gaming experience is likely to become too frustrating. In addition, the game is suffering from a very poor technical realization, so as to seem an early access game rather than a full one. Given these issues, it is only advisable to super-enthusiasts of the genre.

Gotham Knights has a lot of potential which, however, stays partly unexpressed: the fights suffer from a lower physicality compared to the previous Arkham titles and even the city traversal appears less convincing, while a graphics performance mode would have helped in the most frantic action scenes. It however remains a game capable of entertaining and highly recommended to fans of the Bat-family, mainly thanks to a good story that manages to keep us glued to the screen.

A truly original game in its genre but enjoyable, but unlikely to remain in your head over the years due to some gameplay flaws.

A nice take on the usual RPG formula, with a great story and good graphics even if the the gameplay and combat system fail to fully persuade.

Notwithstanding its defects, mainly in the on-foot part of the game and overall graphical look, Wheelman proves to be entertaining and able to keep the gamer involved until the end of the story. The action-racing part of the game offers some unique and interesting gameplay ideas that we'd like to see recycled in games with higher production values.

A light, casual and funny game at a low price; if you're into arcade and frantic racers, it's worth your Microsoft Points.

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.

Even if not lacking defects, The Crew shines in many aspects managing to deliver and entertaining arcade racing experience and tons of content.

A great experience with fascinating and dreamlike environments and very satisfying Child of Eden-like gameplay. Too bad it all ends so early.

Moons of Madness delivers a boring experience made of long and exaggeratedly slow walks, simple puzzles and bad design choices. That's a real pity, as the base idea of a sci-fi lovecraftian horror is good and it's got very good visuals, too.

A very nicely designed platformer, with an immediate and easy gameplay and some very nice 2.5D sections. Unluckily, though, some control problems and lack of content keep it from shining more.

A great experience for every lover of this genre: exciting and longeve modes, stunning graphics and a good online multiplayer make it a sure bet for every lover of off-road arcade racers.

An interesting concept capable of making us feel the real power of a super-being, but it lacks the structure of a proper game to support it. Its repetitive gameplay and lack of contents make it feel more like a tech demo rather than a full-blown game.

It lacks on the visuals side, especially after the other movie tie-ins Ubisoft got us to, but it sports a charismatic cast and solid gameplay. An enjoyable game, recommended to newcomers and fans of the belgian character, children and grown-ups.

Super Bomberman R brings back the series' popular and addictive gameplay, with tons of contents and some new features. Lots of contents are blocked behind overly high coin amounts though, making even unlocking a single level or character a too lengthy grind.

A good remaster job of an already good and content-filled game, but not without its flaws especially in the graphical department. If you've never played the original game it could be worth a ride, otherwise it won't add anything more to the plate.

Alpha Protocol is the best example as many good ideas can't save a game with a mediocre gameplay and technical side. Obsidian made some good things with the dialogue system, but the shabby visuals, a bad aiming system and a ridiculous AI can let down even the more passionate spy stories and RPGs fan.

DarkStar One fails in every aspect, even if we have to acknowledge it the merit of having introduced some potentially interesting mechanics.

Dogos introduces a very interesting open levels structures, but fails to couple it with a sufficiently deep and varied mechanics, ending up in a quite repetitive and boring gameplay.

Sniper Elite III sports very hard, tactical missions with a good and varied level design, but it disappoints in the graphics and enemy AI departments as well.

Layers of Fear 2 feels like a step backwards from the first game, mainly due to many boring and/or frustrating sections that feel like superfluous filler to extend the game's length. And that's a real pity, as the game's concept, varied environments and graphics could have lead to a very good game, in par or even better than the original one.

Steel Seed moves between highs and lows while still being enjoyable for its entire duration, shining in its settings and in the stealth and platforming phases, while the story and combat system are definitely improvable. If you love stealth action and cybernetic atmospheres, it's worth giving it a chance.

A classical beat-em up to enjoy some time alone or with friends. Too bad for the weak and inadequately developed story, something that could have been the true value of the game.

ReCore is a two-sided game: the first half shows a very promising game, with great combat and platforming coupled with an inspired design, but all of these efforts get crushed once you reach the latter levels, demanding long and boring grinding and object collection sessions. Had the developers stopped before these sections, it would have been a great game.

Skull and Bones is a pirate naval warfare game that is open to criticism in the areas of navigation and exploration systems. In spite of this, Ubisoft's title can be played and provides moments of adrenaline during battles or assaults, which are exciting and fun.

A very good, but a bit short, sci-fi walking simulator, bringing us to a deserted and highly detailed space station to discover what happened to its crew.

This game offers nothing new, but it succeeds in blending together different genders, offering a pleasant package for younger players, whom will find it very easy to learn. It's isn't clearly aimed to the hardcore gamer who won't find anything particularly interesting in it.

A relaxing space exploration game, full of gorgeous low-poly environments. A little bit more challenge wouldn't have hurt, though.

Even as a tie-in for an already canceled TV series, Gemini: Heroes Reborn is an intriguing and interesting game with some neat ideas; using physics and time-based powers during combats can become a really rewarding and creative experience. Unluckily technical problems and questionable design choices bring down its overall value.

A visually compelling game, Pneuma: Breath of Life offers very original puzzles mechanics and an interesting background story, but lacks in length resulting in 2-3 total hours of play.

Thanks to its interesting fruit-based power-up system and lots of contents (including local and online multiplayer modes), All-Star Fruit Racing shows up as one of the best kart racing games around even if being dragged down a bit by some smaller technical hiccups.

A crude, violent and enjoyable game, even if somewhat monotonous in its many firefights. Too bad for its really too short duration: you'll end up shelving it after few hours of play.

An interesting porting of pen-and-paper tactical-RPGs to the video game medium, The Living Dungeon offers a long but not too interesting story, while its gameplay can result in some too frustrating moments also due to lack of proper instructions. Its local multiplayer, though, can result in an entertaining experience mainly for lovers of old school p'n'p RPGs.

MX vs ATV: Alive fails in bringing on the series solid legacy, mainly due to some technical problems and its contents scarcity. Even for a budget priced game, it contains too few tracks forcing the player to repeating always the same ones or buying others via DLCs. Other games like Nail'd, Pure or the previous title in the series, MX vs ATV Reflex, offer a more entertaining and comprehensive package.

McDROID mixes tower defense, managerial and third person action elements resulting in an original and game but some design flaws and too many bugs keep it from properly shining.

Dangerous Golf tries to recreate Burnout's Crash mode charm, but it unluckily fails to recreate both its variety and tactical depth, without even mentioning its huge frame-rate problems. What's left is a nice party game to play with friends, but you'll probably quickly forget it.

Legendary Eleven brings us back to soccer's golden years, with some of the most famous national teams of the past. It's got some nice ideas like the cards system and a good gameplay, but some AI problems and a lacklustre audio design and soundtrack keep it from being completely satisfying.

Angry Birds Trilogy keeps intact all the original games' qualities, but it belongs to in pockets much more than your living room. And the price feels too high, especially when all three games are available elsewhere for free or at much lower prices.

A demanding and unforgiving racing experience, without any bells and whistles or facilitation for inexperienced gamers, separate Assetto Corsa from any other competitor on console. Experienced racing lovers will be able to fully enjoy it, while more casual and less patient gamers should look elsewhere.

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.

A good evolution of the first game's mechanics, adding more depth in the character leveling system and shifting the gameplay more towards its action-RPG side. Worth a check by the genre's lovers.

A lazy straight-to-HD porting, inexplicably missing the second game in the series, with control problems and issues like the Playstation controls shown on the Xbox 360 version.

The perfect game for every MJ lover and one of the best Kinect games around: a must buy if you're willing to put some work in learning all Michael Jackson's signature moves.

A very entertaining game with great gameplay and graphics, partially ruined by an excessively slow player progression and great reliance on its microtransaction system.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate combines interesting gameplay ideas with an highly cinematic style, creating an enjoyable experience even if a little repetitive. Unfortunately, its merits get overshadowed by its four hours longevity, more adequate to a Live Arcade game than to a full price retail game.

Superstars V8 Racing is an easily forgettable game: once finished the championship and established some track records in the free race mode, you won't desire to go back to the game, due to its very frustrating gameplay and poor and bug-ridden online multiplayer. Unless you're great fans of the italian Superstars championship, we suggest you wait for much better racers coming in the next months.

Zombie Army Trilogy offers us a solid and entertaining gameplay, better suited for co-op play. Too bad for its lack of variety and repetition: it risks boring you pretty quickly after the very first missions.

Madden NFL 24 brings several welcome improvements to the on-field experience, especially with regard to animations and AI, but in all other respects it still lags too far behind other sports simulations.

Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a multiplayer title with good potential, but it doesn't manage to express all its qualities in the right way. The excellent level design and artistic component end up being overshadowed by technical problems, a lack of content and, above all, a limited and unbalanced matchmaking system.

Despite the evident technical limits, this was an entertaining game with an interesting mix of first person view and point-and-click gameplay. If you're missing the old graphical adventures you could evaluate buying it, maybe at budget price.

AC Liberation HD lacks the production values the series used us to, and even if it's a Live Arcade release it results in a weak experience, with a badly narrated story and the complete omission of the multiplayer component, present in the original version. Ubisoft did a good HD porting job, but it's hardly an unmissable game.

Twin Mirror brings a mature and dark thriller story with good motion capture for the main character and some good ideas, even it sometimes feels a bit rushed and it's got several technical problems.

A solid new iteration in Sonic's series, with fun and frantic gameplay even if we would have liked more playable characters, while the new Avatars feature left us quite unimpressed.

A funny and mobile-like game, capable of delivering several hours of casual - and a bit repetitive - enjoyment.

Toby: The Secret Mine offers a pleasing visual style, but with a quite uninspired and soulless gameplay and with a game design too based on trial and error.

A great stylish 8-bit look is coupled by an effective but a bit generic gameplay, at its best when playing in local co-op.

Ubisoft's spin-off trilogy ends with a controversial episode. It keeps the great art style and many of the mechanics from the previous games, but its second half is filled with overly difficult, punishing and frustrating sections, something not every player will have the patience to endure. Its many contents and references to Assassin's Creed lore, however, make it a good buy for fans of the series.

Divinity II: Ego Draconis left us with a bitter taste: while being a quite good PC game, the console porting leaves much to desire. The charm of being able to transform into a dragon and the nice plot aren't enough to save the game, undermined by a shoddy technical side and a frustrating gameplay.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint introduces many new feature but fails to properly develop any of them, resulting in an unconvincing game with some nice ideas, made more interesting only when played in co-op with friends.

Heroes Over Europe is playable without ever becoming too boring or repetitive, but some defects undermine its gameplay and the challenge level that people desires from this kind of games. If you aren't looking for an overly simulative experience, you could consider at least renting it.

A good and very solid Kinect beat-em-up for Kinect, combining an effective combat system to Marvel heroes' charm. One of the very best Kinect games of the holidays.

An easy to learn but challenging twin-stick shooter, with a cute toyish modern war look and many levels to play. Its excessive simplicity could end up in being boring after a bunch of hours though, and lack of co-op looks like a missed opportunity.

A good action game with a straight and easy gameplay, suitable for the whole family.

A solid survival experience, mostly shining in the single-player due to a content-lacking co-op mode. We would have liked better storytelling and a less repetitive and tedious first part of the game.

With WRC 3 Milestone managed to improve its series with a satisfying driving model and a lot of contents for rally fans; it still needs some work in the graphics department, but this third episode marks a good step forward in the right direction. Highly recommended to racing and rally lovers.

RedOut: Space Assault reminds of classic on-rails shooters like Star Fox 64 and Rez, adding much more content and a satisfying spaceship development mechanic. It might not be as memorable as those classics, but it's definitely a suggested get for lovers of the genre.

A decent transition game for Bandai Namco's series, with a great character roster and interesting original scenes made by Studio Pierrot. But it still feels like a more of the same, lacking a real Revolution.

A respectable action game, that manages to entertain from start to finish also thanks to a nice story with a touch of black humour.

Deadpool's charm and the great nonsense humor that High Moon Managet do infuse in the game are its brightest spots; on the other side we find an average and quite anonymous gameplay, with a too short longevity. Deadpool fans will surely love it, while anyone else should at least wait to find it at a budget price.
