The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is the best episode yet in Supermassive's horror anthology, and their most captivating game overall. The claustrophobic atmospheres, the excellent audio production and the tense script filled with jumpscares are accompanied by small but significant improvements in the game formula. Definitely a game to have if you love narrative horror experiences.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters stays on the usual high quality standards the series got us used to, with some very welcome new entries like the caddie and the Augusta Masters. We're just disappointed by a complete lack of support to Kinect the absence of any kind of italian localization.

Ghostrunner 2 takes a big step forward compared to the first game, in all respects: quality, variety, longevity, and game design. A title that is finally mature and capable of entertaining from start to finish, with tough but well-balanced challenges in which the player feels closer to success with each new attempt.

F1 25 races ahead with stunning visuals, ultra-realistic Lidar-mapped tracks, and a revamped My Team Career mode rich in management depth. While inconsistent AI and questionable driver ratings hold it back, the refined driving model and broad content - spanning Braking Point 3 to F1 World - make it a well-rounded package for both casual fans and dedicated sim racers, assuming you're always online.

Wasteland 3 is a top-notch RPG experience, with an highly compelling turn-based combat system and a well designed multi-path plot. It's not exempt of flaws, mainly in the technical area, and the lack of an Italian localization was quite disappointing, but it's a definitely recommended game.

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.

The talented guys at Antab Studio managed to build with limited resources a futuristic and stylistically appealing adventure, a well made and memorable one. It might not be too original and it's got some unpleasant difficulty spikes, but Foreclosed lets us pleasantly play it until the end credits, capturing us in his comic dystopian world.

A worthy sequel in Bandai Namco's hyper-frenzied Pac-Man series, with a highly competitive gameplay and some important new mechanics. It might have used some more variety, but it's undoubtedly a must buy for all lovers of this genre.

Milestone manages to improve on the previous game with lots of contents, technical improvements and new modes. Too bad for the 30 fps frame-rate, a bit restrictive in a racing game; at least on Xbox One X we'd have liked the option to choose between resolution and performance.

Pentiment is, for better or worse, a sort of big interactive comic book showing a huge love for European medieval history, with an intriguing plot and great artistic design but with a great deal of text to read and interactions limited mainly to map exploration and dialogues.

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.

A very good golf simulator, with a high variety of gameplay, even if somewhat complex for newbies. We would have liked a better graphics, not in par with the nice environments offered by other games.

Death Stranding: Director's Cut is a unique game, the product of a volcanic mind capable of creating a fascinating, visually stunning world with unique gameplay mechanics. The downside, however, is missions that become repetitive and tedious in the long run, with an obsession with extremely long and tedious dialogue. A work dominated by genius and unruliness, a true auteur game that we recommend everyone try at least once.

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

Gears of War: Reloaded doesn’t reinvent the game for those familiar with the original one or the 2015 remaster, nor does it address all previous shortcomings in campaign or multiplayer. Still, it offers a substantial set of graphical improvements, making it enjoyable on modern platforms and competitive with newer releases, while delivering the most polished and content-rich version of Gears of War to date.

Crysis 3 feels like a missed opportunity: it's got awesome visuals and it's great fun to play, but a bad enemy AI, short campaign and a low challenge level keep it from really shining.

A good match-3 game, made unique and absorbing thanks to some original and interesting features.

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.

Superliminal offers us an original and mind-bending first-person puzzle experience, a bit too short but always surprising and with a very satisfying ending.

Infinity Ward goofs up on the campaign with a dull story and a totally forgettable villain, but they recover on the multiplayer side with some very nice maps, great bots AI, the usual frenzied gameplay and the highly addicting Extinction mode.

All in all an highly enjoyable game, hoping it'll be supported with a steady flow of new content for a long time.

HAWX has been a real surprise: it manages to differ from the usual dogfighting games thanks to some original ideas, adding variety to a long-time stale genre.

MXGP3 benefits from the switch to Unreal Engine showing better graphics and a more realistic physics simulation, confirming itself as the reference game for off-road bike games.

A solid and entertaining co-op experience, getting more complex with the increase in the number of players connected. We loved its focus on puzzles, something the main Tomb Raider series lacked lately.

A.O.T. Wings of Titan is a convincing Attack on Titan tie-in, with satisfying gameplay mechanics and good story. Its main flaw is its strong objectives repetitiveness, but it won't disappoint AoT fans.

A pleasant surprise, with a very good and varied gameplay and very good graphics. One of the most entertaining games of these last months.

A frantic and ultraviolent ode to classic '90s FPSes, but with a 2D metroidvania structure. Challenging and gory, its only fault resides in an overly lo-fi graphic approach, with sometimes too indistinct elements.

Resonance of Fate's strength resides in its deep and satisfying combat system. Notwithstanding, this isn't a game for everyone and is very different from other jrpgs on the market. Get it only if you aren't afraid of a particularly high complexity and you aren't specifically looking for a visually spectacular game.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn offers us a solid and satisfying experience, aimed primarily at anyone who wants to approach the souls genre for the first time.

Despite some technical and usability flaws, STEEP manages to deliver a satisfying extreme winter sports experience, with a well balanced gameplay between arcade and simulation and a ton of things to do in a huge and surprisingly varied environment. A welcome return for a long gone genre.

Raven Software and Treyarch bring us a complete and satisfying CoD package, with a spectacular - even if fragmented - Campaign and many multiplayer modes. The new Zombi mode feels finally fleshed out and more integrated to the rest of the game and competitive multiplayer is more balanced even if missing some of last year's features, but the classical modes' maps are too few and sometimes limited. All in all, a solid CoD episode capable of keeping us engaged until the next one.

A unique racer, with a fun and adrenalinic gameplay mixing elements from some of the best multiplayer games out there. Too bad it's quite lacking in content.

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.

A fascinating platformer, with great 16-bit environments and lovable characters. Its fighting system could have been better refined with a more even difficulty and tighter controls, but it's definitely one to play.

Celeste surprised us with its tight and challenging but very rewarding gameplay, coupled with a deep story and great level design. Sometimes you can feel lost in the game's vast areas and it could have used a more diversified gameplay, but it's definitely a game to have for lovers of 2D platform games.

Red Faction: Guerrilla revealed to be a pleasant surprise: a very good game capable of dragging and enjoying the player, mainly but not only thanks to the exceptional dynamic destruction tech, and for the adrenalinic multiplayer. Too bad that a forgettable plot and a low longevity kill its aspirations: surely a good game, but could have been much more.

A huge open world and an addictive co-op gameplay with great player freedom are amongst the highlights in Ubisoft's new game, but the single-player experience feels under-developed and unsatisfying. Mainly recommended to gamers willing to play online with friends.

Singularity is revealed to be a very involving game, with some interesting ideas and capable of smoothly bringing us all the way to the end without ever being boring. The only letdown is its bare online multiplayer: we'd have preferred for Raven to focus on extending the single player experience, rather than delivering a too basic multiplayer.

The Riftbreaker successfully blends real-time strategy, tower defense and twin-stick action alongside a stunning and surprising visual compartment. A bit more could have been done to simplify the management of all the elements with a controller, but when it all works it can offer heart-pounding matches.

This isn't the Rainbow Six we wanted, dropping the usual story campaign in favor of a complete focus on the multiplayer experience even if bots support is a welcome addition. But thanks to the many tactical options and the full destruction simulation, It offers an incredibly high variety level with tense gaming sessions, as long as you've got a good group of players to play with.

A great starting point for the episodic series, with an involving story and deep characters: it will surely please every lover of story-focused games. Our main complaint is about the complete lack of italian localization, expecially seen the game's deep focus on storytelling.

Turtle Rock Studios managed to successfully resurrect the original Left 4 Dead games formula, improving it with modern shooter mechanics, very fun gunplay and a lot of variety thanks to the new card system. It's not a very innovative game and it's got some technical and balancing issues, but it can be damn fun and addictive.

A valid remaster job, with good visual improvements and tons of new contents due to the added mods support. Owners of the original game are a bit let down due to the lack of a savegame import feature and high price point, but it's definitely recommended to anyone who never played the game so far.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is an enjoyable and fun adventure, with a classic open-world gameplay structure in a fascinating and humourous setting. We would have liked more enemy variety, but even so, it's definitely a game to take in consideration.

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

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

Helldivers 2 is a solid and hilarious co-op shooter, offering explosive moments especially when played with friends. While it can become repetitive when played solo and lacks cross-progression, its satirical take on propaganda and its budget price make it an excellent value and a must-try for fans of cooperative action.

Hitman 2 feels like a slightly improved content pack over the previous game, with new missions and locations but not enough innovation or meaningful changes in gameplay. If you liked the previous game, though, it won't disappoint you providing many hours in its quality stealth sandbox experience.

A challenging 8-bit style plarformer, with though levels but always fair and never frustrating. A good electro soundtrack and over 50 levels complete the offering.

A recommended collection to the ones who loved the series in the past and are missing Felicia & co, or to the ones who are willing to try one of the very first great Capcom beat-em-ups.

A very good first person puzzle game, with solid - even if not too original - puzzle design and a surprising story. Definitely advised to lovers of Portal-like games.

A well balanced game, suited both to fighting games lovers and DC Comics fans, with an outstanding story mode; actually one of the best written and developed stories in the genre.

WWE 2K3 picks up from the base thrown in last year without disrupting anything, but going on to improve several details. The John Cena-dedicated Showcase mode is interesting and varied, just as the two new My Rise stories come with more narrative care. MyGM and MyUniverse are perfect for simulation fans, while MyFaction brings FUT-style online competition for the first time. Too bad just for the dated technical compartment, but it still remains a must-have title for wrestling fans.

Minecraft Legends is an accessible and easy to master RTS, capable of delivering many hours of enjoyment to every kind of player. Something more could have been done for content variety and to strengthen the plot, but it remains a game that both veterans and newbies to the RTS genre should try.

F1 24 is an excellent update to the Codemasters series: the new Career mode, which allows us to play with real drivers, is excellent, while the driving model has been substantially overhauled with very satisfying results. Only the AI represents a small Achilles heel, which we hope will be corrected as soon as possible.

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.

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.

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.

Haven tells a tale of love and freedom in an intriguing alien world, beautifully depicted and sided by a great electro soundtrack. A game to try, even if you'll need some patience to move past the first, too slow, couple of hours.

A welcome addition to the original Dragon's Dogma story, with tougher and more satisfying challenges and several improvements over the original game.

Dragon's Dogma introduces some very clever ideas to the RPG genre, but they aren't supported by strong enough story, artistic design and technical production. What we've got are some very good missions with highly satisfying combat, spaced out by hours and hours of boring walks in similar-looking and pop-up-ridden lands, but for what it introduces it deserves to be played by RPG fans looking for something new.

A very good hunting sim, with great graphics and a deep and realistic gameplay, both in single and multiplayer. We would have liked more environments/maps to hunt on, but it's definitely a game to buy for lovers of this genre.

The 30 Years of Wrestlemania and The Streak modes make it worth buying by everl WWE fan, but the lack of any substantial changes and improvements in gameplay make it feel somewhat tired.
