A great, entertaining and content-filled rhythm game, with lots of modes and customization options for any kind of gamer.

Constructor brings to modern consoles some intriguing city building/management concepts, but it results in a lacklustre, bug-ridden and forgettable game due to badly ported controls, lack of contents and an overly repetitive gameplay, at a too-high price.

Shadow Warrior 2 is bigger, funnier, deeper and nutter than the previous game, thanks to its RPG component and more open environments. It still feels rough on the edges though, due to an inconsistent frame-rate and too bullet-spongy high level enemies that make us forget any strategy in favor of overly long shooting sessions. All in all, however a definitely suggested buy for '90s style FPS lovers.

MotoGP 17 feels a bit outdated due to its underwhelming graphics and some A.I. problems, but it delivers lots of content for every motorcycle racing lover.

Broken Age allows us to relive the golden age of point-and-click graphical adventures, delivering a pleasing art style and a good writing, even if not exempt of more boring moments. All in all, a good old-school adventure capable of pleasing even the more demanding players.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is an interesting expansion to the TESO world, delivering a huge nostalgia factor and fully playable both solo and with a party, by newbie or experienced players. Its 20 hours story is a bit too short though, and technically it's starting to feel a bit too outdated.

Illfonic's game offers a very captivating gameplay loop with original and effective mechanics, but it ends up being dragged down by too many technical flaws and too few contents. It feels like an early access game at an overly too high price, and that's a pity as it shows great potential.

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.

Get Even results sometimes in too-slow storytelling and fails to provide a valuable shooter, stealth or even thriller experience, but it is redeemed by an adult and surprising story with breathtaking plot twists and by a brilliant audio production.

Kholat fails to keep us involved due to a too predictable plot, while a badly designed map system makes the overall experience more frustrating than thrilling. Too bad: an intriguing mystery as the Dyatlov Pass incident deserved a better treatment.

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.

An entertaining casual word game, with a nice action twist and lots of content.

DiRT 4 offers us a very good driving model, suited both to hardcore rally lovers and more casual gamers, and a satisfying variety in modes and tracks. We would have liked a greater range of locations and more stunning graphics, but what's left is however a very solid and entertaining racer.

A quite ordinary local multiplayer party game, with too low variety in gameplay and modes to really shine. It can be funny for the first matches, but it will quickly wear out.

More than a proper horror game, The Town of Light is a scary didactic experience teaching us about the horrors that went on in Italian asylums until the '80s. It's not a too enjoyable game though, due to overly slow and clunky movements, long loading times and an unstable frame rate.

A visually stunning space sim, with an arcade gameplay coupled to roguelike mechanics. Its controls can feel quite uncomfortable in the beginning and it could have used some more variety in enemy encounters and tactics, but it's ultimately fun and recommended to lovers of space fighting/exploration.

A more balanced and newbie-friendly episode in Bandai Namco's series, with great gameplay and combat systems and a great Story Mode. Despite these, it lacks in single player content, but really, that isn't the core experience in a fighting game and you'll have plenty of fun playing it with friends at home or online.

Tokyo 42 sports a gorgeous visual style, with an incredibly detailed and alive isometric pixel art world; on this backdrop comes alive a solid, if not too original or brilliant, twin-stick shooter with stealth mechanics partly ruined by some heavy frame rate drops and perspective problems. It remains however a very fascinating and unique game, definitely worth a try.

RiME revealed to be an incredibly fascinating, imaginative and touching adventure, with gorgeous environments and organic and well designed puzzles. Definitely one of the best games this gen.

NBA Playgrounds tries to bring back the classic NBA Jam charm, but fails in doing so due to a boring single player and a very unstable online multiplayer. It's still good fun when playing in local multiplayer, but that's not enough, not at this price.

Injustice 2 surprises us with brilliant plot and storytelling, something unexpected from a fighting game and setting new standards for games in general, coupled with a very satisfying combat system and lots of contents. A must buy for everyone, not just fighting games lovers.

An interesting gameplay mechanic differentiates Embers of Mirrim from the usual side-scrolling platformer crop, asking us to control two spirits with one thumbstick each. Sometimes it may become overly confusing, but it's a fascinating mechanic to try.

A successful mix of twin-stick shooter, bullet hell and roguelike, funny and challenging, but lacking enough uniqueness to not feel like something any lover of these genres already played thousands of times.

A good sandbox game, with colorful visuals and well done looting and crafting mechanics. It lacks in combat and storytelling, but it's one worth trying.

Deck13 reinterprets the Souls-like genre with a deep and original combat system and more gamer-friendly structure and story. This doesn't save The Surge from its dose of frustrating and repetitive action, though, but it's definitely a ride worth the effort.

An inexcusable sequel to Kate Walker's saga, where the always brilliant Sokal art gets spoiled by a pitiful technical production and infuriating controls. Did anyone in Microids quality-check this game before putting it out?

A nice idea, spoiled by too-little content and an overly high price. Several weeks after its launch it's almost impossible to find anyone to play with, and for an online-only game this is a huge problem.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is another example of how an old-school game remake/remaster should be done. Gorgeous graphics and animations go side by side with an hardcore classical gameplay, improved in several aspects and highly challenging (maybe too much so, sometimes). Definitely an advised buy both for fans of the originals and lovers of platforming action.

A nice Zelda-like, recalling elements of A Link Between Worlds in a colorful adventure. Its weaknesses reside in the excessive backtracking and too repetitive and unimaginative puzzles, but it's still a good buy for lovers of the genre.

A surprisingly deep game recalling classics like Half-Life and System Shock, with a very compelling story and complex and challenging gameplay that gives great freedom to the player. Some control problems, slightly too long loading times and far from shining graphics keep it from reaching its full potential, but we're definitely facing a new unmissable Arkane Studios gem.

A solid open world tactical shooter, with good mission variety and depth. It disappoints in the technical and story departments, though; it partially feels like a missed opportunity, but definitely a step in the right direction for the series.

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.

A hilarious physics-based puzzle game, especially if played in co-op with a friend. Creative puzzles, rich environments and odd situations distinguish this game.

The Sexy Brutale introduces a very interesting and original concept having us re-live over and over the same day like in a video gaming version of Groundhog Day. The gameplay, though, isn't deep enough and doesn't offer any replay value even if still worthy of being played.

An incredibly tense horror game, with adult themes and great graphics. Sometimes it can be a bit too frustrating, but you'll be rewarded by a memorable ending. One of the best horror experiences ever.

A deep and highly complex RPG, with a huge fantasy/sci-fi world and great freedom for the player.

Nostalgia is strong in this collection, and some of the games like DuckTales and Darkwing Duck aged pretty well resulting in an entertaining experience yet today. But others aren't as well, and why not putting in the remastered edition for DuckTales?

An anguishing adventure, making us feel like in a real nightmare thanks to great visual and audio design. It ends earlier than we'd wanted though, leaving us with more questions than answers.

An awesome sim game, definitely the best one on consoles with great controls and gameplay depth. It suffers a bit on the technical side and we would have liked more contents from PC DLCs, but it's surely a must buy.

A thrilling and surprising mix of a roguelike game and a local multiplayer experience. Too bad for the lack of online multiplayer support.

A GTA-like for all ages, with an entertaining gameplay and lots of content and things to do, even if with a bit outdated graphics.

A captivating interactive movie, with great production values and a good cast of actors, even if with some technical imperfections like casual video stutters and audio desyncs. It's hard to evaluate it as a real video game, but as an interactive movie it's definitely worth one or more runs.

The card-based combat system is a nice novelty, but everything is oversimplified and the setting and characters feel too clichéd and uninspired. A good base idea, but not developed enough.

A successful mix of rhythm games and Rez-like rail shooters, adorned by a memorable EDM soundtrack, resulting in an exciting gameplay experience.

A challenging and highly satisfying old school adventure, from the people who pioneered this genre. Great characters, lots of humor, brainiac puzzles and awesome pixelated environments make this a real must have for point-and-click adventures lovers.

A frantic but too short and not so original platformer. You could enjoy playing it in co-op with a friend at home, though.

Yooka-Laylee strikes all the right notes: great platforming action, vast and gorgeous worlds with high variety and lots of secrets and hidden areas, tons of humor. Even without considering the nostalgia element, this is definitely one of the best platform games of last decade. A must have.

An emotional and magical adventure, with great visuals and charmingly believable characters. We'd wanted it to endure longer and sometimes would have liked to run instead of slowly walking, but really loved the overall experience.

A fresh take on the physics-based puzzle-platformer genre, with an original control system, a charming visual style and a captivating soundtrack. A problematic automatic camera management and some issues with controls and overall performance keep it from reaching its full potential.

Andromeda looks like a double-sided production. On the bright side we find some gorgeous environments, satisfying combat and a convincing discovery feeling, while on the darker one there's an un polished game with several bugs, dull and uninspired characters and a problematic multiplayer. Still a good game, but not Mass Effect-good.

Kylotonn managed to perfectly nail the series' classic feeling and modes, delivering a true FlatOut experience. On the other side, though, FlatOut 4 fails to bring meaningful innovations to Bugbear's formula, resulting in a somewhat outdated game.

An interesting idea with a journey inside the history of video game styles; too bad for its unsatisfying platforming mechanics, frequent and distracting dialogues and an overall uninspired look.

A nice "word building" Limbo-like platform game, with great art style and intriguing puzzles, but with imprecise and frustrating platform controls.

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.

Cyanide's stealth series confirms its strengths, improving its graphics and adding a welcome co-op element. Except for these elements the game doesn't feel too different from the previous one and it still retains some of its problems (mainly in the enemy AI area), but it's definitely advised for lovers of stealth games.

2Dark is a two-sided experience. On one side we get a thrilling atmosphere and a satisfying and compelling stealth-oriented gameplay, while on the other side we get frustrating kid babysitting missions where anything can go wrong. All in all, however, it's an experience every horror stealth games lover should give a chance.

A more than welcome return to the classic 6 degrees of movement FPS, with great levels variety and a challenging roguelike structure. What keeps it from really shining is a too repetitive gameplay, with enemies and bosses always requiring the same combat routines.

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

An intriguing 2D platformer, with a minimalist look but an innovative gameplay mechanic and lots of challenging levels. A sure bet for any lover of skill-based platforming action.

Knee Deep features an interesting noir murder story narrated as a theatrical performance, but with a too low level of interaction only limited to dialogues and a few overly easy mini-games. The absence of foreign (Italian, in this case) localization with very colloquial and slangy dialogues doesn't help, either.

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 hilarious physics-based game, hindered by some troublesome controls but with some very funny side modes.

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.

Rise & Shine offers a great visual look with lots of cameos and references to the video gaming world, all coupled with a good and challenging action-platform gameplay. The good action phases get hampered by more repetitive and long puzzle moments or by some frustrating trial and error sequences, though. But when it manages to really shine, it can be a great action game.

This new adventure re-uses the same well known gameplay seen in every Telltale game, while adding an interesting new point of view to TWD universe with the introduction of the new main character, Jarvis. All in all these first two episodes represent a good start in an interesting storyline: if you liked the previous games, you won't be disappointed.

Even if taking advantage of a solid gameplay and a very satisfying open world structure, Final Fantasy XV suffers from a too patchy design, with an underwhelming second half and an uneven storytelling. It lacks balance and an unified vision, but all in all it's an entertaining game and a first step in the right direction for the franchise.

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.

The Bug Butcher sports a funny gameplay mechanic, but it lacks in variety making the play experience quickly repetitive. It's got a very good couch co-op mode, though.

Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection reminds us of how good, in terms of plot, environments beauty and overall charisma, were the Ezio Auditore episodes of the series. It does this without adding anything new or fixing the original games problems, though, so it's only suggested if you're willing to turn a blind eye on some pretty bad character models and animations and stiff gameplay mechanics, especially in the first two games of the collection.

Headlander features some very inventive mechanics, with a satisfying metroidvania structure and a funny story; its fights aren't something to write home about though, and some puzzles are quite inscrutable resulting in a "click anywhere until you find something" routine.
