    Blacklist successfully continues on the road taken by Conviction, keeping the core gameplay choices and expanding everything with a more open mission structure, greater focus on stealth gameplay, great replayability and a strong co-op and competitive multiplayer support. Dismissing it as another action-oriented Splinter Cell will be an error: it can be as stealthy and challenging as you want it to be.

    EA keeps improving an already excellent game, adding intriguing new modes and a new and very effective passing system.

    Age of Mythology: Retold is an absolutely successful project with an highly affordable price tag, capable of keeping an RTS enthusiast glued to the controller for days on end, but that can also win over those who are not experts in the genre.

    Ninja Gaiden 4 masterfully revives the series’ legacy, blending Team Ninja’s spirit with PlatinumGames’ flair. Yakumo’s journey delivers thrilling combat, massive boss fights, and a deep progression system that rewards skill and dedication. Despite camera flaws, repetitive environments, and Ryu Hayabusa’s limited role, it remains a brutal, stylish, and essential action game for fans and newcomers alike.

    Afterimage is a fascinating and content-rich metroidvania, capable of keeping us glued for dozens of hours through fantastic worlds, an elegant combat system, challenging bosses, and platforming stages to master. All beautifully blended and delightfully packaged, making Aurogon Shanghai's adventure shine as one of the best titles of its genre.

    Saints Row IV doesn’t want to set new bars in graphics, storytelling or put hundreds of characters in the same area: it simply wants to be over the top, parodistic, irreverent and fun. And it succeeds, delivering us hours of great fun and satirical sketches. If you appreciate this kind of exaggerated and somewhat vulgar humor, it won’t disappoint you.

    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.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a true love letter to Konami's own TMNT titles, and one of the best collections of this kind seen to date, with a huge amount of content and extra features such as online play and a very complete Ninja Turtles encyclopedia. A must buy for every lover of the classic TMNT games.

    NHL 14 continues to improve since the series birth 20 years ago, allowing us to dress the part of real ice gladiators.

    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.

    This is Treyarch's masterwork and probably the best title in the series so far: with two campaigns comprising a deep and surprising story, 4 players co-op including local split-screen, the biggest Zombie map so far, extra modes and a rich and solid multiplayer, Black Ops III offers tons of content and hardly anything to complain about.

    A great space simulation and strategy game, the more surprising as it's perfectly playable on console. A game no lover of this genre should miss.

    WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is a gritty, fast-paced soulslike that surprises with its sickly, atmospheric world and challenging but fair combat. Despite technical flaws and poorly explained mechanics, its intense boss fights and deep gameplay offer real rewards for dedicated players. A strong sense of identity and smooth progression make it well worth trying, especially for Game Pass subscribers looking for something fresh.

    Super Mega Baseball 2 is a deep and fun simulation disguised as an arcade game, with good mechanics and a difficulty system capable of adapting to every kind of gamer.

    Sledgehammer's debut with Call of Duty doesn't bring the revolution some hoped for, but introduces some welcome changes to the multiplayer experience making it very entertaining and compelling to play. The co-op mode is somewhat of a letdown if compared to the excellent Extinction mode from last year, while the single player campaign proved to be on par for the series even if we would have preferred more open missions and more freedom for the player. It won't disappoint any fan of the series, but it won't convert any of its detractors either.

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order does justice to the Star Wars universe with an enjoyable mix of features and an intriguing story. It doesn't end up being particularly original and it might have been more polished, but it still emerges as one of the best games of 2019 and definitely one of the best Star Wars games of this generation.

    We Were Here Forever is the most ambitious and most successful title in the co-op puzzle series, capable of delivering a one-of-a-kind cooperative experience thanks to a long series of puzzles perfectly integrated within the story. Too bad about the absence of the Buddy Pass, which would have allowed two friends to play together without having to buy the game twice.

    Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf builds on the already good predecessor to deliver a more varied, deep, and rewarding adventure. With great anime-like art direction, clever and challenging puzzles, and a compelling and emotional story, it stands as a 2D side-scrolling adventure that deserves to be played by any lover of narrative adventures.

    A real revolution in its genre, thanks to the new guitar and the video streaming GH TV service capable of keeping us glued to the controller song after song after song. We've got a very different experience from the past here, but it's fresh, highly satisfying and varied.

    MLB The Show 21 is the baseball simulation par excellence, finally available on Xbox. Although the game doesn't deviate too much from past episodes, it is still a real masterpiece, suitable for baseball fans and newcomers alike.

    Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is a solid release with a well-crafted story, cinematic cutscenes, and engaging stealth-puzzle gameplay. While replay value is limited and the lack of specific localization options may deter some players, its affordable price and distinctive design make it an appealing choice for fans of the genre. Not for everyone, but those who connect with it will find a rewarding experience.

    A very different game from anything else Xbox One has to offer; colorful, hyper-frenzied, spectacular and packed full of hilarious pop culture references. With slightly less repetitive gameplay and maybe a higher challenge level, it would have been perfect.

    Even if with four years behind it, Crysis arrives on Xbox 360 in great shape with a compelling campaign, great environments and one of the best graphics around. Too bad for the complete lack of multiplayer, a lacklustre enemy AI and some bugs and problems here and there, but if you never played this game on PC, it's an highly recommended buy.

    An immense game, with a lot of things to do that will deliver you many hours of surprising gameplay.

    A very good shooter with great visuals and some interesting RPG contaminations. But the dull story and lack of real innovation in the FPS missions keep it from being the great id Software comeback we were expecting.

    Watch Dogs 2 offers a better and richer gameplay than its predecessor, sacrificing a deeper and mature script in favor of a funnier sandbox experience. A recommended buy especially for lovers of stealth and hacking gameplay mechanics.

    EA hit the mark in trying to renovate its football sim: graphics, gameplay, atmosphere and game modes are all in their best shape with the only exception of the Longshot mode, a bit too repetitive. If you skipped some Madden NFL games in the past in fear of the usual "more of the same", this one will definitely prove to be worth the buy.

    • 80 Critic Score
    A little indie gem, with an emotional and originally narrated story, well thought-out puzzles and great artistic design. Too bad for its short length; we would have liked for it to last a couple of hours more.
