    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    MotoGP 17 feels a bit outdated due to its underwhelming graphics and some A.I. problems, but it delivers lots of content for every motorcycle racing lover.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 Its 20 hours story is a bit too short though, and technically it's starting to feel a bit too outdated.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.

    Perception's got some interesting ideas and touching and adult stories to tell, but all this gets lost in an overly easy and boring game, hindered by several bugs too. It's a pity.

    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.

    Unit 4 merges an original character switching mechanic with a captivating 8-bit sci-fi design and great challenge levels, resulting in an absorbing and satisfying 2D side-scroller.

    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.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    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.
    • 77 Metascore

    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.
    • 74 Metascore

    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.
    • 79 Metascore

    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.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    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.
