A good next-gen debut for Conan Doyle's detective, but we would have liked more challenging and distinctive cases.

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.

FUSER is a real virtual DJ experience, capable of giving us great freedom in creating our songs. It mainly shines in the modes where we aren't limited by specific demands like during the Campaign, but we would have liked more variety in the electro music selection, with genres like dubstep and hardstyle basically missing at launch.

A good game, but it feels like a step backwards from the first game in the series: it's lost some of the depth and innovation we were used to, delivering us a more classical and straightforward experience. It sports, however, a good story, even if quite short, and insipred visuals: it deservers to be played.

If you're looking for some hours of anguish and high tension, don't wait anymore.

A colorful platform game with a pretty original mechanic: definitely suggested.

A solid 2D platform-puzzler full of stealth elements and nice ideas. It gets held back by some too basic and somewhat imprecise controls, but it's however a valid game for this genre's lovers.

Amongst its many merits and defects, Bionic Commando left us the memory of an entertaining and fresh play experience. If you aren't easily discouraged by a somewhat complex control system and the occasional difficulty spikes, Capcom's new game will be able to give you some memorable moments and a positively different experience from the crowd of modern third person shooters.

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.

Somerville takes us on an intimate and dramatic journey through a world now close to unraveling, enriched by puzzles that shape a satisfying gaming offering, but unfortunately some design choices and a less-than-perfect packaging do not allow the game to shine and touch heights of excellence. Still, it remains a fascinating and disturbing journey that you are unlikely to forget, and that is enough to rightfully belong in the experiences every gamer should have.

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.

DiRT Showdown is a pleasing arcade take on the classical rally franchise, with the great technical production Codemasters used us to. Nevertheless, it lacks some spice expecially if played alone, ending up to be recommendable mainly to people willing to play an immediate and entertaining racer with friends.

An original futuristic racer, adding one more layer of depth thanks to its gravity hook mechanic and forcing the player to think differently than in other games in the genre.

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.

Its mobile origins entail some technical limitations like small environments and repetitiveness, but they're balanced by its deep and challenging gameplay and a very good story. A good buy for any Final Fantasy lover.

Great visuals and animations are partially countered by unexciting game design and a banal story. It's still a decent buy for zombie lovers, but it could have been much more.

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 niche game: complex and very demanding, it will award the player willing to patiently master each aspect. We would have liked a better technical production and a more involving story, though.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut brings back an old school and very challenging platformer, improving it with a new hi-res presentation layer. Other than this it doesn't change or improve the original game, but it remains a suggested buy for all lovers of the saga and action-platformers in general.

Techland managed to put the CoJ series back on track, delivering an entertaining and humorous FPS even if a little bit unpolished. If you like western films and games, this is a sure bet.

King of Seas is a satisfying pirate role-playing game, that while not too original, still manages to offer us a fun, unique and recognizable mix, especially thanks to its combat system finding the right middle ground between immediacy and depth.

Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition confirms the original game's pros like the great combat system and compelling story, but this HD re-edition doesn't astonish or add new elements to justify buying it again or for the first time, at full price, for the ones who never played it.

PES 2012 fails to fully persuade, especially if you're looking for a more realistic and simulative play style. The game introduces some welcome features like the on-line fair play system, but fumbles on the ball physics and defense management, with an overly high speed of the actions. Suited for those looking for a more arcade soccer experience.

Phantom Doctrine manages to distinguish itself from the classic XCOM formula by offering us an engaging stealth-based action model, where we need to be much more careful about our actions and tactically plan every move. It's not perfect and sometimes it feels like enemies are way over-sensible, but it's definitely a suggested buy for every lover of spy stories and turn-based action.

The best and craziest episode in Rebellion's zombie saga, with good variety and improved gameplay. It lacks a compelling plot, but it makes up for it with a rewarding non-stop undead-killing action. Our only concern is about the aggressive post-launch monetization model, that could threaten the games long-term appeal.

An entertaining game, with a great set of characters and lots of contents. What it lacks, though, is in variety, with an excessive repetitiveness due to too few locations and enemy types.

A welcome comeback of the first Garden Warfare's simplicity, added with some great options for single and co-op gameplay, even if we would have liked a bit more innovation and content.

A good re-telling of latest Star Wars flick, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens adds some welcome new elements to the series' gameplay, managing to keep it interesting even if it still suffers from an heavy sense of dejà vu for people who played every LEGO game.
