Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate is like an encyclopedia of the Musou series condensed in a single game, with a metric ton of contents rendered in a rock-solid 60fps frame-rate. Its old-gen legacy is however still too strong, compromising the entire production.

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.

Blades of Fire is a demanding action-adventure shaped by MercurySteam’s distinct style: rich worlds, deep systems, and thoughtful combat centered on its excellent weapon-forging mechanics. However, cryptic objectives, confusing level design, and an unremarkable story can frustrate. Despite these flaws, its strong identity and rewarding progression make it a worthwhile journey for patient players seeking a unique, handcrafted challenge.

An exhilarating driving party game, where the driver-builder formula can create very funny sessions. It lacks a bit in variety and, even if including a single player mode, it's not for lone players. Definitely suggested if you want one more title to include in your party games rotation.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened has a very good and interesting storyline, capable of keeping us glued to the end, but it suffers from a few too many bugs and gameplay that is a bit too frustrating and confusing. It is worth a try, but maybe after the arrival of some patches and a price drop.

The new interactive toys are a dream come true for any Marvel fan, and if you're a creative type you'll love the new Toy Box features. It's got its shortcomings, though, in the repetitive stories structure and in allowing us to just play the Avengers Play Set out of the box.

A very good game for our children, that will be able to taste the Disneyland parks magic without leaving their homes.

Dante's Inferno is entertaining and a good variant to the usual Xbox 360 line-up. Great storytelling, very solid graphics and an atmospheric soundtrack make it worth the purchase: only its low longevity and the too repetitive combat system keep down our rating of the game.

A good party game, very funny to play with friends at home or over Xbox Live.

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is an ambitious RPG that, despite technical flaws and clunky mechanics, captivates with a dark, atmospheric world, an intriguing reimagining of Arthurian legend, and exploration reminiscent of genre classics. While imperfect, it offers hours of fun for fans craving a new The Elder Scrolls–like adventure.

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 very singular game, coupling a good multiplayer with a forgettable and short single player campaign and, especially, a disappointing technical production if compared to Platinum Games standards. Thanks to its budget price and uniqueness could however be worth a buy if you’re looking for a different and furious brawler to pass some time with.

Red Faction Guerrilla: Re-Mars-tered Edition doesn't do anything to fix the problems in the original game, but its physically simulated destruction still feels fresh and funny, resulting in a decent open world experience.

Mini Ninjas is clearly aimed to a public wanting to enjoy a game without many complications. The nice story and excellent art direction make it a very good game to be played in the family or with friends.

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 surprising licensed game, with very solid gameplay, a fantastic soundtrack and some great gameplay ideas. Too bad it ends up a bit too short for the price it's sold at.

Train Sim World provides a satisfying and realistic train sim experience for the console audience, but it fails to satisfy on the technical side with poor and dated graphics. It looks a bit shot on the contents side too, so there's great margin for improvement with DLCs and patches.

A literal puzzle game, with very relaxing gameplay and great art design. Too bad for some technical problems and control hiccups that detract from the overall experience.

FIA European Truck Racing Championship surprised us with good gameplay, great tracks and a good and balanced gameplay; it feels like we're really driving these beast cars, with all their mass. It disappointment in driving wheel management, sound design and overall graphics, but it's definitely a game to try for lovers of racing games.

eFootball PES 2021 Season Update reissues the same, excellent game of last year with updated players and licenses. Seen the budget price, it's recommended to soccer lovers that didn't play the previous game, while it's hard to suggest it to fans who spent tens or thousands of hours on PES 2020.

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. Flight-sim purists could dislike it, but if you'll approach it without prejudices it'll be able to entertain you during all of its 20 missions, playable alone or in co-op, or allowing you to fight intense and lag-free 4 vs 4 online dogfights.

A very good and solid game, capable of perfectly blending its action and RPG souls and with good visuals and level design. Our major complaint is about it trying to get more of our money than other standard XBLA games, with an insidious pricing model and in-game currency packs: this could create some confusion in the players.

Even if lacking a plot capable of sparking the player's interest, Mad Max managed to keep us entertained for tens of hours thanks to its vast world rich of opportunities. A solid game, worth a try for all fans of the movie series.

Soulstice combines a fascinating setting, two well-characterized protagonists, an engaging storyline and a gameplay that, albeit with a few smears, is capable of providing many hours of fun. It's not a perfect game, with the troublesome camera handling as its major flaw, but it's still a game that every lover of third-person action games should consider.

Even if still fun when managing mountains of zombies with crazy weapons of all kinds, Dead Rising 4 fails to diversify enough of its gameplay from the previous game, making even a backward step in the variety, graphics and overall charisma departments.

Thymesia sports a compelling story coupled by an intriguing souls-like combat system, but it's constrained by excessively linear levels and complete lack of any dubbing. Regardless, if you're looking for a challenging action game, you should definitely give it a chance.

Sand Land manages to keep us glued to it from start to finish, with top graphics and consistently engaging gameplay, even if hardened gamers will frown at the excessively low difficulty. Anyway, if you are a fan of Toriyama's work, it is definitely worth considering.

RAGE 2 offers a tight open-world FPS experience, with a satisfying gunplay and a totally loading-free experience. Too bad for the forgettable story and lack of HDR and 4K support, two factors detracting from its overall value.
