Final Fantasy X - X/2 HD Remaster finally comes to Steam in a very complete edition with a reasonable price: a must have for every lovers of the saga that haven't played these masterpieces on Sony consoles.

Suicide Squad: Missione Speciale is completely free and offers some fun FPS action but it’s also kind of repetitive and with basically no sense of progression it’s destined to feel boring in a pretty short time.

Metro Exodus debuts on next-gen platforms with a substantially improved version, with higher resolution, 60 FPS and the implementation of ray tracing.

Red Dead Redemption is still a great game today, an open world experience perhaps dated on a structural level but capable of telling exciting stories, which are certainly worth discovering. The Nintendo Switch version can count on portability and surprising performance, opening the doors of John Marston's adventure to a potentially unprecedented user: this in itself represents an important milestone, considering the value of the Rockstar Games title and framing it at the inside the Nintendo catalogue.

Point Lookout represents the best expansion for Fallout 3: deep and wide, the new contents remind the original formula of the game, based on exploration and free choices with a strong and distinctive environment.

With an incredible graphic, Samurai 2: Vengeance shows once again the power of iPhone. It could be considered a normal hack and slash, but the story, music and level design give to the game an added value. Gore and violence are present, but the anime-style makes the slow-motion final moves like an artistic view of the death.

SMT4 shines thanks to its foundation, but those are the same elements that keeps the game in a cage. Beautiful, rich, deep and complex, Atlus once more delivers, even if it should have taken more risks.

It doesn't solve some of the oldest issues of the saga, but Black Flag is nonetheless a great piece of entertainment software, especially thanks to the rich environment, the interesting underlying plot and the almost infinite list of stuff to do while wandering around.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is the perfect sequel: on the one hand the game winks to the classic trilogy, on the other hand introduces interesting new features in terms of gameplay and structure.

Halo ODST won't be able to win over the ones who never loved the saga. But for its price, it is really a great chapter even trying to innovate under some respects. It may not be perfect, but fans will love it indeed.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is no doubt one of the best games for Nintendo DS in months. It's original, exciting and brilliant in some of its puzzle mechanics, while the plot and the characters are beautifully developed. It doesn't last too much, but the overall experience is worth it.

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is the remake of the first PlayStation's racing game, now he's back on PlayStaion 4 in better shape than ever.

Quotation forthcoming.

Age of Wonders 4 is a solid 4X. More depth, variety and a smoother interface would have been nice additions to a collaudated formula.

Blasphemous 2 is the game that fans of the first chapter longed for. It is Blasphemous to the core, but it is even more beautiful to look at with its gruesome imagery, more varied in its combat system, and denser in content. Sure, the plot continues to be cryptic, the platforming component is left too much on the back burner for a metroidvania, and more importantly, the difficulty curve is poorly handled with a good chunk of the adventure too easy and a spike in challenge in the finale. Overall, however, we are talking about a fun game that never wastes the player's time in the re-exploration phase. There is room for improvement, but it is absolutely recommended.

Fun and hilarious, Orcs Must Die! offers hours of entertainment for a small price tag.

Persona Q is an excellent mixture of the strongest points of Persona and Etrian Odyssey: characterization and dungeon design respectively. However it feels like fan service most of the time and if you don't know what the hell Persona is about, you might miss the entire point of the game.

Kingdom Hearts III might look chaotic and confusing both in battles and narrative but it is simply gorgeous and delivers most of the answers and closure fans have been waiting for.

On the PSVita the visual novel expresses at the best all of its potential.

After almost all of the survival horror aspects have been removed, what's left is just another action game, which is a bit too similar to the fourth chapter. Cooperative play is what makes Resident Evil 5's day, but fans' expectations were really high and this new episode is "just" an excellent and fun game, especially for the ones who fell in love with the saga some years ago.

Graphically stunning, fun to play in single and multiplayer and full of content, N.O.V.A. 3 might as well be a Crysis 2 rip-off, but it's also the best FPS available on mobile devices.

The gravity element adds more flavor to the classic Angry Birds gameplay, giving you the chance to hit the pigs from different angles. The presence of some new birds is also welcome.

Street Fighter X Tekken is very easy to play but also deep and very pro friendly. But in order to fully enjoy the clash of the two franchises you have to buy an arcade stick.

Darkest Dungeons retains its bad and fun style at the same time.

With some new features that add fresh content without altering the core mechanics, Tilt to Live 2: Redonkulos is an addictive action game suited for both fans of the prequel and newcomers.

The colorful world of Splatoon is back with a sequel that neither disappoints nor surprises, while continuing to be irresistible.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is not just the usual CoD sequel. The campaign has great replay value thanks to to multiple endings, branching storylines, twists and tough choices, and the multiplayer adds a brand new cooperative vibe to the gameplay.

Judgment comes to PS5 with a higher resolution, 60 FPS and almost instant loading times: the perfect way to experience this excellent Yakuza spin-off.

Hunters 2 doesn't revolutionize the gameplay that made the first episode so enjoyable, but enriches the experience by adding several new elements.

If you’re a fan of this genre, this is without any doubt the best version of Resident Evil available on the market.

This War of Mine is a very peculiar game, based on simple survival mechanics made pretty challenging by the realism of the experience.

Devil Daggers is a minimalist but well-crafted old-school FPS cleverly mixed with the modern obsession for score attack.

Far from being another top-down dual-stick shooter, Space Marshals is instead an extremely well crafted and entertaining action adventure with some strong stealth elements.

After more than a decade, the generation-defining classic Red Dead Redemption arrives on PC, but the landing is not the nice one you'd expect after such a long time. It brings new life to the pictorial world created by Rockstar Games, but an incoherent stability and the price wall makes it hard to justify the purchase.

Hector: Badge of Carnage - Episode 1 is a brilliant, foul-mouthed "point and click" adventure that everyone should try. The game is full of irreverence and "trash" situations, there's a good number of puzzles to solve and the graphics and sound are awesome. Don't miss it.

Quotation forthcoming.

It's true, there are too many "ultra arcade games" on the App Store right now, and most of them become quickly boring and repetitive. But Monster Dash is slightly different: though the game keeps the classic "survival" structure, it gives you a health bar, four different stages and a lot of weapons to blast the enemies. If you like the genre, don't miss it!

Retro City Rampage is a weak 2D version of GTA, with a lot of difficult and repetitive missions. Its pixel art is impersonal, and the story has no sense at all(which is different from nonsense). Music and controls are the best part of the game, but they aren't good enough to separate the game from mediocrity.

It's a Crossy Road-esque formula applied to an old school shooter, and it works like a charm.

Hidden Folks retrieves one of the simplest concept you can find on the scene, making it still absolutely brilliant and enjoyable.

Alien: Isolation is still an excellent survival horror on iOS and Android too. This conversion is technically perfect but it requests a smartphone or tablet with high-end hardware and will be a lot better to play using a Bluetooth controller.

ZiGGURAT doesn't need extra modes or tons of unlockable content to be addictive, because it's just fun, manic and full of brilliant game design ideas.

Royal Revolt! is an awesome reverse tower defense: it's fun, deep and challenging, and it's completely free.

Cassette Beasts is an excellent title from various points of view, with some slight stumbling blocks on the quality of life, but nothing impeding and so problematic. A truly profound monster taming title that shines for the design of the boss battles and narrative citations to the Arthurian cycle. A title that rewards strategy, thanks to a really well-implemented system of interactions between elements and which also takes full advantage of fusions between creatures and synergies with travel companions.

Despite some minor technical issues and a forgettable use of the Gamepad, TTT2 Wii U Edition holds up to the challenge thanks to the same great production value we've come to know and the additional content packed in directly from the start.

Anno 1800 Console Edition is a quality port of a game that we no longer expected to see on Xbox and PlayStation. Of proven beauty, the Blue Byte game hypnotizes with labyrinthine and all-encompassing mechanics, here re-proposed in their original precision.

No longer a classic need for speed game, EA made a true shift, a u-turn, developing a great game, with stunning visuals, and a lot of cars and tracks. The nightly undercover challenges are gone, but the new mechanics, borrowed from games such Forza or GT work well in conveying a great driving feeling.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare comes back with a remastered game that looks like a miracle!

MLB The Show 20 is a solid baseball simulation, with a good number of game modes for all the kind of baseball fans. If you are waiting for big updates on game modes or graphics you will probably need to wait until the next generation.

All is Lost adds some interesting elements to the classic autorunner formula and it's pretty fun and engaging, but it also lacks variety and content.

Ring Fit Adventure delivers a simple but funny fitness experience, with a traditional RPG feel and many exercises you can do by using a surprisingly accurate ring device.

Nier has never been a perfect game, and with a bolder attitude this could have been the perfect way to rediscover this hidden gem of the Playstation 3 era. The work done here is still pretty good, and a great way to show why Nier has become kind of a cult classic.

Final Fantasy XIII is a huge, incredibly well realized game with a brand new and spectacular combat-progression system made even better by top notch visual and sound. Unfortunately these good features have to face some serious flaws like the unnecessary linearity and the too hard difficulty level.

Continuing directly in the vein established by the previous chapter, Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse offers another interesting and disturbing tale, immersed in a Japanese maritime atmosphere. The writing is good and, as usual, the world-building draws us perfectly into the situation, although the more strictly playful parts are even more diluted and less interesting than those in Seven Mysteries of Honjo.

Though it's not simple and fast-paced as Angry Birds, Bag Piggies is a real blast, an action puzzle game with a very deep gameplay and plenty of levels.

If you want a fun, compelling and polished pinball game for Wii U, Star Wars Pinball is the best you can get right now.

Cally's Caves 3 is a solid, compelling action platform game, packed with a lot of stages, enemies, weapons and bosses.

Sackboy is back with a very colorful and happy vengeance. While the Create option has been dropped, Sackboy has gained a third dimension. On his quest to stop the evil Vex, Sackboy travels through almost lifelike crafted worlds full of perils. While Sackboy himself hasn't learned many new tricks, his enemies and the environment have, resulting in a diverse journey that is a treat to undertake.

Treyarch had a full four years to develop its new Call of Duty, and, with no surprise, it's the best in recent years. The studio had time to refine a movement system that will likely redefine the series' standards going forward. They've paired a fast-paced, fun multiplayer with an outstanding campaign, and Zombie is as close to the golden days of Black Ops as it gets. And yet, it's available with a Game Pass subscription. For us, that's a pretty good deal.

Finally a next generation FIFA with its valid technical features is arrived on PC. Too bad for the bugged and bewildering play-by-play and for the absence of the innovations founded in the console version.

Inferno+ is an excellent twin analog shooter, it's got a solid gameplay and very responsive and accurate touch controls. What a pity it's a bit too easy at medium difficulty.

Halfway between a pure simulation and a solid arcade sim, Project CARS makes versatility its main workhorse, supported by a monstrous amount of options, exciting game modes and a great technical level.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is another great work for the preservation of classic videogames. There are no major changes in this "second installment" compared to the previous collection, however, the work done remains valid and the titles chosen are very solid. Sure, the predecessors of Plasma Sword and Project Justice could have been included and some additional surprises added, but it is difficult to have serious complaints for the whole package, outside of the lack of crossplay. The company clearly cares about many of its old classics... who knows if we'll see other big names back in the future.

This is a very particular product: a puzzle with a new approach, an original way to create a game. At first it could be not that addictive, but when you understand the gameplay's mechanic, it will catch your attention for a long time.

Building on the same formula of Heroes of Loot and Space Grunts, Heroes of Loot 2 presents an original take on the dungeon crawler structure with some peculiar idea in place, like the double characters. There are some flaws in balancing and design, but overall it's an enjoyable little game.

It is no longer a nostalgia operation: this is a modern, depth, accessible, captivating, fun, creative, joyful management game in every aspect. Awesome.

The old-school masterpiece Guardian Heroes touches the heart of every nostalgic gamer and so far. A full action rpg based game that still brings to you all the Treasure's craziness: just love it!

Unpacking is a fun and entertaining little game that knows exactly its expressive boundaries.

Dragon Quest Builders merges the fun of Minecraft's sandbox mechanic and the quest from the famous Dragon Quest series.

Transistor is technically beautiful and has a great combat system, but it lacks depth in both gameplay and narration, and its price is quite high compared to the experience it offers.

Although it's a 'member' of a not particularly popular genre, Lumines is without any doubt one of the best PlayStation Vita launch games, a visual/audio gem with a high quality production value.

Splatoon 2 takes what was great of the original game and improves every aspect, every detail of the experience. It's a fun and compelling product, a true Nintendo game.

Quotation forthcoming.

Stray is a small pearl, an adventure that delivers truly suggestive sequences and a fascinating story, which rests on the solid foundations of a very well written lore. Of course, just like a stray cat the game happens to get scared for every little jolt, so the team created a comfortable bubble giving up to fully express its potential.

Arriving sixteen years after the first, this second chapter lands in a radically different gaming context: the creators know this, and manage to play just right with the nostalgia of the original World of Goo players, while simultaneously unfolding a game formula that spirals in surreal directions towards the end of the adventure. And it is precisely this happy spiraling that makes World of Goo 2 great and significant, a true manual for those who want to evoke great glories from the past. In its mobile and chaotic structures and in the physics of its unpredictable fluids, the virtual world of Goo Balls is a certainty for puzzle enthusiasts and, more generally, for games created with care, courage, and awareness.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is an excellent entry in the SEGA series: the game's absolutely solid, spectacular and convincing in many of its mechanics, it's got an impeccable direction and lots of content, subquests and collateral activities.

Terraria is the best Minecraft clone on the market. Version 1.05 add many items and the Hardcore mode, which is the ultimate Terraria experience to try!

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is an excellent Final Fantasy and a quite good MMORPG. With its epic plot and a lot of fan service, it's the true Final Fantasy fans were waiting for.

This is the best version of Destiny 2 thanks to a lot of graphic settings and the astonishing 60 FPS.

World of Tanks Blitz is an excellent mobile version of the original World of Tanks, packed with lots of upgrades and vehicles to unlock.

Age of Mythology Retold is by no means a simple remastered version: sure, it is in excellent shape thanks to the modern version of the Bang Engine, the remake of the animations, as well as the implementation of the orchestral soundtrack, but it is in the gameplay layer that they hide the juiciest news. If every single element of the work, from the divinities, through the civilizations to the individual units, has been evolved and modified according to balance and dynamism, there are also several absolute innovations in the area of quality of life. Of course, you still encounter some problems in the pathing and such invasive work can generate some unexpected bugs, but it is without a shadow of a doubt the best possible way to enjoy one of the most fun RTSs ever made.

Unsatisfactory for those accustomed to open-world games of this decade and lacking as an (un)enriched re-release of a game nearly twenty years old, *Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster* risks ending up poorly. Fortunately, the charm of its original concept and the characterization of the game environment, along with some still-valid ideas, lift it from a fate of potential mediocrity. It will be hard to become as passionate about it as some did almost twenty years ago, and newcomers to Willamette won't find enough content designed for them. But all in all, a stroll through Al Fresca Plaza and a chat with the guy at the supermarket still work today... just much less than before.

Card Hunter is a remarkable and sophisticated casual game with a deep strategic soul. Unfortunately it lacks some options to personalize matches and involve other players in our own adventures.

The Tomb of Sammun-Mak is a really polished, innovative adventure that adds some brilliant ideas to a too often immobile genre. This second episode of the third season is one of the best ever delivered by TellTale.

After last year's successful instance, Madden NFL 17 bring additional value to the franchise. You won't find any particular new element inside it, but you'll definitely enjoy the overall football experience, even if you are a seasoned player or a novice.

Just Cause 2 is way better than the first episode, much more action packed than the usual GTA style game, and also grants great fun thanks to the well devised grappling hook's mechanics. But the game it's not all just about shooting and grappling we can also drive more than one hundred vehicles and fly choppers, Cessna and powerful jet fighters.

Darksiders looks great on PC, thanks to the greater resolution and the lack of tearing. The game itself comes with excellent graphics and nice artistic direction, but its strength lies in its gameplay: War faces hundreds of different enemies, using many different weapons, and there are plenty of puzzles to be solved in each level. Definitely a fantastic action/adventure game, an exercise in game design that can't leave you indifferent.

What if Patapon converted itself in a tower defence game? Dinosaur Slayer is a brilliant App for iPhone/iPod Touch with a deep and structured gameplay that lasts for hours of fun and challenge.

The last episode in Agharta Studio's franchise is clearly a better, longer and polished game, but there are still many flaws from the previous chapters, for example the lack of an hint system that can help the player or a bad Italian translation.

Another step forward in the evolution of the NHL brand from EA, although the increasingly complex control system brings also some flaws for the arcade fans. Plenty of options and game modes make NHL 13 the most expansive chapter so far.

Solstice Arena is a compelling, fast-paced multiplayer battle arena, packed with a lot of nice heroes and three different game modes.

Zombie Highway 2 offers very little innovation, but it’s an enjoyable and well-crafted free to play nonetheless.

After debuting nicely with Sheep Up!, Bad Seed succeeds in refreshing the tower defense genre with a smart and inspired game mechanic.

Forget the usual videogame structure for a while and just let it go, because in Burly Men at Sea we have to sail, and do it many times.

Bring you Home is a puzzle with a nice twist, although a bit derivative. The fact that you're controlling the levels instead of the main characters is funny, and the characterization, art and animation make it shines, even if some solutions seems a little random.

Stripping the stealth action to its bones, Sneak Ops offers a fun way to play with some of its cliché in the palm of your hand.

Terrorbane is a brilliant video game in which bugs help the player to complete his mission.

Entertaining and charming, Labyrinth of Galleria is another example on how NIS mastered its own genre and delivered another fun, well built DRPG.
