Zen Pinball Party adapts and evolves the long Zen series of pinballs on mobile platforms, in one of the most successful chapters we have seen in years.

Struggling is a strange product that wants us to work hard and also suffer. If you're looking for an atypical platformer, you're not afraid of a challenge and you don't care that it lacks a real plot, then you should give it a chance.

We have loved Dice Legacy for its original concept and for how it performed in game. We did not expect it to work so well, given the conditions, but we are happy to have been proven wrong.

The Artful Escape is an awesome musical experience but you need to accept this is something very similar to a walking simulator.

Technically speaking the best entry in the series, Life is Strange: True Colors takes up and improves the path traced by Dontnod with the original Life is Strange.

With a fun and intuitive combat system, some clever characterization and a gorgeous oil painting look, Tales of Arise is a must have JRPG which shows a confident step in the right direction for the series as a whole.

WarioWare: Get It Together! could be the best entry in the series: it has a lot of options, characters, game and modes. It has only one, great problem: differently from its predecessors, it's too complex to be played by casual gamers.

Myst Remake is technically the best form of the classic that you can have today, but its contents are still the same as the 1993 version. It can be a little archaic to play for today's standards, but is still a fascinating experience.

Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions wants to be a tribute to the saga of Rocky Balboa, giving a light-hearted and self-referential tone to the various fights we have come to love so much.

KeyWe is a light-hearted, two-player platformer/puzzle experience. It is a perfect title to play with young children or those who have no experience in the gaming world. Don't expect a complex challenge but if you're looking for a game to break the routine, it can work.

Some technical difficulties on PlayStation 4 and huge difficulty spikes hinders a game with some good ideas and a wonderful setting.

Rush Rally Origins returns to its original formula with a top down racing that mixes an arcade structure and a surprisingly deep driving style. It's a little bare-bones and requires a controller, but Rush Rally Origins is a fun and refreshing take on the rally sim-cade genre.

Lake has a message and it knows how to communicate it. The real problem is Lake has a videogame: it would have benefited from a major complexity.

Crown Trick is a surprisingly bright and fun roguelike, net of a few defects

Tormented Souls is a good first step for Dual Effect in the world of survival horror: their tribute to the 90s is clear without falling into plagiarism, the puzzles are well thought out, but the game needs a few more touches to make the experience less rigid.

Assetto Corsa Mobile comes with no microtransactions, giving you the chance to face a long career mode without paying extra money or deal with waiting times. The driving model is solid, but with a limited controller support, no manual gears shifting and no multiplayer.

The official paralympic videogame is a surprise. Funny, deep and visually stunning on mobile phones, it's a hidden gem to try for free. Some design problems do not affect the overall quality of the game.

Baldo: The Guardian Owls is an ambitious adventure that welcomes us with its wonderful Miyazaki aesthetic, but delivers a ruthless and dated design that could easily discourage you.

An enormous, ambitious, and complex RPG, that will be adored by min maxers and Pathfinder Savants. Unfortunately it retains some of its predecessor's issues, and this keeps Owlcat's new project from being a bonafide masterpiece in the genre.

WRC 10 could be a simple DLC for the previous game of the series, but the developers chose to make an entire new software with just some small changes and a few new features including next-gen support.

If you are in search of a good golf game, leave it be, but if you want a good story, you will find one of the most significant games of the year.

Metal Slug: Commander is a strategy game with gacha elements that just tries to exploit the popularity of the SNK series.

My Child Lebensborn is a sort of Tamagotchi that plays with real life and historical dramas, hitting so hard that it can easily leave you distraught.

Townscaper is a product that draws its strength from self-imposed limits. It should be approached as a tool for relaxation, not as a game to be dominated.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate returns with a colorful remaster: but there are also many flaws as bad as Dr. Eggman.

Marvel Future Revolution is an extremely ambitious game, characterized by a production level higher than many titles seen on consoles and by an exciting degree of character customization.

Rustler finally arrives on PCs and consoles. If you are passionate and remember with joy the very first GTAs and have a heart close to the atmosphere and genius of groups like Monty Python, Rustler is right what it does for you.

The Big Con is a nice game, but not very deep. It entertains for the time it lasts, but in the end it doesn't give much in terms of experience, if not for its graphic style that stands out on everything else.

Song of Iron is a linear adventure, with a combat system that is functional but not very technical and never deeply satisfying.

No Longer Home is evidently a heartfelt video game narration created with love by a duo that shared an important part of life. Unfortunately, its derivative nature and the briefness of the narration are the proponents of a missed empathic experience that could have hit harder than it does.

The Vale is much more than a videogame: it's an astonishing experience which reinvents some key aspects in video games that are taken for granted.

Angry Birds Reloaded aims on the one hand to involve a new generation of gamers with its immediate and fun mechanics, on the other hand to pay homage to the historical fans of the series with an episode reinvented in many respects.

At its core it's just a game of solitaire, but this could easily be the most interesting version of the classic game in digital form, although its additions are, gameplay-wise, not very meaningful.

Secret Neighbor delivers an asynchronous multiplayer experience with some interesting ideas, but unfortunately the mobile version suffers from cumbersome and slow touch controls, technical flaws and a very limiting freemium model.

No More Heroes 3 can count on a funny story, absurd characters, an impeccable direction and very solid fights. At the same time, however, the promise of an open world worthy of this name is betrayed to say the least, with some of the worst levels ever seen in recent years.

A simulation game with massive customization features dedicated to all motorbike enthusiasts. The content and the game modes aren’t excellent, but the overall result is good.

Tetris will remain as a timeless source of entertainment, but with a different twist it can become almost something different and new, as shown by Tetris Beat.

Maybe Axiom Verge 2 is not the sequel that fans of the first game expected. The metroidvania structure appears to be way more focused on exploration and puzzle solving: a different path for the series, but equally enjoyable once you get to understand it.

King's Bounty 2 is an excellent title overall, which owes much of its ability to thrill to his strategic side.

When a talented team also manages to have an interesting idea, a little gem emerges, albeit with all the limitations of the case.

Behind the Frame The finest Scenery is a bonsai adventure game that ends in an hour or so, whose brevity does not bother at all.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a game of substance that is not lost in frills: ideal for action lovers and for fans of the Alien saga, honored with every detail present in the game. Unfortunately there is a lack of truly original ideas to make him stand out from the mass of third-person shooters.

Psychonauts 2 honors its predecessor. Tim Schafer is back with his brilliant writing and his ability to create fantastic worlds, tackling complex issues with due depth.

Boyfriend Dungeon is not a deep, refined or varied game. Yet it offers a mix between dating simulator and dungeon crawler that works, in its own lightness.

Wurdweb is a nice variation on the Scrabble theme with many modes and challenges to unlock and simple touch controls.

As a detective game, Song of Farca works quite well, with good mechanics and characters. It doesn't fly too high, and that's not a bad thing.

Naraka: Bladepoint is definitely one of the best titles that China has brought to screens in the last period. An original interpretation of the Battle Royale genre that takes advantage of the classic strengths of the multiplayer experience with many players, but which innovates in key aspects such as the combat system.

Recompile is a game that promised a lot but in reality is lost in itself. All the gameplay mechanics are dull and shallow, especially within a structure much more linear than it may seem at first.

Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is the definitive edition of a game that, if you haven't played yet, is certainly worth a try.

Zool Redimensioned isn't bad or badly done, but it lacks the original enthusiasm.

12 Minutes is a game that proves to have a great story and an equally valid idea behind it, however the implementation in terms of gameplay does not always work and the freedom given to the player collides many times against an artificial wall, leading to conclusions sometimes illogical. Consequently, the narrative also suffers this backlash, since above all the policeman (and in rare cases also the wife) are bent to the need for the "game over" and are inconsistent or too forced in some of their behaviors. It's a shame, because the twists are certainly not lacking and the evolution of the story is growing, but also thanks to the fact that the events must follow a specific course and the clues are not so clear, the loops accumulate with a lot of frequency.

Haven Park is similar to Animal Crossing, but requires you to run your own campsite.

Road 96 is, ultimately, a successful adventure, which, however, never manages to get to the bottom, limiting itself to exposing its vision in the most didactic way possible.

City of Gangsters is a good 4X gangster simulator where you'll be able to set your booze empire, but in the long run it may feel too repetitive.

Humankind is a Civilization for those who want to try something different in the 4X genre, without giving up a certain vision.

Simple and elegant but never simplistic, Art of Rally successfully combines relaxing vibes with the excitement of racing, thanks to its intuitive but not trivial driving model.

Greak: Memories of Azur is the good adventure of three brothers in a fairytale world.

Foreclosed is a contained and not unpleasant adventure, but certainly not of great impact.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Siege of Paris tries to change the approach from the huge and dispersed structures used so far, but the overall result is a mixed bag.

Super Leap Day brings back the original, hardcore platform gameplay but with some new elements, unlockable characters and controller support.

Shadowverse: Champion’s Battle is proof that card battle RPGs are still as good as we remember.

Lawn Mowing Simulator is unique, simply because there are no other games of this kind that simulate the activity of the gardener.

There is a strange idea beneath this adventure, but all works very well in the end. Sixit could seems a little too weird in the beginning, but as you understand its mechanics, you probably won't leave it until the very end.

Trunks: The Warrior of Hope starts from an old but very popular storyline. Some sequences are visually stunning, but the shortcomings of the base game are strongly reiterated over the three hours it takes to complete the mini campaign.

Battle of Steeltown fits well into Wasteland 3, giving the player a bunch of new stuff to deal with - both narrative and playful.

Age of Z Origins got better over time, thanks to the tower defense missions that nicely distract from the classic list of tasks of this kind of games.

With Capcom Arcade Stadium, thirty titles from the past are back, and in a truly unmissable package.

Cut the Rope Remastered is a great addition to the Apple Arcade line-up, a game that reinterprets the challenges of the classic episodes of the famous ZeptoLab series and therefore offers us a fun campaign, although a little short.

Sherwood Extreme is a well-crafted game, with thoughtful level design and an effective combat system.

Resident Evil Village brings its vision to PC as well, and it does so in an extraordinarily effective way.

A little surprisingly, Ubisoft released the third DLC of Immortals Fenyx Rising: the Lost Gods. A variation on the theme that was needed, but with some little mistake.

A solid metroidvania that implements many elements from the souls series in a smart and interesting system. It's unique art style and inspired world greatly add to the overall quality, making it a valid choice for anyone who loves the genre.

Detonation Racing partially fills the blank left in the arcade racing department but its driving model and strike system, although spectacular, it's a little too chaotic and simplistic.

Idol Manager is the perfect experience for those who seek a real challenge: go and do your best in trying to run a company in its every core aspects, from marketing to promotion and performance on stage.

Cuccchi uses videogames as a medium to bring Enzo Cucchi's masterpieces to a heterogeneous audience like that of the players. The result is an edutainment that brings us closer to the art of painting in a creative and ingenious way.

Fun, entertaining, with a good sport-rpg mix, Dodgeball Academia makes a step in the right direction, giving developer Pocket Trap a good game to be proud of.

The Ramp is a small game. Nonetheless, it is capable of entertaining for an undefined number of hours thanks to its flow-oriented, goal-less nature.

Hunter's Arena Legends is a classic yet innovative battle royale. Unfortunately, Hunter's Arena Legends crashes into practice.

My Friend Pedro: Ripe for Revenge offers a new take on the platforms and bullet time formula created by Deadtoast Entertainment, adapting it to mobile devices thanks to a new control system.

Black Book is an intriguing game due to its unique subject matter. The problem is that the game's pace is too slow and you risk getting bored and missing out on all the good stuff in the game.

Contra Returns is a nice way to experience the classic Contra gameplay on your mobile device, thanks to a solid gameplay, a long campaign and a huge amount of extra content, modes and characters to unlock.

A strategic card game with a nice art style and some pretty nice ideas. Learning the basics is satisfying but the game didn't offer enough mechanics to spend your time on a second or a third complete run.

Orcs Must Die! 3 doesn't revolutionize the series, delivering an action-style tower defense formula that is still relatively fresh and exciting today.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel is a gem of a game. Taking the legacy of its Little Tail Bronx franchise, Fuga goes in a different direction, creating a great combat system and mixing with a captivating lore and story.

Nier Re[in]carnation is very "NieR" in regard to its aesthetics and presentation, with evident sparks of its typical charm. Its flawed gameplay, however, tends to become boring after a while, even for gacha standards.

Eldest Souls has an objective: to make us work hard and, finally, leave us with a feeling of satisfaction for the victory. Does it succeed? Yes, but for this reason, it's not a game for everyone.

Last Stop is a small title capable of telling an interesting and simple story. It has its flaws, but manages to shine for its motion picture qualities and for its level of interaction.

Vesper is a charming and smart platform, with lots of good ideas and a stunning design.

Omno is a small creature capable of challenging giants. The awareness of its contained nature, even if not flawlessly, makes the game shine compared to most of today's video game productions.

The Twin Stick Shooter by Neon Giant is a successful work but lacks in level design and RPG elements.

Punishing: Gray Raven is a remarkable mobile action RPG, very nice to see and packed with an immediate and solid combat system. The campaign is very long and there are many characters to unlock, but the missions are way too short.

Chernobylite is an excellent experience based on the real 1986 tragedy. A game where survival is the key element, around which the other management, role-playing and horror mechanics revolve, for a mix that works.

The Forgotten City is a great game, even more if you think it's built by 3 people. They deserve more credit and more money, because this game is full of good ideas and a very interesting lore.

Samurai Warriors 5 renounces to amaze its audience, offering instead the same old gameplay of the series that gets very repetitive very soon. Those looking for the classic one-on-a-thousand Musou action will have bread for their teeth, however.

Hell Let Loose is a deeply immersive and really clever World War II shooter, when played with a good team on a good server.

Neo: The World Ends With You is perfect for the fans of the series and we can suggest it to JRPG fans too. We'd like to see a better technical aspect.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a welcome addition to the series' roster, adding new mechanics (at least for us Westerners) to an established gameplay and enacting a compelling story.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is awesome on Xbox Series X|S exactly as it is on PC.
