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.

Boomerang X is a game built on a nice idea, but it needs some replayability to compete with the best arena shooter out there.

Cliare De Lune is a first-person puzzle game with good premises that has to deal with some annoying issues: in fact, the extreme difficulty of some puzzles can quickly lead to frustration.

Midnight Caravan is a game with a lot of unexpressed potential: the story has some interesting moments but does not let you "choose your adventure" that much and resource management is too much unpredictable to enjoy.

With its extremely simple mechanics, Doodle God Universe is far from the classic god game, but inside Apple Arcade it's still a relaxing and enjoyable experience, for a while.

Pokémon Unite is a very solid, very easy to pick up and play MOBA game, more surprising than we thought. We hope that microtransactions will not pose a wall between players who are willing to spend and those who are not.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is the perfect game for the classic CRPG lovers.

Where The Heart Leads is a valid narrative based video game, but it never manages to stand out.

The Witcher: Monster Slayer is a good take of the overcrowded AR gaming scene.

Death's Door is a game where the journey counts more than the destination: a fine experience overall, despite some minor flaws here and there.

AKIBA'S TRIP: Hellbound & Debriefed arrives in Europe, but the remaster is unfortunately not excellent.

Cris Tales is a hymn of love to jrpg but it is also a fresh breath of air full of numerous interesting ideas.

Sleek graphics, superlative voice acting, simple but deep mechanics: Battlesector takes full advantage of the universe created by Games Workshop to provide immediate and challenging turn-based strategy. Unfortunately, at times, the difficulty is excessive and it seems that there is only one way to win.

Ultimate Rivals: The Court is an arcade basketball game with a large roster of real athletes from various sports, frantic three-on-three matches in pure NBA Jam style and spectacular graphics that make the action way too confusing.

While end game content will continue to arrive and be added and will be evaluated over time, Sword of Legends Online is a great MMO.

Skyward Sword’s concept is more similar to a Metroid game than a Zelda game. Even accepting this direction, it has no exploration, it’s too linear, and it focuses too much on puzzle-solving. Anyway, it’s a long, beautiful adventure, and it has some divine level design.

If you have good memories of Aiden Pearce and Wrench, Bloodline is probably for you.

A good yet simple port, the Switch version shines for its portability, while the game maintains its charm even after so many years, despite its crazy narrative.

Roguebook is a very classic card-based rogue-lite that is also very solid. The gameplay is quite free and the sense of progression is great.

Old World is a successful hybridization experiment, which lacks only in the interface, sometimes very unclear, and in explaining its main mechanics to the player, due to a really lacking tutorial.

The feeling with the F1 cars in the game is good in every single corner and if you're a motorsport fan you'll love the new career modes.

A huge expansion with good content quality and quantity. Designed to encourage new players to join this adventure for the first time rather than satisfy the old school players' needs.

A touching story told through the darkest hours of European history, supported by great art and music. Now with 4K UHD resolution and 60 FPS also on console.

Sky: Children of the Light also arrives on Nintendo Switch: it's free, and slightly better than the smartphone versions.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is very similar to its predecessor plus a bunch of additions to make it more funny and replayable.

Labyrinth City Pierre the Maze Detective is beautiful like everything it does.

Space Jam: A New Legacy is a very short and easy beat'em up. Not the game we wanted to play, but it's free.

Minute of Islands is a fascinating work that takes the player on a journey of reflection on very delicate issues. The only sore point is the linearity of certain situations and the duration of the work.

GreedFall was and remains a great action RPG, fun and with a quality setting. Even now, therefore, we recommend the base game, even more than the Gold Edition.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 also arrives on Nintendo Switch with a good porting.

King of Seas is an affordable game with interesting ideas. A title that gives justice to the pirate genre without excelling or tumbling.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is the perfect game for those who have loved the 1986 game and want to replay it with modern graphics. The others can ignore it.

Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny is a good turn-based strategy with a couple of good additions from the team of Nippon Ichi.

Mario Golf: Super Rush is a compact and funny golf game, with appreciable physics and graphics. Speed Golf is really cool, but we doubt that it will be as loved as the normal mode.

Scarlet Nexus is a visually remarkable anime-style action RPG, with an awesome cel shading implementation for both the characters and some of the maps, and some of the craziest enemies we've ever seen.

LEGO Builder's Journey is a simple, yet enjoyable puzzle game. The title of Light Brick is recommended today as it was in 2019 for fans of light puzzle works, such as Monument Valley.

Red Solstice 2: Survivors is a worthy sequel to its predecessor. It improves and enhances some of its peculiar characteristics and stumbles upon some subtleties that perhaps denote an excessive haste and desire to go out on the market.

Legend of Mana did not age up very well but it is still one of the bravest and creative games in Square Enix history.

Olympic Game Tokyo 2020 offers all the disciplines of the competitions, of course in arcade mode.

Beasts of Maravilla Island makes delicacy and lightheartedness its strengths. Too bad for some bugs and for the lack of longevity.

Dark Alliance is not a failure just as it is not a masterpiece, it is a game that will need support and work, that must take strength from the excellent ideas shown and improve its deficits by aiming for the release of the first expansion.

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

It's a little watered down, but there are very classic elements from RPG and strategic tradition in Legends of Kingdom Rush.

Ynglet is a small gem, a pure work of art made by an inspired Nifflas.

Chivalry 2 is a medieval battle simulator that does its job very well, catapulting us onto the field along with sixty-three other players to give life to large-scale clashes that immediately turn out to be chaotic, spectacular and very engaging.

Despite a few small steps forward, the fact that Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 indulges in the same mistakes has led us to penalize it.

Chicory A Colorful Tale is a magnificent, sweet, refined adventure, which hits where it hurts the most while giving you hope for the future.

Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is a decent remaster. It is undoubtedly a trilogy that made history, for the good with the first two chapters and for the worse with the third.

Funny, engaging, simple yet satisfying, this little narrative adventure gives a great amount of fun, despite being relatively short for non-completionists.

Open Country is an extremely valid title in the concept. The inability to counteract the difficulties and the presence of an aggressive malus loop are unfortunately something that made the experience with Open Country more frustrating than fun.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade significantly improves the already extraordinary experience offered by the game, introducing in particular an excellent graphics mode at 60 fps, a greater attention to texture sharpness and new visual effects.

If Football Manager scares you with all its details you may try We Are Football, a beginner-friendly football management game made by industry veterans.

The first impression remains for the duration of the game, and it is that the developers have wanted to take the longest step of the leg. The result is a decent Japanese role-playing game with obvious budget limits.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart throws the saga into the Next Gen dimension. Fun and frenetic, Rift Apart will surprise everyone, even the most skeptical player.

While a bit low on content at launch, this is definitely another great fighting game by Arc System, with enormous potential and exhilarating gameplay.

Rust Console Edition is not a good port at all: it's an inferior version of the original game but at a high price.

Quotation forthcoming.

Mechanically Virtua Fighter 5 is still one of the greats, and being able to play it again is definitely a pleasure for any fighting game aficionado. Unfortunately, a weak netcode in a primarily online based fighting game is a terrible sin.

Mighty Goose is a lethal mix of weapons, geese and space enemies and closely resembles the Metal Slug series.

Quotation forthcoming.

Mad Skills Motocross 3 offers a richer and more solid arcade experience than the previous episodes of the series, but the paywall kicks in way too early.

Necromunda: Hired Gun is a searing disappointment, a conceptually and technically dated shooter that doesn't shine in any way.

Ecology is a delicate issue and not always dealt with properly in the videogame field. Imagine Earth even makes it one of the cornerstones of all its gameplay, on which it builds a layered and fun game.

Quotation forthcoming.

There's something charming and irresistible in World's End Club's anime-style narration and presentation, that keeps you attached to characters, wanting to know how the story develops.

Mayhem in Single Valley is a botched adventure, lacking in playful ideas and too dense with narrative nonsense that is never hilarious or exciting.

Operation Tango is a great cooperative experience. This "spy simulator" basically offers two games in one and thus manages to make up for the limited number of missions and low longevity.

Miitopia is a simple, perfect RPG for anyone too young or too lazy (or disinterested) to play a “real” RPG.

Alchemy Emporium is a nice surprise: a fresh and original management game, which manages to hide its limits thanks to an intelligent series of stylistic ideas.

My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero is a really beautiful game graphics-wise, full of things that will please the many fans of the anime.

Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is a low budget remake which is perhaps too faithful to a mediocre installment in the beloved franchise.

Quotation forthcoming.

Of Bird and Cage has only one problem: it is terribly done. Leave the poor Gitta alone with her misery.

King of Seas has almost everything that it needs to work properly but trips over his own feet and becomes repetitive.

Biomutant is a game with a big heart. The guys from Experiment 101 have put everything they could into this work and their affection is clearly perceptible. However Biomutant is far from being a perfect work, seasoned with many small defects and a series of characteristics that are too ambitious for a product like this.

Incredibly fun and surprisingly addicting, Knockout City proves it has the right cards to make its own way in the world of competitive multiplayer.

Summoners War: Lost Centuria manages to present a peculiar approach to the gacha RPG. It's deep and strategic, and its relying on PvP matches makes it an engaging game far from the autoplay standards.
