With its gorgeous graphics and huge amount of content, Infinity Blade III sure is a great deal for its price: however, not all of the new features work accordingly, making this final chapter somewhat less enjoyable than expected.

Dragon's Dogma on Nintendo Switch is a good conversion for one of the best action RPG of recent years.

MLB The Show 21 is a solid baseball simulation, but for a true generational leap we'll probably need to wait next year.

Killzone for PSVita keeps its promises and establishes itself as the first and most important title for the re-launch of the portable console.

WarioWare Gold is a sort of compendium of the series, with most of the microgames that are taken from the previous chapters. The result is a game that is aimed mostly to newcomers, with a strong deja-vu risk for veterans.

Forever Drive is a nice freemium game overall. There's a good sense of progression and great graphics in there, but it can become repetitive and frustrating very soon, mostly because user-generated tracks are often flat or awful.

Don't Starve delivers a unique, deep and compelling survival experience. If permadeath is not a huge problem for you, then you'll enjoy this game so much.

Eriksholm is a stealth game with a strong focus on storytelling, a truly unique experience with a distinct and irresistible charm. It looks great, sounds great, and plays well too, but it’s not without flaws. Some sections work better than others and there are moments when the solution feels reachable only through a string of failures, rather than through player intuition, as it ideally should be.

Deep Loot is an original and brilliant game which maybe would’ve been better without its free to play formula.

Fastar! is an action RPG with an original kind of enemies, never seen before: squares. The RPG elements are very simple but the fighting against the different squares is more difficult than it can appear.

PGA Tour 2K25 is a solid golf game that doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Its key strengths lie in the granularity of customization options, highly adjustable difficulty settings, robust simulation mechanics, and a course editor that could literally make the experience endless. However, its fairly standard gameplay, limited roster of golfers, unremarkable technical presentation, and a few too many bugs put a slight damper on what is otherwise a compelling experience for golf enthusiasts. While it may not dazzle with innovation, it remains a satisfying choice for fans of the sport.

Gameloft keeps with the copy & paste philosophy with a nice Castlevania clone, deeply lacking in personality but with a good gameplay and some pretty nice graphics.

Shinsekai on Switch is the same good game you can experience on Apple Arcade, but with no significant upgrades and with a higher price tag.

Redout 2 is designed for hardcore gamers, who will be able to reach satisfactions thanks to the improvement of physics and the implementation of a control system which, despite being complex, allow to master all the necessary movements. The offer is much richer and has tangible visual improvements, even if some aspects deserve to be refined. All the newbies are warned: Redout 2 is difficult and far from accessible.

Queen's Crown starts exceedingly well, showing off a brilliant gameplay and a fascinating scenario, but does not fully live up to this great expectations... and overall it's "only" a very good game, but not a masterpiece.

Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader is another good RPG made by Owlcat Games, which captures the spirit of the original game.

​A very fun and foolish tactical game. We played it with a lot of pleasure even if it too simple compared to other tactical games. Another marvelous video game from The Behemoth.​

Hand of Fate worth every cent of it. It's an amazing blend of a card game and a roguelike. Try it.

The cooperative horde shooter formula still works great and Epic Games knows it, but Fortnite doesn't quite deliver.

Yakuza 4 aged better than the third episode, that's for sure: the game delives an almost modern Yakuza experience, with nice graphics, a solid gameplay and four different characters with different styles and backgrounds.

RIGS: Mechanized Combat League is one of the best games for PlayStation VR. Fast, funny and frantic. But it desperately needs more content.

Another great role-play game from Spiderweb Software, with a vast game world and more than fifty hours of gameplay.

Fortunately, Dying Light Platinum Edition for Nintendo Switch is a successful porting for Nintendo's hybrid. Despite the obvious and inevitable need to downgrade, the portable version remains enjoyable with a huge amount of content and a sufficiently solid frame rate.

Six years after its original release on PlayStation 3, Heavy Rain is still a game that every narrative-driven videogames fan should play.

Dead Effect 2 delivers a deeper, richer FPS experience than the first episode, with excellent touch controls and spectacular graphics.

Chuchel is a surprising game, with wonderful characters and lots of different puzzles to solve while we follow the misadventures of a couple of strange, funny monsters.

Song in the Smoke is a compelling blend of survival and adventure, technically modest but enhanced by an excellent use of virtual reality.

For 40$ Wings of Prey Offers a fifty missions long campaign and a mix of arcade style and realistic flight experience.

The Trace: Murder Mystery does a great job in involving the player inside the mechanism of investigation, offering a well crafted system for exploring, investigating and manipulating the environment. Despite some lack of charm, this game can be easily enjoyed by every adventure game fan.

For Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition, Overhaul Games kept the same philosophy as the first game released one year ago. Improving a game that is already perfect is a dirty job, but they've finally done it.

This game re-defines the genre of zombie based games with so many ideas and his unique atmosphere, despite tons of tech glitches and a little bit frustrating combat system.

Transformers: Earth Wars is a simple but compelling casual strategy game, with a nice selection of characters.

After many years of average games, Sega finally gets back on the tracks with Sonic Colors: everything the fans were hoping for is here, packed with gorgeous graphics and solid new game mechanics.

Given the technical quality and the excellent matchmaking, Archetype is definitely worth a try for all FPS fans out there. The controls are great, the action is fluid and there is a good number of well-balanced weapons. The matches via Wi-Fi work very well and we experienced very few latency problems. Unfortunately, you can only play team deathmatch on five maps, so the game becomes repetitive very soon.

We know that early access is a great way to guarantee good progress to the development of video games that require accurate balance of mechanics and the broadest possible feedback from the public. This technique has done wonders for the likes of Hades, and turned out to be an absolute wonder for Inkulinati too: Yaza Games has greatly expanded the space of possibility available to players, enriching the game content and reviewing in a meticulous way some elements potentially capable of breaking the delicate balance of the game. Too bad for the permanence of some rather unfair situations and for an excessively long tutorial, which runs the risk of alienating players.

LEGO City Undercover is still the same, joyful, take on the open world action game by Traveller's Tales in perfect LEGO's style. The game is practically the same as before, minus the use of the GamePad but with some increase in performance and a new multiplayer mode.

Another classic from Treasure and a game that hardcore fans shouldn't miss at any cost.

Tropico 6 lacks of innovations. It is a good Tropico, but it has lost part of the series magic.

Sonic Origins Plus is a title that should not be missing in the collection of any fan of the very fast blue hedgehog and SEGA mascot: it updates the historical chapters of the franchise to high definition, in an always respectful operation that enriches graphics and mechanics. It must also be said, however, that we are dealing with the exact same offer as last year, with the addition of Amy as a playable character and twelve titles dedicated to Sonic and Tails from the Game Gear era.

Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy is not just a simple cut and paste of the past iteration, but it's the ultimate edition of the game, the perfect fan service. Maybe there's too much sense of deja-vu, but the quality of the game is past dispute.

If you enjoyed Racer Driver GRID and the TOCA series, the latest work by Codemasters can not miss in your collection: classic hybrid between arcade and simulator, GRID: Autosport is fun, durable, various and technically spectacular on PC, especially for the valuable lighting effects.

If you are looking for the second best kart racer on the DS, or if you are tired of the usual Nintendo universe, look no further: Sonic & Sega all-star racing on the DS is a great game.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is not the perfect jump into next gen for Infinity Ward. Bland visuals and a mediocre campaign ruin the ambitions of the game, but Extinction and the multiplayer are still fun.

Tormented Souls 2 is a pure, old-school survival horror, complete with all the classic strengths and weaknesses of the genre. It brings plenty of ideas that keep the player’s tension constantly high, but you need to be ready to endure its hardships without flinching: few save points, very limited resources, no checkpoints, stiff controls, and constant friction with a less-than-excellent game interface. In return, the experience feels authentic, one of those rare ones you can count on the fingers of one hand today. It’s not a game for everyone; it has a very specific and slightly masochistic audience that probably doesn’t even think about making things easier by playing on the lowest difficulty. For those who love this kind of game, Tormented Souls 2 is among the least compromising titles you can find.

EA Sports UFC 5 will not fail to excite fans of MMA and combat sports in general, thanks to the new features introduced for the gameplay and the improved graphics.

Final Freeway 2R it's a very well done sequel, packed with a solid gameplay and a great number of improvements: three characters with different handling capabilities, fourteen locations, three possible endings and nice graphics and sounds.

Simple and fun, Kumo Lumo delivers a solid experience, packed with a lot of levels and some nice, colorful graphics.

Crowman & Wolfboy is a competent autorunner, but you might end up enjoying it more for how it looks and sounds than for how it actually plays.

Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal is a fascinating homage to the IO Interactive stealth series and one of its most beloved episodes, but at the same time a controversial project to propose after all these years.

This isn't the most exciting episode of the season. Nonetheless it gives us many opportunities to engage in intimate conversations with other characters. And, what's more important, leave us more eager than ever to discover how the last episode would resume the story after our very last decision.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion is an excellent revival of the beloved PSP game with outstanding visuals, music and quality of life improvements, but Square Enix could not remake the boring side missions and some of the oddest story bits.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is unpolished and rough, and can make the entire flight experience frustrating. So why did we fall in love with it? Asobo tries to pursue the future, assembling a sumptuous simulator, an evolution that addresses all the shortcomings of the 2020 release, which was already near perfection. We are confident that the team led by Jorg Neumann will smooth out these rough edges, leaving us with a true masterpiece in our hands.

A good but far from perfect tie-in.

Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is a interesting turn-based jRPG with some gestional elements and a fascinating graphics. The gameplay is a little repetitive like most dungeon crawler.

Worms W.M.D. reminded us why we loved Worms in the first place. It's inventive and fun, filled with hilarious weapons and gadgets, yet simple and intuitive. Away with 3D visuals, classes and liquid physics, Worms gets back to the roots and still adds new features to feel fresh.

Amnesia: Collection brings the series of Frictional Games on PlayStation 4, an event that can not be ignored by all lovers of horror adventures. The Dark Descent and Justine alone are worth the price of admission, but also the inclusion of Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a welcome move for those who want a different experience and more straightforward, although some bugs might have been avoided. 

The Textorcist mix three genres to offer an original and difficult gameplay.

Pascal's Wager is a real soulslike game, challenging and compelling, set in a disturbing, cursed world full of hideous creatures to fight with.

Hell is Others has the atmosphere of a survival horror, the item management of a looter shooter, the replayability of a rogue lite and the customization system of an RPG, and it all works together beautifully.

Skylanders Trap Team is the best game of the series, with convincing gameplay and a fantastic characterization. But it's also the most expensive Skylanders game ever, and older toys are much less relevant than before.

PikPok delivers another fun and irreverent action game. Velocirapture is very simple and straightforward, and it's packed with some nice, colorful graphics. What a pity it's a bit too repetitive and easy.

Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare brings to PC gamers a solid, frantic, fun multiplayer-based third person shooter experience.

Fun and colorful, Rune Factory 4 gives the player so many charming things to do, making it a solid entry in the franchise. Although we would have wished some more complexity and deepness of some aspects.

The iOS version of The LEGO Movie Videogame delivers a nice mix of puzzle, platforming and endless action, with a solid cast of characters.

This first DLC is more substantial than expected: the Trial of the Sword is beautiful and hard, and the Korok Mask will help those who wish to totally complete the game. The Master Mode, less harmonius than the original adventure, represent a real challenge, even for true hardcore gamers.

Broken Toys is the best piece of the last season of The Walking Dead. It leads player to the final with strong choices and a good script.

Little Nightmares stands out for a fascinating atmosphere and a unique art design. The interaction is quite good, even though the overall experience could be a bit more extensive.

Planetside 2 is a great game even on PlayStation 4, perhaps the most interesting free-to-play to date. Large-scale battles with thousand players and necessary teamwork improve the simple shooting experience.

Klonoa returns from the past and re-proposes the two titles of the series in a more than dignified remaster.

GRID 2 is a solid racer, addressing some of the complaints players had with the first chapter. Still, some features have been left out of the package like the cockpit view and the chance not to use flashbacks in the PRO difficulty settings. An easier comeback.

Despite the dated formula of this title, Dungeon Fighter Online stands out thanks to its excellent two-dimensional graphics and its rich and distinguishing gameplay.

MotoGP 25 improves on all the weak points of its predecessor, becoming a motorcycle racing experience truly for everybody.

More expansion than sequel, Wargame: Red Dragon is a balanced experience enriched by naval battles and great single player scenarios.

As it often happens, from a simple idea comes a strong concept that can bring to a deep and structured gameplay. Sure it has flaws in variety and characterization, but it's still an enjoyable game

Riot makes its console debut with 2XKO, kicking off Season 1 and the full release of its new fighting game. Predictably, the title adopts a standard live-service structure, featuring a Battle Pass, in-game currencies to unlock characters—provided you're willing to grind—and a cosmetic shop with rather steep prices. On the flip side, however, is a fighter with a rock-solid combat system and an excellent roster that makes every online match incredibly rewarding, thanks in part to its high-tier rollback netcode. The real question remains whether the game can attract and retain a large enough audience to sustain future updates. 2XKO falls into that 'easy to learn, hard to master' category—a trait that has historically alienated a significant portion of the casual player base.

Project 83113 struggles to be a faithful homage to old-school 2D shooters, and it succeeds in many ways: however, controls are not responsive enough and the difficulty level gets way too frustrating for it to be a true hit.

Inazuma Eleven has not aged very well and with the latest installment (Team Ogre Attacks!) hitting stores right now there's really no reason to dig into the most bastic iteration in the franchise, unless you are an avid Inazuma Eleven fan.

MySims Agents is the most traditional episode of the series, but also, probably, the best one. It's an interesting and amusing, albeit unoriginal, adventure which will delight younger players more than the older ones.

The best NBA 2K game so far when on the court, with a strong career mode. Microtransactions are still an issue in some game modes.

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.

Honor of Kings is the king of MOBAs and it shows. Lots of different modes, dozens of heroes and stellar production values make this game a safe haven for anyone who wants to try something different, albeit akin, to the likes of Wild Rift and Pokémon Unite.

Assault Horizon is a good evolution of the Ace Combat series, it retains some typical flaws but balance those with a good integration of new elements as reguards contents and technical progress. The inclusion of the helicotper is a good diversion and the all new multiplayer section adds a good amount of gameplay.

Fun and entertaining, Good Job! is a title to play for its charm and scope, little but well refined. A simple yet great experience.

El Shaddai is a unique game in its kind, thanks to a unique and artistic design, a fascinating plot and a decent gameplay. Visionary, fascinating, hypnotic, is a good title but not suitable for all players.

Ghostbusters: The Videogame is not one of those crappy tie-ins which try to sell a franchise without respecting its own identity. It is instead a true sequel to the original movies, flawed so weakly that the gameplay is unaffected. Ghostbusters are back and not just fans will love this awesome action-game.

The beauty of this game is completely inherited from the past: it adds nothing to the classic formula, and it hasn't genius. It's time for Nintendo to put his best teams working on 2D Mario again, or soon it will be too late.

On iOS, MotoHeroz presents itself as a smaller and lighter experience compared with the original on WiiWare, but it remains a fresh an enjoyable game that is hard to leave once started.

This is not a game for all, but if you like well structured dialogues, slow rhythm and contemplative moments, Oxenfree has a good story to tell you, and you really should listen.

After finishing it, we thought that Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is the kind of experience that only a studio like DON'T NOD can afford to make and that should be rewarded even just for the courage shown to propose such an adventure in a completely new setting, although not exactly original. A rarity these days. It is not without problems, between having to retrace one's steps too often and the lack of some useful information in the inventory, but on balance these are venial defects for an experience that has proven to be truly engaging in many ways and which grows in the end, always proposing borderline situations that test the player from different points of view.

It's probably not the best game from a technical point view to be the perfect showcase of Xbox One, but it is at the same time a big, funny game with a lot of content.

Better graphics, gameplay and new multiplayer modes makes this Mount and Blade Warband a must buy for everyone likes its predecessor. Now we just have to wait for the loads of great mods will come out in the next months.

Grand Slam Tennis has some faults, but, with MotionPlus, it's the first game of a new generation: interaction is taken where it had never been. Muddled, but revolutionary.

Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition is the revised and corrected version for current generation consoles, with 4K and 60 FPS.

Maybe the selection of titles can be a little hard to be enjoyed by the modern users, but SNK 40th Anniversary Collection stands as an example of how to make a correct nostalgic collection of videogames.

Despite many premises that could be frightful for the classic fan, Dead Space 3 turns out to be another chapter true to the spirit of the series. Co-op play isn't intrusive and the traditional survival horror structure is safe.

Despite some flaws, Pepper Grinder is far from being an unsatisfactory video game. In an industry where quality has now become synonymous with quantity, the game developed by Ahr Ech and published by Devolver Digital goes against the grain. Nothing too complex, but complexity is certainly not required to propose a fun, old-fashioned adventure that looks more to the past than forward, while still being able to amaze with the "little" it has to offer.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance - A Woman's Lot is the best DLC for Warhorse's RPG; the one to try.

Per Aspera is a solid experience, with a promising narrative, a stratified gameplay and a charming setting.
