Overall Master of Magic seemed like a good recovery operation of a classic. Starting the game, one perceives that there is no desire for revolution.

Call of the Sea is a well written game with some flaws when it comes to its puzzles: overall, a fine experience that is surely worth a try.

It may not be perfect, or exactly how any of us wanted it, but Homeworld 3 is a great game.

Absolver offers a new approach to the martial arts simulation. It's not easy to start to play, but it can pay off in the long distance.

The third installment in the Rèpublique series offers little in terms of innovation, but it’s probably the most engrossing episode thus far.

Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a solid and full of suspense survival horror, heir of Clock Tower and with a considerable level of difficulty.

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.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is in a nutshell what Metal Gear Solid is. Unfortunately this great content is just a small prologue of the next Phantom Pain that lasts only a few hours.

F.3.A.R. may not be able to instill fear, but it makes up for these shortcomings with a solid gameplay and an exciting single player campaign, packed with lots of great FPS action. You have to beat the game twice to use both characters and see both endings, and then you have four fresh and entertaining multiplayer modes to enjoy. Definitely recommended.

If you already tried the freeware version of Super Crate Box, then you know how fast, immediate and fun this game is. You can really play for hours and never get bored, trying to unlock all the weapons and all the game modes.

Though the first Dementium was a decent survival horror, it suffered from a series of flaws that made the experience perhaps a bit too naive: poor plot, poor atmosphere, bad-designed monsters. This sequel solves almost all problems, delivering the same nice graphics at 60 fps, a nice artistic direction and very well-done enemies.

Episode 3 offers a fascinating landscape and many opportunities. The nature of the new Hitman is well established, tasks are always well done and really fun to play.

Tropico 5 is the best way to play a city simulator nowdays. If you have been disappointed by Sim City, this is the game to buy.

Blacklight: Retribution is a free2play shooter which give its best only with a credit card.

One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is one of the best musou you can find right now. With just a few touches to its usual gameplay it gives us an engaging and funny experience, even while being repetitive.

Dante's Inferno is a decent action game packed with 60 frames per second and a lot of fun. Some problems related to the gameplay, the story and balance of difficulty prevents it from being on par with the best action games around.

Silence is a good adventure Telltale-like game with a great story and less-good puzzles.

Life is Strange 2: Episode 3 - Wastelands is the third installment of the second series of Dontnod Entertainment, full of characters, meditation and narrative points.

Despite a good premise, The Blocks Cometh doesn't engage its audience. To be clear, it's not a bad game, and the graphics are pretty nice, likewise the good chiptune music. But unfortunately the contents are poor and the lack of variety is clear. Besides few unlockable characters and some achievements, the player doesn't have many reasons to keep the game on his iPhone for long.

Maskmaker is a perfect introductory title to virtual reality, able to literate the newbie gamer and entertain the more veteran one in a relaxed manner.

Infinite Space delivers an extremely rich plot and numbers that stand out, but while playing we often had the impression that all interactive phases are a mere side dish to a sort of (slightly) interactive cartoon. In short, this is an adventure that RPG fans will love, but in terms of fun it doesn't offer anything special.

Quotation forthcoming.

Marvelous under all its aspect, Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a pure JRPG gem. Beautiful to see and awesome to play this game deserve a place in your library!.

This time there is only a main character: Gromit and this third episode is surely the best of the series. Finally we can see a new area and finally the puzzles are tough and funny. Now the only thing we can do is to suggest the entire package and get ready for the grand finale.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is a nice RPG based on the popular anime/manga Japanese franchise. The gameplay is solid and enjoyable even if is quite traditional, there are lots of mission and 250 Digimon, but still feels like a Vita game running on the PS4.

Noby Noby Boy is more a toy than a videogame, a surreal experience unlike anything else you've ever played before. It's a "love or hate" kind of game, but it will keep you hooked if you get in sync with it.

AXL: Full Boost offers a fast-paced, surprisingly addictive "hardcore" racing experience, packed with a good number of tracks and vehicles to unlock. The game suffers from some questionable choices in terms of controls, but you can deal with it.

GRID Legends brings more content into its own funny arcade racing mix, but story mode is too linear to be entertaining, even if it's technically valid.

Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands is a welcome comeback to faster and tighter gameplay mechanics in the series. It's just too short and too easy to be a AAA title.

The beginning is so sweet, with gags to be discovered all over around us. And they almost always deliver. But then, after an hour or so, minigames take over and fun fades away. Still: how many other games make us laugh out loud like this?

The new Gran Turismo lacks a bunch of expected features but you can feel the passion for the cars as soon as you start playing it.

The Passing adds good quality, three maps campaign and a couple of new competitive modes that worth the price on the 360 console and are a gift on the PC. Good work Vale, good work.

Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book is a valid entry in the long-running series. It sports some novelties, some of them are good (for example the day/night cycle), others not so much, like a sort of step behind in the battle system, but in the end it will please fans of the saga and could be a good start for newcomers, although it can be a little too sparse and inconsistent at times.

Inazuma Eleven Go does not really add anything new to the franchise, but it's visually impressive and finally does justice to the original anime. Gameplay is also crispier and faster. Fans will definitely love it.

Baby Steps is a deliberately provocative video game. Its goal is not to challenge you to master the physics that governs Nate's movements, but to speak to your gut, triggering reactions of frustration, anger, and visceral emotion. After all, that's its nature: it's a rage game. It will surely be the subject of thousands of angry reactions from those who play it with an audience behind the screen, and its most extreme moments will rack up millions of views. This is the fate it has chosen. But, outside the context of online entertainment, is it fun to play? Baby Steps is, at times, one of the most irritating gaming experiences we’ve ever had: its cringe humor is annoying, and the most extreme obstacles often give the impression that success is just a matter of luck. If you're masochistic enough, it can provoke a strange and irresistible pleasure. For everyone else, the answer to the question posed in the title is no: there’s little beyond the meme.

Grow Home's got a huge potential, but at the same time it's limited and lacks polish.

The House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut is one of the best on-rail shooters in the last generation, and surely one of the few games that give sense to PlayStation Move.

LEGO Bricktales is the way LEGO video games should be conceptualized. A meditative, yet intoxicating building experience that truly relies itself on the physical reliability of our creations. It is the kind of adventure that brings generations together, having fun and sharing experiences through their favourite passions.

Max Payne Mobile is a perfect port... gone wrong. The game is the same as the original PC version, but the touch controls and the low difficulty make it less enjoyable than what it should have been.

Dirt Showdown is no doubt a very entertaining game. The handling is very easy, but the destruction derby mood of the game could be a little bit frustrating.

Fable III is a good game but the original contents of the PC version do not convince and, at the same price, there are other more interesting titles.

Blobster manages to carve out its own space in the platform genre on the App Store, thanks to an enjoyable gameplay and a good number of well-designed levels.

Anna Extended Edition has brand new accessible puzzles, a larger area to explore and stronger narrative material. Its so much richer compared to the standard edition that even those who have already finished the original game will find many good reasons for a second play through.

Not only a clever, difficult but never frustrating puzzle game. Color Zen is also a very interesting experience in which minimalistic abstract art and electronic music play a great role in absorbing and relaxing the player. At a very cheap price, it is almost an eShop must.

SBK14 Official Mobile Game is a solid, competent racer, that comes with some very nice graphics and a comprehensive career mode.

Just Dance 2015 is still one of the best party games around, but the formula really needs to be refreshed.

Final Fantasy Record Keeper proves that the free-to-play approach to a historical series like Final Fantasy can be made in a right way.

Despite obsolete graphics, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R is a solid, challenging 2D fighting game.

Score! Hero is a pretty clever way to mix strategy and football in an experience that fits well on the touch screen. Just don't expect a very deep gameplay.

Angry Birds Action! is a nice pinball-like spin-off, what a pity it uses an aggressive monetization system.

It's a little shallow and its peculiar scenery could have been better exploited, but in the mobile environment there aren't so many survival roguelike with a character like this.

Emily Wants To Play is a nicely done creepy title, despite the simplicity and a truly inflated cue (the classic haunted house), managing to make right random mechanics, although not without some issues. It will scare you and it reveals a great pastime to celebrate Halloween. Will not last long and it is graphically poor, but what we have here is a title that we recommend to all those who love the genuine jump scares.

The Trail has good looks and an intriguing concept, but after playing it you just can’t fight the feeling that you’ve just wasted time doing nothing.

Guardian of Gotham doesn't bring the plot ahead as we expected, but overall Batman: The Telltale Series is still a good take on the Dark Knight universe.

Evil Factory is a fun and witty pixel art action game, but its virtues are somewhat limited by slippery controls and IAPs that get in the way in the long run.

It's the style that strikes at a first glance in Bulb Boy, and it is ultimately what remains of this game, after its (short) course. Quite enjoyable as a puzzler, the game is short and quite straightforward, but its mood and atmosphere is something to remember.

The Mad Ones is really a good start for this new series of adventures. We're looking forward to see where the developer wants to bring us.

Onrush is totally fun at first but after a few hours the enthusiasm fades away. The game lacks of in depth mechanics, something that is essential to keep players on the servers in a multiplayer-based experience.

For those looking for strong emotions and a charming atmosphere, this is the right game.

An interesting alternative to the classic team based shooter.

The Sinking City offers a very simple upgrade: higher resolution and frame rate, some additional visual effects and faster loading, as well as features unique to PS5, such as DualSense haptic feedback.

A good builder with a cool mood and some nice ideas.

Hot Wheels Unleashed marks the return of toy cars to consoles and PC, with a noteworthy title.

An FPS with a brilliant concept ad a great execution, plagued only by some matchmaking problems and a bland art direction. Not many players are playing it as of now, and it's truly a pity, since it deserves a lot more attention.

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot The First Cases is a mystery novel in the form of a video game. Structurally very linear and simple, it's a good adventure for fans of the genre who are looking for a contained work that doesn't distract with secondary elements or gameplay mechanics that have little to do with the genre.

Crysis Remastered Trilogy lands on Nintendo Switch in an unexpectedly very good conversion.

Grotto is a heartfelt, visually brilliant narrative game, but its lack of gameplay and interactions tend to eradicate its artistic value.

Lost Eidolons is a successful title that pays a role-playing side that is not exactly exceptional and a story that cannot stand the amount of dialogue and narrative sequences inserted by the developers.

Aliens: Dark Descent is a nasty and ruthless strategy game, just like the Xenomorphs.

RIDE 5 improves, optimizes, enriches the experience of the Milestone series thanks to a lot of new content, including several brand-new tracks and a well-structured and interesting Career mode, which focuses on the traditional Gran Turismo-style progression system while missing the opportunity to rationalize the difficulty balance according to precise and not circumventable rules.

Capcom completes the conversion of the Ace Attorney saga with a compilation that does justice to the three games that make it up. The remastering work is good, but some more extras would have been appreciated. A must-buy for Phoenix Wright adventure lovers, provided they already have the first trilogy that boasts even higher narrative levels and are not allergic to visual novels.

Pokémon TCG Pocket is a fresh and fast way to dive into the world of Pokémon collectible cards. On one hand, it simplifies and speeds up battles, sacrificing some strategy; on the other, it highlights the collectible aspect and the beauty of the illustrations, which have recently enhanced the latest paper expansions. The result is a game best enjoyed in small doses, to avoid getting too caught up in the numerous, albeit not overwhelming, microtransactions. It will be interesting to see how Pocket and Live evolve in the coming months, but for now, it’s an enjoyable digression from the original experience.

Infinity Nikki stands as the embodiment of any little girl's video game dreams, but it does its work so brilliantly and passionately that it transcends the boundaries dictated by such a target audience, thus succeeding in enthralling anyone who doesn't have a heart as hard as stone.

Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is a serviceable scrolling beat'em up for fans of the franchise that lacks the gameplay finesse which made it a success of its latest competitors.

Patapon 1+2 Replay is a much needed remaster for some of the best games in the genre, now blessed by all new options and visual improvements.

Def Jam Rapstar is the only music game that focuses exclusively on Hip Hop with more than 40 of the greatest Hip Hop songs available. For this reason it's not easy to play like other "karaoke" games. You can use your console camera to record your performances and share them with the fully integrated Def Jam Rapstar community at www.defjamrapstar.com.

Zone of the Enders HD Collection is a solid package and a good chance for all videogamers to replay a classic series of games.

MADiSON is a good horror title, especially thanks to its never banal puzzles, which recall those of classic graphic adventures, rather than Amnesia titles.

Below is an incredible and artistic journey, but not a great rogue-lite. The PS4 version brings the Explore mode: a good way to enjoy the game, but unable to correct its problems.

Certainly Snowboard Hero isn't a perfect game, but it's a little title every SSX fan should have on the iPhone. The game provides a great variety of challenges and a lot of unlockable contents, but the lack of a multiplayer mode is its real weakness.

Despite some lacks in the matches engine, FIFA Manager 10 is a step forward in the series, with tons of options and a nice look.

Song of Nunu falls short on the quality that Riot Forge has demonstrated over the titles it has made. While it has a touching and heartfelt story, its gameplay feels old, uninspired and boring. The usual cast of side characters gets a smile on the faces of League of Legends fans but as a whole this game is a disappointing step in the opposite direction.

Assassin's Creed Recollection was an unexpected surprise. Thanks to its mix of strategy and time-based experience, the game offers innovative mechanics that will make happy both the fans of Ezio Auditore and the TCG enthusiasts.

Star Conflict is a good free-to-play game with some flaws and a moderate free-to-play model.

WarioWare: Move It! represents another success in the saga dedicated to Super Mario's nemesis. The ingredients that have made the brand's fortune, including the bizarre art design, are back. In addition, the new mini-games entertain and surprise. Super fun in single player, sensational in multiplayer.

So far, The Medium is the best game developed by Bloober Team: a love letter to the horror genre and a major step forward for the studio.

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.

It's definitely not a perfect expansion but it's still a very ambitious extra, that makes an already great fighting game even better.

Anodyne is a well done Zelda clone with a stunning story. The vintage gaming fan will love it.

Very Very Valet is a sort of party game that works very well in its couch co-op multiplayer mode, in which sharing mayhem and the proportionally resulting laughter reaches its maximum.

FRACT OSC is a magic mix of music, puzzles and exploration.

A Little to the Left is a tidy up-meets-zen mood experience capable of putting at peace the most troubled of hearts. Delicate colours and relaxing music help concentrate on the one objective of the game: to reorganize both the outside and the inside of ourselves. The occasional block in the resolution of puzzles can be solved by using the Let It Be feature or looking at the solution on the note pad: these are two perfect options to guarantee an impeccable fluidity to the experience and to give the players an array of possibilities when facing apparently insurmountable situations.

Lords of the Fallen will be, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most divisive soulslike ever. On one hand, Hexworks has produced a brilliant spiritual successor to the original Dark Souls, enhanced by an outstanding map design and excellent innovations related to exploration; on the other, the team has badly stumbled in the challenging management of enemy progression and balance, thereby partially undermining the very best features of the game. It's a pity, because even though its flaws are severe, this game truly has a unique soul and we believe it has the potential to captivate a dedicated community. With a bit more time and some reconsideration, however, it could have reached even greater heights.

Ghostwire Tokyo is a good game, with an interesting combat system and a very peculiar atmosphere, enclosed in a bland open world. We would have gladly preferred a smaller/linear map in exchange for more interesting contents and missions. Luckily, cast and main missions won't disappoint those looking for a fun weird story full of phantoms and shinto stuff.

Despicable Me: Minion Rush is, hands down, one of the best endless runner games available today on mobile.

The Denpa Men 3 is the best entry in the bizarre franchise, hands down. Genius Sorority has fixed most of the issues we found in the previous installments and refined the overall experience.

Stick it to the Man is a fun, enjoyable adventure, full of crazy characters and puzzles to solve.

Quotation forthcoming.
