Though it's paved with courage and good intentions, the road of experimentation in videogames hides many, too many pitfalls. Ivy the Kiwi? comes as a fresh, delicate and dreamy experience, it's supported by a series of nice artistic choices and furthermore the price is very affordable. The downside, in the Wii version, is represented by the controls, that sometimes may ask you more speed and accuracy of what the Wii-mote is capable of.

Pro Cycling Manager - Tour De France 2011 comes to us with better collisions, better animations and a new system of sponsorship. The result is a believable cycling simulation, still not perfect but way better than previous chapters.

This is the perfect successor to The Guardian of the Light.

Ara tries to reinvent the 4X wheel with a really exciting gameplay system. However, it lacks dynamism, a more interesting diplomatic and trade system and a bit of nastiness that makes us feel the political and social weight of our choices. If they raise it well, it can become an unforgettable game.

More than just a game, BIT.TRIP BEAT is an enjoyable experience that combines sounds and images, encouraging the players to improve their performance through a series of trials. The four stages available in the basic version are well balanced, nice to see and full of sounds and colors.

It's hard to separate the two souls of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, because it's glaringly obvious how the one put together by Konami is a mere commercial operation, but at the same time it represents the only way to play a series of great classics of undeniable value.

A short but intense VR experience. A must have for the real Batman fans.

Too easy and too short...but sparkling dialogues and a brilliant interpretation will move every Back to the Future fan.

Above the Law is a sudden change of pace for this third season of The Walking Dead. Our hope is with the last two chapters the series can return on the right track.

Despite new well constructed charachters, the gameplay is too easy and the absence of great innovations is conspicuous. But don't loose your heart: maybe it's the prelude to something better.

For the ones who don't desire to lose themselves behind the social aspect of the game, the additions are limited and generally not to the height of those introduced in the previous two expansions.

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.

The Outlast Trials reinvents the saga's formula for cooperative multiplayer. During the first few games one can enjoy the level design and cooperation. Soon, however, repetitiveness and limited gameplay take over. Moreover, in single player it is too difficult to complete any mission.

Red Faction: Armageddon kills freedom in the name of action and brings back the serie into the dark and menacing caves of Mars. The result is an action title full of potential but punished by a poor level design.

Everybody's Golf VR is hands down one of the most immersive sports game ever made: however, it demands some true dedication to be mastered and it's really poor on content, so it's hard to recommend it to everybody as the title suggests.

The new expansion of The Sims makes us work. To achieve the ambitions of our Sims as firefighter, tattooist, ghost hunter among the others is fortunately always gratifying, as being able to finally follow the Sims while their working. A must-have integration for all the fans of the series.

A truly surprising DLC, and one that reaches the same peak of Far Harbor, in a completely different way. It's fun, full of new interesting maps and characters, and it finally gives you the chance to become a raider leader. Definitely a good way to close the lid on Fallout 4.

Beautiful girls lost in a post-apocalyptic, dark sci-fi world full of mechanical AI controlled entities: this is Crymachina plot and while it surely looks promising, its combat and structure makes for a average small-to-medium budget ARPG.

A solid porting with a good amount of content. Portal Knights for Nintendo Switch is improved by the new touch system, and despite some frame rate issues is able to provide a lot of fun for several hours.

Inazuma Eleven 2 is a weird adventure which will especially appeal fans of jRPGs and Japanese animation. It's very similar to its prequel and share the same lackluster visuals, however its peculiar "combat system" and fun plot make out for it.

TopSpin 2K25 is a world class experience, but Hangar 13 will have to work hard to improve on the depth and variety of game modes and get as many top 10 finishes as possible.

Call of Duty: Black Ops for Nintendo DS comes as a stand-alone title, for those who may possess the dual-screen handheld console only and sometimes need a bit of "hardcore" FPS action. The touch controls work good and the graphics are well done, but the strength of the game is the presence of several modes, both in single and in multiplayer.

Thanks to a good plot and some original ideas, Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms is a good exponent of the genre of action RPG, solid and fun. Graphically valid and scalable, for maximum details requires a great gaming system.

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

Emio - The Smiling Man is the ideal episode to introduce a new Nintendo detective game to modern audiences, enriched by the fact that this saga had never been published outside Japan.

Titan Souls brings a series of difficult challenges, but it always plays honestly. You will die a lot, you will curse a lot, but you will definitely enjoy it a lot, especially if you like the old-fashioned trial and error dynamics.

This is the adventure that many were waiting for. It can't innovate the genre but worth to be played from the start until the end. It has a good plot, tough puzzles and wonderful settings son don't miss it.

Tetris on 3DS comes with a plethora of options, modes and minigames, both in single and in multiplayer. While not every mode is perfect and the game remains below Tetris DS in terms of quality, this is still a must for every Tetris fan.

Hotshot Racing looks like a dream come true to those who lived the golden age of the arcade racing games of early '90, but shallow gameplay and bland track design are keeping it far away from those glorious milestones.

Alien: Rogue Incursion is not a perfect game, and with a bit more refinement, it could have become something much deeper. Nevertheless, it’s an enjoyable title that we recommend to fans of Alien, who will have the chance to face a xenomorph up close thanks to virtual reality. Unfortunately, this encounter is unlikely to scare players, as Rogue Incursion is an action game that never seems to aim at truly terrifying its audience.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles for Nintendo Switch is as an extremely faithful tie-in to the original anime, thanks to excellent cel-shaded graphics that gives the best during the cutscenes. The combat system is nice and the Versus mode can count on a few more characters, but the campaign remains a missed opportunity.

Foretales is a distinctive and entertaining card-based narrative adventure. The game mechanics that blend exploration, resource management, and combat are always intriguing and varied, if occasionally a bit more complex than they should be. Plot, characters, and setting are interesting to discover, and the game structure is designed to make replaying over and over enjoyable.

Pocket League Story is unfortunately one of the weakest Kairosoft's "Story" games: too simple, limited, easy and repetitive, even the most passionate fans of the genre will put it down pretty quickly.

Sniper Elite III is still a solid and fun sniper shooter, and the Ultimate Edition includes all the DLCs. What a pity they're short and dull.

The Thaumaturge is presented as an RPG, but you should not expect great possibilities for character interpretation or a plot that at any moment can be heavily influenced by our choices. If this is not a problem, however, what remains is an excellent game with an interesting plot, which transports us to one of the best cities seen in a video game.

Starlink: Battle for Atlas is a surprising experience. Ubisoft Toronto created a rich game, plenty of contents and sutable for all ages. Unfortunately, it lacks in variety, but could be a good base for a new series.

Resident Evil 6 is a strange but enjoyable experience. A lot of contents and more than 25 hours of gameplay, but the recipe cooked by Capcom is sometimes indigestible, too long and far-fetched, repetitive and derivative, with awkward camera and a cheesy storyline. A good shooter after all, ma not as perfect as it must be.

It doesn't break any new ground, but The Walking Dead: No Man's Land is an enjoyable strategy game with base building elements.

Lineage 2: Revolution checks all the standard boxes in the MMORPG canon. It's nothing new or particularly inspired and it struggles a little with its PC heritage in terms of interface and controls, but if you're looking for a (really) standard MMORPG on mobile platform this is one of the best choices around.

​Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia is a nice addition to the evergrowing market of gacha games, if only because you don't draw characters but weapons. Sadly the gameplay becomes repetitive all too quickly.

Umiro is a an example of good puzzle design applied on a charming surface. It's a little monotonous but a great solution on mobile devices.

Outcasters is a very fun multiplayer game that lacks content.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope International is being released in the shadow of Final Fantasy XIII which is however much less traditional than this Tri-Ace release of the acclaimed sci-fi series and its JRPGesque features: cities, quests, optional content, secret bosses, lengthy and elaborate dungeons. Although not standing out visually speaking, Star Ocean: The Last Hope offers an enjoyable plot and interesting characters together with an outstanding battle system and quite a lot of features which make it a long-lasting and compelling game.

Just Cause 3 is “just” Just Cause 2, but bigger, though unfortunately not better. We can destroy pretty much everything the way we like using the enhanced grapple hook and physics but storyline missions are too repetitive and the flaws are the same as those from the second chapter.

A compelling mini-game compilation with the right dose of funny things to do. More than this it uses all the features of the PlayStation Vita and it's completely free.

​Masters of Anima is a funny and appealing game but it has a bunch of control flaws.

Total War: Pharaoh is a Total War without infamy or praise, one might say. It's one of those chapters that works but doesn't seem to add anything significant to the discourse carried on by the series.

Superliminal plays with perspective in order to offer a game entirely based on the altered perception of reality. The depth of the puzzles is fluctuating and the longevity is not particularly extensive, but remains overall a pleasant experience to enjoy.

Potion Craft has full respect for the player’s intellect, giving her all the necessary instruments to stimulate her curiosity, without holding her hand. The management of the alchemical and entrepreneurial journey is up to the player, with total freedom in deciding the adventure’s pace. Niceplay Games’ title offers complex challenges to those who want to walk the alchemical path in its full extent, but Potion Craft can also be a delightful workshop simulator for those who don’t want to delve beneath its surface: it’s understood that the creation of the Magnum Opus is not an objective everybody can achieve.

Maybe this is not the best motocross and off-road racing game, but with its good separate bike and rider control scheme and its dynamic ground morphing system, MX vs. ATV Reflex is one of the best product of this genre.

Song of Horror is a good Halloween game. It lacks originality and some game systems would have to be reviewed, but all in all it's not so bad.

Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign does a pretty good job in putting two popular franchises together, and the result is a fun, challenging match-3 puzzle game.

This new DLC does not succeed in becoming a must have for every gamer out there and case west ends up being reccomended just to Dead Rising hardcore fans.

Asphalt 9: Legends is the best arcade racer on mobile. The game comes with incredible graphics, lots of cars and tracks, and a huge career.

Monument Valley 3 is a masterpiece, once again. After two chapters in which it seemed ustwo had explored every possibility, this new adventure proves that there are still territories to be discovered, as well as the limpid potential of an experience that could even transcend the boundaries of our smartphones and find new places to conquer.

After twelve months the strategic-RPG from Daedalic comes back, but once again gameplay doesn’t hit the mark.

Insurgency is a rich and deep tactical first person shooter. Something is still missing but that something isn't gameplay or teamwork.

Disgaea D2 remains exactly where Disgaea 4 stands. With a few innovations and some missing elements, D2 delivers the hundreds of hours you can expect from the franchise, but a forgettable story and well known but old mechanics can't fully satisfy.

Paper Monsters Recut is a cute, solid platformer with a feel for exploration.

DARQ: Complete Edition is a disturbing title and for this reason also incredibly valid: you will fall in love with its puzzles.

Graphics aren't its strongest selling point, but if you can overcome its shortcomings, you will enjoy a really good game, avoiding frustration which may prevent you from walking through the first part of the game.

A real gem in the VR space, What the Bat is distilled fun with just a pair of baseball bats and goofy characters. This game is an example of how great game design wins over fancy graphics or physics and is able to create genuine fun.

A great indie plenty of depth, choices and fun: one of the best mix of genres in a long time.

Straight from the early 00s, GRIP: Combat Racing is a fast and paced futuristic racing game that will please every nostalgic of the arcade genre in the style of Rollcage.

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

I am Setsuna is as vintage as it can get and manages to recall what we did love about the JRPG genre in the '90. It is however very low budget and comparatively expensive. It also tries to tell a good story at a somewhat frantic pace in repetitive locations and throughout extremely simple fights.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 comes unchanged from last year, with the same game modes and the same gameplay. If you already own the previous edition, then don't even bother; otherwise, this is still the best soccer you can play on PSP.

Hitman – Episode 5: Colorado gives to the players four targets but very few opportunities to choose. The map is different from the previous locations, even though the level design is quite linear.

9 Years of Shadow is not a true metroidvania and should not be approached as such. It is a scrolling action game that is linear most of the time and does not have much content, as you can get 100% in less than ten hours. The combo system is very simple, with few moves available, and attacks from a distance are far too powerful. If you are a fan of the genre you might give it a chance, as soon as you find it in a price range you think is appropriate, but don't expect it to be your new benchmark in terms of quality.

Even though not as good as the original, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is a good sequel and a very fun game.

Despite an arcachic trial and error gameplay, Famicom Detective Club is your best chance to know two Nintendo classics.

The new Harvest Moon installment brings a lot of fun and hours of entertainment with new ideas, new visuals and the same "farmer wannabe" gameplay.

Space Marine comes as the fulfillment of a dream for fans of the universe created in the late '80s by Games Workshop. It's a third person shooter with combat elements, indubitably inspired by Gears of War but still capable of showing some personality. The single player campaign, which lasts eight to ten hours depending on the level of difficulty and number of attempts, is very well told, even with some exciting plot twists in the final stages. Definitely not a masterpiece, but as a solid and engaging action game that will win you over with its quality.

Fun and entertaining, Guns Gore & Cannoli delivers a good taste of the old days shooters. Its problems are length and no extra things to do once the experience ends.

While undoubtedly a good game, Sky Crawlers is indeed is a stripped down version of Ace Combat, with simplified gameplay, decent graphics and a kinda short story mode. Just don't even try to play it with the awkward default motion sensor controls.

Pendragon excels in mixing procedural storytelling with a roguelike structure and the fascinating story of the last days of King Arthur, but it gets a little repetitive in some combat moments.

Binary Domain is a nice surprise. Shooting mechanics are really well-devised, with an astounding mecha design and boss fight. Unfortunately the light rpg squad aspect of the game doesn't work properly.
