RAGE 2 delivers an absolutely stunning shooter experience, with nice weapons and powers to unlock, but it's also really short for an open world game, way too easy at medium difficulty and not so fun when it comes time to drive across the map.

Quotation forthcoming.

There's no revolution in this new installment of Team 17's beloved franchise, but tons of fun and crazy gadgets. New features need a good improvement if they are meant to stick around, but single and multiplayer contents will make fans happy for a bit.

Transformers Legends is a fantastic tribute to the fans of the classic series, since it's packed with tons of awesome artworks and beautiful tunes. What a pity the gameplay is not that solid when it comes to actually fight your opponents.

Quotation forthcoming.

Mighty Switch Force! 2 is just too similar to the previous entry: it's a great game as well, albeit short, but it's more an alternative than a true sequel.

Star Trucker is as valuable as any video game that offers something unique and unparalleled. It’s distinctive, bold, well-crafted, and designed with a specific audience in mind. However, if your sole interest is in driving, you might want to consider other options.

Skylanders Battlecast is an interesting diversion of the main game. The game's mechanics are easy, but they also offer some degree of strategy. The only real problem is the random mana, which can destroy even the strongest deck.

Encased is a very classic isometric RPG that harks back to early Fallout. There is great care taken in the game world and fans of the genre will get lost in it. It's a shame that the combat system isn't particularly layered.

Tandem: A Tale of Shadows is a good game, which will be liked by lovers of puzzle games and those of gothic fairy tales.

Alpha Protocol is a strange game. No matter how good and deep is the rpg part, with a well told story, it's almost completely broke when it's time to shoot and sneak. The A.I. is so cheesy and ramdom that completely make you forget your class and skills.

Mix together two simplified versions of XCOM and Crusader Kings and you'll get Massive Chalice, an enjoyable game where unfortunately some aspects are not at the same level as others.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl we have two distinct souls: the strict remake and the new features. It's still a pleasure to explore Sinnoh, but a more ILCA should have done more to blend all the new stuff and the core game.

It's still a great fighting game, made even better by the various changes (and, obviously, the 60 fps). Unfortunately, the netcode is lacking, and it's hard to see the community thrive when the developers blatantly ignored the multiple advantages of a rollback netcode once again. Truly a pity: this fighting game deserved a long life online. As it is, it's just great fanservice for Jojo Fans.

Even with some unfortunate flaws, Big Bucket last game is a charming and fun space adventure, a good homage to the science fiction of the 1950s.

The Flame in the Flood is a rogue-like survival game with great attention for exploration and inventory management.

Pathfinder Kingmaker is a rough gem, which would deserve a sequel only to see developed the many ideas it contains but which are not as refined as they should have been. Vast but too much derivative, at times it seems a mod of Pillars of Eternity.

Yooka-Laylee is the real evolution of Banjoo-Kazooie: the coloured and funny 3D platforms are back!

Fist Puncher is a great game with some flaws.

Last Year: The Nightmare shows a good potential, but is desperately needs additional content.

First Light is an enjoyable but dull DLC. It's enough stating that competitive online arenas are more challenging and fun than story mode.

Forgetting the unplayable new cameras that should have made this PES a new beginning, what this 3DS edition offers is the same, familiar "PS2 version" gameplay that made the series so popular. Shame for the lack of any online multiplayer mode.

We Are Football 2024 is a good step in the right direction. It aims to be a more manageable and user-friendly version of Football Manager, but it needs more realism in the simulation and a better match engine.

Unstoppable Gorg combines innovation and tradition in the tower defense sub-genre, featuring a complex single player campaign and paying tribute to the '50s sci-fi movies.

Mario Strikers: Battle League Football gloriously mixes football and side-scrolling beat’em up mechanics: it’s fun and deep. The low numbers of modalities and characters, and the uncertainties in the through balls, prevent it from reaching excellence. For sure, with Mario Tennis Aces, it’s the best Mario Sports game of the HD era.

Perhaps TT Games should have made an all new game based on Fantastic Beasts rather than remastering LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-7. Despite being still quite fun, the old formula didn't age well and suffers from bugs old and new, lack of voice acting and weird, counterintuitive puzzles.

Even if it's one of the best Pokémon clones on the App Store, Micromon does nothing to look original, inspired or polished.

Shady Part of Me is a very well crafted game, enhanced by its high standards of design and an entertaining challenge.

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.

If you were expecting an adventure about heroes and redemption, great characters and an interesting plot, this probably is not the droid you are looking for. But while Battlefront misses the opportunity to be a great single player experience, it fulfills in authenticity and immersion. It's one of the most powerful Star Wars experiences, one that will give you great memories for a long long time.

The new Stellaris' expansion lacks interesting new content.

Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain is fun and shines in multiplayer, but it's very limited for single player gamers.

A pretty puzzle adventure game, with a lovely protagonist, an exciting mix of humour and violence. A lot of trial & error restrain the enjoyment somewhat.

9mm is a good third person action with a solid gameplay and an interesting multiplayer. But there are several problems in the design starting from the controls, to the plot and the technical aspects of the game.

War of the Roses is a solid multiplayer experience blessed by fresh and funny combat system and doomed by lack of multiplayer modes. There is a single player too, but it's so thin that it's almost invisible.

An overly simplified simplification that winks at the audience of casual players displeasing the old ones is at the same time the cross and the delight of the new chapter of Disciples. Other than this, the "role-playing" developments of the plot could have been more effective.

Mini Ninjas may not succeed in being the best action adventure out there, but it's perfect if you are looking for a relaxing title, to be played with a smile on your face.

Sega brings back to life Sakura Wars with a new chapter suitable for both old fans and newbies of the series.

Dandara is a small pearl that gives new life to the metroidvanias. It offers interesting mechanics, a fascinating game world and the right level of difficulty.

Evil West features plenty of spectacular, frantic, fun and challenging fights, in which we will be able to exploit a very wide repertoire of moves and weapons to kill hordes of monsters, vampires, werewolves and undeads in the most painful way possible. Unfortunately, everything else is disappointing.

A chapter that lacks originality but would please fans with a new plot and 87 new monsters.

Rainbow Six: Siege is visually poor, technically underpowered and multiplayer only. It's very far from being a great game, but with the right friends could be an heartbreaking fun.

Even if it's less polished than Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, chronoSgear can offer a truly fresh and uncommon experience, that is very different from any other RPG on the App Store. The combat system is clever, while setting and characters are really unusual. With the next updates, we hope Axion Logic will fix the controls and balance the difficulty.

In this iPhone version, Shift 2: Unleashed can't take advantage of the wide iPad screen to maximize its excellent first person driving experience, but the overall results are still excellent in terms of quality: the tilt controls work great, they're completely customizable and there are plenty of races and modes to play with. However, the lack of an online multiplayer is really disappointing.

God of War Collection on PS Vita is without any doubt the worst version of the game, due to many technical problems that are really hard do tolerate on this hardware.

Jump ’n’ Shoot Attack is a fun and addictive old-school action platformer: too bad it’s very thin on content for its price.

Lemma is a little gem where you explore a strange and ethereal world using perfect parkour mechanics, unveiling a mysterious story of parallel worlds. Give it a look and, if you have Oculus Rift, just buy it!

Little Battlers eXperience is a hell of a ride with its colourful visuals, animated cutscenes and over the top plot twists. It becomes a bit grindy and controls feel clunky at times but the awesome customization and variety totally make up for its shortcomings.

Sayonara Umihara Kawase is really challenging but sometimes too much frustrating and repetitive. Also it’s extremely recognizable both for strange locations and wacky enemies. Recommended only for fans and conservative players.

Micro Machines is back with a certain amount of nostalgia and modern business. It's not the best racing on mobile platforms and can become a little annoying with its microtransactions, nevertheless it's also immediate fun for everyone.

Full of Stars is a very inspired mix of endless mechanics and compelling narrative.

Titanfall: Assault is a solid RTS with plenty of units to unlock and upgrade.

Yomawari: The Long Night Collection is a bundle of the two chapters of the series, optimized for nintendo switch.

Pilgrims is a quirky, fun and artistically charming little adventure which pushes players to play over and over again to discover all its possible combinations.

An interesting content more viable for new players.

Submerged: Hidden Depths must be taken for what it is if you really want to appreciate it: a descriptive and calm game, which in every way avoids creating conflicts.

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.

Desta: The Memories Between offers an undoubtedly original experience, a mix of genres and suggestions that uses narration as the glue between increasingly complex strategic clashes, with the roguelite approach to remind us at every moment that a defeat will bring us back to the beginning.

Meet Your Maker is now the standard for sandbox experiences in terms of entertainment, ease of use and scalability. This endlessly repayable dungeon raiding and building experience has the friendliness of Minecraft and the aesthetics and gameplay of Doom and it will hook you.

Tour de France 2023 is a sports sim for dedicated fans on cycling but its tutorials are well made and the learning curve is not steep so it's quite welcoming to new players.

Spirittea keeps its promises, presenting itself as a relaxing and fulfilling adventure, albeit with some issues in its overall rhythm. Cheesemaster Games has done a great job combining a simulative soul with management elements that, together, contribute to create an enjoyable experience both for fans of these genres, both for those who have never tried similar titles.

Zenless Zone Zero stands at the moment as one of the best expressions of a genre often subject to fierce criticism, almost always justified. From an artistic point of view, the work done by miHoYo with the game is truly amazing, and every single sequence turns out to be a thrilling spectacle, thanks to an extraordinary use of cel shading and a direction that is perfectly aware of its prerogatives. The fights are as simple as they are frantic, they certainly return satisfaction even if the challenge is lacking for much of the currently available content and the action, also due to the too short missions and small and often repeated scenarios, soon tends to become repetitive.

Minami Lane lets us manage a road, transporting us for a few hours to a dreamy Japanese-style city. Far from being limited by its narrow scope, Minami Lane is a solid and deep management game, capable of posing interesting challenges while still maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.

Quotation forthcoming.

RuneQuest: Warlords is a turn-based war strategy game with solid, well-tested gameplay, but it ultimately lacks the tools it needs to truly shine. The mission design never really surprises, and the game never quite reaches a suitably epic pace. On the audiovisual side, there are too many rough edges as well, especially when it comes to sound effects and voice acting. An opportunity that was only partly realized.

Want some brainless intense action rpg filled by all the classic clichè of this genre? Crimson Alliance may be your perfect game to play, but it's surely far from excellence.

Table Top Racing is a great arcade racing game, very challenging and also packed with some awesome, console-like graphics.

House of Ashes is a decent step forward for a series that also requires adjustments to hit the target. The third chapter of the Dark Pictures Anthology grows better narratively and in the writing of dialogues.

The first chapter offers a story beautifully written, a complex world and characters that feel human. In the end, however, nothing really happens, and true conflicts are only foreshadowed.

Quotation forthcoming.

Armillo is an impressive puzzle platform which reminded us of Super Mario Galaxy, Sonic and Metroid in a very good way. It's fun and smart with a perfect length and tons of cool unlockables.

Wii Fit U is an improvement over the original formula, with some nice new modes and the interesting Fit Meter that gives the chance to get the game at a discounted price.

Despite a modest visual, Majesty 2 - The Fantasy Kingdom grants hours of gameplay and a fun multiplayer.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution does not bring many innovations compared to the prequel, but in its new edition for PlayStation VR 2 it emerges as an excellent survival horror thanks to precise controls, excellent graphics and intense action.

It's a shame that TT Games didn't put the most interesting features of the HD versions of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes on the Nintendo 3DS. So what we got is a simple "more of the same", with more powers and characters but the same old gameplay you very well know.

Forgotten Memories is a derivative but interesting survival horror that really doesn't feel right on touch screen.

One year after the release of Borderlands 3, the fourth dlc ends a journey made of fan service and emotions. A splendid journey for all fans, much less for those unfamiliar with the past of the series.

Honey I joined a Cult is a Base Building game like no other. Its mechanics are very familiare but the outcomes and the silliness that come with them are a guaranteed laugh.

It's not the most original endless runner out there, but Banana Kong does everything right, being a funny, good-looking game available at a low price.

Joust Legend delivers an original experience, packed with a good number of events and items with no IAPs at all. What a pity the gameplay is a bit limited.

Trials of St. Lucia is the second expansion to Dante's Inferno and it's better than Dark Forest. This DLC offers a full featured combat editor with which players can create, upload and share created trials with other players across the world and a online co-operative gameplay for two players with a new character. But not everything is perfect.

No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise alternates between a unique art direction, full of great moments, to some technical flaws that are hard to swallow, especially considering that the game runs on a PlayStation 3. The very simple structure, which uses various tricks to break an otherwise absurd monotony (ten boss fights in a row?) should have been supported by a deeper gameplay and, furthermore, by better graphics.

Dragon Quest Treasures is a slow burn and it may take a while to find its stride, but in the end this exhilarating adventure is diminished by its own ambitions.

The problem with Mirror of fate is not related to the discontinuity with Igarashi's Castlevania, which is not a bad thing. But average level design, underdeveloped combat system and a general lack of refinement makes this game an acceptable but surely not unforgettable entry on the series.

Despite a few new ideas, which don't always work as expected, Dead Rising 4 does not show huge improvements to the original formula: It's a fun game with a bunch of problems and nothing more.

Beyond: Two Souls is back on PlayStation 4 with an enhanced graphic and the same interesting and emotional story, representing a great opportunity for those who didn’t play it two years ago on PS3.

Hatoful Boyfriend is a must have for anyone who is a fan of visual novels. Plus, the PlayStation version has cross buy, cross save and full Italian translation.

The Surge is a metallic Souls-like with his own identity. It’s not perfect, but it worth the price.

The cloud version of Control for Nintendo Switch represents on the one hand a fantastic opportunity, on the other hand, an experiment with clear pros and cons, capable of a more or less valid experience depending on the quality and stability of the connection.

Peppa Pig: World Adventures is a game designed for children and Peppa Pig fans. It is a very simple experience that has very little to say to anyone else.

Tricky Towers is a fun puzzle game with a good level of challenge, especially in multiplayer mode. It is a bit short in single player mode.

This horror experience infuses deep feelings of fear, both through great sound and images. However there should have been bigger interactions and extended puzzle solutions.

Serious Sam 3: BFE is a fast-paced FPS old school, for the love of PC gamers.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War introduces some interesting new gameplay elements that improve the experience, and can be played solo or with three other people in a very funny co-op mode.

Despite a few gameplay quirks which don't always feel fun, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is a true Final Fantasy at its heart with an engaging plot and a decent amount of depth. If you manage to outlook its old-gen nature, you will find a good action RPG which makes up for the latest false steps in the franchise.

As a compilation itself, Marvel Vs Capcom: Origins makes no sense since it is not showing any true origin to the beloved franchise. Both game have not aged very well, still showing the same balance issues from the past. It's a well done package, but designed only for nostalgic gamers and curious people.

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

Unbeatable is an extraordinary game to see and to hear: the animations, the style that looks like it came straight out of a ’90s anime, the colorful imagery of a world where music has no right to exist. And yet it does exist: loud, punk, rock, rebellious, coming from deep within, and at other times it embraces you, gently and warmly. However, the sum of its parts is far below what one would expect. It is too imprecise to be a good rhythm game: the note charts are confusing, input windows are off, and the feedback from the notes leaves much to be desired. On top of that, even after such a long wait and last month’s delay, the bug and glitch situation is still far from ideal. With a heavy heart over this missed opportunity, we hope that Unbeatable can at least serve as a foundation for something greater, through continuous updates, additional tracks, and new options.
