Breathedge is an atypical survival, which tries to do what subnautica did years ago, replacing water with outer space and with a non-sense narrative. Fun and stimulating in exploration, much less successful in its narrative component.

A good strategy game which suffers the presence of other great alternatives that came out during this year, and It's not able to stand out on any aspect.

THQ Nordic brings back a cult of the early 2000s to the screens. Destroy all humans! that's all you remembered, with even more.

Koei is back in action with its last hack 'n slash chapter based on Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors heroes: and is a frenzy for all the fans around the world with the same-old-boring-based gameplay!

Fotonica brings a minimal design with an original concept, with a level of depth that you wouldn't imagine for a single-button game. The PC version is now also enjoyable with up to other three players, thanks to the improvement to the local split-screen multiplayer.

Aragami is pure stealth, designed to satisfy fans of the genre. The game is quite repetitive but the whole experience is good to play, both in single-player and co-op. There are also nice visuals, even though some technical issues must be solved.

Inspired by an old glory of the past such as Command & Conquer: Generals, Act of aggression is one of the best RTS on the market, compelling and technically well-kept. Unfortunately, the interface is a little nonintuitive.

LEGO Rock Band is both for kids and experienced players, since the expert level is still a tough one. It's a really cute game and well done as an overall, but there should have been more songs, especially considering the price and the fact that you will be asked to play them over and over before you get to the end of the single player campaign.

No More Heroes 3 runs nice and smooth on PS5 with fantastic combat, nice characters and crazy bosses, but the game world is still terrible to explore.

Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light drops the cinematic look of the franchise for a much more traditional gameplay. It's an halfmade attempt however because many features are excessively out-of-date and players find theirselve struggling more against an unfriendly game-design than the monsters inhabiting the world of Brandt and his friends. With an excellent visual and art direction as its best feats, Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light is a JRPG which will appeal nostalgic players especially, but it is nowhere close to the quality provided by Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies.

Crush 3D is a solid Puzzle/Platformer which lacks the ingenuity of the masterpieces of the genre. It favors trial and error against pure smartness, and it requires a lot of patience; but it knows how to repay the most dedicated players.

Shantae and the Seven Sirens returns with the fifth chapter of the franchise: a few new things and all of them work properly on PlayStation 4.

Although Prince of Persia: Warrior Within looks astonishing and smooth on iPhone 3GS, the same cannot be said for the previous iDevices, in which the game is affected by continuous loadings and less incisive graphics. A spiteful camera and unintuitive controls makes too hard jumping on the platforms, climbing on pilasters or running on the walls.

The Sojourn is based on an interesting concept, although the game has some narrative limitations. The puzzles are nice and pleasant to solve, but in some phases a greater level of challenge would have been better.

It's hard to find a fitting category for Spookware in the video game market, and this is a good thing. Surely, WarioWare is a clear inspiration for this game, but Spookware is also something different and new, with a strange atmosphere that can be perfect for Halloween.

Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent manages to bring a classical JRPG into the gacha realm with a convincing solution, between story and character management. Its combat system remains deep and strategic, although the distortions of this mobile genre comes into play after a while.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy could've been so much more, but in the end it's just a generic chapter of the series which lacks challenge and ends pretty quickly.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is no doubt a good game, but fails to deliver all of its promises. Combat mechanics are tailored for core gamers, but besides that the game fails to deliver a correct balance of old and new features, but first of all it's too derivative.

The Invincible is exactly what it wants to be: an extremely focused narrative adventure. The story is great and the characters interesting. Expect a linear narrative at its heart, with multiple endings.

With Street Fighter IV out on the shelves, Battle Fantasia couldn't have found a worse time to be published. Most hardcore gamers will though like the deep and solid 2d gameplay, once they'll have mastered it.

Dungeon Siege III is a linear, solid good game when played in coop mode, but a little boring when played in single player mode.

Potatoman Seeks the Troof is a short, evil but enjoyable platform. Probably you'll not find any truth at the end of the road, but you'll have a pretty nice (and frustrating) experience.

At first, Combo Queen was an almost unplayable game, but after a big update it has become an enjoyable blend of endless runner and rhythm game mechanics.

Even if it's a bit shallow as regards the situations and level design, Venture Kid it's an action platform that provides a good amount of challenge to everyone. A real old fashioned, nostalgia driven videogame for mobile user with an old school attitude.

It's the same game you can find on other platforms but with a lot of technical problems.

Naraka: Bladepoint is definitely one of the best titles that China has brought to screens in the last period. An original interpretation of the Battle Royale genre that takes advantage of the classic strengths of the multiplayer experience with many players, but which innovates in key aspects such as the combat system.

Undisputed brings boxing back to videogames with a passion that’s evident in every detail. Created by true fans of the sport, the game features a large roster of fighters and a refined combat system. Visually and technically it’s solid. However, some technical glitches and balance issues hold it back slightly. Still, it remains a highly recommended title for boxing enthusiasts.

Wargame lovers come here! To End all Wars is for you! Complex, articulate, and full of details to consider to make every move.

Unfortunatly the nice ideas aren't enought to save Drifting Lands. Despite good GDR elements, SHMUP gameplay isn't as its best and enemies and stages are completely forgettable.

Conway: Disappearance at Dahlia View is an enjoyable thriller: it makes good use of its sources of inspiration but it doesn't dare enough to be truly unique.

Despite stereotypes and gameplay flaws, Lost Dimension manages to be a fresh and intriguing experience.

Cultist Simulator is intriguing and full of potential, but even flawed and frustrating.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II for the Nintendo Wii is definitely better than the first episode, both for graphics and controls. There has been no attempt to implement some real time lightsaber action in the game, however the character can execute dozens of moves and that's definitely fun.

Supernauts is one of the most interesting simulation games for iOS, since it introduces some fresh, potentially great 3D puzzle solving elements.

Sublevel Zero is a great idea, but lacks content and has some design problems.

Starpoint Gemini 2 on Xbox One is not a flawless porting but manages to maintain all its core. It's an uncommon kind of game on console, and thus it's somehow precious, but requires commitment to be satisfactory.

Joe Dever's Lone Wolf Console Edition is the same charming mix of gamebook and RPG that we so much appreciated on mobile and PC.

Ace Combat: Joint Assault somewhat tries to bring the franchise up to date without being totally successful. New multiplayer features are interesting and add to the overall length of the game, on the other side gameplay is still the same and perhaps a bit too much simple and repetitive. Fans of the franchise will love the excellent visuals and wide range of missions, which make this installment a good start for new players and veterans alike.

Battle Worlds: Kronos delivers an "old school" strategic experience, packed with lots of missions and game modes, but it's also very hard to approach.

With too much suggestion to solve the enigma and a narration not so evocative, Black Mirror 2 tells a story without rhythm and rubs out the challenge.

Old Psychonauts fans will surely enjoy Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, which is a good virtual reality experience. But it is also really short and could have been a deeper from a narrative point of view.

Namco Bandai's response to the overwhelming power of Monster Hunter is certainly worth of attention, as Gods Eater Burst delivers a compelling story, plenty of items and weapons and one hundred missions in which you'll fight against some enormous creatures using your shape-shifting weapon. The game is fun and engaging, but suffers from cumbersome controls due to the lack of a second analog stick, that forces you to move the camera using the d-pad.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is a spectacular game to see on PlayStation 4. It has several flaws in terms of plots, companions and quests but technically is very good.

Swarm is a little, neat game which develops an old concept in a really interesting and funny way. It's addictive and enojable but too much frustrating at times to appeal a wider audience.

Heaven's Vault is a bold adventure, based on an interesting concept that would have deserved a more organic and effective realization.

Eternal Legacy brings a combat system which is classic and works well, impressive graphics and a very dense and long story. Of course it would have been better with a more original and genuine style, as well as a major depth of the characters and a deeper plot. But for just 5€ iPhone users can enjoy a game which is, together with Chaos Rings, one of the best JRPG's on the App Store.

This is a good adventure with a very satisfying investigation system. Sadly its combat mechanics, the variety of the setting and the technical compartment lack quality.

Little Nightmares III is the usual small, exquisite nightmare built around the fears of two children escaping from a world of repulsive “grown-ups.” The most tangible novelty is the online co-op mode, which allows two players to work together by using each character’s unique abilities. However, in trying to find a balance between a game that can be completed solo and one where cooperation truly matters, Little Nightmares III never pushes this feature too far, it’s enjoyable, but never essential. Beyond that, it’s a repetition of moments and situations we’ve already experienced in the previous installments. We would have liked to see more of Supermassive Games’ own touch on this universe, rather than the reaffirmation of established formulas.

Imangi Studios and Disney renew their collaboration for Temple Run: Oz, but the game is basically the same we already know and played thousands of times.

The Order of the Giants is a painfully missed opportunity. A DLC that is undoubtedly well put together, consistent with the style and tone of Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle — at times even daring, with a darker, more unsettling atmosphere — but one that suffers from a very short lifespan and a chronic lack of truly memorable moments. The new puzzles are enjoyable and well designed, the new areas are excellently crafted (though many are unfortunately underground and thus feel rather closed-in), and there’s even a solid final battle, but it’s all over in just a few hours. And MachineGames is asking €20 for it. Perhaps a bit too much for so little. Hopefully, a second DLC will come along that can elevate and build upon this first attempt.

A roguelite like you’ve never seen before, combining the grotesque vision of The Binding of Isaac with some of the mechanics from creature-collecting games like Pokémon. Morsels are fascinating creatures that evolve, grow stronger, and then die in a very short life cycle, perfectly reflecting the syncopated rhythm of the runs in this irresistible and unfathomable ascent to the heavens against the hedonistic cats who have taken over the world. Morsels is an indecipherable creature, speaking a language all its own, but if you make the effort to understand it, it can be a lot of fun.

A new multiplayer online fps, a crazy way to play against other players. It's not really a masterpiece but surely you can obtain fun from every single match.

Kids in love with Minecraft will probably enjoy the story told by Telltale.

The lack of content is the main and biggest Pilotwings Resort's problem; more a tech demo than a full game, this is a disappointing return for a glorious Nintendo franchise.

On Kinect, Fruit Ninja is a nice experience that show its repetitiveness really too quickly, and at the 800 MP price point results hard to recommend.

Knight Squad finds its strength in its simplicity and intuitive structure. Supported by a good number of variations, the game flows really smooth and pleasantly, even if it can't last for too long. Obviously, the multiplayer is practically mandatory.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts take the series to another level.

A Musical Story is a mesmerizing audiovisual experience. Even if not completely capable of involving us in its narration, we were constantly struck by the world it is capable not only to create, but also to recall.

The 3rd Birthday is not a true Parasite Eve sequel: it does not continue the original story of the saga, and it also has a gameplay different from the predecessors. But the same is a great action game, with lots of customization options, a good control system and some good RPG elements that enhance the game.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is the souls-lite that inherits game mechanics from many video games, to offer something new.

No Man's Sky is a unique experience dampened by many shortcomings. It's a game which manages to offer a wide universe to explore through shallow mechanics, exceptional freedom inside a mind-boggingly repetitive structure. Hello Games might have developed the most inconsistent game of all time.

Mittens is another good job from Disney, funny and full of puzzle and platform schemes but more linear than other similar productions.

Dropchord delivers an intense, compelling audio visual experience, and it's pretty original in terms of touch controls, but it's also hard to master and for the wrong reasons.

Grand Slam Tennis 2 is not a flawless game, especially if compared to the excellent Top Spin 4, but it is clearly a good step in a right direction. Innovative controls and the possibility to play in all of the four main tournaments make it a choice to take seriously in consideration by tennis fans.

Beat Cop is a very nice strategic adventure that tells a great truth: life's hard, it's full of choices and you can't save everyone. What will you do if you have to decide between the greater good and a personal benefit?

This puzzle game in VR has an emotional story about what's big and what's small told through easy to understand puzzles and with clever use of virtual reality.

An action adventure that inherits mechanics from God of War, For Honor and Souls, a surprise for May 2025.

Gauntlet is good for coop fun. In you can’t play with friends you miss all the fun.

Detective Pikachu is a weird entry in the Pokémon franchise, especially because it somehow works: this crazy noir version of Pikachu is brilliant, however we can't tell the same about the game itself.

After two toned-down episodes, The Walking Dead: Michonne finds its ending with an enjoyable third one.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: All-Star Battle is not a perfect fighting game by any means and shows how inexperienced CyberConnect2 still is in that department. However, it's fun and bizarre as much as the series itself and it delivers tons of fan service by totally understanding its source material.

If you liked Katamari Damacy, you'll definitely have some fun with The Munchables: if you didn't, you'll probably find this game dull, repetitive and far too easy.

Unfortunately, the great idea behind Middle Manager of Justice is partially ruined by its free-to-play nature. Still, it's an amusing and well crafted simulation that get better and better after a slow beginning.

Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered reintroduces a cult game in pure Suda51 style, with its merits and flaws. The remastering work appears a bit listless, sometimes uncertain but above all lacking in attention that aims to file down the many edges of the original game, which was already a bit rough and has obviously not improved with time.

Three completely different but not so deep game modes. To say nothing of the editor.

An excellent quiz game for the evenings with friends and family. Nothing less and nothing more.

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

The Devil’s Daughter pushes deeper the boundaries of crime investigations, however it’s not supported by an appropriate main narrative context. The low quality of action sequences also creates some problems like poor interactions and overblown loading times.

More a spin-off than a reboot, Bugbear destructive racing introduces an innovative track editor, and great fun... but no real Ridge Racer feeling.

Bill Killem is a funny endless action platform game, but it's also a little bit too hard to enjoy in the long run.

Guardians of the Galaxy is a very enjoyable game that suffers from quirky controls and a lack of variety.

If you are looking for a football game with an arcade feeling while you are on the go, then FIFA 19 on Nintendo Switch is what you need.

A good game that lacks the personality needed to excel.

Once Human excels at practically nothing, yet it is a thoroughly convincing free-to-play. Thanks to a map packed with points of interest, adrenaline-pumping and immediate combat, and crafting that is never too overwhelming, even those who usually steer clear of survival games might find Starry Studio's offering interesting. Unfortunately, the AI is woefully inadequate and artistically everything is really far too derivative to generate real interest.

Monster Energy Supercross 25 is the best motocross videogame around and a lot of fun for newcomers and veterans alike.

Disney’s new Pokémon-wannabe is a very rich and complex experience, but absolutely not as streamlined as it should be: it could steal your time like the best games in the genre, but maybe its intricacies are too much to endure.

Three years is a lot of time and we expected more from Mega Jump 2 than a harder, often frustrating update of the original game.

The PC version of Assassin's Creed Unity is visually stunning, but it's also very demanding in terms of hardware requirements. If you've got what it takes to run the game smoothly and you like the series, this is the best episode so far.

As an example of interactive narrative, The Detail exceeds a little in cliché and predictability, but its distinguishing graphic style and interesting story will keep the crime novel fan involved.

Bionic Commando's come back is a tight turn toward the nowadays all popular shooters' gameplay. It's not a bad thing in itself, but the newcomers could be more pleased by this new adventure, than old school fans ,who will be probably missing some of the elements which made the first chapter an instant classic.

We have loved Dice Legacy for its original concept and for how it performed in game. We did not expect it to work so well, given the conditions, but we are happy to have been proven wrong.

Quotation forthcoming.

ARK: Survival Evolved should be the first triple A survival game, but It is not completely true.

A little gem in the park simulation genre which would have been even greater with some additional difficulty.

Sonic Frontiers is far from perfection but still the best and most fun Sonic 3D ever.

Though expanding and enriching the Sims 3 experience, the adding of the Pets hardly justify the full price of this product, which remains an expansion in every respect. The loss of the horses in the console version is another mystery of this questionable marketing strategy. Nonetheless, real fans of the series and who doesn't own the third chapter can find a great amount of Sims contents and experiences inside this title.

It's a frustrating game, with a structure that definitely lacks balance: however, Fractured Soul is indeed going to appeal to those hardcore gamers looking for a true challenge.

Fun and engaging, with some new ideas: a refreshing Resident Evil for every fan, all in portable mode on Switch.
