Arslan: The Warriors of Legend is a decent entry in the musou series, if you keep your expectations down.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a game of substance that is not lost in frills: ideal for action lovers and for fans of the Alien saga, honored with every detail present in the game. Unfortunately there is a lack of truly original ideas to make him stand out from the mass of third-person shooters.

Alice: Madness Returns is stylistically gorgeous, with its crazy characters and a great environmental design. It's a shame that everything is spoiled by huge technical issues, bad graphics and a great lack of variety.

If you are a big lover of classic RPGs and if you can't play the game on a PC or Mac, then Avadon could be your ultimate game for iPad. For all the other players it's just a complex game with a bad interface and a gameplay really far from the usual aspects of gaming on iPad.

Minecraft: Story Mode is getting better at each new episode and the Sci-Fi theme of Access Denied works great in the Minecraft world of Telltale.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing is a simple but fun turn-based strategy game, with plenty of missions and characters to unlock.

Where Cards Fall is easily one of the most charming puzzle game on Apple Arcade.

Pro Cycling Manager 2023 is the perfect game for cycling and managing games lovers and nobody else because of its layers of complexity and extremely dull moments that only a fanatic could appreciate.

Quotation forthcoming.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a very traditional and very derivative stealth game that definitely delivers an enjoyable experience for fans of this subgenre.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Siege of Paris tries to change the approach from the huge and dispersed structures used so far, but the overall result is a mixed bag.

Quake arena didn't age very well, but still, if you are an hardcore fan of the original, you may still want to evaluate its purchase.

Honestly we were extremely disappointed with Overland, from which we expected much more than a frustrating survival game.

State of Decay 2 has some technical issues, but apart from these you will find a game bigger than its predecessor in almost every aspect.

Thunder Wolves brings something new to the shooter genre, adding variety to the missions and giving you a huge firepower to destroy the enemies.

A simulation game with massive customization features dedicated to all motorbike enthusiasts. The content and the game modes aren’t excellent, but the overall result is good.

A brilliant comedy that takes place in a sandbox world. It's hilarious and poignant at the same time, and above anything else it's a lot of fun.

There's no reason to keep on playing after clearing the game once with each character, probably the main flaw of a decent dungeon crawler with a very good multiplayer infrastructure and weird game design choices.

Boom Beach delivers a deeper experience than Clash of Clans, letting you control your troops during the attacks. The game is also very well done from a technical standpoint.

Resident Evil 5 on PlayStation 4 is extremely entertaining and very well converted. Also, the cooperative mode is funny and the story mode is plenty filled with non-stop action.

Another nice entry in the LEGO franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean on 3DS offers just what you would expect from this kind of game: a quality platform/adventure with some nice use of 3D.

Intense combat and deep crafting system fight against rising boredom.

Fragments of Him is a too didactic tale which fails to achieve its main goal: tell us who its main character was.

Snake Pass delivers a fresh, challenging puzzle experience that unfortunately doesn't last too long.

Alice in Wonderland's gameplay evolves around a simple concept: you have a number of characters with different abilities, and you must use them in combination to overcome obstacles. As you go through the adventure and the group grows, the puzzles become more complex and fascinating. A pity you can beat the game in less than six hours.

The Walking Dead: Final Season episode 2 tries to surprise but leaves us in no man's land.

A well done game, maybe simplified but very faithful to the TV series. It's entertaining and the interface works well; a must buy for all the fans with an Apple Device.

Virtua Tennis 4 makes some steps forward with a good career mode, but fails in delivering real changes inside the gameplay. While it still represents a good arcade experience, Top Spin 4 is surely the best choice available among the tennis simulations.

Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD is very linear and streamlined but manages to be some mindless fun, especially if you found the original game too bloated and wish for a cute, interactive recap.

Even if its structure is a little shallow, mostly in its combat system, Dragon Ball Legends is maybe one of the best anime-based games on mobile these days.

Miasma Chronicles is a very good mix of RPG and strategy. Some UI improvements, a better IA and better fonts are where The Bearded Ladies needs to grow.

The PSP version of 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa comes with a series of flaws that undermine the gameplay both in offline (poor IA, awful corner kicks) and online (heavy lag issues) modes. There are plenty of game modes, however, and fans of the series should give it a try.

Ultimate NES Remix on 3DS is an inferior version compared to the two episodes on Wii U, with fewer games and some questionable cuts here and there. But the main problem is the price: 39,99€ even for the eShop version is exactly the double you have to spend to get both the Wii U games, with half the content.

Pokémon GO is a dream come true for generations of players, but something is still missing. You can't exchange pokémon or challenge your friends and there are a lot of technical issues. However, Pokémon GO is an enjoyable social experience and it would become a must have with the right improvements.

Friday the 13th: The Game is a low quality game that arrives on Switch with all its contents.

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse is a great attempt at refreshing the usual formula with a hybrid gameplay which does not always work as intended.

MegaByte Punch is a great mix of customization, platforming and combat. The Smash Bros. combat style could shine in a competitive multiplayer mode and we hope it will be implemented in the future.

Deliver At All Costs is a loud and fun game that draws its main stylistic traits from eccentricity and lightheartedness. Even considering that it's a true debut title, it proves to be solid, immediate, fresh, and accessible. That doesn’t mean it’s without flaws. Its arcade soul quickly exposes a certain underlying repetitiveness and a lack of meaningful content — or at least content substantial enough to justify some of the gameplay’s potential, which largely remains untapped. Vehicle upgrades, a large cast of characters, and environmental puzzles are all present in their simplicity, but often (aside from a few brilliant sparks) remain in the background or are only used to a limited extent. Too much talk, you might say. A courier, after all, has to run.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is a good remake which successfully updates the same old formula with charming visuals, QoL adjustments and some new content.

Invizimals: The Alliance takes a very smart concept and builds upon it an utterly simple game which will appeal kids and bore everyone else. This is a gold mine as far as AR is regarded, though.

The 7th Guest is seventeen years old and it shows its age in a bad way. The problem is not only in its ancient technical aspect but in the puzzles too. These are just a few, nearly 20, and are extremely difficult to understand.

Aside from the addition of Achievements and necessary interface tweaks, the games are essentially identical to their original versions — for better and for worse.

7 Grand Steps is a smart digital board game enriched with strategy elements and some surprises. A strange game, indeed, that brings us trough 7000 years of dynastical challenges.

Manticore - Galaxy on Fire worked great on mobile, but it doesn't quite deliver on Nintendo Switch.

Lawn Mowing Simulator is unique, simply because there are no other games of this kind that simulate the activity of the gardener.

XDefiant's debut undoubtedly lays a solid foundation for Ubisoft's free-to-play shooter, which in terms of gameplay succeeds in offering a fast-paced, fun and very grounded experience, although not perfectly in focus.

A good horror movie for fans of the genre.

Quotation forthcoming.

Clearly a low-budget game considering its extremely short length and its mediocre graphics, Liberation Maiden is an original and fun shooter nonetheless, which fans of the genre should definitely check out.

Although we would have expected something more, Sea of solitude remains a pleasant and recommended little game.

Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights 2: Enhanced Edition does the bare minimum to improve on the original.

Despite some interface complexity, Daemon x Machina manages to cover a genre with unfortunately almost no competition. And it does that in a great way.

Cities XL is a fresh and innovative game. It is graphically beautiful and full of interesting features that set it to the top of the genre. Unfortunately there are some issues with the online.

WWE 2K17 is a rich and comprehensive game, designed exclusively for the hardcore fans of the WWE shows, but this year's iteration lacks the story mode and brings the same slow and cumbersome gameplay we experienced so far.

New Tales from the Borderlands did not deeply impress us and we believe that such an expected following would have deserved something more. The end result is an enjoyable game, which knows how to get even more laughter but which does not thrill when it becomes more serious and dramatic. Also sorry that Gearbox has only made half an attempt to expand the playful side with too simple minigames. It's not a bad game, as mentioned, but it's not the masterpiece that some were hoping for.

Bloodsports.TV is a good hero defense game, without the pressure of games with PvP. Make sure you will be able to play it along with your friends, in order to enjoy it properly: although single-player matches are available, they take just a few time before they become too repetitive.

Super Inefficient Golf perfectly mix golf and mines, but without casualties. It’s a simply and fun games.

Galactic Civilizations 4 is a good strategy game made by someone who knows how to handle the genre. Too bad that in some cases he has fallen victim to his own ambitions.

Quotation forthcoming.

A product suitable for the most passionate fans.

Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs is not a bad game which brings along some neat features, still it's way too similar to the prequels, especially Shadows of Almia, both visually and gameplay wise. This new installment is recommended to anyone who never played Pokémon Ranger before and, of course, to any Pokémon fan who might want to add some rare monster to his own collection.

Seabeard is an inspired, fun adventure, with excellent touch controls and plenty of quests and minigames.

EndWar is a raw diamond: Ubisoft has tried to innovate in the RTS genre with the voice control scheme but at the same time the gameplay is still very classic like any other strategy game with a general lack of tactical aspects.

Wii Karaoke U brings a comprehensive tracklist and plenty of options for you to enjoy, though the experience is way better if you've got a USB microphone.

Empires Apart is a good Age of Empires' clone in need of more content.

We had high expectations for WWE All Stars, but unfortunately the game failed to deliver. The Wii version, in particular, comes with so many problems (cumbersome controls, poor collisions, awful sound effects, lack of multiplayer) that's hard to recommend it even to a huge fan of the genre.

Compared to I am Setsuna, Lost Sphear is a step forward and a step backward at the same time. Tokyo RPG Factory improved on storytelling and character development but the gameplay structure and nuisances aren't just recalling the good old times. They just feel outdated and sometime plain annoying.

The first half of Metrico is challenging and interesting. The second half is just irritating, due to the schizophrenic use of all the input methods of PSVita.

The main problem with the Stimulus Package is that real new content is really not much, given the price of admittance. Hardcore fans are buying it anyway, but the value isn't there.

Quotation forthcoming.

How these french bakers succeeded to create a good mix between an epic story, billiards, squids and rpg games, it's still a mystery. Anyway, they did it. This is one of the best indie games on Wii U e-shop.

Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream is the first completely online title in the series, with games for up to 20 players, and it works quite well.

With Blackguards, Daedalic takes a step back both from narrative and gameplay perspectives. A boring quest, uninspiring characters and a frustrating combat system cast a shadow over some good ideas.

The interesting artistic aspect can't fully compensate a slow gameplay.

Ninjala is a new free to play battle royale, and it works great; it's a sort of fusion of Splatoon and Fortnite.

Quotation forthcoming.

Probably the most predictable story Yoko Taro ever wrote, and yet Voice of Cards is still a nice little JRPG, with good characters and an interesting world that probably deserved more time.

It's as ridiculously over the top as the last Saints Row, and definitely a step in the right direction when it comes to gameplay and variety. The problems stem from the limitation of the classic open world structure and some technical issues (mostly some irritating bugs).

Starblood Arena's gameplay is pretty good, but there are no special reasons to remember it in the long run.

NBA 2K21 is still one of the best sport simulations around, but if you are looking for something really new you should probably wait for its next-gen version.

Blade & Souls has some interesting ideas but would be forgettable without his fresh take on combat.

Football Manager 26 is the new entry in the FM series — for better or worse. After skipping a year, Sports Interactive used the time mainly to migrate its massive database and core systems to Unity rather than to revolutionize the game. The result is a solid installment with a few interesting additions — most notably off-the-ball formations — and plenty of familiar strengths, especially its ability to captivate players for hours. Match graphics have improved but still fall short of excellence, menus are clearer yet not perfect, and the inclusion of women’s football expands the managerial options even further. If you love this kind of experience, nothing else on the market comes close; but if you’ve already conquered everything from Lega Pro or simply don’t care for football, this won’t change your mind.

Another battle royale, sure, but a very good one.

There's plenty of charm in Ravenlok, but its substance as an action adventure is quite thin. If you live it like an interactive fable, however, it can be really satisfying.

Nikopol has a great storyline, full of twists and turns and very faithful to the style and the art of Enki Bilal. Unfortunately as the biggest part of all the graphic adventures there's no replay value, and this problem is particularly important because the game is a little bit short.

A new edition which will make the fans of the series happy!

Mercenaries Saga Chronicles doesn't shine in any of its aspect, but the volume of its content and the almost total absence of contenders make it a good choice for strategy lovers.

Serial Cleaners is built upon the good foundations set by its predecessor, carried on by new characters that expand its interesting narrative concept. However, its stealth mechanics are a bit flawed and the innovative thrust of the first chapter got a little lost in this sequel.

This game is an interesting experiment: it tries to transform the old builder sim in something fast and easy to play. The problem is the game is now too easy and it has several flaws in terms of user interface.

Full of quotes, colorful, funny and well made, Beware Planet Earth! is a viable alternative of Plants vs Zombies, from which it takes inspiration in various aspects of gameplay.

Metrocide is a pleasure even after one hundred games. With such a pure and solid game design, we know that in a year we'll still be playing it.

Shuffle Cats is a simple and fun "Rummy with cats", with a nice real time online multiplayer but also a despicable freemium model.

Even if the shooter genre can now count on several games on Playstation VR, Killing Floor: Incursion is a valid alternative.

Call of Cthulhu is back on Nintendo Switch, with a very good porting: get ready for an adventure inspired by the tales of Lovecraft.

SBK 22 delivers a solid, realistic driving experience that requires a lot of patience and practice to be enjoyed.

Quotation forthcoming.

Quotation forthcoming.

Dark Legend is still pretty fun but maybe too simple compared to the other Overlord games: the game is a good start for this franchise on Wii, with all the advantage and limitation that remote control can brings.
