Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is the perfect tribute to the Taito franchise, a title that all fans should have on Nintendo Switch.

Goat Simulator is indeed a good laugh, but it's also a game that you will be probably tired of after just a couple of hours.

Artistically inspired and masterfully written, White Night is a classic survival horror that any fan should play, despite some flaws in the control and saving systems.

Samurai, time travel, demons: the niche anime now has its first, good 3D video game.

Mass Effect Infiltrator is definetly an improvement over the horrible Galaxy, but still a disappointing attempt to deliver the Mass Effect universe on the App Store. Bland story and characters and boring gameplay mechanics are the major flaws that can't be overlooked.

Despite an aged graphic and a lack of personality, Ranger push Elven Legacy mechanics foreword with a better balanced difficulty level and a lot of different heroes to play with.

Trigonon: Episode One revamps a gameplay very familiar to iPhone users, thanks to fresh mechanics, an unusual setting and an awesome presentation. The later levels of the game can offer some mindbreaking puzzles and occasionally it can be a little frustrating. Actually, there is a lot of replayability as you go back and try to end puzzles as fast as possible.

Dungeon Hunter 5 delivers a better experience than the previous episode, with a decent balancing, a solid upgrade system and lots of challenging missions.

Galaga Wars is a welcome return of the classic franchise in a new form with a good control scheme, but its lack of depth and frequent relying on micro-transaction can be disappointing.

Content and gameplay wise, Star Wars Battlefront II feels like a stellar sequel, with a great multiplayer experience and a thrilling starfighter mode. Too bad for a disappointing single player campaign and the messy progression system.

Koihime Enbu is a simple beat'em up for the fans of the visual novel.

Some new gameplay features like the manage system help the player to forget the graphics and the general lack of innovation.

The inevitable comparison between Mario Kart and MySims Racing is unfair at best: even if the game is kinda fun to play, EA's title can't be nearly as good as Nintendo's milestone. If you can get over it, you'll find yourself with a nice but unpolished racing game.

Let Them Come is an interesting corridor shooter, with plenty of upgrades and enemies but a very limited, repetitive gameplay.

Mecha Break is a great hero shooter and a terrible extraction shooter with a predatory monetization system that, luckily can be avoided entirely.

Brink is a good game, totally devoted to co-op play and tactical gameplay. It works when humans are thrown in the battle, but it fails when bots are enemies and allies. Single player is definitely important in the package, and unfortunately A.I. is not as smart as it should be.

Exit the Gungeon is a frantic, challenging action shooter with interesting random elements, some very nice enemies and great pixel art graphics.

Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections stands in many ways as the synthesis of a 20-year experience, which is as much that of Masashi Kishimoto's work as that of CyberConnect2, which has been working on these tie-ins since 2003. Unfortunately, they didn't seize the opportunity to deliver us the definitive transposition dedicated to the Ninja of the Leaf, sketching the story mode and re-presenting all the limitations of a gameplay that has abundantly had its day. Fortunately, Boruto's Special Story, the incredible cutscenes and the huge roster put a patch on it. A seal, actually.

Men in Black 3 is the typical casual game in which you have to complete several missions in order to gain experience and money, then unlock new items, maps and weapons. If you like the genre, give it a try.

The Chant is a very special survival horror, where horror, science and new age meet.

Both plot and atmosphere are good in Déraciné, but its puzzles won't make you work too hard.

Picross e2 is a strange product: too minimalist to appeal the newcomers, and too simple for picross veterans, it's a so-so game that seems just right for its price.

Greedy Dwarf is a simple, frantic action game, with colorful graphics but a little short campaign.

Lost Planet 2 is a really good game if you are looking for a solid multiplayer experience. Storytelling and the single player campaign are a bit on a thin side if you are a lone wolf.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is a worthy conclusion to the story which begun on Nintendo GameCube but it is not easy to overcome the boring beginning of the game, which is recommended especially to fans of the prequel since anybody not familiar to old characters and places will not be equally impressed by the fairly short plot.

If you are in search of a good horror adventure game Maniac Mansion-like, The Guest is a good choice.

The interface suffers from a serious scalability issue: text and icons are very often too small—at times almost illegible—on a screen like that of the Ally X. This is clearly a major flaw for a title that is so narrative-driven and involves extensive document reading. We are confident that this will be rectified promptly; however, given that this type of adventure game is perfectly suited for on-the-go gaming, we felt it was worth highlighting this issue.

If you like drawing and papercrafting, Inked is a game you won't miss.

Steelrising could and should have been a step up for Spiders. Unfortunately the choice to create a souls-like game at this point in the history of the genre did not help to reach the goal, bringing the team to a substantial stalemate. The story of Aegis works, the worldbuilding is interesting and the twists make the progression in the plot really interesting, but speaking of a genre so dependent on the technicalities of the gameplay, a bit of everything collapses under the weight of the experience pad in hand.

Precursors is one of those games that must be taken for what it is. The freedom is absolute and the mix of FPS, RPG and space battles is something quite unique. On the other hand, there are several bugs, glitches and problems large and small involving many aspects of the experience.

Infinite Crisis delivers an average MOBA experience, but with an interesting cast of characters.

You may love or hate Deadly Premonition and its pure heart hidden beneath errors, strange structure and PlayStation 2 graphics. Don't get fooled by the outside, there are plenty of good things hidden beneath this rough surface.

AiRace Speed is not a futuristic racer a la F-Zero: it is indeed a futuristic "trial and error" game, where the complete dedition, trying to get the perfect performance, is valued.

Immediate and very entertaining, Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic is the classic game to play with a bunch of friends on the sofa, with a well devised combat system that fits perfectly the Sixaxis controller. Unfortunately there's no online competitive mode and after a few hours is easy to feel the lack of more various attacks.

Quotation forthcoming.

Even with its smart gameplay and its complex and fun systems, Phantom Breaker: Omnia can't really compete with some of the best fighting games around, due to the lack of rollback netcode and disappointing lack of modes. Seeing it finally come to the west is still good news, and we hope a decent community will form around the game anyways, but there are better options out there for fighting game fans at the moment.

Making gestures to cast your spells is amazing and very funny, even when you start noticing some repetitiveness while you progress in The Wizards - Enhanced Edition.

NBA 2K24 is two games in one: it's a basketball manual full of love and a video game full of microtransactions. But you only notice the latter when you try to win in the City playground, the rest of the game is a solid experience and the best basketball game yet.

The new MotoGP has a lot of good things in it: the Career mode is rich and exciting, while physics and sense of speed are really improved. The gameplay is pretty similar to the one in MotoGP 09/10, but the possibility to turn several driving assists off provides a deeper and more satisfying experience. Unfortunately the graphics is still lacking and the opponents' AI is absolutely awful.

The Ball focuses on the symbiosis between the player and the metal ball he controls, offering an original interpretation of the classic FPS approach. The game features eight single player levels in which you have to activate switches, destroy walls and fight against many evil creatures, always dragging that huge ball with you. it's not particularly fun, but for twenty bucks you could give it a try.

Resident Evil 6 was a strange mix of messed up elements and good ideas, with too many action and shooting elements in the flow. The Switch version takes it portable, despite some bad textures and unstable framerate.

Men of War: Assault Squad 2 is a rich and compelling experience flawed by lack of real gameplay improvements.

Quotation forthcoming.

FIFA 18 for Nintendo Switch is the greatest portable football game ever made.

Winter Burrow is a gentle survival game that shares many traits with far more demanding titles, but softens them in favor of an experience with a warmer, more welcoming soul. One might even say it’s suitable for younger players. The story of this little mouse, who must restore his parents’ burrow, teaches us the value of a caring community. The cozy aspect of decorating and customizing the burrow isn’t particularly successful, and there’s no truly original idea that sets it apart from its inspirations. Still, it remains a pleasant fable about the value of simplicity.

Those who expected a chapter capable of making the classic leap in quality to the series created by Slightly Mad Studios, will probably be disappointed by a clear change in the driving model, which is still pleasant and immediate, although decidedly shallow.

Wii Sports Club is a mixed bag, with some good things and some bad things. Tennis is great, especially online, and baseball is nice too, while the new golf and bowling minigames don't shine as they could have and boxe is a complete mess.

A Shadow's Tale is an engaging and enjoyable platform game, with a nice artistic direction and a good number of original elements that fit effectively into the gameplay.

King of Seas has almost everything that it needs to work properly but trips over his own feet and becomes repetitive.

Do you ever dream about a love story with a dove? Do you ever feel that your life will be better with a bird on your side? If the answers are 'yes', try Hatoful Boyfriend.

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.

With all of its problems, ranging to faulted online and strange car handling, TDU 2 is still a reccomended ride, especially if you enjoy the freedom two islands can give and with a host of powerful cars.

Quotation forthcoming.

Alien: Blackout has some good ideas, but a shallow and repetitive gameplay is a limit that can't be ignored. For fans only.

Mario Party: Star Rush is a little step ahead in the series. It still lacks in contents, but NDcube added a brand new pace in the game mechanics that would be useful in the future.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is a collection that leverages nostalgia, but also features notable improvements.

Party games lovers should absolutely buy Wii Party. The number of minigames is just impressive and they are also very ingenious. Of course, there are some dull challenges but for the most part they are fresh and amusing, exactly like the improved Mii's look. Unfortunately Wii Party doesn't support any online feature and WiiMotion Plus is absent too, but is not a great lack.

Tokyo Crash Mobs is a refreshing new take on the Puzz Loop formula, both in gameplay and presentation, which is absolutely nonsense, surreal, Japanese. Unfortunately the new features don't always merge perfectly with the rest, and the great number of (silly) objects on screen can be a little confusing.

MY HERO ONE'S JUSTICE 2 is the second appointment with My Hero Academia, a sufficient production designed for fans.

Tenchu: Shadow Assassins delivers lots of stealth action, but it gives you absolutely no choice on how you beat each mission: if someone sees you, it's over. You can't go on rooftops anymore, and the first person combat system is poor and frustrating. The game comes with some good graphics, but the gameplay suffers from several flaws.

Neverending Nightmares is an art piece, which all horror fans have to play.

Gunbrick is a smart and attractive puzzle game with some great level design. Its short length and the lack of any extras are the only real issues.

A little late to the party, Gang Beasts find its home on Nintendo Switch, maybe the best place to play it, thanks to the possibility of multiplayer "on the go" and its demographic. It's still the same strange game that shines in multiplayer offline, but offering nothing more and nothing less than mayhem and silly fun.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Cave is really funny, with great puzzles, but it isn't a masterpiece because of some flaws.

Peculiar challenges and a good managerial dimension have to compare with a poorly detailed graphics and an excessive selling price.

Shadow Labyrinth is a fast-paced metroidvania that stands out for its atmospheric tone and the quirky presence of a yellow ball. Its most original features lie in the darker, sometimes unsettling narrative and the protagonist’s ability to transform into a futuristic Pac-Man, unlocking sections of the map designed to subvert typical genre expectations. While this creative twist adds freshness to a familiar formula, the game is held back by certain shortcomings: a lower-than-average difficulty, bosses that pose little challenge, a fairly predictable progression, level design that rarely surprises, and some stylistic inconsistencies. Despite these flaws, thanks to its fair launch price, it’s worth a try—especially for those interested in a more “accessible” metroidvania rather than a hardcore one.

A good game enriched thanks to the support of the steering wheels, the manual transmission and 60 frames per second.

Tekken Card Tournament is an atypical card game, with more "action" than tactics. The consequence is a poor gameplay, without interesting features and variety during the matches. As of now, it's just a fan-service.

Quotation forthcoming.

Picross e4 is an episode that summarizes the work made with previous entries without any kind of surprise or innovation.

We appreciate the small new things, but the game remains a niche title with a story mode too short and an aged technical aspect.

Snack World is a repetitive and rough dungeon crawler which kids will love; adults and fans of the genre not so much.

There are times when Marvel's Avengers shines in all its glory, be it introspective sequences, small but delicious lines, or absolutely spectacular scenes. The problems of the game are quite clear, but we must keep in mind that in a few months this game could tell us a different story.

The idea of enriching the structure of a typical top down shooter with some adventure elements is fascinating, but unfortunately it doesn't work well. In D.A.R.K. you often have to explore an area to reach a certain number of switches, then fight a wave of zombies and evil creatures, but the overall action is quite repetitive and poorly balanced.

A worth addition if you are a real BF BC 2 fan, but keep in mind that it's expensive for what it's giving to players.

​One of the best pieces of content that Bungie made for the Destiny series.

Astria Ascending is a competent old-school JRPG with a satisfying combat system and some fun platforming exploration, but not a very compelling story or cast.

Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster is a nice enhanced edition of a good episode of the Capcom series, with some interesting cooperative mechanics.

A good campaign, the marine one, and some variety in gameplay mechanics provide a quite fun experience. Unfortunately some ideas lack polish and the other two-thirds of the single player are just not as good as they were supposed to be.

Serious Sam 4 doesn't betray expectations but those who expected something more than the same old stuff will probably be disappointed.

UnEpic delivers an unoriginal but well written story, packed with some funny lines; a solid action platform gameplay, full of back tracking and respawn; and some hardcore RPG elements. The end result is a game that hardly lends itself to interpretations: you either love it or hate it.

RainBlood Chronicles: Mirage is a good Muramasa clone with some flaws. It offer two different characters, a well done combat system and a good replayability.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf takes on the Games Workshop franchise and delivers a solid, challenging but often cumbersome turn-based strategic experience.

Rediscovering the ancient tradition of mini-golf simulations, Golf with your Friends brings plenty of contents between courses and game modes to enjoy with friends.

PUSS! is a crazy game based on cats, obstacles and psychedelic lights. What more could you want?

Disgaea 6 is a masterful turn based RPG with a few interesting features that lacks visuals and narrative.

The map design is particularly well-crafted and intriguing, contributing significantly to the gameplay. On this front, however, one criticism must be raised regarding the limited quantity: currently, only five maps are available—all of them rather small in size. Given that there is also only a single game mode, it is essential that Double Fine introduces new content soon to keep interest in *Kiln* alive. The first post-launch updates have already been announced and include at least three new maps and a new game mode; however, it remains unclear whether true long-term support is planned—something that will likely depend on the game's online performance during its first few months.

Recompile is a game that promised a lot but in reality is lost in itself. All the gameplay mechanics are dull and shallow, especially within a structure much more linear than it may seem at first.

Fable Anniversary is still a fun game and its drawbacks lay inside the original game's faults and game design choices. Beneath all of these, there's still a fun game worth exploring if you didn't have the chance ten years ago.

Skydance's Behemoth is a powerful, epic, and incredible game, just like the colossi roaming the Wastelands. At the same time, however, it is an adventure that could have benefited from more variety: not a must-have for all headset owners, but undoubtedly a recommended experience for those who love fantasy tones and are looking for a game with visceral combat. Skydance's Behemoth is therefore yet another good VR adventure released at the end of a year that had, instead, started off on the wrong foot. Hopefully, this is not just a lucky exception and that 2025 will continue on a trend where we find ourselves wearing a headset more and more often to experience memorable adventures.

Ninja Blade is a good game, fast and furious as its stepfather Ninja Gaiden. Besides a good use of the weapons and the environments, its impossible not to mention the extensive recur to the quick time events and a pretty simplistic combat system.

Quotation forthcoming.

Soulstice is first of all a technical action game a la Devil May Cry and, while not reaching the peaks of the genre, it defends itself very well and knows how to entertain. The variety of weapons and situations is discreet, but unfortunately the setting repeats itself too often, boring the player's eye. The plot is accurate even if not original or exciting, but it does its duty. If you are looking for a game that lets you have fun with controllers in hand, you have found it. It is a first step, mind you, and there is room for improvement in view of a following, but perhaps for this reason it would be worth supporting an Italian team that has something of its own to say.

Monopoly is a great game, and Fortune Street does nothing to improve it, or to add something that only a videogame can do. There is an online mode, but sadly it's hard to find other players. A great board game, but just a decent videogame.

Old school 2d action platform with gorgeous graphics and some nice ideas. However, nasty level design and clunky controls make an overall frustrating experience.

The fourth episode digs deeper into the characters, revealing their conflicts and secrets through a more mature storytelling. Looking back at the season knowing what we know now, we could recommend it to a wider audience.

Battlefield 2042 is a gorgeous FPS but it fails to provide a polished and deep experience that we expect from a premium AAA game.
