Persona 4 Golden is an honest port of the beloved classic Atlus released years ago on PlayStation Vita. As much as it aged, Persona 4 Golden retains all of its charm.

Monsters Ate My Condo succeeds in the task of carving out its own space in the now endless list of 99 cents games available on the App Store, and does so thanks to a couple of very nice ideas. On the first hand the gameplay is very fun and addictive, on the other hand it comes with some good graphics and sound. What a pity there are no levels to complete, only an endless mode that lasts until you get beaten... or bored.

Dispatch proves that there is still plenty of room for narrative-driven adventures, especially when they are written and directed as masterfully as in this case. There are inherent limitations to this type of “game,” but Dispatch does everything it can to ensure that they don't weigh it down.

Sonic Mania Plus doubles the fun with new levels, two very interesting characters and even a new game mode.

OVIVO is a pleasure to see and listen, but as a game it also has some flaws that, anyway, don't turn down its charme.

Riding through Neva's landscapes is a balm for the heart. Its pastel-toned world, decadent and melancholic, the bursts of color, and then the darkness to face with a sword—just like in Princess Mononoke—offer an audiovisual experience with few equals. Through the bond between Alba and Neva, the new game from Nomada Studio tells a story of friendship and parenthood, drawing inspiration from the poetic universes of Fumito Ueda. It’s a short experience, and perhaps still too simple, but it leaves a mark thanks to its boundless artistic value.

NBA 2K16 is the greatest incarnation of the franchise, a huge production and an absolute reference for the genre. A dream for every lover of basketball : TV presentation is unparalleled, gorgeous graphic, massive soundtrack and the presence of Michael Jordan as spiritual godfather. Hard to ask for more.

Pikmin 3 is a great refinement of the original formula and is still a joy to play. But after nine years we expected some more content, and the final stage is really disappointing.

Sunless Skies is a worthy sequel to Sunless Seas, which maintains the main features by improving certain aspects such as the user interface and the combat system.

Don't worry, Total War: Warhammer II it's not a simple big DLC. The game deserves to stand on its own and if you loved the first chapter you shouldn't think twice and buy this sequel instantly.​

Cut the Rope: Magic brings some interesting elements to the series, delivering the best episode so far.

With a fun and intuitive combat system, some clever characterization and a gorgeous oil painting look, Tales of Arise is a must have JRPG which shows a confident step in the right direction for the series as a whole.

Hi-Fi Rush excellently blends the action and rhythm game genres like few before it managed to do. It's fresh and fun, it has a lighthearted and enjoyable storyline, but yet is supported by a massively deep combat system. And lot, lot of extra-content after you finish it.

Sentinel 3: Homeworld isn't just another simple Tower Defence: it's a mix between RPG and strategic elements, with some great graphics, 20 different missions and, finally, a lot of fun.

Few great additions aside from the new graphics, but Velocity Ultra is still one of the best shoot'em ups on PlayStation Vita.

Even with some naivety on some game design elements, AG Drive stands out as the best futuristic racing game on the App Store.

Infinity Field is a pleasant surprise, a very good clone of Geometry Wars, indeed. The two game modes included provide hours of entertainment, and the developers also did a great job with controls and graphics. Definitely a very, very nice twin analog shooter for a bargain price.

Completely changing the rules, the Hot Wheels Expansion brings new life to the Forza Horizon 3 world, in an unpredictable way.

Bionic Bay works way better as a speedrunning experience than an adventure with puzzle elements.

Marvel's Spider-Man is a spectacular and engaging action game, characterized by a perhaps derivative but solid and fun gameplay, an excellent rendering of web swinging, wonderful graphics and many characters and surprises. However, right now the PC version is not as well optimized as we hoped it would be.

Antonblast is Wario under steroids: a must have for the platform fan.

Warlords of Draenor is hands down the best expansion in 10 years of World of Warcraft, however there's still room for improvement as far as new features are concerned.

While expressing the most of its potential on the PS3, LittleBigPlanet fits the context of portable gaming with extraordinary ease. This port is virtually perfect in terms of gameplay, with all-new levels, a powerful editor and the chance to share your creations with the community on the PSN.

The main campaign of Halo Infinite has a bunch of problems: the AI that manages the friendly marines is underwhelming and the level design of the missions is sometimes repetitive. But as soon as you start firing, the game is simply perfect and this is what counts in a first person shooter.

PixelJunk Shooter is another great new entry in the pixelJunk series: an accessible but challenging work of art, with great visuals and addictive gameplay. One of the best PSN exclusives yet.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is a masterpiece of a remaster: Monolith Soft really cooked with the nice little quality of life and storytelling additions that make the game really shine on Switch despite being 10 years old.

Absolum is a side-scrolling beat 'em up of exquisite craftsmanship, almost perfect, one might say, enhanced by a roguelite structure that still has some balancing issues, likely due to Guard Crush’s lack of experience with the genre. Most of the time, however, it manages to find its footing, also because in terms of scale and content it's not overwhelming, in fact, it can be completed in around fifteen hours. It must be said: when it comes to throwing punches, nothing else compares. The satisfying way power-ups synergize with one another, along with the impact and thrill of juggling enemies, makes progressing through the levels a sublime experience. Even after reaching the end, you’ll want to keep brawling, stacking upgrades just to feel increasingly powerful. A little gem to play and replay, after cracking your knuckles, of course.

Iconoclasts is a work full of love and creativity.

Bayonetta is truly a masterpiece of the action genre, a fresh, funny and spectacular stylish game also very deep in its gameplay. Platinum Games has definitely made a title that put Devil May Cry and every other action game in shame. Must Buy, period.

Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time keeps all the aspects of the previous games of the series, improving in every department and giving the player entertainment and a lot of things to do. A graphic department with some low spikes and the lack of true challenge prevents the game to gain a very high score. Anyway the last videogame from Insomniac is highly recommended to every genre's enthusiast.

NBA 2K14 is the same gorgeous, over-the-top basketball simulator we are used to know, now with Euroleague teams.

Fallout 4 is a marvelous post-atomic RPG with a lot of content and a perfect setting. It's sad that from a technical aspect it's extremely short of our expectations and it has a simple storyline.

For a fan of the Armored Core 6 series, this is a dream come true. Yamamura and his team's work is what Armored Core was always meant to be, a fast-paced, tactically rich action game that offers a unique level of customization and can give back a lot to anyone willing to delve into its systems. The many technical evolutions and improvements to the system, however, are somewhat held back by a desire to stick to old structures that may result repetitively for many, and by a somewhat chaotic difficulty curve that could have been implemented in a more logical fashion. Overall, it remains a fantastic game, which we recommend without hesitation and represents an absolute must-have for anyone who loves the original series.

Arco is a game that doesn't exceed its premise. The story that unfolds in front of the player is gritty and uncommon to see in the video game industry, with some threads bonding it to Central and South America's actual history at the end of the 19th century. The gameplay isn't as interesting as the narrative but it is interesting to find the best way to go through the fights. Some bugs mix this nice melting pot of ideas with a fallibility that makes it seem humane and a nice ticket for the future of these valuable artists.

A vast and brilliant racing game with some optimization problems on PC.

It's a satisfactory ending for the whole season, but we have encountered the same issues that prevented the other episodes to be something more than average.

Winter of the Melodias is better and more complete than the first LostWinds, even more unique and poetic; fortunately it's still short, as every haiku should be.

Gone Home is a poignant love story, masterfully crafted and delivered with a great sense of storytelling. The environment plays the role of the narrator and the objects left behind by the family are like words the player has to reveal and listen to in order to understand what’s happened.

More than just a visual masterpiece, Kirby Epic Yarn is a solid and cute platform game that is perfect be experienced in co-op with a casual player. With some great hardcore similar games like Super Mario Bros. Wii and Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii, this alternative choice is all but superfluous.

Beyond the mediocre graphics, Swordigo's got a lot of content: it's fun, challenging and enjoyable. A very nice action platform with some RPG elements, definitely.

Dx+ is the best way to experience the new iteration of the Championship Edition franchise. Equally challenging and satisfying, the new Pac-Man is packed with a much needed online competition.

Dj Hero 2 is in every way improved over last year, with a better balanced tracklist, new gameplay mechanics and a more than decent multiplayer. The career mode should be improved more tough, but the game is highly recommended for rhythm games fan.

Quotation forthcoming.

Panic Button's port of Rocket League is far from perfect, but graphics have always been a secondary matter for Psyonix's phenomenal game, and this holds true for the Switch version. Fun, fast and exhilarating, it's still a must have for anyone who loves to play online.

Fall of the Samurai is a great stand alone expansion pack: there are no big gameplay innovations but loads of new content and the same amazing visual experience of Shogun 2.

Mara Whitefish's new adventure is sometimes irreverent, at other times sentimental, but it's always genuinely true. So much so that you find yourself getting angry at one character or another, only to realize that, as teenagers, we probably behaved the same way.

Game Dev Story is certainly one of the best simulation games on the App Store to date. Sadly it's not really optimized for iPhone and it lacks Game Center support or any other social feature. But it has several good irons in the fire, and the mix of humour and completeness recalls some classics like Bullfrog's Theme Hospital. Well, come to think of it, it's so comprehensive that it would deserve to be released on PC.

Funny, engaging, simple yet satisfying, this little narrative adventure gives a great amount of fun, despite being relatively short for non-completionists.

Rodeo Stampede: Sky Zoo Safari is a nice take on the endless run genre.

Rocket League Sideswipe is a fun, frantic and spectacular arcade game that doesn't deliver the full Rocket League experience since it's limited to two-dimensional challenges, but it's a blast nonetheless.

As a boxing simulation, Fight Night Round 4 is almost perfect by any standard, starting from its graphical presentation to its deep gameplay. As a videogame in itself, it's clearly designed to appeal to this sport fans and may be boring to those looking for a sport themed beat'em up.

Lostwinds 2 evolves the enjoyable formula of the first chapter introducing better controls and graphics. There's still something that doesn't work, sometimes, with the touch screen and the frequent backtracking could not be appreciated by someone, but the game is still delightful, simple and poetic like a little fairy tale.

Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition is one of the most popular RTS games of all time. Thanks to a good adaptation that uses shortcuts and an intelligent interface to give players the power to control their empires, we can play it on consoles after almost 25 years. The mouse and keyboard are still better, but this could be the chance for the die-hard fans of the controller to play a true masterpiece.

F1 2017 consolidates Codemasters's work with the past edition, adding further facets and depth to the single player experience.

Simply, the best fighting game on the market: beautiful to see, play and hear.

The PS5 version of Yakuza: Like a Dragon delivers a technically flawless experience.

Disco Elysium remains a narrative masterpiece and one of the best RPG experiences around. The Switch version is not the most technically astounding around, but it's clearly well made and solid enough to offer the original experience in all its glory to any player.

All in all, Boom Blox Bash Party is an excellent sequel, a great multiplayer experience and the proof that it is actually possible to create a casual game capable of hooking up even the most harcore audience.

Quotation forthcoming.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is visually stunning and pretty solid in its gameplay mechanics: a great sequel for the Crystal Dynamics reboot.

NBA 2K14 next-gen incarnation arrives with many highs and a few lows. On the plus side it achieves an incredible technical goal and the revamped My Player mode with The Park, dedicated to those who love to play fast online games. Less impressive is the same old playability.

With a few rough edges to smooth, Diablo IV might be a new masterpiece in Blizzard's resume.

This is your typical sleeper hit: a fantastic game that comes without much hype, but it will rule your free time in the next months.

It's not just a great showcase for the new iPad high-resolution screen, it's mainly an excellent air combat game with great graphics, tight controls and a huge load of content.

Like its predecessor, Eliss Infinity proves that a simple idea specifically based on the use of touch screen is the best foundation to build a delightful puzzle game for mobile platforms.

Total War Warhammer is not perfect, and not all the subsystems have gotten better, but the changes are there, and they bring a lot of new possibilities that fans of the Warhammer Universe and the Creative Assembly games will definitely love.

Dan the Man is a simple but really solid action platformer, fun and addictive, with very nice retro graphics and sound.

Vampire Survivors is a small and addictive game. Try it.

Rakuen is an isekai adventure that deserves to be lived for the first time by those who missed it when it first came out and to be appreciated one more time by those who had already loved it. Rakuen Deluxe Edition puts together both the video games and the animated series created so far on this well-characterized and recognizable universe, coming with its characters and its own rules, filled with memorable and intense stories.

With a driving model more accessible than ever, F1 2020 will let you enjoy its brand new My Team mode even if you are a newcomer.

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is more than a simple tribute: it's a full fledged adventure well worth its price.

It is a further footstep in the u-turn tried with the fourth episode, however it risk to get angry the players which are searching for an experience more channeled in the rules of the genre.

With this fourth chapter, Saints Row has partially lost its identity. It's still fun, at times, but aliens, virtual reality and superpowers ultimately impact not only the gameplay, but also the overall spirit of the saga itself, as the feeling of being part of a criminal gang is utterly gone.

Even if its new features aren't groundbreaking, it's easy to say this is the best console version of the game, thanks to crispier graphics, extra content and some little gameplay adjustments.

The Definitive Edition keeps all the good characteristics of the original one and tries to breath new life with a good amount of options and fine tuning, but after two years and a generational transition we should expect something more. Nonetheless, it's still an amusing experience.

Mushihimesama is one of the best manic shooters on PC. Buy it.

The work Capcom has done on the Switch 2 version of Street Fighter 6 is commendable. The game is impressive in classic fights, to the point of looking more refined than the PS4 version, and the online experience currently feels just as solid as on other platforms. It's a pity about the slightly higher latency compared to other versions, and a World Tour mode that isn’t as polished or optimized as the rest of the game—otherwise, this would have been a truly flawless port of one of the best fighting games ever made.

An impressive port, with a good amount of graphical options and great optimization. Indeed the best way to enjoy Rise's amazing combat system.

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery is an astonishing example of art direction, with gorgeous pixel art graphic style combined with one of the most incredible soundtracks in videogames history. The gameplay is probably not on the same quality level, but the final result is absolutely a must buy on any iOS device.

Square Enix, which usually makes discreet holes in the water with remasters, has managed to significantly improve an RPG that was already a masterpiece of its own. If only he had had more courage, and had put his hand to the slightly spartan pixelart, Tactics Ogre: Reborn would have been perfect, but all in all we also understand the desire to preserve a certain level of nostalgia. It is officially the best turn-based strategy you can play: if you love the genre, and you are not afraid of the English texts, you absolutely have to make it yours.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a carefully studied sequel, full of content and new ideas.

It's really difficult to describe in a few words what Dragon Age: Origins means for the RPG genre. It's role-playing at its roots, with an incredible story arc, deep gameplay and an atmosphere no other game can deliver. You'll hope the game will last forever. There are really few problems in the gameplay but we can say without any doubt that Origins is the RPG of the year and, perhaps, of the last few years.

Angry Birds Star Wars successfully adds something new to the classic Angry Birds gameplay, delivering a rich, fun experience once again.

The Sims 3 is a great game, a truly masterpiece, fresh, mature and innovative. With beautiful visuals, the game is full of new contents, the life of our avatars is not set only in one house but we can stroll about through an entire city. This a giant leap from the other games created by Will Wright.

With its clever level design and smoothly implemented physics and controls, Hydroventure is a relaxing and charming, though very challenging experience and one of the best game currently available on WiiWare.

Death Stranding arrives on PC with better performance and much more content. Like 9 months ago, the game is still doing great work as an incredible journey and a funny delivery simulator.

The Witch Queen is a masterful expansion. An almost totally perfect symphony played by an orchestra that seems to have finally found an optimal direction. Destiny 2 fans have something to rejoice, but above all to play, as the approach to Lightfall has just begun and we can't wait to find out what will be hiding in the upcoming seasons.

A bright and bold take on the popular multiplayer shooter format.

Yakuza 0 is awesome on PC thanks to a perfect port, which lets you play up to 4K and 60 frames per second based on your configuration.

Despite the interesting and open level design, Tomb Raider is more akin to the average action adventure than you would think. An overall linear experience, with plenty of cinematic sequences and over the top roller-coaster rides that falls somehow short of expectations when it comes to the survival matter.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is a great game on Wii U, but considering the frame rate issues, the absence of DLC support and a somewhat disappointing use of the Gamepad, you might want to stick to the other versions if you have the chance to.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart proves to be a spectacular and exciting adventure on PC as well, thanks to a porting that may not be perfect but is pretty damn solid, especially considering how many problematic day ones we've seen this year on this platform.

Tribes: Ascend is an old-school skill-based FPS with a modern engine and an interesting class system. Graphics are good, fun is concrete, kills are gorgeous and there is still room for many improvements.

Super Monsters Ate My Condo! is still fun and enjoyable, but the differences between this sequel and the original are scarce.
