This is not really what Pokémon fans would like to see from Nintendo on mobile platform, but it can still be appreciated by young kids.

While it still needs more content and depth, SimCity is a fresh and exciting new start for the series.

Gods Will Be Watching is a frustrating puzzle in which player doesn't seem to have the control of the situation. An intriguing atmosphere and an inspired soundtrack aren't enough to get a pass mark.

Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is really enjoyable at first, but gets worse very fast and fails to deliver. It's still a solid action platformer, but surely not the best one.

A very linear action RPG with muddled combat system, technical glitches and nasty script, Cyanide game never manage to entertain. Maybe is not time yet for Orcs glory, just leave this duo alone.

Swansong is clearly an ambitious and passionate game. Unfortunately, it's also not a great one, due to a rollercoaster of a narrative with more lows than highs, weak production values, and some baffling choices here and there. It's still a pretty enjoyable experience, especially for fans of the World of Darkness, but this universe deserves more.

Restaurant Empire doesn't offer a main course very different from the first episode, but is certainly a good management game. The two campaigns are long and challenging but the game leaves a strange taste in your mouth, you definitely like it but actually you think that something special is missing.

As for the previous releases, the third chapter in the series seems just one part of a biggest game, split to be sold three times: Descent It's very close to the other episodes and thanks to a good level design It's possible the best one. That said there are a several better top-down shooters and one of them, Alien Swarm, It's free too.

Need for Speed: The Run is a classic arcade racer, with some nice graphics and a decent gameplay. The single player campaign can be beaten in only a couple of hours and there's no online multiplayer, so the whole experience could be very short and insubstantial.

Comic Workshop isn't a bad software, but it's difficult to understand its ideal target. It's too difficult for beginners (there are no drawing or storytelling lessons) and too limited for professionals.

Raceline CC tries to bring an alternative to the drag racing genre, but it fails to deliver.

There's something genuine and nostalgic about Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast, along with what seems like true love for the band. You can't expect too much depth in a free-to-play RPG based on the license of a heavy metal band, but inside this limits, Roadhouse Games has managed to build something remarkable.

Although Kona VR makes the original game a bit more immersive, you should probably play it without your headset.

Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator is a strange but compelling simulation. Under an old school graphics and a cumbersome UI, it lies a well written story and a deep stocks and trading game.

Quotation forthcoming.

Kholat is a visually wonderful horror game that allows players to give their own explanation of the events. It is however frustrating because of limited movements, unavoidable deaths and an unclear plot.

Sid Meier's Starships is a light strategy games imagined for the tablet gamers audience. It's a good game, but not a memorable one.

Accel World vs Sword Art Online isn't a great game. We recommend it only if you are a huge fan of both series. Bandai Namco released in the past few months really better RPG's based on Kirito and friends adventures, go with those ones.

It's cool to drive on Barcellona's ramblas, chasing down enemy's vehicles, hijacking cars and destroying city's environment. This funny curious mix of GTA and Driver, starring Vin diesel, has a lot of different missions, pretty good visuals but sometimes is plagued by an awful artificial intelligence, especially in the on foot sessions.

STRAFE is a gore fest with very old graphics, fast paced first person shooting and roguelike mechanics. Slightly unbalanced and maybe too rough for some players, it's still a worthy and pleasantly ironic homage to the nineties.

The Town of Light is an intense and dramatic experience. Try it if you want to better understand the human mind and how the asylums work.

Legend of Kay Anniversary is a decent remaster of a not-so-brilliant action adventure game.

Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is an acceptable but lazy conversion of a good 12 years old fighting game. Some graphical tweaks or a couple of new game modes would have been much appreciated.

Party Hard is a really entertaining and old school title, with both action and stealth approaches, fine soundtrack and pretty 8-bit pixel art visuals.

RiME is a symphony of colors and music that deserves to be lived in depth. However the Switch version is full of flaws and bugs.

The main issue of Command & Conquer 4 is its worthless single player campaigns, too short and just not fun as they were supposed to be. Multiplayer modes are a far better experience, both in cooperative and competitive, but the overall product remains inferior to other good strategy games out this year.

FBC: Firebreak unfortunately fails to impress: despite the undeniable talent of the team at Remedy Entertainment, this co-op shooter set in the Control universe has very little in common with Jesse Faden’s gripping adventure, opting instead to deliver an experience that feels not only underdeveloped but also poorly presented. There are certainly enjoyable moments, and with the right team (you can invite friends via code, by the way) everything becomes more fun, but the content is undeniably sparse, the progression far too slow, and the action quickly becomes repetitive.

It’s not necessarily good because it’s free: Warframe is a so-so action game with many problems and a pretty scarce lasting appeal.

Well-designed puzzles mixed with a never seen combat difficulty: if all you want to do is play more DeathSpank action, then this will certainly do the job.

An old school rpg only for hardcore fan of the genre.

NASCAR The Game 2013 is a competent racer, with some good moments for all NASCAR fans.

A faulted, but interesting first effort from the Italian team named Storm in a Teacup. A deep and moving adventure a bit too thin on the gameplay side and with a few tech issue which is still worth your time.

Take it as "My first FIFA": Academy of Champions is a clever and amusing way to introduce kids to the world of football, and while it isn’t the most beautiful kids game ever made, there are far worse ways to entertain children.

Batman: Arkham Underworld is an interesting attempt at the RTS genre, packed with several well-known villains to unlock and lots of missions.

Ratchet & Clank: QForce is short and lacks content and variety, but fun nevertheless if played with or against a bunch of friends. A full scale entry in the franchise might benefit more from these interesting new mechanics.

YDS is a broken TPS, the zombie shooting is repetitive and boring and plagued by bad camera and controls that simply don't work. A lot of weapons, upgrades, sidequests and the usual minigames by the way, but in the end YDS is simply no fun.

It's a short game, with some brilliant underlying themes and a pretty decent story, and yet its shallow and repetitive structure make it hard for the player to appreciate its moments of beauty and brightness. Truly a pity, cause they are there, somewhere, among the stars.

Van Helsing isn't a bad game at all, but it lacks the features needed to become a worthy culmination of a saga that, with the first two chapters, had shown a catchier gameplay.

Maybe a bit too generic and mannerist, but Super Lucky's Tale has also some good platforming contents around its tail.

Truly a waste of potential. Forspoken gets saved by its spectacular combat and traversal mechanics, but the value of those systems gets skewered by a disappointing story and a trite open world structure. It's still a fun experience if you love experimenting with combat and magic, but we sincerely hope to see those systems recycled for something less rushed in the future.

Spires could be considered at first look just another Tower Defense Game and, in fact, so it is. However, the good realization, the dramatic history and the professional voice of the narrator make the game better than many others in this genre.

Respectful of its predecessors, well designed, and fun through all its campaign, Darksiders III more than deserves its place in the series.

It’s not entirely clear who Tamagotchi Plaza is aimed at. For younger players, the colorful creatures provide a reasonable and varied challenge, especially in short play sessions. However, the inspiration from Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop (which was never a masterpiece to begin with) is now just a faint memory. Due to its repetitive gameplay, lack of real incentives to continue, and a stylistically justified yet technically lazy presentation, Tamagotchi Plaza ends up as a forgettable title—engaging only in its first few minutes. That said, it connects to the latest physical Tamagotchi model, so dedicated fans might still want to give it a try.

Horror and sci-fi merge well in Hellpoint and Irid Novo is huge to explore, but the combat system and the character building suffer from the game's low difficulty.

Built upon an original and interesting idea, Storm is a nice experience for puzzle game lovers, but some inconsistencies in level design and flaws in the controls and physics prevent it from reaching its full potential.

Nail'd is a decent off road game, with beautiful visuals and stunning track design, but it is not as rewarding and challenging as an arcade game should be. The greatest flaws of the package are that the game is too easy for a long time and the handling is just a walk in the park, causing a near boredom experience.

RPG Maker FES fail to deliver a nice experience to beginners. Without a real tutorial, the game lacks of fundamental information to create something appealing, leaving the players bored and frustrated. It may give some satisfaction only to those who are already experienced with the series. ​

Thor: God of Thunder for Nintendo DS is a pretty enjoyable, "old school" 2D side scrolling beat'em-up. Beautiful from a technical standpoint, with high quality bitmap graphics, the game becomes very repetitive after a couple of levels.

Take the mechanics of League of Legends and put them into For Honor: the recipe for Warlander is that simple and yet super effective in creating a multiplayer experience that feels fresh and new.

Ubisoft Montpellier did an excellent job with The Adventures of Tintin. The game is simple but very fun to play, and delivers some very nice moments. What a pity it's so easy to beat.

Excellent simulation and storic research, Cold War suffers some AI problem, poor engine and inconsistent music and sound effects.

CSR Classics delivers a spectacular, immediate and fun drag racing experience, with lots of races and cars. Most of the contents, however, can be unlocked only paying for them.

Bud Spencer & Terence Hill - Slaps And Beans works very well but has some flaws in its combat system.

Cubemen 2 improves on the original by adding new multiplayer modes and customization. Unfortunately the online community seems less than impressive, and so the game cannot show its greatest qualities, the alternative multiplayer modes, at full power.

Might and Magic: Elemental Guardians is remarkable in its deep structure and also in its beatiful aesthetics. Its definitely a good example of what a mobile RPG can achieve but it has some flaws in narrative and variety.

Assassin's Creed Rebellion delivers a unique strategic RPG experience. Unfortunately the freemium mechanisms and paywalls come in play too early, slowing down the progression.

Moons of Madness debuts on PlayStation 4: a great first-person horror videogame, with an excellent conversion.

It’s incredibile how Capcom can squeeze Resident Evil and this sixth chapter is not different from the other remastered.

A lazy and minimal improvement over the latest release of one of one the most beloved Tales in the popular JRPG franchise.

Infinite Warrior is another endless action game, but the gameplay it's really repetitive and too simple. It's inspired by Infinity Blade but it's less dynamic and of course less polished than the Epic's Masterpiece.

Dragon's Prophet is a pretty standard MMORPG enriched with some action and tons dragons. Those aren't just mounts but friends, helpers, allies, enemies and ancient gods. Unfortunately, they live in a pretty boring world.

Just Die Already is a jazz concert made by crazy things that form a fun gameplay.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India improves almost everything from the first chapter, expanding the gameplay and making the experience more compelling.

King's Bounty 2 is an excellent title overall, which owes much of its ability to thrill to his strategic side.

Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is one of the best entries in the saga: the combat system of the regular titles combined with some of the more strategy-like elements of the Empire series, and the ability to customize characters make this game a good title for the fans.

Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines is in many ways the fulfillment of a dream: a portable version of Assassin's Creed that loses as little as possible in terms of graphics and freedom of movement. The result is a product of good quality, a little short (the total length would be around six to seven hours) and plagued by some problems about the controls and the camera.

The Godfather 2 is a great improvement in comparison to the first installment, but it has some flaws that keep the game from excellence. The Don's view works and it's well devised, unfortunately the game is too tedious hours after hours , the A.I. is a little bit broken and the visuals aren't top notch.

Dungeon Hunter 4 is the best episode of the series. An awesome dungeon crawler with plenty of quests, weapons, collectibles and upgrades, but with one huge shortcoming: the overwhelming presence of IAPs.

Despite the casual approach to the roster management, NBA LIVE Mobile delivers a really solid experience.

Youtubers Life is cool and fun, but it's not the revolution of tycoon games.

GUTS is a strange beat'em up, fun but with a lot of flaws at the same time.

Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water celebrates twenty years of Fatal Frame by remastering a game that felt already dated back in 2015 but still delivers an intense atmosphere.

The idea of celebrating a tribute to Castle of Illusion while applying the Epic Mickey formula is nice, but the execution leaves too much to be desired.

A repetitive yet addictive hack'n'slash game which offers an engaging loot system and a good co-op mode. Fanservice is brilliant and fans of Tolkien's works will have a good time reading through tons of dialogues and meeting a few beloved characters. You will not keep playing it for long but it will be fun until it lasts.

Bleak Faith: Forsaken finally arrives on consoles, and presents itself as an accessible and fascinating variant of the soulslike genre.

Obscuritas' atmosphere's good and the game runs better than Pineview Drive, even though it would've gained more from a better graphical optimization. Heavy backtracking and strange gameplay choices are its most back-settling features, barely bearable.

Too similar to its predecessor but shorter on content, Tiki Towers 2 seems a bit outdated today, with so many good games doing a lot more for less money.

Despite its poor graphic, Tour de France 2015 has some strategic depths that may appeal to fans of the world's most prestigious cycling race.

Quotation forthcoming.

Even if the game is charming and fascinating, talking about the gameplay Eufloria isn't able to appeal the player and, worst, to challenge him.

Quotation forthcoming.

​A bit too simplistic, Serial Cleaner is however a good example of coherence between gameplay and stylistic view in the form of hyper-classic stealth game​

Flirting with delicate subjects, The Suicide of Rachel Foster manages without excessive pathos to tell us a gripping and disturbing story. It sometimes turns the player into an inactive spectator, perhaps a little too much, but we enjoyed exploring this decaying hotel that holds a major place in the game. The adventure is not very long, but it's long enough to become attached to the characters.

The PC version of Lost Planet 2 solves some problems present on consoles, offering some excellent visuals thanks to the DirectX 11 support. Unfortunately, the developers could not remedy to the flaws of the original game (interesting plot but anonimous characters, several short missions in the single player campaign and a mediocre AI), but the combat system is still excellent and there are plenty of nice multiplayer modes. If you loved the first Lost Planet, this sequel won't disappoint you, definitely.

The Witcher Battle Arena tries something new delivering a faster, less strategical MOBA experience. And it almost succeeds.

Space Junkies delivers a simple, fun multiplayer VR shooter experience with nice controls and a good variety in terms of weapons and game modes. The problem is there's only a few people out there to play with.

FIFA 11 on the Nintendo DS delivers poor graphics, mediocre AI and a series of problems that afflict the overall experience in different ways. However, the online multiplayer is still there and works well, the additional buttons via touch screen provide a good number of options during the matches and the controls via d-pad seem to be accurate enough.

Has-Been Heroes has some good ideas but it gets boring pretty fast. Despite that it offers a really great challenge to players who wants to test their strategic skills. The game gives its best with Nintendo Switch portability.

Chocobo GP is a well-designed racing game: pleasant to see, fun to play, with an excellent track design and at least two interesting ideas. We refer to the possibility of upgrading the weapons, which increases the strategic component of the race, and to the online elimination mode, which involves 64 players (also accessible through the Lite edition, free). The main limitations lie in the number of tracks (nine, excluding variants of the same) and in the multiplayer from the same system, limited to two users (we imagine for stability problems). In general, we would have wished for greater courage in detaching ourselves from Mario Kart: excluding the innovations already mentioned, every single element is translated from the Nintendo game. Which is richer, more beautiful and deeper in just about every aspect.

Are you still playing SOCOM on PS2? OK, that's the only way you can enjoy SOCOM: Confrontation on PS3 since the game has no single player campaign and it offers multiplayer modes only. The gameplay appears to be too simplified for a modern third person shooter, as you have no chance to hide and shoot. The updates fixed most of the problems, but expect some lag and bugs when you're in a 32 players match. If you were waiting for a nextgen SOCOM episode, well, keep on waiting.

Scrap Metal is a fun game that, given the right extra effort, could have ranked in top spots of the XBLA quality chart list. As it is, its drawbacks are too many to be forgivable, but it's still a fun multiplayer experience.

Fat Princess Adventures is a simple cooperative action RPG, with a decent campaign but an inconsistent combat system.

Crazy Taxi: City Rush is not a bad game, just a much more ordinary mobile game. The shift of the gameplay to some kind of endless run formula works well most of the time, but the result is mostly forgettable despite some good production value.

Flick Kick Football Legends is a passionate tribute to 70s soccer teams, packed with a brand-new, full match gameplay.

Real Golf 2011 comes with a career mode full of events and situations, ten different characters, many extras and an interesting multiplayer mode both local and online. The gameplay, however, is sometimes dull, with cumbersome controls and some questionable solutions.

TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 for Nintendo Switch suffers from frame rate drops, low definition graphics with lots of aliasing and slow loading times that ultimately affect gameplay.

Yars Rising is a decent metroidvania. Period. Nothing more, nothing less.

From the homonymous comic, an action platform with some variety. Combat system is slightly redundant and gameplay is frustrating in advanced levels.
