If you mix a good multiplayer and a poor single campaign you'll get Monkey Pirates. The two gameplay modes - with and without the Gamepad - are well executed and can guarantee much fun, but the game has limited ambitions.

Mario Sports Superstars oozes quality when it comes to pure gameplay, but the same can't be said about singleplayer content, and not all the sports are polished at the same level. It's obviously a multiplayer game at heart, consider that if you decide to give it a try.

If you enjoyed the fishing minigame and you want to see again Cindy, Noctis and other characters from Final Fantasy XV, Monster of the Deep is what you were looking for.

After a fourth chapter that has pushed the boundaries of the series to another level of exploration and complexity, returning to Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD seems like a step back on the route of evolution. Anyway, Ubisoft has done very good work with the HD adaptation and if you wish to know something more about the Creed's universe and this charming character, the ticket to the 700's New Orleans is not too expensive.

Disintegration provides a pleasant breath of oxygen to a genre, such as that of first person shooters, often rooted in consolidated archetypes. Unfortunately, the technical realization betrays the limitations of a budget that would have been better conveyed only on the single player campaign, instead of concentrating a good part of the forces in anything but satisfactory multiplayer.

Wanted is a decent action game, a classical third person shooter that throws you in the world of Mark Millar graphic novel, unfortunately the game is a little bit short and actually tedious, despite its well devised cover system that let you run freely around objects.

Little King's Story reaches a perfect balance between friendliness and depth in terms of gameplay, but not much has been added compared to the Wii version. If you've never played Little King's Story before, this new remastered PC version is recommended.

You can get lost following all the story lines in Harbor Prime, a beautiful distopian city. But some flaws are able to bring you back to reality.

As it stands, however, it is a project that puts the long testing phase it desperately needs behind the payment of an entrance fee, among other things in an undergrowth in which the competition has adopted the free-to-play model for years, running the risk of generating a fall from which it seems difficult to recover.

There is and can be seen the touch of strategic veterans, but it is too little to save Conan Unconquered from mediocrity: a game that lacks content and is technically dated. A good opportunity lost.

RoboCop is a pretty competent shooter, packed with lots of missions and upgrades to unlock.

The Old City is an interesting though not entirely accomplished narrative experiment.

A chronic lack of contents makes this game really overpriced and so light also for the most loyal fans.

While the prequel was a pure 3D platformer, Jett Rocket II tries to add a little variety with some 2D/3D gameplay and purely 2D levels. Surprisingly these 2D levels, reminiscent of Mega Man, are the best of the bunch, with a great level design and a touch of old school difficulty.

Planet Zoo: South America Pack is a collection of new items and animals. Planet Zoo fans will definitely like it, but it'll leave everyone else indifferent.

Tomorrow Children: Phoenix Edition brings a dystopian sandbox back to the scene, but the structural problems are still here.

The first three classic Mortal Kombat in one single bargain collection, back to the 90 again with these ultra-violent beat'em up perfectly converted on next-gen consoles and PC.

Bleeding Edge is a good hero brawler with a stunning character design and a unique action style system. Unfortunately, the lack of content and an unclear road map are two marks of a predictable falling down.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia is in the middle ground between the first and the second episode. The variety of the gameplay is acceptable but the flawed AI and controls are the same from the previous chapters.

Rabbids: Travel in Time is a solid party game, packed with a bunch of good laughs and some original mechanics: however, it's kinda short on minigames and not every one of them is properly polished. Still, it's one of the best entries in the genre.

We really enjoyed the artistic department of the game but it's the only good thing of this game. The plot can't deliver emotions and the puzzles are too easy and extremely linear. The result is an adventure we can't suggest to the players.

Senran Kagura Burst hides a satisfying combat system behind a shameless presentation which would piss any activist for women's rights off. It's Japanese to its very core and somewhat repetitive, still lots of fun.

Which way is Starfield heading? So far, it’s stayed put, and for the hardcore fans maybe that’s good enough, at least this time around…

Splash or Crash is a little, quirky, addictive game. While it can be beaten in half an hour, the real fun begins only when you try to master every well with every "stone". Problem is, not everyone will take this step after beating the game with the unbreakable rubber ball.

Pokémon Friends might be fun until it lasts for very young fans looking for a cute quick puzzle game but the repetitive gameplay and annoying cooldowns drag it down.

The Reigns formula is applied in an interesting way to the world of The Witcher through a curious narrative device that actually features Dandelion more than Geralt. The result is an adventure full of choices that does not sacrifice the irony typical of the Nerial series and manages to entertain with its unpredictable narrative, except that this randomness often becomes almost excessive.

Galak-Z: Variant S is a nice freemium take to the original roguelike shooter experience developed by 17-Bit, with lots of very challenging missions, upgrades and enemies.

A battle royale on Final Fantasy seems surely a strange and apparently venal operation, but there is some study and commitment in this project. It's a fairly engaging shooter that links perfectly with Final Fantasy 7 lore that fans of the original could enjoy, but others may struggle to find attractive in any way.

The first true horror game for PlayStation VR is an unpleasant and revolting experience. But not for the reasons you are thinking.

FlatOut 4 tries so hard to be good, but the story mode is quite boring, the IA is unbalanced and the mini-game section is fun, but forgettable in the long run.

Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth is an awesome game for all the young Marvel-fans out there, with nearly perfect Kinect controls and voice commands.

It's basically a smaller version of the Wii U game, and that's about it. You're going to love it if it's your first time around LEGO City, but you might end up with a whole lot of deja-vu if you already played the previous adventure of Chase McCain.

Shrek: Forever After - The Game is, with no shadow of doubt, a title for all the young Shrek fans out there. However, it delivers a solid gameplay and some nice graphics that make it feel enjoyable by adult gamers as well.

Knights of Pen and Paper has been a hit on iPhones, but the lager screen of PCs magnifies its flaws. Still it’s brilliant humor could be a good enough reason for playing it.

Etherium is a good RTGS that give its best in multiplayer, if you find someone to play with.

Kingdom Under Fire II can be really fun, but suffers from the huge weight of a troublesome development.

WRC: FIA World Rally Championship 4 delivers the usual solid, fun rally experience, packed with lots of content.

Wreckreation is a more than decent open-world arcade racing game. The driving system works well, as does the editor that lets players create custom events and tracks. Unfortunately, the game feels somewhat bland in terms of visuals and, beyond the editor, does very little to set itself apart from its competitors.

An average co-op third person shooter that is rather derivative. The idea of weapons is very original, the rest is rather bland. Is better to avoid if you plan to play it alone.

There are two souls fighting within Lost Soul Aside: the first is that of a small project created by solo developer Yang Bing and painstakingly nurtured over many years, while the second is that of a PlayStation-branded title sold at a triple-A price. It’s a “stylish action” video game inspired by the formula of Devil May Cry and the aesthetics of Final Fantasy that — not always for the right reasons — recalls the structure of old PS2-era hack and slash games. The combat system starts off with the handbrake on but steadily grows into something solid and challenging. The gameplay manages to stay fun throughout the adventure, but as soon as you step away from this core, a number of weaknesses start to surface: in addition to bland, impersonal storytelling and art direction, there are many rough edges, both in terms of presentation and mechanics. In short, it shows all the flaws and inexperience you’d expect from a small debut team, but these are inevitably magnified by a price and positioning that don’t reflect its true nature.

Sniper Elite: Nazi Xombie Army could be a fun challenge for everyone who played Sniper Elite V2, but only in co-op mode. In fact, the action becomes very repetitive very fast in single player mode.

With an awesome lore and plenty of beautiful characters and enemies, Malicious Fallen delivers a hardcore boss rush experience with three different campaigns, but still suffers from a very bad camera.

Musou-style gameplay strikes again: the game could have been a much better adaptation of the beloved Japanese series, instead we are getting a bunch of long and repetitive skirmishes and excellent cutscenes. Fans will be pleased with the good amount of extra content, despite some technical nuisances.

Despite the short playing time, Sacred Citadel is a pretty fun side-scrolling hack and slash RPG, pleasant to play especially with some friends. It is the perfect game for the fan of the Golden Axe or Final Fight era.

Rabbids games are often funny and original, but this is unfortunately not the case of Rabbids Big Bang.

Muscle March has many flaws in terms of gameplay and control detection and it's also really short in its single player mode. Nevertheless, this is an entertaining game to play with friends (even for a short time), with a characterization that surely will bring many laughs for everyone.

There's something charming and irresistible in World's End Club's anime-style narration and presentation, that keeps you attached to characters, wanting to know how the story develops.

Back in Action is a nice game, but some flaws in the artificial intelligence make it less engaging than it may have been. The Plan & Go system is a good try however, and we hope to see more of this in the future, but Jagged Alliance 2 is still on top.

Contrast's plot is intriguing and very well told, but the game is way too short and inconsistent.

Deadpool is fun to watch and it's fun to play, but the main campaign is a little short and there are some technical and design issues.

Adventure Time is a nice adventure just for fans. It lacks of a good combat system and have some serous issues on the technical side. The combat system it's not even engaging, becoming repetitive after few hours of playtime.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Dawn of the Battle Royale offers a whole new plot, new characters and above all, rules of the game never seen before.

Overall, Beyond Contact is not entirely contemptible, but it lacks aspects that make it a must-play.

Slitterhead is a significant waste. Many of the concepts underlying the game are brilliant and demonstrate how Toyama remains a creative mind capable of experimenting and crafting unconventional titles. However, it's evident that, deprived of the resources he once had and forced to start anew with a fresh team, he has not been able to adequately bring his initial vision to life. In our opinion, Bokeh Game Studio's debut work is still passable thanks to its originality and some well-executed aspects, but it’s a pity it amounts to nothing more than that.

Betrayer is a very interesting first person adventure, with several hardcore elements but also a lot of annoying things to deal with.

WWE 2K15's debut on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is good but not perfect: the gameplay is a highly fun simulation experience, but the game doesn't have all the feature depth of past games in the series. It is, however, a good template to build upon for future instalments.

Conception II is not a bad jRPG, but it's shallow and repetitive and lacks of meaningful characters and events, which means plot twists and dating sim mechanics feels superficial. That being said, it's also quite misogynist and icky, with all its sexual innuendo and bad script.

Color Guardians is a challenging but repetitive running game for all those who want to experience this kind of game on console.

You are armed, you're angry, you have to kill the monsters!

A crossroad of different genres, Monster Menu is a curious take on S-JRPG by NIS, surely second to no one in this approach. Fun for some hours, not in the medium run.

Blacklight: Tango Down is a good concept and game limited by its average quality maps' level design and by some issues with weapons balancing and respawn spots.

Mini DAYZ is a simple but solid survival game, and it's completely free.

In Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron for Nintendo DS you can switch between four classes and use different weapons, but unfortunately this doesn't change the poor combat system and the lack of a decent level design.

Year after year, Le Tour de France is a slightly better version of the same game. Unfortunately there are still many problems on the way to a satisfying simulation of the sport. In theory, the ideas of Cyanide are good, in practice they must face a not-so-good making, especially with the AI and the management of stamina. It's not broken at all and it can be fun and sometimes even exhilarating, but there is a lot to improve.

A good puzzle game with a poor plot.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker is a very different title to the Storm Serie, but the ninja are in great shape and the online component has been enhanced.

Tharsis is an harsh and unforgiving game which can make you feel miserable and alone, just like an astronaut on a derelict spaceship. The dice mechanics are nice, but sometimes it's too random to be engaging.

Rayman 3D is a perfect conversion of Rayman 2: The Great Escape. Problem is, it is a game from 1999, and, while it remains quite good by today's standards, there are lot of chances you've already played this game in a form or another.

The first of the Anniversary Collections seems, sadly, like a typical product of the new Konami: rushed and bare-bones, although many of its classics still have all their charm.

MX Vs ATV Alive is not a bad game: it has good gameplay mechanics, good AI drivers and a discrete control system. But the serious lack of content, the lack of a true Career Mode, the repetitive progression of events and some technical issues drag it down.

From stunning snow-capped mountains to grey, oppressed city, Shaun White keeps inspiring guys like the one you control in the game, who has the ability to change the reality by doing some tricks with its skateboard. Shaun White Skateboarding's premise is great, but fails to deliver due to boring mission-based gameplay.

Lust from Beyond is an overall successful title that pushed us to continue, despite the presence of the combat sections.

Medieval Moves is definitevely entertaining, but it could soon become boring and tedious because of its on rail gameplay.

The Sinking City is founded on an unbalanced mixture of action and adventure, with an enjoyable gameplay in its investigative section and clumsy combat, duct taped together with some sort of open world survival elements.

Shadowrun Chronicles features 4 players co-op turn based combat and that's something. Unfortunately the game feels incomplete and it's actually flawed by huge latency problems.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 comes with new modes, new competitions and commentary, since the gameplay is basically the same of last year edition. The game still lacks online multiplayer and the graphics really need to be improved to reach FIFA's standards, but overall this is a nice choice, especially if you didn't buy PES 2011.

Quantum Legacy is a nice space shooter, with some very good graphics and excellent controls. What a pity there are only a few missions, at least for now.

Ecolibrium is deep and well designed but won't appeal a wide range of players. It's however a solid entry in the ever-growing compendium of PlayStation Vita's free games.

Redux: Dark Matters has gameplay problems tied to some flawed design choices. Try it, but only if you are a great shumps fan.

Noblemen: 1896 is an ambitous game, rich in content a visually nice, but in the end it bites off more than it can chew.

Big Pharma tries to mix puzzle game with strategic and managing elements and it succeeds for the most part. The flaws derive from its steep learning curve, some problems with visualization and graphics and a quite shallow representation of all the complex elements outside the act of crafting medicines.

Starship Troopers: Extermination is the best way to kill giant alien insects online.

If you can get over the compromises through which the X360 version went starting from the PC one, you may enjoy a fun and compelling game. Board game's fans should surely give a close look.

Cities XL 2012 is just more of the same: if you enjoyed playing the previous game you will probably consider buying the new add-on at a discounted price. But if you never fell in love with this game you won't do so now.

LEGO The Lord of the Rings on Nintendo 3DS is a low budget porting, lacking in content and flawed by a number of technical issues. It probably could have been much better than this, if not good as the home console counterpart.

Dead by Daylight is a good horror multiplayer game with good ideas, but the conversion is terrible.

Godfall is a fun looter shooter but it has too many flaws and lacks consistency and coherence to go beyond sufficiency.

This new Dead to rights may appeal to B-Movie fans. For everyone else this is just a decent game with too many problems and a dog which just barks and doesn't bite.

If you miss the good ol' times of Marble Madness and Monkey Ball, look no further. HamsterBall is an enjoyable game with dozens of excellent tracks and different game modes. It's fun and engaging but not flawless: visual style can be awkward at times and physics doesn't really always work like it should. However, for such a low price those are just minor flaws. And let's face it, hamsters are cute.

Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy is still a powerful experience even if this remastered edition adds almost nothing to the original experience.

Eyes of Heaven tries perhaps too hard to translate the bizarre dynamics of the original work into a chaotic brawler which is kinda fun but also very frustrating to play. With no training mode or competitive/cooperative local play, you are stuck to a long story mode with tons of goodies to unlock.

The Crew is a huge racing game with an extraordinary setting and tons of contents that sometimes seriously lacks of fun due to an awful mission design and a bad balance.

I'm sure there are people who will find E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy a very enjoyable title, maybe because of its complexity, its being "old school" in an always more console oriented PC market. The fact is this game suffers from so many shortcomings that it's really hard to recommend to anyone.

Parappa the Rapper Remastered reaches a good level and remains, after many years, a very nice game: technically this remastered is great although leaves a few aspects out and some extra content make it richer the the original one. The result overall is positive, but for a special occasion like this anniversary, honestly, we expected more.

Broken Roads is an old-school role-playing game that draws heavily from revered classics like Wasteland, Fallout (especially in terms of settings), and Planescape: Torment. With its well-established and ever-relevant mechanics, it manages to engage veteran players, primarily due to its intriguing plot and multiple-choice dialogues, which allow for extensive replayability. It’s a shame that certain aspects are neglected, although this can be partially justified by the available resources: with five years of development, more could have been achieved.

Run'n'Gun is a simple, solid and enjoyable endless run, packed with some very nice graphics. What a pity the touch controls don't always work as they should.

Earthfall is a decent Left 4 Dead clone with aliens instead of zombies, lots of weapons but a disappointing replay value.

This is a niche adventure fan of the genre will appreciate.
