Contract Killer Zombies is good as a mere distraction, but when the time comes for you to pay real money to go on, you might have already grown tired of it.

Soul Hackers was definitely born in the '90s and it shows at times. Although the narrative is good as usual and the RPG features are kinda interesting, the clumsy interface and the archaic visuals make it less appealing than it was on its early release.

RIDE 4 comes with some new features that make the experience even richer and more engaging. The new career appears to be solid as it leads us through a long path that becomes gradually more complex and multifaceted.

Comic Jumper is an incrediblt well crafted game, which has too many design issues. Frustration may overwhelm the sheer amount of irony and good graphics.

A.O.T. Wings of Freedom is a surprisingly solid tie-in, engaging and spectacular in some of its mechanics.

Hana Samurai: Art of the Sword is a compelling action game which favors good reflexes and thinking over simple button mashing. The demanding but entertaining gameplay and a fantastic japanese flavor make for another killer application for Nintendo's eShop.

Clash of Clans is a decent casual game that doesn't bring anything new to the genre, just like many others available on the App Store.

Imps in Tokyo does a pretty good job in terms of atmosphere and design, but it suffers from some bad touch controls.

Warhammer 40,000: Deathwatch is pretty solid and rich for a mobile game. Unfortunately the Enhanced Edition is for PC but might still be worth a try.

Quotation forthcoming.

Random and repetitive as it can be, it's incredible how Out There: Omega The Alliance abduct the player inside the desperation of exploration in the deep space.

The Darkest Tales brings brilliantly to life a twisted version of our childhood's fairytales with a combat system similar to the one of Hollow Knight.

Dordogne had enchanted us with his beautiful watercolors, able to fully represent the open, sunny and carefree spirit of the French countryside of the southwest, lulled by the calm and quiet waters of the Dordogne River. Unfortunately, however, the adventures of Mimi turned out to be very uninspiring, both from the point of view of the plot (all in all forgettable) and the gameplay, confined to minigames of mediocre quality.

The last chapter in temporal order of the Great Climate Catastrophe trilogy of Demagog Studio so far is an intense adventure with a powerful message. The Cub, with its post-apocalyptic parkour, is the perfect way to start this 2024: don’t miss it.

Quotation forthcoming.

De Blob 2 is not just a better game than its predecessor, it's also a very competent platform game with many appealing elements for both the young and the experienced audience.

Despite a few new ideas, which don't always work as expected, Dead Rising 4 does not show huge improvements to the original formula: It's a fun game with a bunch of problems and nothing more.

Darwin Project is a solid, interesting battle royale. Visually inspired by Fortnite, the game introduces some nice ideas to deliver a pretty unique experience.

Plants Vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville comes to Nintendo Switch, with a really great conversion.

The audio department is less impressive, featuring music that serves a functional role within the gameplay—with a few tracks that actually manage to stand out—while the sound effects and voice acting (which we sampled in both English and Japanese) do little to push beyond the typical limitations of the genre, offering many stereotypical performances.

Shadow Warrior is far from being perfect but you shouldn't miss it if you love old school shooters with many abilities and a lot of blood.

WRC 10 could be a simple DLC for the previous game of the series, but the developers chose to make an entire new software with just some small changes and a few new features including next-gen support.

Forgive Me Father is not a bad game and knows how to give good moments, which will surely be appreciated by fans of the genre to which it belongs, that of vintage first-person shooters. Too bad that the many ingenuities of the development team are evident, which failed to avoid some design shortcuts or the use of some not-so-exceptional gimmicks to put the player in difficulty. All in all, you might tolerate them, but they certainly keep them from excelling.

Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey is a good JRPG with solid gameplay mechanics and a very large world map that offers a lot of more content than the previous games did.

WWE '13 is basically the same game Yuke's delivers each and every year on Wii. A few minor changes aren't enough to justify the purchase.

Contra Anniversary Collection offers a decent selection of classic episodes, even though there are several alternative versions of the same games.

A.O.T. 2: Final Battle upgrades the original edition with several new missions based on the third season of the anime, new weapons and an interesting new game mode, but it's a bit expensive and also comes with the same old flaws.

Far from being the braindead musou we have learned to expect and love, Fire Emblem Warriors is not just a Hyrule Warriors reskin either but a new, exciting take at the genre. The strategy elements work wonderfully and add layers of depth to a spin-off which captures the spirit of the Fire Emblem franchise surprisingly well.
