SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is exactly the kind of game that we could expect from the Nickelodeon franchise. It's a 3D adventure with emphasis on its platforming action and some small puzzles, very old school as a tie-in and quite simplistic in its mechanics, it retains at least the enjoyable spirit of the animated series.

A French Ninja is an new character for a videogame, but Join Francois is really something special for this crazy game, with his incredible jump ability and his funny animations. To be rescued by the helicopter, he has to jump thru the roofs, escape from enemies and also from a lot of different obstacles. Urban Ninja is a really fun game, and the low price it's another reason to buy it.

Frenzy TPS with cool ideas and persistent map. Game sometimes lacks balance and graphics are not so great, but Hybrid is definitely a thrilling online experience.

Picross E is a cheap collection of 150 nonograms that fans will sure enjoy, but the lack of any extra or downloadable content makes the game feel a bit too much barebone.

Dead Island 2 is an adventure that in the end disappears without a trace. If you enjoyed the first one, you will probably enjoy this sequel as well; however, if you are looking for something more exciting and incisive you will necessarily have to look elsewhere. But it's nice to look at, somewhat relaxing in company, and despite the flaws it could be just the game you've been looking for.

Powered by a single developer, Banished is a unique city-builder game with a strong sandbox component. Deep and technically well done, is a recommended purchase for all fans of the genre.

Quite surprisingly, Eagle Flight is one of the most enjoyable games on PlayStation VR. With some additional content it could have been way better, like other virtual reality games released recently.

Minute of Islands is a fascinating work that takes the player on a journey of reflection on very delicate issues. The only sore point is the linearity of certain situations and the duration of the work.

A Story About My Uncle is a fast, evocative and surprisingly good first person platform.

Mobius Final Fantasy is a good RPG with card game elements, but it is not the true Final Fantasy that you've been waiting for.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is the beginning of something great, the beginning of a probably radiant cycle that looks to the glories of the future by answering the dark questions of the past.

Metal Eden is a good game plagued by development problems. It can be a valid alternative to DOOM Eternal.

WWE 2K16 comes with a huge roster and brings back some of the stipulations missing from last year's iteration, but it still delivers a cumbersome, slow gameplay that you can love or hate.

More than a great adventure story, it is a fairy tale immersed in the magical realism of a world that resembles ours, but does not belong to us.

Squad Busters comes with colorful graphics, simple and fun gameplay, many elements to unlock among characters and maps, and finally a rather rich progression system, ready to entertain us for a long time.

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for PC is a solid remake, with an intense single player campaign and an outstanding competitive multiplayer, but it's also a bit disappointing in terms of performances.

The Sims 4: At Work is one of the most innovative expansions ever created for the series.

Basically a modern scrolling beat'em up to play alone but even better with friends, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is exceptionally faithful to the source material, being it comics or movies.

Always Sometimes Monsters is probably one of the best narrative driven games of the year. It talks about choices and morality, love and hate, life and death as few other games have done till now.

Strange and charming, World's End Club is really something unique inside the mobile market and a title that should appeal to anyone looking for something original on Apple Arcade, even if it has many flaws in its gameplay.

Hard Reset is a great game, a hardcore FPS that brings to the table some very nice ideas and tests your skills level after level. The gunplay works very well, with a huge sense of impact and a great number of different enemies to fight, and the graphics prove indie games can even compete with high budget titles.

Layton’s Mystery Journey is a convincing new chapter of the Level-5 franchise, with familiar mechanics and a wonderful value for the money. Too bad that the new characters aren't on the same level of the old ones, and the story is a bit dull and juvenile.

Tales of Arise: Beyond Dawn is too little too late. The expansion tells a somewhat predictable story amid tons of basic side-quests with basically no twists to the familiar gameplay: it's OK if you absolutely loved Arise cast and world building but otherwise skippable.

Freedom Wars Remastered brings back a PS Vita gem with much needed quality of life improvements but doesn't add much in terms of content to a game that for better or for worse feels and plays exactly like 10 years ago.

Pocket Mortys is a well done clone, packed with funny lines and characters, but also pretty repetitive and simplistic in its mechanics.

Samurai Warriors 4-II introduces a new character and some minor changes, but it's still one of the best musou around.

Horses is an important video game that aims to scandalize by working within the uncomfortable space typical of provocative art. It has no intention of being harmless: it wants to unsettle you on every level. It is a reflection on the banality of evil, on the anarchy of power, and on how dehumanizing others pushes us to commit atrocious actions. While it evokes the horrors of twentieth-century totalitarian regimes, it is a highly contemporary work that stages mechanisms power still exploits to undermine our humanity. It is a video game that does not seek approval and has the courage to remind us how easy it still is, even today, to simply follow orders.
