A fair but unimaginative puzzle game, Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is a good way to spend some afternoons, but the series really needs a twist to go on.

Quotation forthcoming.

A few words on the sound, which is very essential in terms of musical accompaniment, almost absent, but does an excellent job in terms of design and effects among screams, moans and noises that will help make our stay in the mysterious game scenario a nightmare experience.

Spore: Galactic Adventures has a powerful editor and some cool options to increase the replay value. That said, It's quite hard to go deep and create some good mission with just a few examples made by Maxis.

With the Become a Legend story mode, Road to the Olympics it's a nice twist for Steep. This new DLC offer a really far experience from the original game but at the same time it keeps the good gameplay feeling.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands marks the debut of the series in the open world genre and does a pretty good job at it, delivering a huge campaign playable alone or online.

Angry Birds Epic delivers a fun, tactic RPG experience, packed with a good number of characters, jobs, items and enemies.

Styx: Blades of Greed is a game recommended for fans of the stealth genre, despite several rough edges. The story is not particularly engaging, the control system is far from flawless, and frame-rate drops are frequent. And yet, Styx proves to be a sufficiently charismatic protagonist, and the level design is genuinely compelling.

Although the first Code Vein was not a memorable title in the Soulslike landscape, it was still able to hold its own. For this reason, the disappointment is even greater to see how this sequel fails to evolve the original formula and, in some aspects, even ends up worsening it. The combat system remains solid, and the progression system, complex and deep, allows for a good amount of freedom in creating builds, even if it sometimes gets lost in excessive and unnecessary complexity. The narrative, too—less cryptic than the genre's standards and closer to Japanese animation tropes—is pleasant, without leaving a lasting impression. Where the game truly fails, however, is in its world-building and technical department. The result is a Soulslike with good foundations, but today these are no longer enough: in a now rich and competitive landscape, we would have expected a much bolder evolution from this sequel.

Thief is a good game that fans of the stealth genre will appreciate but it has several gameplay flaws that keep it far from being a new masterpiece.

Enchanting to see, boring and shallow to play. Tengami is a fantastic visual experience, but the gameplay is almost non-existent.

The Swindle delivers a challenging stealth platform experience, with lots of abilities to unlock, beautiful graphics and procedurally generated contents to add a lot of variety to the mix.

Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is a good tactical spin-off from the main franchise thanks to some strategic elements able to add depth to the overall experience. However, the gameplay is still the same and the walls of text are very difficult to read on the PS Vita 5 inches screen.

Magrunner: Dark Pulse is a good puzzle game with a strange plot which catapult the player in the world of Cthulhu. It seems an episode of South Park.

A nice crossover between Tiny Tower and the Star Wars Universe, but with all the delights and the flaws of the first one.

New World is a great theme park at its inauguration. Not all attractions are ready, some work well but need to be run in and others are still in the planning stage. There is absolutely no doubt that the foundations for something great are all there, benefiting from a colossal budget and substantially infinite resources, but it is equally true that what we now have in our hands is an introduction and nothing more.

Super Meat Boy Forever is a fun game overall but we feel it's a step back compared to its predecessor.

A lovely puzzle game that will catch even hardcore gamers.

THQ Nordic brings another forgotten great IP from the past back to the market. Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is still a great action RPG today, but not a great remastered one.

WRC 7 is a good rally game, representing a good step forward compared to previous chapters. It's not the best title out there but it certainly entertain those who aren't looking for a too realistic driving experience.

On the technical side Evochron Mercenary is outdated and the narration is really poor, but surely the fanatics of space free roaming will appreciate the opportunity to explore the universe without any limitation and a well-rounded multiplayer.

You can see that Shadowgun: Deadzone has potential, but it's also largely unfinished, with lots of lag, serious crashes and few contents. It's free to download though, so it's easy to recommend to try it and eventually keeping your fingers crossed for some huge upgrades.

Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus is a decent porting of a mediocre entry in the long debated franchise. Although colorful and pleasant to look at, Shinovi Versus suffers all the issues Tamsoft fixed with Deep Crimson, therefore feels like a step backward gameplay wise.

An interesting mix between a puzzle game and a narrative adventure.

Sacred 2 is a near 1:1 port of the original pc release, with his flaws and his strong hack'n slash mechanic. Apart from a weak storyline and a limping frame rate the game is perfect for the players who want to spend a lot of hours looting corpses serching for the best armour and the biggest sword.

1112 Episode 02 is simply unforgivable. Louis Everett has to interact with unappealing characters, trying to clarify a plot that gropes in the dark from the very beginning to the end.

There are some brilliant glimpses in Mosaic, moments that really can bring you to some deep thoughts on your life, but these few moments are diluted in a quite tedious experience, overall.

Blue Fire is not a bad game, but it is heavily penalized by the willingness of the developers to mix as many genres as possible, without knowing how to dose them as they should.
