Empyreal feels like a completed checklist rather than a full artistic expression of what an action RPG can be. some of its good ideas, however, may appeal to an audience of dedicated players.

The soul of the title, completely conservative, draws heavily from the material of the first chapter of the series, updating it only up to a certain point and never fully convincing: the solution certainly manages to satisfy the fans who already appreciated the experience. five years ago on PlayStation Vita, but struggling to convince everyone else. The sector is full of similar productions, much more inspired and cared for: both from the point of view of the gameplay (which also shows some creative flashes) and from the graphic-technical one, the latter really mediocre. Of course, the narrative itself might attract some curious: the conflict between the virtual and the real world, for some reason, is always captivating.

LEGO Battles is a RTS especially developed for children: some will find it too easy, yet it is undeniable LEGO always charms the most nostalgic players. However, LEGO Battles still delivers a solid and appealing gameplay and a very funny multiplayer mode: such a nice couple of features, yet not enough to deserve it a very good mark.

Slender: The Arrival is a repetitive game which lives on a single mechanic. Graphically well done, it's a longer version of Slender: The Eight Pages, with all its limits multiplied.

A simple and fun casual game, packed with a good number of playlists and songs.

Kirby Fighters 2 is a shallow brawler aimed at kids and newcomers who are just entering the bigger, deeper world of fighting games.

Elegy for a Dead World is an invitation to bring our imagination down to Earth and give it a shape for others to enjoy.

The game is an interesting adventure with a good plot. However the gameplay loses its funny aspect in the second half of the game.

Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is a remastering effort that builds on what was done with the first trilogy and helps deliver a complete package of Tomb Raider adventures in the traditional key. Sadly, however, this batch thrives on objectively worse material than its predecessor, with the fifth and sixth chapters weak on the narrative front, to which the remastering work did nothing more.

With its first episode Realm of Shadows, Batman: The Telltale Series shows itself as an interesting twist on the story of the Dark Knight. There are also some interesting new elements in the gameplay, but unfortunately the experience is flawed by important technical issues.

Soccer Story is okay when it tries to do the Japanese RPG, but bad when it turns into a soccer game. We honestly expected much better.

The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief is a solid adventure that is at its best during the first three or four hours of play, then it loses its grip and dissipates the potential of all the beautiful characters it had introduced before.

Armored Core V has got a huge potential, but fails to deliver because of its unfriendly UI, repetitive missions and online shortcomings.

Afro Samurai is an atypical hack'n'slash game, with excellent visuals and adult oriented storytelling. Unfortunately, the focus mode and the combat techniques fail to keep the clashes interesting for a long a time, making the game a little bit tedious level after level, and in addition to this the platform sections aren't well devised.

Phantom Fury is not bad, but it's a forgettable experience. It would be an iper boomer shooter, but fall short of its ambitions.

Atelier Rorona The Alchemist of Arland is a nice japan RPG with a classic turn based combat system, where you can control a young apprendist alchemist across a variety of situation in the world of Arland. The greatest strength in the game is the crafting system: the player is required to complete certain missions involving the creation of items from ingredients. The Alchemist of Arland is ultimately a good game, especially for fans of the genre.

Ash of Gods: Redemption is a solid strategy games but it has some deficiencies. The game lacks of variety even if it has a solid combat system and few original features like the card system.

GetsuFumaDen Undying Moon is a roguelite that takes great inspiration from Dead Cells, but without offering the most peculiar sides. Konami's is a slower game, devoted to farming and more repetitive.

Quotation forthcoming.

If you are looking for a simple (maybe too simple), fun and "light" hide-and-seek game, MillionHeir is probably the right choice.

Episode Prompto is a way better DLC than Episode Gladio. It's more focused to begin with and much more compelling thanks to a good narrative, some crazy villain and a pair of characters everyone learned to love. It also delivers quite a lengthy content at a somewhat cheap price, making it a nice addition to your Final Fantasy XV campaign.

Rustler finally arrives on PCs and consoles. If you are passionate and remember with joy the very first GTAs and have a heart close to the atmosphere and genius of groups like Monty Python, Rustler is right what it does for you.

MaXplosion comes with some nice graphics and a good number of levels, but the mediocre controls make the whole experience not so worthy.

The Red Lantern has a lot of faults and it's too repetitive. This is sad because in terms of plot it shows a lot of love for dogs.

Kick & Fennick tries to do something different with platforms and puzzle solving, but the result is not as good as it could have been.

Minabo - A walk through life is a simulator with very original ideas, but also with very random mechanics.

The third Torchlight has little in common with its two excellent predecessors.

Really intriguing gameplay, if the player involves himself he maybe forget the poor technical side.
