Control is a great action shooter game, with solid gameplay and a compelling story. The Ultimate Edition adds two expansions and the long awaited next-gen upgrade, that lets you play at 30 fps with ray tracing or 60 fps without it.

DOOM: The Dark Ages has the extraordinary ability to find that balance, impossible on paper, between the nostalgic appreciation of the past typical of boomer shooters and the need to innovate a gameplay that would otherwise risk being repetitive, or in any case unappealing for those who rarely or never approach this genre. It succeeds with ideas that are only apparently banal, such as the management of difficulty or the clever gameplay loop made of gunshots, parries and melee attacks, in a dance that immediately becomes satisfying and visceral to the point of creating a great addiction. And it is therefore a shame that id Software has tried to force the hand by also introducing variations on the theme that quickly become mere fillers that, unfortunately, dilute the action and flatten the experience, also showing its flank to some limitations in the level design. What remains is a game that will drive crazy those who have devoured the previous DOOMs and love spending quality time with first-person shooters. And that's saying something.

The Forgotten City is a great game, even more if you think it's built by 3 people. They deserve more credit and more money, because this game is full of good ideas and a very interesting lore.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a faithful remake that brings Hideo Kojima’s masterpiece into the present with the power of Unreal Engine 5, focusing primarily on aesthetics while only lightly touching the framework of the mechanics. It’s an exceptionally complete edition, packed with extra content, whose purpose lies in its contemporary presentation, the modernization of its core dynamics, and a host of quality-of-life improvements. Its only real limitation stems from the reverence the publisher feels toward the original — and it’s a justified reverence, since Snake Eater was and remains a sensational video game, a magnificent spy story brimming with the brilliant ideas of its Japanese creator. The remake can be considered a success: there’s room for some flair and a few welcome surprises, but Konami ultimately lacked the courage to fully reconcile modernity with the game’s more classic soul, opting instead to satisfy those who desired blind fidelity to the original and daring only when it was certain there was no real risk.

Frostpunk 2 is a brutal city builder with a marvelous political system.

With an improved look and no loading times at all, Spider-Man Remastered brings a beloved adventure and one of the greatest superhero games on PS5.

Hotline Miami is visionary, frantic and full of personality. The game is slightly improved on console, and the Vita version looks absolutely brilliant.

Isaac and his mother have come to terms and now divide the money in equal parts, staging with great class a conflict in which they no longer believe.

An excellent narration and a first-rate horror atmosphere, in association with a great value for money, live down little bugs and a translation not so accurate. Probably one of the best independent games of 2010.

Forza Horizon is a great spin-off for the series, great variety and gameplay, gorgeous landscapes, massive soundtrack and nice free-roaming structure. It's hard not to fall in love with. Those who love racing games can't go wrong with Playground Games effort.

Chaos Reborn is the next masterpiece signed by Gollop, one great turn strategy game to play alone or online.

A small masterpiece for the nostalgia of the 80s.

Ubisoft Montreal's game is a cornucopia of every idea and mechanic seen in the series, inspired by many other games of its ilk and reinforced by its splendid historical background, thus representing a strong step in the right direction. Still, it's an imperfect game, partially plagued by the simplicity of some of its parts and the underdevelopment of some systems.

Batman: Arkham Shadow is a VR game by Camouflaj that builds on the concept of Batman: Arkham VR. It’s considered an outstanding addition to the Arkham saga, a top-tier VR experience, and a title that might encourage purchases of Meta Quest 3 or 3S, especially as it's bundled with these headsets. Although VR might not appeal to all Batman fans, the creators of Iron Man VR have crafted a compelling game that’s essential for enthusiasts of the Dark Knight.

Final Fantasy IX is one of the best Final Fantasies ever made, hence it deserved a better porting than what we got here. We are used to Square Enix's lackluster portings and that's why nowadays it's hard to accept some trivial mistakes.

The fusion between Arkanoid and Space Invaders results in a structure so simple and intuitive that make you think how this hasn't come out before. Maybe it's more Arkanoid than Space Invaders, but the overview is solid and enjoyable.

Solium Infernum is a unique, complex, 4X that deliver a great experience for the genre lovers.

Despite the changes to the UI introduced by the past year episode, Football Manager 2011 remains one of the most complex game on the market, with an infinite number of different possibilities, options and hundreds of hours of gameplay. A must buy for any football fan.

The Stick of Truth is a hilarious journey, an all-around excellent RPG and one of the best tie-ins of all time. A few shortcomings held it back from a higher score, but do not misunderstand us: to South Park fans this really is a masterpiece to brag about.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a precious gem. These are precisely the games we sorely miss: the ones that made a console shine between one blockbuster and another, the ones that the general public should respect. The mere existence of a game like this is a success, but Kunitsu-Gami is also a fantastic video game. We couldn’t ask for more.

Badland is easily one of the best iOS games of the year so far; an atmospheric, beautiful, cruel little gem that really shines and shows the quality of this talented 2-guy team.

Still an outstanding game, however the new features introduced to take advantage of the GamePad are generally superficial and really add nothing to the experience.

A gorgeous sandbox with a plethora of things to do inside it. The series has reached new peaks in terms of quality and quantity, it's a pity that Ubisoft didn't manage to improve the combat system and the AI at the same level, preventing the game from becoming a true masterpiece.

It is sad to play a port so requested from the fans and so badly realized from the developer. It is sad because in terms of gameplay Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition remains a rude RPG everyone has to play.

NBA 2K13 for Wii U is the same, excellent game we saw on PS3 and Xbox 360, plus it comes with some interesting GamePad features. What a pity the developers didn't redesign the UI for the touch screen.

Forget-Me-Not isn't just a tribute. The charming twist to the Pac-Man mechanics is simply brilliant and the last update adds some kind of variety to the mix. It's a shame that swipe controls are so slow in the hardest moments of the game.

Tunic will appeal to all fans of The Legend of Zelda series, even if it lacks a bit of personality.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is the Commandos serie heir, with some camera problems but great mechanics.
