Broken Sword - Il Segreto dei Templari: Reforged is the best way to replay the classic Revolution Adventure, waiting for the fourth chapter.

Bravely Default HD Remaster is a competent release which polishes a beloved classic: still fun and engaging, it doesn't really bolster anything game changing but small improvements to quality of life and visuals.

Unless you can't live without a few new pokémon, Pokémon Ultrasun is a must have if and only if you still haven't played neither Sun or Moon. Postgame content is meatier but most of the game looks and plays too similar to Sun or Moon.

The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark is an irreverent expression of the paranormal imagery that we usually find in today's TV series. The title's biggest flaw is its longevity, which we would have expected greater given its sequel nature.

Aces & Adventures is a nice and well-executed mix of Poker and Magic. It takes a few hours to get into the loop and realize the various strategic possibilities made available by the cards of the five heroes, but at that point it becomes quite enjoyable. This is not a revolutionary card game, but we recommend it to fans of the genre.

Borderlands, is a great game, a strange but well devised mix of kill and loot mechanics from Diablo and a frantic fps. Long and challenging in single player, the game gives its best in the online coop mode.

NiOh: Complete Edition is the best way to play the action RPG made by Team Ninja.

A brilliant and unpredictable 2D action game, that demonstrates how interesting and mature the chinese indie scene can be. It's not a perfect game, but it's still highly recommended to anyone who loves experimental narrative and tight gameplay.

You would complain on the not-remade backgrounds and cutscenes. You would complain on the stretched 16:9 option. You would, but you shouldn't: Grim Fandango Remastered is a great effort of bringing back one of the best adventure games ever made, with nice improvements and a really interesting dev commentary.

Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition is the best Age of Empires 2 on the market.

An amazing and surprising game.

Another hit by Disney developers, with few but welcome new features and the solid gameplay from "Where's my Water". Just don't expect anything really new.

Thimbleweed Park brings us all to the point-and-click era, jumping more than twenty years back in time to discover the truth behind a murder case.

While the F1 series by Codemasters celebrates its tenth birthday, F1 2019 is the best ever with revamped graphics and a nice Formula 2 addition.

WWE 2K25 features a 2K Showcase mode that doesn't hold a candle to last year's edition, while The Island presents itself as a variation on the traditional career mode with occasional fantasy elements but is hindered by a very modest presentation. The storyline behind MyRise is interesting, while the changes made to other classic modes aren’t substantial enough to make them feel fresh for those who have already invested a lot of time in these contents. On the gameplay side, the experience suffers from stiffness and interaction issues that should have been addressed by now, while the visuals range from stunning to downright ugly and outdated: the full-price toll for a franchise that is increasingly struggling with its annual release cycle.

Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist is simply an excellent game. Fun, varied, dynamic, full of things to find. The combat system picks up on the style of the first chapter, but thanks to a slightly more rigid structure, pushes us to make the most of all the moves at our disposal. The setting is beautiful, with many perfectly designed areas and a soundtrack that seems to grab your heart and squeeze it tightly. It's just a pity that the plot leaves something to be desired, with underused characters and a not very interesting plot.

Like Hitman GO before it, Lara Croft GO is basically the same mobile game, only with a higher price tag and a handful of new content. It’s still a brilliant puzzle, but if you own a smartphone it’s hard to recommend this version. 

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty! is a very good remake but it shares a few issues with the first game in the series, namely goofy controls and extremely frustrating moments.

The Binding of Isaac is a small game with very simple mechanics, but it will catch you with its huge amount of contents, great soundtrack and polished graphics. Eventually the flow of new items and bosses will start ending, but before then, those are indeed the best five bucks you can spend in a while.

Shark Dash isn't just an Angry Birds clone, even if the inspiration is pretty clear. Good Sharks vs evil ducks is a funny contrast, and the water enviroment gives an original touch to the game.

Surely a much more mainstream and accessible game compared to the first one; despite that, Gaijin Games managed to create another great product that everyone should at least try.

Rome: Total War is a deep, multifaceted strategy game even on iPhone. The game offers a great number of different situations, interesting managing sections and different modes for a long-lasting entertainment.

Patrick's Parabox is brilliant, there's no other way to say it. It starts with a small idea and expands it again and again, mixing each new insight with the previous one to create larger and larger and more interesting puzzles. It offers lots of content, administered quickly to the player, with lots of optional levels, allowing the more experienced to test themselves and those who struggle a bit more to advance by completing only the easier sections.

Lost in Play is a good adventure with a great style and whimsical, sometimes dreamlike and always humorous tone. It is quite short and not so challenging, but it's surely an experience to be remembered.

Mediterranea Inferno is a successful work with a strong expressive force, in which one can indulge with pleasure while following the events of the three main characters. There is current affairs, there is politics, there is artistic vision, there is psychology. In short, in its own way, it's a beautiful fresco. It's a shame about some dialogues that are a bit too didactic, driven by a certain exhibitionistic anxiety, which clashes a bit with everything else, to the point that sometimes it makes you want to look at the images alone, without reading anything. There are also some minor technical issues, however. Give it a try.

Despite some shadows and a not-so-deep game mechanic, Waking Mars is an amazing adventure game, with great atmosphere and wonderful sound design. A top notch experience from the developers behind Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor.

Electronic Arts once again offers the best gaming experience for all lovers of football. FIFA 14 isn’t a major landmark for the series in terms of innovation, but the changes have such a significant effect on physic and gameplay.

The New Super Mario Bros series finds its dimension in the home consoles, where it becomes an amazing multiplayer game. But it has nothing to share with the innovation, brilliance or quality of its ancestors, and its single player is poor compared not only to Super Mario World, but also to the recent Donkey Kong Country Returns.
