Code Violet is one of those games that is born convinced it has something to say and dies without ever really finding the right words. It leans on a powerful imagery, uses it as a crutch, and then lets it fall, unable to stand on its own. A spectacular failure, and this is its true problem: it is a timid, confused product, lacking the identity necessary to turn inspiration into vision. When you play with the ghosts of the past, you should know how to evoke fear, not nostalgia. Here, neither happens, and all that remains is the feeling of having witnessed a wasted opportunity.

Considering the variety and versatility promised by the development team in terms of configuration to properly enjoy Rise of the Ronin, one has the feeling that the same mixed result has been achieved as the console version. All things considered, some post-launch patches will be necessary to enjoy an even more solid experience: the publisher has already confirmed to us that several updates are on the way, but at the moment know that the launch version needs more than a few technical refinements.

Even in its PC version, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth turns out to be the best thing that could have happened to the saga in the last 18 years. With this new look, and with a level of detail that is truly enviable for those who can afford the highest settings, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the new glimmer of hope for all those fans who felt betrayed by the most discussed and controversial chapters of this beloved saga.

We played Reynatis so you don't have to. Sometimes too much ambition can lead to a wide gap between on-paper ideas and the actual creation and production processes, and this is very well the case. A convoluted story, a lot of technical issues and boring and repetitive gameplay don't do justice to the great soundtrack.

God of War: Ragnarok on PC is yet another confirmation that expertly crafted ports are still possible, despite everything. Stunning graphics (though you’ll need a good PC to handle all that visual splendor), gameplay as sharp as Kratos’ blades, and a gripping narrative that won’t let you go. Sure, there was the risk of relying on past success and resting on its laurels. It doesn’t revolutionize, nor does it need to: it perfects what already worked on the PlayStation platform, with a confidence that few titles manage to maintain. And that’s perfectly fine.

Flashback 2 is a complete mess and it's a real shame, as its predecessor is still fondly remembered by a lot of players. We will probably never know the reasons behind such a failure, but, having spent too much time on the game, what we can do is recommending you to avoid buying it in its current state.

Quantum Error is very far from modern game standards and fails to deliver the experience promised during the promotional campaign.

Stray Souls is a project with too many technical flaws to be good enough. Aside the good prologue mission, the game is very far from the quality shown by modern games.

You're not gonna change your idea of Cyberpunk 2077 with this new DLC and with the new features of 2.0 version, but CD Projekt has now delivered the game that should have been published three years ago.

Starfield aims to be Bethesda Game Studios' magnum opus: it's compelling, entertaining and familiar: it feels like spending time with a longtime friend. This also means that it is inherently old in its structure and in how its universe reacts to the player. It's a shame that it comes with some unforgivable sins, like how dull the planet explorations is, but you will spend tons of hours in the game nonetheless. [Review in Progress]

Diablo IV is a smooth-running action RPG with a beautiful gothic atmosphere and a fascinating open world, aimed even at those who have never touched a chapter of the Blizzard franchise before.

Anthology of Fear plays and feels like a horror game of ten years ago, with useless jumpscares, a lot of backtracking and a forgettable story.

In Nightmare is the embodiment of a good story dragged down in a pit of really bad gameplay ideas.

The graphics sector does not magically become something-other than what it was, but the game performs well both in Ray-Tracing and in Performance, allowing you to experience the adventure to the fullest of the possibilities offered by today's technologies, without rebuilding it from scratch.

Kamiwaza was a forgettable game in 2006 and, unfortunately, it still is.

This will make Nintendo Switch Sports a constantly evolving title that can even double its content over the course of a year or two. The only hope is that Nintendo does not put too much hands on the price of future DLCs and that maybe it can include them in the Online package as already done with other additional content, such as that of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. [Review in Progress]

Babylon's Fall gets wrong everything that you can get wrong in a game.

Chocobo GP is an easy to approach experience, but it can't really live up to the Final Fantasy name.

Despite some intriguing premises, Dairoku fails on delivering a balanced and captivating experience, feeling more like a missed opportunity.

Despite having some interesting moments, The Good Life feels and plays like a crazy mess.

A pandemic later, Death Stranding feels even more powerful, meaningful and precious. A once in a lifetime experience that you should definitely live, to learn more about yourself and how big our achievements can be when we are determined to work together.

This is definitely how do you want to experience and live Jin Sakai's journey.

Evil Inside is a bad copy of P.T., with a shallow story and less than one hour of useless repetition and annoying jumpscares.

Champions of Vestroia is a dull and uninspired title that doesn't make justice to neither the talent of Wayforward nor the original franchise. It's best to avoid it, for now at least.

Tamarin tries to recall the old rare classics, but fails to propose a valid platform that looks and plays like a game form the mid '90s.

Peril on Gorgon tells a compelling and unsettling story about work dehumanization mixed with an intriguing family mystery. Despite the lack of new gameplay content, it is a recommended DLC.

The Island of Armos DLC for Pokémon Sword & Shield is targeted more towards the hardcore players of the series, granting some new, challenging battles for those who are looking for them. Players who are instead looking for story-driven content will instead have to wait for the second DLC, hoping it will deliver something more in that regard.

Curse of Anabelle is everything a horror fan doesn't want from an adventure: cliches, no real scares and a shallow story that lasts less than two hours.

With its nonsensical storytelling and its technical and design flaws, Lost Brothers is, sadly, nothing more than a faltering waste of time.

Dawn of Fear in a true old school survival horror, but is literally devastated by too many technical flaws.

Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory is an isometric RPG set in a dystopian future, but the real dystopia is the game itself.

Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is a bad advertisement for the Netflix's TV-show.

Contra Hard Corps is the worst Contra episode up to date, and a boring and messy twin stick shooter by itself: if this is the future of the franchise, we might be playing the Contra Anniversary Collection over and over.

Labo VR Kit is exactly what we expected Nintendo would do with VR: it's fresh, funny, and joyful.

Left Alive fails to deliver a modern stealth experience. A good story can't save this total mess of a game which sports too many flaws and too many frustrating moments.

Everything went wrong with Jagged Alliance: Rage!

The Shapshifting Detective is a game from the past, a Full Motion Video project that is out of our time. You can only choose between a pair of multiple dialogue options to discover who is the murder or shift from a character to another one. The story is way too simple and is not among the best written thriller.

Bad ideas and bad errors, with glitches and bugs. The feeling is of a game not completed, with no polishing at all.

The Conjuring House went on market too early. Even if the setting would have been perfect for any project, bad narrative, bad gameplay and bad graphics made the game poor in everything.

Needless to spend too many words: Tennis World Tour is a total failure.

CoolPaintr VR can't be reviewed in a regular way, since it's not a regular game. It's a place where you can give life to your fantasies, it's your own atelier in virtual reality.

One Piece: Grand Cruise is an awful experience that lacks both in content and quality.

Wild West Online isn't a real game.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts mystery could be a decent game, but its intrusive microtransactions make it difficult to recommend even to die-hard Harry Potter fans.

An awful porting of a mediocre game.

Saint Seiya: Cosmo Fantasy will forever be haunted by its problematic launch, which left us shocked and perplexed. Until they release a patch that fixes the huge problems this game has, namely the constant freezes in the menu, we suggest not downloading this.

Ben 10 hasn't been very lucky in the videogame industry, and this new chapter is no exception: poor visuals, repetitive gameplay and lackluster level design are only some of the flaws that afflict a game where no redeeming quality can be found.

Rugby 18 is a game with lots of issues: a bad AI, crappy dynamics based on button mashing, a broken commentary system, insufficient animation and so on. In a nutshell: this is not going to be your next rugby game.

If you're looking for a title with similar features, then just buy Payday 2 instead: a game that has already been optimized, perfected, and is certainly more fun than this one.

Don't Knock Twice is an awful tie-in, even played in VR. It lasts less than an hour, jump-scares are predictable and there aren't any gameplay elements despite some interaction with the environment.

Aerea is too simple and repetitive to be considered a good game. There aren't changes of the rhythm of the gameplay and the game lacks its own identity.

Fortnite is a well-crafted mix, a game that takes all from Minecraft and Left 4 Dead to create something new. Unfortunately, this action builder from Epic Games could show everything in the few first hours. Also, it's very unbalanced in chasing the money from the "free" users.

Despite the decent story, Roots of Insanity has an unforgivable amount of issues like poor animations, a terrible combat system, a bad implemented random loot system. It looks like an Early Access game that needs a lot of work and polishing.

Saban's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Mega Battle! is a game with many problems. Gameplay is afflicted by wrong hitboxes, boss fights are terrible, except for the "Go Go Power Ranger Songs" and cutscenes are really boring. Beyond fanservice, there are really few things that can make this game enjoyable.

Moto Racer 4 isn't certainly the series' return we were hoping for. It's an obviously rushed title, made in the hopes of gaining money thanks to the brand's name.

VR Worlds is nothing more than an assemble of tech demos, some more efficient than others. While this could've been acceptable had the game been included for free in the VR package, the tag price makes us suggest to avoid it at all costs.

Uninteresting plot and characters seem the smallest of problems when you compare it to the devastating motion-sickness the game causes and its convoluted control-scheme. The high price tag is just the final nail in the coffin.

Ghostbusters is unfortunately a very boring and bad game. The four main characters have no charisma and they try to seem funny... but they are not at all. The gameplay is repetitive and the player will be bored in no time, and it is really too bad that the Ghostbusters franchise couldn't be honored with a good game that the original four deserve. Because Ghostbusters is simply worth it, this is not.

7 Days to Die is a horrible porting of a game that could be appreciable on PC. The good crafting and building system doesn't justify the horrible combat system, the bad animation and the old style graphic; there are also bugs everywhere. Maybe it could be good for you, but only if you are blind.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII only looks good on paper, with its historical setting and many things to do. In practice, however, it is just the most boring strategic game to play, afflicted with an unstable frame-rate and audio bugs.

Umbrella Corps is another Capcom mistake. There are a lot of competitive multiplayer games better than this, and there is no reason to play this game. That is a shame for the entire Resident evil saga.

Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival is a rushed alpha version of a retro football game, that doesn't do justice to either the franchise or its creator: if you have the itch to play one of the best arcade recreation of your favourite sport, go back to the original or play Dino Dini's Soccer on SNES or MegaDrive. They're both much better.

Bad gameplay and not-so-inspired art direction make this platform a forgettable one. There’s definitely a lot of better stuff out there, trust us.

A bad remaster of a mediocre game. Why someone decided to put money into developing this we don’t and cannot know. If you want to get dirty just jump in a puddle, even the mud is not that great in this game.

Understanding what the hell happened with this game is... hard. There is some brilliance here and there, but in the end the gameplay is chaotic and all over the place, and the graphics are some of the worst we have ever seen. Random frame rate drops and an uninspired campaign complete a mediocre painting of blood and over the top action. Truly a pity, considering the multiplayer had some potential.

It's a broken clone of Five Nights at Freddy's. Really, there's not much more to say on the matter. Avoid it.

The fact that this thing exists is almost an offense for those who can really program horror games. Nothing to see here, just turn around.

Seeing a game like this in 2015 is... well, unbelievable. It's an utter pile of Kaiju waste, with horrible gameplay, dated graphics, and a repetitive campaign.

What an utter development disaster. There are design and technical flaws in this game that can't be forgiven: it's inaccurate, some times glitches halt progress, and some solutions completely lack any logic. Truly sad, considering how beautiful it looks.

The base idea was peculiar, and had potential. Its application is unfortunately terrible. It's really hard to get involved in the stories, due to the bad pacing and the continuous interruptions. There's worse disasters out there, but it's bad.

How? Why? What the hell happened? How could Robomodo fail in such an amazingly spectacular way? This game is the last nail in the coffin for the series, and an utter disaster. The gameplay is broken, gigantic glitches happen every minute or so, the Slam mechanic is complete nonsense, and it’s even disappointing when it comes to pure content. Forget about it.

This game really has nothing to offer. Well, except for virtual curves, but that's a bit ridiculous in this day and age. It's mediocre, both technically and from a gameplay standpoint, and it's only reason to exist resides in the skimpy outfits of the female protagonists. Kind of a sad excuse for an action game.

23 years, and this is how it ends? Horrifying, and not in a good way. Illumination is an utter failure on all fronts, a derivative, boring and disappointing shooter. What a sad ending for this legendary series.

Hatred is a mediocre twin stick shooter, a miserable attempt to shock the audience with violence that turns out to be a major failure.

We like arcade games, and Sparkle Unleashed could have been included in this category, except that it is a bad way of understanding the concept, with poor graphics quality and a simplified gameplay.

Infinity Runner is a failure from every point of view. Born as a PC game and also available on PS4, it hasn't definitely found its place in the market.

The publication of Music On Electric Guitar without any addition to what had already been unsuccessful a few years ago on DSiWare is, frankly, incomprehensible.

Behind a pink mist, Criminal Girls - Invite Only hides a dull dungeon crawler, with a boring gameplay and luck based mechanics. If punishing half naked girls with your fingers is not your bread and butter, you can avoid this game entirely.

Indie titles usually are a real source of support in lean times like this, but if you want my advice, at least this time try at all costs to extend your gaming fasting by avoiding this production. Your wallet and your liver will thank warmly.

The less we say about Club manager 2015, the better it is: avoid this buggy mess at all costs, even if you've already played Football Manager for hundreds of hours.

Sonic is dead, killed by Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. The game is a disaster from the point of view of the gameplay and from a technical standpoint, and in this production there is very little to save.

If you are already tired of Mario Kart 8 and you are searching for a game, I advise any other game on the Wii U but this. Super Toy Cars is incomplete, bugged and a patience-drainer. Poorly designed and optimized, you can buy this game only if hardcore fans of MicroMachines or Re-Volt and you can't play them on the original console or with an emulator. Otherwise you can put your money safely on the next Mario Kart 8 DLCs.

The game doesn't feature an intuitive gameplay and the In-App purchases are way too important. The graphic is nice and colorful but the Micromon aren't original and they were designed in a summary and unoriginal way.

Fighters and MIGs are the protagonists of the worst game now out on PlayStation 4. Given the price, the poor arcade gameplay and the embarrassing graphics, you can buy it only if you are trying to waste your money – or if you yearn for playing something that is really, really bad.

4 PM is not what we want from the new school of storytelling. Exploiting themes such as alcoholism and suicide to make an otherwise unattractive project appealing, is sinister and disrespectful.

Long Night: Alone I Break fails to scare the players and presents a shallow story, saved only by some good character background. We hope the next episodes will do better than this, otherwise this series will be doomed very quickly.

We are sorry to use these words judging the work of others, but when it is the only thing to do, a good editor must do it. Don't buy this game. Instead, consider buying a bitter, cold and low-quality coffee: it's definitely a more intense experience than playing this.

Transformers: Age of Extinction is simply the latest tie-in game that uses the name of the movie without offering something really exciting and innovative. The game has a horrid gameplay and the in-app purchases are extremely annoying.

Chibi-robo deserved a much better return after the GameCube times than this inconsistent and pricey experiment: it's really difficult to recommend Let's go, photo! to anyone, no matter the tastes and age.

After the good chapters that have preceded this Dark Spark, we were expecting something more. What we find here is a chapter that falls short of all the fun, that amputees the online mode and co-op campaign.

This game feels like the developers took the mobile version, improved the graphics and removed some contents. Then, they've shamelessly tried to sell it at a higher price.

The game fails in almost every aspects: the races are quite boring, the events are utterly repetitive, there is no multiplayer and technical issues are always around the corner. If you want to drive a tractor in a videogame, you can actually find something better than this.

It's difficult to do worse than Pac-Man and the ghostly adventures on Wii U: there's a handful of much better platforms out there, both in 2D and 3D. Imprecise controls and a wacky camera are the main culprits, so that even for your kids or nephews this game is not good enough.

An arcade rail shooter without any quality. Simply a really bad game.

Zombeer is a title in which nothing really works, starting from a repetitive gameplay to many tainted choices of game design. Last but not least, the game features a technical component that would've been criticized on the old PlayStation 2.

The game is heavily influenced by the in-app purchases, to the point of becoming a pay-to-play title. Don't Play it.

The problems of Rekoil are many, starting with the unbalanced weapon system to the extremely annoying and frequent visual bugs. The respawn system has been miscalculated. Bad sound, animations and poor 3D models come together to provide a badly balanced game.

Ridge Racer Slipstream is the new car game developed by Namco Bandai for mobile device. The graphic of the app is good, but it has several problems: the number of the cars and the track isn't high and there are several technical defects in the game. The app is not free, but has the in-app purchases anyway.
