Project Zero Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is probably one of the best episodes in the long-running horror franchise, and even if this remaster leaves something to be desired, it does not fail in brining bringing anxiety and disturbing matters to new audiences.

Wizards Unite aims to improve and amplify all the mechanics that Pokémon Go did right: the result is a game that definitely seems more complete at launch, but that at the same time may create some problems to the casual public.

Astro's Playroom is way more than a tech demo: it's fun and brilliant, definitely worth playing.

Blue Fire is full of little gems and totally deserves your attention.

Daymare 1994: Sandcastle is a better game than Daymare: 1998, but fails to become one of the iconic survival horrors of the modern era.

Despite improving in some key aspects, MotoGP 22 still needs a better IA and could be more pleasing to the eye with its graphics. The Nine Seasons mode is a compelling one, still, and the game is recommended for all MotoGP fans.

Originally a nice title, full of fresh ideas and a perfect touch controls, Knights in The Nightmare suffers from the loss of a touch screen and a stylus, offering nothing more than a good story and the enhanced visuals that the PSP can afford.

Shattered Heaven captivates the players thanks to its hybrid gameplay. It's a card game with roguelike and rpg elements that are enough to feel interesting, but it gets repetitive way too soon during longest playing sessions.

Dragon Star Varnir is another step in the right direction by the people at Compile Heart, with a mature storyline and a solid combat system. To achieve higher goals, better graphics and smoother gameplay are needed, but JRPG fans will undoubtedly enjoy it.

Spyro: Reignited Trilogy lives on contrasts. We can be Spyro whenever we want with the portability and a lot of content to experience with a great control system. But also we cannot deny that the portability was payed with lot of technical compromises, that weren’t even enough to give the game a constant fluidity. Perhaps it’s only to those who have only Switch as a current-gen console.

Ride 4 has lots of new modes and content, but the same technical issues with graphics and AI.

Shadow Warrior 3 feels more linear than the previous game, but is indeed fun and over-the-top. Unfortunately, it's way shorter than it should and you are left with the feeling that it ends when the fun was just starting to unfold.

It may not be the "Monster Hunter killer" many people were waiting for, but Wild Hearts has some good ideas that would have just needed more time to reach their maximum potential.

Marvel's Avengers has a shallow and linear campaign, saved only by a brilliant start and the exciting finale. Multiplayer mode offers good mission variety, but the success of the game con be already compromised by the repetitiveness and the generic combat system.

The Baconing is a good and fun game, similar to Deathspank: the fan will be pleased to find again all the elements that made it a success.

We enjoyed our time with Lapis X Labyrinth, especially if played in short bursts with the Switch undocked, but its limited gameplay and repetitive dungeons keep it from excellency.

Rune Factory Frontier is a not entirely successful experiment. Newcomers might find it too complex, but the experience will be tough also for the admirers of the series, who will surely appreciate the full gameplay and situations.

Despite its name, Disney Illusion Island is not a new game of the beloved "illusion series" for old SEGA consoles. It's a simple and well crafted metroidvania with a sweet and relaxed atmosphere that reminds the old good Walt Disney of twenty years ago.

It's a funny sequel, allthough the all times fans should be asking for something more (or new) from the developers. Despite the lack of innovation, Re: Coded is literallly filled with content, and still worth its price if you love the brand.

A captivating and fascinating journey, but an improvable game.

The Diofield Chronicle is a low-stakes bet from Square Enix and Lancarse: a new IP that tries something new in a very conservative genre. We liked the end result, even if far from perfect, and we'd like also to see a better funded sequel in two or three years.

Below is a dark-space opera with strong imagery that revolves around the concepts of darkness and light, good and evil. It is a well-built hardcore game with procedural dungeons and traps. It is not suitable for casual players.

If you have already played the sacred monsters of the genre previously released and you are , like us, great admirers of the splendid artistic direction of Kaminari and company, here you will still find bread for your teeth for at least fifteen hours.

There was probably no need to fix something that was never broken in the first place, and so we think that Rune Factory 4 Special is still a better game, but nonetheless this fifth episode marks the beginning of a new era of games on Nintendo Switch. Let's just hope that the hard edges of the new graphical engine will be softened out soon.

9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a fun take on the beat'em up genre.

We quickly fell in love with Snack World, but just as quickly we grew bored of samey dungeons and a very simple combat system. Still, especially if played in short bursts, this is a fun and hilarious dungeon crawler.

Chernobylite mixes up different genres and tells a compelling spy-story tied to the infamous Chernobyl disaster. However, It needs a post-launch balancing and less repetitive missions.

Considering the cuts to the Resident Evil 3 campaign, Resident Evil: Resistance is certainly content that manages to balance the overall value of the product rather well.

Mushroom Men creates an original and living world but doesn't develop it with own standards. This brings to a good work but it draws on a game very similar to other action adventures or platforms come before. However the people who like these two genre can have fun whit this Pax's adventure on condition that they don't expect much more of a classic gameplay.

Despite an optimization that works only half the time, Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered has managed to entertain us like never before, even ten years after its first debut. If you have never stepped on Red Faction's martian soil, this Switch porting represents a great opportunity to make up for it.

Fae Farm is a nice and cozy life simulator, but a dull cast of characters and a repetitive gameplay keep it away from greatness.

We have tons of roguelites on the market right now, but Ship of Fools manages to feel unique in its own way.

Desperados III won't be the glorious return of the franchise, but it's certainly a great game for the fans of this peculiar subgenre.

Call of Cthulhu on Nintendo Switch succeeds with strong storytelling and captivating choices, but poor graphics and gameplay.

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition is a love letter to all fans who grew up with the 8-bit console, but it's not a game suited for every player.

Oninaki could have been Tokyo RPG Factory's best work to date, but ends up to be "just" a solid hack'n'slash rpg with a good combat system due to repetitiveness and a lack of depth.

Fantasian Neo Dimension is a perfectly fine old-school JRPG, fit for both veterans and newcomers of the genre. It's just that we expected a little more from Sakaguchi-san, whose masterpieces we grew up with on both Nintendo and Sony machines.

Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires gives the player a wide and deeper range of possibilities than its predecessors to lead a successful campaign conquering third-century China. However, despite its deeper management and its simple (indeed solid) one-versus-thousands formula, it fails to completely develop its growth from the past, also struggling with a graphic engine still overwhelmed with fatigue and technical issues. Give it a try (even with the demo) and then decide.

Good old vibes and same problems of the past. The gameplay it's very slow and needs great patience.

There's nothing inherently wrong with Disgaea 4 Complete Plus, aside from the high price requested and the complete lack of new content. What's left is a competent and very long running SRPG.

The remake of Butcher Bay is a great work: a classic game with enhanced graphics and the same great gameplay... despite this the new story, Escape From Dark Athena, is simply pointless. Multiplayer quality is too far from today standards, so it results in a valueless feature.

Doom 64 returns after 23 years to show youngsters how a space marine can slay hordes of demons.

As far as soft reboots go, Sakura Wars exceeded at simplifying much of its gameplay and streamlined the experience, cutting any RPG system and leaving just the dialogue to take the highlight.

It’s certainly not fair to say that Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a bad project—far from it—but there’s a clear and undeniable sense that it’s a far less daring effort than expected. That said, it remains a solid roguelite that, with a fair amount of cleverness, manages to attract genre fans thanks to a wide range of ability combinations and an element of unpredictability that enhances its overall replay value. Still, when considering the full narrative and artistic potential of the world of Alea—with its biting critiques and grotesque tales—it’s hard not to feel a tinge of regret.

Detroit: Become Human on PC has a strong base, but some lazy choices on the settings and the framerate bouncing keep it at a modest evaluation.

A Plague Tale is one of a kind and tells a compelling story about a fascinating historical period. Too bad it is too easy, simplistic and guided.

Tormented Souls pays homage to old school gems like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, without adding something new to the formula. If you are a nostalgic of the nineties golden era, you are gonna appreciate it.

PS4 - TT Isle of Man - Ride on the Edge 2 manages to improve some aspects of its precursor and offers an enjoyable, yet improvable experience.

Quotation forthcoming.

A sort of little spin-off with a great Black Cat character and a list of activities similar to secondary mission, fun but not particularly original.

The remake of Butcher Bay is a great work: a classic game with enhanced graphics and the same great gameplay... despite this the new story, Escape From Dark Athena, is simply pointless. Multiplayer quality is too far from today standards, so it results in a valueless feature.

Ghostrunner is intriguing and compelling for perfectionist players looking for a challenge, but its design is improvable.

We’ve really appreciated the return of Goscinny & Uderzo’s creature in videogame with this Asterix & Obelix Slap Them All. Choosing an arcade beat’em up was a fitting idea, and the decision to merge it with an exquisite hand-drawn graphic was the best way to start a new beginning for Asterix in modern gaming. However, the game reuses too much assets throughout the adventure and it's victim of its own repetitiveness, which prevents him to reach higher scores. Perhaps the masterpiece is not on sight, but the Gauls have taken the right road to reach it.

A thrilling, challenging, and extremely rewarding journey.

Ironward takes a couple of steps ahead in Red Solstice 2, with an interesting yet still improvable tactical experience.

Every child is a dreamer and this game puts this concept at its very core.

If you love Animal Crossing-like games, you will definitely enjoy Grow.

Tin Hearts is an heartwarming experience that could've used a little bit more variety to aim at something more than being just a decent puzzle game.

Dynamic terrain modification and the Reflex control system succeed in delivering something new to the offroad genre. On the other hand, some minor bugs and inaccuracies in physics and collisions make the experience sometimes frustrating. Add not-so-good graphics, invasive soundtrack and a clumsy customization menu and what you get is an unpolished product, suitable just for big fans of the saga and the offroad genre.

Tom Clancy's: H.A.W.X. 2 tries to introduce some variety but the new missions will bore dogfighting fans. It's still a fun game, anyway, especially if played online with some friends, and graphically it's a solid title.

Despite being extremely poor gameplay-wise, Cinders is a fascinating, smart and fresh take on the (obsolete) Cinderella tale.

Aliens vs Predator it's a fun to play FPS. The singleplayer is quite enjoyable if played with one of the creatures, but unfortunately playing as marine doesn't scare as it once did. Aesthetically the games looks quite old on consoles, but it sounds exactly as the movies. After finishing the game, you'll find a complete and quite well made multiplayer mode, entertaining thanks to the good calibration of the three races.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is a divisive trip down memory lane for Ubisoft: it's a retelling of the origin story we've heard many times in this franchise, and a re-enacting of the same mechanics and moment-to-moment gameplay the saga was known for before Origins. It's up to personal tastes if this is enough or not, but we were expecting more.

Dead or School is a bit of a hidden and unpolished gem on the Nintendo Switch, but we found that its pros (battle system, level design and loads of contents) far outweigh the cons.

void tRrLM () - // Void Terrarium does a good job of bringing to the table the core elements of a good dungeon crawler, but lacks something new and fresh to set itself apart from other titles.

INDIKA is a walking simulator with a thought-provoking story about faith, personal beliefs and strong criticism toward orthodox Church and the Russian regime.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War works great in co-op and sigle player. Though the stiff controls, mediocre graphics and nothing revolutionary, it offers dozens of hours of fun.

Valfaris: Mecha Therion changes the genre, simplifies the game structure and loses the complexity of the first game.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 pleasantly surprised us. We're not dealing with the typical licensed title hastily put together as a mere task; on the contrary, we have a game that, while not completely breaking free from the shadows of the titles it draws inspiration from, still strives to leave its mark. It offers accessible yet deep gameplay and a selection of modes that are quite impressive, including a genuinely interesting campaign mode. There are still some rough edges to smooth out, and – undoubtedly – more could have been done in terms of the roster. However, the foundation is here for what could evolve into a respectable series for fans of Nickelodeon shows and beyond.

Ride 3 is the only option for bike lovers. The passage to Unreal is a new start for the franchise and the high volume of the content is a great plus. It's a pity that AI and Physics aren't always perfect and the career mode is as entertaining as it is long.

The idea of bringing the universe of the classic Metro series into a virtual reality adaptation is truly intriguing, and Metro Awakening successfully recreates its signature atmosphere of dread and fear of the unknown. This is particularly well-executed thanks to an intuitive control system and user interface that fully immerse players in the game’s post-apocalyptic world. However, a major drawback lies in the repetitiveness of scenarios and environments, which is further exacerbated by the overly long duration of the experience. The final sections, in particular, could have benefited from being more streamlined. That said, despite its various flaws, the game remains an enjoyable experience, especially if you’re a fan of the franchise and eager to dust off your VR headset (especially the PS VR2) after it has likely been sitting unused for a while.

With over 10,000 cards for your deck, this is the perfect game for longtime Yu-Gi-Oh! lovers.

The bullet comedy extravaganza action game from Volition returns on Switch. It's old and a little bit messy, but you're probably going to love it anyway.

Cris Tales is based on an astonishing idea that could have innovated an entire genre. However, after few hours emerge some issues tied to underdeveloped combat mechanics and a scarcely balanced gameplay.

Fury Unleashed brings you inside the world of animated comics and offers a gameplay that is a love letter to Metal Slug, Contra and the modern roguelite games.

With its beautiful art direction, Greak is a journey you should embark on.

Crazy and fun, Rustler may feel a bit outdated in some design choices, but you must absolutely give it a try.

Quotation forthcoming.

Even though Greedfall it's Spiders best work to date, that doesn't mean it is a flawless action RPG: its quest system and settings are its standouts, but clunky combat and too much repetition are obvious weak points.

Codename: Panzers - Cold War is a quite good RTS, but it doesn’t offer a real challenge because of a poor A.I. and some simplistic gameplay choices. Probably hardcore-RTS players won’t like it, but newbies could be interested in a game easy to learn and play.

A step ahead for the lovers of sniping games, but for the future we hope to see something more unique and distinctive for the franchise.

Spore Hero is, without question, one of the few games that reach the summit of originality. This game is fun and the creature creation tool is great. If you enjoy the genre, or want a decent entry into the concept, Spore Hero will be an enjoyable, if simple experience into the wonderful world of action game.

Daymare 1998 is pure comfort food for all the survival horror aficionados straight from the '90s. Don't expect nothing more than a loving tribute to the Capcom's best episodes (particularly the second).

The gameplay isn't as smooth and is certainly less intuitive, as well as more complex, than the 2K alternative. It is a fun game, without a doubt, but which in some choices is a bit immature and which still has some way to go: we have some technical stumbles, little care in customization and a gameplay that could be revised to be more accessible to the public.

Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake is a 3D platform that fans of the cartoons will enjoy, even if it lacks that stroke of genius that would have allowed it to be more memorable.

Book of Demons is a fun and humorous Diablo-wannabe hack n' slash that is perfect for shorter gameplay sessions on Nintendo Switch.

Even if it's not even in the same league of titles like Diablo III (or II, for that matters) or Path of Exile, Warhammer Chaosbane is a familiar but still quite entertaining take on the action RPG formula, marred only by dated visuals.

Baseball fans will love it, but the game does nothing special to feel like something new – or next-gen.

The fans will absolutely love this, allthough it has a couple of flaws, especially in the overall too-easy experience, in the lame use of the touch screen and in the repetitiviness of it all.

Besides the astonishing art design and the rich and imaginative dark-fantasy world, Blasphemous doesn't know how to mix perfectly the different genres it belongs to.

Mario Golf: Super Rush is an interesting and fun take on golf, but the adventure mode is lazy and could have delivered way more.

Project Cars 3 shifts from simulation to simcade drive style, and the career mode has been redesigned from the ground up. The PS4 version has a lot of serious technical flaws.

X-Men Origins Wolverine is a thrilling action game, and it delivers all the violence and the testosteronic action that Logan's fans were asking for. A great combat system is mixed with good level design; on the other side, the difficulty level is not challenging, and there's a lot of repetitiveness in the second half.

It's a little sparse on content, but Bleeding Edge now offers a fun combat system, stable netcode and quick matchmaking, and that should be enough for a solid launch.

Shenmue III is a nostalgia trip done right and a great sequel for all the fans of the franchise, but, at the same time, just an average game for all the younger players who never got to play the first two episodes.

Mortal Shell is a brilliant take on the soulslike genre, but it is still unbalanced and far from the height reached by Dark Souls series.
