A game that could have potential but fails to take off due to the lack of Italian language.

OlliOlli 2 Welcome to Olliwood is better than its predecessor in every way, expect for one: the both of them are infuriatingly difficult, and being so, are not exactly the best game to recommend to anyone who has a normal dose of patience.

Shu has pretty and nice visuals, and a solid gameplay, which mixes classic dynamics with original features, and shows a good level design. The game is suggested, even if it lasts only a few hours and it does not present such strong incentives to play it again.

A tough and challenging puzzle game, which delivers a charming experience thanks to the role of the music. Discovering the structure of the melodies is fascinating, and the difficulty is set on a fair level. Too bad for the control system, which seems to lack precision in some occasions.

PUBG 1.0 might have been released a bit too early and this choice hasn’t paid off when it comes to optimization. Regardless, for what matters (content), this release has a more mature structure that the developers will be able to enrich from time to time thanks to the events and the live component.

Disappointing. Netcode is great, and graphics won’t be downgraded, but for the amount of fun that these modes deliver, they should’ve been part of the menus since day one. If you’re a die-hard fan, think twice. If you’re not, turn the page.

An old school and fun game that nostalgic players could enjoy.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is like a tie-in of 15 year ago with corridors, forced paths to follow and little arenas in which you must fight enemies in the same way. Marvel's fan will adore references, easter eggs and cameos, but it's not enough to make this project shine like a new star in the galaxy.

Beacon Pines is a cozy and fun game with perfect comic-style graphics and an addicting story. The perfect adventure for those who love dark atmospheres but don't like to get too scared.

This upscaling fest is suitable just for those that have missed the original and don't have anymore the original consoles. Everyone else won't find any good reason to spend 20 euros.

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

An intriguing plot, fascinating characters and even a psychedelic trip within your own mind, characterize an expansion perhaps weak in terms of content, such as weapons and armor, but very enjoyable.

Disappointing. Netcode is great, and graphics won’t be downgraded, but for the amount of fun that these modes deliver, they should’ve been part of the menus since day one. If you’re a die-hard fan, think twice. If you’re not, turn the page.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster happen to be both the best version of the game and a giant missed opportunity. The complete graphics overhaul is very welcome but it ends highlighting even more the age of the AI routines and the inaccurate hitboxes, which are both straight from the 2006 version. Still a good and goofy action game overall, but compromises have to be accepted to fully enjoy it.

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

A fun new version of the OlliOlli games, but not without problems.

Yo-Kai Watch Wibble Wobble is a very nice game for mobile devices from Level 5. It's a free to play but it's not too suffocating, and it has some "hardcore" mechanics that resonates from the main game for Nintendo 3DS.

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.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection goes back to memory, with two of the most iconic games from the '90, but this operation only shows the evolution made by the RTS.

With the exception of some small twists, A Crooked Mile is not convincing and leaves the player unsatisfied for almost the entire duration of the chapter. Only in the final minutes a glimmer of light touches the production, though perhaps too feeble to illuminate the entire series.

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.

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition for Nintendo Switch is the best version of the game so far, but this piece of gaming history is beginning to show its age.

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

51 Worldwide Games has all the pros and cons of compilations games, but the price tag drags this game down even further.

Let's not beat around the bush: we didn't like the new direction Electronic Arts and Bioware have given to the Dragon Age franchise. The original idea must have been to expand the public for this third entry, but the result is a game that won't probably appeal to anyone, especially long-time fans. Just give us a Dragon Age Origins remaster at this point, please.

The Thaumaturge doesn’t bring anything groundbreaking to the table and doesn’t quite measure up to its more illustrious predecessors. Yet, it tells a compelling and intriguing story, enriched by a setting deeply shaped by its social and political context.

Solid, fun, free and cross-buy. There's really no reason not to download Zen Pinball 2 on PS4. The table included free - Sorcerer's Lair - is of excellent quality and will entertain a lot. If you have some friends to share the charts, in addition, the value of this product rises dramatically.

Tales of Graces F Remastered is a game that might leave you somewhat indifferent if you look only and exclusively at the graphics. However, the numerous internal improvements, the novel options and the smoothing out of the edges typical of jrpg's of the old era, may bring a new audience to the saga or attract all those who for some reason skipped over this good and perhaps under-celebrated chapter.

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.

This is just the second half of the same game played six months ago on the same platform, and, as such, is a solid and perfectly enjoyable old style JRPG with some rough edges and little courage. If you love the saga overall, it cannot be missed.

It's a pity that Capcom did not invest time and money in this collection, as these are among the best titles that have ever graced the Nintendo DS. No extras, no localization for the Italian market and a steep price cannot be ignored.

Tiny Troopers has no particular ambitions if not reincarnate the spirit of Cannon Fodder with a gameplay geared to maximum immediacy.

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

A captivating and fascinating journey, but an improvable game.

The third chapter of Atelier Ryza is a pleasant adventure to say goodbye to Reisalin Stout and all her friends, until we figure out what the future of the gaming franchise will be.

Defense Grid 2 is a good tower defense, with a simple control system and immediate mechanics which unfortunately are also the biggest limitation of the production. The game is missing the new and bold ideas that usually make the difference, and relying solely on the community may not have been a winning choice.

It’s an interesting take on the usual “walking simulator” and a dividing experience that many will appreciate. The art direction is great, as are most of the dialogues between the characters, and yet the closure of the story isn’t fully satisfying. It could have been... more.

Wizorb is a successful tribute to Breakout and Arkanoid, with good pixelated graphics and precise controls. The mouse support makes this game a little too easy, but at its price it's still a deal.

If you loved Mass Effect 2 you will certainly like Overlord. Unfortunately it only lasts two hours, but every mission adds new pieces to the overall story.

Three good Prince of Persia series title at the price of one. A nice remastering, but not a must have.

A zero-hassle remaster of a great action hack 'n' slash. The combat system is still great, even if inferior to that of some Japanese games of the same genre, and the graphics have aged extraordinarily well. Still, as we said, a lot more could have been done in this remaster.

The new armies are unique and fun to use, and the extra maps seem well balanced, but if you are looking for new single player content or for something to get introduced to the world of Company of Heroes 2, you will find this here. This expansion is recommended only to the experienced players.

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.

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.

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.

Resident Evil 4 on Nintendo Switch is always a masterpiece, and still the same port we have seen on every other platform.

If it wasn't for the extraordinary graphic impact, Lili would deserve at least half a point less and this because the gameplay is not up to the visuals.

It's still a delight to play both Lunar games, as they are innocent and delightfully simple in their plots, but also full of unforgettable characters and emotions, but this package does the bare minimum to make them palatable also for newcomers and not only for nostalgic players. Also, why French and German subtitles and no Italian localization?

Pokèmon Sword and Shield is the result of going all-in in some aspects of the game, completely forgetting the adventure elements of the RPG formula: dungeons and story.

It's a shame that NIS and Falcom both decided to bring Trails from Zero in Europe only after the vastly superior Trails of Cold Steel series. This way a very solid if formulaic JRPG as this does not get the attention it deserves, due also to a lazy remastering process.

Pokèmon Sword and Shield is the result of going all-in in some aspects of the game, completely forgetting the adventure elements of the RPG formula: dungeons and story.

Joe Danger Infinity is a fun challenge and is full of unlockable content, but it's very similar to Joe Danger Touch. So, if you already bought the previous episode, you should know that you will find nothing more than new characters and vehicles in this new episode.

Atelier Yumia is the classic case of a niche series desperately trying to adapt to a changing market, losing what made it unique in the process. The shift to an open-world structure, instead of expanding gameplay possibilities, reduces them to a repetitive loop of activities, while the combat system, despite a few interesting ideas, lacks depth.

Strong on nostalgia and challenge, Odallus is a title that will obviously be appreciated by those who loved the NES era, and enjoy technical gameplay and inspired pixel art.

Saturnalia is one of a kind game, a roguelite survival horror that mixes Sardinian floklore with a commendable visual art style.

Promenade is a 2D platformer with puzzle game elements that offers a unique and fun gaming experience. Set in a fairy-tale-like environment with lovely artistic features, the game successfully captures a child's sense of wonder as they discover the world. Featuring a extensive array of puzzles, mini-games with a nostalgic '80s style, and uniquely beautiful landscapes, Holy Cap's creation delivers an engaging and stimulating gameplay.

Pokèmon Sword and Shield is the result of going all-in in some aspects of the game, completely forgetting the adventure elements of the RPG formula: dungeons and story.

Lego Rock Band is a nice game, with the same gameplay structure seen in Rock Band Unplugged for Playstation Portable; appeal and irony made are typical for the Lego franchise. On the other hand, it’s a real shame that NDS controls aren’t well implemented.

Despite funny gameplay and great graphics, Broken Destiny lacks in terms of content. Just a few unlockables and not many gameplay modes. It gets boring pretty soon, leaving it just to die hard fans.

Pokèmon Let's Go is a true pokémon game, but with too much unnecessary simplification. In the middle of a Nostalgia experience and an opening to newcomers, they didn't find the right mix, but we really enjoyed their passionate graphical work on the game.

Knockout City is a fun gameplay experience, but how (and if) it will find a long lasting place in the crowded games as a service market is yet to be seen.

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

Atelier Rorona Plus, while being a nice addition to the PsVita library, has simply not enough new contents to appeal to the ones who already own the 2010 version for PS3. Still, we're talking about a nice and happy JRPG, different from the usual fare.

Similarly to Code Vein, Scarlet Nexus offers a compelling universe, a smart gameplay and a fascinating art direction, but is limited by asset recycling when it comes to enemies and locations, a confusing plot and little side content. Bandai Namco is off to a good start with new IP, but needs to improve under these production areas.

Jet Car Stunts 2 is characterized by a very good longevity. The gameplay is simple and intuitive, and this fits perfectly the spirit of this title. Nevertheless, the graphics are very poor, but the game is still able to entertain thanks to its good number of levels and variety of tracks.

An intriguing plot, fascinating characters and even a psychedelic trip within your own mind, characterize an expansion perhaps weak in terms of content, such as weapons and armor, but very enjoyable.

Ys Memoire The Oath in Felghana is a love letter from Falcom to both one of their longest-running franchise and its fans worldwide, who grew up with the adventures of Adol Christin and its companions. We're talking about a fast paced action-rpg that doesn't outstays its welcome and will please anyone who's looking for no-brainer action and a stylish soundtrack.

Quarrel is a game very fun and different. Unfortunately, in Italy his success is linked to more than a good knowledge of english: essential to appreciate the game.

It is definitely a valid game, and a beauty when it comes to graphics, but it’s short, can be quite frustrating, and has some pacing problems. If you love action games with some great art direction, definitely give this one a try.

When the Past was Around is a meaningful point and click journey. Its puzzles are more than improvable, but the soundtrack and the atmosphere are captivating.

Sniper Elite 4 manages to offer a unique approach to shooter games, thanks to its deep and articulated sniping mechanics. Yet, the release on Switch doesn't even try to hide its age and feels shallow and forgettable. If you love this kind of game, probably Switch isn't the best choice where to play it.

Among Ashes is one of those indie titles that should be celebrated for its great ability to break out of the box through brilliant narrative and game design solutions. However, it has to curb its ambitions because of so many technical problems due to its low budget.

We are confident that in a few months Little Big Planet 3 will dramatically grow, but at the moment the product that is about to arrive in stores does not have the amount of content we hoped for. If, then, you are one of those players who always preferred the puzzles instead of mere exploration, you will be almost certainly be disappointed.

With a below average combat system, a lot of technical issues and almost no story to speak of, Hob is a hard sell for lovers of the previous Runic games. Still, it is graced by a very good art design and clever puzzles.

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.

Ultros offers a truly unique experience within the genre, and the creativity of the authors in conceiving certain design solutions is certainly commendable. Unfortunately, however, this alone cannot justify a title that fails to achieve any of its intentions other than showcasing a highly artistic side.

A classical, quite short but humorous point and click game, which exploits the topic of time travels to set up some funny jokes and clever puzzles.

Zen Pinball 3D is not a great game and, despite its good graphic, it will not keep you engaged too much unless you love records and rankings.

Although there are far better choices in the ever-growing Switch library, Aggelos is a love letter to action platformers of the eighties and early nineties that will make people in their thirties smile.

Xeen and Square Enix, in stark contrast with what the original development team did 31 years ago, played it very safe, with a remake that changes nothing in terms of gameplay, even where some corrections where badly needed. Therefore, this is nothing more than a modernized version of a good JRPG

The last installment in an evergreen franchise, Pac-Man 256 smartly renews the game's original concept, transforming it into an endless runner arcade for hardcore puzzle game fans. This PC/console porting adds the coop multiplayer mode, an excellent addition to an already addicting game, and a little bit of monotonous 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.

NBA 2K25 remains a great game for basketball enthusiasts and makes strides compared to its predecessor, but it doesn’t hide the fact that it knows it can rest comfortably on its throne, especially since no one is even trying to challenge it.

The Metronomicon is a good product, refined and polished. Rhythm game ethusiasts will probably love it but this is not for sure a game for everybody. The gameplay is neat and structured. The rpg elements add a strategic twist to the adventure, bringing innovation in a classic genre in which Puuba takes the opportunity to risk and succeed.

Fourteen years after the original release—and one year after its first reissue—Sonic x Shadow Generations remains an excellent video game that deserves to be discovered or rediscovered. The Nintendo Switch 2 version delivers a genuine technical upgrade, albeit with a few compromises. However, the lack of a free or discounted upgrade for owners of the 2024 version is hard to justify, especially given the complete absence of new content. If this is your first time playing it, consider yourself lucky: you’re about to experience one of the best Sonic games ever made.

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.

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.

Othercide is a stylish turn based strategy game, with a lot of innovation and a "beautiful" setting, but every mission is a copy-and-paste and there is a lack of diversification.

Curse of the Dead Gods has some interesting ideas, but must improve in controls and variety. [Early Access Score = 69]

Disgaea 3 has an unique wacky-style that make the game a must-try. Orchestral music is simply wonderful and the power-up system works well. Perhaps, there are serious problem that waste the experience: controls aren’t intuitive and the graphics are reminiscent of PS2 titles... If developer had used real HD sprites and implemented better controls, this game would be a real Killer Application.

For Honor: Marching Fire is an average expansion pack. It acts as this type of content usually does, by adding new elements and modes and trying fixing the pre-existing ones. He succeeds on its task: the new siege mode is very amusing, the new equipment system opens new possibilities to both new and old characters and the Arcade mode will meet the tastes of technical players. But its success is partial: the expansion does not fully correct stability problems of the game, and the new content offered may be brief if compared to the price.
