Red Dead Redemption is the best you could expect from Rockstar: a deep and lasting experience crowded with interesting characters and appealing missions.

It's still a brutal experience, surely the most difficult game of this generation. The idea of setting it in a wider world even raises the bar, but the freshness of the first one is sadly gone.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is the pinnacle of more than twenty years making extraordinary JRPGS from Monolith Soft. Not even Switch hardware limitations could restrain tetsuya Takahashi's vision. Long live this way of making games, long live Monolith Soft.

After six years of life World Of Warcraft is still the top game in his category, Blizzard has done a great work revamping old zones and adding new content so that beginners and experts can enjoy the game in the same way.

Spec Ops, both Missions and Survivals, are a lot of fun, but the true heart of it all is in the competitive multiplayer.

It lacks in innovation, but it's still the best shooter on HD consoles.

The greatest strengths of the production lie in the gameplay built around what are the real capabilities of Batman, mixing action and stealth section, but always related with the universe from which have been extrapolated.

Pokèmon Sun is everything we wanted from this pokèmon generation. New mechanics, Alola Forms and Z Moves are the new great changes to the metagame and make this game excellent.

It really emproves on its predecessor's original formula. The simulation feels more tight and controlled, and at the same time gifted with an incredible first person driving experience. It might not be suited to simulation fanatics, for its sometimes forgiving and inaccurate phisycs, but it is once again an original and thrilling take on Turismo driving. Excellent graphics, Autolog, a long career mode and some multiplayer goodness make it worth all of its price.

A superb design, compelling gameplay (easy to learn but hard to master), and a good storytelling make Kamiya's return much appreciated. Rest in peace Dante, we all fell in love with a (much more) beautiful witch.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the 2012 masterpiece of online multiplayer first person shooters. True to itself, beautiful to see and amazingly harsh and fun to play.

Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is a dream come true, a full remake that surpasses all expectations.

Street Fighter 6 once again proves itself to be an outstanding fighting game, even on the Switch 2. The graphical downgrade is minor and most noticeable in handheld mode, while on a 4K TV the differences compared to more powerful consoles are significantly reduced. Being able to play it on the go is a major plus—especially since, unlike the original launch version from two years ago, this one includes all Season 1 and 2 characters at no extra cost. It also features two simple but fun exclusive modes designed for casual play with friends. The only major drawback is the World Tour mode, which runs at just 30 fps—something that can be quite frustrating. Aside from that, though, we’re still talking about one of the best fighting games of this generation, and it holds up well on the Switch 2. One word of advice: if you’re planning to play seriously, we strongly recommend investing in a proper controller—Joy-Cons are far from ideal for a game this technical.

Radiant Historia is a Japanese-style role-playing game developed by Atlus. The excellent graphics, the gripping soundtrack and exciting history make it one of the last must-have titles for the Nintendo DS.

Quotation forthcoming.

Madness is the name of the game indeed, and you can feel it in every fiber of the game. The characters are crazy, the graphics are crazy good, and the developers must be crazy to have put such an amount of content into a hybrid fps. Far Cry 3 is a colossal title, one that will keep you occupied for a while, and not the bugs, nor the kinda repetitive structure of many of the sub missions are enough to ruin the fun.

Nice storytelling, deep and fun gameplay, some bad-ass weapons and really beautiful visuals makes this game one of the best fps around. Don't miss the opportunity to play it!

Gears of War 4 lives up to the expectations and even improves an almost perfect formula. The campaign introduces a new generation of heroes and enacts the passage from the past to the future, while the classic multiplayer modes and the most competitive ones are very entertaining and might keep players busy for an unquantifiable amount of time.

An accomplished experiment in narrative: Alan Wake mixes a TV serial structure with a basic action gameplay, building its offer in entertainment with well crafted characters, twists in the plot (it won't be Stephen King at its best, but for an action-adventure game it delivers) and a cool atmosphere. Maybe not worth all the long time it took to come to us, but still a very enjoyable mix, and not one you should miss.

Quotation forthcoming.

Engaging story, fascinating characters, a well crafted gameplay and lots of decisions. Sure, there are some minor flaws in the plot, but you can say that Unavowed is a great adventure, probably the best of 2018.

Mortal Kombat at its best!

The Lost and Damned is not a traditional DLC, but a full expansion pack. With an average-action-shooter length and a full multiplayer, it's a sweet return to the Liberty City, from a different yet believable point of view. More than worth its 1200 MS, and a must-buy for every GTA fan.

When old game mechanics and modern sensibility merge in such a glorious way, a smile appears on the faces of a million JRPG fans: Octopath Traveler is an excellent throwback to a time when a whole world was stuffed into a tiny cartridge.

The Mooseman is more then a simple game, under some simple puzzle is hidden the history of a people, the myths and the legends of the ancient Komi.

Despite the change in pace, graphics and tactics, Dragon Age II is once again one of the greatest RPGs of our time, thanks to an interesting storyline, fascinating characters and a fun, over the top dark fantasy combat system.

Hugh and Diana’s adventure doesn’t rewrite the rules of any genre, but it delivers a concentrated dose of entertainment that feels direct, grounded, and enhanced by an innovative and far-from-predictable combat system.

PC version of Max Payne 3 is the best one. Rockstar used DirectX 11 and Rage Engine very well. Consoles comes out defeated.

Abe's Oddysee has shown us how the gameplay of the series is still remarkably valid, and we can not help but recommend it to everyone. Whether you played at the end of the millennium, whether you were born at the end of the millennium, do not miss it.

Two great classics remastered in Hd. Enjoy the fury of Kratos, in the game every Ps3 owner must buy this christmas.

Pokemon Heartgold (and obviously Soulsilver) is simply the best game in the Pokemon franchise and on the Nintendo Ds. The new features (in particular the Pokewalker) and the fascinating region of Johto overcomes the issues of an old gameplay and incongruous plot.

Resident Evil Village is an instant classic, a solid basis for the franchise's future and the perfect mixture between the beloved game structure of Resident Evil 4 and the modern take on franchise reinvented by Resident Evil 7.

UFC Undisputed 3 is the new king of realistic fighting games. It may not innovate much, but what it does, it does perfectly.

Fans asked for Diablo, Blizzard delivered. Diablo III isn't the amazing evolution of the hack 'n' slash genre everyone was expecting, but it's still an incredibly good game that will challenge you like no other if you decide to deeply explore everything it has to offer. Diablo is back, say goodbye to your social life.

It would be a crime not to play this little gem of a JRPG, that shows to everyone (to Square Enix in the first place) where the Final Fantasy saga should have gone. In fact, even not owning a 3DS would be a valid excuse: go out and buy one.

If isometric strategy games are dead, this is the best zombie we've ever seen.

If you expected a traditional JRPG, Final Fantasy XIII will be very disappointing for you. But that's not what Square Enix wanted it to be: this thirteenth chapter is a completely new point of view for the saga, which was in terrible need of a new direction. The plot is intense and built on an enjoyable smaller scope, the battle system is deep and satisfying, and technically (albeit a couple of unexpected flaws) the game delivers. So that's it, a NEW Final Fantasy: if that's what you were waiting for, big time.

The guys at Arkane crafted a fine gem. It's been a while since we had so much freedom and such an amazing gameplay in a title. Chapeau.

Calling it “crazy” is not nearly enough. This game redefines action games, by taking everything to the next level. It's pure adrenaline, and its amazing combat system has yet to be reached. Its only fault lies in the excess of gigantic bosses, where the mechanics don't feel as perfect. If you love the action genre get this game. It's an order.

Blue Prince is not just a game — it’s an invitation to engage in a layered, active process of interpretation. It defies conventions, rewards patience, and values the player’s critical intelligence. It won’t appeal to everyone, but those who accept its challenge will come out changed. A rare, bold, and necessary experiment.

It took a bit longer than expected, but Metroid Dread simply is Metroid at its finest: with a smartly crafted level design that explains why this legendary saga became a reference point, this new Samus’ adventure embodies all the features Metroid fans love.

It's just incredible how the plot can keep you nailed from the start to the very end, how the characters feels real and the whole experience so polished. A must have.
