A valuable collection for every Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' longtime fan.

FIFA 20 is one of the most balanced games in the series to date, and has finally slowed its frantic gameplay down a bit, but is not reinventing any of its modes and core mechanics as it looks like a transition title.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 is immediate and playable. The problem is its attachment with its own past, leaving Konami's title many steps behind Fifa 10. The technical aspect is characterized by ups and downs, with great player realization against bad animations and ugly stadiums. Every fan will decide the winner of the challenge of football this season based on their experiences and their own tastes, but Konami with this new edition of its football title, finds himself sadly still behind its closest competitor, although an obvious first step in the right direction finally seems to have been taken.

Right price, seven great old games, lots of options. No retrogamer can want anything else.

You're going to play Valorant a lot in the future, because though it doesn't have the charisma of the early Overwatch, it's a solid and entertaining multiplayer fps experience: rough, high skilled and incredibly catchy.

Beat Hazard Ultra is simply a nice, colorful and fun twin-stick shooter that every player into EDM or metal music shouldn't miss.

Borderlands has been a great game. First of all we have to reward the willingness of developers to propose something different, that we dare to define original. The RPG-FPS hybrid gameplay works perfectly and playing the co-op mode online, the title takes off, ensuring many hours of fun. Combine this with its excellent graphics, in its way kind of unique too, and you'll understand the value of a fresh product, suitable for all those who love to spend their time online.

SoulCalibur VI is a solid new chapter that evolves the combat system and adds new missions to the main mode. It is not a revolution, but it is the best game in the series.

Super Crazy Rhythm Castle it's a real surprise. It's a rhythm game that cleverly plays with the genre's rules, crafting a bizarre yet irresistible experience, especially enjoyable when shared with others. Of course, it still remains a rhythm game, and its quirks will likely make it appealing to a niche audience; however, once you overcome this initial hurdle, it's probably one of the best co-op experiences of the year.

A great adventure because of brillant graphic behaviour, a fun narration and solid gameplay.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 is immediate and playable. The problem is its attachment with its own past, leaving Konami's title many steps behind Fifa 10. The technical aspect is characterized by ups and downs, with great player realization against bad animations and ugly stadiums. Every fan will decide the winner of the challenge of football this season based on their experiences and their own tastes, but Konami with this new edition of its football title, finds himself sadly still behind its closest competitor, although an obvious first step in the right direction finally seems to have been taken.

What we have here is the whole Borderlands franchise up to the third installment for a fraction of their original price and with ports handled with great care. Don't miss it if you love looter shooters.

This year edition is once again a good fighting game, with lots of personalization and depth in combat. Graphics are getting really old though, and there's yet a lot to be accomplished from the dev team.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is one of the best superhero games. Bigger, better and more badass like almost every traditional sequel, this new chapter also shows the limits of the formula that needs to be urgently renewed in the next game.

RAGE 2 is a frantic, mad and satisfying FPS, with tons of possibilities to play and kill enemies and with a very rich endgame.

F1 25 is a solid entry in the series, making clear progress in the visual department and introducing meaningful improvements to the handling model, especially for those using a steering wheel. The enhanced track detail and the full integration of Icons into Career and My Team modes enrich the gameplay experience. The return of Braking Point, with its engaging narrative and well-executed motion capture cutscenes, also adds depth to the overall package. However, the game doesn't mark a true revolution compared to F1 24. Some core mechanics remain largely the same, and while the driving physics are more refined, they still fall short of delivering a true simulation feel. New features like the Invitationals mode add variety but don’t significantly impact the overall formula. This title is best suited for fans of the series and Formula 1 enthusiasts who will appreciate the technical and narrative upgrades, even if the generational leap feels only partial.

Little Nightmares 2 is an evolution of the first game, with a brave second half that tells a more complex and delicate story about the struggle during the coming of age.

A great lovable goodbye to 3DS. Etrian Odyssey Nexus is loyal to the series and to its fan.

An hymn to what JRPG used to be before the FFVII era. Stunning plot, 100% customizable combat system and a sweet, old fashioned style that will drive any RPG fan mad. Casual gamers should really avoid this one.

It’s really unfair assign a mark to this game. It’s unfair not because it’s a bad game, but because it’s complex and almost disrespectful to crush this work into a sterile number. A videogame that is also a “non-videogame”, and it knowingly turns this flaw into strength, telling us a love story that turns into a reflection upon reality and the nature of choosing, surrounding it with a beautiful painting done with pixels.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is really difficult to describe: it's an unique audiovisive experience and we believe that any fan of pop culture should try it out.

If you are expecting from WWE Legends of Wrestlemania the typical atmosphere from the 80s, a more friendly and enhanced gameplay and new game modes, that can make you relive emotions from the past, you won’t be let down. WWE Legends of Wrestlemania does this and more, making of the THQ game a must have for everyone, especially for the nostalgic of the 80s.

DeathSmiles is an old school shoot'em'up with an excellent art direction, frantic gameplay, wonderful soundtrack and a good amount of contents. The product however can be fully appreciated only by the old time shoot'em'up lovers, in search of new challenges.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is an extremely valid crossover puzzle game, but that doesn't do much to offer innovations compared to the first title.

Football Manager 2022 marks a slow transition to a better game, and the third and final version next year promises to be even more exciting. This is is as good as always, but the new elements are less than we would have liked.

Omega Force is really upping the ante with their latest licensed musou: Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes is a very solid and enjoyable musou-rts-rpg hybrid, and we liked it more than we anticipated we could.

A great makeover of the N64 original Everything else is just the same, short campain but good fun to be enjoyed. 3DS controls don't add much to the experience, but at least they are well implemented.

What a fun little surprise Sakuna Of Rice and Ruin has been. If you like 2D action RPGs and have always been curious about rice plantation, this is definitely the game for you.

A good game design and lots of content bring to us the best Yo-kai Watch game so far, even if there are still some things to update.

Quotation forthcoming.

A clear improvement from the previous chapters of the series, starting from the interesting brand new career mode, and finishing on the dynamic weather.

More a data disc than a whole new game, Dissidia Duodecim delivers the same, solid and entertaining experience of the previous game, but it fails to impress as its predecessor did.

Children of Morta finds its ideal habitat on consoles, thanks to a spot-on control system and state-of-the-art pixel graphics. We found it hits just the sweet spot between randomness and sense of progression.

Catherine: Full Body is a perfect match for Nintendo Switch: like Vincent and his C/K/Qatherine girls.

Sackboy is a smart and colorful platform game, filled with fun moments and loyal to its LittleBigPlanet’s roots.

Moving Out is an exquisite party game about moving stuff from houses, farms, castles and other silly places. Suitable for every kind of gamer and even for a lonely player.

Diablo II Resurrected is the best version of the game yet, and a classic reborn for the new generations. Maybe something more could have been done for the quality of life and extra features, but this is still a seminal game for the action rpg genre.

One of the most interesting experience for PlayStation VR. With this game YOU are Iron Man.

Catherine: Full Body is a laudable remaster. It introduces a new route through a well orchestrated twist, but if you don’t want to take it you will find again the same psychological attention and character development. The game is a sincere work about the man and its bonds and will to overcome adversities. You should give it a chance if you don’t have played on previous generation, but this time even the original players may find a reason to come back to block-climbing.

Torna the Golden Country is a great expansion of an excellent GDR and the ideal point to enter Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the simplified mechanics.

Danganronpa Decadence is an almost flawless collection for visual novel fans, containing three of the best games in the genre in one slick package. Ultimate Summer Camp is a weak addition, but you won't be mad at it for a long time.

Even if it's not a particularly ambitious production, Pentiment is a small gem that shows all the love for the late Middle Ages and its art in every single aspect.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown managed to swipe away every possible doubt after its first reveal, proving itself to be a metroidvania well developed, fun and with the right ideas.

LEGO Harry Potter is one of the best works by Traveller's Tales, a magnificent present for the young magician lovers.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is much better than its predecessor in all areas. The gameplay is well balanced, the duality of the gameplay works well and can give you reasons to play the game at least twice. The action is more intense, the scenery changes very frequently, and some sequences differ significantly from competition. Some players will find some choices limiting, such as the inability to use at will the cooperative actions, but we can assure you that the level of quality of the design and pressing action, tend to make you forget the substantial linearity.

Gameplay, graphics, atmosphere: all is in the right place.

The fifth title Pendulo revives an adventure that did not have the desired success, using as pillars surreal dialogues, an absolutely fantastic storyline, and fun from start to finish. Through a series of colorful characters, though very short, Hollywood Monsters 2 shows his best on a technical level, through perfect cinematics and animations.

A fun fighting game, that deepens the fast and spectacular gameplay of the series, but has still some catching up to do to become a real full fledged competitive title. Definitely a step in the right direction though. Also, boobs, lots of em.

A finely crafted DLC that delivers more of the same great gameplay of the original title with some interesting new mechanics and gadgets thrown into the mix.

Dread Templar pays a rocking homage to the classics of the FPS genre, delivering an experience made of pure adrenaline and nostalgia.

Fire Emblem Warriors is surely the best musou to grace a console in recent years: the strategic elements taken from the Fire Emblem franchise deepen its gameplay, making it attractive even to non-musou fans.

Thanks to the passage from the action-adventure genre to the hack 'n' slash with isometric view, Darksiders Genesis demonstrates how the series can evolve without losing its core.

It's completely different from what the teaser trailers suggested, the narrative is missing, the atmosphere is quite basic, characters are just silly. Yet, Dead Island is a funny action/adventure with small RPG influence, delivering fast paced and visceral combat, best served with friends. Consider it if you're looking for a not-so-compelling, light co-op fun.

Episode 6: Hokkaido is a brilliant and good looking episode which offers you a lot of replay value. An absolutely good ending for Hitman Season 1, indeed.

Persona 3 Portable is a good porting from the original PlayStation 2 version, it has another character to play and a lots of features carried from Persona 4. A good deal for old and new fans.

Makes one of the best tactical games out there even better, but takes the safest road to do so, and loses some challenge in the transformation. Still, it's a great expansion.

We expected dragon riding to be quite better, but Dragonborn remains a great expansion pack, rich in content and epic scope. Especially if you played Morrowind.

Teamfight Tactics it's an excellent porting of the League of Legends autobattler.

King Arthur II is a good strategy game aiming at the same quality of the Total War series even if a little bit on the easy side. Sadly it suffered a launch full of bugs that made it almost unenjoyable.

This isn't a game suitable for all palates: due to its difficulty and peculiarity, the title is highly recommended to all the fans of Metroidvania-like games, and in general to those who are looking for a challenge and want to do keep their hands well trained while waiting for Dark Souls 2.

It's still a masterful piece, but this DLC never truly hits the spot like the main game's story did. If you crave some more The Last of Us, and want to know Ellie even better though, you won't be disappointed.

Angry birds Space is a very simple game, but still fun.

Remothered: Tormented Fathers is a good survival horror based on classic games like Clock Tower, Rule of Rose and Hunting Ground. It tells a compelling story that is a bridge between the incipit and the next two chapters of the upcoming trilogy.

It's completely different from what the teaser trailers suggested, the narrative is missing, the atmosphere is quite basic, characters are just silly. Yet, Dead Island is a funny action/adventure with small RPG influence, delivering fast paced and visceral combat, best served with friends. Consider it if you're looking for a not-so-compelling, light co-op fun.

PS5 - appearances—for those who seek in video games not just entertainment, but a chance to journey through, understand, and, in a way, forge themselves. Imperfect and a bit rough around the edges at first glance, yet incredibly solid and deep, MercurySteam’s latest project is further proof that you don’t need a massive budget to create something truly special.

Guns, Gore and Cannoli 2 is a wonderful sequel that knows how to improve the level design. Too bad it is shorter than the previous game.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 improves many elements of the first episode and is a true postcard from the End Times.

UFC 2009 Undisputed is a great and at the same time really difficult game. Different from the other titles of the genre, you won't find energy bars or any other interface, making this game a hardcore simulation. Suggested for anyone who doesn't get scared by a strong experience, as this game is not intended for the faint of heart.

Full of content and familiar elements, it shows some improvements from the previous iteration, but could have done better in some choices.

It leaves some unresolved plot points, but it’s still a hard hitting and brutal adventure, that maintains the usual quality level we’ve come to expect from Telltale products.

Ruthless and emotionally destabilizing, This War of Mine is the merciless portrait of what evil man is capable of causing. The conflict saw through the eyes of civilians is terrible at least as that experienced by soldiers on the fields of war.

The Director’s Cut is not only the return of one of the greatest exponents of "point and click adventure” but even is better than the original by a series of new puzzles, new phases of gameplay and new scenes. The music is very beautiful and sound effects play their work too, recreating a charming atmosphere. The only flaw is the little screen of the Nintendo DS that doesn’t allow us to appreciate all the graphic details.

Lots of huge improvements, finally Guardian has been reimplemented and we are now able to play with one of the greatest TPS of this gen.

Shenmue 1 & 2 are two of the most influential videogames ever. The new generations of post-millennial can now discover the origin of the myth.

The adventures on the ski slopes of Mario and Sonic convinced more than those on athletic tracks of Beijing. The single player mode, unlike many other party games, manages to keep up the interest of those who don't have the opportunity to see their house invaded by friends. It has some defects as an IA not particularly brilliant, and some specialties too similar to others, but overall we are satisfied with the Winter Olympics.

Steel Division 2 improves every aspect of the previous Normandy '44, but there isn't a tutorial and this could scare many new players.

Although it may seem a simple game, Rhythm Paradise offers a large variety of minigames and a surprisingly high challenge level.

We expected a bit more from a “lore” standpoint, but this is still a great expansion, with amazing new weapons and extremely challenging bosses and situations. Quite the treat for Souls fans.

Tales of Berseria faces the struggle of being developed for both the old and the new generation of Sony platforms, and therefore is forced to stick to the beaten path. It still is a better game than Zestiria, overall, mostly thanks to its dark and gritty storyline and believable cast of protagonists. Let's just hope that the future of the Tales series will bring something new to the table.

F-Zero 99 is a true love letter to the fans of the series: after almost 20 years since the last chapter, Nintendo has released the definitive and modern edition of a game that is now over 30 years old.

Thanks to the depth of its battle system (the boss fights are pretty spectacular!) and you can build your characters, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a pleasant surprise for action RPG lovers.

Tropico 3 is a good game even though similar to the first episode (played eight years ago). There are some improvements, but is very similar than the first episode. Despite it, Tropico 3 is an exciting game that requires you a good dedication.

More a continuation of the events of the first game than a proper sequel, Trails of Cold Steel II is "more of the same" done right, as the basic gameplay of the prequel didn't need changes. While a no brainer for veterans, this second chapter is not recommended for newcomers, who should pick up the first title to have an understanding of the world and characters.

With some new good ideas, like the opportunity to explore freely Middle Earth, great characters and a nice settings, Lego Lord of the Rings is clearly the best LEGO game so far.

After a disappointing remaster dedicated to Tales of Symphonia, Bandai Namco gives the Baten Kaitos franchise the treatment it deserved, gifting us with a solid remaster of two of the most obscure but also most appreciated GameCube JRPGs.

Rakuen offers all of the emotional themes expected from a game inspired by the excellent To the Moon, including a very good story, a great music, an appealing art design and interesting characters.

Not everything is perfect in Have a Nice Death, but the intriguing structure and the amazing art direction give to this game a lot to say and to be proud of.

F1 Manger 2024 has finally managed to include the much-loved custom career. This raises the bar of the competition and presents us with a game with solid foundations, but also capable of renewing itself. A fun, competitive title that tests us in many different situations. Overall, therefore, a very respectable manager this year too.

Transformers fans can't miss this game. It has good gameplay, a lot of variety and nice graphics. Sadly it lost the co-op but still remains one of the best Transformers games yet.

Ghost 1.0 is a great Metroidvania, with some defects as an irregular difficulty curve and some game design choices that do not always work well. However, the plot is well-written and the gameplay is extremely functional.

Castlevania Advance Collection is a great nostalgic experience, a pure 2D action adventure compilation.

Outlast 2 investigates human perversion from the point of view of a pseudo-religion and its most obscene drifts. It keeps the structure of the previous chapter and manages to satisfy hardcore horror lovers.

Bethesda's task when converting Skyrim to Playstation VR was not a simple one, but we can now say that they've achieved their goal, creating a new and exciting version of the game we all know and love.

MotorStorm RC is a very good arcade racing game. For just 5,99 Euros you cannot ask anything else.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War on Switch adds nothing new, but it is - like four years ago - the same wonderful game.

Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King is a great Zelda-like game that reminds masterpieces like A Link to the Past. It fits perfectly on the Switch and is funny and entertaining.

Moss is a charming puzzle game that every Playstation VR owner should play.

The Messenger is yet another quality indie title that comes to Nintendo Switch this year: if you've grown up playing Ninja Gaiden or any Castlevania game (both pre and post Symphony of the Night), this is the adventure you've been waiting for.
