You either love it or hate it. There's really no middle ground with Don't Starve. One thing is for sure though: it's the conclusive proof that Klei Interactive is one of the most talented software houses in the biz.

Road 96 is an intriguing on-the-go experience with interesting characters and a well crafted sense of adventure.

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 possibility to choose between two different protagonists, a complex alchemy system, and the management of the time for the completion of missions, make the work by Gust an experience as unusual as appreciable.

Observation is a good sci-fi thriller, a step-by-step story made of puzzles and mystery.

As bizarre as it sounds, Anger Foot is quite enjoyable and, despite some technical flaws, it provides players with a wild and entertaining experience.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 is too similar to the previous game to justify a full price. Nevertheless, is one of the finest golf simulations to date.

Paper Beast is a peculiar experience that will give VR veterans a reason to go back to Playstation VR.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is a remarkable remake of a classic from '89, with an outsanding artistic direction and a clever re-arrangement of the original OST.

An experience that touches the soul and the heart, about the most precious present we can make to other people: our time.

Panic Button's work is commendable. On Nintendo Switch, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus offers the same quality of the original adventure, without altering the great personality of MachineGame's work. We can therefore unleash Terror Billy's fury against the Nazi army, embracing dozens of guns and experimenting original mechanics, at any time and in any place. The price to pay will be slightly limited graphics, but that does not hinder the dynamism that characterizes the action-packed gunplay.

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.

One of the more famous games of all time comes to today standards thanks to Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade; even if you don’t know this game and you don’t like 80’s games, you must try Outrun Online Arcade, because it’s a funny and frustration-free title.

Journey to Un'Goro is an interesting expansion pack, with some new pretty good ideas. Maybe the Quest feature could became binding very fast, but Blizzard, also this time, has managed to innovate its game.

Orc: Vengeance is a great looking hack'n'slash and is extremely fun to play, but it's also too easy and the touch controls need a little tuning.

Mixing a strong horror atmosphere and a solid “slo-mo” gameplay, F.E.A.R. 2 Project Origin shines for the extension of the new levels. Its linearity isn’t necessarily a drawback (at least not for “old style” FPS fans), but it could still spoil the fun for next gen gamers, used to much more “open” games. Despite all of this, Monolith’s baby delivers a solid experience, and every FPS fan should at least give it a good try.

World to the West is the best game made by the people at Rain Games so far. It has a distinctive style, a sprawling map helped by a great level design and a successful mix of exploration, puzzles and combat.

I don't know what Untitled Goose Game is, maybe a stealth game, maybe a joke, but it's wierd, evil and fun.

As Tom Hullet said, this Silent Hill is a "fresh start" for the main saga. A new brilliant idea brings the player in a frozen world populated by ugly monsters without any weapons for self-defense. Unluckily, the exploration and escaping phases are completely separated from each other, knowing this the core experience looses its charm.

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.

A good first step for a brand that still needs a lot of improvement to stand by the competitors.

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.

Company of Heroes 3 Console Edition is a good way to enjoy a RTS experience with the controller. The latest Relic Entertainment video game shows several compromises, but the missions give a lot of fun.

F1 Manager 2023 complies with what it wants to offer, but it lacks actually compelling innovations for anyone that played the previous game.

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.

Mighty Switch Force! is a fun and smart game with a good use for the 3D functionality. Unfortunately the game is very short.

Overwatch 2 is not a revolution of any kind, because it revolves around that identity that shook the market in 2016. However, the new composition of the teams must be assimilated, it is promising and rewards good players at the expense (perhaps) of novices. The free to play model seems perfectly in line with what the market offers (for better or for worse), but blocking the original heroes may not have been the best choice. Overwatch 2 is still the fun and captivating game it always was, and now it's free as well. Maybe there isn't too much else to know, after all.

EVERSPACE provides tons of fun and excitement with fast-paced space combat, but the roguelike system involves some repetitiveness.

This DLC for Dark Souls 2 confirms the genius of From Software in the structuring of the maps, and once again offers a new setting full of charm, brutal enemies and many things to discover.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VII had a truly difficult task. The previous installment is still one of the best—if not the best—4X games available and often ranks among the most-played titles on Steam. At the same time, even though no competitor has quite reached its standards, rival games have attempted to innovate the genre by introducing new gameplay mechanics and adopting interesting variations on design principles established decades ago. Additionally, the success of the console versions forced the development team to adapt their new work for a broader, more diverse, and heterogeneous audience. These were three significant challenges, and we can confidently say that Civilization VII has overcome them. This seventh iteration does not rest on its laurels and is unafraid to propel the series into the future, even at the risk of betraying its roots. The game is noticeably sleeker, faster, and more intuitive to play, diplomacy finally has the importance it deserves, and longevity has significantly improved thanks to the separation between leaders and civilizations, which rotate throughout the matches. Civilization VII is an excellent strategy game, but that does not mean everything is perfect. After several hours of gameplay, we still struggle to get used to the new UI, the removal of certain units makes some actions feel overly abstract, and only future expansions will make the game truly complete. There’s no way around it: the biggest point of contention is the inclusion of only three historical eras—a radical design choice implemented by Firaxis to eliminate the chronic late-game fatigue. Despite the good intentions, this decision risks disappointing traditionalists, creates gaps that feel too pronounced within a match, and even within these eras, some phases feel lacking, with crises and objectives that don’t always hit the mark.

High Hell is a hellish shooter, full of non-sense and speed, a pure manifesto of what Devolver Digital is.

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.

F1 2013 is the best F1 simulator of this generation and another great hit from Codemasters. It's a title that demands skill, tactics and commitment, but rewards players with a deep and satisfying experience. The AI and the damage systems might not be perfect, but it remains a great game with tons of content and options.

Battle for Azeroth it's a huge and entertaining expansion, which relies on combat, PvE, PvP, and character development. However, the best is yet to come.

Sid Meier's Civilization VI - Rise and Fall adds new flavor to a game that was already almost perfect.

Madden NFL 12 changes, just a little. It's faster, smarter, more realistic and its defensive AI is improved. If you are a football fan, you'll play and enjoy yourself for another year.

It's far too easy and its combat system seems to be too dumbed down, but we've had a great time with Monster Hunter Stories nonetheless. We can't stop farming eggs and monsters, and we're doing it well after the campaign was over.

COD WWII is a great chapter for the brand: solid gameplay and intense, dramatic single player campaign. War Mode is a great add and, in general, the game is well developed.

It is a port from mobile phones, it has over four years and it shows...but Raging Loop's mix of Japanese folklore and whodunnit story had us hooked until the end, and we recommend it to visual novel lovers.

Blacktail mixes folklore and an original story in a compelling way, offering an interesting experience despite something lacking in its core gameplay.

Even without the novelty factor of the first game, Steamworld Heist II is a competent and very funny turn-based strategy game that will appeal both to newcomers and veterans alike thanks to its extended difficulty settings and wealth of content.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger is not the bold breakthrough capable of dismantling Pokémon’s dominance, but it does mark an important step in the franchise’s maturation. It’s a game that shows courage in trying to build a modern structure more attentive to players’ needs, only to stumble on technical and design choices that drag it back by years.

Shadow Warrior 2 is a magic slaughterhouse that every fan of trash and gore will love unconditionally. The crazy number of weapons and power-up guarantees an unlimited number of approaches to the battle. Alone or with a friend the fun is assured, pick up your katana and a big backpack for all the others death instruments, and go to teach who is the Wang to all the deamons on your way.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 is too similar to the previous game to justify a full price. Nevertheless, is one of the finest golf simulations to date.

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.

Battletech is a good effort from the people at Harebrained Schemes, and the passion poured into this project is clearly visible from many little details. Still, the game is in need of some more polish, and the AI particularly desperately needs a patch or two. Buy it in any case if you love the original license, or everything mech - related as a whole.

Quotation forthcoming.

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.

Those of you looking for an impressive looter shooter fantasy should highly consider purchasing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Just don't expect a revolutionary experience or maybe an actual Borderlands 4.

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

Detroit Become Human is a game so ambitious that it can be considered brave to put the player in deeply emotional situations. It's not forgiving, and the choices are so many that you won't be free from sacrifice and pain. In a modern scene full of multiplayer stuff, going back to narrative is something we can appreciate.

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.

Long, exciting, challenging, epic. All adjectives that fit perfectly to Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, revised, expanded and updated version of the BioWare classic RPG.

A good collection for long time fans that just can't get enough of Capcom fighting games.

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.

It's a complex and rewarding title, interesting for its point of view on Eastern society and traditions. The three new main characters add something both to the narrative and the fighting sessions, evolving the entire brand to a new step. The fans shouldn't miss this one.

A good porting of the PC experience. Maybe some extra content could've made this one a must buy deal, but still if you love the Sims and have an HD console, this must be yours.

Descenders is an arcade extreme downhill freeriding, a real tribute to the '90s.

Cyber Shadow is not only a great homage to times gone, but also a quite enjoyable game in itself. What lacks in originality it compensated by great controls and a spot-on level design.

This is the best work by Kotaro Uchikoshi to date and, considering the quality of the previous ones, this statement says much about AI The Somnium files. If only the puzzles were less obtuse.

Madden NFL 12 changes, just a little. It's faster, smarter, more realistic and its defensive AI is improved. If you are a football fan, you'll play and enjoy yourself for another year.

Lost Ember is a beautiful wild adventure, a journey through the memory of a lost civilization, a travel touched by too many technical errors.

A Way Out is a solid co-op game that tells a simple story about two men that find themselves to be partners in crime. The first half is way too simple, guided and slow; the second half is fun, with a dramatic turn of events.

Death Road to Canada may not appeal to those who can't stand roguelikes anymore; however, all the other players will find here a complex yet intuitive game that will keep them busy for a very long time.

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.

Vanquish is the same cocky, powerful and magnetic shooting experience we fell in love with in 2010. Now, on PC, it's even better with full resolution and no limits on fps, and it represents the definitive edition of this little Platinum Games masterpiece.

House of the Dead Overkill is a funny “rail-line shooter”. New settings, charismatic characters and good graphics make the game really interesting. The title also has few problems; sometimes the frame-rate drops down and the bosses are too easy to beat. Anyway, Nintendo Wii has another good shooter in its collection.

A fresh take on the shootem'up genre, that has its only downsides in its price tag and the little content offered for it. Still, a good choice for whoever loved the '90s shooters.

Bigger and better perfectly fits for River City Girls 2, that manages to improve what the previous entry achieved.

Big Bang Mini is a funny shooter, and it easily provides more quality than most of its competitors on NDS. A try before buying could be the right choice: to do this, just download the Demo available on the Wii.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity it's a bit of a surprise, finally a good musou with an outstanding resonance of Breath of the Wild in terms of story and world-building.

Tell Me Why lacks the emotion of Life is Strange and feels a little restraint in its three-episode structure, however it's a well written story-based game, with a complex and mature plot, and the ability to tell a tale about how extraordinary everyday life is.

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.

Prototype is a great example of a charismatic and enjoyable game, with good gameplay and durability at high levels. Unfortunately the little flaws in the implementation of certain aspects of the technical compartment will weigh more than the many merits for the less attentive user. The title has no multiplayer mode, but the single player experience won't make you miss it. We suggest the fan of free-roaming action to buy this game, the high level of adrenalin and violence won't let you down.

Another great work by Creative Assembly. Total War: Warhammer slowly became an Opera Magna.

Sonic Runners Adventure drag the players into the colored world of Sonic with a satisfying side-scroller platform. The lack of microtransactions is the added value of the game.

Total War: Rome II - Rise of the Republic analyzes a rich and fascinating century, with an excellent historical reconstruction.

If you are looking for some relaxing gameplay, Cuddly Forest Friends has got what it's needed, both for children and adults.

A perfect product for all the fans of the firts chapter: questing is sometimes too easy, cooperative is lacking depth and some polish is missing, yet it's still a ton of fun.

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva is a really good rhythm game with a gameplay different from the ones we're used to see; the background is the JPop culture with songs capable of tons of hour of entertainment.

Granblue Fantasy Versus is the ultimate trick from Arc System Works: a fighter game that's easy to learn, perfect for beginners, but very satisfying at the same time.

If you loved Portal and you're waiting for a product that can deviate from the usual and test your reflexes and patience, you will find in this title by 5 Bits Games right for you.

The last chapter of the second season of The Walking Dead closes at a great journey that lasted about five months and highlights how Telltale has become able to provide a great experience with this franchise.

If you are a Metal Gear fan and own a 3DS don't miss the opportunity to play with this great porting. Only an advice, play it with a circle pad pro.

The nature of the hit and run game sessions is nothing short of perfect for a mobile game and touch controls do not disappoint.

The story and setting are a bit flat, and it's hard to tell when the friendly fire is going to strike your fighters, but, aside from this, Grand Kingdom offers deep strategic gameplay that will surely be enjoyed by anyone who has ever had interest in turn-based strategy games.

For Honor is for sure one of the best pvp games of this console's generation: an incredible combat system with an even better variety of classes draws a painting made for competitive players.

System Shock Remake is a solid sci-fi first person shooter, although it does not go beyond the boundaries drawn by the first and immortal chapter, released in 1994.

Klonoa: Phantasy Reverie Series is the best chance to play two iconic games from the past, two platformers that remain modern and unique.

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

Forgotton Anne tells a wonderful story about the importance of memories, the feelings and some modern problems of our society. Artistically wonderful, the game is a bit too guided and offers simple puzzles.

Football and nostalgia are at the core of Retro Goal and make it work despite some design flaws.

It's a great Dragon Quest experience, bestowed with a great combat system and a good lasting appeal. A better save system and some less combat could've made it perfect.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a great rhythm game, which offers a peculiar gameplay, and some of the best videogame music of all times. Definitely a must for Final Fantasy fans.

Amazingly stylish and fun, Lost in Random has everything it needs to be unique and intriguing.

Lone Echo II is a gem of a VR game and a true AAA production in this niche.

League of Legends bring back the classic DotA gameplay and graphic style adding new heroes and a better battle system. Hundreds of combination of Heroes and abilities make the game suitable for old DotA players and new ones that want to try the game for free. Pretty good matchmaking system and nice server support from GOA actually make this game the best of his genre. Let's wait only for some new maps and new game options.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus tries to renew the turn-based system and it makes it.
