Dune: Awakening is an ambitious MMO Survival Sandbox, capable of delivering the rich atmosphere of the world created by Frank Herbert. The survival mechanics, such as water management and craftin, are detailed and well-developed, while the skill progression system offers deep and engaging customization. The game introduces some unique features, like an original server structure and a competitive endgame set in the Deep Desert. However, it still has a few shortcomings: the enemy variety is limited, some quests can feel repetitive, and the endgame content may not appeal to everyone. Despite these aspects, Dune: Awakening has all the potential to grow over time, especially with Funcom’s continued support. In short, it’s a must-play title for fans of the genre.

Observer is a brilliant commingling of cyberpunk and horror. It demonstrates how interesting the game concept is and how much Bloober Team has grown.

It's a good chance to spend some 4/5 hours with Jensen and all the cyberpunk atmosphere the fan love, yet the price is way over the top.

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.

The Classics HD Collection can now proudly offer another important piece of videogaming history. Annyversary alone could be already worth the price, for its over the top level design, and the other titles make the offer even more interesting. Perfect for everyone who has missed the last chapters.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond delivers exactly what it needed to: a strong and worthy sequel to a trilogy that ended eighteen years ago. Its gameplay innovations and dungeon-level design shine, but the open-map sections and some late-game pacing issues hold it back. Retro Studios’ attempt to go beyond a ‘safe’ sequel leads to a game that’s excellent, yet unlikely to astonish modern players the way the original did in 2002.

Xillia may have the best combat system ever seen in a jrpg, and definitely a great story to boot. Unfortunately a classic structure that favors grinding and repetition stops it from being the best entry in the series.

FIFA 22 improves things where they were needed and is the first actual next-gen FIFA.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The man who erased his name was originally born as a DLC for the eighth chapter in the mainline saga, and it shows in its shorter length and in the reuse of assets, locations and character models. Still, exploring Sotenbori in the shoes of Kazuma Kiryu is a lot of fun like it's always been up to now.

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd isn't a casual game at all but a game who can try player's skills with a very hard gameplay, combined with a dedicated editor and the funny DIVA Room, giving to the player hundreds of potential hours of play and entertainment.

Still the best soccer game for the Wii public. Sometimes even more funny than its HD version, it really takes the best out of motion control.

Quotation forthcoming.

NBA 2K23 has everything needed in order to make NBA's fans fall in love, but it still has more than an aspect that needs improvement, from the AI to the intrusive microtransactions.

In Other Waters is a pretty unique experience, characterized by an amazingly crafted art direction, but plagued by some flaws in the gameplay flow. We recommend playing it on your TV, because in handheld mode the UI and the text size can become pretty painful.

Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a new chapter of the series, full of new mechanics and with a story written in an absolutely hilarious way. The game is technically quite perfect and the soundtrack is entirely from the well-known masterpiece of John Williams.

A beautiful first try, that deserves to be played. It ain’t perfect, due to some design problems in the second half of the game, but it’s also a splendid title, whose locations and protagonist will stay in your heart for a while.

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.

A nice puzzle platformer, which is not as easy as you might imagine looking at its art style. Pricey, but good.

Despite its price, fan soundln't miss this DLC. Yes, it's just forur new characters, but the gameplay is completely different, and the pros will feel like playing a brand new game.

Wytchwood is an incredibly simple experience, but at the same time it manages to be fun, engaging and ideal for every player.

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

The Procession to Calvary is an intense, fun and bizarre point-and-click adventure crafted with love.

Steath Inc. is a mind-bending puzzle game that deserves all your attention. Brilliant, ironic, tricky, is also a well designed stealth platform that knows how to involve and challenge players.

Days Gone Remastered doesn’t just refine an already solid game - it enriches it with new content and technical enhancements that elevate the entire experience. With the original’s technical issues smoothed out, more varied and polished gameplay, tougher game modes, and advanced accessibility options, this version is a must-play for longtime fans and anyone looking for one of the most immersive and dynamic open-world adventures available on PS5. Yet, the lingering sting of an unresolved ending — and the knowledge that the long-hoped-for sequel will likely never happen — leaves a bittersweet aftertaste on what could have become another flagship PlayStation saga.

Call of Duty Classic is recommended to all who love the series and they want to know its roots. Good gameplay mechanics and an engaging story make this game still enjoyable in 2009.

The Persistence takes every element from a traditional roguelike and brings them to the next level in Virtual Reality. This sci-fi explorative adventure is a polished experience, from the graphics quality to the exceptional sound design. The gameplay offers procedurally-generated levels and a vast array of power-ups and weapons, all available for you to customize your character in the best way. The Persistence is a must have if you are looking for a fresh new VR horror adventure on PS4.

Beautiful and surprising, forma.8 is a great mix of platform gaming and atmosphere from "another world", with a lot of puzzles.

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.

Toy Story 3 is a game that can be played by any kind of gamer, from the most young to the lover of the Pixar saga. It's a complete journey in the new adventure of Woody and Co. Recommended!

Four well designed multiplayer maps and a new Zombie's scenario. Every Call of Duty Black Ops fan will enjoy this pack.

EA Sports FC 26 doesn’t radically change the formula it has stuck to for years, but it refines it, smoothing out the rough edges and making good use of the wealth of feedback received in recent times. This is a more self-aware and diplomatic entry, clearly aiming to please everyone, striving to be a safe space both for online competition enthusiasts and for lone wolves who love long career modes. Once again, it offers a polished playground, ready to entertain players throughout the entire football season with its most proven and beloved features.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden has some very good peaks, as for example stealth and exploration, but it also has some missing points, for example the lack of classes and a low number of weapons and powers.

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

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.

Chaos on Deponia is indeed an exciting adventure, full of idiotic dialogues and situations, long running and with great graphics.

A good direction for the souls like, difficult but not unfair, with great attention to its art design.

47's journey in Bangkok sees him in a wonderful and beautifully realized scenery, but the hotel feels (and actually is) small and is far from Sapienza's grandeur in level design.

Lost Words is a touching tale with exceptionally grounded writing, but be ready to go through a middling execution in order to get the best out of it.

Riders Republic is genuinely fun and crazy enough to make you fall in love with it. Not everything falls into place, but Ubisoft managed to craft a captivating and crazy experience built on pure adrenaline.

Goat Simulator 3 makes no prisoners and comes out as a fun and non-stop parody of modern open world games. Some of its ideas are way better than others and it lacks that sense of surprise that we got with the first game, but it delivers on its mission to make you laugh again and again.

Bat Boy reminds us of the old games of the nineties, with few hiccups and a lot of reasons to be a must play for nostalgic players.

Harry Potter: Magic Awakened is a better release on mobile than the terrible Hogwarts Mystery, thanks to a satisfying CCG system, but we're still far far away from Hogwarts Legacy.

MotoGP 25 marks its return with an exciting addition to its gameplay modes: the opportunity to ride a variety of bikes beyond the traditional racing machines. The inclusion of minibikes, motards, and flat-track bikes significantly diversifies the experience, making it fresher and undoubtedly more entertaining. We particularly appreciate the introduction of an Arcade riding mode, tailored for players who have limited time or who seek a more accessible and relaxed style of play. Unfortunately, the Pro mode does not feature major innovations on the track, which is a slight disappointment. On the technical side, the graphical improvements are barely noticeable, despite the use of a robust graphics engine. However, it is worth highlighting that cross-play is finally no longer restricted, enhancing the multiplayer experience considerably. Overall, MotoGP 25 remains a pleasant and engaging title, ideal for both solo and multiplayer sessions.

The Wonderful 101, in all likelihood, is going to become a cult classic. It's not perfect, it's not immediate and, above all, it's not the game that will turn Nintendo Wii U into a successful console. But at the same time, it's a game with many great ideas and way more than 101 wonderful moments.

Mario Golf World Tour is not only the best golf game available on Nintendo 3DS, but also the best game in the long running series since the heights of Mario Golf 64: it is suited to every kind of gamer, and thus it is recommended to everybody who owns the small stereoscopics console.

Not much of an evolution for the series, and some stuff was cut from the third chapter (especially the pro instruments), but it's hard not to have fun once your fingers start moving on the colored buttons of the plastic Mad Catz guitar. It's a good time for rhythm game lovers.

Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen is good today as it was back in 2012, as it's still a unique take on the open world action RPG genre. We would have liked some new content and 60 fps, but at a bargain price, it's still recommended.

Fortunately, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen on Nintendo Switch is the same, great fantasy action-RPG released in 2012 and in 2017.

Probably the best first person shooter on Playstation Vita, despite some balancing problems and the small number of single player missions.

My Friend Pedro is the new Hotline Miami we are all waiting for, with a psycho floating banana named Pedro who suggests killing everyone. Lovely.

Don't Starve is still an excellent game on the new Sony console, which, however, is not used in its technical potential. For the same price, this PS4 version is as good as the old PC version, as long as you don't want to play the great mods available on PC. In that case (and in the case of Steam sales), it's better to buy the version for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Shady Part of Me tells a compelling story of solitude, resistance and self-consciousness. Douze Dixièmes' first game is a delicate one, a realistic portrait of a tribulated adolescence.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum'n'Fun is a fine rhythm game, graced by a rich tracklist but held back by a lack of game modes and inconsistent motion controls.

Despite the look and feel, Capcom's Shinsekai: Into the Depths is less focused than desired on metroidvania gameplay and more on pure exploration; world's size is a bit too little for that purpose, but still quite satisfying.

Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland doesn't even try to change the Atelier formula, only adding some new elements to the gameplay that benefit the overall experience but still fail to bring something really new to the table.

A fighting game brimming with passion and care, that every fighting game fan will definitely love, but doesn't have much to offer for everyone else. With more time and resources on their hands the Reverge Labs developers could have created a true masterpiece. We sincerely hope they get there in the future.

One of the best video games ever created about the Games Workshop universe.

KUNAI is a fast paced metroidvania, full of action and explosions, but it's difficult to find in those pixels something new and fresh.

Played on PC, Modern Warfare 3 is as entertaining as it should be, but it lacks in technical evolution, especially on a platform where graphics have been pushed far beyond in the last year. On the other hand, dedicated servers finally do the trick, making it a good choice for every COD fan out there.

Continuing down the path carved by Yakuza 3 Remastered, this fourth installment in the Yakuza franchise doesn't reinvent the wheel, but offers 25 plus hours of fun for all the fans of the series, even if with a barebone remaster.

Rigs manages to deliver fun and thrilling online matches. While some may experience motion-sickness due to the fast-paced gameplay, Guerrilla has done everything to contain the problem. What holds Rigs from achieving greater scores is the small number of game modes, which could make the game boring after a short period of time.

Resident Evil: Revelations is not one of the best games in the series, but had the advantage of coming out between two of the worst chapters. This Switch version is well done and adds motion controls and a minigame.

Quotation forthcoming.

With its hybrid gameplay Wings of Prey manages to bring this particular genre to a larger audience. You also find good graphics and an engine capable of running even on dated machines. A game suggested to all simulation lovers but also to gamers who want to approach this genre for the first time.

A weird experiment in RPGing, filled with irony and non conventional characters. There's a little too much grinding and some old school mechanics, yet it's still satisfying as a whole gaming experience. The budget price is great if you're looking for something different.

Despite some aspects of the game feel more improvable than others, Hot Wheels Unleashed is without a doubt the best game ever made about the toy cars made by Mattel.

Gunbrella is a captivating mix between action, platform and noir storytelling. The game is enjoyable and well crafted, but its level design and the platform phases could have shine way more.

Sonic Colours is a worthy successor of the saga we have learned to love in the 90's. Quick and easy to master, the game brings a lot of fun and it's really enjoyable by all kind of players.

Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[st] proposes a solid and not prohibitive combat system. Thanks to the matchmaking, and stability problems that we found during online matches and also to the not so high quality of all the game modes, we can say that Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[st] is a step below the other Arc System works’ productions.

Lego City Undercover is a worthy addition to the Lego franchise, especially now that is has a multiplayer option. However, technical issues and stale gameplay hold it back from glory.

Skylanders Trap Team is the natural evolution of the brand. This fourth installment arrives on our consoles with new enemies, new mechanics and new Skylanders to collect, without however going to touch a tried and tested formula that already works just fine.

A hell of bullets and perfect old style gameplay that for 800 MS Points you don't want to miss.

Tropico 6 is the natural evolution for the series, but not a revolution.

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.

GRID Autosport performs well, but it never excels. The Codemasters logo is unmistakably synonymous with quality, and in this way we find all the good features of the British developer in this game. The contents are so many, and the hours of gameplay are sufficient to justify a purchase.

Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing is a good racing game, maybe too similar to its rival Mario Kart but still fun to play. Driving with Ryo Hazuki and his fork lift it's an amazing experience.

Tormented Souls 2 faithfully follows the path laid out by its predecessor, continuing to pay tribute to old-school survival horror without ever succumbing to modern action influences. This second installment is made for true fans of the classics — for those who long to relive that nerve-wracking feeling of moving cautiously through the dark, counting every bullet, studying every map, and listening to every creak. As an authentic experience for the nostalgic, Tormented Souls 2 doesn’t aim to revolutionize the genre — nor does it pretend to. What makes it stand out is the confidence with which it embraces its own identity: a heartfelt homage to the masters of the past, crafted with skill and passion. Still, some of the first game’s issues (though somewhat improved) remain, along with a few of the genre’s age-old flaws.

Generally speaking, UFC 5 shows various improvements both in terms of graphics and gameplay. Technically speaking the game is excellent, with an incredible level of attention to detail that makes the title truly pleasant to look at. The blood, the sweat, the blow effects and the animations are truly impactful. The gameplay is smooth and the combat system quite solid, albeit with its difficulties. We also appreciated the tons of contents, the new online career and the more classic one, which, however, is a bit monotonous in the long run. In short, a title that is very funny to play, very impressive graphically and very complex in the combat system.

Do not be fooled by the seemingly simple mechanics, this game is hardcore turn based strategy at its finest and even gaming veterans will have a hard time mastering it. Definitely a must buy if you like the genre, considering the low price tag.

We enjoyed Trails of Cold Steel II as much as the first chapter, and that's a great compliment, as we're talking about two of the best JRPGs available at the moment for PS4. Just be sure to play Trails of Cold Steel first.

Hitman: Blood Money Reprisal still stands as an excellent chapter in Agent 47's saga, taking us back to the heart of the '00s with more compact levels, though not entirely sacrificing the freedom offered to the player. The game has aged better than we might have expected, at least in terms of gameplay, and the mobile conversion work has proven to be quite good overall. Nevertheless, we hesitate to call this version the best way to do justice to the game, as it still remains more enjoyable in its console releases, of course.

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.

Despite some balancing problems that simplify the game difficulty, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 - Reunion is a work of love that respects the original game and its unforgettable story.

Harmonix tries to renew Frequency and Amplitude's game mechanics in a new game. For less than 15 euros Rock Band Blitz offers 25 new tracks that can be also played in Rock Band 3 at no additional charge.

Once again, the extraordinary capacity of Dontnod to tell stories leaves a mark, this time inferring doubts in the mind of the player and unleashing a couple of punches in the stomach that led us to think about our possibly wrong in-game choices.

Amnesia Collection is the perfect opportunity for PS4 owners to embrace the horror created by Frictional Games. It contains the Dark Descent, its DLC Justine and A Machine for Pigs, and they are quite identical to the PC versions.

If you are looking for a fun third-person shooter, well-crafted, rich in content and sold at a honest price, there's really no reason not to install Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare on your PC.

Like many jack-of-all-trades games on the market, Rune Factory 4 ends up being master-of-nothing. Still, the sheer quantity of things to do, the freedom given to the player and the quirkiness of some of his characters may be enough to give it a try.

The first of the DLCs of The Legend Of Zelda Breath of The Wild, has two interesting new modes to make the end-game more engaging and new gear to make it more enjoyable.

The PS4 version of Tacoma doesn't add anything new to the PC and Xbox One ones, and thus is still a compelling and emotional journey to the space that we strongly recommend you take.

A unique experience with an incredible atmosphere: it leaves too many unanswered questions, but the five hours of gameplay flow by quickly.

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical is a must-play for visual novel lovers, thanks to an engaging story, a rich cast of characters and a compelling original soundtrack.

Atelier Shallie Plus adds not enough new content to recommend this version over the PS3 original, even because the new platform brings also new problems, such as empty environments and a choppy framerate. Not bad if you're a fan of the series, but in this case you've probably already played this game three years ago.

Eugen System again delivers a really good product: a gorgeous-looking simulative strategic game that embodies the cold war perfectly. The only downside is that it doesn't deliver enough new things for what you pay. Avoid it if you're a newcomer.

A great game, as always, with a bad in-game purchases system and few aging problems.

It’s still a touching, dark and powerful experience, but the limited impact of the children on the gameplay, the interface problems and the higher price make us favour the PC version of the game.

Honor of Kings is one of the best MOBA games for mobile: it excels in content, animations, and graphics. The game features numerous events and challenges to complete and provides the opportunity to participate in the eSports scene.
