Codename Steam is a great debut for a franchise with a lot of potential, that is worthy of sitting next to the best in the genre, such as Fire Emblem and Advance Wars. The campaign is meaty, the gameplay works well and the cheesy overall tone is perfect for the comic book/Saturday morning cartoon vibe.

Age of Mythology: Retold is the perfect blend of past and present. The development teams wisely chose not to overhaul the foundations of one of the best RTS games ever made, focusing instead on fine-tuning and making significant improvements to the gameplay, which is now much smoother and more modern. Alongside these enhancements, the game boasts excellent graphics and a much more functional and intuitive user interface. The only aspect that ties Age of Mythology: Retold to its original era is the tone of the various campaigns, with a style of writing that may no longer appeal to today’s players.

Even though this is the worst version of Doom available up to now, it's still a remarkable achievement for Nintendo's hybrid console and a good version of one of the best shooters of 2016.

It is not easy to appreciate D4 in its entirety, especially due to the Japanese surrealism it contains, sometimes extremely difficult to understand. At the same time, what you will find is a fine game that is able to provide a unique experience.

Toukiden 2 is both a solid hunting game and a vast open world, and even if it cannot match the ones from the AAA games seen recently (from Horizon to Breath of the Wild), it has more than enough juice to keep fan busy for at least a couple of weeks. If you liked the previous titles, you'll find much more of the same here and a couple of new twists that add to the gameplay.

My Time at Sandrock is an RPG-style life/farming simulator. The game offers relaxing fun gameplay with a stunning post-apocalyptic setting, a very pleasant soundtrack, and an extensive ensemble of extremely well characterized extra characters.

Another good stand-alone expansion from Relic, that once again manage to convince players with a quality product set in Warhammer 40.000's universe.

Simple and exhilarating, Kung Fu High Impact is going to be the king for some Kung-Funny nights.

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.

After the first few hours, we thought of Tokyo Xanadu as an uninspired Persona 5 clone. After more than seventy hours in, we think otherwise: this is one of the finest action RPGs Vita has seen in the last few years.

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is very interesting adventure and recommended for all Wii owners who want to live a unique and fascinating experience immersed in a world seemingly desolate but where emotions are still strong.

A game with a dual nature, one simplistic and a bit too linear, the other way more faithful to the Thiefs of old than we believed this reboot could be. It's a great game and Stealth aficionados will definitely love its gameplay, but it could have been much more with a bit more polish here and there, and a braver approach.

There's not enough new content to recommend a second buy for the ones that have already played it on PS4, but Disgaea 5 Complete remains the best option, right now, for all the Switch owners who love their strategy games.

Another classic by PopCap. It's a shame for the price, a little too high this time around.

Easy to learn, hard to master, incredibly addictive, and most importantly, mocrotransactions-free: this is, in a nutshell, Puzzle & Dragons Z + Super Mario Bros. Edition for 3DS. A unique blend of puzzle and RPG that will keep you busy for at least thirty hours.

The King of Fighter XIV is a great fighting game, with a huge roster and a complex combat system and rich in finesse. Despite the subdued story mode and a non-beautiful visuals, SNK has created a videogame that could satisfy even the most demanding players. After six years, the King is finally back.

Remothered is a brilliant game, with an old school gameplay and a mysterious and engaging narrative background. An Italian success, one of the best indie games of the genre in recent years.

Dragon's Crown Pro is the same great, hack 'n' slash played years ago. 4K resolution, new soundtrack and great gameplay take the game to a higher level.

Mechanic Escape is a 2D platform that knows how to tantalize the player with a good level of difficulty. Also, the price is very competitive and the fun is guaranteed.

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.

Forza Motorsport is certainly a very welcome return. The title doesn't change so much, offering a large fleet of cars, different tracks and a good driving system which, however, lacks some details. The drive system has been improved, but without achieving the best possible result. While driving almost all cars, we feel excessive understeer and oversteer and this makes for some in-game moments slightly frustrating, especially in the single player races.

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.

Weird West is smaller in comparison to Colantonio's previous games like Prey and Dishonored 2, but it's nonetheless ambitious and leaves a lot of choice in the hands of the player. A little gem that needs just a little bit of extra polish to shine even brighter.

Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist totally forgoes evolving the original concept, merely repeating the same formula and gameplay situations, with improvements so bland as to be almost irrelevant. This sequel is still very strong and appealing, but chooses to live off its laurels.

Conduit 2 is the good sequel to High Voltage's The Conduit. It features good graphics and good multiplayer, but a too-short single player campaign.

Entertaining, immediate and suitable for any kind of gamer.

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.

Liberation Maiden is a game that will see you involved in the struggles between mecha. Your mission is to free the Japanese cities.

A surprisingly fun and solid game, that loses a bit of edge in the technical department, but will still be appreciated by any stealth game fan.

Even though it won't go down as the masterpiece it takes inspiration from, Lost Sphear will give longtime JRPG fans all they can ask for, such as a fast and enjoyable combat system and a huge degree of customization. If you don't expect anything groundbreaking, give it a chance.

If you don't mind the lack of polish in the touch screen controls, this is a very fun platformer.

Shark Dash is one of the best title from Gameloft, and the Angry Birds fans will love it.

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

Though it is certainly not reinventing the wheel, Omega Force succeeds in proposing us a far better action game than the recent installments of the Dynatsty Warriors series have been. Toukiden will please all of the Monster Hunter fans who only own a PS Vita.

Legend of Dead Kel is a great DLC. More than 8 hours of gameplay, new weapon quests and an exlusive new tower to build and govern. If you loved Reckoning don't miss this.

A fascinating and powerful editor, that gives a lot of freedom to its users. Right now the number of user created levels and games is still mediocre at best, but the quality is rapidly growing, and the future for Project Spark looks bright.

Homeworld is not an easy name to tackle, and yet Blackbird Interactive did a great job, maintaining some of the brightest ideas seen in the series, and adapting its gameplay in order to support the new location. It is not as memorable as its predecessors, but it’s still a strong and narrative driven rts, that will be appreciated by fans of the genre.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is an epic adventure with a lot of battles, and a new system for an epic warfare against demons. If you like Pathfinder, you'll love this new adventure.

Bloodline Champions is a deep and addictive online game. It's competitive PvP at its best and, if you're part of that group of players who constantly complains about balancing in games, you should definitely download it.

Super Time Force is a game that you should definitely add to your collection, especially if you bought an Xbox One at launch and you are now hungry of good games to play.

Okami HD re-enacts on PS4 and Xbox One one of the most courageous and inspired game of the PS2 generation. An adventure that fuses Shinto mythology and and Japanese folklore into a "Zelda" structure, to develop a great painted legend. If the brush-based gameplay has aged very well, others minigames and some camera angles make evident it's a PS2 game. If you've never played Okami on previous consoles, you should buy it at once; if you already own it, it will attract you only if you're a collector.

Everhood 2 is an original, absurd, and highly experimental game. For these unique qualities alone, it’s worth a try, and we’re sure many players will be drawn in by its story—if it can be called that—its psychedelic visuals, its soundtrack, and its rhythm-based combat. However, compared to the first installment, some newly introduced elements didn’t fully convince us, and the narrative itself quickly turns into a maze of thoughts that are hard to follow.

Little Clem continues to grow appreciably, even if those around her continues to give her too much weight and too much impact to the decisions of a group that should still be totally independent from the wishes of a child.

Last Day of June is a great emotional adventure from Ovosonico, with some flaws in its puzzles sections. Not a masterpiece, but a game that is certainly worth playing.

Dragon Quest III is certainly the best of the original trilogy, thanks to a compelling story and an improved gameplay.

NiOh: Complete Edition is a lazy port of the original game: no support for mouse and keyboard, no settings inside the game (you have to use the launcher). Nonetheless is an edition that offers a lot of contents and all the three DLCs. It is a must buy for all the soulslike lovers.

For those who haven't yet had the chance to play it, the PC port of World of Final Fantasy might be the perfect occasion to dive in the world of Grymoire. However we must also warn you about the lack of some graphical settings, the absence of 4K Widescreen resolutions and the fixed 30 FPS, even with higher resolutions; if all of this doesn't represent a problem then you can test yourself with this adventure without worries.

A spiritual successor of Resident Evil 4, and a game that distinguishes itself by taking some distance from the action packed shooters, and returning to the survival roots of the genre. Definitely a Mikami game through and through.

Though it's probably best suited for younger players and for the ones not very good at platformers, Hal Laboratory's last effort is nonetheless an enjoyable ride with one the sweetest Nintendo mascots and an example of how the 3d effect can help the gameplay.

This is the most varied and lengthy Resident Evil around, but it's also filled with bad design choices, choices that make it only a "good action game". Not a lot considering the name on the disc.

Life is Strange: Reunion tackles the series’ toughest challenge: reopening a narrative wound that was powerful precisely because it felt final. Deck Nine manages the merging of timelines more intelligently than expected, giving Chloe a deep and authentic character arc built on the need to exist in a world that shouldn’t contain her.

MXGP3 is a great MX game. The improvements with the passage to Unreal Engine are visible: physics and graphics above all. There are also some little problems, but they can't ruin the overall experience, which is really entertaining, especially in the first person view.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix is a sort of "best of", including over eighty songs from the previous episodes of the franchise, and adding a welcome Story mode to ease new players into the gameplay. Still, the game can be very demanding and you may have already heard most of the songs included in the package.

Darkwood is gritty, difficult and scary, and these are just three of the reasons why we liked it: the crafting system is good, the atmosphere is always tense and the sound design is excellent. Don't miss it if you like survival horror games.

A big step forward for the brand, served with a funny single player campaign and a well balance multiplayer experience.

Not the greatest PC port around, but it's pretty well optimized, contains all the DLC and it's still one of the best action games around. All for a ridiculously low price.

Warhammer: Dawn of War III is a new starting point, with many new features in the gameplay, but not everyone will appreciate the changes made by Relic. Surely, no one will love the spare content.

Patapon 3 is the third game of the series that originated on the PSP. The game has been enhanced by online and simplified.

Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is a balanced and well-done porting of the Blue Bomber's Saga. It includes chapter from 7 to 10 and show Capcom love to his own legendary creature. A must have for Mega Man's fans of the entire world.

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.

Kingdom Hearts III is graphically exceptional, with a brilliant art design, and its narratives bring almost everything to an end. Rhythm and direction, however, never meet the expectations the saga has established. The music does not fill what had been an essential role in the previous chapters. In the end, the game lacks a real "wow" moment, that certain something to be fixed in the fans' memories, as well as truly immersive and convincing Disney worlds.

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.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is a game that inherits many elements of the past, bringing them to future gamers to discover. There are few problems, but the structure is very solid and perfect for FPS lovers.

Tetris 99 is a convincing mix of the classic Tetris formula and battle royale mechanics.

As its name suggests, Hindsight is a fascinating journey in a story of memories and self awareness. With its touching soundtrack, the experience is a delicate way of telling us a story of an ordinary person in an ordinary world, and this is what makes the game so close and relatable.

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.

Frostpunk on consoles is as good as the PC version, and this definitely is a great news for everyone who loves strategy and survival games. Just don't expect it to be a regular city builder.

Déraciné is one of the best exponents of traditional video games on PlayStation VR, for the artistic work done by From Software and Japan Studio, and is recommended to those who are already familiar with smaller games and want a "complete" title to savor in virtual reality.

The Room VR: A Dark Matter is a nice puzzle game that suffers from VR's current limits.

Finally, a game that deserves the love of Terminator's fans.

Monster Jam Showdown is a highly entertaining and accessible title. The arcade-style driving system appeals to a wide audience without sacrificing fun or content—there are plenty of game modes and a good variety of trucks and customization options. Milestone's offering is enjoyable, convincing, and fun.

Media Molecule took an already good game and made it even better on PS4, fully using the new Dual Shock features and the added power of Sony's home console. It's a beautiful and inspired remake, more than a remaster, and one that will be appreciated by any kind of gamer, adult or child.

Field of Glory II: Medieval is a fascinating more of the same for the ones who love tactical wargames.

Wasteland 2 demands patience, passion and ability to bite the bullet when the game itself seems to work against, and in return offers an all-embracing experience which, despite all the difficulties, players will unwillingly leave.

It doesn't have a fully accomplished driving model, and physics are far from perfect, still WRC is good first shot on the rally simulation by Milestone and Black Bean. The three years licence should give the team the right time to polish the product, and hopefully get to an even better product in the next years. As of now, if you are a fan of the WRC competition, this is your best option on the shelves, even if not perfect and fully accomplished.

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.

Little Nightmares 3 is a two-sided work whose evaluation depends entirely on the perspective from which it is viewed. Supermassive Games has certainly created an engaging, intelligent, and artistically stunning puzzle adventure that seeks to evolve the series’ formula in a new direction.

Pokkén Tournament DX is easily the definitive edition of the game, thanks both to graphical enhancements and additional content. At its core, Pokkén is a game that manages to appeal both to hardcore gamers and casual gamers, who will find themselves engaged by the accessible yet tactical gameplay.

Not an easy title to put a vote on, but definitely and high quality product, whose only weaknesses reside in the excessively convoluted story and the lack of truly innovative ideas.

If you love visual novels, you can't miss Robotics; Notes.

We just can't get enough of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This porting has been a sweet reminder of our first unforgettable journey in the northern region of Tamriel, a magical land full of stories and activities to dive in until you lose knowledge of time. Sure, a couple of visual imperfections bothered us, but they did not cease our thirst for adventure. With Nintendo Switch, Skyrim has just found its new home.

Though has some evident flaws, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a very different RPG: great historical accuracy, well-crafted combat system, a stunning world, with some brilliant ideas and a few awful Skyrim-esque gameplay flaws.

It doesn't have a fully accomplished driving model, and physics are far from perfect, still WRC is good first shot on the rally simulation by Milestone and Black Bean. The three years licence should give the team the right time to polish the product, and hopefully get to an even better product in the next years. As of now, if you are a fan of the WRC competition, this is your best option on the shelves, even if not perfect and fully accomplished.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite introduces some twists to the formula that will likely be divisive for the hardcore fans of the series. However, a compelling story mode and the balanced introduction of the Infinity Stones will satisfy new and old players alike.

The Witcher 3: Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch may not look as good as its PS4, X1 and PC counterparts, but it's still a blast to play and one of the best RPGs of this generation.

Curse of the Vampire Coast is a good addition for Total War: Warhammer II.

It's 2D, it's evil, it's trippy, but it's never frustrating. Zenzizenzic (try saying it fast for three times) fuses classic mechanics from old arcade shooters and modern elements. It's only weakness is the limited amount of this elements, but it's still a great choice for those who love the genre.

It's highly priced, and some of the graphical goodness is gone (especially frame rate), but it's a great porting of a game that still feels fresh.

Bayek returns to see Ubisoft deliver his highest artistic performance ever in the Assassins’ brand, with astonishing settings and brand new enemies and characters. We didn’t need Bayek’s too-trustful missions again, but a 13-hour campaign, a more strategic combat system and a balanced difficulty complete a recipe any AC Origins’ fan should try.

Jane Jensen has done it again. Her brand new adventure has a great atmosphere, characters to remember and a classy graphic design. It may no be the new Gabriel Knight, but Gray Matter it's definetly worth your money.

The Sims 3 will make fans fall in love again, thanks to the many new contents added to the franchise. The optimized gameplay also is good news. All the others should know that the game is still the same, deeper, better in the gameplay and graphics and full of stuff to buy, but always The Sims. You love it or you hate it.

Top Spin 2K25 represents the return of a legendary series after more than ten years of painful absence. With a stellar gameplay and new features that enhance the variety of every match, this new chapter will meet the expectations of the fans.

This trilogy ends with a bang and represents an expansion textbook for one of the best games of the year. We are not fans of DLCs, but if the quality is this, they are welcome.

Stick it to the Man will drag you into its grotesque and insane atmosphere from the start, offering you a fresh style of gameplay, never frustrating. To this we must add the excellent use made of the DualShock 4 and its speaker.

FIFA 15 Ultimate Team is a product that fans of the genre will definitely appreciate. The app has everything you need to ensure hours and hours of fun: there are plenty of game modes and the famous market section.

The Elder Scrolls: Online - Elsweyr is another great, suggestive expansion of the main adventure, developed by Bethesda and ZeniMax.

Terraria is the same, good old game we all know and love, but the portability of the Nintendo Switch version could make it the definitive one.

Shadowrun didn't need a revolution to impress, considering the base game was simple but tactical and well calculated. With Hong Kong, though, the developers went the extra mile, finely creating a great storyline, and an inspired background. We expect more enhancement in the gameplay for future DLCs and expansions, but for now we're fully satisfied.
