Plug Me is funny, entertaining and had good gameplay mechanics. with only 3 euros you can buy a solid indie game.

We could talk about interactive book, but it won't be enough, we could talk about graphic novel, but it won't be enough. Is a particular narrative project, inheritance of the great story of Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth.

God of War is one of the best action game of this generation. Everything is at the right place, the combat-system is extremely engaging and the story is super. A game that brings new life to a series that obviously had something more to tell.

Extinction is solely based on a good idea, but fails to entertain due to the game structure and the algorithms for procedural content generation. The story is poorly narrated and feels out of focus during the missions.

Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten DX is a peculiar mix of tower-defense and RPG. Thanks to an intriguing story and a complex and satisfying gameplay, the game will appeal to all those who love strategy games, even with its lack of diversity in enemies.

The console version of Impact Winter is, on the whole, a more polished game than it was at the debut on PC, but its good ideas are still marred by a troublesome framerate and a good amount of small bugs and inconsistencies.

Aegis Defenders is a metrodivania/tower defense crossover that can be both fun and smart when played in co-op, but that could drive you mad if you try to play on your own.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Raven Remastered is still a game with a good story, but outdated visuals, clunky animations and sometimes boring dialogues prevent it from reaching an higher score.

Empires Apart is a solid old-school RTS with some innovations, with a focus on the multiplayer side.

Basically Penny Punching Princess is yet another low budget production by Nippon Ichi who tries to throw into the fray some new gameplay, without having to take too much work from the technical point of view. The combat system can also be innovative and interesting to deepen, but in the long run can not entertain the player who is forced to move for dungeons always the same, which must be repeated several times each to improve the statistics of the princess and mitigate a particularly high level of difficulty.

A strong baseball title, with an almost perfect gameplay, brilliant graphics and lots of contents; still, some game modes can feel a bit unsatisfying at times.

Detective Pikachu moves far away from the main series, boasting a strong narrative and a charismatic protagonist that bears little to none resemblance to the Pikachu we're familiar with. In spite of its faults, this first experiment managed to entertain us, and we can't wait to get some new adventures with this coffee-lover detective.

PUBG Mobile is awesome, but your smartphone battery will suffer like hell.

Attack on Titan 2 is a great game, it doesn't suffer from the lesser power of Nintendo Switch and takes advantages from its hybrid nature.

Same Stitch is an amazing epilogue for an interesting and well-crafted season. It feels rushed sometimes and almost forgets about some characters that we learned to love (and hate) in the previous episodes, but the way your conflict with the main villain—and yourself—evolves is really thrilling and efficient.

Like the previous chapter, we don't think that The Witch and The Hundred Knight 2 is a bad title, but it isn't an excellent one either, remaining sufficient. If you liked the previous game, you can easily enjoy the sequel, otherwise this won't make you change your mind.

Far Cry 5 brings the player to a Montana Valley controlled by a religious fanatic group. The gameplay is solid and it is related to the past of the series. The game lasts 25 hours, guided by a non-linear storyline, and the arcade mode is a solid way to increase the value of the game.

Sea of Thieves is a continuous experiment, a strange role-playing game through which you must decide what kind of pirate you will be.

Gekido on Nintendo Switch is the same, good, beat 'em up played on GBA in 2002, with better graphics, sound and multiplayer mode. Great job Naps Team, once again.

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.

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

Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is a strange paradox. It's a "link" chapter, that concludes the concepts born on previous gen consoles, but on the other hand it actually says something new about the series and its background. There are plenty of recycled ideas, but here they reach the better compromise between engagement, free-roaming, plot and optional tasks. The remaster also does not feature specific changes except from the stabilized frame-rate, so if you are not collectors you will not be so incentivized to rebuy it. If you have discovered the series from Black Flag and Unity, consider giving it a shot.

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.

A simple and funny killtime... for a match or two.

Ni No Kuni 2 is an astonishing adventure, one of the most beautiful and fun action jRPGs released in the last several years.

Northgard is a good and different RTS that brings back the memory to The Settlers series. It has few mechanics, but all works well.

The Way of Life is a fascinating parade of characters and sequences, delivering an interesting insight on three different periods of life. Too bad the game is a bit weak on the narrative side, while the gameplay shows some flaws.

Burnout Paradise Remastered brings 4K standard on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, and 60 FPS rock solid. Stellar Entertainment reaches the result without effort.

Titan Quest was better remembered as a decent hack'n'slash on PC than a mediocre Diablo clone on consoles: this version is clearly rushed out and it doesn't do any justice to a title that's been fun and engaging for the last twelve years.

The Council: The Mad Ones is a good start. Adding RPG elements in a classic adventure game is a very good idea, but there's something wrong in the reactions. Also, the graphics are outdated.

This is a well-thought sequel that builds over the foundations laid with the first chapter and deepens the RPG aspects, while getting rid of some rough edges here and there. If you love Isayama-san's work, don't miss out on this one.

Surviving Mars does not speak to the casual gamer, but it's also a good city-builder. Its creators Haemimont Games deeply love science-fiction, and they demonstrated it by giving their game a variety of scenarios together with its citybuilder nature. It deserves time to be appreciated, but seeing your colony become operative is always a satisfaction. Veterans could find a relatively new way to see science-fiction on their genre. Due to rigid gamepad controls, newcomers may consider the PC.

The story, content and gameplay are unquestionably of a good standard, but it was not what we wanted from the final game of Kiryu Kazuma, who we were so fond of during these 12 years. In our opinion it was reasonable to expect something more, especially in the combat system that instead of going forward took a step back, especially if compared with Yakuza 0, which on that front (but not only that) was the pinnacle of the series. The purchase is still recommended in an essential way, especially if you are a historical fan, in the meanwhile we'll waiting to find out what'll be the future of the brand without Dragon of Dojima.

Kirby Star Allies is another good game of a long lasting series. The game is fresh and gives lot of fun, and the gameplay, even if it's simple, is rock-solid.

Distortions is a story-driven musical adventure that tells a story of loss, depression and frailty. Despite the good intentions of developers, the players have to face many technical flaws.

The Sims Mobile is the perfect "Sim" experience on smart devices.

Eventually, the good ideas offered are not enough to promote this racing game. However they are enough to let us say that TT Isle of Man: Ride On The Edge is not a bad game, not at all. It is rather a wasted opportunity, for the value and the resonance of the license to which it's bounded as well as for the strong, and felt, need to have a valid and complete motorcycle racing game in the videogame panorama.

Devil May Cry HD Collection is a lazy work by the developers: compared to the previous HD remastered it doesn't add anything and it exemplifies the old age of the saga.

Pure Farming 2018 is proposed on the market with a first chapter that tries to break the waters in a situation that could start to become stagnant. If on one hand try to propose new crops and environments different from the main competitor, on the other hand forget the online mode and does not integrate all the innovations developed in recent years by Giants guys. We can only hope that the next year will lead to more lush crops.

An interesting hybrid between a shooter and a party game, 5 Minutes Rage might be fun to play with friends for a short time. The gameplay and the level design, though, show some flaws.

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.

Frantics it's a funny party game for a little while, but the fun won't last so long.

Into the breach is a shiny little gem of an indie game, with an almost perfect gameplay, a huge level of customisation and an endless replayability. In just a few days it has become one of the most addictive gaming drugs ever.

Steredenn is the surprising perfect type of game for the Nintendo Switch. Amazing shmup with very fast runs. Recommended.

Farewell is a very nostalgic and heart-warming episode of Life is Strange, maybe its "true ending".

The 25th Ward: The Silver Case is a remaster of the old visual novel developed by Grasshopper Manufacture. Unfortunately, just because something is "remastered" doesn't mean it's better.

Bravo Team is a good game that manages to recreate the feeling of collaborative shooters from the old days.

Insidia is a pleasant surprise and ideal for every player that wants a challenge, that can manage to stand on its own with constant updates and with the support of the community.

Joe Dever's Lone Wolf is a good experience for fans of the gamebook series, but its repetitive gameplay holds it far away from greatness.

Star Drift is a simple racing game where everything is about drifting. It's fun to play but it's been published too soon.

Payday 2 on Nintendo Switch will not revolutionize the genre, but it's a very good porting, except for some technical issues and no voice chat at launch. An enjoyable cooperative FPS, so far.

Crossing Souls is a love letter to the '80s. It's an excellent, albeit clunky, nostalgia rollercoaster.

Gravel is a solid title, with an old school gameplay, but few game modes. There's a good variety of cars and locations, with a strong connection to the past and the present of the off road story. There are, however, some technical problems.

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

Metal Gear Survive is a good survival and crafting game, but it's fun to play only in the initial hours. Konami has taken a chance with its idea, but fails due to plenty of monotone moments.

Apex Construct is sadly a missed opportunity: an intriguing plot is shadowed by far too many technical problems.

Pop-Up Pilgrims is a puzzle-platform that manages to be entertaining while showing numerous flaws, such as the scarce variety of situations the game has to offer. That, along with a questionable use of the PS VR, prevents us from fully recommending the game.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is an atypical - but funny - RPG with a lot of TPS features, made by Dimps (also known as Dragon Ball Xenoverse developers).

This new version of Secret of Mana doesn't add anything important to this timeless classic, presenting the same strengths and weaknesses of 25 years ago. It can still be fun with a couple fo friends on the same couch, but we won't recommend it over the Snes Classic Mini version of the original.

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is a perfect game for everyone that manages to bring back the classic and solid gameplay of this historical franchise albeit with some new and fresh additions that make the game feel completely different from the past.

Leaving Possum Sprigns is one of the hardest things we've done in the last years of gaming: Mae Borowski and her fellow young adults have left a memorable stain in our hearts, and we're already looking forward to go visit them again. Don't miss one of the best narrative experiences ever.

We had some great expectations for this title, but sadly Legrand Legacy wasn't quite able to live up to them. We strongly suggest to download the free demo on Steam before buying this title, to see for yourself what you're going into.

Tekken Mobile is a good experiment for the saga, but it still could have been much more. Tekken has an important brand and respectable graphics, but those may not be enough in the long run.

Innerspace is certainly not a game for everyone: the lack of a map or anything of the sort makes it easy to get lost in the game, not knowing where to go or what to do. Some people might find that fascinating, while the majority of players will probably utterly despise it. However, for those who dare, Innerspace has one of the most beautiful worlds we've ever seen to explore.

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is the return of the iconic brand, but the times change and the RTS went ahead.

We cannot recommend Perfect Chronology enough, to both newcomers, who will find an enjoyable and brilliant role playing game, and old fans of the franchise, who will find enough unreleased content to justify a second purchase. let's hope to see a sequel in a not too far away future.

Fe is a cute platformer that you won't remember.

WARTILE is a fascinating mix between an RTS and a board game. Unfortunately, it is as beautiful as it is short.

A fun turn-based game, with a catchy narrative and some good ideas. Too bad for the lack of longevity and a low replayability. It won't be a smash hit, but if you are into this type of games you should give it a try.

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.

Monster Energy Supercross is a good title that can grant to all the supercross fans hours of fun. There are some technical problems, and the career isn't brilliant, but the gameplay is truly solid.

Bayonetta 2 on Switch looks smoother and more solid. It is undoubtedly one of the best action games ever made, and it's a joy to play while we wait for the next chapter.

The first Bayonetta is one of the best stylish action game ever. Similar to the Wii U version, this new edition is smoother than the previous one. It is the last chance to play with the sexy witch witch before the arrival of next chapter.

Dynasty Warriors 9 is far from perfection. It has technical issues, its gameplay needs time to be appreciated and seems a bit lazy when he must do something different from action. But it's also powerful and passionate, strictly following Guanzhong's original Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Perhaps the limited open-world system will seem a missed opportunity, but the advice we can give is to give it a chance, and to do it without any preconception.

The Switch version of Owlboy is as good as the PC one, which means that we're in presence of a quasi-masterpiece: the ingredients are a touching story, a varied and funny gameplay and an outstanding presentation. If only it were a little shorter... it didn't have to reuse puzzles and ideas.

Yoshi's Island this is not, but it's a honest and cute (albeit very short) platform, with a handful of good ideas but a strange difficulty curve. If only it didn't play that safe, it could have been a first choice for Switch owners.

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.

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

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.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is a wasted opportunity. Battles are repetitive and the roster is unbalanced. Also, the graphics reminds one of a PS3 game.

Candleman is a nice puzzle platformer, with a great atmosphere and some fascinating game mechanics.

EA Sports UFC 3 is the greatest MMA fighting game of this generation, an awesome simulator that brings action in a way we've never seen before.

Dragon Quest Builders on Switch is a nice porting, with the same problems as the original title. Less good to see and technically less perfect, it manages to fill these gaps thanks to the portability of Switch, which increases the fun and immediacy.

If you're a fan of the Final Fantasy saga, Opera Omnia is a title that in its simplicity will be able to accompany your days quite well; for all the other players it's still a good free app to try out.

Dandara is an inspired metroidvania with no gravity gameplay that maybe can confuse someone, but it's definitively a brilliant one.

The Longest 5 Minutes suffers from a lack of originality and from a lack of a sense of progression due to questionable choices made by the developers. For these reasons, the game is hardly recommendable even for die-hard fans of the genre.

Iconoclasts is a different type of metroidvania, favouring environmental puzzles, exploration and story over combat and variety, wrapping everything up in a gorgeous 16 bit pixel art: we cannot avoid recommending it if you're in for an ingenious ride.

Ayo: A Rain Tale shares a great message with its audience, but fails to entertain players due to some gameplay issues and bad design choices.

The Resistance is a complete DLC that continues the good work done with WWII: the maps are satisfying and the new operation works well.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is an arena-brawler with a beautiful roster, confused gameplay, and lacks of a 1vs1 mode. Well-balanced, linked to eSports, has some elements that could be adapted to the casual player or the Final Fantasy fan, to make itself more complete.

Genital Jousting is an awkward party game. And we love it.

Bluepoint remake of the astonishing Shadow of the Colossus in more than a simple graphic upgrade. It's the real embodiment of Ueda's vision, the best version of one of the most important and beautiful games of the medium. It is a must-have for new and old players.

Lineage II: Revolution is a good adaption of the MMO genre on smartphone and tablets, with a more than sufficient end result.

The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is a contemplative metroidvania with good boss fights. It is a captivating adventure that mixes action and exploration through evocative scenarios that tells the story of our future extinction.

Rise of the Tomb Kings is one of the best DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER II.

Quotation forthcoming.

Monster Hunter World is an incredible game, the new consoles have simplified many old gameplay mechanics and the gameplay has an enviable variety and depth. Too bad about the lack of true innovative mechanics and the technical aspect.
