Truly a masterpiece in terms of graphics and soundtrack, but loses itself when it comes to playing the game, especially the combat system too much limited. The story is quite interesting, it takes a lot of references from different religions, but the plot sometimes shows huge holes and characters without a background story.

Original gameplay and a good variety of situations and environments maintain high the interest on the basis of a long life suitable for the genre.

Despite a stiff combat system that sometimes feels imprecise, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden presents a compelling story about love, human misery and crucial social themes.

A pretty good title, with solid gameplay mechanics and a lot of gore. Unfortunately Nick is a really anonymous character and the game presents some frame rate drops with a myriad of technical issues. A good start for Xbox One but from this new console we expect much more.

Mount & Blade: Warband blends together a solid single player campaign with some roleplay elements and huge multiplayer battles. Nonetheless, it would be much better suited as an expansion pack of the original game instead of a stand alone title. Some problems with the map balance in the capture the flag mode and some repetitive dialogue and quests don't let it achieve excellence.

Hell is Us boldly carves out its own path, favoring a slower, more contemplative experience that rewards patience, curiosity, and a taste for the unconventional. It’s not trying to appeal to everyone—and that’s precisely the point. This is a game for those who find meaning in silence, in suggestion, in the space between things. It seeks to provoke rather than guide, to immerse rather than entertain. For some, it will resonate deeply; for others, it may feel distant or impenetrable.

With Grand Slam Tennis, the Wii has a new king in the genre. The game has everything that a fan can desire for: good graphics, game modes and longevity. The great multiplayer mode and motion plus support give the title even more appeal. Unfortunately some minor problems don't let the game reach the excellence.

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.

An act of love to rediscover one of the most glorious Japanese software houses, but time not always is completely merciful.

Dead Space 3 remains close to the series, despite the new co-op mode, the bench feature and the new global ammo system. If you loved the previous chapter you can’t miss the epic conclusion.

Pepper Grinder is a side-scrolling platformer with a good pace and solid platforming mechanics, but it's marred by some questionable action choices that prevent the title from shining as much as it should. This is particularly regrettable in the case of the boss battles, which, despite featuring beautiful designs, offer unsatisfying gameplay, as does the overall duration of the adventure.

R.U.S.E. is not a title suitable for casual players, and it requires a certain amount of commitment and a flexible and strategic mind. If you want a spectacular, frenetic and anchored to the old system RTS, we do not recommend you this title, but if you want something really new, strategic and tactically considered approach, R.U.S.E. is for you.

A nice 2D adventure title, where stylistic impact and excellent character design overcome the minor flaws.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is a great game if you haven't played Hyrule Warriors before. However, for those who have already played the original game or its 3DS counterpart, there may be too little to enjoy in this definitive version.

Quotation forthcoming.

Everything is optimally designed to give the best underwater experience in a game. The non-written narrative is the perfect way to create a story leaving the gamer the choice to have an intimate solution and understanding of the game. A must buy for genre lovers.

If you have not played Joe Dever's Lone Wolf on your smartphone or tablet yet, here is the right time to do it. This PC version includes all four chapters of the game with enhanced graphics and various bonuses, but is the game itself that is still beautiful and compelling as its mobile counterpart.

Whoever already owns a copy of a previous Tropico chapter won't find many reasons to buy this new chapter, gameplay is just the same and new features are too few to justify a full price.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a good prequel, very respectful of the source material. Chloe and Rachel are a great couple and the beginning of this new story is quite satisfying.

WWE 2K26 undoubtedly represents the most complete evolution of the formula built over the past few years. Without overturning the foundations of the series, Visual Concepts expands nearly every aspect of the experience: new match types, a more dynamic presentation system, improved physics, and a massive roster all contribute to creating one of the richest entries in the franchise’s history. The result is a game that captures the spectacular spirit of WWE wrestling better than ever before, and one that shows extremely promising signs for the years to come.

Quite a step in the right direction if you compare it to its predecessors. Greg Rucka’s arrival was definitely great for the whole series, and everything got better, from dialogue to game mechanics. Definitely a good introduction to the final act. If you want to get the whole package, though, keep in mind that chapters one and two are highly inferior.

This second act starts in a spectacular way, and confirms all the positive things we saw in the first episode, all mixed up in roughly 90 minutes of gameplay.

Despite the name change, EA Sports FC 24 comes with basically the same flaws of the last FIFA, but we really appreciated the slower pace for the gameplay and the increased variety now possible in Ultimate Team.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A refines the series’ formula with a leaner, more focused, and genuinely fun experience. Despite its dated visuals, Game Freak delivers one of the most enjoyable entries in years a “sequel to a spin-off” that carries the kind of soul we hope to see return in the mainline games.

The slow, idyllic exploration, paired by some good narrative make Everybody's gone to the Rapture something that should be played, but only by those with patience. It's a sluggish walk to the end, that pays off, but probably not enough for many players.

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.

An interesting plot full of twists and well played, colorful characters make this game one of the best chapters of the saga, and not one you want to miss.

A nice new map pack, a bit expensive but well made.

Just for nostalgic fans.

Teslagrad is a visually gorgeous game, with clever puzzles and an interesting new game plus mode, held back by problematic platforming and difficulty spikes.

Everybody's Golf is still the funniest and freshest golf game you remembered on the previous PlayStation systems. Now it has a new focus on online multiplayer, and it works very well.

Fun and unforgiving, Banana Mania is Super Monkey Ball at its finest.

Ghost Recon Shadow Wars is one of the few good game of the Nintendo 3DS launch line up. A strong strategic turn based game that will keep you playing for hours.

If you have friends to face since from the very beginning, this could be the tower defense you were looking for. In single player, unfortunately, it loses much of its appeal, while remaining a valid title.

Elden Ring Nightreign represents a bold attempt to evolve the Elden Ring universe through a cooperative and dynamic format. The streamlined progression and reduced exploratory freedom may not satisfy series purists, while the introduction of roguelike and battle royale elements does not fit perfectly with FromSoftware's design philosophy. Ultimately, Nightreign may attract a new audience, but for longtime fans of the series, the balance between innovation and faithfulness to the spirit of Elden Ring will prove to be less than optimal.

The game delivers an original stealth experience with a good narrative, despite some backtracking. If you are looking for a second person adventure, it may be worth a try.

The Prince returns in a brand new adventure. Good platforming sessions, new powers and a magical reign to save.

All things considered, aside from a few minor technical issues (unexpected but easily fixable) Starfield arrives on PS5 in good shape, with a more streamlined price, several improvements over its original release, and a notable amount of new content. Some of this is tied to the Rotte Libere update, while other additions are linked to the purchase of the two downloadable expansions, neither of which is essential for Bethesda’s spacefaring adventurers.

Nintendo Land is a great game to understand what the new Wii U GamePad is capable of. The 12 attractions are very different from each others and guaranteed a unique gameplay experience. Every mini-game is inspired by Nintendo most famous characters, such as Mario, Metroid and Zelda. Perfect if played in multiplayer or co-op, it's a must own game for Wii U users and for party game lovers.

MLB The Show 22 is a well crafted video game for baseball fans, but it is more of the same in more ways than it should.

It's hard to dislike a collection like this, with ten games (actually six, but it's a lot of content nonetheless) that still hold their own thanks to a solid and original battle system and a right difficulty level. The game are maybe too similar to one another, but they're still enjoyable, especially in portable mode on the Nintendo Switch.

A good multiplayer game that could have been amazing with some balancing tweaks. Still great fun when it works, and a must have for those who love large scale battles online.

It's Mario Kart made SEGA style. Funny and well designed, it delivers the fun you expect from it. Sadly the biggest flaw is frame rate, and that's a big mistake for a game based on speed. Also, a general lack of new ideas sets it in a medium range.

EA Sports MMA is a great title that every Mixed Martial Arts aficionado should have. The attention to detail is top notch, with fighters that behave mostly like their real counterparts in a fight and a well-crafted career mode. Despite frequent and long loading times and a somewhat unbalanced difficulty curve EA devs definitely know their stuff when making sports games, and this is further proof of their ability.

If you heart is beating with nostalgia, Capcom, Arcade 2nd Stadium does its best to bring you back down the memory lane.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is a big and better version of the first tactical RTS made by Tindalos Interactive.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is certainly perfect for passing the time and fans of the series will be happy to have 200 new levels, but 12 years after an unreleased chapter one would have expected a more lively revival in every aspect.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is still a great game eleven years after its original release. This porting, however, feels incredibly lazy due to the little difference in comparison to the original release. This, along with the questionable price tag, makes this remastered not so easy to recommend.

We're going to the final episode. In this fourth one there are no surprises, but a lot of attention on dialogues and characters.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 pleasantly surprised us. We're not dealing with the typical licensed title hastily put together as a mere task; on the contrary, we have a game that, while not completely breaking free from the shadows of the titles it draws inspiration from, still strives to leave its mark. It offers accessible yet deep gameplay and a selection of modes that are quite impressive, including a genuinely interesting campaign mode. There are still some rough edges to smooth out, and – undoubtedly – more could have been done in terms of the roster. However, the foundation is here for what could evolve into a respectable series for fans of Nickelodeon shows and beyond.

If you are looking for a sci-fi 4X where to spend the coming years of your gaming life, you just found it.

Shank 2 is a good sequel, but unfortunately it doesn't heal the wounds of its predecessor. The combat system has improved, with much more comfortable controls and a great variety of choice in the attacks. Unfortunately, once again, longevity is the weak point of the title and even counting every mode available it will fail to keep you busy for more than a few afternoons. Fortunately Shank is a great character: exaggerated and brutal, a combination that makes it really fun to play.

It’s beautiful to look at, and the idea it’s based on is pretty interesting. Unfortunately the magnificent game world and the interesting beast taming mechanics are not enough to cushion the repetitiveness of the main campaign. An uninspired storyline is the last nail in the coffin, for a game that, while still having solid mechanics, is just not as fun as its predecessors.

Amnesia: The Bunker introduces a brilliant gameplay with many new features for the series. It is a real survival horror with a great atmosphere and a superb concept. Too bad for the random encounters with the creature, often not well balanced.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a delightful return for the beloved series, with deep gameplay and vibrant worlds that make it a must-have on Nintendo Switch, despite a few minor design shortcomings.

Besides the extensive and well orchestrated gameplay, the title retains a high longevity, thanks to the new dynamism of the plot and editor joined to the multiplayer do the rest. It remains a regret for the haste in closing the development, which does not do justice to a game that deserved a better final processing. If you think you can overlook the frustration that will result from the large amount of bugs and you love the genre, Arma II is what you want from a simulation of war: exterminated, deep and dramatic. As for the rest of the users, Bohemia Interactive has made a very specific choice not to simplify the formula for casual gamers and risking to frustrate for everyone. We believe the target was hit, ArmA II is a game for a few, but those few will be more than satisfied.

Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider reminds of great classic games like Shinobi and Strider, demonstrating how the genre is still alive and kicking.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for PlayStation 4 is the same game that was released in 2011, nothing more. If you love the franchise, this episode is bigger and better than ever in everything. Otherwise, it's bigger and better.

The last episode of Life is Strange: Before the Storm is awesome. It resonates in the characters of Chloe and Rachel, building a story on few very strong topics.

The quality of its level design, the two-player coop and a wealth of stages, including the 3DS ones, are enough to recommend a purchase, but Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is sort of lazy if compared to other remastered versions of Nintendo old classics. If you have already played it before elsewhere, there is really no reason for a second playthrough.

Quotation forthcoming.

Nothing new, but what's here it's top notch, from the Active Time Battle System to the gloomy story of Cecil. Don't miss it if you're a JRPG fanatic.

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.

Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss is a walking simulator with a compelling story, but it feels and looks like a game from at least ten years ago.

Download Alien Swarm. Do it, it's an order. It's one of the best freeware games of all times. It's fun, addictive and has great growth possibilities considering how actively the Steam community is already working on it. Thanks for the gift Valve, we love it.

In many ways Shadows of the Damned doesn't seem polished and well-refined, but Grasshopper's game is still a lot of fun, gore and charisma.

While it may be true that at the same price any Switch owner can buy bigger and more recent first party games, such as Super Mario Bros Wonder, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a love letter to the 3DS days and a very enjoyable ride from start to finish even today, for both experienced and green players. It comes especially recommended if you liked the third episode.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is a great return for the MMO made by ZeniMax and Bethesda Softworks. A standalone add-on for a brand new adventure, in the legendary island of Vvanderfell.

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.

We have tons of roguelites on the market right now, but Ship of Fools manages to feel unique in its own way.

Not your typical musou, and for the love of all that's good and beautiful in the world, this is truly a great thing. It still has repetitive base fighting mechanics and weak rpg element, but it's mix of genres and added ideas make it a fun action game for fans of the series and new players alike. Now we'd just like to see this kind of evolutionary push for the rest of the musou swamp.

Humankind is layered and a breath of fresh air for 4X lovers, but the annoying UI is the real enemy here.

Inazuma Eleven Go Chrono Stones will entertain all the fans of the series and of Japanese role playing games, even if it will do so thanks to a tried and true formula that keeps repeating itself since some time now.

It's a failry good DLC, yet here and there you can see it's been packed up to quickly, lacking the polish of the main campaign.

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

Like the single games when they were first released, the Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection is not a product for the masses: it's pricey (too much so), hard and very lengthy, but these are exactly the reasons why some old timer fan will appreciate it.

Singularity is an entertaining FPS, full of variety till the end credits. It lacks some personality and solid graphics, but if you like the genre, this game won't let you down.

It's old style strategy, unforgiving, hard to learn and harder to master. If this is your kind of stuff, you'll love it.

Indivisible has lot of style and an engaging gameplay, with high paced combat system (sometimes too much) and interesting platforming. Difficulty curve is with some bosses too steep.

Shattered Heaven captivates the players thanks to its hybrid gameplay. It's a card game with roguelike and rpg elements that are enough to feel interesting, but it gets repetitive way too soon during longest playing sessions.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a very difficult experience to judge using traditional standards. It is not a simulator in the classic sense, nor a structured management game: it is rather a laboratory of absurd situations, built around the player’s creativity. When it works (and it often does), it manages to deliver genuine laughs thanks to intelligent writing and a brilliant use of nonsense.

A couple of nice touches to the drawn elements of the two games, a few extra costumes, and the opportunity to select the voices in Japanese are not enough to make us cheer for the return of these two titles. At the same time, Tales of Symphonia is still one of the best JRPGs ever made.

Master Detective Rain Code is not as complete and original like the Danganronpa trilogy, but it is, nonetheless, an enjoyable and well written point and click adventure that will appeal to all of the existing fans of Kazutaka Kodaka.

Even though this is the best version of Corpse Party available on the market right now, we can't stop thinking that the port is somewhat lazy, since neither the 3D effect nor the touch screen are utilized as much as 3DS fans were hoping. But if you love Japanese horror games, you won't find better options than Corpse Party on 3DS.

SpellForce 3: Fallen God is an old style expansion, with lot of hours of gameplay equally divided between RPG and RTS, but if you don't like the mixture of genres, this DLC will not change your mind.

Dark as hell, Ancestors Legacy is a good RTS.

It's more intense, and way more linear, with less strategy involved. If you love Hollywood-style racing action, and consider spending some time with the great online mode, this might be your deal. On the other hand, if you're just interested in the single player campaign, it might not be worth all the while.

The Mooseman is more then a simple game, under some simple puzzle is hidden the history of a people, the myths and the legends of the ancient Komi.

Pacific Drive is an intriguing experience and, despite being way more complicated than it should in some of its choices, it's a compelling game that feels like a breath of fresh air for video games' lovers.

Sonic Generations is simply the best Sonic title on HD consoles.

Out of its comfort zone, Runeterra's world shines in this well-crafted and smart RPG, that feels just like a first step in a journey that is going to bring League of Legends up to new shores.

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.

Even with all its still perfectible aspects, Solasta is wisely crafted when it comes to fights and character building.

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.

There is too much indecision in Chiba: he wants to create a game for young people, but he proposes mechanics of the past, for the nostalgic people. World of Final Fantasy, however, is built well, with an immense work in the creation of Mirage: the battle system works well and entertains for almost a hundred hours. An Immensity.

Besides the astonishing art design and the rich and imaginative dark-fantasy world, Blasphemous doesn't know how to mix perfectly the different genres it belongs to.

Daytona USA is a must for all fans of the arcade version, as it perfectly recreates the atmosphere and the desire to beat the records that marked the original as a masterpiece.

Azure Striker Gunvolt is a delicious appetizer while waiting for the main dish, represented by Mighty No. 9, but the taste would have been much better if the enemy design wasn't so weak and if more levels were included.
