Conarium is an homage to Lovecraft and his "At the Mountains of Madness". Despite the scarce interaction, the walking simulator structure and the length (3 hours, more or less), it deserves a try.

God Wars Future Past is a deep, compelling and difficult SRPG in the veins of the great classics of the genre (Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics in primis), with little to no new features and an average presentation. Should be more than enough to satisfy hardcore SRPG fans.

Under Pressure chooses the way of introspection and shows some Guardians' soul to the player, but the main storyline is practically frozen and there are way too many QTEs to deal with.

Oceanhorn is a game that works well on Switch, mainly because of its similarities to Zelda, but it's really gameplay limited and lasts only 10 hours.

The first episode is a good start for Minecraft: Story Mode: Season two, but we need some innovations for this gameplay.

Quotation forthcoming.

With its thirty scenarios (twenty in the main story and ten films inspired by the cinema to be unlocked), the Serial Cleaner demonstrates how iFun4All knows how to build gaming experiences with solid gameplay as a foundation. Additionally, the outline of the '70s is to create an interesting contextualization from the historical point of view, but above all as far as the stylistic one is concerned. Maybe they could have enriched everything with a bigger stage, with a checkpoint, or a little less chaotic gameplay, which at present can not be ruled perfectly by imprecise controls.

You get what you give with Kirby's Blowout Blast: a little sum of money for a little game, fun in short bursts but repetitive if played for long time, far too easy and with less than a couple of hours of gameplay.

Not as beautiful as we expected to see, but Final Fantasy XII is still a pearl of jRPG, even in 2017.

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.

The Golf Club 2 it is not a bad game, but it feels like it is developed for playing one single match at a time, rather than a long-term experience. The gameplay is still quite satisfying, whilst the new single player and multiplayer modes didn't go entirely in the right direction.

More than ever, it's time to join the Final Fantasy XIV community. You will not regret it.

Dead by Daylight: Special Edition is the same game we've played on PC a year ago, albeit with a lot of new content. Its gameplay remains fresh and fun, however the lack in variety might jeopardize the lasting appeal of the game, which is also threatened by a weak matchmaking.

That's You! is a wonderful party game, for literally everyone is able at least to take a selfie. Smart, funny, and witty, That's You! is the kind of couch multiplayer experience that PlayStation 4 needed.

Crash trilogy is a pleasure for our eyes and our nostalgia: the Sony mascot has returned in the best way with the same gameplay as we experienced twenty years ago and the same success.

Refunct is almost a mystical experience that begins with a bit of curiosity and finishes half an hour later with the adrenaline flowing in the veins, constantly throwing the eye to the next point of handhold and reflecting in milliseconds on how to reach it. It never becomes a tough or frustrating game, but instead it tries to be refreshing and relaxing, especially if you come from a hard working day. Given that the cost is around € 3 it could easily become a way to get back on track after a bad day.

Hunting Simulator is a humble game for one kind of gamer, and one only: the hunting enthusiast. For everyone else, this accurate simulation could be an awful experience.

Valkyria Revolution is an experiment, more similar to a musou than to all of its predecessors, and this won't resonate with the majority of the fans of the franchise. But, taken for what it is, it's still a decent action game with light RPG and strategic elements.

If you want to race the Tour de France on your PS4 this game is your only option. Still, the game feels repetitive after a bit, whilst the gameplay offers mixed sensations.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew brings a great VR experience, along with a fun multiplayer mode. However, its lack of variety and content and its tedious single player mode prevent us from recommending the game to everyone. Hardcore Star Trek fans may consider it an immediate purchase, while others should better wait for a price cut.

More action than RPG, Victor Vran arrives on consoles with a rich Overkill Edition, containing both DLCs and the known humour: if this will be enough or not depends solely on if you already had a chance to play it on PC. Otherwise, we're talking about a solid alternative to Dablo III and the likes.

Ever Oasis is a little dreaming adventure, perfectly suited for players of all ages and experience. Its being so user-friendly and easy to approach, unfortunately, comes at the expense of depth with respect to every in-game system.

MotoGP 17 is the last chapter of the historical motorbike simulation series created by Milestone. This year title is full of official contents and enriched by a nice Manager Modality, offering to the fans lots of hours of fun. With a solid gameplay and old-gen graphics (that is becoming every year more annoying), it’s a game suggested only to great fans of motor sports, especially with strong sales. For the others, better to wait for the switch of graphic engine, that is finally next to come.

Blitzkrieg 3 cannot penetrate the hearts of RTS enthusiasts.

A dramatic story told in a very fascinating way. The shooting gameplay is quite a disappointment, but the high level of the audio and the enthralling plot put Get Even on solid footing.

Nex Machina is a fast paced cyberpunk twin stick shooter, a pure experience from the past, but unfortunately it doesn't last long.

Dirt 4 is the conjunction between arcade gamers and simulation lovers. It has a beautifully programmed learning phase and Your Stage can really evolve the way to live Rally in games, even if we were expecting e far more intense upgrade from the previous game.

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.

A good season finale with lots of emotional scenes and different endings. Still, the epilogue makes you wonder if this was an interim season, and what is the real role of Clementine, for a narrative that's not so clear.

Steel Division: Normandy ‘44 is a deep and complex wargame, enriched with many details and set in some of the most beautiful maps ever seen in an RTS.

ARMS is the first new Nintendo IP on Switch, an unusual fighting-game that's both competitive and entertaining. The character design is beautiful and the game mechanics are well-balanced, even if some abilities are easier to use than others. The only problem is the single-player offering, which is not as interesting as the multiplayer one.

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

Maybe this won't be enough for players that have already played Pure, Pulse and 2048, but all the rest of the racing game lovers out there should consider buying it.

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.

Starpoint Gemini Warlords has a lot of stuff and contents and can give hours and hours of gameplay, but not all the hours are unforgettable.

Perception starts with good ideas, but fails to build a really original game around them. The atmosphere is good during the initial minutes, but it feels like a guided walking simulator without real scares.

Bokida isn't a title for everyone, but for those who can appreciate the exploration of a new and beautiful world it can be a nice and relaxing experience.

Parent life is a very good game pack. The Sims 4 brought us a nice experience in terms of Sim development and everyday family life, also adding a good amount of objects and new clothing options. It is certainly a must buy for those who are very into playing the same family generation after generation.

If you didn't get a chance to play it on PC last year, Shadow Warrior 2 on consoles is still worth your time, but this version is not on par with the PC one, with halved framerate, no HDR and no new content.

Tekken 7 is a fighting game with a great gameplay, but with little content in the single player mode. The story, however, is pleasing and full of content, unlike what happened in the previous chapters. Tekken 7 is the most balanced and immediate Tekken ever.

Quotation forthcoming.

The world of Illusoria is full of craziness, creepy monsters and a lot of nice things that just want to rip your head off. The gameplay is pretty simple but the controls are stiff and the level design is way too repetitive.

If you are fans of the musou genre you will probably enjoy this title, but if you already dislike them it won't change your mind.

Endless Space 2 is an amplified journey across the galaxy, it doesn't reinvent the 4x strategy style, but everything it does, it does well.

Quotation forthcoming.

A game that can be appreciated by the fans of the tactical RPG genre, even if there are a bit too many bugs and crashes.

Surviving for thirty days in the cold with a survival team is not as simple as it sounds in Impact Winter.

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.

Akiba's Beat is a generic, me-too JRPG that takes inspiration from both the Persona and the Tales of series, without adding any new ideas, failing to recapture the feeling and gameplay of both of them. Still, it can be a solid choice for the uninitiated to the genre.

Portal Knights is a "Minecraft Like" that goes far beyond mere clone and adds many personal elements: a colorful and playful graphics, an immediate combat system and a complex crafting system, in some ways even too much complex. Being able to understand what you need and navigate through menus unfortunately limited in part a game that could have said much more, especially thanks to the excellent cooperative game management.

Fire Emblem Echoes doesn't make a strong first impression, but keeps entangling the player fight after fight, for each hard-earned victory. It also brings to the table many ideas from the original title, and a slew of fresh air in a series that has seen four games in the last four years.

A good Souls-like with an entertaining battle system, interesting crafting elements, but no original soul.

Injustice 2 is a massive fighting game. A lot of content in single player and interesting RPG elements to personalize the characters, support an interesting and well orchestrated storyline.

Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom combines the classic JRPG adventure format with fighting mechanics. Well knowing this is from a small french indie team, Enigami, we can see all the passion and the work behind the game, but we can also see all the limits due to the smallness of the project itself. All these problems afflict the gameplay, on the technical side, and mostly the combat system, the one who should made this videogame really shine. In the end, we can see a great potential from Enigami team, but we can't deny that Shiness is a good game with many problems.

Knights of Valour manages to entertain for free, even if it's influenced by the typical free-to-play mechanics.

Not a perfect point-and-click adventure, Chronicle of Innsmouth is a strange creature that mix the typical humor of LucasArts with the dark and rotten atmosphere of H.P. Lovecraft.

You can smash, grab, pull, push and doing some other stuff. Things don't come easy, though: Human: Fall Flat is a challenging game with a difficult system control, something in between Goat Simulator, The Talos Principle and Surgeon Simulator. A game that can be fun and frustrating at the same time.

LocoRoco Remastered was a masterpiece in the platform genre, and it is again today. The gameplay and the level design didn't aged at all, and now LocoRoco is even more good looking on TV in the glory of 4K resolution (for PS4 Pro users).

BUTCHER doesn't innovate the videogame market, but it's fun and should be enjoyed by gamers who are searching for a nice challenge.

Holobunnies: Pause Cafe is a little minigames collection that delivers a funny, but very short, trial and error platform experience.

Renowned Explorers: International Society was a fun and challenging experience, but with few contents. The Emperor’s Challenge adds what the players want, but maybe it is not enough to start a new expedition.

Maybe one of the most complex and deep RTS: learn every single move is a real satisfaction in Tank Warfare: Tunisia 1943, but how many can deal with it?

Prey is an amazing sci-fi game, driven by great gameplay and a wonderful story.

Cities: Skylines on Xbox One console is the same great, complex, and unique city builder, available on PC from 2015. For all console gamers, this game is the perfect city building simulation.

Dreamfall Chapter is a complete collection ported on Ps4 and Xbox One of the episodic adventures published on Pc starting from 2014, set in the marvelous world of the Longest Journey saga. The nice adventure game is supported by amazing storytelling and top notch art direction, but unfortunately is technically mediocre, and this fact is made more evident due to a not so great console porting. If you loved April Ryan and Zoë Castillo journeys, you need, no, you actually MUST play this game, but if it’s your first travel in the reigns of Stark and Arcadia, well… this is not the right chapter to start from.

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.

If you ever had even a slight interest in storytelling in any form, then What remains of Edith Finch is a little indie masterpiece that you shouldn't miss.

Statik is a puzzle game perfectly suited for those who are looking for a challenging experience: you will that every puzzle, despite its difficulty, has a logical solution. However, due to its nature, its difficult to recommend Statik to those who don't want to spend their time thinking times and times over about the same puzzle.

Expeditions: Viking is a great mix of strategy and RPG elements, a must-have for all fans of Expedition: Conquistador, but some imperfections are still present.

Rogue Stormers, despite its limitations and its defects, has managed to amuse and entertain us. It is not a perfect game, but it represents a great challenge for all those who appreciate this particular genre and very challenging videogames.

The fourth chapter looks like a regular episode from the AMC series: a few zombies, a lot of dialogues, characters who act stupidly. Still, the ending is well-structured, and delivers some good moments and decisions. Not as good as the second episode, way better than the third.
