    A game that shows a clear artistic design and a continuity with the first two games of the series, mostly with respect to the puzzles rather than the narrative aspect. Still, there are many flaws: the gameplay is rather clunky, the control system is far from precise, and the game design shows several bad choices. If you loved the series, you may think to buy Syberia 3. Be aware, though: the game is not well-polished.

    Puyo Puyo Tetris on the Nintendo Switch is an absolute must-buy for all the gamers who like puzzle games and/or great titles to play in local multiplayer. It is fast, colourful, fun and has a ton of different game modes, and it really fits perfectly on Nintendo's new hardware.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a good experiment by CI Games, to set his famous brand in an open-world structure. Gameplay and the managing of the items are good, but the AI makes the experience less than it could be. Instead, the map is pretty good and the variety of the quests too, mixed with some problems about texture that put the graphical level in a medium category. Suggested for those who love snipes games and the brand.

    It's somehow difficult to recommend The Silver Case to a younger audience not accustomed with an "old" game: the interface and controls are quite clunky, and the graphics are stylish but not good. However, fans of the visual novel genre will find a lot to love here.

    The Disney Afternoon Collection is an act of faith, but also a dip in the nostalgia of the '80s and' 90s.

    Snake Pass lets you play as snake in a colored but uncompromising 3D world where you need to slither, climb and be curious. Despite its childish and lovely graphics, the game feels demanding and the camera system will make you mad, so buy it only if you are patient.

    A rose in the twilight is a delicious niche puzzle platformer, with a just right difficulty curve, a heartbreaking story and a bleak and fascinating visual style.

    Starblood Arena is surprisingly good. It manages to solve motion sickness problems with some clever game design and it offers at the same time a nice and engaging overall experience.

    Just interesting in single player but exhilarating and crazy in multiplayer, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime surely is worth the download.

    The Elder Scrolls Legends take what's good from the other card games and adds some interesting gameplay mechanics, such as the dual-lane field, and the strong definition of the dynamics of a deck.

    Vikings Wolves of Midgard is a passable Diablo clone, full of fresh ideas for the genre, none of which really fits into the gameplay, let down by repetition and peculiar game design choices.

    Although Zero Time Dilemma is nowhere to be found and there's no extras whatsoever, Zero Escape The Nonary Games is a great package containing two brilliant visual novels.

    An adventure game with a style that is clearly recognizable, traditional and innovative at the same time. It's also nostalgic and ironic, tender and sarcastic. A gameplay crafted by masters, in which even the casual mode shines, proudly closed in its 1987 mood, and yet so modern and with many more things to say than many other point and click games. It is not the nostalgia that talks: it is the voice of a hand-crafted videogame.

    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.

    We enjoyed our time with Kona Day One, even if the survival and combat elements often give the idea of being thrown into the mix without too much thought.

    Ys Origin is a good throwback to a time when action RPG were much simpler than they are today, but also a reminder that simple gameplay can be enjoyable and fun even ten or more hours later.

    Let's face the elephant in the room: Planescape Torment this is not. Still, we're talking about a very deep and rewarding CRPG that borrows some mechanics and game design choices from its famous ancestor and tries to walk a different path, making the player read and dialogue instead of mindlessly fighting. A good pick for old time D&D players, but the crown is still held by Pillars of Eternity.
