Heave Ho is a nice combination of two genres, platform and party games, which will bring hours of fun if you're going to play it with friends.

Ratchet & Clank Nexus is a good return to the roots of the series, but the lack of new features and the briefness of the campaign are simply unforgivable.

A fun, spectacular-at-times cinematic arcade racing game. Unfortunately many gameplay and technical problems spoil some of the fun, most of all the lame checkpoint system.

Devolver Bootleg is a joke, but a well made joke.

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.

Silence is made up of easy puzzles and it just lasts for about six hours, but the art direction is mesmerizing and the main characters are so well written. It is an enchanting interactive fairy tale and it will surely move you.

Among the Sleep recreates a world between dream and reality, seen by a 2-year-old baby. It is intriguing and disturbing and tells an interesting story. However, it has some technical problems that can annoy some players.

Don't Starve Mega Pack is the definitive edition of a great survival game, with a beautiful "burtonesque" sense of wonder. Try it, if you haven't done before.

Lost Ember is a beautiful wild adventure, a journey through the memory of a lost civilization, a travel touched by too many technical errors.

We were kinda disappointed by the “Rachel Amber” mystery and this chapter’s pacing, but it’s still an enjoyable ride that closes with a decent cliffhanger.

A very fun and enjoyable title in the early rounds of play. If you are looking for an unusual shooter this could be the game that suits you.

Happy Action Theater is a unique product, which exploits the features of Kinect and manages to recreate onscreen situations that all of us as children, at least once, we have dreamed or imagined living.

Code Vein 2 is the classic example of a sequel that refuses to settle. It doesn’t take shortcuts, nor does it simply refine what already worked; instead, it deliberately tries to expand its scope, even at the risk of overreaching. This choice inevitably creates imbalances, and the game makes no effort to hide them: ambition often exceeds the ability to control it, layering sometimes turns into redundancy, and some solutions struggle to take a fully realized form.

It has some flaws, but it’s also an original and valid cooperative experience. When played with friends it can be brilliant at times, what it lacks is the capability to impress as much when played solo, and some technical finishing touches.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 The Final Chapter Prologue is an atypical collection: on one hand able to enchant with Dream Drop Distance, for gameplay and for the graphics, but on the other hand it doesn't impress with Birth by Sleep 0.2. The Back Cover film, then, doesn't transmit great feelings.

Seasons after Fall is a visually stunning video game, able to surprise and enchant thanks to a hand-drawn 2D graphics. On the other hand it may be too simple, due to generally little complex platforming sections and puzzles, devoid of a real challenge rate.

This DLC connects all the elements given in the previous ones. The Rise of Iron is not the biggest DLC of the three, but has the strength to bring Destiny on a level of stylistic maturity.

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.

Fun, Outrightness and the technical component are absolutely tangible in the game, what is lacking is a creative idea. We would have expected it from talented developers like Housemarque.

ECHO is a good videogame debut: it's a fantascientific monologue about solitude represented like a theatre play. Its "scene" is highly detailed, but the game is not very technically optimized. The gameplay is deeply based on stealth, but sometimes it lacks of classical mechanics of the genre. Its minimal cast provides a different vision of the science-fiction future, and it's recommended mainly to those who like such an intimistic vision. Others may consider to ponder about.

Mario Sports Superstars won't wow any 3DS fan, since a lot of the content is recycled from other franchises and other 3DS games (such as Mario Golf World Tour e Mario Tennis Open), but, taken for what it is, a nice collection of very good sport-inspired minigames, can grant several hours of fun to both veterans and newcomers.

Mario Party 9 changes its own formula with new mechanics. Finally more balance between luck and player skill - it is still one of the most fun games to play with friends, absolutely the king of party games. A good restart from the last chapter.

Nikoderiko: The Magical World is everything that nostalgic fans of old platformers need to dive back into the memories of yesteryear. It may not be among the most original games of the past decade, given the many similarities to Crash Bandicoot and Donkey Kong, but the care with which the work was created allows it to stand at more than decent levels of harmonious enjoyment.

There is no doubt that Shattered Horizon has brought a breath of fresh air, in the FPS genre. Unfortunately there are too many gaps, probably related to inexperience in the field of gaming Futuremark, which do not do take the flight to this title. On all a mediocrity technical realization and optimization, the presence of a single weapon, and only three game modes. Addition, the request of Windows Vista or 7 and a high-end computers, creates an impact heavily on the number of potential players. However we should remember that future updates might make the gaming experience more varied and enjoyable.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is a good add-on, with a new realm, main quest and characters, but still not up to the Morrowind standard.

The new PvE formula is fun and engaging. Rainbow Six Extraction feels and plays like a true Rainbow Six, yet it needs some improvements in its structures and challenges.

Scoregasm offers hours of challenging fun. The low price determines its success.

OnRush is a brilliant and original title, but not as deep as other competitive alternatives. Now that there's the base of the structure and it's clearly good and intuitive, developers have the responsibility to bring continuos new elements to support to their, hopefully, growing creature.

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.

A very good episode with a lot of action and new characters.

Yooka-Laylee is a love letter to 3D platformer of twenty years ago. It is everything a fan of the best RARE works can expect, the real Banjoo-Kazooie spiritual successor. Despite some camera issues and the not so smooth controls, it deserves your attention.

Windjammers is the umpteenth blast from the past, the golden age era of gaming. In 2017, is still a great sport game that didn't age a single day.

WWE 2K19 is more rich than 2K18 and has a better campaign mode. Gameplay and graphics didn't change too much with all the things we didn't like about it.

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 finally brings this anime and manga series in the portable universe of PSP. The roster is huge, the new multiplayer options are quite delightful, but the combat system is too flat and button smashing-oriented. A game only suggested for the fans of the brand. Fans ready to touch the identical mechanics of the past.

Omega is a good DLC, thanks to Aria T'Loak: she's a great character and that's a pleasure to help her to re-gain power. Unfortunately nothing in this new adventure will change Shepard's fate and to access it you need a save before the final act of Mass Effect 3, or you'll have to to start the game from the beginning another time. Price is expansive, 1200 MP for 5 hours of fights and dialogue, but Bioware plays clean and settings of Omega are all new, not recycled from Mass Effect 2.

A nice puzzle platformer, which is not as easy as you might imagine looking at its art style. Pricey, but good.

The fact that we had fun playing the Swords of Ditto, with its constant sense of progression and good variety of situations, doesn't make it a perfect game, with a fun but too simple combat system and too much repetition between one run and the the others. Still, a good roguelite to play both on your own or with a friend.

The Disney Afternoon Collection is an act of faith, but also a dip in the nostalgia of the '80s and' 90s. Only one half of the products present in the collection, however, deserves to be gnawed to the bottom, but the inclusion of rewind and time trial allow you to have rewarding and pleasant solutions for the gameplay.

Microsoft Flight, despite being a free to play game, has a low amount of content, which will hopefully come later on with various add ons. However, this is a free game that deserves a chance and should be played by everyone at least for a few hours.

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.

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.

Need for Speed Unbound is a good mix of cartoon characters, graffiti and frantic racing, but nothing more.

Shadow Tactics brings back the atmosphere of some classics, like Commandos and Desperados, with a hard and fun tactical gameplay.

A good remake of a great rhythm game, even if time hasn’t been too kind with the original and now it doesn’t really have the innovative energy it had when it came out. The peculiar ost might be disliked by some players, but it’s definitely a satisfying romp for fans of electronica. Give it a chance if you need some rhythm in your life.

The time spent with Scribblenauts Unlimited is mostly good time, but there are some issues that are preventing it from becoming a complete experience. Once players get the grasp on the mechanics the game becomes excessively easy, and the many puzzles not always are capable of offering a diversified experience. 5th Cell's game seems built around the Wii U Gamepad, a plus, but that shows the portable origins of the series, a series that needs something more to compete in the home-consoles environment.

NBA Live 18 is a good game, far from the best of the genre, but enjoyable and improved from the last chapter. If you aren't familiar with this kind of game, this could be the game for you.

Stray reminds of the good old adventure games with puzzles and little sandbox sections. Besides the cute protagonist, you're gonna love the other characters and their stories.

There are no compromises with Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus, if you own a Playstation Vita and you have never had the chance to play the original game, then the purchase is a must, otherwise you can easily avoid it.

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 Gunk is a little hidden gem that, despite not feeling innovative or deep, is able to entertain and move the player.

Realpolitiks is a Europa Universalis-like, it's a grand strategy sets in the present and in the near future. It is suitable for everyone, but too easy for more experienced that are looking for a real challenge.

Tower defense aficionados will definitely like this game. It has a unique (but intuitive) control system and a deep strategy element. It’s even fun in multiplayer, thus making originality and lack of modes its only weakness. It’s a significant weakness, though.

DJ Max Fever brings this korean franchise in Europe, proposing the same gameplay and structure of BeatMania brand by Konami. The music selection, the quantity of unlockable contents and GDR elements are good, but long loading times, the general hard difficulty and button mashing mechanics ruin the work.

Even if it's far from perfect, The Entropy Centre is an interesting experience and its puzzles are satisfying.

God Wars: The Complete Legend is a new and richer version of the previous game launched in 2017, however it shows some graphical imperfections and its content does not show any particular improvement even on the technical side. Anyway, this JRPG sounds very familiar to us and it can be enjoyed very well both on TV or in handheld version.

The Dwarves is the game that every dwarf fan was waiting for. It has a well-narrated plot and challenging-but-satisfying gameplay.

A Night in Karazhan allows Medivh to live a second life to our eyes, but the adventure besides the chess game doesn't propose anything new. The cards don't change the metagame, but they are interesting in order to improve some classes.

The first part of Ties That Bing shows new characters and a tougher, charming Clementine which appears to be more interesting. Still, Javier, his family and the other characters still have to demonstrate their true potentiality.

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.

The title developed by 11 Bit Studios is certainly a curious representative of its kind. All lovers of Tower Defense and tactical games in general should definitely buy Anomaly: Warzone Earth and test its ability to push the player to think quickly and act. For lesser experts, our advice is to wait for a bid before the purchase.

Wii Party is the brand-new "family friendly" Wii game. It features a lot of cool and interesting minigames, easily enjoyable by everybody.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is yet again another quality selection of fighting games, even if it will probably be less impactful for new players.

A fizzy Breakout-style game with some puzzle mechanics and a fresh and colorful level design. It’s fun, even if it is wanting few extra contents and lack of longevity.

A complete lack of innovation and old graphics make this game suitable just for who is looking for an atipic and subtly weird game. It's full of subquests and funny things to do, but gameplay sadly feels completely unpolished.

Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters: Daybreak Special Gigs delivers thrilling narrative and interesting characters that make this visual novel one worth to play despite a muddled and sometimes frustrating gameplay.

Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster is still the timeless JRPG we all know and love, but the launch price and the lack of new content makes it hard to recommend this new version over the older ones.

Content-wise, the works of Yuke's are always great and this year the Japanese developers have outdone themselves. This games features some of the most spectacular events in WWE history.

Journey to the Savage Planet is an unpredictable adventure that knows how to amaze, entertain and make fun of capitalism.

Road Not Taken is a good game, puzzle game fans will definitely appreciate it. We loved the procedurally-generated levels and the great variety of enemies, but the management of the difficulty is not perfect. Spry Fox is certainly a brilliant developer.

Claire is a tribute to the old survival horror games like Silent Hill: it succeeds to provide a spooky atmosphere and has an interesting story. Another success for indie developers.

This return of Serious Sam has been a pleasant trip back in time. The gameplay remains unchanged, so excellent in its simplicity and immediacy in the high level of challenge proposed. The graphic restyling seems very successful and gives hope as what we could expect with the arrival of the third chapter Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter it's identical to the original one, with better graphics, nothing more and nothing less.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 is too similar to the previous game to justify a full price. Nevertheless, is one of the finest golf simulations to date.

Sea of Solitude tells a compelling story about depression, bullying and family problems. Nonetheless the game is too easy, guided and brief.

A well-crafted title that mixes elements from platform, stealth and puzzle games. Some sequences linger a bit much on a trial & error system, but the overall experience is very pleasant.

This new chapter in the Dynasty Warriors saga introduces some interesting changes on gameplay. The new story mode is fascinating, and the introduction of the 2 weapons really interesting. The gameplay and the graphics are similar to the previous chapter, so the fans will like it, while the others find the game repetitive and boring.

Escalation manages to improve many aspects of the past Ashes of the Singularity, it brings two new campaigns that deserve to be played this time, many new units and the strategic zoom. Unfortunately there are still many problems with the path-finding, that cause a lot of frustration.

If you can ignore the fact that there are four or five better choices for the same genre on the 3DS family of console (Etrian Odysseys and Persona Q anyone?), 7th Dragon III Code VFD is a competent dungeon crawler, that features original jobs, a solid combat system and a fairly uninspired story.

Iron Harvest is a classical RTS game, very inspired by Company of Heroes. It is not a revolutionary game, but the 1920+ universe adds a unique flavour.

This new chapter in the Dynasty Warriors saga introduces some interesting changes on gameplay. The new story mode is fascinating, and the introduction of the 2 weapons really interesting. The gameplay and the graphics are similar to the previous chapter, so the fans will like it, while the others find the game repetitive and boring.

After many months of delay, we expected more form Not a Hero. This free DLC tells the story of Chris Redfield chasing the lunatic Lucas Baker, and can be also the starting point for the new chapter.

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. The only downsides are a short length and a lack of variety, but this is nonetheless recommended to Adol Christin fans.

This new iteration feels fun for both bike-enthusiasts and newcomer alike, but it's still an old-gen game and it shows.

Episode 5 is a breath of fresh air for Hitman, after the not-so-brilliant missions in Marrakesh and Bangkok. This chapter is harder and you need to be smart in order to take down more targets than ever. Still, we enjoy 47 more when he has to infiltrate some civilian mansion and not a militarised orchard.

If you think about Mankind Divided, A Criminal Past feels like a more of the same: the plot is nothing special and the level design is not as brilliant as it was in the main game, but the prison is a fascinating scenery and the way you have to deal with the lack of augmentations make things way more interesting.

Harmony: The Fall of Reverie is a visual novel with an unexpected depth, perhaps the Don't Nod's truly artistic videogame.

The Imperial City experiment didn’t work out as intended, and was abandoned. It’s not the case with Orsinium, definitely a well made DLC with a lot of PVE content. Its biggest merit? You can play it at any level, and have some fun even without reaching the cap. The bad? A bunch of bugs and glitches, lack of originality, and the Maelstrom Arena. Let’s hope Zenimax will be a bit bolder with DLCs in the future. For now, it’s all good.

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.

Hohokum is a title that makes colors and imagination its centerpiece: one of those games that bombards the senses of those who decide to try it, and tries to conquer the mind with its creativity and artistic impact.

Crazy Machines 3 is a quite good puzzle game, with cute graphics and a very functional physics system. The game is always challenging but never frustrating, and if you are stuck with an enigma our suggestion is to play it with a friend.

This final release for Grounded confirms that Obsidian gave its soul to the game, crafting a survival game which is still improvable, but unique in a lot of ways.

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.

Tekken 3D Prime Edition it's perfect to play against your friends with wireless connection but it lacks about single player modes.

This is fanservice for mecha fans in its purest form. Armored core lovers will definitely appreciate the extensive multiplayer and the usual amazing customization options, everyone else will probably give up soon, due to the boring and repetitive campaign and gigantic amount of data that needs to be absorbed.

Daedalic's first time in the world of RPG is one of those to remember. Blackguards is not a flawless game: it has a slow gameplay that after hours and hours can be boring, technically it is not that great and has an annoying problem of balancing the difficulty. Yet it remains a great role-playing game.

Awesomenauts is an interesting diversion from the main route that the Massive Online Battle Arena genre followed. An immediate but profound gameplay, with good graphics and music too. Some problems with the matchmaking and the absence of a different mode than the primary, are the only reasons why the game can't get any more than this.

Considering that this is the first title of Anarteam and that this was first born as a school assignment of 5 students, this is a more than decent start.

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.

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.
