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.

Capcom found a new, perfect alchemy by incorporating all the classic elements and placing them in a new context, with the player's prospective changing and fitting a new game world built to give horror the maximum effectiveness. Resident Evil 7 has returned to his roots, for real.

Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach could be a good turn based strategy game, some mechanics are well implemented but numbers and statistics seem to be quite random.

Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star is a game made of highs and lows. Its indisputable merits counteract an equally large number of defects, which make the purchase only recommended to fans of the Fate series.

It's easy to recommend Yakuza Zero to all fans of the series, as it tells a brilliant origin story that shows unseen sides of both the Kazuma and Majima personalities, and, at the same time, it's easy to dismiss this prequel as "another Yakuza game" for those whio never got to like the series. All in all, it's a solid and well written debut on PS4.

More a continuation of the events of the first game than a proper sequel, Trails of Cold Steel II is "more of the same" done right, as the basic gameplay of the prequel didn't need changes. While a no brainer for veterans, this second chapter is not recommended for newcomers, who should pick up the first title to have an understanding of the world and characters.

Detention preserves the historical memory of Taiwan, showing the bloody roots of a country oppressed by the martial law for over 38 years. It is a unique and precious survival horror that knows how to tell an important, crucial and painful story that belongs to us all.

Rise & Shine's gameplay is fun and challenging, but the game has a really short length as well. Being a cheap indie game, it's definitely worth a try.

Dragon Quest VIII Journey of The Cursed King was an amazing JRPG back in 2006 and it stood the test of time brilliantly, thanks to the great work by the developers. There's much here to be loved by both the newcomers and the old fans, as we're talking about one of the best Japanese role playing games of all time, all considered.

Elena delivers a rather interesting story, which is paired with an explorative gameplay. The game is rather short, it shows some minor (although tedious) technical problems, and it is sold at a price that seems to be a little too high for the offer. Still, a quite suggested title if you are into games like Gone Home.

The Metronomicon is a good product, refined and polished. Rhythm game ethusiasts will probably love it but this is not for sure a game for everybody. The gameplay is neat and structured. The rpg elements add a strategic twist to the adventure, bringing innovation in a classic genre in which Puuba takes the opportunity to risk and succeed.

Carbon Warfare is a real-time strategy that goes beyond the sole moral issue. If you leave out the fact that the aim of the game is to exterminate mankind, you'll find below are mechanical solid, complex to the environment in which they live and full of replay value based on the difficulty selected. Sure you can find competitors that give something similar at a lower price, perhaps with advertising or consumables; but if you are looking for an experience that does not lose focus on the gameplay in favor of the monetization, the Vituos game could do for you.

99Vidas managed to surprise us: a product that fans of the beat 'em up genre should look into. Being a low budget indie we're satisfied as it is, even if it could have been even better.

Grumpy Cat’s Worst Game Ever is a funny collection of a bunch of simple mini-games, perfect to be played on your smartphone. Unfortunately, the simple structure of the game will easily bore users who search for more gratifying experiences. In the end, a fair free-to-play game to spend some funny minutes in our spare time, but surely not a must have mobile game.

The second part of Ties that Bind represents the real start of the third season of The Walking Dead, delivering a fast-paced story with interesting twists and characters. The presence of this "new" Clementine is fascinating, but it can create some flaws on the narrative side and in the decision process of the player.

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.

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.

Beholder delivers a tough experience from the narrative standpoint, and a challenging gameplay. The player will face hard choices, and will have to live with the aftermath of its decisions every single time. The graphic is appealing, though sometimes it feels like the burden that the player has to carry - especially with the high number of quests given at the same time - can be a little discouraging. However, this is an original and suggested game.

An interesting mix between fiction and reality, Archimedes delivers a sufficient story and some catchy dynamics. However, the title is barely definable as a game, and more as an interactive experiment.

Instant, perfect for mobile and sizzling. But Super Mario Run is also very short and the kingdom mode has little depth: the challenges, however, regain longevity.

Space Hulk: Deathwing is a squad-based shooter, like Left 4 Dead or Vermentide, but its gameplay lacks innovations and the AI is not cooperative. The situation is saved thanks to the atmosphere and the graphical component.

Few additions and a great new tracklist make Just Dance 2017 advisable to purchase for another year. Companion App works very well. Just Dance 2017 brings fun again.

Filthy Lucre feels like a wasted opportunity: the seemingly good stealth mechanics in the end get ruined by an incredibly stupid AI and a bad combat system.

City of Light is an underwhelming epilogue that fails to impress. Most of the time it's enjoyable to play, but it lacks an actual ending for the series.

Little Briar Rose is one of a kind, an ancient tale brought to a new life. It gives a good time thanks to its lovely design and funny characters.

Steep is not a game for gamers, but it is a game for mountain lovers. With gameplay that's easy to learn but hard to master, immerses players in a huge environment full of challenges. Great first contact waiting for a more refined second chapter.

Steins;Gate 0 has just one fault, which is that you need to play the first game in the series to fully appreciate the story, the character progression, the new twist on some of the protagonists. Apart from this, we're talking about one of the best script in recent memory, and a high quality visual novel for both Vita and Ps4 owners.

Let It Die is a unique free-to-play game with great settings and gameplay. This souls-like manages to create an engaging experience along the levels of the Tower of Barbs through good combat system and interesting character development. Procedural level design might be a little repetitive but it is a compromise that is worth taking. Multiplayer is solid and well developed as well, it creates genuine competition among the players.

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.

Maize is a first person adventure, full of humor and nonsense, with talking corn and Russian Teddy Bear. However, the puzzles are very easy to solve and the journey is short and linear.

How To Survive 2 is a pleasant game, especially if you play it with your friends. The game shows a more structured gameplay and well-designed crafting system. However, there is a general lack of information during the first hours, and the resources - especially food and water - sometimes are really hard to find.

The Last Guardian closed Ueda's trilogy with an important signal: the poem before the content, but the poetry tends toward the vacuum, leaving a beautiful picture to see, but not beautiful to live.

Dead Rising 4 provides a very entertaining experience and the gameplay is still simple and solid. Unfortunately the Capcom title has the same “old” side missions and the usual AI issues. Even with its problems, the game is a ton of fun to play.

Apocalypse marks an improvement in every way over Shin Megami Tensei IV, that already was one of the best JPRG available on the 3DS family of consoles. The user interface, the map, the companion system, the demon alignment are all welcome changes especially because they come on top of a fascinating setting and a gritty storyline.

It doesn't reach the quality level of the old Wave Race games, but it's still a good restarting point for the genre.

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.

Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS is not just a shrunken-down version of its Wii U counterpart, but a title that puts more emphasis on the single player and on local sharing of contents. It's a pity, then, that no online sharing is included and that some features are missing. Still, a worthy episode for long time fans of the franchise.

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

A pure tribute to the arcade games of the 80s, like Ghost'n Goblins or Rastan. It is a not a mere copy but it has a own soul, universe and mythology inspired by the medieval spanish tradition.

Moto Racer 4 isn't certainly the series' return we were hoping for. It's an obviously rushed title, made in the hopes of gaining money thanks to the brand's name.

The best open-world game of the year. The map is huge and the battle-system is dynamic and engaging, the art directions is satisfying. Despite some minor problems, this XV chapter of Final Fantasy sets a new road for the future of the series.

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

Shu has pretty and nice visuals, and a solid gameplay, which mixes classic dynamics with original features, and shows a good level design. The game is suggested, even if it lasts only a few hours and it does not present such strong incentives to play it again.

A pleasant and immediate experience, enjoyable with a VR headset but also in a more traditional way. The game does not deliver a real challenge, but it want to represent a way to relax, and enjoy the beautiful landscapes included in the four levels. If you are looking for a game that reveals itself as frantic and adrenalinic, Lantern is not your pick. However, if you want to explore a pleasant and quiet world, it might be just what you are looking for.

Adrenaline and the strength of Bruce's will are at the core of Episode 4, which is shorter than the previous episode, but more action-packed and enjoyable. Will Episode 5 live up to the high expectations generated by the well-crafted first four episodes? It's up to Telltale.

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.

Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization does not depart from the fluctuating quality of its predecessors, with a pleasant story, though designed specifically for fans of the original work, accompanied by a complex and layered gameplay, which, however, has unclear mechanics to challenge even the most experienced of players.

Thanks to an intriguing plot, a rich world and interesting characters, Deponia remains a beautiful adventure four years after its original release. The controls on consoles are good enough, but the same can't be said for the launch price tag, which makes this new version much more expensive than the whole trilogy on PC.

Amnesia Collection is the perfect opportunity for PS4 owners to embrace the horror created by Frictional Games. It contains the Dark Descent, its DLC Justine and A Machine for Pigs, and they are quite identical to the PC versions.

RollerCoaster Tycoon World is a pale shadow of the past RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. The rollercoaster editor works well, but it is also the only good element of the game.

Killing Floor 2 is a very good choice if you, and your friends, are a maniac with a weird lust to kill hordes of horrible monsters. Cooperative mod is challenging but not too varied while the competitive mod is funny but unbalanced. Know this and have fun.

WinKings had potential, but was struck down by the excessive simplicity of gameplay, short length of campaign and lack of content.

WARSHIFT is a strange creature, half RTS and half TPS, made only by one person, Cyril Megem. The mix works well but neither the strategy nor the shooting sections are perfect.

Ubisoft brings together three of the most important games of the Assassin's Creed series, forgetting the years that have passed since their release date. The increase in resolution is not enough to modernize gameplay that has been stopped while the world has evolved.

Planet Coaster manages to be a worthy heir of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, with a powerful rollercoaster editor and thanks to its beautiful graphics. Least successful is the management part.

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.

Being able to fly in a Paris reconquered by the nature is a moving experience, not to talk about confronting three against three online in VR, which is exciting. Too bad there is not enough content to keep high the player's attention.

Senran Kagura Bon Appetit Full Course delivers a good fan-service experience with the pretty girls and all the other things, but it's far from being an even decent rhythm game.

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.

Adam's Quest Origins is a bad adventure game and a barely good puzzle game. The environments looks good to watch but tearing everywhere and a lot of others technical problem make it not very good to play.

Pokèmon Sun is everything we wanted from this pokèmon generation. New mechanics, Alola Forms and Z Moves are the new great changes to the metagame and make this game excellent.

Pokèmon Sun is everything we wanted from this pokèmon generation. New mechanics, Alola Forms and Z Moves are the new great changes to the metagame and make this game excellent.

A funny, relaxing installment of the LEGO franchise, this is suitable for any Harry Potter fan who missed the original games.

Watch Dogs 2 tells the story of Marcus Holloway in a completely different way than the first chapter. There are some interesting additions that will be digested only if they're close to your personal taste. This is a fun title that can entertain you for a few dozen hours without difficulty, but it isn't able to emotionally get you in the beautiful but hardly-dynamic San Francisco.

Motorsport Manager does all the little things that the players will like. The thing is that the game tries to create an experience that change throughout the seasons, and it proposes different challenges in terms of mechanic setting, commercial management and race control. There are some simplified aspects and maybe some imprecise dynamics but from an overall perspective this is a much-suggested game - especially if you love managerial games focused on sport.

The formula of the first game is hugely improved, giving countless possibilities of different play styles. Karnaca is wonderful and the level design is superb: The Clockwork Mansion is impressive and so is the level with two different fluxes of time you can jump into without constraints. The game is highly replayable, offers a mode without powers and is one of the most inspired games of this generation.

An utterly original game, which is partially ruined by a rather repetitive gameplay, which suffers from the presence of hundreds of loading times, and other flaws. Still, the title has its charme, and it can be suggested to the players who love story-driven games.

Karma. Incarnation 1 is a fun and simple graphical adventure game, which makes the bizarre and psychedelic artistic style and his genuine humor its greatest strengths, but suffers from some problems that can ruin the experience.

It's hard not to recommend Tyranny to old school CRPG veterans, as its systems and gameplay mechanics are reminiscent both of the excellent Pillars of Eternity and the classics form the early 2000, but, at the same time, it sometimes seems as a lazy reskin of Obsidian's last efforts.

Ara Fell is like a fairy tale. Its lovely settings and charismatic characters will catch the player following the main quest, or just facing the bosses with uncommon strategy. And it's really too bad that all of this nice work matches with a poor attention to detail, like troublesome bug, which ruins the entire experience.

SuperHyperCube is a cute and fun puzzle game, but the lack of content could make the game boring too soon.

The choice regarding which titles to include in this Sega 3D Classics Collection is very questionable, as there are great titles (Sonic, Galaxy Force II, Power Drift, Puyo Puyo 2 and Fantasy Zone II), decent ones (Thunder Blade) and almost bad ones too (Altered Beast, Maze Walker). All of them have been treated with love and respect, and the price is right: nostalgia will be a factor, in the end.

A gorgeous world and wonderful creatures can't save Robinson: The Journey from its two main flaws: intolerable motion-sickness and lackluster gameplay.

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.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered is the first modern chapter of the series, great graphics and all the contents we remember from the past is the right receipt to bring back to life this game.

Call of Duty Warfare Infinite comes to the market with a lot of content, but little that is truly innovative. The campaign goes smoothly and lasts six hours, with no major twists. Specialist, perhaps, is the most interesting element of the mode and seems deliberately hidden and not valued properly. Jackal and Zero-G are interesting, but also have little space in the game. As for the multiplayer, there are new classes and the introduction of the crafting and "Mission Teams", of great interest for a greater involvement in the progression of the character, partially fails to evolve the game mechanics and gunplay. Zombies in Spaceland has no real problems but, apart from the madness of the situation and the many easter eggs, it repeats more or less the same concept of the series. In summary, a solid product that doesn't dare, but perhaps it should. Because the contents are so many and not bad, but the fun is sometimes hard to come by.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a substantial improvement on its predecessor.

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.

It's both very easy and very difficult to review this Special Edition: if you've never played Skyrim, you should buy it as soon as possible, as this is one of the finest WRPG ever made. On the other hand, if you've already spent hundred of hours into it, this edition may not offer anything worthwhile. In any case, just be sure to prefer the Xbox One version over the PS4 one.

It really is a pity that Chase: Cold Case Investigations didn't have the budget needed to make it stand out, or, at least, to make it as good as Cing's two DS adventures. Instead, what we have here is a very short and simple game, whose gameplay, number of locations and variety are somewhat too limited to make it worthwhile.

Episode 6: Hokkaido is a brilliant and good looking episode which offers you a lot of replay value. An absolutely good ending for Hitman Season 1, indeed.

Through the Woods offers a good atmosphere, a unique setting and many fascinating references to Nordic mythology. However, it suffers from many technical flaws. It also shows some problems with illumination system and when the torch is used towards the enemies.

Football Manager 2017 does not include revolutionary features, but it shows a massive amount of data at the disposal of managers who can create deep tactics and game plans. However, the introduction of social networks is not a big deal, and there are some wrong evaluations in the wages of players. All in all, this is still Football Manager, and if you are a soccer enthusiast, this is your game: if you missed the last two, three editions of the game, you should grab this one. If you played the iteration of last year, maybe you may have some doubts, but in the end, you should buy it as well.

This really is "Bruce Wayne - The Telltale Series", and that's a good choice. Episode 3 has a very slow start, but in the end it manages to make you feel more involved than ever.

If a very difficult puzzle platformer is what you're looking for, and you don't mind repetition and frustration, the Ninja Usagimaru may be the right game for you. Otherwise, even with a small price fee, the game is not worth it.

With Titanfall 2, Respawn is offering a fresh and new FPS, with a solid Campaign mode. Multiplayer is still very good but with some gameplay simplifications is not the total evolution we expected.

Looking at the name of the developers, of the person in charge for the soundtrack and of the games from which Exist Archive draws inspiration, it's hard not to be disappointed because this is just a "good" game and nothing more. The combat system is frantic and well done, but the bland level design and the repetitiveness both drag down the final result.

Viking Squad is a good beat-em-up. It delivers a genuine fun experience with the rail map construction, which is a brilliant and weird idea.

Civilization VI is a new beginning for the iconic series, with some new and fresh introductions that change the management of the cities and speed up the pace.

Ashes of Ariandel is a downloadable content that surprised us, and not always positively. An extremely high overall quality collides with a paucity of content, creating a controversial result, which satisfies a little bit, leaving the player in the grip of conflicting feelings.

This Batman collection is a good package for those who never played the original amazing games of the Arkham Saga.

Farming Simulator 17 is the natural evolution of the work done by Giants Software. The title does not revolutionize the game mechanics but adds a few key elements to improve the experience in the first few hours of play. Too bad the cosmetic component is not yet matching the actual games.

Oh...Sir! The Insult Simulator is a simple game, but also an original one, which will often make you laugh.

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.

With the adding of Shadow Lords, Killer Instinct become one of the most interesting fighting games of this generation. The Iron Galaxy title is a great and entertaining game; It offers an amazing experience, for the quantity and for the high quality of its content.

Here They Lie manages to create a succesfull sick atmosphere; the problem is that the player will get motion-sickness far too early in the game to really enjoy it or even finish it.

Thumper is a nonconformist rhythm game made by Drool where you are a space beetle, thrown through a breakneck race, build by nightmares.

WWE 2K17 features a few improvements but, in the end, it feels more like a lazy product. It mostly misses the Showcase mode and all the last updates from the recent brand extension. For these reasons, our advice is to wait a little for the pc version (which includes all dlc) or price drop.
