    Yomawari: Night Alone is a "cute survival horror" with a classic structure, a little bit of backtracking and a helpless character that must overcome her fears. Despite the unique design, it has some frustrating moments and a weak plot.

    Aragami is an old school stealth game without compromises: you cannot defend yourself and you may die with a single hit. The variety of the shadow powers is counterbalanced by a little bit of repetitiveness on the long run.

    Battlefield 1 has some new great features, for example the War Stories for the single-player and Operations for the multi. The gameplay is brilliant, but fast, and sometimes seems not so integrated with the atmosphere of the Great War. Despite of some minor technical problems on the multiplayer, the game is graphically marvelous and the soundrtrack is as well.

    Rhythm Heaven Megamix is a sort of "best of", including over eighty songs from the previous episodes of the franchise, and adding a welcome Story mode to ease new players into the gameplay. Still, the game can be very demanding and you may have already heard most of the songs included in the package.

    VR Worlds is nothing more than an assemble of tech demos, some more efficient than others. While this could've been acceptable had the game been included for free in the VR package, the tag price makes us suggest to avoid it at all costs.

    Rigs manages to deliver fun and thrilling online matches. While some may experience motion-sickness due to the fast-paced gameplay, Guerrilla has done everything to contain the problem. What holds Rigs from achieving greater scores is the small number of game modes, which could make the game boring after a short period of time.

    Ride 2 is the classic “more of the same” title, adding more tracks and more bikes to the previous game of the series, but failing to correct all its serious flaws. A nice game for people who loves bikes and never had the chance to play the first Ride, but surely not a must have masterpiece in racing games history.

    Gears of War 4 lives up to the expectations and even improves an almost perfect formula.

    The Huntsman: Winter Curse is a pretty accessible RPG. The graphic is cool and if you never played an RPG before you can appreciate it. Otherwise if you are a hard core role player gamer you will find the mechanics of the game too easy and the story already seen in a lot of similar productions.

    Even being the best title inspired by the Sonic Boom cartoon (Ryse of Liric and Shattered Crystal were both a mess), Sonic Boom Fire and Ice fails to impress long time fans of the blue Sega mascot, due to a bland level design, a childish difficulty level and the unimaginative repetition of the same puzzles and monster types.

    Naruto Blazing is probably more an app than a real videogame. its combat system turn-based is completely focused on positioning and combos.

    Replica is an interesting indie game, built over the idea of searching terroristic proofs in someone else phone, under the orders of a totalitarian government agency. While the plot is well written, and the setting is peculiar, graphically the game is really poor and the gameplay suffers a lot for the simplification of the game structure. In the end, it is a title just for people that like well written adventures, and that are able to accept a lot of limitations about all other features.

    Mount & Blade: Warband is an awesome "Middle Age simulator". If you are not afraid of an hard initial approach and love roguelike mechanics, this game could give you a lot of hours of pure fun.

    Awesomenauts: Overdrive adds some awesome characters to the already good roster. The heroes are maybe too much powerful compared to the old characters, but we think they'll be probably balanced in the future. The Starstorm map is very good: teleports are a nice idea that makes the gameplay more tactical and fast. Spend your money if you like the game, but take into account that the price is not so cheap if compared to the original title.
