After a couple of years this is still a good and balanced JRPG, but this remastered version is way too overpriced in the light of no new content and no dub added. Just wait for a price drop before buying.

Europa is an adventure game set in stunning, Studio Ghibli-inspired landscapes, with a heartfelt narrative and a soundtrack that enhances every moment of discovery. The gameplay is designed to be relaxing, centered around the Zephyr—a unique jetpack that lets players gracefully glide through the air, soaring ever higher. In just three to four hours, Europa weaves a poignant story, guiding players on a journey to uncover a long-lost past.

Dino Path Trail is a journey we thoroughly enjoyed experiencing firsthand—an earnest and fairly successful attempt to break into the world of roguelikes, enriched with survival mechanics that add a refreshing twist, making each run as unpredictable as it is fun. It’s a bit of a shame the game didn’t push the pedal further when it came to integrating dinosaurs more deeply into the world, but we like this Frontier, and we’re eager to see if it can lay a solid foundation for the future of Void Pointer.

The puppies are just great, the setting is rich and full of secrets. If your babies have Kinect, this is the game. A shame for the sometimes malfunctioning controls and slow menus.

Katamari Forever is a tribute to fans of the series. In addition to two small improvements in terms of gameplay, the game does not reserve surprises: it's Katamari, in all its madness and charm. Unfortunately, all those who find themselves allergic to the series, will hardly find a reason to change their minds.

If you're aching for a good hunting game on your PS4, Toukiden Kiwami can be the right choice, especially if you didn't have a chance to play the last year's game on PSVita.

The classic more of the same. You won't find any new feature, combo or new gameplay idea here. Just for the die hard fans.

A title with some good aspects, especially like the scenario, the gameplay and the graphic appearance; a poor length and a low level of difficulty, though, don't allow Unmechanical to reach a higher rating.

LostWinds provides a pretty graphic and a good atmosphere. If you love platforms, don't miss it!

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.

Fuser is perfect when you can play freely with the console, creating sono exaggerate mashup. Unfortunately, the rhythm is broken by strange requests, by the point system and objectives.

It's a gigantic game, that uses the beloved One Piece license, and can stay almost on top of the musou genre just for that. Emphasis on "just", considering that, gameplay wise, it's the same old repetitive romp, with hundreds of brainless enemies, and only decent boss fights. Basically, it's a must for manga fans, and a good starting point for those few who don't know the One Piece series, but the musou genre really has to change.

Better than expected, the new Guitar Hero offers a great rock/metal tracklist (2112 from Rush will be long remembered). It's a great return to the roots of the saga, yet it lacks some true innovation, which we'll be seriously expecting for in the next future.

The new maps aren’t half bad, but this DLC is plagued by glitches that ruin the experience. Definitely not worth your money, at least until they fix it.

A lazy version of two exceptional titles. The insufficient level of the remastered fights with the extremely high value of the content.

Back 4 Blood is more than Left 4 Dead 3 with another name. It presents a strategic use of cards and a well developed progression system that guarantees a lot of fun and replayability.

Real music fans can’t dislike the Queen. Singstar: Queen keeps all the good things the serie has, introducing one of the best bands of all time.

Pix the Cat manages to be an interesting meeting point between the dynamics of Pac-Man and those of Snake, and propose well-designed puzzles and fun gameplay, able to stimulate your wit and your reaction time.

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.

El Hijo - A Wild West Tale is the perfect stealth game for those who are looking for an experience that is not too complex but still able to whet the intelligence, thanks to a mix of excellent level design, well-calibrated puzzle sections and many solutions offered in sandbox environments, all immersed in a spaghetti western atmosphere.

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

A solid collection, great for all DMC fans.

Cris Tales is based on an astonishing idea that could have innovated an entire genre. However, after few hours emerge some issues tied to underdeveloped combat mechanics and a scarcely balanced gameplay.

Probably the best manga inspired game around with its fast paced and accessible gameplay, and its gigantic roster. The new Story Mode is a step back compared to Ninja Storm 2, but the smart gameplay changes make this title considerably funnier, especially online.

Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas is a clone of Zelda (especially Wind Waker) that doesn't really do anything to avoid the comparison with the Nintendo brand. If the personality is dramatically under the heels, the game still manages to offer some fun thanks to the setting, the graphics and the exploration.

Sky Force Reloaded is a solid if unremarkable vertical shoot'em up, that capitalizes on the absence of similar titles on both Microsoft and Sony marketplaces. We had fun with it, especially with a friend locally, but that doesn't mean it is perfect. Still, a reasonable choice for fans of the genre.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is a technical mess and one of the worst ports we've seen in years.

On Your Tails is one of the most charming and surprising adventures we've played this year, even when it's held back by some gameplay flaws.

Fear seems to have forgotten what its name means. It's become an average linear and scripted shooter, and gone are the cinematographic sequences as well. On the other hand, there's some goodness in the 2 players coop and in multiplayer. Consider it only if what you seek is light FPS entertainment, better if played with a friend.

Wolfenstein is an average FPS, with main drawbacks like an excessive linearity (partially hidden by the town meta-level, unsuccessfully), a general lack of polish, and poor A.I. A good level design and great scripted fights will please who is looking for some easy fun, but ultimately this is really milking an historical license.

CRIMESIGHT formula is improvable and yet compelling: taking a little something from both Among Us and Clue, the game feels original and the online approach to investigation is pretty unique. Nevertheless, the UI is messy and the game isn't smart enough to avoid you feeling its repetitiveness.

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.

An MMO that doesn't cuddle the player, The Secret World can be a great experience for veteran fans of the genre. Unfortunately, its dark and beautifully crafted world isn't enough to cover the numerous flaws completely.

Despite the new (and better) A.I., a good level design and customization possibilities, Army of Two: The 40th Day falls short on some of its expectations. The moral system isn't well implemented, controls feel often clumsy and graphics are not up to the standard. It's still a game to consider if you like action games and cooperative, but not a must have. It's a shame, especially considering the fact that some more care for details could've made it a very good game.

Even with its bland dungeon design and lack of new ideas, Soul Hackers 2 is still an enjoyable and recommendable turn based JRPG, not on par with Atlus' best works but still better than many similar products. Just don't go in expecting a new masterpiece such as Persona 5 or SMT V.

One of the best online experiences so far on the PSP is watered down by a poor and very short story mode, lack of new features and the absence of a convincing story.

A game we'd recommend to anyone who wants to have the freedom to collect all eight hundred cars present and to guide them on the many paths available while you are traveling by train or waiting for the bus stop.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a rough gem that, beneath a tough and unyielding exterior, offers a number of very interesting insights, making it worth playing for those who appreciate the genre.

Warhammer lovers will surely enjoy Darktide, despite it feels more like a game still in the early access phase than a finished and already polished one.

3DS - It wasn't simple to bring a gamecube title to a portable console, and at the end of its life, but Luigi's Mansion on 3DS has something to tell on this generation of console. Some problems of the original game remain in the porting process, especially backtracking and clunky controls, but they don't ruin the experience with the game.

Ubisoft Kiev brings Rogue Assassin's Creed to PC convincing in every aspect and the game is certainly better and visually richer compared to what we saw last November on consoles.

Princess Peach: Showtime! is an exemplar of Nintendo's game design philosophy, delivering an innovative and cohesive gaming experience that challenges expectations and recalls the essence of video games.

Cloud Chamber offers an unusual experience: the fulcrum is not the story itself, but the active collaboration between the users, that delivers a truly adventure MMO experience. Until the story will entertain the players, and the spoilers will be avoided, the game can be considered as a good experiment.

It's impossible not to love Pikuniku, but now I want some more.

Thanks to the new turn based combat and the added DLCs, the console version of Pathfinder Kingmaker is on par with the PC one, and comes recommended for all RPG fans.

A real must buy for every fan of the saga, Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 flattens some flaws and delivers a great single player campaign and a funny multiplayer. Add impressive graphics and the deal is one you shouldn't miss if you love Naruto.

PS4 - TT Isle of Man - Ride on the Edge 2 manages to improve some aspects of its precursor and offers an enjoyable, yet improvable experience.

Simple, addictive and free: that's enough to download it, even if far from perfect.

Not a game for everyone, that's for sure. But a fun, deep and rewarding one, that shows, more than its age, the emptiness of many contemporary titles.

What we have here is two good games (good not great) bundled together but without any significant extra, except for the Petta Mode in Makai Kingdom. If you know and love these old hidden gems, give them a second go. Otherwise, wait for a sale.

Ride 4 has lots of new modes and content, but the same technical issues with graphics and AI.

Mini Ninjas is an action-adventure-rpg with simple gameplay mechanics but with a lot of objects, spells and scrolls to be found. The final product is sometimes funny, but never compelling. That makes Mini Ninjas child-oriented; adults may like the visual style, but won't be entertained by its gameplay.

Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom is a videogame that the original opera lovers can not pass up. The repetitiveness of the missions and the various technical problems affect only partly an experience as much fun as spectacular, full of mechanics that make it perfectly the idea of what it means to fight against the Titans.

An action game with interesting and funny combat system, but very repetitive.

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.

Distance is an evolution of Nitronic Rush and represents something fresh for the genre.

Improving on the original in many ways, De Blob 2 is a funny and colourful platform experience.

Still Wakes the Deep is a classic walking simulator with few interactions. It's a very linear and guided horror game with a good story and a gameplay that comes from 2010, too simple to leave a mark in this competitive market.

Mafia 2 is a great experience, thanks to a believable cast of characters and a wonderful setting. Sadly, the lack of longevity and some technical flaws somehow spoil the global experience, especially if compared with other recent free roaming experiences.

Shadow Warrior on Xbox One is neither an example of great graphics, nor a deep shooter. Instead, it is an old-style FPS fun and boisterous, full of explosions and blood but also less trivial than you could expect.

The developers of Atelier Firis tried to create a product that could satisfy both purists and new players. And they succeeded: even if it is a niche title, it's worth a look by the fans of the genre.

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.

Fire Emblem Warriors is surely the best musou to grace a console in recent years: the strategic elements taken from the Fire Emblem franchise deepen its gameplay, making it attractive even to non-musou fans.

Cat Quest is strongly hindered by its original mobile game nature, but even with the excessive simplification of mechanics and short longevity it can bring a smile to gamers, providing to be accessible even for inexperienced players.

Crytek delivers a decent pick and play game beautiful to see but not so fun to play.

Relicta is a first-person physics-based puzzle game that you should try. The gameplay is very interesting: you have to deal with complex mechanics of altering the magnetism and gravity.

The Ascent constantly reminds you that it's an indie game, having both ambitious ideas you won’t find in your typical AAA blockbuster and not-so-brilliant execution. Despite the missed opportunities, it still is a fascinating universe and an enjoyable isometric shooter RPG.

John Wick Hex is a turn-based strategy game that breaks every rule and sets a new standard.

Let's face it: you have no excuses anymore for not playing this little gem.

FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 sure can't be defined as a revolution within the series. The die-hard fans of the series will find a game that can break the monotony of FIFA 14, but at a price way too expensive given the scarce amount of new content.

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.

Every child is a dreamer and this game puts this concept at its very core.

The idea of bringing the universe of the classic Metro series into a virtual reality adaptation is truly intriguing, and Metro Awakening successfully recreates its signature atmosphere of dread and fear of the unknown. This is particularly well-executed thanks to an intuitive control system and user interface that fully immerse players in the game’s post-apocalyptic world. However, a major drawback lies in the repetitiveness of scenarios and environments, which is further exacerbated by the overly long duration of the experience. The final sections, in particular, could have benefited from being more streamlined. That said, despite its various flaws, the game remains an enjoyable experience, especially if you’re a fan of the franchise and eager to dust off your VR headset (especially the PS VR2) after it has likely been sitting unused for a while.

Cities Skylines II does its best to become the best city builder on the market and this first step surprises for how many things Colossal Order managed to improve. Of course it still needs more time to build (pun intended) on this foundation, but the ambition of this game was surely delivered with the right amount of love and care for even the little details.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst fully improves the concept of the first chapter by enormously expanding the setting and deepening the characters' and the world's story.

A disorienting game which delivers a twisted story and a wonderful soundtrack. The gameplay, though, puts the player in a passive role, and the PC version shows some technical flaws. A conceptual project that will be judged as brilliant by some players - but also boring by many others.

Artistically interesting and eclectic, this update of Rocketbirds knows how to tell a story, too bad its gameplay lacks a bit in depth.

Sparc is a fresh and entertaining vSport that resembles the old classic Pong; however, the fun isn't long-lasting because of the small amount of content the game has to offer.

The Beast Inside is a a game with two souls: the first is close to a political thriller, the second one is more suitable for the genre and offers true moments of horror.

CYGNI may not be the new "benchmark in shoot 'em ups", but it's still a fun game with a great passion for a genre that has almost become a niche one.

Peril on Gorgon tells a compelling and unsettling story about work dehumanization mixed with an intriguing family mystery. Despite the lack of new gameplay content, it is a recommended DLC.

While it doesn't innovate the genre to which it belongs in any way, Battle Royale is still simply fun, immediate and full of personality. From a technical point of view, the game does not allow complaints, while a moderate disappointment is to be expected in the lack of truly original modes that could have made the game a gem. Despite this, we encourage all to give Battle Royale a chance before calling it a copy of the legendary Smash Bros.

This reboot of Shadow Warrior can be defined as the glorious return of a famous brand of the 90s, a brand remembered with great affection by the players of the time. This modern version deserves to be played in this very valuable new edition.

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.

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.

Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song is a work that embraces its past and chooses not to hide it. It makes no effort to appear more modern than it is, and perhaps that is exactly what makes it so captivating. A complex journey, at times hostile, yet capable of offering a sense of freedom that few contemporary JRPGs can provide. And now that it finally speaks Italian as well, one can say that its world is, for the first time, truly open to everyone.

As far as we are concerned, Atomfall is the most brilliant and inventive title to ever come from Rebellion. It's fun, smart, highly replayable and well written, and almost forced us to begin a second run as soon as we completed the first. The combat system is basic, however (especially lacking in close combat), and the AI routines are limited. A nice try overall, and we hope to see a sequel soon.

A good porting of the HD version, but there's nothing really new for the fans of the saga.

Marvel Rivals is a solid hero shooter, undoubtedly fun, but it conceals a stale game design beneath the mask of a fresh and effective aesthetic. Those who are tired of hero shooters will find little of interest in the few gameplay innovations Marvel Rivals offers. However, others will enjoy what is certainly the best title in the genre currently on the market, bolstered by an active community (at least for now).

Famicom Detective Club is a blast from Nintendo's forgotten past, a package made with love and respect to the original material. These are nice mystery novels, somehow bogged down by old game design and an archaic UI. Still, we recommend them to all the fans of the genre.

A really solid MMO with fast paced combat completely free. Don’t miss the chance to try this great adventure.

Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars is a solid reboot of the original 4x historical game. The best years have gone, however, and the lack of innovations is present in almost every single aspects of the game.

A good porting of the HD experience. The main lacking feature is the database, which you can patiently update.

Jaws of Hakkon is a good start for Inquisition's DLCs, though Bioware could definitely do more. If you loved the formula of the original game, this addition will offer a new and interesting questline, extensive and inspired locations, a little extra loot and valuable information in terms of lore.

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

Oriental Empires is a solid 4X, but with a lack of innovations.

Harvestella is more than the sum of its parts, but it tries to merge some different gameplay souls into one nonetheless, resulting in a lack of depth in any of these.

You already knew what call of duty is about. A linear story mode with a lot of scripted scenes but with a frenetic and fast-paced multiplayer, unique in its genre. Year after year this is the Infinite Ward formula but with the next gen knocking on our door we were expecting much more.
