It's slightly better than last year's iteration, that's for sure, but the changes are negligible in most cases, and there's still a lot of work that could be done on the career mode. Solid gameplay and a lot of content makes this a good choice for bike aficionados anyway.

Impressive atmosphere, good puzzles and an absorbing storyline, in this slow but inspiring adventure. It's no masterpiece, but you'll want to discover more and more as you play.

Strife starts with an interesting approach to its single-player element, but in the end it remains a simplistic MOBA, that cannot really stand out. Its best elements are those that break the common mold of the genre, but those are not nearly enough.

A passable game for fans of the discipline, that could have been better without some strange interface problems and the lacking AI. The Pro Cyclist mode is a decent starting point for future chapters though.

The combat system is still great, and the new characters are a good addition, but Capcom didn't work too much on the graphics, nor on the structural problems of this fourth chapter in the action stylish saga created by Kamiya. Still a must have for action fans who didn't play the original, of course.

Good graphics and tense situations can't really save the player from the slow and tedious exploration and the cheap deaths. This kind of devices aren't exactly great from a game design standpoint, and relegate this product to a meager passing grade.

An honest shooter with a well built multiplayer soul, that does exactly what was promised by the developers and has some similarities with the Red Orchestra series. Not exactly a technical marvel, but a good game nonetheless.

23 years, and this is how it ends? Horrifying, and not in a good way. Illumination is an utter failure on all fronts, a derivative, boring and disappointing shooter. What a sad ending for this legendary series.

Quotation forthcoming.

If you want to relax and listen to your music Audiosurf 2 is a good pick. The introduction of Steam Workshop works well and adds variety and depth, whereas the UI has some issues, and the management of the music library is a bit tricky.

Supremacy will appeal to fans of the game, offering new maps to suit every type of player and offering a new Zombie map able to bind even the most experienced due to its high rate of challenge.

Arc System reported the Guilty Gear homes in style, with a gigantic title not only in terms of gameplay, but also in terms of graphics and content.

Massive Chalice has kept all the promises made during its campaign on Kickstarter, becoming an interesting and rich in ideas RPG that would be worthwhile to replay in the future.

Hatred is a mediocre twin stick shooter, a miserable attempt to shock the audience with violence that turns out to be a major failure.

If you liked Magicka, you'll also appreciate this sequel, but if you hoped for Magicka 2 as a game with many new features you will be a bit disappointed. Even so Magicka 2 is still a funny game and improves those flaws found in the predecessor.

A nice little real time strategy game, that walks in the same boots of its predecessor (which was considerably longer), except for adding more humour, more difficult final stages and brighter graphics. Pity, then, that's a little expensive for what it offers.

Even after the necessary adjustments it remains the least responsive version of this game, a situation quite unjustifiable, probably due to the inexperience of Other Ocean.

The return of the "kill all the pedestrians" series remains almost unaltered in its the original formula, extending it with new game modes and not disappointing those who expect tons of destruction and crazy power-ups. On the other side the effort to recover the magic of the past must face a technological deficit and an awful optimization.

The Elder Scrolls Online is a solid MMORPG, with content for hundreds of hours and playable with no monthly fees. Ultimately, this Tamriel Unlimited confirms to be the best edition for those who want to delve into the fantasy world created by Bethesda twenty years ago.

The creator of this game claims he was inspired by Stephen King's The Dark Tower, but the references to the work of King are so weak as to be almost negligible.

The boss fights and the variety of situations are not enough to plug the redundancy of the game mechanics. This game needed ideas of a completely different caliber.

We like arcade games, and Sparkle Unleashed could have been included in this category, except that it is a bad way of understanding the concept, with poor graphics quality and a simplified gameplay.

Not a Hero is a fun game, with a surprisingly solid gameplay despite the relative simplicity of the concept. The story, though framed by a true concentrate of action, gave us some hilarious moments, and the madness of the developers has been poured on Bunnylord and other characters that populate this title.

What came out on the market is undoubtedly a DLC of great quality that far exceeds its predecessor and will give the hardcore fans hours of entertainment and rekindle the fire of enthusiasm that went dying.

Sons of Winter is an episode with more lights than shadows but without anything really noteworthy, although if you're a fan of the series you’ll appreciate Asher’ narrative, Myra’s loneliness and Rodrik’s suffering.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III is not the conclusion that the saga deserved; it is too simplified in some of its aspects, it is short, it is impossible to import your previous character, and it has technical issues. The gameplay is still valid and entertaining, but lies under this huge list of problems.

Infinity Runner is a failure from every point of view. Born as a PC game and also available on PS4, it hasn't definitely found its place in the market.

For all its giving no directions to the player, Elliot Quest will be loved much more by long time fans of the genre. Nonetheless, it's a fun and quirky addition to the WiiU library of indie games.

Perils of Man is an adventure game that will involve you with its well-structured narrative and its characters, but it will not give you the same sensations of the great old masterpieces.

Shovel Knight on Xbox One keeps everything that worked so well in all of the other versions, adding a crisp resolution and, most importantly, the Battletoads stage. More than enough to deserve a download.

A good point and click game, with a rather traditional gameplay, and a sufficient difficulty. Anyway, the narrative side is the best part of the game, with a well-written story.

Uncanny Valley is a survival horror that delivers tension and a story-driven experience. On the other hand the title is short, it has some technical issues, and the way it tells you the story is a bit confusing.

Block N Load deserves an high score for the original mix of elements that offers between team-based shooter, blocks building, a bit 'of tower defense and a bit of strategy, although we'd expect more maps, more classes and more weapons.

The publication of Music On Electric Guitar without any addition to what had already been unsuccessful a few years ago on DSiWare is, frankly, incomprehensible.

Invisible, Inc. is a really interesting and well done turn-based isometric stealth game. The difficulty curve is managed in an exemplary way and gameplay allows you to manage the missions with great freedom of action and approaches.

Long story short: if you can count on four friends to play online, then Bloodsports.TV can be considered as an entertaining game. Otherwise, if you can’t manage to find other players online to play, the game will deliver a forgettable experience.

As a debut for Storm in a Teacup, Nero is a partial success that you should try. While not free from defects and with puzzles that, in many cases, leave something to be desired in terms of originality and variation, the touching story told by Nero has been able to excite us in many moments.

A strategic game pointing more about amarcord rather than on its effective qualities, much more limited than the amount of feature would initially suggest. A varied product but, definitively not exciting.

Home is Where One Starts... is a beautiful story about lost childhood, rural America's broken home and the importance of memory. But is also another good example of what ambient narrative can do.

This edition for PS4 does justice to what has been Final Fantasy X, remembered by many as the last of the classic Final Fantasy. There aren't real reasons to think about an upgrade from the PS3 or PS Vita version, but this edition is undoubtedly the best among the three.

Brawl corrects many of the serious problems that plagued its predecessor, but unfortunately it keeps other, compromising some of what could have been a total redemption in the eyes of the public.

Guns, Gore & Cannoli is a fresh 2D side scrolling action that knows how to entertain with his good variety and gameplay, similar to that of immortal classic like Metal Slug.

Metal Slug Defense is the classic cute and flirty game ruined by a really sneaky in-app-purchase system, made even more unpleasant than the previous mobile version of the game.

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.

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a production that should be rewarded. It is undoubtedly more of the same, but given the quality of the original game it would be silly to miss a new adventure of this magnitude, considering the rather low price.

Crypt of the Necrodancer is a very original and very funny game that kept us glued to the screen for several hours and that lends itself well to be played and replayed, even for short sessions.

If you like Zelda, Metroid or platform games, then probably you will love Finding Teddy 2, despite a very long and slow start, and the lack of explanations and indications throughout the entire game.

Thanks to the presence of a fun career mode and a quantity and quality of content quite good, the game turned out to be just perfect for single player. If 100 octane gasoline runs through your veins, this is your game of 2015.

State of Decay, in this Year One Edition, has confirmed to be a good title for all fans of the survival genre, with a constant struggle against the zombies that will never let a moment of respite, constantly forcing us to seek new resources to survive.

Dungeons 2 is a most successful RTS/management game than its lackluster predecessor, but is not yet able to approach to the same levels of Dungeon Keeper (and after all it was obvious). This Realmforge Studios hybrid works in the management part (funny and quite deep), but loses points when it tries to be Warcraft III and offers too simplistic RTS sections with little personality.

Ask yourself a question: "Am I ready to blow my mind in order to achieve sixteen micro-endings?" If you answer is "Yes", and you feel an everlasting love for puzzles, then you can consider the idea of buying Please Don't Touch Anything. Otherwise, you should consider other alternatives.

Magicka Wizard Wars is a free to play title that manages to amuse and entertain. It is not easy to be able to use all the spells right now, and this could be an obstacle for the more casual players, sunken among other things by an unstructured matchmaking.

Easy to learn, hard to master, incredibly addictive, and most importantly, mocrotransactions-free: this is, in a nutshell, Puzzle & Dragons Z + Super Mario Bros. Edition for 3DS. A unique blend of puzzle and RPG that will keep you busy for at least thirty hours.

Codename Steam is a great debut for a franchise with a lot of potential, that is worthy of sitting next to the best in the genre, such as Fire Emblem and Advance Wars. The campaign is meaty, the gameplay works well and the cheesy overall tone is perfect for the comic book/Saturday morning cartoon vibe.

Trapped Dead: Lockdown is a hack'n'slash with good and bad points, in almost equal measure. We've appreciated its atmosphere taken from horror z-movies, the variety of characters, the discreet loot and the co-op online, if you ever manage to find mates to play with.

With its first act, Broken Age had made us fall in love again with the old fashioned adventure games, but Schafer and his team have not been able to ride the wave all the way and have fallen right in the end. The second half of this anticipated title is unable to maintain the level of its introductory phase, and goes to ruin a product that perhaps, with a little more courage, would have had the potential to be truly memorable.

We could not expect a better PC port PC for Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar North, offers right from day one a huge game in optimized, widely scalable, and high impact graphics and the video editor, although not so easy to use, is an enjoyable addition.

Azure Striker Gunvolt is a delicious appetizer while waiting for the main dish, represented by Mighty No. 9, but the taste would have been much better if the enemy design wasn't so weak and if more levels were included.

The greatest sin of Assassin's Creed: China could be found in coming after the excellent Klei's Mark of the Ninja. As a whole, the work of Ubisoft is less satisfying and original, with a worse game design and narrative. Nevertheless, it is quite entertaining.

If you are looking for a third person action-adventure with beautiful settings, an original gameplay, a great attention to physics, many powers and elemental spells, Son of Nor could be a good choice. Not everything is successful, but as debut game Stillalive Studios did not disappoint.

A city builder with small maps and a limited number of buildings that manages to be a great game thanks to the extraordinary balance of all its elements required to make big settlements: basically has everything a game of this kind must have, and also something more.

Without too much risk, this new chapter featuring the most famous chef on 3DS does not make sensible improvements and proposes that same recipe that has enchanted hundreds of thousands of gamers. Despite this, the award-winning formula is starting to feel a bit tired.

Tower of Guns is an old style FPS based on speed, jumps, reflexes and difficulty. With only one life available and the impressive quantity of enemies and bullets, the frustration is often around the corner, but thanks to the numerous upgrades and power-ups, the game never becomes impossible (just a bit confusing).

Gear Up is a funny game, with some problems with controls (using both keyboard or pad), useful to entertain groups of friends without any need to have high-performing PCs, starting maybe with the free-to-play version and decide later if basic or premium pack are worth it.

Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries looks like a rushed game that lacks of ambition. From the underdeveloped combat system to the hasty story, everything is a big disappointment.

The game fails to show its beauty from the small screen of the GamePad, forcing the player in the role of Kirby to lose part of an otherwise fascinating game. A partial success, then, that it stands on its own due to the increasingly high quality and cleanliness of Nintendo's games.

A well dropped strategic with original but extremely peculiar ideas, best suited to all the fans of chess and board games rather than those of turn-based games.

Infinite Crisis is a nice MOBA game who can count on the greatest license, with some of the most famous Super Heroes and Villains in the world, despite its gameplay user friendly and so less competitive and tactical. Infinite Crisis isn't the best game ever for competitive players, but it's the best choice for the players who love DC Comic books and now they have a funny way to play their beloved characters.

If you were looking for a game that really offered the unique gameplay Nintendo was promising for its console, then look no further than Affordable Space Adventures, whose blend of puzzle and stealth sequences is as enjoyable as intoxicating. It is over way too soon, but remains a great showcase for the GamePad capabilities.

Gigantic, with a majestic world, a brilliant narrative, great dialogue and characters, The Witcher 3 fails miserably when it comes to pure gameplay. Its simplistic combat system and repetitive quest structure are a monster that even Geralt cannot kill.

Intuitive, faster than in the past and enriched by the brilliant idea of the 3 styles, Mortal Kombat X remains well-anchored to the foundation laid by Netherealm, but manages to improve them and to remain one of the most spectacular and exciting fighting games.

Despite the good graphics, Mortal Kombat X just cannot expose anything that you have not already seen. Compared to the Mobile Version of Injustice, the application further simplifies the basic gameplay, weighing down even more the value of micro transactions, two elements that alone suggest to stay away from this production.

If you're looking for an average to good shooter for your PSVita, and you've already spent a good amount of hours with both Resogun and Sine Mora, then Soldner X2 Final Prototype is the right choice.

Pillars is a great RPG, a rich title featuring a complex gameplay, quests with beautifully written dialogues and with an impressive cure for almost every aspect. If you like the genre, this is a must have.

Titan Souls made us cry, laugh and despair, and we have come out satisfied, especially by observing our colleagues intent to grope in the dark while we were smiling in front of the ending credits.

Inazuma Eleven Go Chrono Stones will entertain all the fans of the series and of Japanese role playing games, even if it will do so thanks to a tried and true formula that keeps repeating itself since some time now.

An unfair business model sucks out all the enjoyment that Pokemon Shuffle can grant if played in very short bursts.

Ori and the Blind Forest is a really enjoyable game to play and to watch, although not free from defects. The combat system is not particularly sought and some levels are frustrating, especially those in the final area.

True to its origins, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number repeats the formula of its predecessor by improving some minor aspects and introducing a great soundtrack, and completing the job with a really effective plot.

OlliOlli 2 Welcome to Olliwood is better than its predecessor in every way, expect for one: the both of them are infuriatingly difficult, and being so, are not exactly the best game to recommend to anyone who has a normal dose of patience.

Cities Skylines is a very good city builder that is even more striking if we think about the really restricted size of developer Colossal Order. The Finnish team has created a complex and varied game, that's also full of possibilities and without the boredom that emerged after only a few hours in Cities XXL.

This second act starts in a spectacular way, and confirms all the positive things we saw in the first episode, all mixed up in roughly 90 minutes of gameplay.

To fully appreciate Type 0 you should not deal with the idea of being in front of a modern Final Fantasy, but in front of a great title for the handheld console cleaned up and filed properly to be offered to fans of the series.

Zombie Army Trilogy is a collection of three standalone expansions of Sniper Elite that finds its true meaning in the online co-op, while in single player the three chapters of this Nazi hell are quiet boring.

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.

Nintendo, instead of developing an experience specifically created for Nintendo Wii U, decided to show in Mario Party 10 the same formulas of the previous titles, finishing inexorably to offer something already seen.

Hazumi is a very basic and very fresh take on the Breakout legacy. it surely doesn't reinvent the wheel in the puzzle game genre, but can be a suitable solution for fans of hardcore games owning a 3DS.

Forward to the Sky is not suffering from huge problems and the puzzle-platform element is not even bad, especially in the fifth level with the rolling boulders. The fighting system, however, is terribly dull and low longevity is another flaw to be considered.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is a testament to the way platform games were made back in the days of GameBoy, with a lot of attention to details and pixel perfect jumps:in 2015 this is still the way to go for 2d games, no matter the platform and the budget.

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is a step backward in this new spin-off series. It has a lot of content, but the episodic nature of the game has contributed some problems to the story and the gameplay, both of which are full of fillers.

Construction Simulator 2015 is a slow-paced game that can still satisfy fans of the genre. It is graphically nice and has a decent variety of vehicles. The whole is topped with a simple economic system and personnel management. Its only problem is due to the enormous quantity of bugs we've found during our test.

On the one hand, if you look for a shooter to play in solitary, you can consider this production completely inadequate. On the opposite side, however, we have a multiplayer that works at times, and in its imperfections and its chaos still managed to entertain.

Mushroom Men: Truffle Trouble is a nice puzzle-platformer, although not very original and marked by a not impeccable controls. The sense of anxiety and urgency given by our monstrous pursuer is a nice idea, but only if you choose the medium difficulty level to not run into a frustrating trial & error.

We feel we can confirm the opinion expressed last year also for this Ultimate Edition of Sniper Elite III: this is the best game currently available about the world of snipers.

The game delivers an original stealth experience with a good narrative, despite some backtracking. If you are looking for a second person adventure, it may be worth a try.

Once again, the extraordinary capacity of Dontnod to tell stories leaves a mark, this time inferring doubts in the mind of the player and unleashing a couple of punches in the stomach that led us to think about our possibly wrong in-game choices.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D is a marvelous port of an awesome JRPG, whose brilliance and ambition overlook the technical compromises: this is, along with Persona 4 The Golden, the very best JRPG that ever graced a handheld console.

The Sword in the Darkness is a good episode thanks to uniformity among the various story lines that had been lacking in The Lost Lords and partly also in the first episode.
