Akane the Kunoichi knows how to celebrate classic games of nes/snes era, but the poorly told story and the clumsy controls make this game forgettable.

Little Clem continues to grow appreciably, even if those around her continues to give her too much weight and too much impact to the decisions of a group that should still be totally independent from the wishes of a child.

Even a lame porting doesn't make the God of War Collection a bad game: it certainly is better on your sofa and your TV, but if you really can't resist without Kratos, this is a suitable solution on the go. Just don't expect the same audio-video fidelity from this version.

Super Time Force is a game that you should definitely add to your collection, especially if you bought an Xbox One at launch and you are now hungry of good games to play.

The Last Tinker is a nice game, it's impressive considered its indie nature, with a great charisma and eager to pay tribute to an era that no longer exists.

Choosing a setting and a period so special for a small project like the one created by Max Games could've been a good idea. Nevertheless, Rot Gut is way too short and empty to be considered a good game.

Mario Golf World Tour is not only the best golf game available on Nintendo 3DS, but also the best game in the long running series since the heights of Mario Golf 64: it is suited to every kind of gamer, and thus it is recommended to everybody who owns the small stereoscopics console.

Eugen System again delivers a really good product: a gorgeous-looking simulative strategic game that embodies the cold war perfectly. The only downside is that it doesn't deliver enough new things for what you pay. Avoid it if you're a newcomer.

Football Manager Classic 2014 is essentially a great game trapped into a cage made by a terrible porting. Loading times are unacceptable and the interface isn't suited for the PSVita hardware. Still, its gameplay can be hypnotic.

Ubisoft has decided to make an experiment, and Child of Light is their first, successful creature. The French developers showed not only knowledge of the basics of the JRPG genre, but also the ability to reshape and merge them into a bewitching and artistically beautiful product.

Despite a refined gameplay, different from the usual and pretty much all based on skill, War of the Vikings can not convince due to several problems, especially in the field of animation and in the server latency.

Hitman Go is a brilliant example of how you have to transpose a famous IP on mobile devices. The gameplay is challenging and intriguing, and graphics are exactly something you can feast your eyes on.

Though it's probably best suited for younger players and for the ones not very good at platformers, Hal Laboratory's last effort is nonetheless an enjoyable ride with one the sweetest Nintendo mascots and an example of how the 3d effect can help the gameplay.

Tsukigime Ranko's Longest Day does not reach the sufficiency, but the package comes with four short movies that reach a real peak of excellence. However, given the quality and the quantity of the release, the launch price seems to be way too expensive.

You can think of Circuits as a good way to relax for a few minutes, perhaps after a particularly hard day. Given the low price offered on multiple platforms, it seems it is just not a bad deal.

Destiny of Spirits ends up being a manifesto of what a free-to-play title should not be: tedious, slow, online-only, and, most of all, not so honest with the players, that are given the choice to wait or to pay.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the latest game developed by Gameloft. The game has good graphics and the gameplay is simple and very fun. However, there are in-app purchases and a few bugs. Moreover, you need a constant internet connection to play.

From Software has learned a lesson from the modders. Dark Souls 2 is the port that had been promised, featuring rich graphics options and well optimized. Hats off.

With Etrian Odyssey Untold Millennium Girl, Atlus showed us all how a remake should be done, cramming a lot of quality content in a tiny cartridge and trying to keep happy both veterans of the franchise and newcomers.

Mechanic Escape is a 2D platform that knows how to tantalize the player with a good level of difficulty. Also, the price is very competitive and the fun is guaranteed.

Fusion is the natural evolution of the brand Trials. New mechanics have been introduced to this chapter: they are not perfect but certainly appreciable, giving us an added value that justifies this new edition.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a title featuring a good graphical style, inspired by the comic books and with extremely simple controls. These, however, turn out to be way too simple, and the gameplay is way too repetitive.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle is a great fighting game, featuring an amazing roster, well-implemented mechanics and the same charm of the fascinating manga by Araki. Its only weaknesses lie in the field of content, which is particularly noticeable in the simplistic story mode.

LEGO The Hobbit, not surprisingly, is yet another good game in the series created by TT Games. Once again, and despite the few innovations, the game was able to conquer our hearts in a few minutes, thanks to its rich contents and great lasting appeal.

Trials Frontier is a great exponent of the genre on the mobile, if not the best. The only limitation is due to the impossibility of playing long session because of some bad choices related to in-app purchases.

Spate narrates of the existential pain of a man who found shelter within the embrace of absynth, neglecting himself and his wife because of his own weakness and incapability towards life. It is the story of a man drowning, a story that you will contemplate through evocative images. If you loved Limbo, Dear Esther or Gone Home, you will definitely love Spate.

Looking for something new or distinctive in Demon Gaze would be a waste of time. Nonetheless, the latest effort from Kadokawa games is a decent dungeon crawler, featuring many dungeons and many more monsters. This could be the first step of a brand new saga.

This game feels like the developers took the mobile version, improved the graphics and removed some contents. Then, they've shamelessly tried to sell it at a higher price.

A nice and immediate dungeon crawler that also proves itself to be a challenging title. Featuring some great ideas and a 16-bit look, this game will please many nostalgics. At the same time, we've already seen this kind of games dozens of times.

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.

This Deluxe Edition feels unnecessary and doesn't add anything really new. Also, the HD treatment is bland and the game works better for portable console. This is simply the worst Arkham game, good only for the blindest Batman fans.

Boom Beach is the latest game developed by Supercell. The app is characterized by good graphics, an intuitive gameplay and an excellent tactical component. However, the environments are repetitive and some game mechanics need to improve.

Royal Revolt II is fun, but not as fun as its predecessor. You can fight against other people and challenge them with your troops, but in order to actually win against the strongest opponents, you need to pay real money. While the game is completely playable totally free of charge, microtransactions are basically everywhere.

King Oddball is certainly a game suitable for mobile phones or tablets. Riding the wave of success of Angry Birds, this game turns out to be a bit out of context on PS4 because of its basic features. Too bad.

Epoch 2 is a good quality on-rail shooter, a honest successor of the first episode, with the same strengths and weaknesses. The visuals are excellent, the gameplay fun until we realize we keep on repeating the same actions.

Football Club is a nice little title, just not deep enough to please Football Manager's fans but recommended for a fast (and rpg-style) romp through the world of football seen from the bench.

Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut is a good space shooter and will appeal those who twenty years ago loved Wing Commander and X-Wing. It certainly does not reach the same quality levels, but the new missions are interesting and the graphics, despite some loss of tone, are not bad at all.

The game fails in almost every aspects: the races are quite boring, the events are utterly repetitive, there is no multiplayer and technical issues are always around the corner. If you want to drive a tractor in a videogame, you can actually find something better than this.

With the exception of some small twists, A Crooked Mile is not convincing and leaves the player unsatisfied for almost the entire duration of the chapter. Only in the final minutes a glimmer of light touches the production, though perhaps too feeble to illuminate the entire series.

A couple of nice touches to the drawn elements of the two games, a few extra costumes, and the opportunity to select the voices in Japanese are not enough to make us cheer for the return of these two titles. At the same time, Tales of Symphonia is still one of the best JRPGs ever made.

Aside from a few fun mechanics introduced by this chapter, there is nothing new here to leave you speechless. At the same time, the perpetual smiles on our faces that this title left us, compels us to recognize its merits.

The possibility to choose between two different protagonists, a complex alchemy system, and the management of the time for the completion of missions, make the work by Gust an experience as unusual as appreciable.

Reaper of Souls is an excellent expansion without a shadow of a doubt. The Act V is perfectly designed and although it doesn't last long, the great replayability of the game makes it just a minor issue.

Not everyone will like the graphics, the absence of a classical narrative, the level design, and many kind of enemies, but if you are looking for a shooter a little different than usual, think about getting it.

The Book of Legends is a classic retro J-RPG that proves itself to be long-lived, solid, interesting, full of things to do and with many characters and secrets to discover. On the other hand, it's a classical formula with very little new stuff. But that's not a big deal.

This game could've been great. Unfortunately, this title by Milestone stumbles in the usual technical problems, headed by a system of collisions due to frequent phenomena of interpenetration polygonal and constant texture pop-ups on the track.

There is really nothing original in this game, but it fulfills its duty to entertain us, make us think and, ultimately, have fun. To put it simple, this game does what every good puzzle-platformer should always do.

With Tiny Brains we face the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: a title featuring some major structural deficiencies, but at the same time a lot of fun if played in the company of one or more friends.

What we have seen so far with Wii Sports Club has positively impressed us. Some of the games are well managed while some aren't, but in general the realization of each sport is qualitatively appreciable.

Dr. Luigi is less entertaining than its predecessor on the Wii. The new game modes are nice but not thrilling, and the multiplayer falls short. At the same time, this is a game that the fan of the series should take into consideration.

We feel sorry to see that a great publisher like Namco Bandai, in possession of a good license such as One Piece, produced such a mediocre title, which will be attractive only to the hardcore fans of the series, and especially the younger among them.

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.

It is not easy to sum up a game like Might & Magic X: Legacy. It is beyond reasonable doubt a game largely based on nostalgia, but at the same time is honest and well made.

Some good ideas are not enough to revive Dragon Ball Z. The combat system is far too simplistic and the mechanics show a lot of problems that make this game mediocre.

Despite a good evolution from the past entry of the series, what FX did is not enough to make this game a real winner. Everything must be improved in order to make it a game able to compete with Football Manager.

Madden NFL 25 is the best American football game on the market. Mainly because it's the one and only. Even with this series EA seems to have fallen asleep, focusing more on the reaffirmation of the good aspects of the past rather than the introduction of something new.

Max The Curse of Brotherhood is a fun and challenging 2.5D platformer that will be able to keep you attached to the pad for its entire duration, despite too many bugs and an unstable framerate.

Nintendo is a master at finding a specific target audience and offer them exactly what they want, sometimes even with a little less quality than usual. Mario Party: Island Tour does just that, speaking to the more casual audience among the owners of Nintendo 3DS.

While extremely repetitive, this game guarantees great immersion thanks to a lot different choices that will have positive or negative outcomes and that will make us real protagonists of this maybe too short adventure.

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.

Whether you are looking for a coaching career or a simply deep experience as a manager with no frills, the latest incarnation of the series created by Sports Interactive will meet once again to your need.

Ethan: Meteor Hunter is an atypical platform game. Mixing a classic platformer with distinctive elements has definitely been a good idea. The game is difficult, but the level design is extremely good and the game worth its small price.

Swap force is a nice game, perfect for the target to which it's addressed, exciting and enjoyable also for those who are already a little older. If you have a child, or a younger brother to share the experience with, this game will be just amazing.

Despite using the overused topic of zombies, everything in the game is targeted toward survival through the skillful use of a good system of loot and crafting. Nevertheless, these two elements are not sufficient to make the title an excellent game, as the title has some technical issues.

Capcom has put together yet another fun and witty game, that makes us use the gray matter and will please children and adults. However, it should also be said that, several years from the first game and with only few changes added from time to time, the series may need something new very soon.

Luftrauser is a great game. Vlambeer create a little gem for the indie market, a perfect mixture of gameplay and style.

One of the most foolish game of the Year. Hilarious and totally crazy, finally something really different and original.

Platformines is a valid cross line between 2D platform and 2D shooter with a retro 16 bit look and sound and with all the advantages and limitations that it entails. The gameplay is fun, the difficulty level is on the high standards and longevity is remarkable, but as hours pass the repetition grows too.

It's difficult to do worse than Pac-Man and the ghostly adventures on Wii U: there's a handful of much better platforms out there, both in 2D and 3D. Imprecise controls and a wacky camera are the main culprits, so that even for your kids or nephews this game is not good enough.

This Edition is probably the best package you can expect from musou genre. Although the game has a lot of contents, the formula is the same, and the technical upgrade is far from the excellence.

Betrayer is certainly an atypical FPS both in visual style and in the environment, both in gameplay that mixes exploration, combat, and search for clues in a particular way.

Nothing more and nothing less than an ordinary jrpg. Really far, in terms of quality and fun, from the latest games created by Nippon Ichi.

Kojima's mastery of the arts is still there, but Ground Zeroes seems to have lost many of the factors that made the Metal Gear series legendary. The technical part is mesmerizing, yet the gameplay lags a bit behind, and, while still fun, we obviously expected something... more. Maybe that will come in Phantom Pain. Maybe.

Spark created a good combat system, then threw it in a blender full of chaos and confusion, ruining most of the experience. When Yaiba works as intended, it's good fun. Unfortunately it mostly doesn't.

Sucker Punch failed to inject some new power in inFamous Second Son. Neat graphics and some beautiful neon effects barely cover a poor combat system. On the other side the game is still fun and with a good longevity so probably old infamous fans will not be disappointed.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD does justice to the original with a high-quality conversion and many extras. The title has aged very well and makes us regret the previous chapters with a gameplay that takes us back more than ten years without ever letting us weigh the time that has passed.

The game does not do anything wrong gameplay-wise, proposing a formula that has not aged and that takes us back in time. We are really happy to see Yoshi and Baby Mario again, but at the same time, we expected a little more.

Few titles have the courage to leave the player's hand and give him a hostile world to explore at will. Dark Souls is still the one that does it best.

Dogs Of War is a game with extremely deep gameplay mechanics, very well balanced maps and good character design. Graphics are pretty bad and music and sound effects are nothing special. Occasional crashes and matchmaking issues compromise the final result.

South Park: The Stick of Truth is the best video game based on a TV series ever made. If you're a fan of this amazing cartoon you will have fun like a kid at Disneyland on his birthday.

Hearthstone is currently the best card game in circulation when you consider its target audience. With easy-to-learn gameplay, this game is still able to provide a lot of satisfaction even to the most experienced players.

An amazing title in terms of gameplay and fun.

When Mercury Steam seemed to be about to produce a new successful title with very little effort, something went wrong and what we've got is not even the shadow of what we've been expecting in all these years. A conclusion that well-deserved another fate.

A fun, accessible class based shooter that's as fun and quirky as its predecessors. It's definitely not the most balanced experience around, but it's fun and deeper than it looks.

A game with a dual nature, one simplistic and a bit too linear, the other way more faithful to the Thiefs of old than we believed this reboot could be. It's a great game and Stealth aficionados will definitely love its gameplay, but it could have been much more with a bit more polish here and there, and a braver approach.

Being a tie-in, and for the younger audience too, Adventure Time is a decent platformer with some degrees of rpg-lite. The lack of voice acting and the shortness of the gaming experience keep it from a better score.

R-Type II is a game developed by DotEmu. The game features a retro graphics and a high level of difficulty, which at times makes the application frustrating. The game features a good longevity and original graphics, all at an affordable price and without in-app purchases.

A point and click game with a quiet and a fun atmosphere, that lacks in depth of gameplay and puzzles. The game's longevity is way too short, offering less than 90 minutes of gameplay.

A great return for Hiryu. Pretty good gameplay with nice metroidvania mechanics make this game simply unmissable. Unfortunately, Strider is little too short and doesn't offer a great replay value.

If a well rounded cast of characters and an ingenious plot is all you ask for when playing a videogame, then Danganronpa has you covered for at least 30 hours. Otherwise, it's a nice but wordy ride through the depths of human behaviour.

An arcade rail shooter without any quality. Simply a really bad game.

Through various levels, the game will be able to entertain us and make us think even for several minutes, leaving a certain degree of freedom of action. The great graphics are part of the experience and portray a world full of pitfalls, although the audio does not deserve the same praise.

Zombeer is a title in which nothing really works, starting from a repetitive gameplay to many tainted choices of game design. Last but not least, the game features a technical component that would've been criticized on the old PlayStation 2.

Paranautical Activity is a game that tries to mix FPS and Rogue-like mechanics. There is a constant support from the developers, and the peculiar random maps give the game a potentially unlimited longevity. If this type of support will be maintained even after the official release, at the launch we will face a quality product that will do nothing but improve with time.

Microsoft seems to have been in a hurry while making this edition, presenting a product that probably deserved more than the 15 months of development declared by Lionhead. The game is partially saved thanks to its contents, based on a game that is simply timeless.

Dustforce is a hard shell platformer that doesn't always give to the player all the necessary tools to beat it, mostly due to some unresponsive controls. If trial and error is your bread and butter, and you're not afraid of frustration, this is the game for you.

It's still a masterful piece, but this DLC never truly hits the spot like the main game's story did. If you crave some more The Last of Us, and want to know Ellie even better though, you won't be disappointed.

A little production that lacks on the narrative side, and with the impossibility to save the game. Anyway, the game can be considered interesting by some gamers that like cryptic and hermetic adventures.
