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.

Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and The Blade of Light is a hard pill to swallow for all the recent fans, as its gameplay and graphics haven't aged that well. But it's also a great return to the past for old time fans, and for just five bucks.

Strong on nostalgia and challenge, Odallus is a title that will obviously be appreciated by those who loved the NES era, and enjoy technical gameplay and inspired pixel art.

The long delay in reaching EU territories should have been spent by Level-5 to smooth the many edges of their production. Unfortunately this has not happened and the result is a pleasant JRPG, but far from the quality that Japanese developers have us accustomed to.

It's both a light and funny action game and a wasted chance to make something more due to an overall unpolished job. Strongly consider it if you love Ultramarines though, since they get a great depiction.

Minecraft Dungeons is a fresh and fast-paced dungeon crawler experience, even though a little too tiny to appeal on the long run.

It's both a light and funny action game and a wasted chance to make something more due to an overall unpolished job. Strongly consider it if you love Ultramarines though, since they get a great depiction.

It has everything the HD console version had, in terms of pros and cons. If you like the genre, you won't be disappointed.

Solid, fun, free and cross-buy. There's really no reason not to download Zen Pinball 2 on PS4. The table included free - Sorcerer's Lair - is of excellent quality and will entertain a lot. If you have some friends to share the charts, in addition, the value of this product rises dramatically.

The Outlast Trials isn't a bad game, thanks to a dose of blood and violence. The emphasis is placed on the multiplayer experience, who undermines the enjoyment for players accustomed to solo playthroughs.

Hot Shots on PS5 takes the safest route, and it does so with dignity. Yet it also leaves the suspicion that the less safe path—the one of risk—was the only truly necessary one to restore the series to the freshness it deserves.

A classical, quite short but humorous point and click game, which exploits the topic of time travels to set up some funny jokes and clever puzzles.

Lego characters and some great songs don't guarantee a new feeling to a brand that is becoming old.

It's most suitable for newbies, as the veterans will miss all the advanced options. The first will anyway find some good fun in this lighter version of the historic RTS.

The choice to start from scratch was a winning one. The wii version of Tanner's adventures isn't a mere porting, but an entirely new experience. A shame though for the overall unpolished gameplay.

Darwin’s Paradox! is an interesting and entertaining experiment that would deserve a sequel, provided it brings not only the core idea, but also enough (and substantial) variety to support it. It’s a game that, despite having a strong and in some ways innovative concept, never truly chooses to take risks, settling instead for delivering a well-executed experience—albeit one that is too short and often repetitive.

Pokémon Quest is a funny adventure, without excessive pretensions, with new features from the point of view of the gameplay that fascinate: changing the capture system with a cooking system and recipe preparation is interesting, however slow. Free-to-start is not excessively burdened by purchases. However, it remains an adventure from a mere pastime and nothing more.

One of the best on-rail shooters around, with all its limitations, in shiny HD. If you love the genre get it, it's one of the few good reasons to own a Playstation Move after all.

Virtua Tennis 2009 is a game dedicated to the fans of the series and more in general a good, arcade tennis game. If you already own the third chapter, you should think carefully before buying, anyway, as, even if it's the best of the brand, it doesn't evolve so much from the predecessor.

Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is a small step back for a series that has so far always enjoyed those who want a light and fun game.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is divided into two souls, which both have a fundamental weight: the first is the indisputable value of the works it includes, which in many aspects are still unmatched and unmissable for understanding the communicative power of the video game. On the other side of the coin, and absolutely not up to par, we find the work of re-proposal carried out for this box set, which is limited to the homework, almost as if having to start these games was a nuisance to be done as soon as possible and with minimal effort. The result is a collection that winks at those who already loved Metal Gear Solid, which is unlikely to be able to make new fans discover the saga because it makes no effort in that direction, partially embellished with bonuses that are however forgettable. If this is the modus operandi envisaged for future box sets, including prices, things could get thornier, because - perhaps beyond Metal Gear Solid 4, still confined to PS3 - neither the excellent Peace Walker nor MGSV enjoy the driving force of the extraordinary original trilogy. And if it is true that you can never say goodbye to yesterday , and Konami knows this very well, in this case it would be difficult to think that the best is yet to come.

Joe Danger Infinity is a fun challenge and is full of unlockable content, but it's very similar to Joe Danger Touch. So, if you already bought the previous episode, you should know that you will find nothing more than new characters and vehicles in this new episode.

We had approached the title with very low expectations, but seeing it break up our initial preconceptions just before falling miserably due to a horrible ending, a limited duration and some choices of game design that are anything that brilliant, it was very painful.

Pepper Grinder is a side-scrolling platformer with a good pace and solid platforming mechanics, but it's marred by some questionable action choices that prevent the title from shining as much as it should. This is particularly regrettable in the case of the boss battles, which, despite featuring beautiful designs, offer unsatisfying gameplay, as does the overall duration of the adventure.

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.

Pro Cycling Manager 2012 offers some tangible innovations if you look at the managerial side. The simulation is improved as well, but the technical side is the same of the previous edition.

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.

The Hunter & The Beast is the last DLC for Total War: Warhammer II. It adds new factions, units and mechanics, but there are some missing points for the new campaigns.

It's a pity that Thunder Lotus Games didn't get the chance to work on those aspects that keep Jotun from excellence, such as too much trial and error and boring exploration, because the art style and the fights with the titular giants would deserve a better vote. The unlockable Valhalla Mode is a welcome addition but it's not enough to recommend this game wholeheartedly.

Just Dance 2022 has worked really hard to add several fun choreographies and a rich and varied song selection: these efforts will certainly be appreciated by the long-time fans of the series.

Warriors All-Stars is a dress rehearsal. It's a great party with many special guests, waiting for the upcoming Dynasty Warriors 9. It maintains the funny and the canonical gameplay of the series, and it also features good ideas that try to deep the experience, in a manner similar to RPG. Is it is now, the game is a very good example of fanservice, but it also may represent a good starting point for newcomers.

The Berlin Apartment is not an anthology. It is not a collection of stories. It is a single story told by those who remain. By those who silently observe every departure and every return. And that someone is us. The game doesn’t put us in the protagonists’ shoes. It puts us in the shoes of the home they inhabit, carrying the full weight of a century of history.

Milestone brings back the real MOTO GP experience, unfortunately with many technical issues.

Although there are far better choices in the ever-growing Switch library, Aggelos is a love letter to action platformers of the eighties and early nineties that will make people in their thirties smile.

Among Ashes is one of those indie titles that should be celebrated for its great ability to break out of the box through brilliant narrative and game design solutions. However, it has to curb its ambitions because of so many technical problems due to its low budget.

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.

There's a new big case to solve in Baker Street, with so many puzzles but a lot of boring action sequences. A missed opportunity to create the best Sherlock Holmes game, despite the open world feature.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum'n'Fun is a fine rhythm game, graced by a rich tracklist but held back by a lack of game modes and inconsistent motion controls.

Elite Dangerous: Horizons is a no-brainer for everyone who loves space and simulations, but, at the moment, it is a better option for the new players than it is for the ones who already own the base game. Some months of free updates and patches should do, but now planetary landings are not enough, considering the price tag.

Despite its age, Pimkin delivers an immersive experience. Technically is surely getting old, but style and playability make it great on Wii. This is your chance to add 10 years of Nintendo's history to your collection: think about it.

A good step in the right direction for the series and definitely a more accessible game than its direct rival, but there's still a lot to be done to reach those levels.

Guitar Hero franchise is known for this concept and band Hero is a spin-off no different. This is a game you can take to parties and everyone can join in no matter how much experience they have. Pop music is nice but rock is better and developers have now shown that they have run out of ideas.

A suggested short story that speaks of loneliness, desperation, and a world that has to fight against two inexorable enemies: nature and human kind. If you look at the gameplay, there's not such a great challenge, but, on the other hand, you may find dramatic and deep storytelling.

The third installment in the Pokémon Ranger saga does not appear as the revolution we hoped.

Look beyond the name and you will find a pleasant roguelike, with a casual flair and a complex gameplay. Attention, though: sometimes the procedural nature can bring an unbalanced level of difficulty.

A good remastering of a game belonging to a genre of the past.

Saturnalia is one of a kind game, a roguelite survival horror that mixes Sardinian floklore with a commendable visual art style.

Home Sweet Home is a good survival horror game that mixes hide & seek and stealth gameplay with thai folklore. Too bad for the cut ending that forces players to wait for the next game.

It's hard, very hard, EXTREMELY hard, so much we recommend it only to hardcore rogue-like fans. Still, if you are that kind of player, and start the game prepared for a lot of suffering, there's much fun to be had in this little strategy game with a Mad Max vibe.

An original and experimental game, that delivers a truly emotional experience. On the other hand, it suffers from a repetitive gameplay and a of general lack of indications, which can be frustrating.

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.

Atelier Sophie is the perfect definition of an atypic JRPG, with a strong Japanese art style, a narration full of dialogues, a limited battle-system and a linear development of the characters.

Trinity Souls of Zill O'll has some strong combat mechanics and a decent story, but it's not a game for everyone because of the slow pace and overall lack of variety.

One Piece Pirate Warriors 2 removes all quick time events and platform sections of the first episode to offer a more Dynasty Warriors oriented game. It’s a good game if you’re One Piece fans, but it shows all the limits of the musou genre.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney is still a great game eleven years after its original release. This porting, however, feels incredibly lazy due to the little difference in comparison to the original release. This, along with the questionable price tag, makes this remastered not so easy to recommend.

Extinction is solely based on a good idea, but fails to entertain due to the game structure and the algorithms for procedural content generation. The story is poorly narrated and feels out of focus during the missions.

An interesting strategic game that delves deep in the Great War and its senseless fights.

With ScreamRide it's fun from the first minute with this formula of exaggerations, laughter, destruction and crazy speeds. The three main modes are quite bizarre but fun, at least for a few hours; then begins to glimpse a bit of repetitiveness that can be partially avoided thanks to the excellent editor.

Even though it can alienate longtime fans, the removal of the time management mechanic gives Atelier Shallie Alchemists of the Dusk Sea much more room to breathe, welcoming newcomers and pleasing the ones who like to take their time.

DC Universe Online is a good game, one that can appeal to both MMO and comic fans. On Consoles there's nothing better, and if you plan on playing it on a Ps3 it's well worth the monthly fee. Not so much on PC's though, where there's a lot of strong competitors, and Sony's title is a bit too repetitive and bugged to come out on top. Still, it's the best superhero themed MMO on the market and it has a lot of potential. If you love comics give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Just Dance 2026 Edition confirms Ubisoft’s artistic talent but also the franchise’s stagnation. The experience remains solid and fun, with a varied tracklist and well-crafted choreographies, yet it’s essentially the same game as last year, updated with only a few minor additions like the Party Mode. The “hub” model could have breathed new life into the series, but as it stands, it feels more like a way to sell a full-priced DLC. The king of dance is still on the floor—but he’s just dancing in place.

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.

How to Survive 2 is a rather fun game, especially in co-op. However, the game is based on some heavy grinding mechanics, and it requires some patience. If you have some friends who want to smash zombies, though, it may be a decent experience.

Going beyond the minimalist technical sector, this is an absolute deep wargame despite the extremely simple gameplay. It's all about the ideas that underlie it, that as in the best milestones pass over all the rest to give a deep and original product like few others.

DC Universe Online is a good game, one that can appeal to both MMO and comic fans. On Consoles there's nothing better, and if you plan on playing it on a Ps3 it's well worth the monthly fee. Not so much on PC's though, where there's a lot of strong competitors, and Sony's title is a bit too repetitive and bugged to come out on top. Still, it's the best superhero themed MMO on the market and it has a lot of potential. If you love comics give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Hawken is a good multiplayer game with its strength in balancing. Although it's free we don't stand in front of the annoying pair F2P / Pay to Win. The game has some technical issues, a frame rate too far from being stable, but the great job done with the gameplay will make you get over those pains. Considering the F2P nature of the product, we really hope in future upgrades of the game- hopefully resolving some netcode problems - that now is quite poor in terms of contents. However if you are a mech-fighting fan and you are looking for a good multiplayer game that could entertain you should, without pretending too much, definitely give the Reloaded Games product a try.

Episode 2 has some good design choices and more balance, with a story that finally unfolds. Moira is the worst character, while Natalia is really interesting and seems to be tied directly to the main plot.

Pokemon Unite is genuinely fun with its layered gameplay, but we don't really like how the game is monetized.

Silver Lining is not the best finale that we all expected. Silver Sable is a good character, Hammerhead remains awful, Watanabe has disappeared. Two hours of gameplay are not sufficient to explain everything, and the results are visible by everyone.

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.

Broken Porcelain is good at telling a story, and creating a world filled with horror things. However, the handling feel of this sequel is not satisfactory enough.

Star Wars fans will love this, but don't expect anything innovative for VR games in this one.

Romancing SaGa 2 makes its debut in EU after the '93 release with new HD graphics, but the port is the same we saw on mobile devices.

Dragon Ball Fusions is one of those licensed games that will make the hardcore fans happy, but, ultimately, won't impress anyone who is not in love with the characters and the lore of the franchise. Ganbarion's last effort is a solid and fun turn-based catch'em'all RPG, but the 3DS has seen far better titles in both of these categories.

A title not only recommended if you are fan of the world of The Witcher, but also if that's your genre, given the interesting new mechanics this game is carrying. Give it at least a possibility.

Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland doesn't even try to change the Atelier formula, only adding some new elements to the gameplay that benefit the overall experience but still fail to bring something really new to the table.

Haven has a good premise and a touch of freshness as it strives to convey humanity, even though most of its mechanics and plot deserved more depth.

A simulator built with an excellent accessibility and all the trappings, ready to offer realism and rewarding challenges to all those fans who will be willing to spend a fortune to buy the infinite plethora of DLCs that represents the only barrier to thousands of miles of fun.

The Council: The Mad Ones is a good start. Adding RPG elements in a classic adventure game is a very good idea, but there's something wrong in the reactions. Also, the graphics are outdated.

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.

It uses the gamepad in smart and useful ways, but its a bit too slow and japanese-culture-oriented in its themes to be really scary. Mind you, some sequences are truly unsettling... unfortunately the repetitive gameplay and technical limitations make it a game developed only for true fans of the series.

Tales of Graces F Remastered is a game that might leave you somewhat indifferent if you look only and exclusively at the graphics. However, the numerous internal improvements, the novel options and the smoothing out of the edges typical of jrpg's of the old era, may bring a new audience to the saga or attract all those who for some reason skipped over this good and perhaps under-celebrated chapter.

Snake Pass lets you play as snake in a colored but uncompromising 3D world where you need to slither, climb and be curious. Despite its childish and lovely graphics, the game feels demanding and the camera system will make you mad, so buy it only if you are patient.

Promenade is a 2D platformer with puzzle game elements that offers a unique and fun gaming experience. Set in a fairy-tale-like environment with lovely artistic features, the game successfully captures a child's sense of wonder as they discover the world. Featuring a extensive array of puzzles, mini-games with a nostalgic '80s style, and uniquely beautiful landscapes, Holy Cap's creation delivers an engaging and stimulating gameplay.

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.

The Switch version of Pirate Warriors 3 may not be the most detailed graphic version out there, but the developers put a considerable amount of work to guarantee the same experience for Nintendo users.

These visual novel are both a relic of the past, and not the ideal entry point for newcomers of the genre, but are still dark and fascinating trips in the beginning of Suda 51's acclaimed career.

Just Dance 2024 Edition is just a content update of the previous title, which means it's exactly the same game, without many new things that can even be discussed about. But for those who want to "Just Dance", maybe that's just what they want.

Battleforge succeeds in reproducing the spirit of the classic card trading games in a modern Real Time Strategy fashion.

With Blue Reflection: Second Light, Gust has chosen to expand and to revolutionize the good features of the first chapter, showing to strongly believe in this franchise.

Metroid Prime: Federation Force is an ambitious production. It's a solid and fun co-op FPS, but is shamelessly multiplayer-oriented. Is it a true Metroid? We're not sure.

Lego Worlds is a colorful and lively sandbox, but with too many technical problems and with cumbersome gameplay.

The Night of the Rabbit is a good Graphical Adventure game: graphically inspired and with an important soundtrack... but it's far from the milestones of the genre due to the slow narration, the lengthy dialogues, and some inevitable bugs. It even lacks in terms of localization for many countries.

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.

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.

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.

Miitopia is a simple yet appealing JRPG, especially for those who fell in love with the craziness of Tomodachi Life. Just don't expect a full scale, ambitious JRPG because you won't find it here.

Same formula as ever: 4 new maps with and a new location for the zombie mode.
