Sniper Elite 3 is a great title, probably the best in the market for the sniping fans. Unbeaten with regard to the competition, the game still shows several shortcomings, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, exacerbated by open world maps that amplify the problems.

Although we appreciated that frantic action seen in Yo-Kai Watch Blasters, our love for the unique combat system seen in the first two episodes remains unchanged, and we hope to see it return as soon as possible in the franchise. This spin-off is a nice buy for the newcomers, though.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is a female-only beat 'em up, but the results don't work extremely well; special moves are too easy to execute, but SNK Playmore did the right thing by allowing 2-player tag battles.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is like a low budget David Cage game, but with more action. The story unfolds like a real thriller, and Salem is always fascinating. However, gameplay mechanics are underdeveloped and tedious.

WWE 2K18 is not the long awaiting improvement fans have been longing for. Outdated visuals and stale gameplay prevent this game from being recommendable to those who already own one of the recent iterations of the franchise.

Need for Speed: NITRO is not a simulation racer but the controls make you feel like you are driving a fast car. The single player mode has good graphics. Detailed backgrounds, nice polygon models, good texturing and lighting and constant framerate. The game is fun and the one real downside is the fact that there is no online mode.

The new armies are unique and fun to use, and the extra maps seem well balanced, but if you are looking for new single player content or for something to get introduced to the world of Company of Heroes 2, you will find this here. This expansion is recommended only to the experienced players.

Probably the best Move game around. Which isn't saying much unfortunately.

A high quality Picross game that can shine brightly even without original ideas, due to more than enough “truly free” content to satisfy an eager player. Microtransactions are still quite significant though (even if limited), so take that into consideration when you get the game.

The last installment in an evergreen franchise, Pac-Man 256 smartly renews the game's original concept, transforming it into an endless runner arcade for hardcore puzzle game fans. This PC/console porting adds the coop multiplayer mode, an excellent addition to an already addicting game, and a little bit of monotonous gameplay.

Perhaps a more incisive story and a few more hours of gameplay could've really made a difference, making this title one of the best games based on the universe of One Piece. Not so, but at the same time we believe that the series is now on the right track.

Hero of Many lacks of substance and has a very limited gameplay. Often tedious and repetitive, the game cannot count only on its good graphical style and compelling music.

An intriguing post-apocalyptic adventure, Miasma Chronicles is set in a fascinating world, populated by some weird characters. Its combats could be a challenge, with some good tactical ideas, but at the end there are not so many choices to avoid the game over.

Hell Yeah! The wrath of the dead rabbit is a title that strives to be unique, but it does so only in part. The style of the game is definitely catchy, thanks to the irresistible humor and the great audiovisual impact. But if you delete these purely formal aspects, it turns out to be a platform with obvious shortcomings.

A great pc port of a not-so-great jrpg. It’s still a decent experience for fans of the series or the genre though, and the sheer technical value of this version is enough to try it out if you missed it in the past.

Temtem is fun and enjoyable, but it doesn't even try to reinvent the wheel, settling for just being a poke-clone.

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.

A peculiar stealth game of sorts, with a high challenge level even with its simple mechanics. It’s good fun, but it’s partially ruined by some miscalculations in the procedural elements of the maps and an A.I. that doesn’t always work as intended.

Surviving Mars does not speak to the casual gamer, but it's also a good city-builder. Its creators Haemimont Games deeply love science-fiction, and they demonstrated it by giving their game a variety of scenarios together with its citybuilder nature. It deserves time to be appreciated, but seeing your colony become operative is always a satisfaction. Veterans could find a relatively new way to see science-fiction on their genre. Due to rigid gamepad controls, newcomers may consider the PC.

Samurai Warriors 5 is a videogame and a Musou that lives of alternances. A deep story is encapsulated in a radiophonic narrative, a captivating aesthetic pairs with a low poligonal count and a funny and solid fighting system clashes with a gameplay full of repetitiveness. Koei has made an inspired re-immagination of his franchise, but his experiment is only an half success. Not the worst Samurai Warriors ever made, but neither the best.

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.

The Techomancer is a good attempt, but is unable to renew the genre. Because of movements that are too wooden and poor fluidity, the gameplay makes you easily bored and can't amuse as it should do. Mars is made well, it's actually huge, but to be able to visit all of it, you will need plenty of patience.

A pleasant and immediate experience, enjoyable with a VR headset but also in a more traditional way. The game does not deliver a real challenge, but it want to represent a way to relax, and enjoy the beautiful landscapes included in the four levels. If you are looking for a game that reveals itself as frantic and adrenalinic, Lantern is not your pick. However, if you want to explore a pleasant and quiet world, it might be just what you are looking for.

After a long wait, we were expecting something more from Dead State. Yet the game manages to intrigue for its moral aspects, for the pleasure of exploration and for the successful balance between some harsh old-school elements and an apocalyptic world with many resources, which greatly helps to avoid frustration of the very first hours.

Pity about the lack of detail, originality and music. The price is affordable by all and deserves a chance.

Yo-Kai Watch Wibble Wobble is a very nice game for mobile devices from Level 5. It's a free to play but it's not too suffocating, and it has some "hardcore" mechanics that resonates from the main game for Nintendo 3DS.

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.

Puddle is a title with several flaws and some good aspects. The game has an original concept that turns out to be perfect on mobile devices. At the same time, the graphics are mediocre and the price is too high.

Morbid is a nice first attempt at the genre by the poeople at Still Running and a good alternative for who is starving for a new soulslike game, but it can be improved in many areas and it's consistently lacking in originality.

Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager is not anything exceptional, and it has not even a particular depth or complexity, but it will be appreciated also by those who have little experience with the genre.

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.

Unravel Two has a more rich and funny gameplay, but lacks of the sensorial experience of the first chapter.

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.

The Blue Flamingo is a small pearl in the sea of indie games that is slowly yet constantly pouring Steam's servers. It is certainly a niche title that tries to evoke with simple but challenging dynamics some important titles of the past, however, only partially succeeding.

A fast and colourful arcade wrestling game, with a good roster and deep control system; on the other hand, the title is pretty short and too much similar to the previous wrestling games on PSP.

Etherborn is a good puzzle game that plays with the four dimensions, but the story is pointless and sometimes it's hard to read the levels.

You can smash, grab, pull, push and doing some other stuff. Things don't come easy, though: Human: Fall Flat is a challenging game with a difficult system control, something in between Goat Simulator, The Talos Principle and Surgeon Simulator. A game that can be fun and frustrating at the same time.

Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis is a game for those who feel nostalgic towards the classical visual novel adventures; it offers a good story, but it lacks the ambition to offer something new for its genre.

Four guys have given rise to a fascinating and fun project, and with the right push and a greater investment In Space We Brawl could have been able to rise beyond the classic arcade titles seen on PSN and Xbox Live. We just have to cross our fingers and wait for a future update that fills in the gaps of a non existing online multiplayer mode.

Raging Justice is a good brawler that flies on the wings of nostalgia. It doesn't invent new mechanics for the genre, but it is a solid game. The graphics look very bizarre and maybe pre-renderend 3D models are not the right choice for this kind of game.

The Crew 2 has a huge and solid structure, but in terms of quality the game in some elements lacks of detail, especially in the graphics and driving system departments. We hope it has the support of Ubisoft for content to come.

The title developed by the guys at Toylogic combines remarkable qualities and defects which, unfortunately, push it away from a totally positive evaluation. On one hand the game is accessible and fun (at first glance), but on the other, it ends early, it's repetitive and the matches are not always adequately balanced.

Trek to Yomi is a story of loss, honour and revenge. Despite some technical issues and a combat system with unbalanced combos, it's undoubtedly a game suited for all feudal Japan fans.

The same game over and over again, probably the PSP deserved something better.

A hilarious point-and-click adventure, with tons of quotes from movies, tv shows, and games, and funny dialogues. The gameplay is pretty traditional, though even too cruel sometimes. Still, if you want to have some fun playing a decent adventure, this is a good pick.

Firefall probably is the most innovative MMO of the last period, whose indisputable merits are, however, counterbalanced by significant technical gaps as well as a general flatness of end-game contents. Worth much, but it could've been even better.

It doesn’t set new standards for the genre, nor is one of the best classic jrpgs around, but it does its job more than decently, especially if you’re a Digimon fan. The PS4 port could have been way better visually, though.

My Hero One's Justice 2 is a perfect fighting game for the hardcore fans of My Hero Academia.

Teslagrad is a visually gorgeous game, with clever puzzles and an interesting new game plus mode, held back by problematic platforming and difficulty spikes.

Mechs, tons of missiles and a good level of difficulty, make Strike Suit Zero a game that should be played by space shooter fans. Unfortunately it have some technical issues and bad controls too.

Fourteen years after the original release—and one year after its first reissue—Sonic x Shadow Generations remains an excellent video game that deserves to be discovered or rediscovered. The Nintendo Switch 2 version delivers a genuine technical upgrade, albeit with a few compromises. However, the lack of a free or discounted upgrade for owners of the 2024 version is hard to justify, especially given the complete absence of new content. If this is your first time playing it, consider yourself lucky: you’re about to experience one of the best Sonic games ever made.

It’s not an amazing adventure game, but it’s not even the horrible misstep that some were expecting. It’s a decent kid-oriented game, with more puzzles and interactivity than usual for a Telltale game, and some genuinely fun moments. Let’s see where this goes.

Irem Collection Vol. 1 includes three classic shoot'em ups for hardcore gamers, now with online leaderboards and global rankings. No other major efforts detected.

Dragon Quest Monster The Dark Prince does very little to differentiate itself from the great number of similar games on the market, and still does everything right if you look at its bestiary and its gameplay loop. Therefore, it can be recommended to anyone looking for a good (but no great) monster catching RPG.

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.

Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre is fun and replayable. Overall quality is good, but it lacks in innovations and online functions. A good game, but not perfect. Any Wii owner should consider this game: it could be a surprise or a delusion at the same time.

Looking at the name of the developers, of the person in charge for the soundtrack and of the games from which Exist Archive draws inspiration, it's hard not to be disappointed because this is just a "good" game and nothing more. The combat system is frantic and well done, but the bland level design and the repetitiveness both drag down the final result.

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.

Interacting with your monkey-cat in the virtual mirror of your television can be really funny. Sadly the title suffers from some interface issues, the Playstation Eye just isn't as fast and responsive as it should be for some parts of the game, but this is balanced by the great drawing sessions. Eye Pet is a perfect game for kids and a funny application for people above 13 that will enjoy it for a while.

It’s an interesting take on the usual “walking simulator” and a dividing experience that many will appreciate. The art direction is great, as are most of the dialogues between the characters, and yet the closure of the story isn’t fully satisfying. It could have been... more.

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.

World War 3 is an intriguing alternative to some well-known multiplayer FPSs.

Old players who have grown up with the first two episodes of the Suikoden franchise and backers of the Kickstarter campaign will be the most pleased by Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, and old school JRPG through and through. Divisive game design choices aside, what we have here is a solid effort, but also one that looks too much to the past and much less to the future of the genre.

In Other Waters is a pretty unique experience, characterized by an amazingly crafted art direction, but plagued by some flaws in the gameplay flow. We recommend playing it on your TV, because in handheld mode the UI and the text size can become pretty painful.

You could consider it as slightly more than a 3DS tech demo, perfect for the launch of the new hardware, but in need of way ore content to fully satisfy the player.

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.

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.

Payday 2 on Nintendo Switch will not revolutionize the genre, but it's a very good porting, except for some technical issues and no voice chat at launch. An enjoyable cooperative FPS, so far.

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.

Viking Squad is a good beat-em-up. It delivers a genuine fun experience with the rail map construction, which is a brilliant and weird idea.

The Saboteur delivers some good fun with the atmosphere of its beautiful setting. On the other hand, gameplay could disappoint demanding players, used to higher quality productions. If you like free roaming and Paris, you should at least give it a try.

Invincible VS is a fighting game that works in the short term, thanks to an accessible system and a strong identity inherited from the series, but that struggles to find a true direction in the medium term. The simplification of gameplay, a negligible story mode and an inconsistent technical execution limit a project that could have aimed for much more. It remains an enjoyable title in the first few hours, but one that risks losing its appeal quickly, especially in an already crowded competitive landscape.

It may seem a bad clone of Gunpoint, but it's not, it's way more focused on the fighting aspect, and uses it's mechanics in pretty interesting ways. The lack of variety is basically its main problem, but it remains a decent game.

Pirate Warriors 4 is a rich experience for One Piece's fans, but it doesn't even want to try to come up with something new for the musou genre.

Plug Me is funny, entertaining and had good gameplay mechanics. with only 3 euros you can buy a solid indie game.

For Dead Rising's last chapter we would have expected a higher challenge level, however this problem doesn't affect the basic gameplay completely, due to the good amount of new weapons that still brings a lot o fun.

PUBG 1.0 might have been released a bit too early and this choice hasn’t paid off when it comes to optimization. Regardless, for what matters (content), this release has a more mature structure that the developers will be able to enrich from time to time thanks to the events and the live component.

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce is a good attempt to innovate with the franchise, introducing some RPG elements and, with a more flexible action component, the experience offered is quite new. The good multiplayer mode helps in the longevity department. Unfortunately the badly calibrated difficulty level makes the game more oriented to be played in cooperative mode, leaving the singleplayer disadvantaged.

Deadpool is fun and crazy, you simply can’t stop laughing.

Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX will be a joy for more nostalgic players, but it's unlikely that it will manage to captivate a wider audience.

Knockout City is a fun gameplay experience, but how (and if) it will find a long lasting place in the crowded games as a service market is yet to be seen.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is like a tie-in of 15 year ago with corridors, forced paths to follow and little arenas in which you must fight enemies in the same way. Marvel's fan will adore references, easter eggs and cameos, but it's not enough to make this project shine like a new star in the galaxy.

An intriguing plot, fascinating characters and even a psychedelic trip within your own mind, characterize an expansion perhaps weak in terms of content, such as weapons and armor, but very enjoyable.

Call of Duty Classic is recommended to all who love the series and they want to know its roots. Good gameplay mechanics and an engaging story make this game still enjoyable in 2009.

The game features new interesting ideas, but unfortunately they haven't been developed in a good way.

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.

Simply put, Armageddon doesn't deliver the same spectacular, over the top entertainment of its predecessor. The free roaming, completely stripped from this sequel, was clearly and important piece of the puzzle. As a simple third person shooter, the game doesn't work that well anymore, and you'll surely find much better products in the same genre.

The Dishwasher Dead Samurai has a great design, unique style and funny gameplay, but it lacks in detail quality. After few hours of gameplay you could get bored because of its repetitive mechanics, and a too-short story mode. Online Multiplayer is too far, in terms of functionality, from Castle Crashers; so consider the game only if you want to play in single or in local, trying to get better scores everyday.

Unlike the previous chapters, Watch Dogs Legion has a strong identity and some bold takes on the action adventure genre, on top of an inspired setting. However, it still suffers the usual Ubisoft open world's troubled progression and meaningful narrative.

An interesting JRPG-like that uses word instead of fighting. It's definitely fun and original, even without ever really hitting the right spot. With a deeper system it could have been great.

This action puzzler, now avaiable on Nintendo Switch console, is the same - funny - title released on other platforms some months ago. Very good, indeed.

FOTONICA is a one-button endless runner that knows how to hypnotize the player with its wonderful trance music and well-implemented vectorial graphics.

Similarly to Code Vein, Scarlet Nexus offers a compelling universe, a smart gameplay and a fascinating art direction, but is limited by asset recycling when it comes to enemies and locations, a confusing plot and little side content. Bandai Namco is off to a good start with new IP, but needs to improve under these production areas.

Islands of Wakfu features a good variety in gameplay with some exploration, fast combat and lot of puzzles to solve, but each of these individual aspects has some flaws that disrupt the final result.

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.

Simply put, Armageddon doesn't deliver the same spectacular, over the top entertainment of its predecessor. The free roaming, completely stripped from this sequel, was clearly and important piece of the puzzle. As a simple third person shooter, the game doesn't work that well anymore, and you'll surely find much better products in the same genre.

Rise of the Ronin brings the typical game structure of Nioh into a barren open world full of boring fetch quests and repetitive missions. The combat system is once again top notch, but the overall quality of the game certifies a step backward for Team Ninja.

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.
