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.

Focus Home Interactive and Frogwares want to offer something original, but unfortunately The Testament of Sherlock Holmes is afflicted by a variety of technical issues.

The game cannot stand on its legs, and in two, at most three hours, the risk of having already done and seen everything is really high. There are different endings, but we doubt that anyone would wanna take up the game once finished.

A gorgeous world and wonderful creatures can't save Robinson: The Journey from its two main flaws: intolerable motion-sickness and lackluster gameplay.

Microsoft Flight, despite being a free to play game, has a low amount of content, which will hopefully come later on with various add ons. However, this is a free game that deserves a chance and should be played by everyone at least for a few hours.

Quotation forthcoming.

Fairy Tail 2 is a title that struggles to convey the genuine fun typical of the adventures born from Hiro Mashima's pen. Behind a combat system that is overall decent and enjoyable—particularly in small doses and during boss fights—lies a formulaic and at times fragile JRPG that fails to rise above mere mediocrity. A major disappointment, it is recommended only for die-hard Fairy Tail fans who might still be able to overlook its obvious shortcomings.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is an atypical - but funny - RPG with a lot of TPS features, made by Dimps (also known as Dragon Ball Xenoverse developers).

Wizards Unite aims to improve and amplify all the mechanics that Pokémon Go did right: the result is a game that definitely seems more complete at launch, but that at the same time may create some problems to the casual public.

Killer is Dead is not a bad title, especially if you loved No More Heroes, but it also doesn't overtake its charisma. Despite its absurdity, the game is struggling to become as unforgettable as the other works from Suda.

Gears Pop! is another great addition to the tower defense genre, offering an unexpectedly good mix of two very different franchises.

Downpour is an almost obligatory purchase for fans of the saga, but they must be aware of the technical and conceptual limitations of the product.

Secret Ponchos is a small project yet noteworthy. Unique in its mechanics from isometric shooter, offering rich gameplay and processed. Dynamic and highly tactical, goes perfectly with the nature of the competitive multiplayer game.

Tekken 3D Prime Edition it's perfect to play against your friends with wireless connection but it lacks about single player modes.

London 2012 represents a major step forward that makes it better than Beijing 2008, but unfortunately the technical issues don't make it one of the greatest titles of its genre.

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.

Xenon Racer inherits the legacy of the arcade racing games, with a solid structure, driving system and intriguing settings.

Blanc has some great ideas and an amazing art direction, but its gameplay lacks depth and the level design is not so brilliant.

Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express is a good adventure and a faithful adaptation of the timeless classic of mystery, but it settles for just that. On the narrative front, despite some deviations from the original story, there are no standout twists that make this adaptation better than the many others offered in the past; as for the gameplay, the game does what is expected from a graphic adventure, without going above and beyond. This is not necessarily a flaw, but from an adaptation of a mystery masterpiece of this caliber, one might have expected something more.

It's a shame that Deck13 new IP it's so generic and confusionary, because there are also bold new ideas in it. Nonetheless, as it is at the time of writing, Atlas Fallen is a by-the-book action RPG with a problematic targeting system and just a handful of open maps to explore, with so much better choices on the market.

It's a fair good shooter, with an interesting plot and nice graphics. Yet, if you're an FPS fan, you should know the DS offers some masterpieces in the genre, as Dementium 1 and 2 and the Call of Duty saga, which you should definitely choose over this one.

A weird and pleasant puzzle game, which delivers a nice challenge. Too bad that game is rather short, and the difficulty level has some ups and downs.

If you love rugby, even if you are not an expert, this is probably a game that you should buy.

Unbelievably Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes Of Time is a total DS porting: it features the same graphics and the same gameplay, in which you have to use the WiiMote just like you use the pen on the DS version, without any change in the gameplay that could make this game more enjoyable on Nintendo Wii...Anyway, the game has a good concept and sometimes it’s funny too.

God of War: Sons of Sparta isn’t a terrible game, but it’s not a more than acceptable game either. It simply sits somewhere in the middle. It’s a spin-off wedged into a series that is too big, too important, and too imposing to afford any missteps. Even back in the days of Ascension, widely considered the weakest entry in the entire saga, Santa Monica Studio made sure to follow a set of guidelines that would still guarantee an epic experience.

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.

AEW: Fight Forever is a good callback to some of the more arcade-styled wrestling games of the past, but it lacks much of the gameplay and content improvements added over the years by the same developers to their previous games.

Windbound is a good survival game, but it fails to deliver a real vibrant story and a good rhythm during exploration and crossing phases.

The gameplay mechanics are far from flawless, yet it's a lot of fun to be played, especially for quick sessions, making it an entertaining mobile title.

If you loved the last series by Telltale, don't expect anything new from Game of Thrones. But if you're a big fan of Martin's fantasy saga you'll find those atmospheres, that characters ambiguity, that violence mixed with pettiness and intrigue that serves as a perfect springboard to dive into the usual Telltale game style.

Rise & Shine's gameplay is fun and challenging, but the game has a really short length as well. Being a cheap indie game, it's definitely worth a try.

Nuka-World has amused and frustrated us at the same time. The new setting is among the most memorable of the entire series. However being forced to be evil with no other alternatives is something that a RPG should never do.

Nexuiz offers an old-school gameplay, but finds its own identity by adding some interesting features. If you're a fan of the genre you can't miss it.

Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is a fun game that combines the world of the magician with that of Lego bricks. Many puzzles and many spells are the key elements of this title.

Assassin's Creed Unity: Dead Kings surprised us as a solid and rich in content DLC, offering new challenge, a new and destructive weapon and numerous side quests that engage players for 6 to 8 hours: a good amount of time for what is a free DLC.

Definitely not the best WiiU port around, plagued by aliasing and framerate troubles. Still, it remains one of the best Musou games on the market, and with added content too.

Chronology is a product worthy of being purchased by all fans of puzzle games. It's original, it's cool, it's innovative in its own way, despite some ideas have been partially taken from other products of the same genre.

The plot is quite interesting, and the graphic is lovely, but the gameplay is way too slow. Still, if you are looking for a simple and short experience, Whispering Willows can be a decent suggestion.

Spiritsphere is made with a an original idea that, if developed better, could have got attention by a larger group of players.

My Time at Sandrock is an RPG-style life/farming simulator. The game offers relaxing fun gameplay with a stunning post-apocalyptic setting, a very pleasant soundtrack, and an extensive ensemble of extremely well characterized extra characters.

Gotham Knights surprised us in a positive way: it's not a revolution for the genre, but it's able to entertain the fans of the DC Universe, especially because Batman's not here.

A good mix between gameplay and online matches. Despite the poor AI and a short single player mode, this is definitely best served with friends.

More variety in the usual Musou gameplay structure isn't really enough to differentiate this title from other games in a genre that really hasn't evolved at all in years. Developers should really start considering what's wrong with the genre, and try to make it evolve. Pirate Warriors is not the right answer to the problem.

Dead by Daylight: Special Edition is the same game we've played on PC a year ago, albeit with a lot of new content. Its gameplay remains fresh and fun, however the lack in variety might jeopardize the lasting appeal of the game, which is also threatened by a weak matchmaking.

The mechanics are basically unchanged from its predecessor, but the developers have gotten better when it comes to pure level design and variety. The 2.5 perspective is also used much better in the maps, even if we would have liked more gadgets and possibilities during the action. If you liked Chronicles: China get it without a second thought, but keep in mind that it’s still a long way from the quality that we’ve seen in Mark of the Ninja.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is one of a kind, but it works more in theory than in practice.

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.

If you have spent several hours on Assassin's Creed IV, you will immediately understand that Liberation is a step backwards compared to the strong fourth chapter. But at the same time, it is a story that deserves to be rediscovered. If you missed it on PS Vita, give it some confidence. You will not regret it.

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.

Too many flaws, and some new features. Pro Cycling Manager 2016 is affected by bugs and other technical problems; still, the game proposes a new UI, and some improvements in the Pro Cyclist Mode.

Corruption 2029 is a mix made of exploration in real time and turn based combat. It has some good ideas, but it is very repetitive due to the same maps and uninspired missions.

MXGP Pro is an all-around improvement of MXGP3, but lacks of mode and contents to be really different from its previous chapter. Physics is better and the Extreme Career mode is something brilliant, but the physics bugs in collision can make it impossible to sustain.

If you are not interested to challenge friends and family, do not even purchase the game. The shortness of the single-player experience and the presence of only one mode against the three multiplayer modes are not in fact limits to be underestimated.

Project Zero Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is probably one of the best episodes in the long-running horror franchise, and even if this remaster leaves something to be desired, it does not fail in brining bringing anxiety and disturbing matters to new audiences.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD is a game that fans of Jotaro and Dio Brando can't miss. All the other gamers must be advised, this game needs lot of practice to be mastered and only with that experience it can be fun. Netcode have some problems too, wait a price drop before buying it.

Despite its tremendous launch, day one DLCs, and always online mode SimCity is still a really good game with some new interesting feature.

A game with a very high level of difficulty, who relies on an original gameplay and an interesting story. So, it’s all about patience: if you have it, you will go through all the failures and the inevitable repetitions of the stages, and you will get a decent story. If you don’t have it, you will quit after minutes.

Although an intriguing atmosphere, Aragami 2 can't stand out as the first game did and some choices in level design make it feel more linear than it should.

In an effort to offer the player a fresh and different experience, Of Orcs and Men ends up being a mix of elements that works quite well and others that influence the product in a very negative way. The narration is good as it is the combat system, but then the progression is just too linear and the title ends up being repetitive.

Vampire The Masquerade Swansong sticks to the source material very closely, adding very little to distinguish itself from many other adventure games, except for some bugs and inconsistencies. Only suited for long time World of Darkness fans.

Spongebob is a title very fun to play thanks to a flawless technical execution. The only limitation of the game lies in its low level of challenge that makes it a title mostly for children.

It's still a good game, but this third chapter should have been something more in terms of new ideas and polishing.

It's a lousy driving game, frustrating and with too many QTE, utterly spoiling the overall experience.

Lost at Sea fails to tell a decent story about life and everything in between. It looks like a generic game with simplistic gameplay and a lot of downtime.

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.

Aphelion is a pleasant, well-crafted, and visually captivating sci-fi adventure that remains engaging to play, especially thanks to its setting and the credibility of its spacefaring imagination. DON'T NOD builds a world that is beautiful to explore and a story solid enough to carry the journey, but it never quite manages to give the gameplay the same strength as its artistic vision.

While the improvements since Lost Song are noticeable and there's a huge roster of playable characters, because of its downsides it's a product for only the the hardcore fans of the saga (or sagas, in this case), just like its predecessors.

The collaboration between Vin Diesel’s software house and Midway has given birth to something original and exciting, with fast paced action and Hollywood blockbuster’s style as the best elements in the game. Longevity, around 15 hours, is another strong point in the production, making of this game a must have for all the free roaming action game lovers, who will find in Wheelman the right dose of adrenaline and cinematic action.

Quotation forthcoming.

Considering the cuts to the Resident Evil 3 campaign, Resident Evil: Resistance is certainly content that manages to balance the overall value of the product rather well.

This is a fun game, with so many modes, but the lack of online and lack of balancing in the roster makes it a suitable title only for fans of the original chapter.

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.

Command and Conquer 4 brings some major twists in the gameplay; a brave and admirable choice, sadly not supported with adequate testing and know-how. The battles feel too fast-paced, amassing big armies always wins over strategy and the overall magic of the saga feels lost. The big potential in what could’ve been a true tide-turner for the brand is thus gone, and this feels just as a mediocre RTS, unable to stand out on its own qualities.

In an era where everyone’s chasing the next big thing in multiplayer, FBC: Firebreak dares to be weird, borderline, and at times deliberately off-putting. It’s a game that doesn’t demand your daily grind, doesn’t punish you for skipping a week, and doesn’t crave your undivided loyalty. And maybe that’s exactly why it ends up having something to say. Maybe not much — but it says it with a style that sticks. If you’ve got two friends and a few hours to spare for some paranormal chaos, with zero expectations for emotional depth or narrative weight, FBC: Firebreak is well worth the price of admission.

A decent free to play game, with a lot of style and an interesting development system. The microtransaction system isn't that awesome, and the structure is a bit too repetitive to be truly great, but right now there's not much better on PS4.

Afterimage is a solid and aesthetically amazing metroidvania. Despite some minor flaws, it's a title absolutely worth playing for all the fans of the genre.

If it wasn't for the king of pop himself, The Experience wouldn't be too big a deal. It lacks depth and some innovation, yet the fans will love it for what it is, a collection of great successes to play in a classic rythm game style.

Vikings Wolves of Midgard is a passable Diablo clone, full of fresh ideas for the genre, none of which really fits into the gameplay, let down by repetition and peculiar game design choices. There are far better similar games on Xbox One, and it's very hard to recommend this one over Diablo III, Bastion or Hyper Light Drifter.

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.

The console version of Moons of Madness is not on par with the PC ones on the technical side of things, but it remains a solid narrative based adventure to enjoy.

Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a decent tie-in, a real-time strategy game based on the acclaimed TV series. Nothing more and nothing less.

A decent multiplayer game, Q-Force falls flat in the campaign and lasting appeal departments.

Yakuza Dead Souls merges good RPG elements with TPS mechanics unfortunately damaged by some technical problems that compromise the entire game experience.

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.

Forspoken is a game of ups and downs. The title is much more focused on the story than on the open world component and this is not a bad thing at all. The narrative is enjoyable, but not without flaws, while the open world is very classic in style without particular flashes of originality.

It's a little project, but also an ambitious one, with RPG elements and slow paced exploration thrown in the mix. Unfortunately we weren't completely convinced by the game's pace and the design choices. If you like spaceships and are not scared of dead moments, you could find something to love in RymdResa.

Darksiders 3 is the best entry in the series. This new chapter has a solid game structure and represents all the best that you can expect from a modern action-adventure game.

The arcade side of the offroad experience: you won't like it if you're an MX vs ATV fan, but it's still good fun. Could've been way better with a decent collision system and some more polish.

This is, undeniably, the worst version of RPG Maker, which is, by itself, the best tool to create simple RPGs on PC. No tutorial, a lack of content and a high price hold this product back.

Warlander feels like a melting pot of different mechanics, but with its own personality. Unfortunately, not everything fell into the right place during the development, but it's an interesting attempt nonetheless.

The first episode of 198X is an homage to the best and most iconic arcade games of the 80s, but tells a really trivial and generic story.

A deep and profound strategic title wich fails to deliver, mainly due to a lame user interface, lack of tutorial, questionable AI, bad graphics and boring moments. The multiplayer fails to save it. It's definitely better to look elsewhere into the Paradox portfolio with better, more refined, titles as Hearts of Iron or Europa Universalis.

Slaps And Beans is a real tribute to Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, but its combat system misses too many points.

Hood takes Robin Hood legend and shapes it as a multiplayer gameplay experience that has its moments, but is vastly improvable.

Wastelanders gives to the longtime Fallout lovers an experience way more similar to the series they always knew. Unfortunately, the overall experience it still is plagued by bugs and Creation Engine looks and feels as outdated as ever.

Star Wars the Force Unleashed II makes up for most of its predecessor flaws, and delivers some terrific action sequences. It's a shame though that the story is simply non existent and the whole adventure lasts some 5 hours. It really seems like the developers can't make this saga right, leaves us waiting for a new hope.

Four years later, Darkstar One comes back on the Xbox 360 identical to the PC version and well adapted for console controllers. The experience is quite deep and lets the player enjoy many different missions, but in the end you will find yourself fighting too often. Also, technically suffers its age, despite the 1080p resolution. If you like the genre, anyway, this game is at the moment your only choice.

King's Bounty II has enough good things to entice fans of the genre for several hours, as long as they turn a blind eye to its many flaws and limitations.
