Great location, good gameplay and very interesting story. Assassin's Creed Bloodlines achieves the goal of reproducing console's style into the PSP. Good visuals, enhanced combat system and new money-system could be what the entire saga needed in order to evolve. Bad A.I. influences some fighting sessions, and the too repetitive mission can slow down the pace. Every PSP owner should at least try this fairly good title.

Basically Penny Punching Princess is yet another low budget production by Nippon Ichi who tries to throw into the fray some new gameplay, without having to take too much work from the technical point of view. The combat system can also be innovative and interesting to deepen, but in the long run can not entertain the player who is forced to move for dungeons always the same, which must be repeated several times each to improve the statistics of the princess and mitigate a particularly high level of difficulty.

All in all, The Godfather II goes on the same path of its predecessor: funny gameplay, but repetitive, cool design, but graphics look old. You can squeeze the best out of it while managing your rackets, but the fun won’t last long, and won’t leave much behind when it’s over.

It's hard to play Sands of Destruction where it could have been enjoyable and easy: hard for the tremendous amount of random encounters and, most of all, for the insanely unbalanced battle system, base on luck more than ability.

We're happy that the Panzer Dragoon series gets another chance on Switch, and we can't wait to play the sequel in the works, but we'd recommend waiting for a price drop before buying this one.

The Baconing is a good and fun game, similar to Deathspank: the fan will be pleased to find again all the elements that made it a success.

Beat Hazard Ultra is simply a nice, colorful and fun twin-stick shooter that every player into EDM or metal music shouldn't miss.

All-Star Fruit Racing on Switch remains a good starting-point. Its kart racing is fun and easy to learn, thus confirming its "family-friendly" nature. By the way it retains flaws like a not memorable roster and some technical issues (such as shadows and loading times), and that's a pity that obscures a little its rediscovered nature of portable game.

Lego Star Wars III The Clone Wars is a very easy game, and if you played any other LEGO title, you already know the movie song.

A lame control system completely spoils the good fun and the original concept.

Too few differences between classes and a low difficulty level, plus day one DLC, make this game really too expensive for its offer.

Recore is a game that has two great strengths, solid gameplay at the base and art- winning design, which together hold the interest high throughout the course of the adventure . Keiji Inafune and Comcept are improving greatly after Mighty N9, but unfortunately even this time the effort is not enough to make ReCore an exceptional game.

Various Daylife is held back by its mobile game nature and too many wrong choices that transform the game in a series of jobs and actions that no one would really love to do.

The Suicide of Rachel Foster is an awesome and unsettling "Italian Giallo" set in an abandoned hotel that recalls the one seen in Shining, rich with details that tell a story of love and tragedy.

A great visual and emotive impact get somehow wasted by scarce interaction and the overall linearity.

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.

Chocobo GP is an easy to approach experience, but it can't really live up to the Final Fantasy name.

The long awaited return of SOCOM in the next-gen is a big disappointment: the typical elements of the series, like the realism or the customization of weapons and equipment, are still there, but the many technical flaws make Confrontation a title only for hardcore fans. Bad control system, the occasional lag and the broken statistics are unforgivable defects, especially for a multiplayer only game. Until Sony releases a patch to fix the many issues, SOCOM: Confrontation will remain a game only for the most hardcore fans.

Lonesome Road seems appropriate only for the fans of the brand. Poor plot, repetitive gameplay and some technical issues don't make it a good bargain.

A MMORPG with a Diablo-like perspective. It’s definitely an accessible experience, but one that lacks courage, and a smart economical structure.

Even if it's not a perfect adventure, it may still be worth checking Skully out if you're a fan of puzzle-platformers.

There are elements in this fourth episode that didn’t convince us at all. Mainly the long wait for the release, a strange move that made us (and probably many others) lose quite a bit of interest in the game and its characters. The gameplay could have saved the situation, but it was simplified on many levels, in a chapter that’s also shorter than the past ones and a bit low in the “wow” factor.

Crazy Taxi Rush City is the latest game developed by SEGA. The game is an endless runner that, thanks to the very particular context, brings something original to a very popular genre. The gameplay is extremely repetitive and the game is ruined by constant and annoying ads and the presence of In-App Purchases is invasive.

Jon Shafer's At the Gates is a unique 4X, with tons of fresh ideas, but many of them remain incomplete.

This is a very weak porting of a good racing game. Nintendo Switch isn't the right console for TT Isle of Man 2.

Despite some technical issues, Scarygirl offers a fair five hour playthrough with a cool style based on the original graphic novel created by Nathan Jurevicius.

This new version of Secret of Mana doesn't add anything important to this timeless classic, presenting the same strengths and weaknesses of 25 years ago. It can still be fun with a couple fo friends on the same couch, but we won't recommend it over the Snes Classic Mini version of the original.

It's basically Farmville in the Smurfs' village: stay away if you don't like microtransactions, on the other hand the gameplay is overall funny.

The gameplay is not very original and the control are simple, but sometimes they feel very uncomfortable. Some puzzle are extremely simple, while some others are way too difficult. Overall, the environment and the atmosphere are very nice.

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

he Lost Child is a first person dungeon crawler that revolves around grinding, exploration and a "pokémonesque" demon hunt. It is very repetitive and the graphics looks very dated.

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.

Sonic Lost World is certainly not a Sonic-themed Mario Galaxy. Yet, this is the most advanced and most comprehensive Sonic of the last years. Those who expected a masterpiece will probably be disappointed, but this time what we got is - at least - a good game.

A wonderful idea, completely new on the PSP, but the realization doesn't stands up to the brightness of it. However, a nice action game for your handheld.

Pokémon Masters is different enough from Pokémon Go to warrant a download from all those who love Pokémon.

Exaclty like the tv series, Heroes Reborn is a mass of untapped potential, that starts with some good ideas (even if they’re partly recycled from other games) but wastes most of them on a boring storyline. It’s a decent tie-in, nothing more, nothing less.

Through the Woods offers a good atmosphere, a unique setting and many fascinating references to Nordic mythology. However, it suffers from many technical flaws. It also shows some problems with illumination system and when the torch is used towards the enemies.

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.

Due to the clumsy and imprecise combat system, as well as the outdated graphics, Alone in the Dark fails to relaunch the series among the big franchises of the survival horror genre.

Same old story.

Blood, zombies and blasphemy are a great starting point, but alone are not sufficient to raise Fist of Jesus to the honors of the critics. Too weird to please the mass audience, it's probably dull in the eyes of the fans of the short film that inspired it.

Wheels of Aurelia is an interesting storytelling experiment. It tells the story of fictional characters in the Italian Seventies through a dialogue system with multiple answers. It lasts 20-30 minutes but it has 16 endings.

Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 is a missed chance for a great franchise to come back in the old school player's heart. Lame level design and control make this suitable just for the most hardocre fans.

We certainly didn’t expect Squirrel with a Gun to be a high-quality masterpiece, but after playing it, we found some of its ideas so clever and fun that they left us with a bit of regret about the overall final result. It’s a project with a high level of nonsense, but it also genuinely shows how much the developers must have enjoyed themselves during its design and release. Enhanced by numerous unlockables and collectibles, the game is wild, delirious, and technically rough (at times unforgivably and frustratingly so). Yet, it’s this blend of mismatched characteristics that, at least partially, gives it a reason to exist in the market.

With his new engine, Milestone was capable to offer his best rally game; however it’s still not good enough to compete with the best racing games out there. WRC: FIA World Rally Championship 4 is a good game, with tons of licenses and contents but his stange mix of simulation and arcade game could be disappointing for hardcore gamers.

This is certainly nor the best work form Experience Inc. nor the best dungeon crawler available on Playstation Vita, but can be a good choice for the ones that already completed better titles such as Demon Gaze and Stranger of Sword City.

After the first enjoyable DLC, Gearbox tries a new way to entertain the growing public of its interesting shooter. The horde idea is old enough, but it still works and provides a compelling experience, enhanced by some nice small ideas, like random rules. Sadly there's no real reward, and reward is everything Borderland's about; allthough sometimes fun to play, this neverending massacre betrays the spirit of the original game.

Kane and Lynch 2 is a definite improvement over its predecessor, but it still has some flaws. The cover system is still clunky and the singleplayer campaign is definitely too short. Still, the game has a great style. It's movie-like, with a charismatic leading pair of characters, original online modes and the added treat of the co-op campaign. It could've been more, but as it is, it's just a pretty good shooter.

It's the same thing over and over: if you love the saga and the genre, probably you should still help yourself. If you're looking for the next step, keep waiting.

Bright Memory Infinite may seduce you with the amazing graphics, but unfortunately its good ideas have literally no time enough to shine.

An RPG, a grand strategy, a tycoon game and with a final touch of turn-based tactics, this is Empire of Sin, a game that skillfully manages to keep its various souls together.

Don't be fooled by this empty box. For some 40 euros you'll get an endless grinding of a few tracks, and not even a quarter of the content that Reflex had. A bad move, better left on the shelves.

Destiny 2: Warmind is the new beginning that the franchise needed and the community hoped. The ranking system in the Crucible and the Escalation Protocol are satisfying and very challenging. The only regret is that the main campaign of this expansion could have been more in-depth.

A great arcade dancing game, fun to play, but hard to master! Only for the DDR series fan.

A historic role-playing game appeared in 1986, now re-staged on Nintendo Switch console.

Quotation forthcoming.

In a industry dominated by safe, risk-free productions, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is a bold game, even in its failures. The Chinese Room has created an ambitious work (perhaps too ambitious for its own means) yet one capable of leaving a mark. It’s not the sequel many dreamed of, but perhaps it’s the one this dark world truly deserved: a flawed title, yet brimming with personality and vision.

There's clearly passion and commitment behind Mato Anomalies, which is a strange container of a lot of ideas. The problem is that none of these is properly developed, and, unfortunately, the final result is even less than the sum of its parts.

Cossacks 3 is the comeback of GSC Game World and brings back the player at the time of the old RTS, but the AI has some serious problems.

Even if it's not even in the same league of titles like Diablo III (or II, for that matters) or Path of Exile, Warhammer Chaosbane is a familiar but still quite entertaining take on the action RPG formula, marred only by dated visuals.

The years go by, and unfortunately The King of Fighters brings them really bad. Certainly the developers have not focused on quantity to entice the user, but even then the quality seems so bland. The graphics, which, if although renovated, it has become obsolete, goes hand in hand with a longevity virtually nonexistent, if the multiplayer could salvage something, everything is thwarted by an unstable Netcode. We recommend it only to fans of the series.

Professor Heinz Wolff’s Gravity adds physical laws to the standard party games logic, and offers different variants in term of gameplay.

Defence Technica is a very difficult old school game able to entertain tower defence lovers. It was presented as the `next big thing` in his genre, but at the end of the day, it doesn't invent anything.

A nice first try by Sony to compete with Nintendogs in a different way: it's a shame that the dubbing is awful and there's way too much repetition involved, especially in the first few hours, but young dog lovers should give it a try.

Crazy and unique, Skatebird is far from perfect but you should give it a shot.

Call of Cthulhu, although held back by a poor visual presentation, is nonetheless a great game which will be greatly enjoyed by Lovecraft fans.

15 Days is a pretty good choice for gamers and adventurers are looking for an interactive film rather then a videogame, or for those looking for an adventure game with a low level of difficulty.

A good title for all trading card game fans, but everyone else should look elsewhere for more interesting gameplay.

Surviving for thirty days in the cold with a survival team is not as simple as it sounds in Impact Winter.

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.

Definitely an evolution if you compare it to its predecessor. It’s a bigger and better game, with the possibility of flying thrown in the mix that makes for faster pacing and exploration. Unfortunately, it’s still not that deep of a jrpg, and we recommend it only to fans of the anime or the novels.

If a very difficult puzzle platformer is what you're looking for, and you don't mind repetition and frustration, the Ninja Usagimaru may be the right game for you. Otherwise, even with a small price fee, the game is not worth it.

Sudden Strike 4 is an old style RTS, with classic control and game mechanics, but has some serious problems about the AI and pathfinding.

Pop-Up Pilgrims is a puzzle-platform that manages to be entertaining while showing numerous flaws, such as the scarce variety of situations the game has to offer. That, along with a questionable use of the PS VR, prevents us from fully recommending the game.

Illusion: A Tale of the Mind has a touching story to tell, but it's held back by repetitive puzzles.

Carcassonne on Switch is a good porting, with the incredible absence of the online multiplayer.

Bookbound Brigade has a lot of brilliant ideas, is funny and well painted, but the mechanics have some missing points, with frustrating platform moments and dull combat.

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

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.

A title for the young fans of the movie. It's short, repetitive and easy, and noone else should have any reason to get interested.

Daymare: 1998 is a hardcore survival horror purposely created by fans, for fans. Despite some technical flaws and hiccups, typical of independent productions, it recreates the atmosphere of the old school gems.

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.

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

If you are a simulation fan, then Heroes Over Europe is definitely not for you. However, if just like to have fun with a decent action game, you will be happily surprised as the use of bullet time and the breathtaking challenges hundreds of meters in height will be almost worth the while.

Trauma is a very interesting product: unconventional gaming fans should take a look.

Go Vacation is a decent party game, held back by the emptiness of its main setting and the lack of a true standout amongst its minigames.

Wanted; Weapons of Fate could’ve been a great action game. Gameplay is solid, even if not original, and will deeply entertain you, and graphics are sometimes stunning. The big drawback is the length: it took us four hours to get to the final sequence, which really isn’t enough as of today. Consider a purchase only if four intense hours of gameplay is enough for you.

Hyper Scape is a good battle royale with solid and substantial differences from its competitors. Ubisoft’s project has interesting gameplay and deserves a chance.

Resident Evil 0 has some big issues related to its old style gameplay, an awkward control system and no extras for this Wii version. It's still a good-looking game on the Wii, but after eight long years fan would’ve definitely deserved some more.

Wooden Sen'sey looks like a game developed without infamy or praise, the developers where not able to give a clean cut to the product, which is a sum of various elements and no one stands out over the others. Wooden Sen'sey could also be appreciable, despite the flaws, but since platform games on Wii U e-shop are high level, you could buy better games at the same price. The comparison with other games of the same genre puts Wooden Sen'sey in serious disadvantage.

It has evident limits and technical problems, but it's also a fun racing game, and there's not much choice if you're a rally aficionado. If you're searching for the definitive rally experience this is definitely not it, but it's something.

There's no reason to buy this WiiU version over any other, especially because the framerate can be very choppy at times, but the game itself is still worthy if you didn't' have the chance to play it elsewhere.

Agents of Mayhem is an interesting experiment, but with short legs. While on one hand we have twelve agents all different and fun to use in fast-paced and dynamic gameplay mechanics, on the other hand we have a gameplay experience ruined mostly for the repetition of missions background and the copious presence of bugs and glitches ready to make you start a great run over again.

Super Bomberman R is far too pricey for what it offers, especially considering that the online multiplayer suffered from lag issues during our tests. This is still a decent Bomberman game, a decent launch game and a very good multiplayer game, but it is neither as appealing if played alone nor one of the best games in the long lasting franchise.

Warsaw is a tactical-RPG, a tribute to the hellish Darkest Dungeon: it's cruel, it's hard and it's also a bit unfair.

An entertaining arcade racing game with well developed online and social component. It lacks depth and contents, but being free-to-play we can't complain to much. We suggest to give it a try, but surely EA needs to introduce a lot of new stuff, or the servers will be empty in no time.

Doki-Doki Universe is a really particular indie game that tries to offer something new and unique, but is stopped by the lack of depth of its gameplay mechanics.

The Settlers History Collection is a pure historical tribute, faithful to the past.
