Better than the 3DS version, but definitely bland if compared to the home versions: PS vita deserves more.

The space adventure of The Long Journey Home is hard, a journey into the galaxies that requires a lot of patience. Not a bad game, but not for everyone.

Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[st] proposes a solid and not prohibitive combat system. Thanks to the matchmaking, and stability problems that we found during online matches and also to the not so high quality of all the game modes, we can say that Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[st] is a step below the other Arc System works’ productions.

It's a nice title, and probably it's the Freemium formula that spoils the fun after a while. Worth a good try anyway.

Batman: The Brave and The Bold is a comic and cartoon-based game for Nintendo Wii. It features a vintage style that perfectly fits the spirit of the old-style Dark Knight, but the gameplay lacks in variety and depth.

It's accessible to everyone and sometimes quite funny, sadly not all the minigames have the same verve.

All the settings are beautifully reproduced, but this is not enough, only a new mode is added, and the design of the maps is too linear. By the way, you can fight with Chewie and for most of you this is enough to buy the game.

The Witcher Adventure Game is a board game that manages to offer something new in the fantasy world of Geralt, as long as you like shifts, dice, cards to draw from the deck, contingencies and many texts to read.

It tries to blend MMO and TPS, without much success.

It is a pity: Contrast can count on a good story, an amazing setting, and some good 2D platform sessions, but lacks on puzzles, length and variety; all in all that situation delivers a certain sense of boring.

The game has some good cooperative mechanics and well designed puzzles, but fails to recreate the atmosphere it wants to borrow.

A bit messy and not deep enough, Revenants feels like a missed chance for Fallen Legion, but the plot and its characters are intriguing.

Star Trek Online is a good game. The battles between the ships can make the joy of the fans, but also to other players might like. The part about the planets , however, will completely disappoint both for the behavior of our comrades who are not always up to their task. Recommended only to fans of the franchise, and those who are willing to forgive these flaws.

It's a very easy and sometimes arcade-ish game, it really doesn't have what it takes to simulate such a thrilling driving experience.

Definitely not the greatest sports management game around. Not even close. But it’s more than enough for basket fans, mostly due to its extensive database and the passionate community (that already resolved the “lack of licenses” problem). There’s still a lot of work to be done on actual matches in the game, that’s a given.

It's a very easy and sometimes arcade-ish game, it really doesn't have what it takes to simulate such a thrilling driving experience.

Technically prehistorical, SBK Generations offers solid gameplay but no novelties whatsoever, which means it mantains all the flaws of its predecessors.

The hero is a lot of fun, the setting is interesting and gameplay is somehow original. A shame for all the repetitiviness and the annoying controls.

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

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.

Trapped Dead: Lockdown is a hack'n'slash with good and bad points, in almost equal measure. We've appreciated its atmosphere taken from horror z-movies, the variety of characters, the discreet loot and the co-op online, if you ever manage to find mates to play with.

Cannibal Abduction is an ode to the slasher movies of the '80s and the classic survival horrors of PSOne era. Too bad for its structural and gameplay limits.

A well written story and some good gameplay gimmicks combine with an overall context that lacks coherence. Some issues in the control system and old-gen graphics utterly spoil the fun. A shame, especially for the waste of some good ideas and the well designed supporting characters.

While providing some potentially good ideas, the product packaged by the guys at SuperVillain Studios is not able to convince due to a sometimes embarrassing lack of content. Single-player is almost non-existent and in online matches is often hard to find a worthy opponent . Plus, there are only three maps to play in, too few if you think that the level design is an integral part of gameplay.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is a wasted opportunity. Battles are repetitive and the roster is unbalanced. Also, the graphics reminds one of a PS3 game.

Velvet Assassin delivers a fresh point of view on the Second World War scenario, providing the player with more intense and human aspects than the average shooter. Sadly, the stealth gameplay is split between great level design and lousy A.I, while the overall experience feels a little bit too linear. Disappointing, since a deeper testing could've made a great game of this interesting concept.

The game invites you to think about the story and to take care of every weak sound but then, when the story comes to an end, it leaves you with more questions than answer. Anyway, for lovers of the horror atmosphere, it's worth the price.

Bridging the second and the third chapter was surely a great idea, a shame for the very rushed narrative and the repetitive gameplay. Suited just for the true fans of the saga.

The Voice of Freedom tells the story of Benjamin Walker right before his arrival in Philadelphia. It lasts two hours and has a good pace, but it maintains quite the same frame rate problems seen in Homefront: The Revolution.

The Black Mirror reboot revolves around dark family secrets, with a narrative that pays homage to classic gothic tales. Even so it has a lot of technical flaws: from graphics issues to bugs and bad animations, there's little to save from this point of view.

Bridging the second and the third chapter was surely a great idea, a shame for the very rushed narrative and the repetitive gameplay. Suited just for the true fans of the saga.

Another journey through the ancient Cina history, but in terms of gameplay it doesn't innovate the core system.

The Inpatient's interesting premise and ideas cannot save a game plagued by a poorly-paced plot and boring gameplay.

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.

Gameplay-wise, Realms of Ruin should have offered a lot more to this adaptation of Age of Sigmar.

Othercide is a stylish turn based strategy game, with a lot of innovation and a "beautiful" setting, but every mission is a copy-and-paste and there is a lack of diversification.

If you want to race the Tour de France on your PS4 this game is your only option. Still, the game feels repetitive after a bit, whilst the gameplay offers mixed sensations.

Oceanhorn is a game that works well on Switch, mainly because of its similarities to Zelda, but it's really gameplay limited and lasts only 10 hours.

FIFA 12 is an updated version of FIFA 11, with several adjustments within the single player content, but it completely lacks any online mode, one of the last edition's highlights.

Ara: History Untold was supposed to be the game that, after nearly eight years, could make us forget Civilization VI. However, it seems that once again, we'll have to wait for the seventh installment to lose ourselves, one turn at a time. The title, developed by Oxide Games, looks very promising. It has a visually striking graphical style and some interesting flashes of brilliance. However, it’s a strategy game whose core focus is hard to grasp, and it falls victim to overwhelming micromanagement that permeates every turn. This has drawn attention away from areas that needed more care, such as diplomacy, technology, and those essential late-game variations.

Monumental Games lacks the courage to take the series one step forward; despite the arcade turn not being a bad thing per se, the simulation doesn't convince on many aspects, starting from the very bad physics. A true shame, that makes us hope in the next SBK installment.

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

Nights of Azure 2 has a fun and simple gameplay and interesting mechanics, but that get penalized by the game design itself and the repetitiveness of the title. If you enjoyed the previous game, you'll probably have fun with this one as well.

A strange mix between a not-so-polished HD remaster, a movie and a short demo. Worth the price only for the most hardcore fans.

Exorder is not a bad game, nor a masterpiece. It delivers a nice narrative and a good variety of units, but the gameplay is a bit dull, with no real elements that can push to create complex tactics.

Wolfenstein is an average FPS, with main drawbacks like an excessive linearity (partially hidden by the town meta-level, unsuccessfully), a general lack of polish, and poor A.I. A good level design and great scripted fights will please who is looking for some easy fun, but ultimately this is really milking an historical license.

Bravo Team is a good game that manages to recreate the feeling of collaborative shooters from the old days.

It's devloped in a cheap way, carelessely forgetting some important polishing. Some Farmville could actually be more fun than this.

The 25th Ward: The Silver Case is a remaster of the old visual novel developed by Grasshopper Manufacture. Unfortunately, just because something is "remastered" doesn't mean it's better.

Back to the future Citizen Brown is sure to satisfy the fans with his witty humor and great writing, those who expected some good puzzles are going to be disappointed though.

Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ is a shooter set in the world of fairy tales. The title is now available in Europe the game has as DSiWare at a cost of only 800 Nintendo Points. This shooter has quite familiar environments, which encourage us to explore, and an original structure. To be reported against a system of precise control, but in the long tiring, a certain amount of repetition and a level of difficulty that isn't properly calibrated. Zombie BBQ is a shooter so discreet that deserves a little thought in its PAL (same but cheaper) DSiWare exclusive, but probably not worth the cost of imported game for those without a DSi.

The cooperative/competitive system on which the game is based is pretty interesting, but simplistic mechanics and lack of variety are an hard obstacle to overcome. Also, playing it alone is a chore.

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.

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

Adventure Island: The Beginning, developed by Hudson, returns after many years. The game, fun and engaging, is limited by some ups and downs. A very short length, balanced by a level of difficulty at times frustrating, it may not attract long-time players and even the less experienced. The idea of the upgrades is interesting and actually extends the gaming experience, but there are only five worlds. The return of Master Higgins is therefore a fun title that, despite the limitations mentioned, it is very suitable for those who appreciated the first titles in the series.

Duke Nukem Forever is buoyed by the explosive force of its own brand. It has a lot of issues, first of all its old graphic engine. Fans will find an enjoyable experience, but there's much better out there for the same price.

The first episode is a good start for Minecraft: Story Mode: Season two, but we need some innovations for this gameplay.

Ghostbusters: The Videogame Remastered still has the charm of the original outing, but the laziness of this remaster prevents it from reaching a higher score.

A Golden Wake is an adventure that cannot fully leave the sign; the gameplay offered by Grundislav Games, in fact, stands at a difficulty level too low to pose a real challenge.

Alice: Madness Returns isn't as good as we expected. It has a lot of style and very good visual deisgn, but its long main adventure becomes very repetitive too soon.

Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle is a mediocre graphic adventure with some good humoristic cut scenes. This Wii version doesn't offer nothing more than the PC version, except for the not-well implemented control system.

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

Alice: Madness Returns isn't as good as we expected. It has a lot of style and very good visual deisgn, but its long main adventure becomes very repetitive too soon.

A simple and funny killtime... for a match or two.

Biomutant has multiple facets, some accomplished quite well, while others would have deserved more polish and a substantial overhaul to reach their targets. The experience is still enjoyable for large chunks, but Experiment 101 will have to do some more next time to fully convince us.

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.

Steelrising has an interesting take on the French Revolution, but it really has nothing new to offer to soulslikes' lovers, expect for the difficulty selection.

Pro Cycling Manager 2018 take some steps into the right direction. The new contract system is fun, the relationship with the sponsor is simpler, and the AI is more refinished as well. Still there are many flaws in quite every aspect of the game, but if you missed the game last year, you might want to check out this new one.

The game is recommended to those who are looking for a product able to deliver a few laughs with friends, also because of the interesting co-op mode, which provides, for each player, the use of a different limb, for a "virtual" version of Twister. Really hilarious.

Quotation forthcoming.

The expectations of those who were hoping for a videogame, Dark Void, which would finally be able to bring a breath of fresh air into the third-person action genre, are sadly disappointed, at least in part, from this title. Certainly the air-combat component has been implemented in a very good way, but it's unfortunately not sufficiently good enough, in a game were you must alternate flying phases with boring sections on foot. The game's value is also clouded by an only discrete technical compartment, lifted in part by a great soundtrack. A pity, because there was a huge potential in the concept idea of Dark Void.

It can be fun with friends, but it truly lacks content, and is not even remotely excellent, especially when compared to other Nintendo titles that were able to reimagine sports gaming in unexpected ways. Consider it only if you have kids, or if you are looking for an intuitive party game.

Singstar Queen is just for real Queen's fans that only have a PS2, because this version of the game has a poor track list, and it hasn't got any new game mode.

The classic more of the same. You won't find any new feature, combo or new gameplay idea here. Just for the die hard fans.

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.

Despite the amazing visual concept, Escape Plan doesn't add nothing new to genre. The overall experience is also marked by a poor implementation of the controls.

Velvet Assassin delivers a fresh point of view on the Second World War scenario, providing the player with more intense and human aspects than the average shooter. Sadly, the stealth gameplay is split between great level design and lousy A.I, while the overall experience feels a little bit too linear. Disappointing, since a deeper testing could've made a great game of this interesting concept.

It's basically the same game as Ghost Recon Online but with not so many more maps: a third person shooter that aims to be tactical without being able to provide fun for more than a few hours. It deserves to be tried only because it's free and nothing else.

Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-Ality fails short due to its movement-related problems and its limited gameplay.

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

Whoever already owns a copy of a previous Tropico chapter won't find many reasons to buy this new chapter, gameplay is just the same and new features are too few to justify a full price.

Jesse Makkonen undoubtedly has a great sensitivity, but throughout the whole adventure his limits as a one-man-show become evident. This is a good test, but if the young developer was surrounded by other highly specialized professionals, the result would have been much better.

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection goes back to memory, with two of the most iconic games from the '90, but this operation only shows the evolution made by the RTS.

Same old story, we already saw everything from MOH: Warfighter in other games. Nothing really new to discuss.

Not a great effort: Above the Law does not deliver true drama, a good progression of characters, and some serious action.

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.

Puddle confirms the good and less good seen in recent months on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and PS Vita. Good ideas but the result is just decent.

It wouldn’t take much for Drag X Drive to shake off the label of “short but pricey diversion” and become a true must-have. With such a polished control system, Nintendo only needs to add meaningful content to make its affordable price point irresistible to fans of Rocket League–style hybrids that mix sports, arcade flair, and Twitch-ready multiplayer. Hopefully that happens, because it would be a real shame to see this one fade away quietly.

The Adventures of Tintin is a good tie-in of Spielberg's performance capture 3D film. It has an action/platform-based gameplay and is very simple. Only for young players.

Grumpy Cat’s Worst Game Ever is a funny collection of a bunch of simple mini-games, perfect to be played on your smartphone. Unfortunately, the simple structure of the game will easily bore users who search for more gratifying experiences. In the end, a fair free-to-play game to spend some funny minutes in our spare time, but surely not a must have mobile game.

A game that tries to tell a delicate story through a well-written narrative and a decent gameplay. If you don't mind reading a lot of text, and you are not bothered by a short and not replayable story, this game might be a correct choice.

Ravaged is an overall mediocre shooter which relies heavily on vehicles. Fun at times but mostly boring - it can be a suggested buy only because it's quite cheap.

Form is a far too brief experience to leave any kind of impression on the player.

Island Time is an interesting experiment, but its limited structure makes the game boring even after a few hours.

It's definitely not Mario Kart (but neither Crash Team Racing, for that matter), but Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3 Slime Speedway is enjoyable for Nicktoons' fans.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts excels in the art of sniping, but doesn't offer anything else.

KAMI turns out to be a simple and accessible title, featuring an interesting visual style. Despite its linear gameplay, this game will be able to entertain every type of player, from those who just want to enjoy a relaxing experience, to those who want to test their logic skills.

Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer tries to surpass the ambitions of its predecessors, but with a mix of new features that aren't always coherent with the spirit of the product itself.
