Juan has come back and Guacamelee! 2 is another great metroidvania, full of action and with a fast pace.

Persona 5 Strikers is a must have for Persona 5 fans, and it proves good enough to fill its shoes - even if it's a musou.

Ultra Street Fighter IV proved to be exactly what we expected, featuring a well balanced fighting system, but disappoints a lot when you take into account the actual contents offered, which turn out to be way too few.

Reanimal once again proves, if proof were even necessary, the strong authorial identity of a development studio finally unleashed, free to express itself without softening or diluting its vision. Reanimal is an auteur horror experience: deeply cryptic and not easy to decode, yet a bold and genuinely rare work within its genre.

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.

Though it does not offer anything new if compared to previous entries in the saga or either recent JRPG from Atlus, Shin Megami Tensei IV is a rock solid role playing, with a lot of demons to catch and fuse and a good level of challenge throughout.

The main flaw of Halo 3: ODST is a lack of courage. Because with ODST Bungie could have tried to break away from the main saga, to give the ODST greater dignity and recognition. Although, it's still a very good game, full of spectacular moments and fun to play with a multiplayer segment of exception.

It's just incredible how the plot can keep you nailed from the start to the very end, how the characters feels real and the whole experience so polished. A must have.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is a better remake than N. Sane Trilogy. It includes all Crash Nitro Kart tracks and an improved adventure mode.

Blasphemous 2 is a sequel that knows how to improve a brilliant concept, previously held back by a dull combat system and a under-developed skill system. The art in the game and the monster design shine less in this second chapter of the series, but variety is now assured.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection finally allows Western players to access the entire Ace Attorney saga, including Ace Attorney Investigations 2, the last spin-off that had remained unreleased in our region, at least through official channels. And that's a great thing, as it is one of the best-written chapters in the entire series. The only flaw in this collection, if we want to nitpick, is the lack of any noteworthy new content to enhance it compared to the original releases. However, considering that we're talking about a very niche series—one that, until recently, many thought we would never see again in the West—it would have been hard to ask for more from Capcom. We'll see if, now that the entire series has been released on modern platforms, Capcom decides to continue it in some form, especially given that the last original episode dates back to 2016.

It's hard not to fall in love with Persona Q, with its charming cast of characters and addictive combat system. Clearly, this is a labour of love form the crew that brought us the Persona games, but it's mainly directed to the ones who already played the original games.

Kingdom Hearts III is graphically exceptional, with a brilliant art design, and its narratives bring almost everything to an end. Rhythm and direction, however, never meet the expectations the saga has established. The music does not fill what had been an essential role in the previous chapters. In the end, the game lacks a real "wow" moment, that certain something to be fixed in the fans' memories, as well as truly immersive and convincing Disney worlds.

Resident Evil 5 carries on the same action path started with its predecessor. The main innovation is of course co-op mode, which delivers good fun if played online, but due to glitches in the friendly A.I., spoils the single player experience. Die hard fans will be happy to know that the story goes deep, and it's well connected with the last chapters of the series. Graphics and sound are simply stunning. If you miss the old survival horror genre you will surely be disappointed, but Resident Evil 5 is still a great action game, especially if enjoyed all the way through with a friend.

NOVA 3 is a great game: a long and entertaining story, a solid gameplay and a huge multiplayer section makes this title one of the best of its genre.

Angry birds Space is a very simple game, but still fun.

The console version of Darkest Dungeon retains all of the good that we experienced on PC months ago, while adapting the controls for the better without a mouse: the overall experience is probably still more intuitive on PC, but the bonus of cross buy and cross save make the Sony versions hard to not recommend.

Splatoon 3 confirms that this is one of the freshest and funniest franchises in Nintendo's portfolio.

Aside from the new dpad mapping, gameflow and some new graphic elements, there aren't too many innovations in this last chapter. It seems that the best football simulator is getting hard to update.

Don't miss the opportunity to play one of the best chapters in the series.

A great, but not perfect game.

Ruthless and emotionally destabilizing, This War of Mine is the merciless portrait of what evil man is capable of causing. The conflict saw through the eyes of civilians is terrible at least as that experienced by soldiers on the fields of war.

If you didn't have the chance to discover life is strange on home-console, now you have the right chance to do it, with a very good porting, with new social elements perfect for the perfect platform.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is a good add-on, with a new realm, main quest and characters, but still not up to the Morrowind standard.

Sine Mora is a shoot 'em up, a classic genre here refreshed thanks to the ingenious manipulation of time and especially to a refined technical sector. Lights, explosions and huge airships follow one another relentlessly on an always inspired and colorful background, while we're moving in a frenzy trying to dodge thousands of enemy fire coming from every direction. The game is not recommended to the detractors of the genre, which would find the high level of difficulty too much frustrating. All the high score lovers should instead pay these 1200 Microsoft Points with a smile on their face.

Not without its light flaws, this great Need for Speed return is an exciting new point of view on the world of Turismo racing, mainly thanks to a well-crafted driving model. If you like the races, and you’re not a simulation fanatic, it’s the game to have.

You can look at Royal Revolt! by any side that you will always notice the attention that developers gave to every single detail in the game. Battles are fun and you'll need to face a lot of different situations in order to win and proceed to the next stage, and the level-up system for the hero and for his troops is well balanced and challenging. The game is free, fun is guaranteed. What are you waiting for?

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered is the first modern chapter of the series, great graphics and all the contents we remember from the past is the right receipt to bring back to life this game.

MLB The Show 20 is the perfect game for baseball lovers. We wish we could create our own stadiums, but despite the lack of this feature, the gameplay is fun and every detail is wisely crafted.

Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139... doesn't fix the original game's flaws but, from a technical stand point, serves finally justice to an underestimated and obscure cult

If you expected a traditional JRPG, Final Fantasy XIII will be very disappointing for you. But that's not what Square Enix wanted it to be: this thirteenth chapter is a completely new point of view for the saga, which was in terrible need of a new direction. The plot is intense and built on an enjoyable smaller scope, the battle system is deep and satisfying, and technically (albeit a couple of unexpected flaws) the game delivers. So that's it, a NEW Final Fantasy: if that's what you were waiting for, big time.

The quality of the tables in Zen Pinball brand is almost always indisputable. Star Wars Pinball is no exception, although there aren't many new elements compared to all the other collections available on the market.

Fifa is now the better soccer game on PC, too. Fifa 11 is a conversion from Fifa 10 next-gen, with some improvements and corrections. Is a competitive product, with a great online offer.

Thanks to the presence of a fun career mode and a quantity and quality of content quite good, the game turned out to be just perfect for single player. If 100 octane gasoline runs through your veins, this is your game of 2015.

Episode 6: Hokkaido is a brilliant and good looking episode which offers you a lot of replay value. An absolutely good ending for Hitman Season 1, indeed.

Curse of the Vampire Coast is a good addition for Total War: Warhammer II.

Two Point Campus is as crazy as it sounds. Its layered gameplay mechanics mean a lot of fun for people who enjoyed Two Point Hospital, despite their repetitiveness.

A must have for all 2D side scrolling beat 'em up lovers, with a lovely graphic style and a perfect gameplay.

Borderlands has been a great game. First of all we have to reward the willingness of developers to propose something different, that we dare to define original. The RPG-FPS hybrid gameplay works perfectly and playing the co-op mode online, the title takes off, ensuring many hours of fun. Combine this with its excellent graphics, in its way kind of unique too, and you'll understand the value of a fresh product, suitable for all those who love to spend their time online.

Danganronpa Decadence is an almost flawless collection for visual novel fans, containing three of the best games in the genre in one slick package. Ultimate Summer Camp is a weak addition, but you won't be mad at it for a long time.

Dragon Quest Builders is a natural Minecraft evolution, but in its huge world became quickly redundant and repetitive. The RPG component is enjoyable, but quite limited.

Transistor is an example of style and courage, an action RPG with an intriguing combat system, a fascinating story and characters. This game is also simply sublime in the field of graphics and sound. A great game by the creators of Bastion.

Lumines Electronic Symphony is a mind-blowing and shining puzzle game by Ubisoft.

Splatoon 2 is a clear evolution of the first chapter but it isn't as innovative as it has to be.

Mio: Memories in Orbit is an elegant and rigorous metroidvania that puts all its focus on exploration and precision. Its world is fascinating to traverse, the movement system is solid, and the bosses provide a genuine challenge. The narrative, however, remains in the background, and the combat system lacks meaningful evolution over time, staying consistently minimal. This is a game that asks a lot from the player and doesn’t always return an equally strong emotional engagement, but it still manages to leave a mark thanks to its visual identity and the coherence of its design.

The story, content and gameplay are unquestionably of a good standard, but it was not what we wanted from the final game of Kiryu Kazuma, who we were so fond of during these 12 years. In our opinion it was reasonable to expect something more, especially in the combat system that instead of going forward took a step back, especially if compared with Yakuza 0, which on that front (but not only that) was the pinnacle of the series. The purchase is still recommended in an essential way, especially if you are a historical fan, in the meanwhile we'll waiting to find out what'll be the future of the brand without Dragon of Dojima.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land remains a must-play platformer for Switch and Switch 2 owners. While it doesn’t quite reach the heights of Super Mario Odyssey, HAL Laboratory delivers a stellar 3D reinvention of Kirby. The Star-Crossed World expansion blends seamlessly with the base game, adding variety and longevity. The only drawback is a price point that feels fair for the content, but was poorly communicated by Nintendo.

UFC 2009 Undisputed is a great and at the same time really difficult game. Different from the other titles of the genre, you won't find energy bars or any other interface, making this game a hardcore simulation. Suggested for anyone who doesn't get scared by a strong experience, as this game is not intended for the faint of heart.

We didn't expect a game so close to the original for PC. Blitz is well made, surprisingly able to launch us into battle in a much faster way and able to deliver the same emotions of the main series.

Age of Mythology: Retold is the perfect blend of past and present. The development teams wisely chose not to overhaul the foundations of one of the best RTS games ever made, focusing instead on fine-tuning and making significant improvements to the gameplay, which is now much smoother and more modern. Alongside these enhancements, the game boasts excellent graphics and a much more functional and intuitive user interface. The only aspect that ties Age of Mythology: Retold to its original era is the tone of the various campaigns, with a style of writing that may no longer appeal to today’s players.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster happen to be both the best version of the game and a giant missed opportunity. The complete graphics overhaul is very welcome but it ends highlighting even more the age of the AI routines and the inaccurate hitboxes, which are both straight from the 2006 version. Still a good and goofy action game overall, but compromises have to be accepted to fully enjoy it.

Just Cause 2 is an excellent game with some weaknesses that lower the overall quality of the game. But if you love extreme gameplay, you should to give a chance to this action and discover how beautiful Panau can be.

Darksiders is a fairly good porting of the console experience, more fluid and good looking thanks to the various filters. It's still a shame that PC public has waited so long, without getting anything in return for the patience.

NHL 13 is not a revolution for the series , but it's definitely a nice step in the right direction for its future evolution.

A challenging game that delivers a first class co-op experience: it can be frustrating from time to time, but it is very fun and pleasant if you play it with a friend.

The PS4 version of Terraria adds bigger worlds, new enemies and new bosses to an already addictive formula, and certainly represents the best place to begin if you still haven't tried any previous edition. Nonetheless, it is not worth your money again if you already own it on any other platform.

Sleep Attack TD is a pleasant surprise in the landscape of the mobile gaming market. Featuring ingenious and innovative gameplay, it will give a hard time to all, especially to the experts of the tower defense genre.

Want something to soften the wait for Dark Souls 3? DarkMaus is the game for you! A miniature Souls-like game, and even a pretty inspired one, considering its resources. It’s hard, compelling and dark. Try it if you love challenging titles.

King of Cards is the better Shovel Knight campaign yet, and a great goodbye to this wonderful series of games. We really look forward to Yacht Club Games' next work, be it Shovel Knight 2 or else.

Valfaris: Mecha Therion changes the genre, simplifies the game structure and loses the complexity of the first game.

It's great when it comes to shooting techniques and weapons, it's bestowed with a desperate and truly well crafted atmosphere, yet it falls short on delivering a great finale to the saga, at least naratively speaking. The good multiplayer side adds even more value to it as an FPS, making it a great choice for every fan of the brand.

Takes everything that made the first game good and makes it better, adding Co-op to the mix. Probably the best tower defense game around.

When old game mechanics and modern sensibility merge in such a glorious way, a smile appears on the faces of a million JRPG fans: Octopath Traveler is an excellent throwback to a time when a whole world was stuffed into a tiny cartridge. After the two Bravely games, we really hope to see more in the future from Takahashi-san and his team.

Triangle Strategy is the long-awaited successor to the excellent Final Fantasy Tactics, and a game that deserves to be played not only by turn-based RPG fans, but also by anyone who loves a dark and mature story and very well-written characters.

This is undoubtedly an amazing collection. In just one BR Disc you can find three of the most fun and entertaining piece of work of PlayStation's history.

Who cares about the episodic release when Hitman Season 1 can offer a compelling, smart and entertaining experience, just like Hitman games should do? The gameplay is strong and, despite a plot that is lacking deepness, the season is fun and some maps, like Sapienza and Hokkaido, have a lot of replay value.

The Swapper combines smart puzzle solving with deep theme like the actual meaning of human nature and the essence of conscience. This game truly deserves your attention.

Not the greatest PC port around, but it's pretty well optimized, contains all the DLC and it's still one of the best action games around. All for a ridiculously low price.

Its derivative action formula offers a compelling and long lasting experience. Great graphics and a top level design immerse the player in a beautiful dark world, populated with terrific creatures. Despite the lack of innovation, MercurySteam delivers a great action game.

Rise of the Godslayer succeeds in improving a fairly good MMORPG. Fans asked for more content, Funcom delivered. Khitai offers a lot of things to keep you busy and the alternate advancement system gives players even more options to customize their characters.

Darksiders is a great start for this 2010. A long story, a complex and engaging gameplay and a beautiful character design make this games a big debut for Vigil Games. It lacks of originality, but it's recommended to everyone.

Starfield aims to be Bethesda Game Studios' magnum opus: it's compelling, entertaining and familiar: it feels like spending time with a longtime friend. This also means that it is inherently old in its structure and in how its universe reacts to the player. It's a shame that it comes with some unforgivable sins, like how dull the planet explorations is, but you will spend tons of hours in the game nonetheless. [Review in Progress]

The real Alan Wake has come. A great game not only from the narrative prospective but also from technical one, without weakness of the previous version.

A fun new version of the OlliOlli games, but not without problems.

Although PS VR feels like it didn't age so well, Moss: Book II improves what the beloved original game did and is one of the best game for this platform to date.

A very good sequel. It doesn't add much to the formula, but it polishes everything down to its very core, resulting in a more accomplished and entertaining action free roaming.

We had to wait quite a bit for this game to arrive on our shelves, but it’s finally here, and it’s damn good. It’s the usual “Yakuza good” we’re used to, but this chapter is even shinier and choke-full of Japanese culture than the others. All with the typical over-the-top storytelling and fun gameplay. If you love the series (and there are a lot of reasons to do so), get it. You won’t be disappointed.

Jusant is a puzzle game about climbing that offers the player a variety of beautiful scenarios, a wonderful soundtrack, and a captivating narrative while addressing important topics with grace and sensitivity.

A great game, plenty of funny puzzles and platforming. Visually stunning and with some enjoyable boss battles, Outland sometimes lacks in rhythm and narrative depth.

There are some inconsistent puzzles, a lot of spoilers on major plot points of the two previous entries and the 3D graphics are at best forgettable, but Zero Escape Zero Time Dilemma excels at what the fanbase wanted: telling a gripping story in an original and brilliant way. Not to be missed if you loved the first couple of episodes, which you should absolutely play before this one.

Life is Strange: True Colors is the best adventure in the LiS franchise, by far. A warm story about empathy, and the effect of it, that will leave a mark in your soul.

GRIS is a wonderful and essential game about loss and pain that tells a cryptic story about a girl in search of herself. It is another success for Devolver Digital.

We liked this game on PS4, and it’s still good fun on PC, where it’s even better due to a pair of new content expansions and some graphical tweaks. Basically, it’s still a fun experience with friends, with a lot of content and some good ideas, but it’s still pretty weak when played solo and has quite the repetitive structure. If you like top down shooter give it a chance.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a little gem, ideal especially for the more nostalgic players, but it could also engage anyone looking for a retro-flavored challenge, complete with scores and rankings to climb at every stage.

Torchlight isn't the average Diablo clone. Developed by some of the guys behind the first to chapters of the original game, this is more likely a brilliant tribute to the king of the genre. Some flaws, like the lack of any kind of multiplayer and a mild difficulty level, won't spoil hours and hours of slashing fun, given away at a great price. Don't forget the editor, which is already giving its first results. If you're a genre fan don't miss this one.

FIFA 19 is a great game which can provide tons of fun with its huge number of modes. Champions League this year is the "icing on the cake" the series deserves.

Ape Out is a brutal and primordial smash'em up, a gorilla race on a jazz base.

Intuitive, faster than in the past and enriched by the brilliant idea of the 3 styles, Mortal Kombat X remains well-anchored to the foundation laid by Netherealm, but manages to improve them and to remain one of the most spectacular and exciting fighting games.

An amazing "vania" game, and one that should really be more popular considering its qualities. The structure is the one veteran gamers know and love, but it's been improved with a complex combat system and deep leveling and ability trees. Quite the treat, especially considering the low cost. It isn't perfect, but, if this is the level of this team's first project, we can't wait for what's next.

Another great adventure: the good variety of puzzles, the storyline and small innovations ensure a high-level experience.

It may have some online problems at the moment, but it's still the best sports game around. Period. With impressive graphics and a sharp gameplay, NBA 2K15 is still the king of the court.

For the ones who don't own a Vita (and, unfortunately, there's a lot of them), Danganronpa 1-2 Reload is a great chance to experience two of the best visual novels around at a bargain price. But for the ones that already played them , this PS4 package doesn't bring anything new to the table.

Limbo on Nintendo Switch is a great porting for one of the greatest independent video games ever.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the third and final gem on the Nintendo Switch crown for this 2017, after Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey: it tells a moving story with easy to love characters and, most of all, mixes a great combat system with an amazing sense of discovery.

Nintendo, Intelligent Systems and WayForward hit the mark (almost) across the board: Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp is a product with attention to every detail, an all-round remake that preserves all the good that was in the original products and makes them also attractive to the new generations thanks to a series of precautions and improvements to the user experience. Whether you are looking for a strategic hit and run that introduces you to the genre or one that is only apparently soft but capable of making you sweat a lot, here you will find lots of content and gameplay as punctual as a Swiss watch, which makes the balance and the plurality of approaches some of its cornerstones. We weren't particularly impressed by the new art direction and we would have liked to have access to the two episodes of the series released on Nintendo DS as well, but these are small details in a picture that has left us very satisfied. Now, to what saint do we have to devote ourselves to have a remake of F-Zero?

If Shovel Knight was a great homage to the NES era, this is an amazing homage to the Genesis and Master System era. It's what Sonic should be in this day and age, and it's quite funny that its developer wasn't SEGA, but an indie team with a lot of passion for the blue hedgehog. It has brilliant level design, great and tight gameplay, various playable characters, and good pixel graphics. What more do you want? A good storyline? Not there of course, but we don't really care considering the rest.
