A bunch of good ideas, yet the puzzles feels too easy and repetitive. It's got a great customization potential, allthough it will probably lack the big community to support it.

If you like the management games genre, keep in mind that CITIES XL tries to simplify every aspect of the gameplay you are accustomed to, but you still might like it.

Xeen and Square Enix, in stark contrast with what the original development team did 31 years ago, played it very safe, with a remake that changes nothing in terms of gameplay, even where some corrections where badly needed. Therefore, this is nothing more than a modernized version of a good JRPG

Despite its many flaws, Crime Boss Rockay City is often fun and will make you wonder what would have happened if you decided to approach things differently. Unfortunately, the game feels not-so-polished and, apart from some technical issues on PC, its structure doesn't give enough credit to some of its good design idea.

TT Isle Of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 is moving in the right direction, but it still lacks many details. The foundation is good, the location is excellent, but the driving model and attention to detail need to be revised. Although the new development team is heading in the right direction to deliver a solid simulation system, there are still many steps to take to catch up with competitors. The introduction of an open world is highly commendable, but more needs to be done, more needs to be offered. The game is enjoyable to play but may not be satisfying for experienced players and is not that straightforward for newcomers. However, we are confident that this can be the beginning of a very interesting journey for the new concept of the TT Isle Of Man series.

Tomb Raider Underword: Lara’s Shadow is an interesting second DLC, presenting a totally different approach to the game, thanks to a gameplay in this new level, more action oriented. The abilities of the new main character are a nice introduction, but at the same time will split the gamers in fan of the fresh gameplay and detractor of the new direction. Nevertheless, Lara’s Shadow is a must have for everyone who want to follow the story of the beautiful heroine.

As the title suggests, this game game is extremely fun with friends, but forgettable if you are planning to play alone.

The Definitive Edition of Deep Sky Derelicts doesn't add much to the base game, which remains solid and enjoyable, but very repetitive. Consider it only if you don't mind repetition.

Good action game with a lot of cinematic-gameplay through Quick Time Event system. Poor variety and not so stylish graphics doesn't allow the title to reach other action games. Ninja Balde is just for truly cinematic action fun.

Phantom Brave: The Hermuda Triangle is just a porting of the original PS2 version. Some gameplay flaws keep the title far from NIS standards.

It's a plain horde mode. Not very creative, yet fun.

Yuke's tries to start over, but doesn't fully succeed. It's still a game full of content, but the new control and physics systems still have a ways to go.

Hitman: Blood Money Reprisal still stands as an excellent chapter in Agent 47's saga, taking us back to the heart of the '00s with more compact levels, though not entirely sacrificing the freedom offered to the player. The game has aged better than we might have expected, at least in terms of gameplay, and the mobile conversion work has proven to be quite good overall. Nevertheless, we hesitate to call this version the best way to do justice to the game, as it still remains more enjoyable in its console releases, of course.

It's a pity that Square Enix and Forever Entertainment had both settled for a (too) faithful remake of a game that was fascinating and difficult but also unbalanced and often unfair. Little things like new menus, new tutorials and a slew of QOL options could have made this a much better game overall. The way it is now, it's only recommended to hardcore long-time 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.

Nobody Wants to Die is just a pot-pourri of themes and scenes already read in old books, seen at the cinema and played in many other modern games.

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.

The Complex is yet another chapter in the long contamination story between cinema and video games. Wales Interactive gave birth to an interesting interactive experience, yet the writing could have been a little deeper.

Giraffe and Annika manages to show a couple of good ideas, but doesn't excel in anything.

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.

Family Ski and Snowboard is a good title, but it doesn't deliver anything innovative compared to its predecessor. The Balance Board will enhance the simulation feeling and immersion, though there surely are ways to improve the gameplay. Split-screen is fun, but you will miss an online mode.

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.

Exoprimal is a good example of an idea that should have probably spent some more time cooking in the oven. While its fun to blast your way through dinosaurs and enemies alike, the game is seriously lacking in content and originality, which could shorten its lifespan sensibly.

It lacks content and polish, yet it still could be funny with friends and familty.

Quotation forthcoming.

Despite the not-so-bad first impressions, Bionic Commando is a disappointing game. Linearity is not a drawback by itself, it's more about the way it has been pushed into the game, which often delivers loads of frustration... Long and frequent loading times, lousy A.I., and inaccurate controls just confirm that this is not a Capcom game, but more a Grin one. Let's hope Capcom itself will be on the next RAD Spencer incarnation: all it needs is some polish.

The Cruel King and the Great Hero shines with its captivating art direction, but lacks deepness in gameplay mechanics and would have enjoyed a far better pace.
