The quality has been fluctuating from episode to episode, but the closure makes up for it, with some great moments and a satisfying conclusion (even if some may not be happy with the finale). Life is Strange is, in the end, a truly great story, well narrated and with high production values. Bravo Dontnod.

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire is yet another great Pokemon title, full of good memories from a decade ago but made anew by the X/Y engine, that makes the Hoeen region so vivid and luscious to look at. Not the best of the series so far, but surely deserves 50 plus hours of any Poké-fan out there.

Even though a lot of content in Pokemon Ultrasun and Ultramoon has been recycled from the previous entries, there's still a lot of new things to see and new places to explore, and, more importantly, a great deal of fan-service that will delight long time aficionados of the franchise.

Infinity Nikki is the ultimate evolution of the (incredibly) successful series that preceded it. It stands as the quintessential free-to-play dress-up game. While it is packed with currencies and gacha pulls typical of its mobile gaming roots, everything works toward building a massive, stunning wardrobe that’s truly worth exploring. The game features some of the most detailed outfits I’ve ever seen in a video game. Though unlocking them may require considerable time—and sometimes, at your discretion, real money—it simply means spending more time joyfully exploring its rich open world. There’s always something new to discover, and even after dozens of hours, secrets still await. Overall, it’s a wonderfully relaxing and welcoming game that keeps you engaged in a serene and enjoyable way.

A true masterpiece. On 3D, the brand can live a second life that all the more experienced players will appreciate.

An experience that touches the soul and the heart, about the most precious present we can make to other people: our time.

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.

Long, exciting, challenging, epic. All adjectives that fit perfectly to Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, revised, expanded and updated version of the BioWare classic RPG.

Ronimo Games has produced a title that is technically above the average of the titles WiiWare. Mechanics requires a lot of attention and the story is very funny. The only flaw of the game is tied to a limited longevity of the main challenges that is balanced with two players option.

With Yakuza Kiwami we can finally live the birth of Kiryu Kazuma even on PC.

Wii Sports Resort is proof of the full maturity of the Wii’s control system. Thanks to the Wii Motion Plus you can really do something unbeliveable in the past. Wii Sports Resort is a great title, which captures immediately casual and harddcore gamer. Unlike its predecessor, offers an high-level single player and you can play it for days. We don’t emphasize how much fun can give playing it in two or more people: it’s an experience that can make you laugh for hours and hours. Resort is undoubtedly Nintendo’s second great evolution.

It’s even better than the original game, thanks to the added campaign and the full dub. Definitely a must have for jrpg lovers on 3DS.

Yakuza 0 is a solid and fine port.

It’s an old game, that arrived on Steam lately and whose community has shrunk quite a lot. Still, even with its technical shortcomings and age, it remains one of the best driving simulators out there.

Panzer Corps 2 is a modern approach to the wargame genre, but it can easily become a new classic in the years to come.

Dark, intriguing, compelling: Inscryption is an absolute must-play.

Frozenbyte offers Trine 2 in the best way with only a few small regrets for some absences, that should be solved by a first update later this month.

Super high speed action gameplay and some rulebreaking techniques won't make the Gears of War fans too happy, still Vanquish is a solid shooter, somehow innovative. A shame for the background story and the characters, flat and unimaginative. If you love the genre and want to try something new, this is one to strongly consider.

A great, amazing, funny and really hardcore game: Unit 4, developed by Italian team Gamera Interactive, is the 2D "soulslike" platform you are looking for. Guaranteed.

Football Manager 26 is a new revolutionary beginning for the most important managerial saga in the panorama of football titles. An ambitious project that took the right time to bring freshness to a formula that, however valuable, required a more decisive turn. So many improvements that will delight long-time fans, trying to attract even new recruits, while a little regret remains for some technical issues that dirty an overall extremely satisfying experience.

New year, new Football Manager: this time the people at Sports Interactive added some great features in the scouting department, the medical center and dynamics, but old problems like the frequency of injuries and the poor media simulation still lingers. All considered, a very solid effort nonetheless.

Sticker Star is not exactly what many expected. It's not a return to the origins in full rule, in that the RPG elements are sacrificed, but not even a real distortion. The substance is that of a Paper Mario, however, it has a setting that some may not accept, and some of the limitations in the structure. But if you will understand the nature, you will see exciting ideas in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, you will realize that, behind an experience sometimes fragmentary, it hides one of the best adventures of this year.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is one of the best surprises since at least five years or so. It's clearly a work of love and passion, made by talented people who love JRPG of old and has the vision to offer a modern interpretation of them, palatable for both old-time fans like them and newcomers alike. And if that soundtrack doesn't melt your hearts, we really don't know what could.

A fast, fun and spectacular fighting game, rich in content and charisma. NetherRealm has a winner on his hands, but some not-so -smart gameplay choices and a wonky netcode stop it from reaching true excellence. Still, you can kick Supes'ass! That's enough of a reason to play Injustice.

Sleeping Dogs is a surprise so pleasing as it was unexpected.

Disturbing yet adorable, full of violence but at the same time tender, Fran Bow is an adventure with a compelling and sad story that we utterly recommend. The final part of the game might seem confusing and chaotic, but it's still a great moment that will hit you right in the guts.
