Donkey Kong is a pleasant expansion, with a gameplay changed and adapted to the needs of the characters. Inspired, colorful, passionate, he only sins in the repetitiveness of his enemies.

It doesn't have a great design and the puzzles feel sometimes even too easy, yet it's a deep and interesting experience, more suited to the old style oriented gamers.

Atelier Sophie 2 is a game created with longtime fans of the series in mind, but it hasn't forgotten the lessons of the latest chapters and still shows the will to innovate its gameplay.

Awakening is the biggest DLC Dragon Age Origins has ever seen. New lands, new weapons and new evils are the reasons to buy it for who loved the game, but same old graphics, the price and the classic gameplay won't make it more appealing for everyone else.

Shadowverse is a solid effort from the people at Cygames, a CCG with an original story, a long campaign and intuitive mechanics. There's also a copious amount of content in both single and multiplayer.

A great simulation, better every year. Control on the athletes is absolute, and fun for the fans is guaranteed.

Despite a few limits that stop it from becoming an instant classic, Eastward is a fun and relaxing ride that we believe it's worth taking for every 2D action adventure fan.

NBA 2K26 is the sports simulation we’ve known for years, with all its pros and cons: on one hand, the best basketball simulation ever created, with on-court realism that borders on perfection; on the other, an ecosystem that keeps leaning on microtransactions and a glut of content that doesn’t always balance well with the pure experience. It’s a technical masterpiece that constantly walks a tightrope between sport and business, between passion and profit. And yet, despite it all, it’s impossible to let go: when the ball bounces, NBA 2K26 is still the king.

An amazing remake of a great JRPG, with brilliant structural changes, deep gameplay, and a challenging campaign. In this new version of the game you’ll have more characters, more choices, a new storyline and even an extra dungeon. What more could you ask?

A Plague Tale: Requiem could have been the perfect sequel, but is held back by the same gameplay limitations of its predecessor.

Quotation forthcoming.

Solid, fun and compelling, Blur is a great arcade racing game offline but most of all if played online.

FIFA15 will probably remain the best football simulation on the market, with an improved gameplay compared to last year but, at the same time, it presents some problems encountered in the defensive department and goalkeepers. This year's FIFA is one step forward and one backward.

The brand Football Manager takes a step forward in the MMOG Era. Compelling gameplay mechanics will keep soccer fans glued to their PCs. The interface and the 2D graphics might be a drawback for FIFA and PES fans, but if you like the managerial aspect of soccer, this is your game.

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.

Metro Exodus represents an evolution for the series and yet remains faithful to its roots and tells another great story to remember.

Harada and his team decided to go back to the basics of what made the Tekken Series so popular among the fighting community, without completely abandoning the speed of the latest incarnations. The result is a finely crafted and neatly balanced title, that deserves a spot among the best of the genre. For a gamer who loves the competitive side of fighting games, this is definitely the best Tekken of the bunch, especially if said gamer loves to play online.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is a testament to the way platform games were made back in the days of GameBoy, with a lot of attention to details and pixel perfect jumps:in 2015 this is still the way to go for 2d games, no matter the platform and the budget.

We expected dragon riding to be quite better, but Dragonborn remains a great expansion pack, rich in content and epic scope. Especially if you played Morrowind.

My Steam library is full of Warhammer 40,000-themed titles; very few are passable, a handful are good games, and the circle of excellent ones is very small. Space Marine 2 now joins as well—and it is a feast for the eyes and a faithful reproduction of the universe created by Games Workshop, a dream come true for those who grew up with this saga. The gameplay is a refined version of that third-person shooter and action mix we already appreciated in the first chapter, with a combat system that is much more technical and complex compared to its predecessor. It’s not a perfect game, mainly due to a lackluster AI and overly chaotic moments, with messy situations that lead the player to inevitable button mashing, but it’s the best video game adaptation of Games Workshop’s grimdark universe.

If you were expecting a game on par or even better than Origins, you'll probably be a bit disappointed by this second chapter. A year and a half of development isn't enough to craft a masterpiece, even for Bioware, and the final product is plagued by bugs and repetitive dungeons. That Said, Dragon Age II is still a great RPG with a fantastic fighting system, a grand storyline and a lot of other redeeming qualities, and if you like the genre you should definitely check it out.

Despite the change in pace, graphics and tactics, Dragon Age II is once again one of the greatest RPGs of our time, thanks to an interesting storyline, fascinating characters and a fun, over the top dark fantasy combat system.
