If you are looking for a sci-fi 4X where to spend the coming years of your gaming life, you just found it.

Shank 2 is a good sequel, but unfortunately it doesn't heal the wounds of its predecessor. The combat system has improved, with much more comfortable controls and a great variety of choice in the attacks. Unfortunately, once again, longevity is the weak point of the title and even counting every mode available it will fail to keep you busy for more than a few afternoons. Fortunately Shank is a great character: exaggerated and brutal, a combination that makes it really fun to play.

It’s beautiful to look at, and the idea it’s based on is pretty interesting. Unfortunately the magnificent game world and the interesting beast taming mechanics are not enough to cushion the repetitiveness of the main campaign. An uninspired storyline is the last nail in the coffin, for a game that, while still having solid mechanics, is just not as fun as its predecessors.

Amnesia: The Bunker introduces a brilliant gameplay with many new features for the series. It is a real survival horror with a great atmosphere and a superb concept. Too bad for the random encounters with the creature, often not well balanced.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a delightful return for the beloved series, with deep gameplay and vibrant worlds that make it a must-have on Nintendo Switch, despite a few minor design shortcomings.

Besides the extensive and well orchestrated gameplay, the title retains a high longevity, thanks to the new dynamism of the plot and editor joined to the multiplayer do the rest. It remains a regret for the haste in closing the development, which does not do justice to a game that deserved a better final processing. If you think you can overlook the frustration that will result from the large amount of bugs and you love the genre, Arma II is what you want from a simulation of war: exterminated, deep and dramatic. As for the rest of the users, Bohemia Interactive has made a very specific choice not to simplify the formula for casual gamers and risking to frustrate for everyone. We believe the target was hit, ArmA II is a game for a few, but those few will be more than satisfied.

Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider reminds of great classic games like Shinobi and Strider, demonstrating how the genre is still alive and kicking.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for PlayStation 4 is the same game that was released in 2011, nothing more. If you love the franchise, this episode is bigger and better than ever in everything. Otherwise, it's bigger and better.

The last episode of Life is Strange: Before the Storm is awesome. It resonates in the characters of Chloe and Rachel, building a story on few very strong topics.

The quality of its level design, the two-player coop and a wealth of stages, including the 3DS ones, are enough to recommend a purchase, but Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is sort of lazy if compared to other remastered versions of Nintendo old classics. If you have already played it before elsewhere, there is really no reason for a second playthrough.

Quotation forthcoming.

Nothing new, but what's here it's top notch, from the Active Time Battle System to the gloomy story of Cecil. Don't miss it if you're a JRPG fanatic.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is much better than its predecessor in all areas. The gameplay is well balanced, the duality of the gameplay works well and can give you reasons to play the game at least twice. The action is more intense, the scenery changes very frequently, and some sequences differ significantly from competition. Some players will find some choices limiting, such as the inability to use at will the cooperative actions, but we can assure you that the level of quality of the design and pressing action, tend to make you forget the substantial linearity.

Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss is a walking simulator with a compelling story, but it feels and looks like a game from at least ten years ago.

Download Alien Swarm. Do it, it's an order. It's one of the best freeware games of all times. It's fun, addictive and has great growth possibilities considering how actively the Steam community is already working on it. Thanks for the gift Valve, we love it.

In many ways Shadows of the Damned doesn't seem polished and well-refined, but Grasshopper's game is still a lot of fun, gore and charisma.

While it may be true that at the same price any Switch owner can buy bigger and more recent first party games, such as Super Mario Bros Wonder, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a love letter to the 3DS days and a very enjoyable ride from start to finish even today, for both experienced and green players. It comes especially recommended if you liked the third episode.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is a great return for the MMO made by ZeniMax and Bethesda Softworks. A standalone add-on for a brand new adventure, in the legendary island of Vvanderfell.

What a fun little surprise Sakuna Of Rice and Ruin has been. If you like 2D action RPGs and have always been curious about rice plantation, this is definitely the game for you.

We have tons of roguelites on the market right now, but Ship of Fools manages to feel unique in its own way.

Not your typical musou, and for the love of all that's good and beautiful in the world, this is truly a great thing. It still has repetitive base fighting mechanics and weak rpg element, but it's mix of genres and added ideas make it a fun action game for fans of the series and new players alike. Now we'd just like to see this kind of evolutionary push for the rest of the musou swamp.

Humankind is layered and a breath of fresh air for 4X lovers, but the annoying UI is the real enemy here.

Inazuma Eleven Go Chrono Stones will entertain all the fans of the series and of Japanese role playing games, even if it will do so thanks to a tried and true formula that keeps repeating itself since some time now.

It's a failry good DLC, yet here and there you can see it's been packed up to quickly, lacking the polish of the main campaign.

A good first step for a brand that still needs a lot of improvement to stand by the competitors.

Like the single games when they were first released, the Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection is not a product for the masses: it's pricey (too much so), hard and very lengthy, but these are exactly the reasons why some old timer fan will appreciate it.

Singularity is an entertaining FPS, full of variety till the end credits. It lacks some personality and solid graphics, but if you like the genre, this game won't let you down.

It's old style strategy, unforgiving, hard to learn and harder to master. If this is your kind of stuff, you'll love it.
