Despite some flaws, like an improvable storytelling, One Piece Odyssey surely is the best One Piece game to date, even if the bar set by previous entries was pretty low to begin with.

Penal Colony confirms that the first Revelations was the right road to take. Good story, nice co-op system and the right pace make this first episode a demonstration that Capcom can overcome all its problems with the series, except the lack of real horror.

Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS is not just a shrunken-down version of its Wii U counterpart, but a title that puts more emphasis on the single player and on local sharing of contents. It's a pity, then, that no online sharing is included and that some features are missing. Still, a worthy episode for long time fans of the franchise.

With its original concept, Storyteller is one-of-a-kind and we really hope to see more of it in the future, maybe with a sequel or some DLCs.

Mafia: Terra Madre stands out as a mature and necessary work of interactive storytelling—one that goes beyond entertainment to become a powerful tool for critical reflection. It's an experience that unsettles, engages, and, above all, provokes thought: because to understand the mafia is to confront the deep-rooted forces that sustain it—and this game does so with rare courage and clarity.

Insidia is a pleasant surprise and ideal for every player that wants a challenge, that can manage to stand on its own with constant updates and with the support of the community.

NBA Live has found its own identity, instead of fighting the rival. The gameplay is perfect in short game sessions, but the long-lasting management practice has to be updated.

Mini Ninjas is an action-adventure-rpg with simple gameplay mechanics but with a lot of objects, spells and scrolls to be found. The final product is sometimes funny, but never compelling. That makes Mini Ninjas child-oriented; adults may like the visual style, but won't be entertained by its gameplay.

It's not the best fitness game out there, yet it delivers some interesting exercises, and Kinect undoubtedly makes it funnier.

Despite the new (and better) A.I., a good level design and customization possibilities, Army of Two: The 40th Day falls short on some of its expectations. The moral system isn't well implemented, controls feel often clumsy and graphics are not up to the standard. It's still a game to consider if you like action games and cooperative, but not a must have. It's a shame, especially considering the fact that some more care for details could've made it a very good game.

Among the launch games for the PS4, this is definitely a title to be taken into serious consideration. But, at the same time, you have the distinct feeling that the next few FPS for this new console will wipe out the memory of Killzone: Shadow Fall in a matter of two or three years.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for Switch 2 leaves a dual, almost suspended feeling. On one hand, there is the tangible pleasure of rediscovering a game that maintains a rare narrative solidity and an engaging quality. On the other hand, however, it is impossible to ignore how time has affected the formula, making certain moments more predictable, some mechanics more rigid, and some design choices less surprising than they were a decade ago.

The new HD version of HOTD is a perfect porting of the last chapter of Sega franchise, thanks to the good visual impact and well-implemented Move mechanics. The main mode is short but intense, and two additional chapters give more time to spend into the title. The price is competitive and the fun guaranteed.

The new PvE formula is fun and engaging. Rainbow Six Extraction feels and plays like a true Rainbow Six, yet it needs some improvements in its structures and challenges.

Chorus shines with a couple of very good ideas that, gameplay-wise, are very well crafted. The storytelling, the UI and the quest design, on the other hand, are far from perfect.

LEGO 2K Drive is a good racing/open world, where imagination is the only limit. Too bad for a certain underlying monotony.

An average game, with good pieces of art, nice dialogues and easy going fights. Unfortunately, it lacks depth and it's far too easy for hardcore gamers.

An extremely well crafted RTS that, despite the lacking of an actual and traditional campaign, shines thanks to a layered and smartly designed gameplay.

The Saboteur delivers some good fun with the atmosphere of its beautiful setting. On the other hand, gameplay could disappoint demanding players, used to higher quality productions. If you like free roaming and Paris, you should at least give it a try.

Control: AWE not only continues the story of the tormented writer Alan Wake, but find a way to create a solid connection between different worlds of different games. The future of Remedy lies here.

Less arcade than its predecessors, FIFA 11 finds on Wii a good balance between casual feeling and simulation.

The "nudist vampire clan bug" has been corrected, and now we can see Dawnguard for what it really is. Not a fundoshi commercial, but a decent DLC with quality content, a price that's a bit too high, and the usual amount of bugs (and since this is a Bethesda game, "usual" means "a lot"). Skyrim fans will probably love these quest lines as they loved the original game, even with their problems.

It's a pity that Thunder Lotus Games didn't get the chance to work on those aspects that keep Jotun from excellence, such as too much trial and error and boring exploration, because the art style and the fights with the titular giants would deserve a better vote. The unlockable Valhalla Mode is a welcome addition but it's not enough to recommend this game wholeheartedly.

Few additions and a great new tracklist make Just Dance 2017 advisable to purchase for another year. Companion App works very well. Just Dance 2017 brings fun again.

EA Sports FC 25 continues along the same path as its predecessor, but with a slightly faster and more decisive pace. The new focus on tactics could be the first step toward a more ambitious vision for the future of the series. Overall, this installment proves to be content-rich, relying on the usual winning features while introducing a new 5v5 mode that adds just the right touch to enhance the overall package.

Mario Party 9 changes its own formula with new mechanics. Finally more balance between luck and player skill - it is still one of the most fun games to play with friends, absolutely the king of party games. A good restart from the last chapter.

A fascinating and powerful editor, that gives a lot of freedom to its users. Right now the number of user created levels and games is still mediocre at best, but the quality is rapidly growing, and the future for Project Spark looks bright.

The first DLC of Assassin's Creed 3 refreshes the gameplay of the series with the stealth-based mechanics of the wolf power, a power that gives Connor a new set of abilities but without making him overpowered. The main mission lasts for a couple of hours, but there's plenty of extra content for those looking for the complete synchronization.
