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.

If it cost less and had offered the same content seen on the Wii U version, Ultimate NES Remix certainly deserved a higher rating. Unfortunately, the price is too high and, for obvious reasons, it lacks Miiverse support.

We are confident that in a few months Little Big Planet 3 will dramatically grow, but at the moment the product that is about to arrive in stores does not have the amount of content we hoped for. If, then, you are one of those players who always preferred the puzzles instead of mere exploration, you will be almost certainly be disappointed.

The Rabbids are a guarantee and the fun with them is assured, but Rabbids Invasion simply does everything wrong, making a journey with a bunch of funny bunnies something extremely boring.

Escape Dead Island had several interesting things to say. Cel-shading, mix of action and stealth with third person view and an island to explore, but in the end this Dead Island spin-off is repetitive and has many bugs and graphic glitches.

Shovel Knight is a little gem of an indie game, perfectly suited for short bursts of play and extremely enjoyable for both the veterans (who will shed joy tears) and the newcomers looking for a challenge on their 3DS.

Assassin's Creed: Rogue is not just a shameless commercial operation. Yes, it uses the same assets of last year and yes, it really brings nothing new. But the plot has been able to reveal some nice surprises, magnifying the lore of this famous saga in a way that we could've never imagined.

NS2: Combat proves to be a good shooter, fun and less demanding of Natural Selection 2, missing something in terms of originality. Its only real flaw lies in a rather high price.

Without saying a word, A Bird Story is capable of giving an hour of absolute carelessness, deliberately choosing to sacrifice a gameplay that is configured as a useful element to interact only between the narrative interludes.

As an enhanced and "beautified" remake, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth can also conquer those who have already spent tens (if not hundreds) of hours with the original version that came out three years ago.

It's hard not to get angry in front of the waste of potential we've found in Assassin's Creed Unity. We are faced with a title that, with a minimum of extra efforts and some more months of development, would almost certainly revealed to be a masterpiece.

Dragon Age Inquisition is not a common RPG: it's the furious scream of Bioware, strong enough to make windows and walls rattle. It is a demonstration of skill and power that proves that the Canadian developer still knows how to put heart and brain into their projects.

Jesse Makkonen undoubtedly has a great sensitivity, but throughout the whole adventure his limits as a one-man-show become evident. This is a good test, but if the young developer was surrounded by other highly specialized professionals, the result would have been much better.

This product by Ubisoft can not exempt itself from the chronic defects of many free-to-play titles, with intrusive in-app purchases and long waits that wear out the whole game experience.

Though it does not offer anything new if compared to previous entries in the saga or either recent JRPG from Atlus, Shin Megami Tensei IV is a rock solid role playing, with a lot of demons to catch and fuse and a good level of challenge throughout.

The problematic control system and unnecessarily frustrating sections are matched by only a certain originality in level design, which in some circumstances can propose some interesting situations from the point of view of the dynamics of the game.

The sudden increase in the level of difficulty, the amount not so huge of units and upgrades, the lack of multiplayer and the failure to exploit the 3D universe in which the game is set are not convincing at all. Nevertheless, the game is still a good space RTS.

Blood, zombies and blasphemy are a great starting point, but alone are not sufficient to raise Fist of Jesus to the honors of the critics. Too weird to please the mass audience, it's probably dull in the eyes of the fans of the short film that inspired it.

Lords of the Fallen is a small miracle when you consider the size of the studios that have worked on the project and the quality of the art direction and combat system, but unfortunately it does not completely shine.

Shadow Warrior on Xbox One is neither an example of great graphics, nor a deep shooter. Instead, it is an old-style FPS fun and boisterous, full of explosions and blood but also less trivial than you could expect.

Beautiful characters, beautiful dialogue, great atmosphere with thrilling sequences, mystery and some sparks of comedy. The classic by Jane Jensen is still a joy to play.
