Malicious Fallen could've been a really fun and engaging experience, but it falls short because of all its small flaws. The combat system is good, but everything else would have benefited from more polish. At the end of the day, it's a quirk that will please fans of action games, such as Bayonetta and Devil May Cry.

A broken game, without anything good and imbued with a tragicomic approach to international economy and politic.

With its gorgeous, minimalistic visuals, Forma.8 is a cool metroidvania game with something to say. Backtracking is well-implemented, while the lack of a detailed map could be considered one of the few weak points of an awesome production.

Diluvion is a wonderful-to-see boring-to-play game, which squanders the chance to emerge from the depths because of its repetition.

A typical fan service product: probably the best Berserk video game ever published, but nothing more than a classic Omega Force musou.

Activision should probably rethink the formula for Call of Duty's DLCs. Nevertheless, Sabotage is a DLC with no real flaws nor weaknesses, some good multiplayer maps and an exciting zombie mode, but at the same time with no particular inspiration.

Horizon Zero Dawn is an instant classic: tough, challenging, huge, incredibly fun to play. It's the new definition of the videogame in the most classical way, where the center of the experience is the genuine entertainment of the player. There are some minor flaws here and there, and the narrative isn't as strong as it could've been, but nonetheless, it's the best action game of this generation.

This second DLC is not at all bad, expecially considering that the content is rather varied, original and challenging. There's something for everyone, for people who appreciate a good, tense story and for players who long for a speedrun. Combined together, the two Banned Footage DLC are a great addendum to an amazing horror game.

Dragon Ball Fusions is really nice game: despite being a little repetitive, rather slow-paced and overall simple, it has a deep combat system that blends seamlessly strategy and sheer chaos, making it a truly fun experience. Perfect if you're a fan of the series, or if you want some strategy in your gaming sessions.

Sniper Elite 4 is a first-class game, troubled only by some minor flaws, such as an Artificial Intelligence not always up to the task. If you love the tactical stealth genre and the sniper rifles, you'll be more than pleased: the game offers an inspired level design with endless possibilities for every mission, and a high replayability value.

How to Survive 2 is a watered-down survival, and that's not necessarily a bad thing; it also means that the game will please mostly someone who approaches to the genre for the first time. The gameplay is a little shallow and repetitive, but the coop mode can put a Band-Aid on things.

The Descendant is dubbed in English, but the interface and subtitles translation (in Italian) is excellent, and that's a very good start. The gameplay is rather original, different from what you can expect from an adventure game. It won't last too long (10 hours, give or take), but the experience is claustrophobic, cynical, disturbing and often surprising.

Technically it's not the best game around, but keep in mind that Earthlock is an independent production, and as such it must be treated. If you're looking for a light and not too demanding experience, with an intriguing battle system, fun to play from the beginning to the end, Earthlock is the right choice.

Phoning Home tries very hard to blend the survival genre with a narrative experience. In doing so, it manages to give the player a real reason to keep going on in his adventure but, at the same time, some gameplay dynamics are a little bit flawed. Anyway, there's some real magic in the connection between the two main characters, Ion and Ani, and that's something.

We wish we'd loved Double Dragon IV a little bit more. It can be chaotic and frustrating, with some obvious problems (no online play! How is that even possible?) and a pretty limited arsenal. But it has the true, genuine Double Dragon's DNA, and that's all that matters to a real fan. It won't cost you but a few bucks, and that's also nice.

The first DLC for Resident Evil 7 offers a new vision of the twisted world created by Capcom; some of its challenges will be perfect for whomever loved the Madhouse difficulty level, but the content itself is not much. We advise to buy it only with the Season Pass.

This physical edition of the new Hitman contains all the six episodes (previously released only in digital format) and a plethora of new content, including the soundtrack and the making of. Everything to make a Hitman - and the stealth genre - fan happy.

Nioh may not replace the Dark Souls series in our hearts, but it definitely has built a place for itself. Technically a little rough, still without PvP, this new title from Team Ninja could have provided more diversified scenarios, but it sure offers an excellent combat system and a wide and deep offering.

All in all, the Wii U version of Woolly World was a pretty nice game. We can easily consider Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World as a "Director's Cut" of the same game, available on a more suitable platform, the portable Nintendo 3DS; a title bound to charm adults and kids alike. Beware, though: there's cuteness everywhere.

Digimon World: Next Order will please old and new fans alike. It offers a curious balance between RPG elements and the breeding of little, nice digital monsters; it's a rather peculiar mix, something that's not within the reach of everyone. If you love the original material and can ignore its flaws, you'll find something to meet your match.

Resident Evil 7 is a much needed breath of (filthy and rotten) air for the series: it contains the basics of the survival horror genre, together with some of the gameplay pillars of the previous titles, and the result is one of the scariest experiences ever played. The campaign will keep you on the edge for more than 10 hours, and you'll have plenty of reasons for - at least - a second run. We can only hope that this is a new beginning for a glorious ser-- HOLY S**T A SPIDER!!!

Technically robust but not that impressive, Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star is a decent representative of the musou genre, with sixteen characters to take care of and a lot of battles to fight. If you truly love the original material, this game could be worthy of your time; otherwise, keep in mind that Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is on its way.

Despite an old-gen graphics engine and some balancing issues, Tales of Berseria is an ambitious title, with rock-solid writing and a rather deep gameplay. It could have been bolder, but the new installment in the Tales saga is an enjoyable experience, one that the fans of the saga will definitely love.

We're not too much passionate about Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Charter Prologue, at least not at full price. Dream Drop Distance is a really fun game, but if you already own it on 3DS, this new edition doesn't offer too much else. A Fragmentary Passage is a real blast, but it's over in a jiff. Could be worthwhile for hardcore fans of the saga, especially if on sale.

Atelier Shallie Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea is a nice RPG, not too difficult nor too complex. This title has the best alchemy and combat systems in the series, and it's a perfect fit for the newcomers.

Yakuza 0 is the perfect prologue to an underestimated - at least here in Europe - yet rich and complex saga. The story is really intriguing, albeit dedicated to hardcore Japan fans, with its dialogues in Japanese (English-subbed). The gameplay is genuinely, and truly, "Japanese". If you love Japan, this is a game you shouldn't miss.

A strange mix between a JRPG and a strategic game. Despite the first aspect has not been developed in a proper way, the second one represents the very point of interest of this strange and original product.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the epitome of how a remake should be made: it adds new elements and improves the original formula, without compromising the feeling and the fun of the original game.

If you love the open world action genre, the new year started great: Gravity Rush 2 improves upon the original title in every single, possible way, offering a deep, challenging and addictive gameplay. Warning: considering the peculiar nature of this game, the vote must be read upside down.

A Tale of Caos: Overture is hit and miss, with very good dialogues, puzzles and some truly genuine funny moments; unfortunately, the game is really short (three hours, tops), and the pixel-art graphics is a lot pixels and lot less art. Anyway, we can't wait to play the next title of this talented team.

Albeit a little pricey, Blizzard Mountain offers a completely new scenario, covered in snow and ice. Astounding to watch, it also represents a prominent shift from the old arcade-y driving model to something more challenging and satisfying. The career progression is surprisingly deep, and even if the mere amount of new content isn't as overwhelming as the original game, you'll find yourself knee-deep in the snow for quite a while. With a frozen smile on your face.

Fifteen years have passed since the last Commandos, and Mimimi Productions managed to revive the legacy of Pyro Studios. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is an excellent tactical game, deep and profound, albeit some minor and forgettable flaws (probably due to the inexperience of the German software house).

Space Hulk: Deathwing is one of the best action monuments ever developed around Warhammer 40K, and yet the unstable framerate, the uncertainties of the AI ​​and the poor structuring of the co-op drag the game a little bit lower than it deserved.

Super Mario Run brings on mobile the same formula previously seen on Nintendo devices, imbued with a run system that perfectly fits on touch screen.

The usual Telltale's formula, applied to a superhero story, with some smart ideas and a plot focused much more on Bruce Wayne rather than on Batman himself.

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon offer a great many new things, making them a must have for newcomers and fans alike. The younger audience will appreciate the lower than average difficulty level, while hardcore fans will like the endgame and its tough challenges.

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon offer a great many new things, making them a must have for newcomers and fans alike. The younger audience will appreciate the lower than average difficulty level, while hardcore fans will like the endgame and its tough challenges.

There's no denying that Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a fighting game with a lot of content, charismatic characters, and tons of special moves and skills. The main problem here is that it's basically a sloppy porting of the original PS Vita version, sealed and delivered as quickly as possible, to benefit from the recent announcement of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.

Despite a lot of mixed problems (predictable AI, awful control system, etc.), Let it Die is a breath of fresh air, a well thought mix between a roguelike and a soluslike. And it's a free to play game...

Steep is the perfect mountain simulator, with a perfect balance between a proper physics engine and an arcade and immediate, funny feeling.

Despite an intense backtracking and a large use of old assets, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is a good game, imbued with the epic spirit of the series. Beware the cryptic story, if you have not played the previous episodes.

A solid dungeon crawler, affected by some technical issues and a tasteless plot.

Even if The Last Guardian can sometimes get straight to our hearts, we cannot turn a blind eye to the frustrating gameplay. Its narrative fails to truly immerse the player, as the game mechanics lack to convey emphasis and empathy.

Dead Rising 4 does exactly what we were asking for. The game is fun, especially considering its sandbox soul, despite a slow beginning and a too-compliant difficulty level.

Tom Clancy's The Division: Survival does exactly what it promises, throwing players into a struggle to stay alive. The rules are well designed, and the (small) compromises only serve to connect the DLC to the rest of the game. Well done.

A perfect conversion that brings to the 3DS all the power of the Wii U version, keeping in mind the obvious differences between the two platforms.

The scars of a long and difficult development are clearly visible in the confusing plot and in the poor battle system. The game is spectacular and the open world area is well built, but it's not enough to bring FF XV to the top of JRPGs.

An honest remastered, not for those who have played the original games for sure, but everybody else should give it a chance.

A story full of suspense and black humor, besides intriguing enigmas, is what allows Yesterday Origins to be one of the best "point & click" adventure of the year.

A masterpiece. This is the way every software house should think and build a graphic "point & click" adventure game.

Goat Simulator The Bundle gives you the full goat experience. Still, the game tech side is rough to say the least, and the fun lasts just a few hours.

The gap was wide and had to be absolutely filled: after 6 years we see the arrival on PS4 of one of the most influential horror game of the modern times, Frictional's Amnesia: The Dark Descent, along with the expansion and the valuable spin-off by The Chinese Room. Grab it, if you love first person horror experiences.

Owlboy is a brilliant but short trip: a gorgeous journey into a touching story, dressed up in a metroidvania suit.

If you love FPS games and have some friends with whom to share hours of hilarious nonsense shootings, this is the product for you, definitely.

3D SEGA Classics Collection is a decent compilation, without heavyweights like Out Run or Super Hang-On, but with a strong personality as well.

An ugly UI and some gameplay simplifications don't prevent Transport Fever from being an interesting product, especially if you are used to filling your games with tons of mods.

Tyranny is an old-school RPG that inverts the roles and lets us play as a bad guy. Despite some small problems in the party management, the game is fun and features a great story.

Dishonored 2 is a big "more of the same". A gorgeous level design and an inspired art direction are the two main PROs; on the other side, the story is not as good as the previous one and the PC version really needs a patch quickly to fix a myriad of performance issues.

Watch Dogs 2 has its main target on younger players, but can be an interesting free roaming for older ones as well. Despite a boring story and a imperfect driving model, the game is enough fun to be worth your money.

Ziggurat is a very funny old school FPS arena, but in its chest beats the heart of a roguelike game. Every run is different from the other, and when you will meet the dark reaper the game will start over again from the beginning. If you liked The Binding of Isaac and also love the frenetic gameplay of DOOM this game is made for you.

Eagle Flight is a fun game, even if, at certain times, it's too trial & error oriented and might be frustrating for someone.

No Move support and just six hours of gameplay are the two main issues that prevent Robinson: The Journey from achieving a higher score. Wait for a cut price and for a patch that enables other peripherals than the DualShock.

EVE Valkyrie is an interesting, but controversial project. It's fun to play, but offers too little content to justify the full price.

Infinite Warfare is a nice and solid game, but it is far more daring in the single player campaign rather than in the multiplayer modes. A classic CoD, in a sci-fi setting.

Battlezone is a good game and one of the best experiences if you own a PlayStation VR. Anyhow, the difficulty level is unbalanced in single player, and motion sickness is beyond the corner if you are not used to wearing a VR headset.

Like a lazy student, King's Quest reaches the end making it homework without any extra effort.

The original fascination of Skyrim is fortunately preserved in this Special Edition. Despite some bugs and a non perfect porting, this version is a must have for those who did not buy Skyrim in the past.

After a few seasons focusing on other aspects of the game, Football Manager 2017 adds a new layer of depth to the match day and its AI. And it’s brilliant.

Despite some balancing problems, Titanfall 2 is a great game, with a solid single player campaign and a lot of fun when it's time to go online.

Farming Simulator 17 combines the simulation of life in the fields to an economic farm management. The result of this combination is a good game, despite a non perfect net code and some minor bugs.

A bigger version of the first episode, with a lot of new things to do. A fun game, even if affected by repetitiveness in the long run.

A great "quality" DLC, but afflicted by a poor longevity, even looking at the new PVP modes.

Skylanders Imaginators is fun and does not disappoint, though it's not particularly innovative and it may exceed in being too familiar to longtime fans.

Undoubtedly, the best 4X game so far. Civ VI is a total masterpiece and improves all the aspects of the previous incarnation.

An overpriced collection of tech demos that isn't worth the money Sony is asking for: at least a couple of them should have been developed as full games to justify the outlay.

Despite an aged graphic style, Ride 2 is an enjoyable racing game that corrects most of the issues of the first episode. If you love motorcycles in their essence, this is the game to buy.

Random battles and the low difficulty level do not prevent World of Final Fantasy from being a spin-off that is really well done and enjoyable. The perfect way to wait for FFXV.

Battlefield 1 aims at a very large audience of players, through strategic but always accessible approaches. Forget in a hurry the short campaign and join the spectacular multiplayer battles as soon as possible.

Batman Arkham VR is simply one of the best experiences for PlayStation VR, despite its brevity.

Rush of Blood is probably one of the best PlayStation VR games at launch: it's a perfect way to show what the Sony peripheral can do, especially if you have a pair of Move at your disposal.

Batman: Return to Arkham is a wasted opportunity. The two games are enjoyable even today, but the port by Virtuos Games is technically outrageous.

A puzzle game concealed inside a god game, with good ideas, though repetitive, and with an awkward control system via joypad.

A timeless masterpiece, here in its best synesthetic form, thanks to PlayStation VR.

Yomawari is imbued with a unique atmosphere, but it is too easy and repetitive to keep your attention for more than a couple of evenings.

A totally nonsense rhythm game, full of things to do and easy to understand, but very VERY hard to master.

Despite an imperfect procedural generation algorithm and some technical issues, SW2 is a fun game, thanks to its solid gameplay and a great co-op mode.

Despite some fps issues, XCOM 2 is as perfect as the PC version. The best game of this year, no doubt about it.

Mafia III keeps its promises in the powerful story and setting, but fails in getting the same results on the technical side, as well as in several details of the gameplay.

Gears of War 4 is exactly what a fan of the series was waiting for. The campaign does not introduce anything new, but it works and it's graphically astonishing, while the online modes are totally fun. Go and buy GOW4 without any hesitation.

The wait for the PS4 version has been rewarded with an almost perfect incarnation of Rise of the Tomb Raider, with a lot of old and new content and future PS4 Pro support.

A lot of bug fixes and a new multiplayer setup have leaded MKX on PC to its best level. Better late than never, but we suspect the community has moved elsewhere, by this time.

Color Splash is Wii U's swan song. The game is fun and brings some new (coloured) dynamics in a consolidated structure, despite some smear here and there.

Dragon Quest Builders is not perfect, but it is accessible and exciting. If you're searching for a Minecraft-like product with a nice graphic and some good ludic dynamics, this could be the game you should buy.

Eternal Crusade is a funny multiplayer TPS, with a lot of factions, classes and weapons. Unfortunately, the game has been released too soon and has too many issues currently. Unless you're avid fans of Warhammer, you should wait for a price cut and more than a couple of updates.

Abortion, women's rights and the fight against fascism are just three of the various themes that conduct the player along Wheels of Aurelia, a proud "on the road" adventure that tells about a difficult moment of Italian history. The game is fun, but you must be prepared to live the same dialogues many times to discover all the 16 finals.

Project Diva X is a good rhythm game, filled with an interesting variety of j-pop music. Unfortunately, the tracklist is limited to 30 songs and the sense of grinding is strong even after a few hours.

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is too easy and suffers of a lack of inspiration for what concerns the level design. Buy it if you are interested in the TV series, otherwise you should spend your money for something better.

A lot of new stuff, even if recycled by old content: a good way to entertain ourselves, waiting for Destiny 2.
