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.

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.
