Competizione brings to console the experience that Kunos always had in mind to make it the Assetto Corsa that it was always meant to be, although it feels a bit limited compared to its big competitors.

This is a soulslike that borrows some elements from Sekiro and also adds its own ideas to the mix, but feels a bit watered down compared to other similar titles.

There's plenty of blood, stunning action, fun and a few puzzles in this game. It's Kratos losing his family, losing his mind and annihilating massive creatures. It's a God of War, and there's little we can say apart from that. You already knew if this game was meant for you or not.

Boomerang X is a very unique shooter where you use a boomerang. Clever and well design, it is a good option if you’re looking for something different and familiar at the same time.

This is one of the best graphic adventures we've played in the last few years, at least with classic gameplay mechanics. Great story, great characters, great puzzles… and one of the best closures for a trilogy we've seen in a while.

Please Fix the Road is a game that knows how to execute its concept in a minimalistic way. It doesn’t always work, but when it does it’s really satisfying.

LEGO Dimensions is the best toy-to-life game at the moment. The amount of franchises available and how enjoyable it is make it the new king of the genre.

Gathering Storm offers an interesting take on the formula, with less focus on the martial side of the civilizations, maybe to make easier to reach the modern eras. It is, overall, a very good expansion that brings more Civilization and gives it its own flavor.

Capcom enhances again its blockbuster, although perhaps the new features are not worth the price. If you have not played the previous SF4 versions, this is the best chance to try the return of the classic fighter.

These are three great games you shouldn't miss, so this is a great opportunity if you missed them before. The port could have been better, but having the Sly trilogy on a handheld is, indeed, tempting.

Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces is not a revolutionary expansion, but still a great amount of content for a fair price that will satisfy both casual and hardcore players of the franchise.

Dropsy is a very interesting classic graphic adventure, as long as you like bizarre story and characters.

NBA 2K21 feels like a new game on the new consoles. From the graphics to the gameplay, all the way to the new city, it all feels next gen. It still shares the micro transaction greediness with the previous generation, but that aside, it keeps to deliver an excellent basketball game.

Quotation forthcoming.

This game takes known ideas and merge them into innovative gameplay. It's addictive and fun, even though it feels sometimes chaotic, but it definitely deserves a try.

As a remaster or collection, we expected something better, but the quality of the games still is fantastic. If you’re thinking about (re)discovering this excellent trilogy, it’s not a bad option.

A very interesting experience for those who enjoy surviving, particularly if they're also looking for something new in the horror genre.

Loads of new content, with minor additions and huge ones, sticking to the core of the series and totally recommended for anyone interested in them.

Sword and Shield are a lot of fun and, at the same time, it’s also a disappointing evolution of the series. The core gameplay still works great, but Game Freak needs to listen to the constructive feedback and live up to the expectations of the franchise.

Skate keeps improving, but this new installment doesn't offer many new things.

If you've ever played and enjoyed a 2D platform game, you cannot miss this one. Another title that proves that this genre, long forgotten, is back.

It's one of the best game of the series, ideal for any mobile/touch device, that plays well and holds many hours of fun.

Ashborne Games and THQ Nordic offer a combination of adventure, survival and real-time strategy games set in the aftermath of World War I, where you must guide a group of soldiers across Siberia in a train. The game features a compelling narrative, a challenging management system, and a stealth-oriented gameplay, but suffers from a cluttered interface, a slow start, and some balance and AI issues.

Gust successfully reinvents the Atelier formula with a new protagonist, an expansive world full of secrets, and refined synthesis mechanics. However, its slow pacing, predictable story, and underdeveloped secondary characters prevent it from reaching greater heights.

Doom Eternal is also an excellent game on Switch, and even if this version isn’t the best, it is a good option for those who just want to play it anywhere.

Ultimately Trine is a title no fan of adventure and platforming should let escape.

This is an intense and satisfying adventure, full of challenges to guide us through its dungeons. It isn't revolutionary, but if you like the series, give it a try.

This is a bigger-and-better sequel that expands on pretty much everything the original did. If you enjoyed the first title, you don’t want to miss this one.

Ace Combat 7 delivers one of the most epic, intense and polished entries of the franchise. An excellent title that could only be improved by expanding its multiplayer and its VR mode.

This new episode still is a great baseball simulator, but we think fans deserve a truly relevant step forward. If you own MLB 14, you should think twice, but if you don't and you like baseball, you won't find anything better.

This is the biggest and the most challenging episode of the series, although in terms of performance is a little bit disappointing. Still, it's great game for any hunters out there with a Switch.

If you like real-time strategy games, or if you enjoyed the first one, this is a game you can't miss. It's not a revolution, but it polishes the original experience.

RiME is a beautiful adventure, very solid gameplay-wise and visually stunning. It isn't very original or challenging, but it has personality, and if you like this type of game we're sure you're going to love it.

Red Steel 2 is a great game that offers an efficient combination of sword and gun and won't disappoint those who try it.

This is a great example of how a remake should be made. It brings the series to 2017 but it's extremely respectful with the original concept. The best news, though, is that the three games are still a lot of fun, and you can enjoy them again looking better than ever.

It is more lucid and at the same time makes you burn more calories.

Even though it might be aimed at a less general audience, it's a very complete expansion, that lives up to the bar set for previous episodes.

Self-defined as a "slow game", The Rivers of Alice is a game with a lot of effort put into it, that creates an, indeed, slow but satisfying experience users will enjoy if they are willing to live a tale in the shape of a graphic adventure.

We've enjoyed the time we've spent with this 'complete edition' of Skulls of Shogun. It's fun, and ideal if you want to become initiated in strategy games.

Odallus is a game that wants to bring back the feeling of the first Castlevania but that's it. There's no innovation here, just the good ol' gameplay and MSX visuals. If that's what you want, it won't disappoint.

Rampage Knights is a very interesting old-school beat 'em up. It doesn't offer anything particularly original, but it's fun and addictive.

If you like puzzles, Circa Infinity is a game you don't want to miss. Original, well designed and challenging, it's an experience that will definitely test you.

Amanita Design has created yet another wonderful adventure. If you enjoyed their previous works or you just like the genre, Samorost 3 is a game you shouldn't miss.

Seraph's strengths are more relevant than its weaknesses, and those who enjoy a challenge and testing their skills will find a quite interesting title here.

Battle Chef Brigade is beautiful, original and works better than you would expect from a game that mixes such different genres. One of the last surprises of the year.

This is just a great version of one of the best remakes in the history of video games. It holds up incredibly well, and it’s one of those games everyone should play at least once.

Mr Driller is as addictive as it was on GameCube. If you’re looking for a puzzle game to play with friends, you should give this a try.

Foregone is a good metroidvania we can recommend to those fans who have already played all the great games in the genre and are still looking for more.

Despite its modest production values, Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes delivers deep and engaging 2D fighting gameplay, with a diverse roster of characters and robust online features. However, its lack of additional modes and unremarkable presentation may deter some players.

Promenade offers a charming and accessible platforming experience, drawing heavily from classic inspirations like Super Mario Odyssey, yet struggles to innovate beyond its references. While its simplistic mechanics are engaging and its progression smooth, it falls short in offering a truly unique identity. Despite its shortcomings, it's a delightful entry point for newcomers to the genre or a pleasant diversion for platforming enthusiasts.

On paper, Is This Game Trying to Kill Me? may seem very similar to Tormenture (which we also recommend), but in reality they are very different games. Is This Game Trying to Kill Me? is a much more puzzle-oriented game, and the horror is minor. It's a short (and also cheap) title with very clever and well-planned puzzles, a good setting, and a concept that works very well. It's about three hours long, which we think is fantastic for those who enjoy the genre, and it also has a free prologue that lasts about 30 minutes, which we encourage you to try whether you're convinced to buy the full game or not, since it's a separate adventure.

Windswept delivers a fantastic platforming experience, brimming with personality and well-designed levels, constantly surprising players with varied mechanics. However, its design falters under increasing difficulty, leading to unnecessary frustration, particularly for those pursuing 100% completion due to punishing checkpoint placement.

This classic remains a premier Zelda-style adventure, excelling with its satisfying mix of combat and exploration. Although the native 4K resolution and DualSense integration provide a crisp experience, the minimal technical updates feel disappointing. It delivers a great starting point for newcomers, yet fails to justify the upgrade cost for returning veterans due to aging assets.

This is a solid ARPG that shines thanks to its story, characters, setting and art direction.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion delivers a fantastic beat 'em up experience, brimming with undeniable charm for Marvel fans and genre enthusiasts. Its fluid, satisfying combat and diverse character roster shine, especially within the engaging Arcade mode. However, simplistic boss encounters and a shallow scoring system slightly diminish an otherwise essential and highly replayable brawler.

It is not as revolutionary as the previous game, its combat system has aged in this two years, and it lacks that freshness, but Fable 3 is still a huge game, able to engage the player and absorb him into the world of Albion. This one is better organized, first it shows us the many things we can do in the game world, and then it let us decide what we want to do. And it is still full of that fairytale magic.

Valorant is deep, complex and it always pushes you to do your best and become a better player. It has everything to offer great and intense matches, but it also requires and level of cooperation and commitment that won’t appeal all players.

If you want a break from action games and you're willing to give a visual novel a try, this is a good option, with interesting plot twists that will keep you playing till you finish it.

You might not enjoy its concept, but if you do, then you'll find a big game with a lot of possibilities. We hope Activision will keep on improving the series, but so far it's going the right way.

Still the game we played in 2014, and still a great game. There aren’t a lot of additions, but when rollback is implemented online matches should improve noticeably.

This is one of the best games on the Wii and arguably the best first-person shooter made for the console.

One of the most influential indie games arrives on Switch with a great version. It doesn’t offer anything particularly relevant if you’ve already played it, but if you haven’t, it’ll make you experience in a very interesting game the awful reality many people fight everyday.

Evil Empire delivers a fluid, stylish roguelite with excellent platforming, engaging combat, and strong audiovisual design that keeps each run fresh and rewarding, though it still lacks a bit of variety in enemies, environments, and builds to reach the very top of the genre.

Airship Syndicate delivers a solid RPG that you can enjoy whether you’re familiar or not with League of Legends, that also improves what Battle Chasers: Nightwar already did well.

Mouse: P.I. For Hire is a stunning achievement that pairs its masterful rubber hose aesthetic with frantic, modern gunplay. While the detective mechanics lack depth and occasional technical crashes mar the experience, the charismatic noir atmosphere and satisfying combat loop deliver a refreshing shooter that transcends its visual gimmick.

Ragdoll Blaster 3 is a classic sequel that adds everything we expect from one: more levels, more options and more ragdoll to "shoot". With a very competitive price and a very long duration, maybe its gameplay is a bit overused, but it still works.

This third entry evolves and improves the formula to make it engaging and fun. The new combat system and the great amount of mini games make this new episode a great option for Yo-Kai Watch fans.

Tales of Xillia Remastered offers substantial quality-of-life improvements like starting funds and battle retries, enhancing its robust combat and engaging characters. Yet, the graphical update is inconsistent, leaving large areas and secondary missions bland. The dual protagonist structure still requires two playthroughs for the full story, with one narrative path feeling less complete.

It's bigger and more complex than the original game, but it also has the same weaknesses. If you liked the first game, you'll like this one, and if you just want a very Japanese adventure, you'll be satisfied with Gravity Rush 2.

Behind what looks like a simplistic design, there's a game much more complex than you would think. Fun and addictive, it's a game that's worth a try.

Yes, it is yet another metroidvania, but even if doesn’t do anything particularly new or outstanding, it is a solid choice for fans of the genre.

Sword and Shield are a lot of fun and, at the same time, it’s also a disappointing evolution of the series. The core gameplay still works great, but Game Freak needs to listen to the constructive feedback and live up to the expectations of the franchise.

A fantastic musical adventure with its unique, wacky style that clashes (in a good way) with a cosmic setting and emotional themes.

Baseball fans don't have too many options available, and on Xbox One Super Mega Baseball is probably the best one so far, as long as they're happy with some Mii-like aesthetics.

Quotation forthcoming.

A good free-to-play game that, despite some flaws, is a lot of fun. It lacks some more game modes, a tutorial and more flexibility to set up matches, but it is a very enjoyable game for those wanting to give it a chance.

This fighting game offers deep, satisfying combat with a fresh REV system adding strategic depth, and a diverse roster of distinct characters, although its mode selection feels limited and its story mode somewhat uninspired; nevertheless, it shines online with smooth netcode and impresses visually with a unique cel-shaded art style and strong animations.

If you're looking for a great story, give OneShot a try. It won't give you many choices, but those you have will really matter. It's aimed at a certain audience, but this audience will love it.

Two of the greatest puzzle games join forces again with new modes for one or several players.

Dawn of War II keeps improving and shining. It is a game which will be liked both by seasoned strategy players and also newcomers.

This is a good collection with some big absences. We really appreciate what Capcom has tried to do to spice things up and help us rediscover these classics, although apart from those big names we also miss some extras to learn about the history of these arcades.

It works, entertains and reaches its objectives, but in future installments we'd like to see new elements in the formula.

It's probably not going to get the recognition it deserves, but it's one of the best metroidvanias we've played in the last few years. If you like the genre, give it a try.

A polished evolution of what we saw last year, as if PES 2011 was midway to the goal PES 2012 has achieved. It changes some of the controls, and greatly enhances AI, although it still has its flaws, especially with the goalkeepers. But, above all, PES 2012 is a really engaging and fun football game, with much more variety and charm than previous entries.

It is another step forward for the franchise, that will bring its fans the opportunity of enjoy this card-based game in a virtual way.

One of the last "must-have" we'll see on Nintendo DS. It's simply one of the bests and most original SRPGs right now, with many hours of fun waiting for you and very interesting characters to lead us through the plot.

It’s been a tough start, but this is the way to go. If they keep polishing the experience and adding content, Los Santos is going to be our home for a long time.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book delivers a creative masterpiece that redefines the series through its ingenious book-themed exploration. It provides exceptional variety with unique mechanics in every level, yet suffers from occasional design inconsistencies and sparse boss encounters. Despite the lack of local co-op, its charming stop-motion aesthetic and addictive replayability solidify it as a premier Switch 2 gem.

The remake offers a captivating atmosphere and strong narrative with beautiful, detailed environments and improved character models, but its puzzles remain quite simple and the performance suffers occasional frame drops on consoles. Overall, it is a faithful update that will appeal to adventure fans new to the game despite some technical shortcomings.

PC players can enjoy now the remake of the first entry of the franchise. It is a good port, and although the game has its flaws, it still holds up quite well.

This year’s entry is a very solid football game. It includes some notable enhancements on the playable side, and it also looks great. A safe bet for football fans.
