    A great step forward for wrestling game that we think will convince the fans. Those who haven't played wrestling games too often have a great chance to approach them again, as WWE 12 changes a lot in comparison with previous Smackdown vs RAW entries.

    It's a great game with a great offer. There's plenty of options and a very interesting 'free-to-play' concept, since you can buy new 'machines' buy always trying them before deciding. If you're looking for a realistic pinball game, this may be your choice.

    Pirate Warriors 2 goes a step beyond in its search for action, and it manages to get it right. Unless musou games put you off, this is a great choice for One Piece fans.

    This is the best main entry of the Neptunia franchise so far. It wanted to take a step in the right direction and it certainly does that.

    HyperParasite is a solid roguelite with some good ideas and also some flaws. Even so, it’s an interesting title for those who like the genre, particularly in coop.

    The Longest Road on Earth is an interactive album about life, that stays with you even with its flaws.

    A loving return to the classic stealth strategy formula with beautiful maps, a smart tactical pause system, and modern visuals, though its steep difficulty curve, design quirks, and lack of optimization may alienate newcomers and frustrate even veterans at times.

    Damon and Baby delivers a charismatic twin-stick shooter experience brimming with imaginative lore and striking artistic personality. While the character-driven narrative eventually captivates, the journey suffers from frustratingly imprecise platforming and a sluggish opening pace. Despite these mechanical flaws and inconsistent sound design, this remains a refreshing, albeit unpolished, alternative to contemporary genre staples.

    At the beginning it can be frustrating, but give it some time, find the control scheme that works best for you, and get ready to enjoy DOOM in a way you’ve never done it before.

    The Bard’s Tale returns with a solid adventure. It gets the most important things right, but there are some smaller details that need polishing to become an outstanding entry.

    This is your typical farming game, but full of new ideas and mechanics that add depth and diversity to the classic experience.

    Shadow Warrior 3 polishes its gameplay to deliver a fun game full of gore, but its lack of depth might make it a bit repetitive for some players.

    Lego Indiana Jones 2 is a decent sequel, keeping the style of the original without changing the formula, which makes sure it will be enjoyed by those who liked the first game, but won't surprise anyone.

    No Straight Roads has fantastic ideas, but it fails to make good use of them. Even if the foundation is interesting, the execution ends up delivering tedious interaction and imprecise controls.

    Design-wise, this is one of the best and most revolutionary Pokémon games, but there are way too many technical issues.

    It is a step in a different, more strategic direction of the franchise, that works quite well and may catch not only the regular player, but also the casual one.

    A game with few new features compared to the 2005 version, but with great, realistic graphics, which look spectacular in 3D.

    Blackwood Crossing is full of good ideas, but its execution isn't so good. Beyond the colorful graphics and art style, the game feels empty, and even mediocre.

    Even though it struggles sometimes to keep the story flowing, it's a great option for those looking for graphic adventures and, above all, a promising first title for its developer, KickBack.

    Attack of the Earthlings is a solid and fun turn-based strategy game, with some ideas that could've been further developed, but very good nonetheless.

    It is definitely not a game for everyone, but we appreciate Nintendo made the effort to bring such a Japan-oriented title to the West. It's weird, fun and can last ages, so if you're looking for something different, this one can be a great choice.

    Taking into account that those games have around ten years behind them, there's a pretty good adaptation to the standard visuals we enjoy today. You'll find some issues with the interface and navigation, but it's the price to pay to enjoy and relieve these great infiltration titles.

    It manages to become very addictive, and covers its weaknesses –like the visuals– with a great gameplay.

    It doesn’t do anything new or revolutionary, but it does prove that the classic beat ‘em up formula still works, and if you just want to beat everyone up, 9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a solid option.

    Although a bit too ambitious if we compare the expectations and the final result, Dead Island is still a great game, with a lot of hours of fun, a great ambiance and a good combat system which provides a lot of little pleasures when killing zombies. Its cooperative mode and lenghtly story make it a recommended buy.

    Below its apparent simplicity and nostalgic, even archaic style, lies a game that offers constant challenges.

    Days Gone is a very enjoyable game, with a beautiful setting, some interesting ideas and a good story, but Bend Studio has bitten off more than it could chew, and it shows. It takes too many things from open-world adventures, and the execution doesn’t always live up to the expectations. Overall, it’s entertaining and solid, but a less ambitious project would’ve end up being better.

    It's simple but hard to master, and eventually addictive. A very nice experience, together with a very nice presentation, make Wake the Cat a recommended game for those who are looking for an entertaining app.

    Quite a frantic arcade racer that genre lovers will like. However, it is a bit monotonous and its tracks reuse a lot of sections. It also lacks a split-screen multiplayer option, but still it is a fun game at a very affordable price.

    Although interesting and addictive, Tribes of Midgar tries to do more than it can, making itself look flawed against its competition.
