Dark Alliance returns after about sixteen years of oblivion. Tuque's work, which became an in-house development studio at Wizards of the Coast, despite having a rather grandiose name and glorious past, starts from scratch adopting some rather drastic (and not always winning) solutions, for the canons of the hack 'n' slash genre.

Reus tries to give back dignity to the "God Game" genre, landing on console three years from the original release on PC. A certain repetitiveness and the absence of incentives to keep high the player's attention undermine the - still fascinating - experience.

Six years after the original release, Mount & Blade Warband arrives on consoles, with its load of strengths and weaknesses. First among the latter is the graphics. The transition from the "Mouse + Keyboard" combination to the joypad, also, complicated the troop management and the precision of the controls.

Waiting for the fourth installment of the series, Capcom is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Dead Rising with a remastered version of the three adventures of Frank West and Chuck Greene. The renovation work does nothing but conform to today's standards, presenting the three episodes in high definition with a frame rate set to 60 fps.

Federation Force is an arcade FPS, designed for portable environment, and for cooperative multiplayer. It's perfect to spend few hours of fun in the company of three other friends, but not so great for the Lone wolves.

An interesting mix between tower defense and third person shooting, it's surely not flawless, but can still deliver some solid entertainment.

Everything is declined in a discreet mix between runner platform and rhythm game. Hextech Mayhem will keep you busy for a handful of hours and, at a budget price of just under 10 euros, it was difficult to ask for more.

Cyanide and Focus Interactive don't miss the appointment with the annual chapter of their series Pro Cycling Manager. The 2018 Edition offers a lot of features which are able to create a fully satisfying managing experience.

7.5 / 10.0 - Rise & Shine
Jan 12, 2017

Rise & Shine reminds us of the visual style and of the gameplay of Metal Slug series. It's hard, fulfilling and funny, but it suffers also from a lack of game contents.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Swindle
Jan 10, 2017

It's a different take on the stealth genre, one that really impresses the player with an interesting environment. Sadly, the controls lack precision, and that's a real shame for a game that requires so much rigor on the gamepad.

All in all, however, while not revolutionary, the expansion allows Hearthstone players to end the year on a high note.

If you are among the (still?) large group of fans who have devoured the first two episodes of MicroProse series, you will be happy to discover familiar feelings, and you'll almost feel like you never stopped playing.

7.8 / 10.0 - This Is the Police
Sep 27, 2016

This is the police is a bold game, innovative and creative. It has an impressive style and a compelling narrative.

7.8 / 10.0 - Yo-Kai Watch
Apr 20, 2016

As many other games developed by Level-5, Yo-Kai Watch is a well-rounded RPG, perfect to address a younger audience. On the long run, though, the battles become somehow boring and the narrative weakens.

8 / 10.0 - Chernobylite
Jul 28, 2021

Chernobylite is a title in some ways surprising: born from a small - but very talented - Independent Polish studio (those The Farm 51 already authors of Get Even) the work mixes in an inseparable whole different videogame genres. A horror / sci-fi narrative, not original but intriguing, role-playing elements, survival mechanics, a deep and layered crafting, a typical action of a first-person shooter and a micro management mechanic that perhaps invalidates a little too much the ambitious bet of the development team.
