7.8 / 10.0 - Master of Orion
Nov 23, 2016

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.

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

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.

Sep 9, 2016

Tuque Games delivers a traditional Twin Stick Shooter: frantic and fun arcade action is what you can expect from Livelock.

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.

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.

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.

7 / 10.0 - Fortified
Mar 20, 2016

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Micro Machines World Series is a funny pastime and it represents the perfect opportunity for younger players to discover a wonderful, historical franchise.

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.

7 / 10.0 - Overwatch 2
Oct 18, 2022

As things stand, Overwatch 2 is not so much a sequel, but more an update of the first chapter.

Same old Pro Cycling Manager: the great managing experience is counterbalanced by a mediocre technical realization that, once again, stresses the team's inability to renew its creature.

Despite some good ideas related to the combat system, 7th Dragon III CODE: VFD, adds nothing particularly innovative to the dungeon crawler scene.

The usual Olympic "adventure" of Mario & Sonic is, as the previous one, a collection of minigames. Well: to be onest, is a collecton of the same minigames we played 4 years ago. And the input detection problems are still here. Think about it only if you skipped London in 2012 and you are an old fan of Track & Field.

6.5 / 10.0 - Nights of Azure
Mar 30, 2016

Fast-paced, agile and funny, Nights of Azure is a light J-RPG with an unexpectedly interesting (love) story. On the other hand, is too easy and tecnhnically poor.
