The second episode of this short spin-off is a little better than the debut one. In the first half of Give No Shelter there's some rushed moments and a pinch of groundless fan-service, but after that the story finally thickens. Let's wait for the last chapter and hope for the best.

9 / 10.0 - Dark Souls III
Apr 4, 2016

Miyazaki finds the best way to close the Dark Souls trilogy. In terms of gameplay, Dark Souls 3 has the same taste of the previous chapters, and is not original and fresh as Bloodborne has been. A great number of improvements, still, refine the formula and create another impressive action RPG. Dark Souls 3 is infused with a cruel beauty; its world -assembled with pieces from Lordran and Yharnam and Boletaria - represents a place where any fan would love to wander.

8.7 / 10.0 - DiRT Rally
Mar 29, 2016

An impressive driving experience. Leaving aside the "glam" tone of Dirt 3 and Showdown, Codemasters synthesize in a game the true feeling of the discipline and the thrill of offroead racing. The console version is technically impressive, smooth as the PC counterpart.

The Following is an example for anyone who wants to develop additional content. A year after the release, the development team gives us a new adventure that, in terms of quantity and extension, has little to envy to the original one. The plot, mysterious and intriguing, lets us discover little by little the customs of the Sons of the Sun, a sect of fanatics immune to contagion, and puts us in front of interesting personalities and revelations.

Overall, and the vote for this latest episode actually coincides with the global one assigned to this first season, Tales from the Borderlands is a bet won, a title that confirms Telltale's excellent skills and does not disappoint long-time fans and new patrons.

8.8 / 10.0 - Halo 5: Guardians
Oct 26, 2015

The fifth regular chapter of the Halo saga will certainly leave long-time fans satisfied, for some time looking for a multiplayer sector capable of rivaling that proposed by the historical trilogy. Abandoning the Armor Abilities and returning to focus on a pure and clean gameplay, Halo 5 performs a small miracle: it manages to distance itself far enough from the two "giants" that have saturated the market in recent years, demonstrating not only a strong character, but also the ability to adapt to the needs of a large segment of the public.

Super Mario Maker accomplishes what we might call a beautifully "democratic" creative revolution: Nintendo has decided to take an iconography built in thirty years of success and feed it to its fans, giving it the opportunity to use all its elements in an original way. He did so with a brilliant and well-thought-out editor, who boasts an out-of-the-ordinary usability.

If The Phantom Pain is really going to be goodbye, it's a farewell worthy of the name it bears.

9 / 10.0 - Bloodborne
Mar 24, 2015

Like a nightmare from which it is impossible to wake up, like the blood disease whose name it bears, Bloodborne torments the players, contaminates them and imprisons them in a world annihilated by pain.

8.5 / 10.0 - Dying Light
Feb 3, 2015

Dying Light is the impressive realization of an idea that with Dead Island had remained barely under the radar.

It is not only the confirmation that the Wii U offer is original, with character and personality: it is a gigantic banquet made of nostalgia and cocks to which you should not avoid approaching.

9.5 / 10.0 - Grand Theft Auto V
Nov 17, 2014

The Next-Gen version of GTA 5 is not a simple remake. It is indeed one of the most courageous operations of Rockstar Games, which has decided to propose - in addition to the classic experience of its masterpiece updated on the technical front - a whole new point of view for the series. The first-person view completely changes the rhythms of the game and the overall feeling of the gameplay, transforming Grand Theft Auto 5 into a product not only more enveloping, but with a new flavor.

8 / 10.0 - The Evil Within
Oct 14, 2014

The Evil Within is the most impetuous realization of Mikami's creative vision. Finally autonomous, yet so careful to recover fragments from the game designer's other hallucinate visions, the title tells a story that mixes alienating moments and oppressive clashes, strange hermetic symbolism with brutal violent exaggerations.

For the same price as the "smooth" version, available on Xbox One and microsoft's older-generation home console, PC users can take home the Ultra edition of capybara's shmup. It's not the additional characters that make this re-run more interesting, but the challenge rooms that ask to play with the unlikely temporal capabilities of the equally unlikely team of heroes. The "puzzle" component is enhanced, and in short an alternative approach to that of the main adventure, always well rhythmic, which prefers total blasting.

If you have never played Diablo 3, this "definitive" edition is the right opportunity to start: you will rediscover not only a deep and calculated hack'n'slash, but also one of the few exponents of the genre who happily managed to adapt to the control system via joypad.

1080p and 60fps (with rare drops). Better textures and shadows. But in the end, the most exciting part of this masterpiece is still the plot, the emotions and the tears. And one year after its original release, everything is still there to surprise you.

6 / 10.0 - MouseCraft
Jul 10, 2014

MouseCraft is a decent puzzle game, which will be able to conquer fans of Lemmings puzzles thanks to a decent variety of situations.

It would have been easy to "brutally" convert the already solid Guacamelee! to propose it even to those who had not played it on PlayStation Vita. And instead Drinkbox Studio decides to present itself with a very special re-edition. Although the changes to the combat system and the addition of some moves and the rabid Intense mode do not change the balance of the game, here there are new areas and an unprecedented boss fight, inspired and well built, which can almost be considered an "endgame" content by those who have already completed Juan's adventure.

Let's imagine an alternate video game story, in which Doom continued to sell millions of copies and the enthusiasm for Call of Duty died down inexorably. Wolfenstein: The New Order is like the son of this only imagined era, in which shooters are brutal, violent, direct, made of shots in the face and not headshots, and of gruelling clashes in which quintals of loaders are consumed.

9 / 10.0 - Mario Kart 8
May 15, 2014

Mario Kart is one of the things nintendo knows how to do best. This new chapter demonstrates this with obvious clarity, precisely because it is not content to revise the driving model here and there, to add some new power-ups and to improve the balance and the overall variety. Mario Kart 8, in addition to doing all this, pushes on the accelerator of design, proposing 32 tracks one more beautiful than the other.
