Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package is a big, catchy, and bloody game which shows both the pros and the cons of the original title and it mix them with some brilliant additional content. If you like the series and you didn't play the PC or Xbox One version, you should grab it.

4.5 / 10.0 - Rugby 18
Nov 6, 2017

Rugby 18 is a game with lots of issues: a bad AI, crappy dynamics based on button mashing, a broken commentary system, insufficient animation and so on. In a nutshell: this is not going to be your next rugby game.

7.5 / 10.0 - Mushroom Wars 2
Oct 8, 2017

An interesting mix between RTS and tower defense, Mushroom Wars 2 keeps on challenging with fast-paced, tactical battles. A suggested game, even if it can be a bit frustrating at times - especially if you are not so patient.

8 / 10.0 - Rabi-Ribi
Sep 1, 2017

There are cute bunnies and lovely fairies, but Rabi-Ribi remains a serious metroidvania, hard to master and challenging to complete.

7 / 10.0 - The Golf Club 2
Jul 8, 2017

The Golf Club 2 it is not a bad game, but it feels like it is developed for playing one single match at a time, rather than a long-term experience. The gameplay is still quite satisfyng, whilst the new single player and multiplayer modes didn't go entirely towards the right direction.

If you want to race the Tour de France on your PS4 this game is your only option. Still, the game feels repetitive after a bit, whilst the gameplay offers mixed sensations.

8 / 10.0 - Get Even
Jun 21, 2017

A dramatic story told in a very fascinating way. The shooting gameplay is quite a disappointment, but the high level of the audio, and the enthralling plot sets Get Even on high standards.

A good season finale with lots of emotional scenes and different endings. Still, the epilogue makes you wonder if this was an interim season, and what is the real role of Clementine, for a narrative not so clear.

7 / 10.0 - Human: Fall Flat
May 13, 2017

You can smash, grab, pull, push and doing some other stuff. Things don't come easy, though: Human: Fall Flat is a challenging game with a difficult system control, something in between Goat Simulator, The Talos Principle and Surgeon Simulator. A game that can be fun and frustrating at the same time.

The fourth chapter looks like a regular episode from the AMC series: a few zombies, a lot of dialogues, characters who act stupidly. Still, the ending is well-structured, and delivers some good moments and decisions. Not as good as the second episode, way better than the third.

6 / 10.0 - Syberia 3
Apr 26, 2017

A game that shows a clear artistic design and a continuity with the first two games of the series, mostly on the puzzles rather than on the narrative side. Still, there are many flaws: the gameplay is pretty clunky, the control system is far from being precise, the game design shows several bad choices. If you loved the series, you may think to buy Syberia 3. Be aware, though: the game is not well-polished.

Not a great effort: Above the Law does not deliver true drama, a good progression of characters, and some serious action.

A weird and pleasant puzzle game, which delivers a nice challenge. Too bad that game is rather short, and the difficulty level has some ups and downs.

9 / 10.0 - Thimbleweed Park
Mar 31, 2017

An adventure game with a style that is clearly recognizable, traditional and innovative at the same time, nostalgic and ironic, tender and sarcastic. A gameplay crafted by masters, in which even the casual mode shines, proudly closed in its 1987 mood, and yet so much modern and with many more things to say than many other point and click games. It is not the nostalgia who talks: it is the voice of a hand-crafted videogame.

6.5 / 10.0 - The Crow's Eye
Mar 19, 2017

A puzzle game with a pleasant narrative, and a decent voice acting. Still, the gameplay relies on puzzles not always satisfying, and the physics is not so precise in some occasions.

7 / 10.0 - The Wardrobe
Feb 25, 2017

A hilarious point-and-click adventure, with tons of quotes from movies, tv shows, and games, and funny dialogues. The gameplay is pretty traditional, though even too cruel sometimes. Still, if you want to have some fun playing a decent adventure, this is a good pick.

6.5 / 10.0 - A Normal Lost Phone
Feb 14, 2017

A game that tries to tell a delicate story through a well-written narrative and a decent gameplay. If you don't mind reading a lot of text, and you are not bothered by a short and not replayable story, this game might be a correct choice.

6 / 10.0 - Outbreak
Feb 4, 2017

Outbreak is a small survival horror that tries to deliver an intense co-op experience. The result is quite decent, though it seems that the structure of the game is quite rigid, especially if you look at the combat and movement systems. However, if you like traditional survival games, and if you have a couple of friend to play with, you can think about grab this one.

6.5 / 10.0 - Memoranda
Jan 24, 2017

Memoranda could be a lovely adventure, but it fails to propose an intriguing narrative and a fair challenge. Most of the time, it seems that the puzzles lie on a logic that does not fit entirely with what the game is showing, nor with what the characters are doing or saying. All in all it is a sufficient adventure, but it could have been much more.

7.5 / 10.0 - Beholder
Dec 21, 2016

Beholder delivers a tough experience from the narrative standpoint, and a challenging gameplay. The player will face hard choices, and will have to live with the aftermath of its decisions every single time. The graphic is appealing, though sometimes it feels like the burden that the player has to carry - especially with the high number of quests given at the same time - can be a little discouraging. However, this is an original and suggested game.
