8.5 / 10.0 - Lone Survivor
May 25, 2012

A deep, atmospheric game, with a great audio compartment and a story to discover: Lone Survivor is simply a great title, which manages to propose an experience to remember for a long time.

There aren't many other words to explain that Tales from The Borderlands was a hit, and arguably the best product churned out by Telltale to date. This last episode, then, concludes the story in a crackling way, touching the right strings and guessing many finds.

Motorsport Manager does all the little things that the players will like. The thing is that the game tries to create an experience that change throughout the seasons, and it proposes different challenges in terms of mechanic setting, commercial management and race control. There are some simplified aspects and maybe some imprecise dynamics but from an overall perspective this is a much-suggested game - especially if you love managerial games focused on sport.

6.5 / 10.0 - Bohemian Killing
Nov 11, 2016

An utterly original game, which is partially ruined by a rather repetitive gameplay, which suffers from the presence of hundreds of loading times, and other flaws. Still, the title has its charme, and it can be suggested to the players who love story-driven games.

7 / 10.0 - Lantern
Nov 23, 2016

A pleasant and immediate experience, enjoyable with a VR headset but also in a more traditional way. The game does not deliver a real challenge, but it want to represent a way to relax, and enjoy the beautiful landscapes included in the four levels. If you are looking for a game that reveals itself as frantic and adrenalinic, Lantern is not your pick. However, if you want to explore a pleasant and quiet world, it might be just what you are looking for.

7 / 10.0 - Shu
Nov 24, 2016

Shu has pretty and nice visuals, and a solid gameplay, which mixes classic dynamics with original features, and shows a good level design. The game is suggested, even if it lasts only a few hours and it does not present such strong incentives to play it again.

7 / 10.0 - How to Survive 2
Dec 5, 2016

How To Survive 2 is a pleasant game, especially if you play it with your friends. The game shows a more structured gameplay and well-designed crafting system. However, there is a general lack of information during the first hours, and the resources - especially food and water - sometimes are really hard to find.

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.

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.

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 - 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.

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 - 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
