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.

Tour de France 2018 looks a lot similar to its predecessor. The new game mode is not very fun, and the graphics is average. The gameplay delivers some good moments, and some audio effect are good.

Dusty Raging Fist shows clearly its pros and cons. The game has a pretty decent character design and some good beat'em up sequences, but the narrative and the gameplay fall short. Plus, there are some irritating frame drop from time to time.

A pretty platform game, with some nice stages created by the community. Too bad for the imprecise control system and some bad choices of level design.

6 / 10.0 - 5 Minutes Rage
Mar 12, 2018

An interesting hybrid between a shooter and a party game, 5 Minutes Rage might be fun to play with friends for a short time. The gameplay and the level design, though, show some flaws.

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 / 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.

Pro Cycling Manager 2018 take some steps into the right direction. The new contract system is fun, the relationship with the sponsor is simpler, and the IA is more refinished as well. Still there are many flaws in quite every aspect of the game, but if you missed the game last year, you might want to check it out this new one.

6.5 / 10.0 - Exorder
Apr 29, 2018

Exorder is not a bad game, nor a masterpiece. It delivers a nice narrative and a good variety of units, but the gameplay is a bit dull, with no real elements that can push to create complex tactics.

6.5 / 10.0 - The Way of Life
Mar 18, 2018

The Way of Life is a fascinating parade of characters and sequences, delivering an interesting insight on three different periods of life. Too bad the game is a bit weak on the narrative side, while the gameplay shows some flaws.

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.

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

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.

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.

6.5 / 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.

6.5 / 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 - Son of a Witch
Jun 9, 2018

Look beyond the name and you will find a pleasant roguelike, with a casual flair and a complex gameplay. Attention, though: sometimes the procedural nature can bring an unbalanced level of difficulty.

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.

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 - 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.
