Flower is a unique title. The ThatGameCompany production embraces the idea of a synesthetic digital entertainment, linked to the poetry of form and color, cloaked in a dynamic sound accompaniment. Compared to the inner landscapes of Journey - often barren, oppressive, invaded by darkness and lashed by a cruel nature - here the wonder is disrespected in living and vital environments, made of unforgettable colors.

Ryse: Son of Rome is the most technically incredible title available on Xbox One. It is a display of graphic and communicative power, a lesson in style, and a clear example of the wonderful places where the Microsoft console will lead us. Unfortunately, it is also a rather boring title, too equal to itself, which fails to evolve. The combat system, in its foundations, works well: it is fluid and well guessed. But the choice to focus so much on Quick Time Events dampens too much the degree of challenge, and the structure of the campaign, excessively linear, is all focused only on the clashes.

Forza Motorsport 5 is a great simulator, supported by an immoderate love for the automotive world, and full of class touches (the partnership with Top Gear is very useful in this sense). It is also a somewhat “trunk” episode, with certain aspects developed in a hurry (the music is really terrible), which represents a good start but not a perfect lap.

Super Mario 3D World is undoubtedly the most important intervention of rewriting the classic dynamics of the series since the days of the Nintendo 64.

Enjoy the exaggerated, disproportionate, inordinate carnage of Dead Rising 3. The new Capcom title leaves the narrative permanently in the background and focuses all on the dynamics of free-roaming. The missions tend to look a bit alike, a bit of repetition makes its way after a few hours, but basically what matters is simply experimenting with new, sadistic ways to dent that wall of rancid flesh that runs through the streets of Los Perdidos. Dead Rising 3 arrives with a guessed structure and a co-op mode that entice you to devote yourself to the massacre, discovering the absurd combinations of weapons and vehicles invented by the development team. It will not be one of those experiences that remain in your heart, but certainly the game accompanies the launch of Xbox One in a more than dignified way, offering itself as a solid and fun pastime, not recommended only for those who really do not digest the philosophy of sandboxes.

Killer Instinct knows how to be technical to the core for those who want to deepen certain mechanics, but at the same time not unattainable even by those who do not know what a "frame trap" is.

LocoCycle is an out-of-the-box title, as original as twisted pixel's old works. But both The Gunstringer and 'Splosion Man worked far better than this irreverent "combat racing." Here the team tries to mix dicks, high-speed sprints, quick time events and absurd Live-Action skits. The result intrigues and entertains for a few half hours, but then begins the "descending phase" of the Parable of LocoCycle and the last part of the short adventure is too equal to itself and very tired in terms of playful solutions.

A Link Between Worlds is truly a bridge that unites two worlds. Not only those within the game, which represent light and shadow, good and evil, the continuity of life and the inevitability of death. The new Zelda also traces a connection between two very distant videogame universes: it strives in an exemplary way to make old and modern coexist, old and new.

The choice to propose the exact same title on smartphones, tablets and PCs is welcome for those who own Microsoft's mobile devices but makes it difficult to judge in an absolute way a title such as Halo Spartan Assault. If on mobile it is quite complicated to find such a well-groomed twin stick shooter, with a hint of texture all in all adequate and the game mechanics gnawed but well adapted to the controls via touch screen; on PC the market has already offered much better in the past, such as titles like Renegade Ops that have been able to age such a classic genre, pushing the accelerator on the graphic impact and spectacularity.

Lone Survivor is fully part of that line of productions that has resurrected video game horror in style. Together with Amnesia and Outlast, Jasper Byrne's survival game graces and rediscovers the classic rules of the genre, focusing everything on the unsound, on insecurity, on the mephitic doubt that the horror that surrounds us is only the deformed birth of a sick mind.

Ubisoft has succeeded in a small miracle: proposing an even better platformer than Origins. Rayman Legends surpasses its predecessor not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively. Everything from level design to the graphic sector shines with its own light, giving us not only one of the best platformers of recent years, but also a new spearhead for the softeca of the performance PS Vita.

Our judgment on Spelunky, even in THE PS Vita and PS3 version, remains unchanged compared to the one already pronounced a year ago on Xbox 360. A 2D platformer to love and hating in no uncertain terms, which bases its fortune on a precise gameplay like a Swiss watch, on an impeccable control system and on a graphic sector that will make many lovers of retrogaming and beyond dream.

Rayman squirts, jumps, runs very fast, and goes through -stage after stage- a wonderful world. Thus he discovers this dreamlike universe: a multifaceted and multicolored imagery, drawn with a love for details that seems unthinkable, but above all so attentive to enhancing the new, defining a microcosm full of strange creatures, debris, dead that celebrate. In addition to the glance, the construction of the levels, the positioning of every object, secret, obstacle stands out: the design of the internships interfaces perfectly with the many motor skills of the protagonist, both when taking more relaxed times and asking to explore every ravine, and when instead pushes him to a desperate race.

Dota 2 has been available for free for everyone for two weeks already and remains firmly at the top of the list of the most played titles on Steam. You have no excuse then: download it and try it because, even if it will not be to your taste, we are faced with a real mass phenomenon in the video game field and the most successful example currently of truly Free to Play model, where skill is the only thing that matters despite the internal market of buyable objects, which never go to affect the painsty balance of such complex gameplay.

Suitable for experienced explorers and for those who love to test their curiosity and gray matter, there is still regret for some problems that if eliminated would have given us an even better title and more easily advisable for purchase.

Wadjet Eye Games doubles the recent success of Resonance with an equally strong title. Primordia asserts itself in the post-apocalyptic environment, proposing a winning recipe based on retro style and through two ingredients: simple playability and an original script.

Okami HD has only one real flaw: some of you will have already played one of the two editions already published and will decide not to indulge in a new ride as Amaterasu. While the introduction of the Move turns out to be a rather limited and mostly skippable upgrade, high definition has allowed the already splendid artistic direction to touch unimaginable peaks. The visual spectacle that will form in your LCD or plasma TV is in fact difficult to describe.

Lucius is an adventure with great potential, badly exploited. Due to many technical flaws and a poverty of gameplay, the raids for Dante Manor will not be as pleasant as you might think in the first minutes of the game.

The Rockstar team has managed to revisit with great skill the work done previously by Remedy. Probably no one else would have been able to interpret in the same way the maturity and despair of an icon of other times. The gameplay, enriched by elements necessary to contextualize the product today, does not betray its origins in any way.
