Dystoria is a nice six-axis sci-fi shooter that offers some interesting challenges, but its mechanics and level design are flawed by several issues that make difficult to enjoy it for more than a couple of hours.

Despite its huge potential, LEGO Worlds it's still far from being a real alternative to Mojang's Minecraft. The latest entry in the LEGO franchise offers a nice game experience and a great price, but it also has several problems such as the lack of variety compared to the activities of previous games, a painful camera and some technical issues. If you can tolerate all those flaws, then you'd probably love the freedom to create anything you want with tons of different LEGO bricks.

Sombrero: Spaghetti Western Mayhem is a nice party game to spend your Saturday nights with your friends, but only if you own an Xbox One controller, given that any other USB controller won't work with the game. Things are even worse when it comes to online multiplayer, which is ruined by empty servers and nobody to play with. The lack of a single-player mode does not allow users to enjoy a great and fun gameplay by themselves.

The most-funded RPG on Kickstarter history debuts with some broken promises, such as the lack of an Italian localization, which was among the goals achieved by the software house. While offering a great adventure set in a huge fantasy world, the Xbox One version of Torment: Tides of Numenera lacks of stability and has several technical issues that can ruin the game experience.

Snipperclips is the perfect demonstration of Nintendo Switch's capabilities when it comes to local multiplayer: SFB Games' new puzzle game offers many fun stages to be played with your friends or when you want to have a break between a dungeon and a boss fight in Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

With Mario Sports Superstars, Camelot brings to the Mushroom Kingdom five of the most-loved sports that 3DS users can enjoy with Mario, Luigi and lots of other well-known characters. The different sports are good, but the game seems to be fun only if you play together with your friends or via online multiplayer, due to a lack of variety in the single-player activities.

Breath of the Wild is the first killer application available on Nintendo Switch, a true masterpiece that shows us once again how Nintendo is capable of creating a remarkable experience in such a common genre like the open-world adventures. If you own a Switch console, you can not miss Link's epic last journey.

After more than two years, the last episode in the Zelda franchise has finally launched on Wii U. Despite some issues with the frame-rate and the lack of the once-promised minimap on the GamePad touchscreen, Breath of the Wild is a true masterpiece that every Wii U owner needs to play before "switching" to Nintendo's newest console.

1-2-Switch is a great tech demo that shows what Nintendo Switch is really capable of. The 28 different minigames are easy to use and enjoyable, but only if you can count on a group of friends to play with. The launch price is perhaps too much expensive for a product that should have been included in bundle with the console, an issue that will probably prevent Nintendo from achieving the same success achieved by Wii Sports and Nintendo Land, which were included respectively with Wii and Wii U.

With Horizon: Zero Dawn, Guerrilla Games has created a fresh and beautiful sci-fi universe by combining a wild and decadent world with hi-tech dinosaurs-like machines. The action-RPG is one of the best-looking game ever made, and despite the lack of innovation and relevant plot twists, it offers a great mix of strong and mature storytelling, solid gameplay and breathtaking graphics.

Values such as honor, courage and strength perfectly exemplify the concept behind For Honor, another bold bet won by Ubisoft, thanks to an innovative combat system, as well as a rich and well-structured multiplayer mode. The lack of a more spectacular single-player campaign prevents it from being one of the first of 2017's true masterpieces.

Halo Wars 2 is a strategic overall good. Creative Assembly has managed to combine a very compelling and well-told storyline with RTS dynamics on the one hand a little too simplified by the standards of the genre, but on the other hand quite effective especially considering also the user base to which the production is intended.

Sabotage is not the best way to start the DLC Season for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, especially for PvP players. Only two of the four included maps are really inspired and actually fun to play, while the new Zombies episode called Rave in the Redwoods takes the mode to another level of craziness and cooperative play. If you loved the Zombies mode, then you must give it a try, but if you are just looking for some new multiplayer maps, then you should probably wait for a good sale.

While not being entirely original and fresh, the concept behind NiOh is certainly great. The new project from Team Ninja pays tribute to the soulslike genre by delivering an outstanding gameplay experience based on interesting mechanics and, of course, lots of pain. The plot may not be as rich and compelling as we were expecting after more than ten years of development, but at least most of the characters are well-defined and interesting. Despite all the flaws, NiOh laid the foundations for a new, fascinating franchise that could become one of the fiercest rivals for the future iterations of the Dark Souls saga.

Yakuza 0 is the best episode ever made in the SEGA brand, despite a troubled development process and its cross-gen nature. Thanks to mature and emotional storytelling, some great characters and a huge variety of content, the gameplay of this RPG is really unique. Unfortunately, the lack of an Italian localization could be a serious problem for those who are not comfortable enough with spoken English.

Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World gives a second chance for those who have missed the original Wii U version. The 3DS edition offers all the beautiful and brilliant levels already available on Wii U, with some small changes and new modes with Poochy as the main star. Perhaps not enough motivations to justify another purchase for those who already own the game, but definitely enough for everyone else.

Making a concise judgment to Civilization Vi is not easy. We could tell you that it's damn beautiful, but it would be an understatement. We could then tell you that it is damn wonderful, but it would not be the same correct. The only way to understand what it is and what it feels like venturing into the world created by Sid Meier is only one: to install and play it.

Legion is definitely one of the best (if not the best ever) expansions in recent years! World of Warcraft has finally received a breath of fresh air compared to the last disappointing expansion. We just have to hope that Blizzard keeps the Legion experience alive in the future and does not let it die like the last two, given that its goal - that is to make fans return to play - has been fully achieved.

Gears of War 4 is a new beginning for the saga, a title that does not overturn the classic canons in favor of a more traditional approach, but not without making small improvements. The campaign created by The Coalition is a blast from the past that will not fail to excite all those who have experienced the fearsome war against the Locusts in the last generation, but which in some cases shows itself to be perhaps too repetitive and devoid of memorable moments such as those of past episodes.
