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.

Everything is different from anything you've ever tried in your life. For this reason, it can split the community and open a debate about the meaning of the videogames, the philosophy behind them, and what can/should be told in a game. The new creation from game designer David OReilly is not suitable for everyone: only if you are willing to get involved, you will really have a chance to enjoy the concept behind it.

Outlast II is a huge step forward in both narration and graphics from Red Barrels' first survival horror experiment.

Fire Emblem Gaiden was the most atypical chapter in the series, containing elements which were later abandoned in the future iterations of the franchise. Thanks to its renewed graphics and some features that make its gameplay less cumbersome and inflexible, Shadows of Valentia could be considered the sum of what Fire Emblem saga has proposed so far.

The new game from Volition is a good action-adventure that's really enjoyable thanks to its twelve characters and funny actions. It is also full of incredible activities, but it's really a shame that there is no multiplayer mode to enjoy its colorful open-world along with your friends.

While the original game was launched in two different editions just a few months ago, Level-5 and Nintendo chose to release yet another version of the same game with just a few interesting additions. The software house could have released those new contents via DLC instead of launching a whole, full-priced package. If you already experienced the original game, the new addition are not worth the current price, but if you never tried the Yo-Kai Watch 2 adventure you should pick this new version to experience the "definitive edition" of the handheld RPG.

Under Night In-Birth EXE:Late[st] is a great to watch, fun to play fighting game that really shines when it comes to teach the player how to master its complex combat system, thanks to an amazing tutorial. Despite that, the game suffers the fact of being a niche product in a niche genre such as the Japanese fighting games, a problem that will make difficult to find any other users to play with.
