Even though you play on the same few maps with similar items, there’s so much depth and strategy going on that no two matches of League of Legends ever feel the same. It’s distinctive style encourages surprise attacks and frequent use of skill-shot powers, and its colorful art style makes everything pop on the screen.

Mad Moxxi and The Wedding Day Massacre doesn't offer anything that I can't get out of the main story campaign. It's a brief collection of staid encounters, set in uninspired surroundings populated by unlikeable, uninteresting characters. I've come to expect a lot more than this from Borderlands 2, and I hope to see a lot better for the next DLC pack.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is a strange end to Square's trilogy. Its fresh combat system is a great success, and the well-designed world provides more than enough reason to play through the end of Lightning's journey. At the same time, the incredibly inconsistent tone and underwhelming plot caused any story-based satisfaction to completely elude me. Lightning Returns is a good game, but one that forgets that a big part of what make the Final Fantasy games so memorable is how they created characters we could care about.

Dustforce's delightful sweeping puts a fresh spin on the average platformer premise, with alluring presentation and exciting scenarios that help it stand out. Occasional control irritations and some unexplained elements make the brutal difficulty level feel all the more frustrating in spots, but there’s a satisfying challenge for perfectionists here.

Flappy Bird isn't a good video game. It's arguably not even a fun one. But its no-frills approach and exacting, relentlessly repetitious gameplay make it an addictive short-term distraction for the skill and score-obsessed. It's a bird that sings only one note, and though it sings it well, it does so while flying needlessly low to the ground.

Jazzpunk sets out to makes us laugh, and unless you're the sort of person who can't appreciate a well-executed fart joke, there's a good chance it'll do just that. It starts out strong with dozens of hidden gags hidden among the scenery, but unfortunately it loses its momentum once minigames start to dominate its three-hour running time.

Dungeon Keeper è purtroppo un gioco pessimo che nemmeno il fatto di essere gratis dovrebbe salvare. I tempi di attesa per la costruzione delle stanze (o anche solo per minare un blocco) sono estenuanti, non c'è varietà tattica e ha il non indifferente superpotere di annoiarvi prima ancora di infastidirvi con le sue microtransazioni invasive e controproducenti.

Rekoil rincula di brutto in tutto, dalla grafica dimessa al gameplay dimenticato. Multiplayer-only? Mod-oriented? Sono scelte o solo scuse per un FPS brutto venduto a troppo?

Battle of Z’s faithful models, beautiful settings, and chaotic action are an excellent fit for those seeking another tribute to the legendary anime and manga series. Fighting on both sides of every major encounter from the show is a treat, and overcoming the challenge of downing particularly difficult enemies is extremely satisfying, especially with a couple friends at your back.

Inutile girarci attorno: se vi piacciono i giochi Telltale “post The Walking Dead” e se avete apprezzato l'esordio di The Wolf Among Us andate sul sicuro, perché questo secondo episodio non vi deluderà e, anzi, potrebbe sorprendervi per la maggior sicurezza nella scrittura e alcune ottime trovate. Chi non riesce ad apprezzare questa tipologia di gioco non cambierà certo idea.
