In its current state, Warframe feels like the foundation (or frame, you might say) of a game that might be really interesting at some point in the future. It just needs more of everything: more mission variety, more good enemies, more polish, more environments, more players.

Tra le novità tutto sommato apprezzabili anche la TWO Vision, una sorta di aiuto visivo per capire dove sia possibile ripararsi, quali siano le strade percorribili e dove siano le munizioni lasciate a terra dai cadaveri dei nemici, oltre che dove sia ubicata generalmente l'uscita della zona che si sta disinfestando. A proposito delle coperture: The Devil's Cartel spinge ampiamente all'uso di ripari assortiti, che sono un po' ovunque.

Devil's Cartel feels like a hollowed-out version of previous Army of Two games. The distinctive edges have been sanded down, creating something that’s not just generic but unrelated to what went before. The humour has been drained and long-time fans might feel aggrieved by the decision to sideline Salem and Rios in favor of these lame characters. If you absolutely must experience the mediocrity first hand, Army of Two: Devil’s Cartel is still probably best played with a friend... but friends don't let friends play tedious mediocre games.

At it's launch price of $15, HarmoKnight is one of the more expensive 3DS eShop games available - but it's also one of the best and lengthier ones. From start to finish, the experience is so enjoyable that it's easily recommendable to any 3DS owner with an affinity for rhythm games. If only Game Freak would step out of their Pokémon shell more often, because the result of the developer's experimentation is awesome.

Much like Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, this is a textbook example of a fighting game port done properly. Dead or Alive 5 Plus is the genuine article, matching and occasionally surpassing its excellent console brethren in nearly every regard. It may not turn as many heads graphically, but it plays and performs just like the big boys, and for a version that fits neatly inside your pocket, you can't ask for much more than that.

Gates to Infinity fails as both a Pokémon and a Mystery Dungeon game, and reaching its meatiest content requires playing through hours and hours of tedium. Its deep supplementary features can't overcome the fact that its moment-to-moment play feels so watered down as to be completely pointless.

Insomma, alla fin fine, pad alla mano, Terraria su console funziona davvero bene. Il controllo del personaggio viene molto naturale tramite il pad - anche perché dopotutto si tratta di un platform game bidimensionale, alla base - e le funzioni di costruzione sono ben coadiuvate da un accorto sistema di controllo. Il materiale extra aggiunto a questa versione - comprensivo di oggetti, nemici e un boss inediti - potrebbe persino spingere chi già lo ha affrontato nella sua prima incarnazione a dedicarcisi di nuovo, a seconda del tasso di assuefazione già raggiunto.

As with all sandbox games the narrative is of your own making but this is even more true of Most Wanted. The side-effect is that it can feel aimless at times. If you desire structure, if you wanted a game to be meted out to you, you might find its instant freedom somewhat overwhelming.

Even on its own, ignoring that it's a carbon-copy of last year's version, MLB 2K13 is a disappointing baseball game. The hard truth of the matter is that there is a rival game out there that schools 2K13 on every conceivable level.

Nonostante i nemici più interessanti facciano poche apparizioni, per quanto alcuni aspetti di Elizabeth e della trama a volte paiano non esplorati del tutto e sebbene il livello di difficoltà non sia, inizialmente, adatto ai giocatori più esperti... è impossibile non lasciare Columbia con un senso di straniante gratitudine.
