Non è niente di grave, ma solo avendo un PC con una scheda grafica recente potrete godervi un'esperienza senza intoppi. Ciò nonostante, Miasmata è comunque un'impresa di tutto rispetto, per la grafica ma soprattutto per il suo game design, così audace e al tempo stesso efficace. Se volete un vero survival horror, di quelli da giocare di notte, al buio, in completa solitudine, non cercate oltre. Il vostro brivido di classe è qui che vi aspetta.

Fieldrunners 2 makes no real attempts to redefine the tower defense genre, but it delivers a supremely refined modification of the formula that first made the first game so popular four years ago. The PC version is a little on the pricey side, but few tower defense games make such long strides toward appealing to both casual and hardcore gameplay.

Dungelot was the first roguelike I've played that didn’t leave me sweating each choice I made. Dropping the pressure will bother some hardcore genre fans, but this is a casual interpretation that’s definitely more fun the deeper you descend. Also, come on… playable dwarf brewers? That’s a class type we’re officially demanding gets more love.

Strike Suit Zero’s combat isn’t great enough to entirely compensate for its problems, but skill-based space battles sure go a long way. Noticeably repetitious levels and bad storytelling can’t overshadow the awesome feeling of piloting the Strike Suit, and simulation fans and less-hardcore players alike will find plenty to like in Strike Suit Zero.

Delightfully, The Cave is, in fact, a pure, puzzle-solving adventure game rife with funny lines and chuckle-inducing non sequiturs despite trying to disguise itself as a side-scrolling platformer. It doesn’t stay with you the way Gilbert’s classics did, however. You experience it, you enjoy it, but you’re not likely to catch yourself daydreaming about unforgettable sequences in The Cave the way you fondly recall Monkey 1’s insult sword-fighting or Monkey 2’s endlessly debatable ending.

Tokyo Crash Mobs is a creative reinvention of a 15-year-old puzzler design that isn’t perfect, but is certainly unique enough to earn your attention – especially since it’s only a $5.99 download. And if it doesn’t go on to become the eShop’s next bestseller? Well, it’ll still go down in history as one of the weirdest games to ever wear the Nintendo name.

In the end, Marvel’s The Avengers: Battle for Earth is just too limited to recommend. It was originally meant to be a playful Kinect fighter for kids, and the youngest set of gamers may well be able to derive some enjoyment from the simple inputs and seeing their favorite superheroes beat the snot out of each other.

Hammerlock's so-so campaign add-on for Borderlands 2 doesn't capture the strengths of the core game and other DLC.

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is one of the best RPGs I’ve played in years. Moreover, it joins the elusive ranks of the best PlayStation 3 exclusives, a group very rarely encroached upon by any studio Sony doesn’t own. Ni No Kuni is just that good: a beautiful mixture of the traditional makings of a JRPG combined with gorgeous graphics, a wonderful story, a great cast of characters and thoughtful gameplay. Better yet, I truly believe there’s something here even for those that don’t necessarily enjoy random encounters, level grinding and stat building.

Luckily, that tutorial time passes and the rest of the adventure settles into the right kind of punishing rhythm that fans of this painfully challenging type of game will definitely enjoy. If that’s not you, steer clear – you’ll just get frustrated here. But if you like a challenge and don’t mind a grind, you may be able to find out if Fang’s stuck-up attitude and selfishness carry him all the way through to getting his revenge.
