Tales of Arise is able to please both longtime fans of the saga and newbies: accessible, aesthetically satisfying and always with a smooth pace, it has managed to refresh the combat system with an excellent compromise between action and strategy , without however setting aside the parametric component: an adventure that absolutely deserves to be lived.

Mad, funny guy Wario. It's new adventure is a game, inside a game made of over 200 other crazy mini-games... with multiple characters and modes. You can't miss it.

Dice Legacy is a new, solid chapter in the history of survival RTS. It is very original and combines the gameplay of a city builder with the use of dices and a ring-world setting. If you are looking for an RTS with a good dose of challenge and mystery, this one is for you.

KeyWe is a frenzy couch co-op game. Its levels could be very tricky and can be really appreciated by completionists. This game has a lot of potential but is restrained by bugs and too little focus to more casual, party game and social mechanics.

Encased is an interesting CRPG set in a dystopian alternative past that pays tribute to the original Fallout 1 & 2 for gameplay and core mechanics. Good storytelling and visuals. The combat lacks a bit of depth and strategy, but overall a good gaming experience.

Quake Remastered is the best way to enjoy a great classic from id Software. Despite the old school graphics, it’s fun and rewarding, especially thanks to the two unreleased DLCs developed by MachineGames.

Sonic Colors Ultimate is a remastered version of one of the best 3D Sonic games released over the last fifteen years. Resolution, frame-rate and graphics are up to date and with several add-ons this game feels brilliant and very enjoyable, becoming a must have for every Sonic the Hedghehog fan.

RiMS Racing is a very innovative title in terms of driving but immature in terms of contents. Its excessive difficulty and the lack of motorbikes and circuits won't have the other developers to be worried for this new competitor. Still, we cannot forget it's just the debut title in the two wheels market.

A lazy collection of two problematic titles videogames of the strategic genre and role-playing games. Unfortunately, not enough has been done, despite the fun gameplay.

Inked: A Tale of Love is a small and intense love story that will lead you to discover what you are willing to do in the name of this noble feeling.

Another crazy circus of characters by Goichi Suda, but this time even the beam katana of Travis Touchdown can't save No More Heroes III from falling down to the bottom of the chart.

An engaging souls-like Metroidvania that delivers some clever game mechanics and gorgeous dark twisted visuals.

Naraka: Bladepoint represents an interesting twist in the Battle Royal panorama, but it falls short in some of the core mechanics. The fluid combat system is great, but it becomes chaotic in more hectic situations. The visuals are stunning and music is on par. The business model is quite aggressive for a game that is not free to play.

The turn-based combat system is deep and well-managed, though not immediately intuitive and easy. However, the title is not free from technical defects due to some clipping problems, which do not spoil the experience.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a disappointing cooperative horde shooter in every respect. The gameplay is flat and derivative while the story is not interesting enough to keep the player entertained until the end of the campaign. Playing with friends can be fun at times but the Aliens franchise deserves way more.

Tim Schafer did it again. Psychonauts 2 is another old-school 3D platform from the creator of Monkey Island and Brutal Legend, that delivers a funny and engaging adventure with plenty of unforgettable, crazy characters.

Hoa is a good puzzle-platform with enchanting artdirection, though too derivative of Studio Ghibli’s stylistic elements. Hoa is also a wholesome game without death or danger, but in doing so it forgets to add interesting gameplay alternatives to truly replace conflict.

Tribes of Midgard has a lot of interesting ideas and systems, but it seems to fall short on implementing them all in a way that provides a better gameplay experience. The game, which is clearly designed to be played in a group, plays better with a custom lobby, where all the barriers imposed by the story mode are lifted, allowing the player to actually enjoy the game. The graphics and music are pleasant and never tiring. Sometimes less is more.

Certainly Road 96 isn't a game for the masses, it's a bit of a niche. But this does not mean that it cannot please those who want to try something new and special. If you like compelling and captivating stories, backstories and slightly daring adventures, if you love the fact that every choice made has a weight on the unfolding of events, then it is a title that you could and should try. It is certainly an experience different from many others that in the end they all look a bit alike.

Foreclosed takes us to yet another cyberpunk world using a style that has conquered us from the very first minute.

Lawn Mowing Simulator is an unambitious simulator, that does little but does everything right, except for a far too lazy campaign that could have made this game very enjoyable even for those who are not mad for lawnmowers since childhood.

Omno is a mystical journey along a dreamy world, in search of light and truth. Very short but sweet.

The Silver Case 2425 is a stunning experience, but it’s only perfect for the lovers of this genre.

Vesper is a truly peculiar 2D transition adventure that encompasses its strength in simplicity and artistic achievement. Accompanying the little Seven on this introspective adventure is undoubtedly exciting and enjoyable.

The Ascent is a fun and galvanizing action RPG in all its parts. The Neon Giant team has managed to create a living and vibrant cyberpunk universe and for such a small group in such a limited time this is a great achievement.

A good remake of a legendary Sega videogame, the return of a legend from the days of the Master System. Despite an uninspiring longevity, it turns to be fun and overwhelming.

If you liked Stalker, Metro and Fallout games, Chernobylite is a must buy.

The Forgotten City abandons its mod form, grows and adds content to become a standalone game. The atmosphere of a Roman city trapped in a time loop returns to envelop us with new mysteries and enigmas scattered on the road to truth.

NEO: The World Ends with You is an incredible and funny JRPG, with a good combat system and a great story, real characters with emotions and dreams. The worthy sequel to The World Ends with You.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a beautiful game that makes the player want to investigate more and more without ever getting bored.

Even on Xbox, Microsoft Flight Simulator never ceases to amaze. It will have the merit of bringing photorealism to consoles, while still making the experience very accessible to newcomers to simulators.

The Witcher: Monster Slayer is a successful and well-structured product, capable of providing a fun experience to combine with a healthy walk.

Sky: Children of the Light is an incredible and sweet authorial journey with a simple but functional gameplay, a dreamlike and delicate atmosphere. An exciting journey.

Despite some technical limitations, Cris Tales is a JRPG capable of taking the best from tradition, innovating the genre with some interesting insights.

Death's Door is a wonderful action adventure inspired by Zelda and rich with secrets and stories to unfold. Despite the on the surface simplistic combat system this is a great game both in combat and in exploration even if the latter is definitely the grand protagonist. [Eurogamer.it Recommended]

WH40K: Battlesector offers a solid turn based gameplay in one of the most famous settings in geekdom. Graphics and music on point. Good variety in the troops with potential expansions in the future.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is an excellent remake of the mistreated chapter that appeared on Nintendo Wii ten years ago. The new key-based control system could delight many even if it does not have the precision necessary to withstand the most intense battles but the story of the young Link and Princess Zelda is worth checking out by anyone.

A competitive free-to-play “Tetris-99-like” twist in the original Bomberman formula, with LOTS of cool characters and bonuses from Konami's universe. Entertaining despite some annoying issues in the net code.

Void Terrarium ++ is a dungeon crawler with roguelike elements, lovely characters and a charming atmosphere that lacks variety and has some balancing issues.

The 2021 edition of the F1 franchise has is sweet spot in the driving model improvements. Tossing the joypad aside and using wheel and pedals, it’s nice to look back at the old chapters and appreciate the evolution of a game born as a simularcade, to become a completely different beast in the span of five years.

Boomerang X is incredibly fun and we loved it from the start. The combat system is very unique and it never bores the player.

Griftlands is the new champion in the deck-building roguelike games arena, thanks to its original gameplay mechanics and deep/entertaining narrative nature.

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a long-lived, colorful and fun title, which takes the classic mechanics of RPGs and reimagines them in a Monster Hunter way; it's also a good sequel to the Nintendo 3DS spinoff title. Its only flaw is having dared little on the visual front, perhaps held back by the hardware limits of Nintendo's hybrid console.

Miitopia arrives on Nintendo Switch in a new and updated version with some improvements. Unfortunately, it suffers from old and repetitive mechanics, which can be easily boring as the 3DS title.

Backbone is an interesting 2.5D side-scrolling, noir, pixel-art adventure set in a dystopic Vancouver. You are a raccoon detective in a world where everyone is an animal.

Ender Lilies deserves to ascend to Metroidvania heaven and sits next to masterpieces like Hollow Knight, Dead Cells and Ori.

Quotation forthcoming.

Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection on the PlayStation 4 is a little bit more crispy and fluid than the Switch version, but the two editions are on-par on the entertainment side.

A ruthless and brutal survival game, unfortunately not that entertaining to play. A modest porting for console with some serious inaccuracies (bugs and crashes), did not convince us.

King of Seas is an average production, at times interesting, but that on the whole fails to involve players. Game dynamics soon become repetitive, the narrative struggles to take off and the artistic side could have been better. A real pity, since pirate games are never enough and the project was quite intriguing.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is a wonderful remake, a jump in time, a masterpiece in level design. The Nintendo Switch port does not have the same framerate and graphic of its Sony and Microsoft counterparts, but thanks to its portableness fits perfectly with the arcade mood and the skate park editor mode.

Red Solstice 2: Survivors is an isometric and tactical TPS. It has a solid multiplayer and offers extensive customization options. Unfortunately, in single player, it tends to repeat itself.

Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny is a brand new game in the tactical turn based jRPG series by Nippon Ichi and Nis America. This game introduces several new mechanics aiming to update the classic system and to attract new players, and it finally switches 2D sprites with 3D models. If you are a turn-based jRPG addicted, Disgaea 6 will keep you busy for more than a while.

DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power would have been a great game with the right improvements. Despite this it’s a good game recommended for children.

A hellish procedural shooter-platformer with HARD roguelike elements and a unique style. Be prepared to sacrifice your soul to it.

Mario Golf: Super Rush shoot another star in the never-ending career of Nintendo's mascotte. The game is perfectible and maybe its flow needs some tee lessons from Hot Shot rival, but surely is another entertaining piece of software.

Scarlet Nexus is one of the most memorable anime video games by Bandai Namco Studios. The story is compelling, the lore is great, and the pure action combat formula works just right. It still retains some flaws from the past, like a forgettable level design and enemies that may feel repetitive, but it remains an excellent battle shonen, a good action RPG and, overall, a great video game.

Legend of Mana is back from the first PlayStation era with hi-res backgrounds and some minor changes to gameplay. It's not as good as it was back in the days but still it's an enjoyable JRPG experience.

Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a PvPvE multiplayer game that is based on a potentially interesting idea but which, unfortunately, suffers from a superficial technical realization and obvious balance problems.

R-Type Final 2 is a blast from the past, a good revival of the genre with a modern twist on it. Frenetic and incredibly hard is a good pastime, but can become frustrating in the long term for the pixel perfect accuracy needed.

Dark Alliance is an action packed brawler with RPG elements. Icewind Dale has never looked so stunning. Gameplay is fast paced and the combat is rewarding.

Minute of Islands is a beautiful experience that reminds us to be human. We are weak but we are also brave.

Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown is a revamped and remastered version of a brilliant game released over a decade ago. Despite the simple 3-button setup, the battle system is surprisingly deep. This game is easy to access but hard to master. Every fighter has his unique fighting style and everyone can find is perfect fitting. SEGA obviously wants to push the online experience since offline modes are very limited. Expect regular free updates for netcode and new contents in the next months.

A modest but fun adventure set in the Middle East, with some inaccuracies due to AI that maybe would have needed some extra work. Sniper phases are well implemented, though.

Open Country offers a lot of contents for a very low cost. Hunting, fishing and quad racing, all immersed in an unspoiled setting in the wilderness. If you are looking for freedom and some healthy competition this is the title you are looking for.

The Ninja Gaiden trilogy returns to modern platforms in a 4K collection that includes most of the DLCs released over the years. This is an excellent opportunity to rediscover an action classic.

Chicory: A Colorful Tale is an indie with Zelda-like exploration and a lot of customization options. Its main gimmick, a brush to color the world, is fully explored. Furthermore, the game doesn’t stop at the concept but develops every implication of its new and experimental gameplay.

Rift Apart in is the update that the Ratchet and Clank franchise needed. Insomniac has created an incredibly entertaining product, which never ceases to amuse. Unfortunately, a certain instability of the code (even after day one patch) prevents the game from reaching a higher score, but we feel confident that future updates will fix the code.

Guilty Gear Strive is quite possibly one of the best fighting games of the last decade. An accessible yet profound combat system combined with a stunning graphic style make it a must buy for fans of the genre.

The Magnificent Trufflepigs is a beautiful but short experience about diving deep into emotions.

Necromunda: Hired Gun fails to exploit the full potential of the fascinating universe of Warhammer 40K. It’s a fun action game that is heavily inspired by Doom Eternal but lacks attention to detail and there are several problems in its gameplay structure.

The Wild at Heart is a stunning experience that makes the player want to play all day long.

Operation: Tango is a challenging spy adventure that will keep you entertained for a few hours. The title of Clever Plays, however, fails to materialize in a thick product, remaining a rather light and undemanding work.

Elite Dangerous Odyssey is a great expansion, but it came out too soon. Despite the good quality of the mission system and an adequate FPS module, the technical problems of this DLC are too serious to ignore.

A new storytelling adventure in a fantastic world with memorables characters, in the iconic and wonderful japanese setting.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister does a good job on presenting a very accurate version of the tabletop version of Dungeons and Dragons in an original setting. A couple of issues here and there won't affect your experience.

While everyone was expecting a revolution in the action-RPG genre, Biomutant proves to be just a derivative open-world experience with a pretty decent combat/crafting system and a weak mission design.

Snowrunner on the Nintendo Switch is still an enjoyable and challenging game, despite a bunch of flaws due to technical limitations.

An interesting twist on the survival genre. A point and click adventure with a very original black and white style and a branching story telling that leads to a number of different endings.

Hitchhiker: A Mystery Game by Mad About Pandas it is a product as simple as it is mysterious. Do not be fooled by the cartoon aspect, the adventure you will be called to live is much deeper than it appears on the surface.

Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne HD Remaster is still a great old-school JRPG today, despite feeling the weight of its years. This new edition manages to remove some dust and offers the chance, for younger players, to recover an iconic title from the past, but it is undeniable that the remastering work could have been done in a much better way.

Quotation forthcoming.

Mind Scanners is a narrative, dystopian game with some management elements. Aesthetically among the most apt on the subject. Unfortunately, its many timed minigames reduce the amount of writing elements and narrative gameplay.

Essays on Empathy is a beautiful compilation of 10 short narrative games which, unfortunately, needed a lot of corrections before being released.

Days Gone is a good open world, a bit conservative in its mechanics but with wonderful scenarios. The PC edition improves its framerate and graphics making Bend Studio’s game more evocative and stunning than ever.
