Serial Cleaners abandons the arcade style of the first chapter to embrace a more dense narrative, but without really updating the gameplay the result is not up to par.

You Suck At Parking is a game like no others, one of those easy to learn and (really) hard to master. No real racing, just a straightforward set of inventive challenges in which you have to... park your car as quickly and accurate as possible.

Despite a new graphic style and a slightly better combat scheme, Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2 delivers the same experience of previous game: good narrative and decent gameplay... but fans of Lovecraft needs something more “peculiar” and terrifying.

Grounded is a great little adventure capable of entertaining for many hours, as long as you don't suffer from arachnophobia. The whole crafting and survival structure works, a little less the limited combat system, but the general experience manages to give truly unique moments.

No Place for Bravery is a promising gory action soulslike with Sekiro-esque combats and some pretty good chunks of gameplay but also balancing issues and some annoying bugs.

Ooblets is a fun and very relaxing game, but all the frame drops and repetitiveness at times do not fully enhance it.

Quotation forthcoming.

Takayuki Yagami and his assistant Kato look even better on a PC porting that promises tens of hours of investigations, fightings and mysteries. But aside from higher graphic detail, it's the same game we reviewed last year, hence the same score.

NBA 2K23 is still the best NBA game on the market, only because there are no competitors. There are new fun game modes like Jordan Challange but the online component of all the game modes once again relies too much on micro-transaction. Being competitive as a no money spent player is too much time consuming, and worse than last year. Gameplay wise, there are some improvements but some ancient problems remain, like choppy shooting system and an AI that cannot defend against 5-out.

The Legend of Heroes:Trails From Zero comes to the west for the first time since its original release on the PSP in 2010. A great remaster work covers textures, sprites, aspect ratio, frame-rate pop-in and obviously resolution. The game is smooth to play and gameplay aids help users to bypass long dialogues and accelerate battle encounters. A deep crafting system and a great story make this classic still enjoyable nowadays.

Soulstice finally brings a bit of Italy into the realm of hack 'n' slash, fully succeeding thanks to the excellent characterization of the game world and a layered and satisfying gameplay. Too bad for some problems with the room and an artistic sector not always up to par. It looks like one of the best surprises of the year.

The Phoenix Edition brings some balance to the troubled The Tomorrow Children. Now you can play offline in the new single-player mode and have a little bit of help during the hard work... but after six years most of the structural issues of the original game are still there!

SD Gundam Battle Alliance is an action RPG crammed with nostalgia and fanservice that will not disappoint hardcore fans of the saga, despite some imperfections in pacing and structure.

SBK 22 is the great return of Milestone in this category, with a good game in its structure and a driving model that distinguishes it from what has been seen in MotoGP. However, it is necessary to find a greater personality and above all, a greater variety in the contents.

NORCO is hauntingly beautiful. A surreal tale that is dystopic and futuristic but at the same time extremely rooted in the hopeless and sad reality of the suburban industrial areas of USA. A sort of a great acid trip that we won't soon forget.

Metal Hellsinger is a rhythmic FPS that has its roots in the typical imagery of heavy metal to offer players an adrenaline-pumping, fun and exciting experience. The soundtrack, composed by internationally renowned metal artists is the spearhead of the package and will remain stuck under your skin for weeks after playing the game.

Circus Electrique is like a juggling show not perfectly balanced. The narrative idea works fine and the Tactical RPG/Management mechanics are all in the right places but some gameplay elements slow down the pace and the entertainment factor.

Splatoon 3 is the culmination of Nintendo's experience with its squid-and-ink third-person shooter series. Fun, rich in content and graced by a bewitching technical appearance, the third installment of the series is a must have for fans but also an excellent entry point for newbies.

Addressed to the fans of Hiroiko Araki's manga, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is marked by strengths and weaknesses of the title dated 2014, only proposing small adjustments certainly not able to change the original judgment. Featuring simple and spectacular gameplay, CyberConnect2’s game still lacks today in terms of cleanliness and balancing of the experience, due to some very imprecise hitboxes and a not well balanced roster.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a generous package full of nostalgia, Thirteen games from the Arcade, 8-16 bit and Game Boy eras and tons of gaming options, cheats and extras.

Steelrising is not the best soulslike on the market, but with its attractive design and many original ideas (unfortunately not all of them are implemented effectively) it turned out to be a fun and well-made game. Undoubtedly, the best title developed by Spiders.

Brave but decidedly fascinating, I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is certainly not a title suitable for all palates, but which manages to transpose all the original elements of the classic role-playing games onto the screen in a truly convincing way. Featuring mature and by no means trivial themes, as well as an emotionally powerful soundtrack, I Was a Teenage Exocolonist can also count on a high replay value.

Did we really need it? Nope. Is it too expensive? Yes, it is. But who cares, it's a game of eternal beauty, and after this graphic overhaul it still wins against the majority of "new" triple A games on the market. Hands down.

Tinykin is a very simple game and this is its strong point. Intuitive and fun, the new Splashteams’ title is one of the most successful platformers in the recent times.

Sam Barlow builds a fascinating puzzle mixing game design and cinema by weaving a unique, complex storytelling that deeply explores Marissa Marcel’s life. A mind blowing experience.

Voyage is a fascinating cooperative exploration game with gorgeous hand-painted graphic, basic gameplay and intuitive mechanics. It will last just two hours but will stay longer in your heart.

A charming metroidvania action-adventure with hand-drawn fantasy settings and an interesting cast of characters. The experience is perfectible due to some unbalanced boss fights and (too) tight-timing platform sections.

Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 3 includes 2 RPG classics (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure and La Pucelle: Ragnarok), reissuing them with minor technical improvements and leaving their strengths and weaknesses mainly untouched.
