Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a brand new videogame dedicated to the iconic anime series. With two career modes, the first following the classic events and the second offering an intriguing brand new story, with graphics very similar to the anime and some great moments, this is the most advanced Captain Tsubasa game ever created. Though, there is the feeling of a missed opportunity both gameplay side and story. Frame-rates are not so solid and we would have loved the addiction of the primary school tournament.

Despite some technical limitations, low longevity and lack of replayability, Metamorphosis is a game full of passion and respect for the novels that inspired it. A budget-priced game that every gamer who loves Kafka's works should offer a chance.

Crusader Kings 3 is the perfect sequel to the masterpiece that CK2 was. Better interface, deeper mechanics, astounding production values make this title the best grand strategy game in the market.

Despite an old-gen aesthetic and some minor issues, Descenders is a good downhill arcade racer with pretty good SSX and Tony Hawk's vibes.

Quotation forthcoming.

Röki is like a sort of an evolution of the point and click genre, an adventure game far less overelaborate but still interesting and intriguing, only in a different, more accessible way which heavily lean on exploration. A journey of discovery and at the same time an intimate story and a folklore's tale.

Wasteland 3 is a good RPG that executes the same old formula sprucing it up with entertaining and interesting combat, good progression, inventory choices and a story that, while only average, is well delivered.

No Straight Roads is a visually charming rhythm-action game that slips on its (sometimes) confusing gameplay ideas and lands on the slightly-above-average level.

Company of Crime is a good tactical game with a fascinating setting and some new mechanics marred by the usual rush to release. AI and balancing issues ruin the experience making this game one to revisit after some patches.

Sometimes bigger is not better. With over 180 different mechs, this game should be a dream for Mobile Suit's lovers, but its dull single player and widely perfectible multiplayer, keep it just above the average.

Hyper Scape manages to perfectly combine the past and the future of online shooters. The Battle Royale genre has a new, fierce and extremely fun competitor.

Battletoads is a love poem to the games of a dramatically distant past and an almost completely successful attempt to refresh a brand, to make the nostalgic happy and intrigue the youngest: a game, in short, full of heart and desire to entertain ... and torment the more casual gamers.

Spiritfarer is a good management game, simple in its playful structure, yet discreetly varied and visually inspired. The characters that we’ll have to accompany in the afterlife are nice, and the writing is accurate and stylistically heterogeneous. Too bad for a rhythm not always effective during the long adventure.

Cold Symmetry has managed to bring home a project with a beautiful atmosphere, strongly inspired by From Software's soulsborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, but with original mechanics and folklore; pity for the scholastic execution, certainly due to scarce resources and workforce, which limit its longevity and bring out a framework with too much roughness.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is not just the ultimate simulator, it’s a technical showcase that will inevitably end up catching everyone's attention. If you have a good PC, you won't be able to ignore it for long.

Maid of Sker is an atmospheric horror game with interesting ideas and story, but falls apart relatively quickly due to some poor design choices.

Quotation forthcoming.

Necrobarista is a 3D visual novel. It is stylish, relaxing and mysterious. Direction and scenography are smart and evocative. The writing is overall good, but it lacks focus, with head hopping and a lot of filler sequences.

In the vast panorama of soulslike games, Hellpoint sits on the lower end of the difficulty scale, bringing a couple of interesting innovations to the genre. Setting and art direction surely original and interesting with a good dose of level design. Combat is a bit unresponsive and laggy.

Horizon Zero Dawn, with the Complete Edition on Steam, arrives on PC with a convincing conversion, which allows you to retrieve one of the most fascinating open world games of the current generation with a significant performance boost and greater detail. Too bad for the lack of support for Ray Tracing and DLSS.

Summing up, Relicta is certainly an interesting puzzle game, capable of offering excellent puzzles based on two elements of physics: gravity and magnetism. Some levels denote a truly remarkable complexity and degree of difficulty, requiring the player, in addition to the knowledge of the basic mechanics, also a not insignificant intelligence.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is a pleasant return to the classic fantasy typical of the saga, but it is limping on the technical side and on the variety of experience, creating a questionable compromise between quantity and quality.

Mario’s new adventure is a perfect way to continue the saga. The adventure RPG combines exploration and puzzle game in a new different way. The new Paper Mario is extremely pleasant and suitable for every kind of gamer.

Othercide is a tactical game with a lot of new and interesting ideas. The grinding involved is unfortunately too much and not always fair; together with the badly designed UI makes for a very stressing and fatiguing experience.

Kryptois back in this remake of the original 2005 game that still delivers a quite entertaining '50s old-gen TPS experience with an all new level and the predictable aesthetic lifting.

This fifth installment in the Shantae series is still an enjoyable game but too short and with a flat-level challenge.

The Halo 3 porting is without any doubt the best of the Master Chief Collection to date, and the job done by 343 Industries is commendable. Although we could have hoped for a remake as happened with Halo 2, the developers have shown that despite the years, the third chapter of the first trilogy is still enjoyable. And with the improvements made, it's more beautiful than ever.

Namco plays with our feelings again with another (expensive) double serving of its Good Gold Days games. Feel old yet? You will!
