Back 4 Blood is the spiritual successor of Left 4 Dead but it's also more than this. Its sub-roguelike card system refresh the zombie-coop-FPS formula but the game needs some polish and a solid post-launch support.

Impostor Factory clearly shows the growth of its author. The topics dealt with may not fit everyone's tastes, just as we definitely feel the void left by the sparkling interactions between the two protagonists of the previous chapters; however, Kan Gao seems to have clear ideas about the direction his saga is taking, as well as an increasingly refined talent for causing emotional devastation to the players.

Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition is a strategic RPG with uninspired artificial intelligence, technical problems and with some drops in framerate on PlayStation 4. Despite an engaging story, it is a porting that doesn't bring big news.

Metroid Dread is the final chapter of the journey started by Samus Aran on NES long ago. Developer MecurySteam has managed to create a game loyal to the series but full of new elements added to renew the gameplay. Being chased by E.M.M.I. is one of the most terrifying experiences you could ever feel in a videogame. It’s just a brilliant addiction. Exploring ZDR planet is a marvelous adventure: as you progress through the game, you will collect new powers and story elements. Metroid Dread feels like old and new at the same time: will please both fans of the series and new players. This game plays gorgeously on the new Switch OLED screen and is a must-have for every metroidvania addict.

Although struggling to propose a convincing villain, Far Cry 6 offers a lot of gameplay innovations that make this chapter one of the most fun to play.

JETT: The Far Shore is a space opera with a soundtrack so outstanding, an art compartment so beautiful, and a narrative premise so compelling that in the end it really hurts to find out that it's just an old-fashioned, “normal” video game. This team can and will create something a lot more compelling.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is what every CRPG should be. Great storytelling, complex and detailed combat system, very well written characters and an artistic compartment that does its job very well. A must play for the fans of the genre.

NBA 2K22 improves several gameplay mechanics like on ball defense, shot contest, dunks and block, alongside AI defense. Despite these improvements, there are still several historic technical issues, server problems on MyTeam, huge loading times, and there is the sense that all of the game modes push users to buy VCs to be competitive.

Diablo 2 Resurrected is what a remaster should be. Vicarious Visions has done an incredible job with what is the cornerstone of the Action RPG genre. A visual gem that still holds against any modern title. The gameplay hasn’t changed an inch, which is what the whole community wanted. More brutal than ever. An isometric Dark Souls to terrorize the new generations of gamers.

In Sound Mind is a fun psychological horror that takes too much inspiration from other horror videogames. The gameplay, while simple, only engages in the last part of the experience. It remains a pleasant title to play.

Quotation forthcoming.

Hot Wheels Unleashed tries to bring back the memories of childhood with a fast and colored game. Unfortunately it does not succeed completely, resulting too simple and repetitive.

Astria Ascending reshapes the assets of Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey and its fascinating art style. It revitalizes its world with a new storyline, written by Kazushige Nojima. What we have is a fun but extremely classic fantasy JRPG, which adds nothing to the genre and with obvious imperfections.

FIFA has changed its face. It's bigger, more realistic, and more jaw-dropping than ever before but it seems to have left behind one important factor: fun.

It is unlikely that those who hated Death Stranding in its standard version will be able to change their judgment about the Director's Cut; all other players, on the other hand, shouldn't miss the opportunity to live and play again the adventure of Sam Porter Bridges.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a majestic adventure in a world that blends life and death in a one-of-a-kind path of forgiveness and redemption. There are some imperfections due to inexperience but if this is the talent of the guys at Ember Lab, we can't wait to see what they can create in the future.

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom Prince's Edition is a good porting of an excellent JRPG with a compelling storyline. A good return.

Gamedec is a good and ingenious crpg. Unfortunately, despite being also a good cyberpunk detective story, there are sequences that feel underdeveloped and unpolished.

Takayuki Yagami is a great character and Lost Judgment is bigger and slightly better than the previous game, but still not enough to become a definitive classic series like Yakuza.

Black Book has an enjoyable and interesting history, unfortunately fluctuating in some passages. The card game mechanics are fun, but simplified and shallow. More could have been done!

Eastward is a marvelous action-adventure game designed in 16-bit pixel-art and set in a future and collapsed cyberpunk world. You play as Sam and John, two characters linked by a mysterious bound that decide to travel around the world to solve the strange things happening in the underworld. The art style is clearly inspired by 16-bit jRPGs and animation of the 90s. The adventure is full of smart puzzles to solve using the powers of the two friends, and will keep you busy and entertained for several hours.

This edition of The Medium is suitable for those who have not had, in the past, the chance of recovering the title in the Microsoft or PC ecosystem. This is perhaps not the best of the ports, but the new features related to DualSense and the generic good quality of the product can fully justify the purchase.

TOEM perfectly represents the beauty of the journey rather than reaching the destination. A relaxing and enjoyable experience armed with a camera.

Deathloop is a promising evolutive step for one of the greatest developers in the industry. Like every attempt to change it has some structural flaws but this inventive FPS/stealth deserves everybody's attention. A fascinating muder puzzle bond to a time loop.

A Burton-esque adventure ruled by fate and dice that, despite an intriguing story and fascinating gothic visuals, misses the gameplay point with some boring design choices.
