Whether it's the first time you experience the triumphant return of the Doom Slayer, or it's an opportunity to replay a recent masterpiece in a new light, Doom Eternal on Switch is undoubtedly the highest point reached by the partnership between Bethesda, id Software, Panic Button and Nintendo.

The price is too high, for what is proposed: the title does not exploit any feature of the console and, above all, cancels - with a rather unpleasant graphic rendering - the only competitive advantage with which it could still play, namely portability. Such a pity.

It is difficult to imagine, in 2020, a category of gamers that Drawn to Life: Two Realms can actually be tempted by.

In short, the purchase of this chapter is mainly recommended both for anyone who has never played the first Puyo Puyo Tetris, and for all those who see attractive and stimulating content in the presence of the online PvE rankings, in the new Adventure and in the Technical Battles.

An operation to be undertaken with a philological spirit, driven more by the hunger for knowledge and experience than by the desire to be captivated by an adventure. However, you only have a few months left to decide.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a masterpiece. A title able to raise the bar not just for the roleplay games’ genre but also the open world's.

Plunging into the midst of no-holds-barred battles as your own custom soldier could make you smile on multiple occasions and is another reason to add Worms Rumble to the PlayStation Plus collection.

Since the update is free, and offers some improvements that do not go unnoticed, the Electronic Arts operation can be said to be satisfactory: in short, the new generation training begins to show, albeit timidly, its potential.

The limits of the old gen edition, especially in terms of microtransactions, are still present, but on the playful and visual side NBA 2K21 Next Gen is a game that knows how to hit the basket.

At the end of the twenty hours required to complete it, Haven is confirmed as an intimate and daily love story, which rejects the pomposity of the epic to settle on the sweetness of adolescence. And it's a rarity in the gaming world.

The hope is to see a nice escalation that, within a year, will lead players to welcome Savanthun's return with the right enthusiasm.

Ambitious and extremely intelligent in creating a playful and narrative system that is always coherent, Twin Mirror proved to be a fascinating title.

Exploring these characters is by far the most enjoyable thing to do in Empire of Sin.

At least as regards the playful and narrative component, the re-edition for PC and home console of Dragon Quest XI S is confirmed as a product of impeccable quality. Being a port of the Switch version, the graphic compromises have remained almost unchanged, but this time the title compensates for its artistic shortcomings with a doubled frame rate, almost zero loading times and a resolution finally in 4k, which consequently guarantee very high performance level.

Despite the obvious limits posed by its undoubtedly derivative nature, devoid of great originality and great qualitative ambitions, the final product works and entertains with an excellent balance between density and vastness.

The definitive edition to enjoy in all the its splendor and without any kind of compromise of one of the most sensational and adrenaline-pumping hack 'n' slash of recent years.

The debut of the Serious Sam Collection on the platforms of the now older generation is like the return of an old friend, one armed to the teeth and with a tendency to unleash such majestic explosions as to make the good Michael Bay pale.

Certainly capable of entertaining effectively, especially in company, but which could offer much more.

One of the greatest expressions of Japanese-style game design eccentricity.

Tetris Effect Connected proves once again to be a refined reinterpretation of a timeless classic, a true masterpiece that resists the passage of time without giving up, ready to conquer even the new generations.

The novelties of the annual edition, as expected, are not substantial, yet they contribute to the growth and improvement of a complete and extremely dedicated formula not only to realism and simulation, but also to involvement.

Observer therefore remains a horror-tinged investigative thriller that absolutely deserves to be experienced and, thanks to the next gen, also “felt” on your skin.

An experiment that ultimately presents itself as solid overall, but which perhaps would have best expressed its potential in a more contained format.

Godfall is an immature title, unbalanced in many of its constituent components, evidently built to take advantage of the launch of PlayStation 5 with a bit of cunning. A game with many defects, but also with a satisfying and delightfully hilarious combat system, capable thanks to its enviable substance of supporting - together with the theatrical, exorbitant, opulent technical realization - the entire hut.

With an adventure that reaches the longevity of over fifty hours if you decide to unlock every single secret, the Age of Calamity succeeds in the intent it seems to have set itself, while suffering some noteworthy technical stumbling: clearing a gaming experience. remained overshadowed today and add a piece to the narrative world of Breath of the Wild that could enrich the story of the expected sequel from Nintendo.

It is a nice addition to the Stadia catalog, as well as a nice way to pay homage to an unforgettable video game.

Beyond a technical sector with some obvious compromises and not always up to par, the hybrid version of Sniper Elite 4 runs without problems both in docked mode and "on the go". We therefore recommend Sniper Elite 4 to those who have never been able to play it at the time and to those who want to try the experience of the title in portability.

If Descenders teases you, don't worry too much about giving it a chance. Maybe on other gaming platforms.

A great self-denial is required to cross the kingdom of King Allant, but the adventure in the mists of Boletaria is one of those literally unforgettable, imperfect and for this very reason unmatched.

A more than discreet survival horror that stands out among its congeners.

Ultimately, Sackboy is a straightforward and genuine platformer, “tailor-made” for fans of the genre.

Although solid and convincing overall, the technical sector shows a few more flaws than that of the last Call of Duty, while the promise of virtuous and free post-launch support for all bodes well for the near future of the title.

Stormling tells a story with undoubted potential, without however supporting it with a careful management of textual narrative and good game design.

To the delight of those who do not love rhythm games, Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory does not pretend to be a mandatory stop, but a delightful detour that, between one note and another, will help fans of the Tetsuya Nomura series to reconstruct eighteen years of often confused and fragmented memories.

If music and video games represent the perfect combination for you, Fuser is, in no uncertain terms, unmissable.

In short, Giant Squid succeeds in the most difficult task, that of starting from the groove left by the greats, but in the end to trace a new trajectory, leaving a profound and unforgettable mark on the panorama of independent development, and beyond.

Bugsnax is a fun and light adventure, suitable for a young audience but able to intrigue even the most grown up players.

The latest chapter is an experience that moves in balance between continuity and timid attempts at innovation, which brings with it some shortcomings from the previous episode (above all a poor general cleaning and an unresponsive AI), but which manages to compose an epic full of events, situations and possibilities. In short, of fun. Anyone willing to turn a blind eye to some technical and gameplay edges will therefore experience one of those adventures that the skalds would not hesitate to sing in the Norse courts. Odin is with Ubisoft.

It would be ungenerous to deny the good basic qualities of Tomas Sala's work, such as to ensure that this peculiar "bird's eye" combat simulator has a certain solidity, at least on the technical-artistic front. What emerges after a few hours strolling through the skies of the Ursee, however, is that The Falconeer is a product that shines more for aesthetics than for the actual ability to involve the player within the wet world that he chooses to tell.

Astro's Playroom is the tangible demonstration of the incredible potential of DualSense, but also the sublime meeting point between the past and the future of PlayStation.

Ultimately, Miles Morales is a fun and well-written open world; thanks to a properly conceived development system, it encourages players to tackle even the slightly more repetitive tasks, which fortunately are accompanied by a well-woven main quest. Nothing new for those who have already worn the Spider-Man costume on PS4, but Insomniac is always a guarantee of great quality.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit: Remastered is the result of an interesting restoration and, all in all, fairly successful.

Stirring Abyss is a little indie gem.

Just like the best Yakuza games, Like a Dragon shows us what could be in store for this series.

The idea itself didn't seem bad: a mix of rhythm game and platform similar to what we saw in Rayman Legends, with its unforgettable musical levels. The result is instead a mixture that takes the worst of both worlds, between rigid movements and songs on average without bite, and an inexplicable temporal rewinding mechanics that only contributes to interrupting the flow and increasing the annoyance due to the continuous trial & error to which you will be subjected.

If you loved the Bakugan franchise at the time and you are a fan of the animated series, Champions of Vestroia will be a nice dive into the past, but it is good to know what its playful, narrative and structural limits are.

We are almost certain that behind the creative disaster of the game of Stormind and Darril Arts there is a problematic development process, perhaps rushed in time and not well thought out. The fact is that the result is very bad, and most likely no patch will be able to fix the situation.

Dirt 5 wants to be an immediate racing game, accessible and devoted to pure fun, at the cost of sacrificing a realistic driving system and embracing a physics that is at times hyperbolic and saucy. Racing or rally purists be warned: here they will find "only" a lot of mud, drifting and collisions in abundance, with almost no room for lap times and technicalities. Too bad for a fluctuating technical sector lacking in terms of optimization on consoles.

The title will be able to excite and involve you right from the start, trapping you within a very detailed reality and on the verge of destruction.

This second chapter preserves the average quality level of the Anthology unchanged, and our "little hope" is that this standard will at least be maintained (and perhaps exceeded) for future horror stories as well.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the definitive re-edition of a jewel that arrived at the wrong time in 2013, on the wrong console.

Watch Dogs Legion fails to fully express the potential of its concept of base, yielding to the lure of an open world model that, at the end of the generation, loudly requires more incisive modernization interventions.

Quotation forthcoming.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - New'n'Tasty! arrives on Nintendo Switch not exactly in top form, offering a visually more sacrificed version than some of the editions seen previously.

If you believe your skill outweighs the pitfalls of the Dharma Tower, step forward. It is time to die.

A small title that knows exactly what it wants and achieves its purpose with ideas and unavoidably reactive controls. Razor sharp.

An exquisitely old-fashioned adventure, modest in ambitions and dignified in realization.

Drawing on the most successful elements of the first two episodes of the tetralogy, such as the well-established turn-based combat system and the slice of life component, Nihon Falcom has once again managed to surpass itself, packaging an extraordinary title from every point of view.

Net of some balancing problems, and some declines in the quality of the level design, the first Eternal DLC therefore marks an excellent debut for the post-launch journey of the title, with the complicity of a high-impact artistic direction and accompaniment substantially perfect musical.

With Amnesia: Rebirth, Frictional's philosophy really returns. There is that talent for subtle and psychological horror, which relies on physical and explicit threats just to keep working.

Horace often leaves you speechless.

Dunrog is flat both in the combat system and in the progression, unbalanced, battered by technical and other problems.

Even without hitting all the objectives set at the outset, Playmestudio's debut work remains, if nothing else, a laudable attempt to bring to the stage themes and theories of a certain depth, which we hope will not go completely unnoticed.

As in the case of the previous DLC, we are not talking about a particularly generous product in terms of novelty but, among a handful of brand new Yokai, an additional challenge level, new equipment and an unprecedented weapon, we are pretty sure that fans of the he epic "hardcore" of Team Ninja will not struggle to find in the content an excellent incentive to continue to accumulate Amrita.

Boasting the same changes made to the remastered version of the progenitor, the PS4 edition of Trails of Cold Steel II undoubtedly represents the definitive version of the product, as well as an unmissable title in the video library of anyone who considers himself a true JRPG fan.

The result is all in all surprising, for what turns out to be a voyage of revenge without artistic, narrative or cultural pretensions, contenting itself with being a very enjoyable and fluid video game "to beat".

Despite a content offering that risks running out in a short time, the great strength of the title lies in an unconventional approach to game design which, thanks to augmented reality, is able to make the world of video games interact with that of the games in a simple and intuitive way.

This is a generous re-proposal, in which functional filings intersect in the management of playful mechanics and an important aesthetic modernization.

Despite being part of a series that has always stood out positively in the microcosm of isometric action RPGs, Torchlight 3 proved to be a mediocre, confusing and incomplete game.

The Survivalists proves to be a product of excellent quality, capable of combining depth and accessibility in a surprising way to create an experience that will certainly satisfy both purists of the genre (without ever boring them) and above all any newbies looking for an excuse to take your first steps in the world of survival.

I Am Dead is a delightful adventure.

Unfortunately, regret remains for an overall offer that, while capable of entertaining thanks to the charm of the proposed songs, could have been more incisive thanks to a greater creative effort by the developers.

We hope that the next gen will bring a breath of fresh air to a series that needs to overcome some historical flaws. The air in the locker room starts to get heavy.

Wisely blending the exuberance of battle royale with the dictates of the most famous platformer on the face of the earth, the title shows off the potential typical of memorable experiences, which from ideal "hit and run" pastimes are soon transformed into real videogame magnets, which the closer you get, the harder it becomes to break away.

The simulation ambitions of the model offer a stimulating, demanding, satisfying driving experience, at times almost instructive, yet never frustrating and able to welcome even novices, thanks to the flexibility and effectiveness of the aids.

At present, Genshin Impact is still a pleasant and frenetic action RPG, which thanks to the presence of a titanic open-world map full of secrets and secondary activities to be traced has been able to elevate the exploratory component to the backbone of the entire infrastructure.

Long-lived, colorful, fun and complex, It's About Time conveys the return to precision platforming, where every jump is calibrated with due accuracy counts, and in which the player's skill is mainly enhanced.

Flying in sidereal spaces offers sensations of pure exaltation, with the contribution of game systems as effective as they are layered, which especially on the multiplayer side guarantee production an absolutely convincing strategic profile. On the other hand, however, the weakness of the single player campaign, combined with the scarcity of the multiplayer offer and some fluctuations on the technical side, prevents the Electronic Arts title from achieving excellence.

WWE 2K Battlegrounds is not a bad game but we believe that its true potential has not been exploited in the least.

Kirby Fighters 2 is, however, the definitive confirmation of the fact that there is nothing left to squeeze out of the old Kirby minigames and that it is therefore time to move on, possibly once and for all.

Between the historical limitations linked to the development period and the very difficult operation of adaptation to console peripherals, Praetorians HD implicitly suggests us to opt for the PC version.

Hades is, in no uncertain terms, a masterpiece: a phenomenal roguelike, packed with boundless class and inspiration, which once again consecrates (and perhaps more than ever ...) the crystalline talent of Supergiant Games.

Even on a technical level, the work is not flawless: although the city has postcard views and sets up an atmosphere of refined elegance, in fact, some graphical updates show the side of obvious, yet never limiting, uncertainties.

Impossible, then, not to feel a bit of a bitter taste in your mouth in the face of a dated and limp technical sector, which shows the signs of still incomplete optimization work. In short, Serious Sam 4 has put a half-smile on our faces, even if we do not make any effort to recommend the purchase to all the historical fans of the series.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is one of the best ports we've ever gazed upon.

Crysis Remastered is a product that fails to fully express its potential, to bring back what is undoubtedly a real legend in the world of video games.

Tennis World Tour 2 is a great new beginning, an unexpected glimmer of hope for the future of a sport for too long away from the limelight of the videogame market.

The facts must be established: Minecraft Dungeons for Switch is the worst version you could get your hands on.

Although devoid of temporary power-ups and other mechanics of the genre, New Super Lucky's Tale is an honest and fun platformer, whose main defects are represented by a longevity that runs out in 8-12 hours and a challenge rate calibrated towards the bass.

In short, it is a good addition able to offer fans a few hours of frenetic fun, while failing to concretely raise the standards of a not exactly exciting post-launch path.

The general difficulty, as repeated several times during this review, is undoubtedly higher than the average of contemporary products, but in the face of the goodness of the proposed experience we strongly advise you not to see it as an obstacle but as an opportunity to put yourself to the test and really understand what you're made of Good luck, you will need it!

Street Power Football is also sold almost at full price, and therefore we are forced to advise against buying even the most curious and irreducible of players.

Two weeks after launch, Marvel's Avengers seems to have already outlined its nature: that of an atypical Games as a Service, more focused on narrative development than on the variety of the multiplayer offering.

The technical sector is in fact immature, with consequences that strongly influence the use of the adventure.

In spite of everything, do not miss the opportunity to venture once again among castles, green pipes and mushroom-shaped power-ups: there is something to rejoice, with the lightheartedness and the smile of when you become a little child again.

Spellbreak therefore proves to be a promising title but with still partially unexpressed potential, although the decision to focus on cross play and cross progression since the debut is absolutely worthy of a convinced applause.

Konami's production remains a fun football experience, but it is permissible for each user to make their own personal budget. For our part, the company's strategy seemed so virtuous, but imperfect and hasty, and this element necessarily influences our judgment.

The masters of 2D have in fact given us a convoluted and enthralling narrative interweaving, which between time travel, advanced technologies, dreams of a distant and catastrophic future, unspeakable secrets and mammoth robots, starve the player and unleash an irrepressible curiosity in him. able to keep him glued to the screen for at least thirty hours, especially if he devotes himself body and soul to entertaining strategic battles and the customization of the powerful Sentinels.
