We welcome the return of the most famous mouse in the world with joy, albeit with a hint of bitterness: the game created by the now defunct Junction Point oozes originality from every brush stroke, and who knows, maybe one day Warren Spector and his colleagues will be able to give us a third chapter.

Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection is an excellent collection of three titles that have made the history of their genre. The gaming experience may be anachronistic for the youngest, but it is a nostalgia operation that works very well: beyond some aspects penalized by the console, such as the need to get a stylus not supplied to better map the dungeons, we are facing a return of a piece of history of the Nintendo DS. Among other things, the amount of content within the package is remarkable, to the delight of fans of the series.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a brilliant revival of the "hardcore stealth tactical games" formula. The german developer Mimimi Productions overcome the tradition by offering some new features that surely modernizes the original gameplay.

Order Up! To Go is a really good surprise. It mixes the classic cooking games with the restaurant management obtaining a really cool flavour. The way that you manage the cooking part is also innovative because you can cook more food at the same time.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 lays the foundations for the future of the series and does so with solid gameplay and a wide and varied play offer, since in a single package you can find a good campaign, a not too rich cooperative mode of content but still fun and a multiplayer that will probably be able to entertain for months thanks to the post-launch support. The critical issues are not lacking but on the whole we can be satisfied with what Infinity Ward and the teams involved have managed to offer us.

With Tekken Revolution the Tekken saga approaches Free to Play model in the best way.

From our point of view, we do not believe that Black Mesa can be an integral substitute of the original Half-Life (still very enjoyable), as much as an adventure that accompanies it with respect and dignity. And walking tall with a legend can be considered a success in itself.

It's a great twin stick shooter, one that delivers some great moments of pure fun.

One of the most beautiful surprises of this 2021.

At the time of writing this review, Dune Awakening is a product that offers Herbert fans absolute fidelity to the source material, combined with MMO gameplay that can be played very well even alone, thanks to a proven survival system that is not frustrating, but that "tests" the player just enough to encourage them to improve their skills. As it is structured "in potential", it is also a game that has not yet shown its true potential as an "MMO", which it will be able to express only when the fanbase is dedicated and numerous. There is a bright, albeit hot and sunny, future ahead of Awakening, if Funcom will be able to stage the promised global events with variety and consistency, and keep the community alive. Engaging it with new game dynamics, with sandstorms that will change the landscape and bring to light points of interest, Fremen ruins, clearings, crashed airships. As well as, with new "interactions" between players and sandworms... maybe!

Return To Castlevania integrates into Dead Cells without distorting it, proving to be a heartfelt tribute and well placed within the flow of the main game. Fans of the Motion Twin title will find in the DLC the dynamism that has always distinguished the basic experience, plus new stages and exciting boss fights to overcome with equipment never seen before. However, given its harmony with the original adventure, Return To Castlevania is also a good starting point for those who, perhaps fans of the Belmont saga, want to get closer to Dead Cells: they will thus find themselves faced with the most complete version of one of the most magnetic , fun and challenging Rogue-Lite on the market.

A nice game, able to pamper the player and bring him back to his childhood.

Available for € 24.99 exclusively on PlayStation 4, Where the Heart Leads is an independent production with a very specific focus. With a calm and thoughtful pace, he takes his own time, proposing a narrative that is never hasty or concise. As highlighted by the development team, this is not a work suitable for everyone, but for those looking for an articulated graphic adventure, able to confront choices and issues faced in a never banal way, the production Armature Studios is highly recommended.

Played with the PlayStation VR, Rez is way more immersive, captivating and enjoyable. The new Area X shows how the formula can be modernized, and we hope this new stage to be the starting point for something bigger.

Final Fantasy Tactics remains a masterpiece: that's an undeniable fact. It began a successful lineage of tactical JRPGs that led us all the way to—to take a look at this in our own home—products like Mario + Rabbids. That masterpiece, however, remains anchored to gameplay and visual logic dating back three decades, with all the pros and cons that entails. Those who decided to rehabilitate Ramza 30 years ago will be eager to retrace that journey; those who, however, want to immerse themselves in the magic of Ivalice for the first time may find themselves faced with the obstacle of time. We still recommend new players give it a try, because Final Fantasy Tactics remains a key part of the medium's history, a knowledge of which is a prerequisite for the last 20 years of the tactics genre.

Colorful, intuitive, deep and incredibly fun, Mario Tennis Aces is truly something for everyone, from casual newcomers to seasoned hardcore gamers. You'll certainly love its unique arcade soul and its rewarding gameplay (especially in multiplayer), yet you'll also regret its disappointing single player components.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R is an essential purchase for anyone who loved tri-Ace's masterpiece, as well as an unmissable opportunity for any newcomers to discover one of the best action RPGs of the 90s. By leaving the original plot unchanged and adding new mechanics to its frenetic combat system, the guys at Gemdrops have been able to create a faithful and at the same time innovative remake. The bizarre choice of combining the historic 2D sprites with a three-dimensional world recreated from scratch may not satisfy all tastes, especially those of the new generations, nevertheless we are firmly convinced that this restoration has greatly benefited what fans still consider the best Star Ocean ever.

Assassin's Creed Nexus VR is a successful experiment.

The second incarnation of the Jurassic World Evolution series is undoubtedly a clear step up from its predecessor. The end result is a revised and corrected version of a formula that overall continues to work quite well and that we think will satisfy fans of the saga quite a bit. The game is elaborate but not particularly demanding, and it could certainly represent a more than satisfying pastime, as long as you overlook some small defects that afflict its playful structure.

Treyarch package is not without defects - even substantial ones - but overall the proposal of this chapter is perfectly able to satisfy the appetites of war enthusiasts, and provides them with plenty of hours of fun.

Brilliant for concept, writing and realization.

The impressive quality of the title, revived by Bethesda after five years, are always the same, and if you've never tried it, we strongly advise you to do it as soon as possible. For those, however, that had the opportunity to dive into the wonderful world of Skyrim, this remastered edition adds little more to the previous editions.

Ultimately, after some small structural simplification, TESO continues to maintain a high degree of complexity, intelligently synthesizing the needs of any type of player.

Octopath Traveler II is basically a "more of the same". Although the Acquire guys have made various adjustments to the original formula, implementing interesting innovations such as the day / night cycle or the latent powers, none of them can be defined as truly impactful.

By recovering and expanding the game formula developed by Stasis, Beautiful Desolation confirms the talent of The Brotherhood in creating captivating point and click adventures both on the narrative front and on the aesthetic side.

It's far from flawless, but The Stick Of Truth is indeed one of the best tie-ins ever.

Makes you laugh, and entertains for all of its considerable duration.

If you were already tired of fighting horrendous mutants, the alternative ending is the only valid reason to return to the forest. If, on the contrary, you have lived under a rock until now and you missed it, we warmly invite you to pack and board ... but watch out for the turmoil!

Thanks to its extraordinary aesthetic choices and its endless variety of roleplaying approaches, combined with the depth and exquisite wickedness of survival mechanics, Pathologic 2 is confirmed as an original, atypical, dreamlike, violent and masochistic experience.

Top Spin 2K25 will delight all sports enthusiasts thanks to satisfying gameplay and, thanks to an excellent training mode, it is also accessible to those who are only recently approaching the discipline. The animations that immerse you on the numerous and variable playing fields are very good, but the general graphics are not the most modern and much more could have been done to expand a very small roster. The game modes are objectively few, yet the games are so exciting that they remove the specter of boredom. In short, we are faced with a great return for the series.

Wayward Sky is a brilliant title, with some innovative ideas and a peculiar design. It is an adventure with a soft pace, all based on not too elaborate environmental puzzles. Yet, Wayward Sky plays in an fervent way with the sense of scale and the perspective deceptions of Virtual Reality.

The Ballad of the Champions could have been an unforgettable farewell for Breath of the Wild, and instead it is just an excellent appendix.

Undoubtedly one of the best versions of the product.

Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide land on PC, PS4 and XBO, matched with the readjustments made by improving the technical component. The high definition new look of the game is supported by Chrome Engine’s latest version, which enhances the wonderful setting made by Techland.

The addition of a virtually flawless VR mode - at least from the point of view of game dynamics - represents the missing piece of an enveloping videogame mosaic, which captivates the senses and enchants them with always abundant doses of audiovisual wonder. Some technical problems remain, but nothing prevents No Man’s Sky from dragging the audience on a journey without boundaries, towards the extreme limits of the universe.

A solid traditional shooter, with many references to the great 2d Arcades from the past. Funny, quick and solid.

Quotation forthcoming.

It is difficult to have anything to complain about the MotoGP 22 content offer: there is everything the two-wheel enthusiast could wish for. The addition of the NINE Season 2009 mode is great and will be greatly appreciated by fans of the Doctor, while the return of the split screen will make many old school players happy. If in MotoGP 21 the Milanese team had followed the path of accessibility, in the 2022 edition it seems to have focused more on simulation, with a decidedly solid playful set-up, yet not without some uncertainties both in terms of gameplay and on the visual front.

Introducing new elements in the classic Lemmings formula, like the emotional managment of the egges, this DSiWare looks shiny and funny to play.

There's almost everything you liked (or dislike) from its predecessor, and that could be a selling point for some, or a drawback for others. In the end, it's a very well crafted more of the same, where the change in the setting delivers some interesting landscapes and cultural aspects in the narrative.

Tales from the Borderlands is a game that shows all the years that have passed since its first release, yet the particular hybrid between a point and click and a looter shooter still retains an undeniable charm. Thanks to the high-level writing or the ability to unite in a simple and immediate way so different game worlds, Tales from the Borderlands is a graphic adventure that, despite everything, is recommended both for lovers of the genre and for Borderlands fans, in the hope to be able to welcome, sooner or later, even a second season.

UnMetal is one of those games that start without a real reason and end at all costs. It is not a masterpiece, mind you, but a very good game to have some good laughs in front of dialogues that are a mix of absurdity and pure idiocy. UnMetal is a tribute from start to finish to the Metal Gear series: more than the typical action hero, Jesse Fox looks like the slightly crazy clone of Snake. For those looking for something fun to play and for all retrogaming lovers, UnMetal is a mouth of fresh air in a videogame landscape that takes itself a little too seriously.

Chernobylite is, in essence, a small jewel, embellished by the maniacal care with which The Farm 51 reproduces the places of the real Chernobyl disaster, enslaving them to the playful-narrative needs of the production. Unfortunately, the eclectic mix of mechanics is not perfectly balanced and this leads to perhaps too much dilution of the gaming experience which should, on the contrary, be more rendered and a little more rhythmic. The journey to the contaminated zone, however, is highly recommended.

Eidos Montreal's take on Garret and the City comes as a surprise when you consider the hardcore stealth gameplay. On the other hand, newcomers and casual players also can have their fun, granted by the very well-thought difficulty system. The storytelling is quite disappointing, and story missions are definitely too linear in many aspects, but secondary quests and thieving in general are well developed and solid, making this game an interesting choice for all the stealth fans out there, despite its shortcomings.

Sonic Colors for DS enjoy as the Wii's version. Inheriting many of the mechanical from Sonic Rush and enriched it with the super powers received by the Wisps, this chapter respects the tradition and updates it painlessly.

A semi-new version of Diamond and Pearl, amended and finally free from the minor issues. Still, Platinum presents the same formula that the game drags since 1999; so, if you want something new, you have to wait for the next chapters.

Net of some imperfections, Hunt the Night is a product that manages to entertain for its entire duration and beyond, given the presence of extra modes that offer bread for the teeth of fans of soulslike and the like. The simple and fast combat system, the well-studied puzzles and the goodness of the boss fights make the work signed by Moonlight Games an event not to be missed for fans of the genre, both on Nintendo Switch and on PC.

Puzzle Quest 2 is better than the original chapter. Addictive and challenging it's highly recommended to fans of the genre and even those who have already enjoyed the predecessor.

Zombie Night Terror is a brilliant puzzle game, packed with care and attention to details.

It may lack depth in gameplay, and even the visual can get repetitive quite quickly. Still, gameplay is interesting, and perfectly entwined with narration, as the title may suggest, and that's a great achievement.

Net of a low-level technical sector, especially on Switch, No Longer Home is one of the most touching experiences of the year.

Batman Arkham VR is the first experiment of Rocksteady in the field of virtual reality, a successful attempt to get closer to this technology and to explore its expressive possibilities. The experience is really short, but the game has many other qualities. The graphics are among the best in the launch line-up of PlayStation VR, and the game shows excellent gameplay ideas, and a dynamic storytelling stitched around the player's movements.

It really pushes the boundaries of the musou genre in new, interesting directions. It might be still repetitive, but it's so deep and compelling when it comes to combat, that it will keep you glued to your seat for many hours.

A package as rich as it is refined, capable of offering the public over a hundred hours of ballistic fun and crazy adventures.
