The interactive and digital representation of an extraordinary ecosystem and of the decisive cultural and historical value that the authors wanted to allow all to explore, satisfying our playful and interactive needs, but always obliging us to live it deeply, with the dignity it deserves.

Gran Turismo Sport is a great game that takes a sharp turn in a direction completely different from the one that the series has always aimed at. The problem with this title is that it sits in a totally new gray area on consoles, and could therefore run the risk of not satisfying all players, and in fact let the long-time fans down.

City of Light is a good season-finale, which concludes all narrative lines of the previous episodes and introduces a new way to look at Bruce Wayne as a character.

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

Quotation forthcoming.

Characters and plot are not as good as we expected, and once more there's no online multiplayer. Gameplay, on the other hand, is finely crafted, so if you're a fan, you'll probably enjoy it.

Magic The Gathering - Duels Of The Planeswalkers 2012 is a good reduction of the card game, despite many limitations in the customization of the deck. The experts of Magic The Gathering may find it too limited, but it's a fun and enjoyable game.

A great opening to what could reveal itself as one of the best episodic experiences since the first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead. The writing is superb, and the story will keep you waiting for the next episode.

If you are among those who have postponed the purchase of Yooka-Laylee until now, convinced it was perfect to play on Nintendo console, know that the reason was on your side. It's time to fix it.

More an experiment than a fully accomplished videogame, it can still entertain with its ethereal gameplay. The only drawback is the entry price, way to high for what the title has to offer.

Net of numerous positive aspects, such as the art direction, the level design or the humor that permeates the adventure, LEGO Bricktales unfortunately presents itself as an imperfect product. While representing the only major lack, the complicated control system that distinguishes the construction phases significantly inhibits the pleasure of the experience. A doubly unpleasant circumstance, given that the puzzles and puzzles proposed by the creative phases are genuinely stimulating and varied. As can be easily understood, given the belonging of the game to the LEGO franchise, the moments that require you to assemble the bricks to proceed in the adventure represent in fact the founding core of the production. This circumstance forces us against our will to penalize a title whose concept and creative potential would have deserved more.

Fable's wide open world is beautifully designed and wonderful to explore. The programming effort to shape the destiny of a nation in a fantasy setting was achieved only in part though. While its deep social interaction shines, the real gameplay is flawed by poor and uninteresting mechanics, from the quests to the shallow combat system.

Anna Extended Edition improves the basic title from every point of view. The game is one of the best Horror Adventure available on the market.

It's fun for a while, but it really lacks variety. If you love Capcom, the cameos will entertain you much more than gameplay.

With Milestone going back to MotoGP, SBK Official Game decide to move on iOS platforms. This first race is interesting and has a solid amount of content.

Color Zen is an original puzzle game, that mixes a relaxing atmosphere with a complex gameplay.

A good old school platform, sometimes a bit too frustrating. The hardcore platforming fans could really enjoy its ruthlessness.

The last map pack from Sledgehammer confirms the trend: the multiplayer maps are forgettable, and the zombie campaign reaches the grand finale with success.

Rusty Lake: Roots manages to create an original and credible narrative without betraying its "room escape" nature. Compared to the previous titles in the series it is a more mature game, and it doesn't bore despite the increased length.

The Trail is an interesting alternative to the classic Walking Simulators. Thanks to the introduction of crafting mechanics and social interactions, it manages to stand out from the crowd.

Quotation forthcoming.

A fun and exciting story.

Bleed is a nice, well-groomed and passionate game, but he cannot make that extra step that would make him really memorable.

The driving model is undeniably "there".

The Last Wind Monk, as well as the predecessor, clearly pays homage to the adventures of the past, with all the pros and cons of the case.

Ultimately, Syder Reloaded, which is also offered at an affordable price, presents itself as a title worthy of interest for fans of the shoot'em up genre or well-packaged productions with a retro taste.

A solid and worthy experience, thanks to a worthy sound accompaniment and effective pixel art.

Hot wheels Unleashed is, in some respects, a brilliant arcade driving video game. Simple, immediate, fun and just enough adrenaline, supported by an excellent technical department and which offers one of the best circuit editors that have been seen in recent years. However, it is not explained how such a well-made title can be inserted in such a cumbersome and counterintuitive menu system, in addition to the fact that in the face of an excellent interpretation of the Hot Wheels brand on an aesthetic level, it contradicts itself so evidently with the its management of the lootboxes, the underlying mechanics of the title that has influenced its internal balance in a way that is at least questionable.

For the 2021 season Milestone has worked mainly up to the aim of improving an already quite satisfactory base, postponing the technical revolution for future chapters. It will not be the most explosive episode of the series, but MXGP 2021 remains very appreciable for its soul increasingly tending to simulation.

Slipstream is a panacea for all OutRun nostalgics looking for something similar but that knows how to stand out. Drifting is wonderful in front of such well-made backgrounds, especially if there is a varied but always perfectly apt soundtrack to frame it all. Ansdor's is clearly a passion project, the videogame equivalent of project cars that enthusiasts build in their garage with their own hands. Excellent in its extreme simplicity, varied in the offer and satisfies to drive pad in hand. It is difficult to ask for more from a video game like Slipstream, maybe I have a bit more attention to detail but you can get over it without problems.

Without a shadow of a doubt Tindalos Interactive has managed to pack an interesting horror-tinged adventure. What is most intriguing is the set of action, tactics and stealth proposed by the experience, which manages to competently return the atmospheres and tension of the Alien films. Basically, if you are a fan of xenomorphs you could give the game a chance but RTS fans will have to deal with a not very developed strategic dimension, a sometimes lame soldier AI and a series of bugs that in our test have caused some setbacks that are hard to ignore.

The Pokémon TCG Pocket must be analyzed for what it is, that is, a mammoth but clearly evolving work. It is the most ambitious digitalization ever of the popular card game, as well as the main attempt to modernize its core mechanics in a few years now. From a technical point of view, the mobile app is well made and collectors will be happy to spend hours and hours immersed in decks, binders and displays of their favorite Pokémon. At the same time, a sparing distribution of the rarest cards risks undermining the experience of all users, from those who just want to "catch 'em all" to those who aim to experiment with as many competitive decks as possible. For this latter type of player, however, the biggest obstacle to overcome is the simplicity not only of the mechanics, greatly streamlined compared to the originals, but also of the cards themselves. Simplicity that can make sense in an introductory set, of course, but which must absolutely give way to deeper strategies in the near future.

Bandai Namco's remaster of the first two Patapon games, cult classics relegated to a console now obsolete, is the best way to rediscover the charm of a saga that previously suffered from problematic porting. Pyramid and Japan Studio's absurd gameplay recipe, with its blend of strategy and rhythm with RPG elements, is still irresistible despite the repetitiveness that lurks at its core, partly due to a gameplay structure that thrives in short play sessions. This collection is weighed down not only by the absence of the third game, although the choice is understandable, but also by the lack of substantial additions that might have appealed to a wider audience than just those nostalgic for the original.

Essentially, Milestone continues to build upon the winning dual formula that marked something of a renaissance for the MotoGP video game franchise—doing so with an installment capable of appealing just as much to newcomers as it does to longtime veterans. The new physics model works well and is convincing; the new Career mode represents a distinct departure from the franchise's past (though there is still some room for improvement); and the Race Off mode is entertaining, finally incorporating street bikes as well. Whether you are a die-hard MotoGP fan or simply looking for a title to unleash your inner racer, this year's edition of Milestone's sports simulator might be exactly what you're looking for.

Last Day of June remains imprinted in our memory with lightness, intensity, and melancholy. Like a hug. Like a kiss.

Ridge Racer 3D doesn't offer anything new. It's the same race and drift experience, with a nice support from graphics and 3D. Only for those in dire need of an arcade racing.

The sensitivity with which the narrative plot approached delicate themes such as fate or madness, combined with the wise management of the main characters, make it a must-have product for lovers of the ruolistic genre.

Fifa Manger 10 is a good game with a lot of stuff and hours of fun. You have the total freedom to decide to be coach, manager or president, or event every one of them at the same time. In the end the game has a solid multiplayer that can give a long lasting life during the year.

Assassin's Creed Recollection is a great game in the app store scene with an over the top offer that overwhelms lots of NDS and PSP recent productions. A must buy for who love card games.

Gameplay is solid, making this an interesting free to play space shooter. It's not yet War Thunder in orbit, but it's still more than worth a try.

WarioWare Move It! it is one of the best variations of the long-lived Nintendo saga that has ever appeared. It is a chapter that has its roots in the successful motion control-based formula tested on the Nintendo Wii but elevates it to new heights, introducing some structural and content additions with a view to enriching and diversifying the experience. It is, without a doubt, one of the most exhilarating and entertaining multiplayer games currently available on the market.

The second Elebits game is profoundly different from the Wii version: it’s a bi-dimensional adventure game, which tightly follows the rules of the genre. It is funny and various, even if the riddle resolution may seems too easy for the experienced videogamers. Technical system is functional, but the art design lacks imaginativeness and “courage” (it seems a “standard fantasy tale” concept). Dedicated to young gamers.

Except for the fascinating artistic component, which starting from that distant 2007 would become Vanillaware's trademark, GrimGrimoire OnceMore is an imperfect product and not quite worthy of the fame that the Japanese developer enjoys today, also because the reissue has retained most of the defects found in the original. However, since this is one of his very first works, we recommend its recovery not so much for RTS enthusiasts, who may find it too short and shallow, but for fans of George Kamitani and his incredible team of artists.

Netherrealm Studios and Warner Bros Games have done a great job, certainly higher than the old Kombat Packs, but once again the price is not exactly affordable.

Lords of the Fallen is therefore a rough gem, a mix of potentially interesting ideas which however struggles to express its full potential.

It was a real pleasure to send the Yokai back to their world. Ghostwire: Tokyo certainly has evident qualitative yields, sometimes leaving room for a certain playful and content redundancy, but as a whole it has a charisma that we believe deserves to be rewarded, either for the evocative reconstruction of Tokyo, or for the presence of a gameplay as simple as it is compelling, you want the attention paid to the writing and symbolism that characterize the stories of the city. Myth, folklore, irony and existential drama are then amalgamated in an adventure that has been able to prove to be a pleasant surprise.

Great storytelling, great characters and a lot of drama. If you're looking for a classic Free Roaming you can leave Mafia II on the shelf, but if you are in need of an interactive blockbuster, this game will catch you.

Mask of Truth continues to be as good as we had seen in the previous chapters of the series.

It's a nice way to get back to the Quiet Haven Hotel. A good 2D graphic adventure.

Farming Simulator 22 represents the most complete embodiment of the spirit of the series signed by Giants Software. An uncompromising simulation experience, which makes its relaxed rhythms and the vast range of contents its proud distinctive element.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

Sorry that a series like Patapon, still unique in the genre of rhythm games, is struggling to find peace between the pixels of its new editions for PlayStation 4. Mind you: Patapon 2 Remastered is a much better transposition than that which has unfairly stained the good name of the eldest Patapon.

It's an interesting experiment, and has its own way of connecting with the player, and creating emotions.

Survival Horror at its best. Old style gameplay, for a distressing and surreal adventure.

There are so many strategy games out there, that choosing Ravenmark today is probably something that just hardcore fans of the genre will consider. They'll find an interesting combat system, but nothing really extraordinary.

Black Mermaid debuts with a brutal and punitive action but at the same time manages to give great satisfaction once you have learned the different nuances that characterize its gameplay. Moonscars is an adventure with few flaws and boldly draws from the worlds of soulslike and metroidvania to propose a series of interesting solutions, the Moon and temporary enhancements above all, which make every single session almost always unpredictable and exciting.

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

RIVE is an old-fashioned shooter. Brutal by vocation and well capable of entertain hardcore gamers, it loses some of its appeal during the last missions.

The very heart of the playf experience has been remodeled to adapt to the current times and this means a functional user interface, revised in a minimalist style, stripped of distortions and unnecessary frills. Better management of menus and visuals, the introduction of a new type of unit in addition to the unlocking of 16 new factions (and of course all the DLC and mod support), finally, complete an offer that both the old centurions desk as much as the new Tribunes of the Plebs should not be missed.

There's hack'n'slashing and an interesting narration behind it. It's a good action-RPG that won't let fans of the genre down, but it still lacks polishing in some gameplay aspects.

Everything stands on the truly remarkable parkour system, perfectly integrated with a level design that is full and rich, and perfect for enhancing the new system of movement.

The concept is original, but the execution doesn't get too far. Some of the puzzles are so complicated to become frustrating, and the humour that permeates the production doesn't deliver the fun it's expected to.

A work of great impact.

Iron Brigade is a very good game. The mix of genres works out just right, as the tactical notions of a tower defense game blend in well with the action of a third-person mech shooter.

The Picross gameplay is still entertaining. Add Pokemons and what you get is a quite fun ride.

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. The certainty remains that we are faced with one of the highest creative peaks reached in those years, and what better occasion than a graphic remake to rediscover its beauty?

Sniper Elite: Resistance doesn't add or take away from the series' typical formula. The spectacular, varied and bloody kill cams remain spectacular and the level design of different levels allows for different approaches to completing missions. At the same time, the series is starting to feel the need for a refresh on several fronts, which we hope will arrive together with a new numbered iteration.

Quotation forthcoming.

In the end, Concrete Genie shows itself exactly for what it wants to be: a gentle parable, which teaches us how life is nothing but the blank canvas of our imagination.

If you like classic shooter, you should definitely give this one a chance.

An irresistible journey to hell.

Valentino Rossi The Game needs more care for aesthetic, the driving system is not perfect and still suffers from some physical inaccuracies. However, the game has accomplished a big result: it is not a plain racing game, it's a game about passion for racing.

Anyone looking for a challenging rhythm game would do well to approach any incarnation of the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series.

An absolutely phenomenal gaming experience.

Attack on Titan 2 proved to fully live up to our expectations, improving some of the less successful elements of the first episode and inserting a series of really attractive mechanics.

Quotation forthcoming.

A game of balance not always oiled to perfection, but still able to offer South Park fans a pleasant addition to the superomist adventures of the rookie.

Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is a great wasted opportunity: a triumph of playing cards accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack and a wonderful atmosphere, which however does not have time to breathe and arrives too quickly to the credits , without expanding your own story. An experiment which from the aesthetic point of view is an absolute success but which becomes too repetitive in playful terms and not very interesting in a narrative key.

So Long my love is a Strong Tactical RPG, but maybe too old to impress players of this generation.

Despite everything, the epic of Ezio Auditore should be approached with a philological spirit and a romantic soul, and we are sure that after all the charm and charisma of the Florentine protagonist will conquer you once again.

Codemasters adds a "Destruction Derby Twist" to the core formula of its rally series. The result is a fast-paced arcade, capable to entertain every fan of the genre with an accessible driving system.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

The story is vague and the gameplay repetitious. Just for series' fans.

Yomawari: Night Alone is an original horror tale that shuns 3D and hyper-realism to stake everything on the atmosphere and on the discrepancy between "cartoon" style and horrific themes.

Packaged on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the brand and brought to the hybrid of the Kyoto House to celebrate the twentieth, .hack // G.U. Last Recode for Nintendo Switch is a good opportunity to relive the epic poem by Haseo and the other Epitaph Users in portability, but also to approach the brand for the first time and rediscover one of the most precious works to bear the signature of the developer CyberConnect2. Net of washed-out textures and a long-repetitive combat system, over the years the action RPG of Bandai Namco has been able to retain its charm, which is why we strongly suggest you welcome it in your collection and let yourself be conquered by the fabulous mythology at the base. of "The World".

Sly Cooper Thieves in Time is a fun dive into an almost forgotten past, which barely survives a generation inflated by special effects and bullets. This is enough to recommend the production to all players who have grown up between bandicoot and dragons, for whom "platform" is also synonymous of "color" and "sympathy."

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

Despite a wonderful art design and graphics and sound at the state of art El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is not the masterpiece we were looking for. The team lost the way, expanding the richness of visual style but forgetting about the real deal: gameplay.

Echoes of Time is what Final Fantasy Crytal Chronicles saga should have been from the very beginning. Fast, funny and at the same time fairly deep. Possibly played with 4 friends, this game reprensent a must-buy for anyone who love RPGs.

Echoshift leaves behind the conceptual moderation of EchoChrome and delivers a nice puzzling experience.

The five maps of this DLC pack are perfectly designed to give players a lot of fun and lots of different experiences throughout all game modes. Skins and ReUP feature gives that special touch that made Fenix Rising a must buy.

EscapeVecktor is a simple and thrilling puzzle-maze game that evolves its gameplay dynamics along the adventure development. An authentic "game drug".

A great step forward beyond its predecessor.

The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav is a good quality graphic adventure which, despite based on several clichés of the fantasy tradition, manages to pull off a strong story and a powerful emotional charge.

Dungeon Crawlers is too simple for an RPG. There is no skill tree, no real equipment system and no tactics in all the combat. It's only for you if you are searching for a really soft dungeon experience.

Don't be fooled by the reduced duration of Seven's adventure: after the finale you will be delighted by numerous additions during the second game, and the new awareness gained in the course of exploring Aryish could push you to renew your approach, looking for other avenues. The narration will satisfy the fans of Isaac Asimov's great science fiction, with suggestions of a religious nature that recall the works of Roger Zelazny and Philip Kindred Dick; the possibilities for in-depth analysis offered by the documents then recall works such as The Talos Principle (2014). There remain some small regrets: we would have liked a greater characterization of the inhabitants, robotic and otherwise, of the planet Aryish, and on some occasions the lack of variety of enemies leaves room for a small dose of monotony. Vesper, however, remains a star that shines bright in the sky of Italian videogame development, and which we recommend without reservation.
