Trepang2 is not a perfect title and suffers from some problems that often afflict the productions of smaller teams that aim too high. Net of some flaws in the gameplay and a campaign that runs out too quickly, the work signed by Trepang Studios is damned fun to play, why launch yourself to the massacre of the soldiers, between the use of powers and the activation of the bullet time , is nothing short of satisfying.

Project Winter is a fun, well thought out and pleasant survival-cooperative also from an aesthetic point of view.

Cursed Mountain is surely a title which stands out from the crowd. It’s not properly a survival horror, as in some ways it’s more a voyage through the ancient heights of the Himalaya, with the millenarian Tibetan culture as a rich framework. In terms of gameplay the combat system is fun and the controller’s motion sensor are well used and give a contribute to the title’s variety. The only faults are the non responsive controls and some plot elements which are not explained in an exhaustive way.

Call of Duty Vanguard is a particular episode, a collage of experiences that do not all have the same inspiration and quality. There is a very effective but not very original PvP, a short and breathless campaign, a Zombie mode that is almost a reward, with the promise of progressively growing. Depending on your needs, then decide whether or not to approach this year's chapter: if you like the cooperative experience against hordes of undead, you will probably just need a little patience.

Very similar to the first game of the series (Bit.Trip Beat), this chapter has nice visuals and a good soundtrack.

If we could extrapolate the sole essence of the narrative sector of Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE, our judgment on the production would be much more flattering. Unfortunately, the new creation of the authors of Danganronpa is plagued by some problems related to the rhythm of the story. A technical sector that is not too dusty and gameplay elements that are not fully developed help to limit the great potential of Too Kyo Games' work. Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE remains in any case a title capable of being appreciated by lovers of investigative adventures with disturbing atmospheres.

The potential for Bleeding Edge certainly does not seem to be lacking, and indeed the bases for something encouraging can still be seen: it remains to be seen what will be the support for the title in the medium / long term, the only factor actually able to transform what is today a promise with so much personality in a truly noteworthy exclusive.

Mad Riders is a good arcade title starring the long time inflated quads. The game, however, is ideal for anyone looking for a fast-paced game, easy to understand.

We hope this is a new beginning for Mystery Dungeon: a stylistic starting point on which to build future titles, which will have to add some more playful variation to the mix to be able to speak to a wider audience, in addition to the limited circle of fans who obviously they won't let them get away.

Warcraft Rumble turned out to be a surprisingly deep and engaging strategic experience. Despite some technical drawbacks, the game has managed, in our opinion, to fit into the crowded market of "tower offense" titles for mobile devices thanks to an unexpected depth of gameplay mechanics and its very refined graphic style . Those who are willing to overcome the obstacles of monetization and a difficulty curve that is not perfectly balanced will find themselves faced with an excellent product, capable of entertaining for hours and hours.

FIFA World Cup can be interesting if you haven't played FIFA 14: otherwise is just a very expensive update.

Card Game meets RTS, in an unusual but thrilling game experience.

If you played Guardian of Light then what you'll find here is more of the same but that's not such a bad thing.

This is an interesting product, which the most curious players, looking for unusual titles, should hold in high esteem.

Wolfenstein is a good game even without excel in gameplay or graphics or story telling. The single player was impressive (long, funny) but the multiplayer lacks in quality and gives real satisfactions only to old fans of the brand.

Crow is an interesting game with fresh gameplay mechanics and a stunning graphical impact.

Younger users will certainly be happy to replay the series but the most experienced will probably struggle to complete all three episodes. For them the trilogy will have a more nostalgic value.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a work that welcomes the most nostalgic players in a vortex of reassuring and melancholic atmospheres, and at the same time tries to shake up the status quo of the saga with ambitious narrative choices. Re-embracing the iconic Max Caulfield represents a pleasant dip into the past, especially because the guys at Deck Nine have managed to respect the traditional elements - narrative and artistic - of the first Life is Strange. But the return of "Super Max" did not entirely convince us, with subplots that were not particularly brilliant and twists that at times seemed exaggerated. Although the gameplay formula is interesting, the game framework then stumbles into some naivety. The best Life is Strange by Deck Nine is still the one that takes place before the storm.

It might not be cheap, but it's still a good remaster of a legendary game.

Ginger: Beyond the Crystal is an "anthology" game, which bases its game design on the collection of the most common mechanics that have marked the history and evolution of the platform genre.

It's not original in tactical design, but it's still a solid offer for the COD aficionados, and it confirms Sledgehammer's talent.

Tribes Ascend is an alternative fps shaped for the requests of the fans, keeping intact the virtues of the original products.

It might not impress the eye, but it's still an original experience, one you should try if you're looking for something different.

Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is a funny and spectacular fighting game: a huge mix of explosions, superheroes and terrifying villains, more sparkling than ever in this PS4 version.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is not the game for whom has already played the counterpart on PS3 or XboX 360. With that said, the last portable instalment of the series is a good action game for everyone.

A fresh setting and effective dialogue writing combine with the mechanics of a fast, physical action RPG, with numerous offensive possibilities. The combat system based on blades, magic and projectiles is immediate and fun, above all because the challenge level forces you to face each battle carefully without reaching the heights of difficulty of a classic soulslike, while it is pleasant to explore this large but not dispersive with the aerial maneuvers of its protagonist. If one-on-one battles allow us to admire real dances of death, we do not find the same good sensations in battles against multiple enemies. The sense of progression remains satisfying until the end of the campaign despite the limited variety of weapons, armor and rivals to defeat, while the few boss fights do not differ much from the conflicts with the classic enemies of the open world. However, the currency system based on a multiplier is absolutely promoted: this is the real idea that makes the game enjoyable until the end credits, minus its rough edges.

Silent Hill Downpour brings the series back to the origins, involving free exploration of the town and lots of intresting puzzles. A must buy for the hardcore fans.

It's an interesting second chapter, and somehow it feels like the true opening of the story. The narrative finally meets Martin's true style, and that could make for some interesting twist and turns in the upcoming episodes.

Evergate gave us a stimulating and extremely evocative experience whose underlying apparent simplicity was only the prelude to a progression full of stimuli and interesting ideas.

A difficult puzzle game, suitable only for genre lovers.

The challenge is often quite limited, and that could be a problem for some player, but it's still an interesting game.

Stranglehold with a "tarantinian" twist. Good for old gamers and hard boiled fans.

FlickPig is a simple but irresistible title, coming with well animated charachters that feamale gamers above all will love. Gameplay choices aren't very clever but the game asks acting rapidly, giving a pleasant feeling.

A well crafted episodes, that confirms the good character building and developing behind the scenes. As usual in Telltale's games, you have a genuine illusion of making true choices.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is a heartfelt product that, despite a playful system that is not always adequately precise, offers a long-lasting, energetic and spectacular experience.

Following the legacy of the first chapter, but focusing on an interesting online mode, White Knight Chronicles 2 delivers a solid experience for RPG Fans.

Steel Storm is a nice scrolling shooter, with a few innovative features (as the first person view you can activate at will). Too bad it delivers a quite short experience.

FIFA Superstars is really addicting, and if you gain his fever, you'll visit its internal store often. It's apparently free, but if you have no patience, it offers a lot of expensive virtual credit.

Even if aspects like online multiplayer, graphic filters and general presentation have been taken care of, the absence of really interesting extras makes this project a kind of wasted opportunity.

It's an explosive all-you-can-shoot fest. The absolute freedom will amaze you in the beginning, but it's still a mostly empty, albeit beautiful, box. If you love action for the sake of action and 90's action movies, you will just feel at home.

Atlas Fallen manages to mix its constituent elements with a certain harmony. Its sandy world is pleasant to explore and contains a secondary offering that - while not straying from what we have seen in other exponents of the open world genre - expands the hour count in an uncontrived way. The clashes at the center of the experience are satisfying, thanks to the well-constructed combat system. Together with the ups and downs of performance and in terms of artistic direction, the narrative scaffolding is the most sore point of the production, which, net of its rough edges, however, is capable of genuinely entertaining.

Bright Memory Infinite is not without flaws, but thanks to the use of a fast and intuitive combat system it keeps the player glued to the screen for the two hours it takes to reach the end credits. To make the offer even more attractive is the method of distribution of the game, which can be downloaded at no additional cost by all owners of Bright Memory (who will find Infinite in the library starting from 12 November 2021). Furthermore, if you have not yet purchased the title, know that its price on the Valve platform is really negligible: only 8.19 euros. An element that cannot be ignored in the evaluation, which perfectly counterbalances the poor longevity of the adventure and a few too many edges.

Metrico is an original puzzle game, but is too short to stand out.

The exit from Early Access, then, seemed a bit too hasty: without going into the merits of the number of maps available, in terms of visual cleanliness, optimization and quality of the interface there is still much to improve. In short, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds works well, but it's a modest game...But remember that between phenomena and masterpiece, there is often an abysmal difference.

Dark Meadow is an interesting horror twist in a well known formula.

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.

It doesn't add anything new to the main concept, but as far as "more of the same" products go, this remains a well-crafted one.

A very respectable tie-in.

Ultimately, Super Monkey Ball Banan Rumble is the classic hit-and-run game that will give great satisfaction especially to those who love playing multiplayer, whether with friends at home or online. Perhaps dedicating yourself only to the single player mode is not enough to fully enjoy the experience, but the quantity of stages and the vast range of customization could satisfy even those who only want to try their hand at the Adventure. The strong point of the production is certainly the gameplay, which offers a mix of simplicity, immediacy and depth capable of satisfying both casual players and those looking for a higher level of challenge.

Surely not a masterpiece in global design and artistic quality. Still, Impostors is quite funny if you're looking for a frag night.

Being enveloped by the atmosphere of Evil Dead: The Game, by the cold of dismay and the heat of blood is a real pleasure: the beauty of terror is more evident than ever and allows the franchise to get out of that vortex of negativity that has overwhelmed the its videogame incarnations. The problems on the content and gameplay front could compromise the longevity of the title, whose long-term success remains an unknown at the moment. The hope is that the developers work hard to constantly entertain a community of enthusiasts who can keep production alive, so that the blood continues to flow for a long time to come.

Jagged Alliance: Back in Action is a game that you will love or hate. The "plan & go" system takes a different direction from its predecessor and many fans of the saga could be disappointed. In any case this is still a good and deep strategy game that can be enjoyed by the fans of the genre.

Puddle is another good puzzle game for PS Vita. Despite its charming graphic style and sound, its good longevity, its responsive control system and a well packed gameplay, Puddle fails to enchant and surprise as hoped.

Playing the NeocoreGames title, we had mixed feelings. If from a tactical and managerial point of view the product can offer a demanding challenge even for the most demanding players, some choices in the game mechanics appear not entirely in focus. The technical care for every aspect is evident from the very first minutes and the ambitions of the development team in wanting to create an epic story of battles and magic make King Arthur: Knight's Tale a work of great aspirations. We cannot help but notice how these go in more than one circumstance to shatter against a lack of variety in some respects. In any case, the possibility of developing a plot full of characters and events in several ways gives the title a fair amount of replayability and content, which will satisfy fans of the genre.

Enjoyable to play and absolutely beautiful to look at, Trek to Yomi is a perfect homage to a piece of Japanese film history and culture. Linked as much to the world of the living as to the land of the dead, the protagonist's journey does not offer particularly surprising narrative implications, but despite this it lets itself be followed and is the backdrop to a playful and audiovisual experience in the name of historical fidelity. Rich in breathtaking views and long shots capable of enhancing an exploratory component not free from imperfections and the beauty of very evocative scenarios, Leonard Menchiari's adventure has been able to intrigue us with his combat system which, while relying on choices that are not always in focus, made you feel like real samurai. Fans of Kurosawa's works, as well as those looking for a style full of style but with more staid rhythms, would do well to wear the kimono and leave with Hiroki.

Especially on the graphics side we expected something more, as the game still feels and looks practically the same. If you missed this one on console though, it's still one hell of a ride.

Grim Dawn has classic gameplay that rewards strategy and penalizes superficiality in order to get a more hardcore dimension of the hack ‘n slash world. This definitely balances the technical, narrative and artistic shortcomings, unnoticeable to the farming devoted ones, but clear to those who want a more immersive ad modern experience.

Pokemon series had begun to be somehow tired, lacking serious innovations. To change the Pokemon names and renew their styles is not the way refresh the formula.

Atomic Heart tries to do everything it can and wants: in fact, it offers a combat system that mixes firearms and powers, and then lowers everything into an open world that is a bit of an end in itself. The possibility of building custom builds is not lacking, just as there is a very detailed crafting system. Yet the gameplay ends up stumbling when the extreme dynamism of the droids is contrasted by the heavy movements of P-3 (and the use of Polymers is not enough to change the cards on the table). In terms of artistic direction, on the other hand, the title of Mundfish finds its maximum expression, also thanks to the good lighting system. We would have just preferred a greater balance between the various playful components underlying the experience.

In the end Free Realms doesn't show anything really deep or innovative compared to what we can find in other similar games, but it's still a good way to have a first approach to an overly played genre like MMOs, collecting and presenting to the customer a great deal of minigames that can offer something different for each time we log in.

It's an interesting fourth chapter: although the gameplay is once again too simple, the narrative side is indeed more mature and filled with plot twists. Makes one hope the the finale can still raise the overall bar.

BroForce is just the best run&gun since Metal Slug.

The rich narrative component, historical flagship of the Bandai Namco brand, and the appropriate simplification of the combat system, make God Eater 3 the perfect companion for adventures during the current season.

Pokemon series had begun to be somehow tired, lacking serious innovations. To change the Pokemon names and renew their styles is not the way refresh the formula.

An imperfect and crude, but still surprising title.

There's some familiarity with the gameplay mechanics here that doesn't make this DLC as interesting as its predecessor.

Torchlight is undoubtedly a bold and successful clone of Diablo. Because of graphical glitches and the lack of multiplayer, the game isn't a masterpiece of the genre, but certainly we are looking at a video game fun and addictive at the right point.

The White March focuses on the combat, and that might be good if that's what you loved about Pillars of Eternity. The narration is still sound, but you'll spend more time fighting than ever.

My Little Monster is something more than an App. It is a crazy experience jumped out of the mind of Pär Fredriksson. It's short, someway limited, but it does entertain, so take it. It's $1.

Great potential, but not a flawless realization.

Ys: The Oath in Felghana has a lot of qualities. Some issues and its peculiar gameplay, make it a niche game.

Kickin Momma is a sort of Peggle clone, but appears as a good alternative for more casual players.

Although far from excellence, Shank 2 is able to improve every aspect of the prequel. Recommended to fans of the genre, despite a few hours are sufficient to complete the main adventure.

It's a very good musou, filled with content and personalization. If you love the saga, you should really consider this one.

As a third iteration of this shooter shooter, however, Battle for Neighborville expresses itself in a very similar way to its predecessors, deviating very little in terms of offer and gameplay. We are talking, however, about a very enjoyable game, with an apt progression that will keep you busy for a long time, especially considering the updates that will come in the future.

It might appear as an easy game to play, but there's depth in the mechanics, and the visual style is just right.

A frenzied pace, a deep gameplay and a high level of difficulty: these are the ingredients of Downwell, a solid and brilliant videogame, which is still unable to get completely rid of its mobile origins, though.

A nice chance to try a solid Puzzle Game that finally leaves Japan shores thanks to DsiWare service.

The expectations on Majin and The Forsaken Kingdom have to be redimensioned. The storytelling is "only" good despite the potential. On the other side gameplay works really well and, despite a lack in challenge, the game is really interesting.

It's a crazy DLC that will please Trials fans. It's a shame that the gameplay remains so classic, and doesn't dare going a bit further from what we've seen in the main game.

Tales of Monkey Island: The Lair of the Leviathan is a great game, the best so far out of the five chapters divided in the saga. All small defects found in the predecessors have been filed at least partially if not eliminated. But the real point of reference is the excellent script, spiced by irreverent and entertaining dialogue and memorable characters. Good also is the longevity of each chapter standing on 4-5 hours. Recommended for everyone: old and new gamers.

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.

“To JRPG lovers” is the first sentence we read when starting Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, testifying to the intentions that moved the developers of Rabbit&Bear Studios Inc.. In fact, the game is an impeccable collection of quotes, ideas, mechanics and plots dating back to various sacred monsters of the genre, also staged with careful artistic direction and truly "in love" with its sources of inspiration. However, despite knowing this, it cannot be denied that even with the same addends a derivative sum was obtained, which does not have the same expressive force and lacks some basic attention to the quality of life, which certainly would not have distorted the product, while making it digestible. to the modern audience. Nonetheless, enthusiasts looking for a nostalgic and deliberately taken-from-another-era experience will have what they want.

If you spend hours and hours in farming it does not scare you or if you simply look for a fun and immediate game to take advantage of while waiting for the bus, then Puzzle Fighter is perfect for you.

Shattered Dimension is an old style action/adventure, solid and -most of all- varied. Too bad that a splendid level design meets a clumsy engine. Some camera issues and bad collision spoils a pleasant experience.

Strange crossing between pinball and pachinko, Peggle is one of PopCap's greatest hits on all platforms in which it appeared. The second episode debuted on Xbox One, serving as a colorful "more of the same".

Xenon Racer is rewarding, fun and well thought out.

It's an interesting graphic adventure, but in the end the narrative feels less and less focused, and the puzzles are way too easy for veterans of the genre.

Despite some occasional qualitative fluctuations and a small failure in the final bars, in fact, the history of the DLC remains on the excellent levels seen both in the base game and in the previous expansion.

On Nintendo Switch the title seems to dull some angularity due to its endemic repetitiveness and maintains the metaludic hilarity that distinguishes this "epic" fantasy adventure.

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.

Following the example of Star Ocean: The Second Story R, ​​Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is an extremely faithful remake of the original material that, rather than aiming to conquer the new generations, confidently chooses to address almost exclusively historical fans and those who still prefer gaming experiences that respect the typical canons of the old school. Although the adjustments made to the gameplay have made it more accessible and enjoyable, the combat system lacks the strategic depth for which the series and its genre are renowned; as a result, the options available in battle are very limited and the random encounters consume practically the same way, resulting in a repetitive and boring experience in the long run. While fans might find Ortega's flashbacks and the new graphics a pleasant incentive to dust off a great classic from another time, newcomers risk coming up against outdated logic and mechanics, which unfortunately the Dragon Quest series doesn't seem ready to bury in its glorious past yet.

Doki Doki Universe is one of those "liminal" experiences between video games and interactive story, held together by brilliant ideas and the willingness to break the classicism of entertainment.

The new work by Bertil Hörberg will keep you glued to the Switch screen thanks to its style and its adorable vintage look.

Natural Selection 2 is an interesting multiplayer FPS with an important RTS section, decisive for the final victory. It offers great variety but is highly competitive and features just a single game mode.

Unmechanical is a great puzzle game. Every aspect of the game is well balanced and the player has always the freedom to solve puzzles in lots of ways, avoiding annoyance.

At the moment, net of its obvious limits, we advise you to give it a chance: try it, all in all, it costs nothing.

Wrath of the Druids is ultimately good add-on content for the Assassin's Creed Valhalla Season Pass. The Irish expansion packs a challenging and stimulating experience, and in terms of quantity, the content offered in the DLC proved to be more than satisfactory. However, it is in substance that Eivor's new adventure would have needed a greater refinement: the narrative component, more linear and less disorganized than the English countryside, lends itself to several drops in pace while offering some interesting characters.
