Turmoil is an extremely simple game, and this is why it can keep the players tied to the screen for hours. On the other hand, repetitiveness is around the corner and despite the variety of situations faced in each level, you won't probably start a new campaign after finishing your first playthrough.

Quotation forthcoming.

The judgment on SX6 does not differ much from that of the previous episode: Milestone continued on the path traced last year, focusing on an even more accessible and customizable driving model to satisfy a wider audience. In terms of content there is not much to complain about: the spectacular "Rhythm Attack" has been added, cross-play has been implemented in multiplayer and some tweaks have been given to the other game modes. A refinement work that involved a bit of the entire Milestone simulation, in particular the AI and the physics engine. Despite the addition of a mentor like Jeremy McGrath, Career fails to be at the level of other motor productions. The same goes for the technical sector which still does not excite. And it's a pity: with graphics fully in step with the times and a Career mode of much greater depth, Milestone's racing would have been a little gem.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree draws from the recipes of various chefs and throws everything into its cauldron. The elements are almost all in the right place; yet, it needs that extra pinch of originality to go above average. If the Metroidvania aspects are convincing, the same cannot be said of the artificial boss battles and a progression system that seems to travel behind the player's needs. Whether you are a fan of the genre or not, the offer proposed by Primal Game Studio remains a valid pastime with which to entertain yourself without great pretensions, especially if you are looking for a title of this type focused on narrative.

Has an undeniable charm.

Yesterday Origins advances the storyline of its previous chapter, deeply exploring the protagonist's past and building a dark and exciting plot.

Sonic Superstars is exactly what longtime fans wanted from a modern iteration of the series. The new graphics are wonderful and the level design of the stages is well thought out. The main campaign immediately highlights the good replayability of the work thanks to the introduction of four different characters, each of which has unique abilities capable of modifying the approach to the levels and renewing the experience, while the multiplayer modes, which do not allow you to replicate with the same force the heady sprints performed in single player. To this we add some unrewarding bonus phases and some uncertainties regarding the effectiveness of the movement system during the boss fights. Yet Superstars remains a must-see for fans of the blue hedgehog, as well as a recommended purchase for fans of the reference genre.

By adapting Monster Hunter's playful formula to the Niantic model, which this time around has been revised to meet the needs of the most isolated players, the Californian studio has created its most frenetic and fun application this time. Presenting only thirteen large monsters and six categories of weapons, at present the content offering appears a little lacking, but knowing Niantic and its already confirmed intention to support the product with seasonal events that will introduce new stories, creatures, equipment and so on other, Monster Hunter Now seems to be traveling towards an overall rosy future.

We therefore recommend purchasing it only for retrogaming enthusiasts and anyone who has a sincere desire to (re) discover the origins of the tri-Ace home brand.

Marvel's Iron Man VR is exactly as we expected: immersive, frenetic and witty as the superhero to whom the game is dedicated. An intuitive, articulated and almost perfect control system is counterbalanced only by the technical limitations and the cumbersome cabling of PSVR.

Some playful choices that are not always coherent and shareable weaken the aura of a product that is still fun and long-lived, which fans will welcome with open arms, albeit with the awareness that the fusion between the imagery of Dragon Ball and the role-playing game has failed to perfection.

Rage 2 is a frenetic, brutal and satisfying shooter, but it is too easy to complete and it lacks content. At least the game made by id Software and Avalanche is still an enjoyable experience.

If you love westerns, you might consider this one. The gameplay is surely not original, but the turn based strategy is indeed well crafted.

Space Hulk: Tactics is perhaps the only game inspired by Games Workshop tabletop to reproduce the reference material in a rather faithful and complete way.

Naturally a niche game. No effort has been made by the development team to broaden the user base.

Madden 25 has some new aspects but also the same faults of the past, showing how the lack of competition is not good to Electronic Arts products.

If you leave the nostalgia for the sharp pixels of the old Nidhogg, you can appreciate the depth and variety of the new backdrops, and let yourself be persuaded to handle the new weapons.

Unique remakes of their kind, which find all their strengths and weaknesses in the morbid attachment to the past.

Ultimately, Jojo All Star Battle R is a title that can entertain for a long time, but with numerous reservations: if you are a JoJo fan and want to have fun in single or with friends locally, this product will offer you a gigantic roster, with iconic characters and animated with extreme care, moved by a simple and intuitive combat system. But if you are looking for a deep multiplayer experience, especially online, you better look elsewhere. The remaster operation is overall appreciable, but the unjustified absence of a netcode at the height heavily undermines the entire gaming experience.

The restless Rad and foul-mouthed Dusty debut on PC with the first episode of a new series. Their adventure is a classic run'n'gun, like the ones we used to play in the '90s. It puts on the plate six levels and an awful boss-fight, mixing platforming and shooting in a very trivial way.

Quotation forthcoming.

Evil West is not a cornerstone of the action genre, but it is a product supported by a solid and fun combat system. Facing hordes of monstrous creatures with a vast and customizable arsenal through numerous upgrades is rewarding enough to overshadow the not excellent technical realization, as well as a narrative that is not without flaws. Not to be negligible is also the inclusion in the package of an online cooperative mode which could be the perfect excuse to relive Jesse Reinter's epic alongside a friend, perhaps to unlock every single secret and make the slaughters even more fun. monsters.

Disneyland Adventures is a fair kids game that can be fun to play with your children or your nephew.

For those who played Second Son, this first DLC has something more to add on a narrative standpoint, but less to say when it comes to the gameplay.

Unstoppable Gorg is a surprising tower defense game. The cutscenes are unique and in perfect '50s style. Challenging and interesting.

Mario Strikers: Battle League Football is in fact yet another sensational goal by Next Level Games.

Kinect Sports has some interesting activities, but some of the minigame are dull and laughable. Boxe and Table Tennis lacks precision, while Volleyball is the best activity included in the package.

West of Dead had excellent potential to stand out very well in the roguelite scene, but the developers' work was only half done.

The playful foundations of Creed: Rise to Glory seemed to us to be decidedly solid.

Even after 15 years from the publication of the first Ninja Gaiden it is easy to appreciate its majesty and all the nuances of the combat system proposed by Itagak.

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

This second part should've transported graphic adventures fans back in the days of old. Sadly, it practically wastes all the good premises of the prologue. Most of the puzzles don't make much sense, and you'll be mostly exploring areas that you already know. Also the narrative looses momentum, and seems to forget from where it all started.

It might not be the perfect game for hardcore multiplayer veterans, but it's the perfect experience for every Star Wars fan out there. Where the balancing, variety and finesse of the main competitors lack, there's plenty of game modes to have fun with, and the pure spectacle of the furious battles is just stunning.

Links' n Launch is an original puzzle game. The main mode will test player's reflexes and ability to move objects in space, while the puzzle mode contains 100 intricate logic diagrams.

Many years after the franchise's debut, Big Brain Academy returns to the scene with an episode that has little new.

Behind the aseptic look of laboratories and whitecoats, lays an interesting puzzle, offering interesting level design solutions and, overall, a solid adventure.

The Zone of the Enders HD collection is a very rich package: the perfect opportunity for both old and new fans to experience a great classic from Kojima Productions.

The core of the experience remains enjoyable and fun, as long as you take it more like a more of the same, if not almost an expansion of the first Contracts, and accept its obvious limitations and problems.

War of the Roses, thanks to its genuine feeling and its peculiar gameplay mechanics, is one of the best combat simulations on PC.

Anarchy Reigns is the last act of the relationship between Sega and Platinum Games. The final seal is not a masterpiece like Bayonetta, but quite a brawler game that transports the world of Mad World in multiplayer arenas.

The cocktail of genres proposed by SEGA can be considered an experiment that was only half successful, also because of an overly repetitive narrative and excessively stereotyped characters.

By limiting itself to increasing the already high number of unlockable creatures, which in this case has established a real record, the developer Media.Vision has not made substantial changes to the dated technical sector, recycling rather blatantly textures and polygonal models of a game launched on the Japanese market three years ago.

Dustforce is a unusual and brilliant scrolling videogame, starring a task force of powerful janitors. With broom and vacuum cleaner, we will sweep the game levels by all sorts of garbage. Cleaning has never been so fun.

This iPad version works really well, and Gabriel Knight is always a great character.

It comes really late in Europe, but it's worth all of your consideration if you like the genre. The narration is sound, and the gameplay delivers loads of fun.

Vita is the perfect platform for Nihilumbra, but the gameplay is still to unbalanced to completely satisfy.

A title that we have appreciated more than we would have expected.

The only real missteps made by the developer Qureate are represented, in this case, by a practically absent narrative sector and by the tedious backtracking sessions to which the title subjects the user between one puzzle and another.

Narita Boy is an experience to be lived and enjoyed, delightfully straddling two worlds (always and in any case made of pixels, complete with simulated curvature of the CRT monitor on the sides of the screen).

Meet Your Maker is a particularly fun title thanks to the combination of shooting, exploration and construction of the fort. The playful recipe has proved to be fairly varied and never excessively monotonous, although the players' choices are still rather limited. In other words, insiders will have to continue to support the project so that the community can indulge in creating ever more ingenious bunkers and outposts but, more than anything else, capable of claiming countless victims.

Zenless Zone Zero is an immediate and fun game, which manages to capture the user with a perfect aesthetic profile and its fights full of spectacularity. Of course, some will not appreciate the presence of puzzles or the absence of a component linked to the exploration of more open maps, but in any case we are talking about a solid production, perfect to pair with free to play games which require much more perseverance and commitment like Genshin Impact.

Total Chaos unfortunately ends up falling victim to the very chaos in which its protagonist is trapped, preventing its excellent ideas from fully emerging. Nevertheless, it remains a game that, despite its flaws, manages to make an impact and leave its mark.

Now in its third act, The Dark Pictures Anthology shows the first signs of a perhaps inevitable fatigue. Wisely trying to involve and amaze the player with unprecedented stylistic ideas, Supermassive Games chooses to adopt a more impactful pace, and thus creates another type of horror where violence takes precedence over restlessness. Between slight additions and repeated defects, House of Ashes is, without too many surprises, at the same qualitative level as its predecessors, with a small downward or upward decline based on the preferences of individual users, who may or may not like the cinematic sub-genre. staged by the studio. We do not yet fully know what the future of the series will hold for us, although the game - as always - provides us with some clues in the form of a premonition: what is certain is that the horror will change its aspect again.

It's a good platform, all things considered, and one that doesn't regret to celebrate some of the best sagas of the genre. Clearly, it ends struggling to find its own identity, but platforming fans will be engaged.

Despite their inexperience with the stylish action genre, the Reply Game Studio guys have developed a multifaceted and innovative combat system, which uses the different resources of Briar and Lute in a very ingenious way. On the flip side, the excessive chaos that arose during the battles, combined with a camera that we believe to be almost entirely redesigned, too often penalizes the reading of the action, complicating even the simplest challenges. Hoping that the Italian studio will roll up its sleeves to at least partially remedy the shortcomings of the product, we recommend its purchase to fans of heart-pounding clashes.

Even without any affinity with the core installment of Ridge Racer, Unbounded, thanks to some interesting game mechanics and a solid multiplayer, manages to be a good arcade racing game.

Even if it is not a full-blown sequel and does not do much to revolutionize the saga, The Walking Dead Saints & Sinners Chapter 2: Retribution remains that formidable mix of survival horror and action that focuses on immersion and physical involvement, fully centering the objective. The new weapons, faster pace and stealth mechanics introduced with the night missions are interesting enough additions to justify returning to spooky New Orleans. The quality bar rises significantly on PlayStation VR 2, thanks to a port that significantly improves the performance and graphics of the version originally released on Meta Quest 2.

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.

Honey, I Joined a Cult uses the same cynicism already seen in Cult of the Lamb to decline it in a totally managerial sauce, and it does so with great success. In the face of some aesthetic choices that are not exactly inspired and of options in the missions at times with a somewhat obscure outcome, the title developed by Sole Survivor Games fully convinces, also thanks to the wide range of options. And now you will have to apologize, but we must return to venerate the supreme Parasaurolophus: it will also be a herbivorous dinosaur, but it is better not to make it angry ...

A great "HD Edition", with some interesting additions regarding boss battles from the second chapter and a functional control scheme.

It's a strong DLC, filled with carefully crafted and replayable content. Bungie is clearly still struggling to understand its own game, and to balance between its vision and the community's desires, but this might be a step in the right direction.

Vibrant and colorful, Dragon Quest Treasures is a fun and entertaining action RPG, which we recommend to both newbies and experts of the genre. Due to the excessive backtracking and the expected cyclical routine of the gameplay, it may not be the classic title to devote entire days to, but on the other hand, the spin-off lends itself very well to fleeting sessions, perhaps aimed at interspersing much more demanding activities. The most successful elements of the package are the combat system, satisfying and intuitive, and the amount of content, which we are convinced will be able to give you many hours of entertainment in the always fascinating Dragon Quest universe.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate is an average action game, far from the feeling of its predecessor.

Dead Rising 4 marks the end of the series for as we knew it. It is a new starting point for a saga that has decided to abandon any survival elements, transforming itself in a rowdy and light-weighted action game.

The "modern graphic adventure genre" has been evolving at great speed in the last few months, and today Beyond feels a already a bit old. The price is just right though, and if you like the genre, you might give it a chance.

Genre fans will of course be happy of this revival, but the writing isn't as good as we hoped.

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

Quotation forthcoming.

Serious Sam 3: BFE is designed primarily for fans and hardcore gamers, with its classic arcade gameplay. The Croteam title deserves to be remembered as one of the best examples of its kind, being tightly tied to the past.

We are faced with a desecrating and violent work, often at the limits of the grotesque, a fun interactive b-movie full of action and dismemberments. Very enjoyable if played in company, Rebellion's new work, however, struggles to be appreciated in equal measure even by lone players, who could soon be removed from a repetitiveness at times really difficult to accept without that injection of extra enjoyment deriving from the strategic implications typical of multiplayer games.

Despite a not-so-good porting from the mobile version, it still has a great appeal for Final Fantasy fans out there, as the story is interesting and the action combat system compelling.

Legend of Mana Remastered is a production worthy of respect, a must especially for those who love the series and have loved the re-editions seen in recent years.

Quotation forthcoming.

When Vikings Attack! is a funny videogame. Sometimes chaos will overwhelm the player, but this game is recommended to action lovers.

We therefore cannot help but welcome The Wonderful 101 Remastered with open arms, a must for anyone who has admired the Platinum Games creations or the videogame action tout court, had not yet had the opportunity to join the crazy race of Hideki Kamiya and his large task force of polychrome heroes.

RACE Pro is an upstream game, without any redundant option, totally focused on gameplay mechanics. SimBin Studios delivered, despite an old looking aesthetics, a Triple A game, using their experience and their passion for races. We want to reward RACE Pro, even if it don't reach the top of the genre, because the feeling it delivers is sensational and solid. A competitive challenge for all car lovers.

This new Anno is way different from its predecessors, and it focuses more on the management aspects. The strategic aspects are not fully developed, and that doesn't help the full package.

With Just Dance 2014 Ubisoft does not invent anything, but successfully continues in the path already traced by the predecessors.

Exudes passion for motorcycles from every pore.

Just Dance 2022 is a dance without a revolution, but what a dance, ladies and gentlemen. Strengthened by a sensational line-up that ranges from the old glories of the past to the new stars of the present (even virtual ones), the last chapter of the series focuses on the quality of the selected pieces and on choreographies of indisputable specific weight. The various levels of difficulty ensure an experience within everyone's reach.

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.

A more than satisfying pastime, able to entertain for a few hours without the weight of the pay to win.

The half open world is not enough to make this chapter really shine. Fans of the saga will find good characters and a compelling combat system, but it's still clearly an old gen experience.

Naruto Clash Of Ninja Revolution 2 European Version is a good game, it has a great number of game modes and characters. Unfortunately, the inexplicable difference between the classic control scheme and the Wiimote one, with some of the fighting mechanics merely cut off when you play with a normal pad, are there to discourage beat’em up fans.

The arcade gameplay is perfect for a portable soccer experience, but some issues with graphic and sound ruins the global experience.

Fans of Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle will immediately feel at home among the streets and underground passages of Rome explored in Order of Giants. In terms of dialogue, cinematics, and recreation of real-world locations, the DLC performs quite well and offers mostly well-crafted puzzles, with the exception of one puzzle that was interesting on paper but not without its rough edges in practice. Narratively, this content has its moments, but in our opinion, it failed to fully exploit the potential of the main elements constituting the story, which proved anything but essential. That said, those who want to extend their stay in the world built by Machine Games now have the opportunity to do so.

Cars 2 is a simple but funny arcade racing, full of game modes and blessed by an interesting track design.

Eliminating hordes of criminals with the Auto-9 while the soundtrack of the original film plays in the background is certainly a satisfying experience for fans. Net of pleasant moments, born of nostalgia and located mainly in the first portion of the game, RoboCop Rogue City is a decent game, but not particularly solid as a whole. In fact, it shows the side of a series of technical and gameplay problems to which anyone who is not a die-hard fan of the most famous policeman in cinema will hardly be able to turn a blind eye.

Some interesting brand news features refresh this standard FPS.

Aarklash Legacy is a good strategy RPG with a fascinating narrative component, but with a structure that is not always convincing.

The investigation of Erica Reed is a good mix of ideas, that can transmit the emotions of the characters and explain very well the events occurred during the gameplay. Cinematics are good as well as the in-game graphic “drawing style”, but there are many defects on animations that lower the technical global quality. Puzzles are good and mixed well in the context in which Erica trying to find her real dimension. The game presents a good characterization of the main character, explaining her gift - the cognition - with the right reasons.

Lively and colorful on the graphic level, pressing and dubbed on the sound level, the title of Sumo Digital is a hymn to the SEGA series: speeding on the track with the characters of Sonic The Hedgehog is a pleasure that will satisfy all the most ardent fans of the franchise.

It doesn't get close to the stylistic perfection of the first chapters, and the control scheme isn't well developed as it should be. On the other hand, if you love the brand and have a Vita, this could be the chance to carry it with you at all times, although not in its best form.

Quotation forthcoming.

The constant support of Abbey Games through DLC, however, could be the key to a more complete experience, at least from a content point of view.

It is true that there are works capable of going far beyond what has been done by The Silver Case and The 25th Ward, but it is also true that it is extremely difficult to find two works held together by such a valid internal coherence and, above all, a level of character writing so high.

Gamedec's ideas are interesting and so is its imagination. But what disappoints about the work of Anshar Studios is how the concepts were concretized and how ineffective the dialogues are - both in describing the world (the discovery of which will only be possible by reading dozens of codex documents), and in telling the characters and their emotions.

The unexpected complexity of Terminator Dark Fate Defiance proves to be a key element in restoring dignity to the saga from which it draws inspiration, traditionally unlucky in its video game adaptations. The tie-in proposed by Slitherine stands out as an engaging and challenging adventure, confronting us with a substantial challenge and presenting hordes of well-armored and equipped enemies. Despite some obvious flaws, the large-scale management phases and the ability to influence the progress of the game based on the choices made give the game a surprising strategic depth. It is a production which, despite being small in size, stands out for its almost role-playing structure, without forgetting, and indeed enhancing, its strategic roots. The complexity of the battles should not discourage newbies, considering the presence of the "Story Mode" difficulty, while fans of the saga and real-time strategy games should undoubtedly give this title a chance, certainly the best videogame transposition of the franchise in years to this part.
