The most savvy players will surely appreciate a playful offer like the one offered by The Top 100, never really difficult and graphically satisfying. Older players, on the other hand, would do better to look for something else to fill their evenings with friends.

Rain cannot reinvent itself, but instead delivers a usual gameplay from start to finish, in a driven and linear adventure. The sense of wonder that comes in the early stages tends to stall, washed away by a heavy rain.

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered has the undoubted merit of preserving and re-proposing in an updated key a saga that still today has all the cards on the table to fascinate the public, thanks to charismatic characters and an evocative imagery. The process of updating the experience implemented by Aspyr is fluctuating, and fails to stem the effects of the passage of time, especially evident for the first Soul Reaver. With the hope of one day being able to witness the announcement of a true remake of Raziel's epic, The Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered manages at least to attenuate the nostalgia of the fans of the first hour, with a rich package of extra content and the possibility of reliving, at a modest expense, two games that have made history.

A highly emotional inner journey, not free from unexpected twists and turns, capable of strongly involving the player.

Everybody's Golf VR has managed to exploit the potential of virtual reality to establish itself as the most immersive and engaging golf game around, becoming at the same time one of the best 1: 1 sports simulators available on PlayStation VR, all without neglecting the accessibility that has always characterized the Clap Hanz series

If you grew up with the dream of wearing a wingsuit in the myth of the late Patrick de Gayardon, your wishes have finally been heard: Skydive: Proximity Flight is absolutely the game to buy.

A good combat system, solid even if not original, is mixed with a boring plot.

If you enjoyed the 2014 version of the popular card game, then you have no reason not to play the expansion pack released in late September.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is therefore a fun but limited project. The bright side of the coin is composed of a first-rate technical realization and the successful light-hearted atmospheres, while the darker side includes an extremely repetitive gameplay and a rather limited amount of content. It is a game that gives its best if experienced in the company of friends, but it does not represent a great leap forward, at least from a gaming point of view, for LEGO branded productions.

The Guided Fate Paradox is lively and fresh, going to recover the formula of a PSP pearl never exploited.

Being extremely close to the original concept, which at least in Japan was designed for the unfortunate PlayStation Vita, the hybrid nature of Nintendo Switch has returned to the product a portability that keeps boredom away and is well suited to its Pet Simulator mechanics. Among other things, since the "normal" difficulty proposed by the original version was unbalanced, in this round the developer B.B. Studio has introduced a new level of challenge that winks at anyone who is not particularly accustomed to the repetitive mechanics of the World series. If we add to this the possibility of running, overall Digimon World: Next Order appears more enjoyable than ever. Too bad only for Bandai Namco's decision, in our opinion unjustifiable, to offer the title for 60 euros: a truly exaggerated admission ticket for a product that has already been circulating since 2016 and which from a graphic point of view has not received the slightest tweak .

If you love arcade shooters and if you do not mind the idea of ​​repeating the same twenty levels for dozens of times, run to buy Sky Force Reloaded.

Some exaggerations and shortcomings in the script phase, combined with the poor quality of some processes present and a not particularly exciting general writing, must not obscure the quality of its systemic structure, particularly effective in describing a play of powers in which the law is an instrument stronger, and no guarantee of the weak.

Saturnalia is an adventure that shows off its Italian roots by creating an intriguing story, although not too original, capable of exploiting Sardinian folklore and a credible setting within a highly inspired sensory frame. It works more on a conceptual and visual level than on a strictly playful one, but it is an imbalance that does not excessively affect the pleasure of the experience.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre not only does justice to the film it is inspired by, but is also a good exponent of the genre it belongs to. Unfortunately, however, the experience is characterized by a repetitiveness that becomes apparent rather quickly due not only to the serious lack of content available at launch, but also to a fairly rigid gameplay setting, which makes all the games similar to each other. While waiting to find out if and how the offer will be expanded with the reveal of the roadmap by the developers, we can say that we are faced with a product that still deserves to be tried by fans of games of this type, especially by those who can dive into the game via Xbox Game Pass.

Tecmo-Koei pampers her fans with a solid chapter in the dynamics and content, which, however, will remain cryptic and completely inexplicable to those who just can not digest the Musou genre.

Nights Into Dreams is out of its time. Still fun and well developed, can no longer surprise as many years ago.

If you love the fanservice and the typical demented humor that distinguishes Japanese productions, Neptunia ReVerse will be the perfect starting point to discover (or rediscover) a franchise that has now become a cult among fans of Japanese role-playing games.

A general repetitiveness of the action and an invasive backtracking often make it difficult to continue in the adventure, also penalized by a questionable monetary resource management system that risks compromising the progression in the adventure if not carefully calculated.

Crimesight is that typical title destined to conquer (and entertain) that niche of fans capable of making a game survive for a long time. However, without content-packed post-launch support, the Konami-branded creature will definitely show the flank. We recommend playing it with a group of friends, an experience that will multiply the fun. All the others, on the other hand, will have tools for non-verbal communication ... which are not always used in the right way by users.

The proverbial tip of the iceberg. With its finely crafted game design, it creates great expectations for what The Phantom Pain might be in the future, yet at way too high a price.

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.

Hearts of Iron: Their finest hour is a good DLC that adds something to a very complete game. The only flaw is the high price.

Dordogne is a half-successful experiment. The excellent artistic direction is accompanied by a simple but functional gameplay, which also finds some inspired solutions in the completion of Mimi's diary. Unfortunately, in our opinion, the narrative sector moves on the same tracks only for the first half of the story. After effectively outlining the relationship between the protagonist and her missing grandmother, Dordogne in fact shifts the attention to other issues, which she however fails to address with the same attention.

One Night in Karazhan is probably the less interesting Hearthstone adventure. The cards don't bring any relevant change in the metagame and there is absolutely no challenge even on heroic difficulty.

FX Interactive gives us a strategic videogame especially suited to the super fan of the genre.

Six years after the original release, Mount & Blade Warband arrives on consoles, with its load of strengths and weaknesses. First among the latter is the graphics. The transition from the "Mouse + Keyboard" combination to the joypad, also, complicated the troop management and the precision of the controls.

Sonic Adventure 2 has aged well. Nevertheless its purchase should be considered carefully, because of defects that already penalized the original version.

Although with some facilities, the level of challenge offered by Oddworld: Munch's Oddysse remains satisfactory, capable of creating some headaches for users particularly prone to collecting.

The low price is an incentive to give Takeshi and Hiroshi a chance, a work that in its brevity can thrill and involve, as long as you are predisposed to markedly narrative playful experiences.

If only Ash of Gods had not been crushed by excessive ambitions, perhaps we would be grappling with a worthy heir to The Banner Saga.

The interaction is so limited that The Bunker doesn't look like a game. It's more an interactive movie, with a great atmosphere and an interesting story.

Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors makes its way into the crowded scene of dungeon crawlers, thanks to an unusual combat system, that drives away the monotony of their fellows, and requires a good dose of strategy.

F1 2016 is better than its predecessor, thanks to a range of innovations expected by all fans: the return of Career, a better complexity of the race weekend, the inclusion of the pit stops and a better AI.

Despite the involvement of outstanding artists, the star of Trinity Trigger does not shine as much as one would expect. As engaging as it is, the plot faithfully follows the topoi of the playful genre to which it belongs without ever proposing even vaguely original developments, while from a graphic point of view it seems to have in your hands a production intended for the now defunct Nintendo 3DS. Net of an almost non-existent challenge rate, the frenetic real-time combat system is the most successful aspect of the action RPG, which if played in local multiplayer together with two friends shows much of its great unexpressed potential. Maybe it won't end up in the annals of the JRPG, but overall Trinity Trigger remains a more than decent title. Our advice is to recover it on Nintendo Switch during the discount period.

A classic hack 'n' slash, with an RPG twist. Good for Marvel fans.

Every qualitative fluctuation masks itself almost to disappear when all the elements get along: when it is cohesive and adherent, Spellforce III is in excellent shape.

Not revolutionary.

We are faced with a well-written product, with elaborate puzzles, acrobatic and brilliant at the same time, which deserves to be rediscovered, in spite of certain woodiness which is today much more evident than at the time of its release.

Recore is a game constantly looking for a balance between its many souls. Developers had obviously aimed high but were forced to downsize along the way. The result is a title still enjoyable, an obvious homage to an old way of creating action-adventure games, with all the pros and cons of the case. Here and there one can see touches of modernity, but the adventure is a basic old school structure which draws liberally from the tradition, not always with satisfactory results.

Here They Lie is a disturbing psychological thriller, the digitization of a nightmare. The gaming experience is, for this reason, interesting and meaningful. Much of the credit goes to the virtual reality headset, which transforms this disturbing Walking Simulator in a hellish journey.

Robot Rescue 3D is a good puzzle game, characterized by a high level of difficulty. Useless for those who have already played the two episodes on the DS, it will entertain fans of the genre.

NBA Live 10 is a good arcade basketball game. In the latest EA Sports production we can notice a big step further from last year's NBA Live but the way to the top, with a limited AI and gameplay, is too far away yet.

Zanki Zero is a meltin 'pot of genres, influences, ideas and theories, where each element has its own importance in the gameplay context.

A snowboarding title for enthusiasts: this is Shredders.

It is certainly not a novelty that a tender palletta famous for gulping down enemies or Bon Bon, can be greedy, but this time Kirby exceeds expectations: Kirby's Dream Buffet presents itself as a party game that proudly rests on a gastronomic dimension. Through a four-course menu, you will roll, bounce and immerse yourself in a contest of sponge cake and burgers, trying to conquer as many strawberries as possible. It would be more exciting if there was the possibility to customize the Kirbys of the secondary players or if other mini-games were also included in the path, to make the tasting even more varied. "Vote die you"? No. But as an alternative to other games it is inspired by, it leaves a sweet, soft feeling, less of contention and more of feasting. We advise against playing it on an empty stomach.

Two strong points in its favor. First of all the touch screen, which allows you to bypass the physical commands for faster, more convenient and immediate feedback. Secondly, portability: finally it is possible to put our miniature world in hand wherever we are.

The first hurdle is certainly the shooting, and more generally the entire combat system, which is too old, woody and clumsy.

Snow Place Like Home presents an unusual structure for the series. The results, however, are convincing, and somehow bold. It would be nice to have, in the modern gaming landscape, more space for talented guys like The Odd Gentlemen, and less enthusiasm for linear and unoriginal adventures.

It's definitely a step back from New Leaf: focusing entirely on furniture, this game leaves back a lot of the content that made the Animal Crossing saga shine. On the other hand, the editor is really rich, and some players could enjoy it.

This time around servers seem stable, and the free to play formula is a little more balanced. Using your wallet will still grant you bonuses, but at least the gameplay is true to the core saga.

Our test of Harvestella took place on Nintendo Switch, but the JRPG is also available on PC. With a playful soul in constant balance between Action RPG and life-simulator, the JRPG alternates real-time battles, cultivation of the fields and socializing activities with your travel companions. A pleasant narrative, even if not excessively original, relaxed rhythms and an interesting artistic sector are combined with not too in-depth gameplay dynamics. For players looking for a relaxing adventure, which alternates between clashes and agricultural simulation without putting too many variables on fire, Harvestella still represents a valid and long-lived option.

Compared to Nitendogs, here you'll find a specific purpose for your pets, in finding an ancient treasure. Interactions with the puppies are not varied as they are in Nintendo's rival, but the game still has a fun part to it.

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

There's a lot of content that won't disappoint the fanbase, but the combat system feels too slow and still old gen when you look at the animations, and the historic rivalries miss some important steps.

An interesting puzzle game, but the roguelike elements does not perfectly match with the gameplay mechanics and the overall structure.

A fun and accessible puzzle game. The base package is offered for free, so give it a try.

Perhaps slightly out of time.

Overall, Undisputed is a worthy product, which manages to bring “great boxing” back to the market in video games, a good fifteen years after the release of the last Fight Night. The core of the proposal is represented by an excellent assortment of mechanics, which grants ample room for maneuver both to those looking for a more technical experience, and to novices in the art of digital boxing. The balance between these two aspects of the offer, however, is not yet calibrated to perfection, and it is easy to notice a group of rough edges that, put together, hold the game back from expressing its full potential.

The title is, in fact, a more than discrete but a little too simple survival that, unfortunately, stumbles on a decidedly elementary control system and on a basic repetitiveness in the crafting and exploratory mechanics that, in the long run, can bore.

As things stand, Overwatch 2 is not so much a sequel as it is an update to the first chapter. Net of the changes made, we cannot consider what we have seen so far as something fully satisfactory or capable of justifying the number "to the right" of the title. The changes introduced are appreciable and the business model adopted could give new life to the franchise, but unfortunately, between the absence of the campaign and the progression of the characters, the real potential of the experience remained unexpressed.

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.

We Were Here fits into the PlayStation ecosystem with extreme ease: one more reason to give it a chance, in case you haven't already done so on other platforms.

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

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.

Four years after the original release, Resident Evil 6 is pretty much the same game. The HD version shows the usual technical improvements of many other remasters (1080p and 60 frame per second), but nothing more. Disappointing for the fanbase, Resident Evil 6 is a huge title but is somehow inconsistent, able to pursue neither the fast paced action of the fourth chapter, nor the survival horror spirit of the origins.

Very solid from the point of view of the artistic direction, it enriches the playful experience with some rather numerous and interesting ideas, such as the system of "beliefs".

For those who have not played Madden NFL for a few years, the new episode may be the right opportunity to start over. The Franchise mode has been rearranged and the direction taken seems to be the right one, while the gameplay, waiting for the adjustments in the secondary, is appreciated for a renewed physics in the inertia of the players' movements and for an AI that in more than one opportunity surprised us positively. The magic of the new generation has been little seen for now: Madden NFL 22 is still a good game to watch even if it was legitimate to expect something more. In general, our advice is to wait for EA Tiburon to fix bugs and glitches: time is up and the season has just started.

Emergency 4 is an exciting and funny game despite some technical problems. Gameplay is its strong point: it's really involving to see that your decisions make a difference between the life or death of dozens of people. Definitely a good game to buy.

Old graphics and inadequate plot made Puritas Cordis not so good for adventure players. However, it's been a long time since we played a game with such a good puzzle-solving section. If you love puzzle and logic games this title may be a good choice for you.

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.

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

Shady Part of Me remains a good level puzzle-platformer and an experience that, in its own small way, has something to say.

It is better to play "small sips", perhaps with someone who is discovering the world of video games.

Loopmancer is pure action at the service of a player who wants to exalt himself in violence. It is a game that revels in its viscerality and its bizarre and does not care about its imperfections: but whoever has the pad in their hand realizes it! And it's a bit of a shame, because if certain gameplay elements had been weighed with the slingbar and not cut with the cleaver, it would have been practically indispensable. At present it is only for those looking for an experience with few frills and a voluntarily kitschy (in?) Identity. And that's not necessarily enough, on the contrary.

The Alchemist of Arland is back in a sort of Director's Cut, that fans will probably enjoy. For everyone else, it's not easy to point at this chapter as an entry ticket to the saga, mainly because of complicated menus and the slow pace.

By straightening out some distortions of the original game and rationalizing the offer on the content front, the development team produced a version of Banana Blitz in every way better than the previous one, so much so that giving it a chance today would certainly not be wrong.

It is undeniable that Diablo Immortal's monetization system has problems and makes the more advanced stages of the adventure unpleasant, but the fact remains that the Blizzard title has brought one of the best experiences in the action RPG field to the mobile market, and it really is difficult to find on the App Store and Google Play Store another free to play with such high production values. Diablo Immortal is an excellent pastime for those who want to complete the long cooperative campaign and, above all, could represent the perfect entry point for those who have never approached the series: even without putting their wallet in, in fact, it remains a pleasant adventure to live while waiting for the fourth chapter to make its debut on the shelves.

From an inexperienced team as Kylotonn (at least when it comes to driving simulations) it's a good debut. Shame that the final polishing was clearly rushed: not many driving wheels supported, framerate issues, bugs. On the other hand, the driving, even if not as a pure simulation, is fun and compelling.

A tribute to the Katahashi series, with minor twists in the main formula.

Net of some annoying bugs, Way of the Hunter is a simulation that certainly knows how to satisfy hunting enthusiasts, giving them a journey into the wilderness that allows them to take multiple approaches to take down elusive prey and almost always convincing behaviors. At the same time, we are talking about a great exercise of patience, to be used both when the long hunts do not lead to the desired results, and during the campaign mode which, given its playful structure, did not turn out to be as interesting as we hoped.

It's something different from the usual Musou, and that's good. Yet, it lacks depth in gameplay, and it's something only true fans of the saga will be able to enjoy.

Darksiders 3 is a stable title but on that is far from sublime, full of good intentions but partly ravaged by a vision that is not completely in focus.

The Novelist explores unusual themes and has some brilliant ideas. It is, still, an inflexible and strict game.

Pile Up! Box by Box is not the 3D platformer to recommend to die-hard fans of the genre who are looking for the impossible challenge, but it is an unpretentious experience that manages to give its best if played in the company of other people, especially when it comes to smaller players. The entire product is clearly meant to be played in co-op and the NPCs that populate the game world themselves boast a design designed to enchant children with their bright colors and funny shapes. In short, if you were looking for a game with which to bring young people closer to video games, we can only advise you to give the Seed by Seed title a chance, also because it is sold at a very competitive price on all platforms.

Treasure Seekers 3 – Follow the Ghosts could be a really nice experience, but it has some bugs which force you to skip most of the puzzles. If G5 will fix them, feel free to add some points to the score, because the game is great. If you love hidden object games, it's kinda a must buy.

Prinny: Can I really be the Hero is a nice surprise in the dull PSP Line Up. Nippon Ichi game rises from the crowd thanks to a nice graphical design and an “old style” gameplay. Even if it doesn’t stands for it’s originality, the good variety and the nice art design make Prinny a valid game. Probably, the intense difficulty will discourage casual gamers.
