The excessive lack of content, with the absence of the multiplayer guilty on the front line, prevents the title from entering the hole at the first shot, which, in any case, does not detract from Super Inefficient Golf the value of very good short-term entertainment, moreover, sold at a price that is more than affordable.

While not reinventing absolutely anything, Kao the Kangaroo has proved to be a valid and delightful platformer.

There's a scene, during a flashback in the game, in which Carole invites Lana to literally close one eye and observe her surroundings from a different perspective. "When things don't seem the way we want them to," she tells her, "try to see them from another angle." I decided to do the same with Bye Sweet Carole when I encountered gameplay and stylistic roughness, perhaps the result of a strong desire to do things and an unbalanced sense of proportion. Carole's advice was helpful. Because Little Sewing Machine's work is a small visual and aural delight, a courageous display of skill that manages to transcend its uncertainties. The rating below represents the other angle I chose to see, where the flaws outweigh the merits. Because I believe it's worth letting yourself be transported into this world of "pitch, ash, and coal."

A welcome reproposal of an unsuspected, well-crafted licensed platformer.

A standard action/platform. An old fashioned formula, with the twist of Multiplayer (partially ruined by lag).

Storytelling while, this is very close to a fiasco. It doesn't build on the previous chapter, and it doesn't add anything new to the narration. On the other hand, the gameplay side is just great: more focus on the puzzles is exactly what the game needed.

Wii Karaoke U isn't perfect. Some issues prevent the game from being better; however, casual gaming lovers will find the perfect companion to fun-filled nights with friends in the Joysound production.

The guys of DESTINYbit, however, have managed to do a good job in terms of characterization of the six present civilizations, each endowed with unique peculiarities that deeply modify the style of play, making the challenge against other human opponents very pleasant.

WWE All Stars is a missed chance. The scarce single player experience and the lack of online play are far from excusable, as they are the mixed graphics. Still funny, but not engaging.

The latest Tokyo RPG Factory game manages to hit the hearts of those who grew up with the Super Nintendo and the first PlayStation.

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

Even without hitting all the objectives set at the outset, Playmestudio's debut work remains, if nothing else, a laudable attempt to bring to the stage themes and theories of a certain depth, which we hope will not go completely unnoticed.

Blackguards is a great success for Daedalic Entertainment, a great achievement not only for the remarkable playability and exceptional turn-based setting, but also and above all as the first role-playing game of the hanseatic software house.

Now it is up to GungHo to prove that his game as a service has not only an edge but also a future within the software landscape of the Nintendo hybrid console.

Bear With Me - Episode One is the brief prelude to a new series of noir episodic adventure. It seems definitely to have a few tricks up its sleeve, at least in narrative terms.

NBA 2K24 is one of those titles that is difficult to judge and above all to assign a numerical value that can balance its great gaming achievements and disappointing greed. On the one hand there is in fact one of the most beautiful basketball simulations ever made, on the other an online sector that in no way hides the excessive importance of microtransactions. The Mamba Moments and the Eras (with LeBron) are two splendid additions to a content offering with few equals in the sports sector, while ProPLAY technology on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series . In short, NBA 2K24 is one of the best sports games of this generation, and it is a shame that the intrusiveness of microtransactions inevitably ends up weakening the excellent work done on the gameplay.

Quotation forthcoming.

Fatal Frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse proves to be too conservative, characterized by slow and anachronistic game rhythms. It is true, in any case, that structural changes could not be expected from a purely aesthetic remastering. For sure, historical fans will greatly appreciate the improved graphics, more realistic lighting, controls adapted to a traditional pad and the alternative costume compartment. Instead, those who have never tried a Fatal Frame will hardly digest a visibly dated play system.

Grand Bazaar is a good episode of a saga always equal to itself. The introduction of the bazaar is an idea that worked well and the constant support offered will help beginners to learn the basic gameplay of Harvest Moon.

We waited a lot to play Balde & Soul, but NCSOFT's MMO arrives on the west market a little too late. The action oriented combat system is interesting and well designed, but PvP is still unbalanced and the endgame is tasteless and boring. The game, in conclusion, has very good intuitions but a very bad structure.

Football Manager 26 marks the beginning of a new era. Unity brings with it a breath of fresh air, but that step forward has led to two steps back: the UI is dispersive, almost unbelievable in its capriciousness. In a management game where control is everything and analysis is also crucial, appearing with such cluttered screens is problematic. We're already in 2027, with all our tactics and strategies to create a winning streak that would make Xabi Alonso and Pep Guardiola shudder, but it's clear that there are many improvements we expect for next year. Football Manager 26 is still a solid product, but after a year off, we were hoping for a fresher, more refined game.

In spite of a very classical structure and a certain underlying redundancy, in short, we perceive that Marvel Powers United VR has been realized with passion and maximum respect for the original works.

Although the result of this production process is a solid and fun experience, it is clear that not all the pieces of Hyper Scape's playful mosaic have yet found their ideal place.

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 is a pity, however, that the Deluxe version brings with it a handful of technical problems.

Unfortunately, Serial Cleaners is not as striking as its predecessor: the adventures of Mr. Bob and his company of Cleaners attract the player more with a deep story and narrative branches to discover, all with a pleasant jazz accompaniment and a peculiar aesthetic rendering but from the fluctuating effectiveness. The simple and arcade gameplay is ideal for those who want to approach stealth and better frame the genre, and it is satisfying overall. Artificial intelligence is the Achilles' heel of the entire experience and its shortcomings have not allowed the potential of the playful offer to be fully expressed. If we add to this the lack of replayability, the criticalities of the product become even more evident.

Prinny 2: Dawn Of Operation Panties, Dood! depends very much on your patience and on the relationship that you have with frustration. Absolutely not perfect, but recommended for reckless gamers.

Zoo Tycoon stands halfway between a kids game and a deeper strategic experience.
