The adventure of the Swedish guys has all the charm of independent games. At a cost of about 15 € we absolutely recommend the purchase.

The Gust Corporation team managed to surprise us again, completing the phenomenal evolution process to which its IP had undergone starting from the first Atelier Ryza. Despite having inherited most of the mechanics from the second episode, the last fundamental piece of the trilogy has the merit of having speeded up and streamlined every single aspect of the production, giving the player a decidedly more engaging rhythm. Both the narrative and the gameplay boast a depth never touched before by the Atelier series, which however continues to sin from a graphic point of view. Although the title is the result of cross-generational development, at least on PlayStation 5 we would have expected something more. Overall, however, Ryza's last summer is confirmed as a fun JRPG capable of giving rather strong emotions.

It's pure driving, with all its pro and cons. There's a clear lack of contents (but updating is constant), but when it's just you, the driving wheel and the never-ending battle with the track, you will feel the rally experience like in those sweet days of the Colin McRae saga.

In the end Prey ends up being much more than a mosaic: thanks to its narrative and to the mobility of a gameplay that constantly evolves over over twenty hours of the main adventure, the game leaves a trace that ends up being unique.

Compelling, cerebral and elegantly deep, Fire Emblem: Three Houses marries the tactical acumen of its turn-based battles with a management dimension that exalts even more the role of the strategic spirit of Intelligent Systems. At the center there are three abundant campaigns and an extraordinary cast of characters: an indispensable tactical experience for the "elite fighters", but on which hides the shadow of a visual frame between high and low. Nevertheless, the new Nintendo exclusive goes into the field proclaiming itself the next 2019 Switch champion.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is the realization of a dream that has pervaded the minds of fans for a long, too long, time.

PayDay 2 is a fresh, new first person shooter that makes you walk in the shoes of four criminals trying to steal as much money as possible in Washington DC. This setting opens up new possibilities for a quite deep and solid gameplay. If you liked the first episode, you’ll love the sequel.

Returnal is complex, it is punitive, it is mysterious. It is a powerful act of courage, a “leap into the void” that could inaugurate a bright future for Housemarque or put his work at risk. Recklessness and ambition are not enough to break through, but in this case they are accompanied by a great creative vision, solid production values and a meticulous and calculated design. Returnal does not reach the perfection of Hades, but is destined to leave his mark on the Roguelike landscape, letting himself be played, watched, discovered again. And again, and again ...

If you love the genre and if you appreciate the graphic adventures, then you cannot miss this little Devolver Digital jewel.

Split/Second: Velocity defines a new way for arcade racing. Despite some issues with the game AI and the sense of speed, it is a fresh new IP we're grateful for.

Ultros is an essential experience not only for lovers of the metroidvania genre, but for anyone looking for a work with spirit and character. He doesn't claim to reinvent anything and consciously chooses to do little, doing it well. As the credits rolled, we moved away from the screen aware of the fact that something inside us had left the game. Or rather, sown.

Addictive, punitive as never before and very fast, Dead Cells is a title that mixes two kinds of poles apart, but it does so by building foundations that are difficult to demolish.

Quotation forthcoming.

There are many improvements that you can feel when you're on field, and less when you check the gameplay features, licenses and online play. It's still a great soccer game, and a further step in the right direction for Konami.

With BALL X PIT, Kenny Sun has shown that, rather than staying stuck in the same old tracks, by experimenting and intelligently blending different genres, it's possible to create something new and surprising. A small, raw gem capable of shining on its own.

Total War: Pharaoh truly represents a grand return for the famous saga of real-time strategy games. The attention dedicated to a purer form of story is evident, in a distillation of mechanics that evoke the greatness of previous titles without neglecting the necessary improvements that a series with over 20 years of history requires. The abandonment of myths, legends and fantasy elements is an appreciable move that will make historical fans of the saga happy, allowing them to completely immerse themselves in historical settings with an authentic feeling. In Total War: Pharaoh, you can recognize numerous familiar elements now cemented in Total War lore, alongside new additions that enhance historical immersion and bring freshness to Creative Assembly's catalog. The surprising optimization of the game guarantees the stability necessary to make an experience free from hitches or slowdowns shine, capable of effectively immersing the player with respectable views.

Shadow Complex needed a lifting. The remastered edition improves some post-processing effects, add some new textures, and in the end remains the great metroidvania that Chair developed few years ago. The uninteresting story is the biggest letdown of the game, that stands out when it comes to gameplay and level design.

Drawing on the most successful elements of the first two episodes of the tetralogy, such as the well-established turn-based combat system and the slice of life component, Nihon Falcom has once again managed to surpass itself, packaging an extraordinary title from every point of view.

Cris Tales is a delightful adventure, which will not fail to satisfy players looking for a fairytale and well-structured experience. The JRPG born in Colombia is a small jewel capable of bringing charismatic characters and well-conceived twists to the stage, without however renouncing a stimulating gameplay and a leading artistic sector. With Cris Tales, Dreams Uncorporated and SYCK touch excellence, missing it only by a whisker, for an epic journey through time that we feel we can recommend without reservation. The authors of the epic of Crisbell and companions thus add a new Indie to the realm of small independent pearls, for an IP and a concept that we hope will find further iteration at the Colombian team studios.
