Although the inspiration from P.T. was even obvious, which certainly could raise doubts about the personality of the title, MADiSON qualifies as a proud exponent of his category.

As anticipated in the introduction, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is a great DLC, an ambitious expansion that greatly enriches the base experience. The product significantly improves and expands the combat system, the movement system and even introduces a new offline mode based on the use of companions controlled by artificial intelligence, so as to further enhance the gaming experience. On the bestiary front, the new entries of the DLC are fewer than those of Iceborne and concentrated in the final phase of the main campaign. The already announced post-launch support, which apparently will last until 2023, will further expand Sunbreak's offer, so as to make it even more mammoth than it is today.

In its next gen version, the Dutch game remedies the errors of the past iteration with a visually convincing but terrible performance graphics mode, while the more performing one does not improve the minimum graphic detail we were already accustomed to.

Graphically, the leap in quality compared to previous interactions is evident while the sound sector seems old and uninspired. The possibility of "living" one of the 13 professions available is certainly appreciable but after about ten hours the limits of the playful recipe begin to be felt. Basically The Guild 3 is a fair exponent of the genre of belonging but could have aspired to higher peaks.

Compared to the disastrous MX vs ATV: All Out, Rainbow Studios has taken not one but two steps forward. MX vs ATV Legends is surprisingly fun and has a good amount of content. At present, however, it needs a substantial finishing work. ATVs are capable of giving great satisfaction, while AI steals more than a laugh with its surreal performances. The Rainbow Studios game is plagued by bugs and various problems but has big room for improvement: if the development team manages to fix all the flaws in the coming months, MX vs ATV Legends could become a good title.

The beating heart of Yurukill is to be found in the visual novel component, intriguing even if at times verbose and repetitive, while the point and click inspiration from the escape room fails to affect with its bare backdrops and the boyish simplicity of the puzzles to be solved.

The guys from Arc System Works have hit the target again, creating an articulated, unbridled and fun but also accessible and innovative combat system.

Cuphead - The Delicious Last Course is the best possible set for Studio MDHR's creature. The new stages are incredibly curated and introduce completely new gameplay mechanics and situations, which blend perfectly with the offer of the base game. And what about Miss Chalice, with her new abilities that - in addition to expanding the playful possibilities of the experience - allow a wider audience to get closer to the Cuphead shootings. In short, in this DLC nothing has been left to chance and it shows, because The Delicious Last Course is always Cuphead but better, if possible.

Phobia: St. Dinfna Hotel is a good debut for Pulsatrix Studios: in four years they have managed to pack an aesthetically and playfully pleasing horror, with the right mix of puzzle-investigative and shooter elements. Generally you notice the commitment of the team, which perhaps could have dared slightly more: some puzzles are too trivial, others require excessive backtracking and can confuse the player a lot. The graphics sector is good, thanks to a good use of the Unreal Engine but among rather detailed environments and objects it is inevitable to notice others of poor quality, which slightly damage the beauty of Phobia, whose narrative fabric unfortunately knows already seen.

Outriders Worldslayer is not a groundbreaking expansion and lacks the ability to appeal to all those players who didn't enjoy the game last year. Flying over the negligible campaign both in terms of quality and longevity, however, the first paid DLC of the People Can Fly looter shooter introduces an endgame mode able to entertain all those users who have loved madly the game and they want to go back to Enoch at all costs to improve their character traits and create crazy builds.

Porpoising aside, Codemasters did a good job of reproducing the regulation change that revolutionized the world of F1. Fun to play, impressive to watch, F1 22 stands out for its above average AI and a driving model that perfectly summarizes the concept of simcade.

Judging Blade Runner Enhanced Edition is a tough job. If it is true that the comparative trailers with the graphics of the original version had shown a very faithful approach, more of reconstruction and exaltation of the Los Angeles atmospheres than of actual revision, one cannot fail to notice several defects that affect the final result. The interface and subtitles need to be totally revised, not to mention the unforgivable translation into Italian, one of the worst we've had the opportunity to see in the gaming sector; in addition, the restyling work, although voluntarily adhering to the aesthetics of the 1997 title, could (and perhaps should) have attempted to make certain situations and elements on the screen more legible. The work done by Nightdive Studios is therefore, all in all, marginal, and indeed the additions - the renewed interface and subtitles - are undoubtedly poorly implemented. Having made all these necessary premises, we believe that Blade Runner Enhanced Edition is an essential purchase for all science fiction fans and, in particular, for those who love the universes - literary and cinematographic - born from the works of Philip Kindred Dick: the story hatched by Westwood Studios and brought back to life by Nightdive Studios offers new insights into 2019's dystopian Los Angeles and its inhabitants.

Sonic Origins is a must-have collection for fans old and new of the lightning-fast SEGA icon. The collection is designed to pay homage to and celebrate the beloved blue hedgehog, as well as to readjust the visual presentation without sacrificing the exquisitely vintage taste of the classic. The work of revising the original format in 16: 9 is nothing short of commendable, while the content offer - which offers different and intriguing replayability solutions - seemed abundant and adequate to the list price. The only blemish on the operation in our opinion is the decision to package some additional content in the form of paid DLC. A very questionable distribution choice which, however, given the cost at which it is proposed, we feel we can partly justify.

Redout 2 is a profound revision of the concept of the first chapter, finally blessed by a budget that allows the crazy artistic direction to free themselves from the limits of the past to create an experience that is at times incomparable. New events, airships and locations, reinforce the identity of a title that was born as a tribute to the masters of the genre such as Wipeout and F-Zero but which today has taken its own path, a path oriented towards pure driving skills. You have to try and try again for a long time to be able to internalize the controls, the totally crazy speeds and the complexity of the layout of the tracks, but Redout 2 knows how to reward the most tenacious with a complete and satisfying experience like few others.

Holding on to the core features of the license it inspired, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes proved to be a solid and fun title, as well as a hybrid that could potentially satisfy both Intelligent Systems strategy lovers and fans of musou action. If his best weapons are to be found in the grafts made to the combat system and in the complex narrative plot, which according to the choices made along the way will stage three unpublished and well-diversified stories on your screens, his greatest weakness is represented by the technical sector. . Whether or not you are familiar with the magical lands of the Fódlan, our advice is to let yourself be bewitched by what we do not struggle to call one of Omega Force's best recent works.

The possibilities offered by the title will certainly delight the enthusiastic strategists, who will be able to count on a longevity that exceeds one hundred hours with extreme ease, while it takes "only" 40 to complete a main quest at times devoid of bite. The repetitive storyline is one of the rare weaknesses of the entire Disgaea project, while on the playful side there is very little to blame the Japanese developers.

VOID Riders is exactly what we would have expected from a DLC with aliens for OlliOlli World.

Neon White is an absolutely unmissable video game, capable of putting in parallel a very precise, frenetic and totally skill-based gameplay and a narrative that embraces stereotypes to use them as a picklock with which to dig into the human soul.

Any fan of the film, as long as he is obviously also a lover of RTS, will see his expectations fulfilled.

Shredder's Revenge could be many things: it could be a beat 'em up capable of modernizing the genre, a tribute to the past of the series or a caciarone party game. Since he tried to be a bit of everything, he was unable to convince us in every respect, although he was still very pleasant to play. The cooperative mode, for its part, is an absolute spectacle and more generally we are talking about an experience able to entertain (and a lot ...) without, however, with that degree of brilliance that we would have desired.

The landing of Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise on PC is designed to offer fans of the first chapter the opportunity to take on the role of Francis York Morgan for the second time, thus experiencing his singular and story without necessarily buying a Nintendo Switch. Swery still strikes with his eccentricity but his team failed to resolve numerous problems two years after the original launch. The result is a game that remains undermined by numerous flaws, a lifeless setting and characters characterized by poor models and animations. Only those who have appreciated the events of Greenvale will perhaps be able to accept these compromises to discover a less engaging story than that of the previous chapter but necessary in order to close the circle.

Industria is a shooter that focuses on its narrative component and offers the best in situations of pure survival, claustrophobic and perpetually outnumbered. With the arrival of more powerful weapons, the level of challenge undergoes a sharp decline and, although it offers several interesting ideas, the narrative plot fails to provide the answers to many of the questions that arose during the adventure.

Roller Champions does not have the makings of champions and, net of a gameplay that works and entertains, fails to live up to expectations due to serious deficiencies in terms of content and on the technical / artistic side, due to which the game fails to live up to other successful free to play games. So the basics are there, but it is necessary for the French house to roll up their sleeves to support its creation as soon as possible with a generous wave of content and perhaps greater attention paid to the items on sale in the store, in order to attract attention. of users, currently facing other shores.

Thanks to its multiple narrative branches and the customization of QTEs and various interactive moments, The Quarry is one of the best graphic adventures of recent years, and will win you over also thanks to its pleasant vintage setting.

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

Unfortunately, the definitive edition of Outward did not manage to redeem the original work in its entirety, because it basically kept its same strengths and weaknesses. At the dawn of the new generation, unfortunately, the latter weigh a little more, net of the fact that the great innovations in terms of content variety have proved to be appreciable.

Compared to the "basic" PAC-MAN Museum, in Plus there is little more than a few playable new entries and a vaguely more sumptuous dress. Nothing to justify a possible repurchase, and it is worth asking whether even users less accustomed to the worlds of Pac-Man, in the absence of that "museum" value that the title promises, can find satisfaction in the face of a handful of episodes that, probably , they will not be able to entertain for more than a few hit and run sessions.

Card Shark is certainly one of the most unique and interesting titles of the year, the son of a completely crazy concept that works divinely from the first to the last second of gameplay.
