Too bad for a subdued conclusion, faint as the last spark of a firebrand.

A good expansion with an interesting perspective on the previous campaign. There's a lot of new stuff in Awakening, enough to keep the gamers tied to the screen until the new epic ending. Replayability and character interaction are yet again excellent and return a good new and fresh experience, despite a bad tuning of the main quest that appears to be much easier than the main title even at the hardest difficulty setting.

A great campaign for Hearthstone, one that the fans of the original game really shouldn't miss. It's not cheap, but really adds new hours of pure fun to the experience.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is a must-see for those who grew up on skateboarding (whether enjoyed or played first-hand). It relies on gameplay that hasn't lost its shine, with the exception of a few small uncertainties related to Spine Transfer, and it knows how to create addiction with dozens of selectable skaters and the iconic parks that the guys from Iron Galaxy have given us back in a modernized form. The team has reworked the career of the fourth chapter in a way that isn't entirely convincing, but on the other hand it has offered fans new levels, a fun brand new online mode and secret skaters who are up to the task, all on a more than pleasant audiovisual basis. In short, if you're a fan of Birdman, you love the THPS genre, or you simply want to get closer to the world of skateboarding while paying more attention to the spectacle than the simulation, these great restored games are for you.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is an exceptional spin-off double for the series by Capcom and Shu Takumi.

Among the constellations of the mobile galaxy, Sky: Children of the Light is one of the brightest stars.

I Expect You to Die provides a very strong sense of wonder, a great control system and exciting missions. Its only limitation is the length of the main plot that could be completed just in a couple of hours.

Eastward is not just the dazzling debut title of a very small development studio in Shanghai, just as it is not just a video game that closely resembles the best 2D Zelda in history. Don't call it Zelda-like: not because it's not a formally correct definition but because Pixpil's creature wants to be something more than the classic declaration of love to a title from the past. Eastward is one of the brightest examples of what are the true qualities of independent development: a real pearl that deserves to be discovered, perfectly capable of carving out its space in the niche of instant videogame cult. It is certainly one of the most surprising and impactful experiences of recent years, one of those titles capable of pointing the way to those who will come later.

NBA 2K26 is an improved installment in both graphics and gameplay, both increasingly realistic and engaging. The wealth of modes is undeniable, as is the effort made to make My Career more narrative-driven, the host city more vibrant, and the challenges more tactical and interesting. However, the fact that the experience is complex for newcomers is partly a limitation. This writer believes the series needs to work better on depth, with a more accessible and less punishing gameplay formula. However, if you're a hardcore basketball simulation player, don't worry: NBA 2K26 is a safe haven where you can dock and have fun, challenge other players online, and live out your sporting dream to the fullest. At least until next year.

Etrian Odyssey is getting better and better: for every dungeon crawler lover out there, this is a must.

The adventure offered by A Plague Tale Requiem is a homecoming, an incessant search for a home, a story made up by a collective in love with its characters. Net of the team's unquestionable desire to overcome the first chapter in every sense, adopting courageous and intriguing solutions, the edges are not lacking but such an impressive journey from a visual and narrative point of view certainly deserves to be experienced, especially by those who have already enjoyed the debut of the series.

Tales of Monkey Island: The Lair of the Leviathan is a great game, the best so far out of the five chapters divided in the saga. All small defects found in the predecessors have been filed at least partially if not eliminated. But the real point of reference is the excellent script, spiced by irreverent and entertaining dialogue and memorable characters. Good also is the longevity of each chapter standing on 4-5 hours. Recommended for everyone: old and new gamers.

Rebellion adds a very small number of updates to a good game. A few ships, small number of tech upgrades and some victory condition. Recommended for those who have never played Sins of a Solar Empire.

Florence is a love story, a story that merges videogames and comics, able to give shape to a delicate and poetic narration, but with an overwhelming emotional impact, which leaves you truly speechless: at the end of this short story, you will then find yourself with a lump in the throat that would only want to melt into tears.

Maybe not a masterpiece, but one of the most thrilling and rewarding experience of the last years. A classic adventure with a glimpse of the great 128 bit action games, and an overwhelming set of environmental puzzles.

Oot only an excellent shooter, characterized by a unique and inimitable gunplay, but it is also one of the last bastions of FPS dedicated to single player, still able to put the player at the center of the narrative.

It's a great DLC, one that fans of the original game really shouldn't miss.

Curse of the Moon 2 is an excellent result that we hope will bring the Bloodstained series and the memory of the Castlevania classics to touch new qualitative peaks.

Devolver Digital's blasphemous lamb manages to successfully mix different genres and inspirations, creating a unique cocktail that, we are sure, will delight many.

Those who prefer a good story even at the expense of inadequate game mechanics, will experience a different experience with the Bergson family, not revolutionary or particularly memorable, but nevertheless capable of making their mark.

Besides a few small smudges, what awaits you is a raw adventure full of b-movie jokes and flying bullets. "As long as there are bounty hunters, there will be a hunt."

In spite of everything, do not miss the opportunity to venture once again among castles, green pipes and mushroom-shaped power-ups: there is something to rejoice, with the lightheartedness and the smile of when you become a little child again.

Due to a very large roster and the solid gameplay mechanics, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 closes with style this long chapter of the series.

It's a great experience, one that you won't regret getting into.

It's an absolutely stunning experience. It won't be easy to see the end of it, but it's absolutely worth all the time and dedication it takes.

It offers a relaxed multiplayer, better served with friends, beers and a comfortable couch, and while doing that, it reminds you how good it is to play with friends.

Endless Legends defies Civilization with a deep strategic gameplay, and a luxuriant fantasy setting.

Waiting for the fourth installment of the series, Capcom is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Dead Rising with a remastered version of the three adventures of Frank West and Chuck Greene.
