WWE 2K23 takes everything that was good in WWE 2K22 and improves it in every respect, eliminating some rough edges in the gameplay and adding substance to some modes that were beginning to feel the weight of the years.

Ninja Gaiden 4 emerges as a meeting point between Team Ninja's development philosophy, which led to the series' dazzling rebirth as a hardcore action game, and that of PlatinumGames, which, over the years, has become a true pillar of the genre. The combat system is still incredibly fun and at times exhilarating, and the new features introduced to the game world allow for a more satisfying progression than in the past. Given these premises, however, it's truly a shame that the same effort hasn't been put into the narrative, which unfortunately fails to capitalize on the excellent premise of the plot and ends up being a formulaic and lackluster tale. After over a decade of absence from the scene and given the names involved in the project, it was reasonable to expect a production effort of a different caliber.

Burnout Paradise Remastered is the result of a slightly lazy modernization work, held up only by the solidity of the foundation on which it was built; a remastering that never touches excellence, but still manages to get by more than doing so excellently.

The close-up view, the more in-depth combat system and the renewed aiming system bring the title closer to the trappings of an action adventure with a vague role-playing component.

Quotation forthcoming.

Marathon is not a game for everyone. The hardcore nature of Bungie’s latest effort creates an experience with a high barrier to entry—one that will drive away anyone unwilling to commit to mastering its intricate mechanics, while conversely trapping everyone else in an endless loop of runs. This specific quirk ensures the game will likely never become a mainstream hit or reach record-breaking levels of popularity; yet, there is no doubt that Bungie’s take on the extraction shooter genre is one of the most compelling titles currently available on the market. Anyone with a visceral love for this subgenre should at least give it a chance—or, to put it more aptly, try going for a run.

Double Fine at its best. Too bad you can complete this first branch of the story in just 4 hours.

Wildstar has everything that a new MMO needs. Except for the outdated monthly fee.

Star Drift Evolution comes out of the early access pits with a perfect set-up, which allows it to compete for the top positions of the genre.

Among Us VR is a well-crafted game that is fun in company and, at times, capable of generating tension. The underlying experience remains almost the same as the title for smartphones, tablets, consoles and PCs, but it has mini-games designed specifically for virtual reality, trivial but effective. Experiencing the investigations in space with a helmet constitutes an encounter with the countless memes seen from 2020 to today, and perhaps this is the factor that will initially drive the VR version of the game, which in all probability will continue to ensnare only the community of aficionados.

Despite boasting an excellent cast of characters (with the exception of Asbel himself) and a combat system second only to the more recent Tales of Arise, during the PS3 era Tales of Graces f was not particularly well received by Western audiences, for reasons that we still struggle to fully understand. Although the remaster added relatively little to the original offering, such as the Japanese dubbing and some quality of life improvements, we are of the opinion that the multiplatform re-release of Tales of Graces f was more than necessary. Sixteen years after its debut on Nintendo Wii (a version never marketed on our side of the globe) and thirteen since the launch of the European edition for PlayStation 3, this time the story, the protagonists, the extraordinary combat system and last but not least the soundtrack of Tales of Graces could realistically win over fans of the genre and of Bandai Namco's franchise, which have also increased thanks to the most recent episodes. If you missed it back then, now is the perfect time to give it (and yourself) a second chance.

The driving characteristics of the game, as could be expected, obviously remain the destructibility and the damage system, but within Wreckfest there is, fortunately, even something more: a complete game and more than worthy to be counted with merit.

A title that we sincerely recommend to all those who are looking for a good story, told with the right times and without shortcuts.

More vast than dense, Burning Shores is the Horizon Forbidden West DLC that it was reasonable to expect. Using Los Angeles as a stage, Guerrilla follows the rules of Hollywood spectacularization and pushes on the pedal of visual exaltation. There is a moment (totally optional) in which you will get lost in a stormy cloud, a prelude to another battle, and where you will breathe an air of profound epicness. And it is thanks to these junctures of considerable scenic and playful commitment that the team's intentions are understood: to push the heights of the Decima Engine even higher and pack an expansion that was satisfying at the right point, before the third act of the epic of Aloy. The one in which the fate of the world will be decided, perhaps once and for all.

Blur is classic combat racing, with a terrific multiplayer. Support for 20 users, a perk system and an impressive amount of cars. A great arcade experience, despite some graphical issues.

Resistance Retribution is a good starting point for the PSP revival. An action game with a frenetic and full immersive gameplay, good technique and a totally new multiplayer structure. A must buy for every PSP owners.

Victoria 3 finally arrives after years of incessant requests from the Paradox community and grand strategies, and it does it in style. The team responsible for the new chapter has managed to implement what fans were hoping for: expand, innovate and simplify a system of social and economic simulation without sacrificing the complexity that had so amazed already in the second title of the series. Victoria 3 is not a game for everyone but all those who want to play it hard will see this "investment" highly rewarded.

A well crafted remastered game that's perfect for fans and newcomers alike.

In case you missed the chance to discover Alefgard on PS4, this re-release for Nintendo Switch could be for you.

Mega Man 10 isn’t quite on the level of the previous installment: it lacks its “back to the roots” appeal, but only because it comes afterward. Level design could have been just a tad better and the musical score isn’t great: however, it succeeds in delivering a fun and rewarding experience, keeping high the challenge and entertaining the player. Another Mega Man, another little gem.

Repeating the same title that came out fifteen years ago, in an almost slavish way, has done nothing but silence the small but noisy part of the community that, for years, has been clamoring for the origins of Azeroth, annoyed by the excessive simplification of the title.

Starbound is one of the very few games that gets both "open world" and "sandbox" done right. The amount of activities available is astounding and the best part is you can avoid them all, if you wish to do just that.

The thrill of the fight condensed in a bunch of pixels. Antagonistic, competitive, biting.

The impressive quality of the title, revived by Bethesda after five years, are always the same, and if you've never tried it, we strongly advise you to do it as soon as possible. For those, however, that had the opportunity to dive into the wonderful world of Skyrim, this remastered edition adds little more to the previous editions.

If the great TMNT: Shredder's Revenge still hasn't quenched your hunger for ninja turtles, with The Cowabunga Collection prepare yourself for indigestion: Digital Eclipse has done a really good job in re-adapting 13 products that have made the history of the Konami series. Some titles have aged well, others a little less (especially the GameBoy ones). In short, for all those teenagers who grew up at the turn of the eighties and nineties with the myth of Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello, it is a recommended purchase but some might turn up their noses at the launch price of this collection, proposed at 40 euros.

Torment: Tides of Numenera is a role playing game like you have not seen for years.

A notable puzzle platformer, one that you could easily overlook, but that really deserves praise. It's all about good level design, and although it can get frustrating at times, it can also offer some quality entertainment.

For those who are not familiar with football, it won't be easy to learn the basics, but there's a ton of fun to be had for everyone else.
