The completed restoration is more or less in line with expectations: the inclusion of Radical Dreamers, a discreet reinterpretation of the audio / visual sector, a good localization in Italian and new game mechanics to attract younger users or newbies to the genre. Now that we have seen the re-release of Chrono Cross, another question legitimately arises: when is the return of Vagrant Story?

A fascinating experience, and one that can provide a different way to do usual things of an RPG.

Net of a series of technical problems that we sincerely hope can be mitigated by the next patches, Immortals of Aveum is a convincing first-person magic shooter, which can be played with transport from start to finish. Although belonging to the shooter genre, the Ascendant Studio title is profoundly different from its colleagues and the predominant action component, combined with the presence of many tools to counter the opponents, makes every single battle exciting and spectacular. The complex lore at the base of the experience accompanies a valid plot, not without some less effective junctures, but sometimes capable of surprising the player, and certainly able to push him to complete Jak's journey.

Even on a home console, this experience conceived for portable devices is fun and compelling.

Jeff Minter is developing the same game since the 1981. This time, on PsVita, he delivers a rock solid "tube shooter".

Despite some minor issues, the great World of Tanks structure is replicated very well in World of Warplanes, which proves to be fun and effective. World of Warplanes has just left the safety of his hangar, but the conditions for a long and successful flight are all already on board.

Unravel is a delicate game, cloaked in an overall positive morale. The gameplay is as light as the graphics and the narration, and that will surely disappoint those who will look for a deeper platforming experience, but the atmosphere is still unique, and sound.

PGA Tour 2K25 is the third title developed by HB Studios in five years, and the improvements are clear to see. The new swing mechanics offer a stimulating challenge for veterans and make the game accessible and fun for newcomers. The graphics have been improved, providing a much more realistic and exciting atmosphere on the greens. From a content standpoint, there is little to complain about, apart from the golfer roster which remains rather limited. The additions to the MyPlayer and MyCareer modes are welcome, but the interference of microtransactions proves annoying. It may not be the most beautiful golf simulation on the planet, but PGA Tour 2K25 is certainly the most complete available on the market.

An improvement, under any point of view, of the already valid predecessor...In the end, when repetitiveness knocks at the door, you will regret not having other levels at hand to use.

An interesting indie production, that can talk sweet words to the same public of titles like To The Moon. And don't forget the over the top musical score.

One of the best cooperative action game available on PSN and XBLA.

Marvel's Iron Man VR is exactly as we expected: immersive, frenetic and witty as the superhero to whom the game is dedicated. An intuitive, articulated and almost perfect control system is counterbalanced only by the technical limitations and the cumbersome cabling of PSVR.

An interesting mix of RPG, roguelike and tower defense, that will please especially newcomers to the dungeon crawler genre.

Castle Conqueror - Heroes 2 is a great strategy. Difficult and crowned with a deep gameplay, will delight all fans of the genre.

Saint Row 4 is recommended for fans of the saga, but also to those looking for a fast-paced and disengaged title.

With a stunning graphics, an amazing sound, an exciting storyline and a gameplay very successful, Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is a title highly recommended to all lovers of the genre.

King's Arthur Gold is not the Terraria clone that you would expect looking at the screens: it has it's own pace and fresh game modes.

InterWave Studios combines FPS and RTS in a technically dated but successful mix that can entertain for a long time, provided that the incoming huge FPS titles won't subtract its player-base.

An unmissable game for any owner of PlayStation VR.

Overall, however, we can only be satisfied with the outcome of the nostalgia operation implemented by Blizzard, which will once again trap fans in an endless cycle of fights to the death and unbridled looting.

The work of Visual Concepts is, also this year, solid and of absolute quality, even if necessarily less "busy" than usual.

Wo Long Fallen Dynasty looks like a star that shines at times, suspended between bright peaks of gameplay and technical hiccups. In general, for those who want to test themselves, Team Ninja's latest effort is unmissable, also thanks to its debut on Xbox Game Pass, which will appeal to all subscribers. We are sure that the epic clashes staged in this epic will be able to stimulate you for hours, rewarding your efforts with a solid playful sector, held back only by a few choices born of a conservative mentality. We hope that in the future the collective will decide to abandon some of the stylistic features that distinguish the titles of this genre, so as to be able to take it to the next level definitively, also thanks to the power of the current generation consoles.

Ultimately, Freud's Bones is a successful experiment, despite a downsizing of its ambitions compared to the initial project.

Mario Kart 7 is the same incredibily funny Mario Kart. The balance between driving ability and item usage is not perfect, but the formula still works.

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.

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.

Despite some uncertainty in the writing of the scenes and a few too many smudges in the technical sector, in our opinion Syberia The World Before is a title that is enjoyable both for veterans and for newbies about to approach the series for the first time, and therefore we can only advise you to give Microids' latest effort a chance.

The San Diego Studio simulation also proves solid in the new vintage: the gameplay remains sumptuous, even if some modes are starting to feel the weight of the years. From this point of view we expected something new. The ability to play it directly on the GamePass on Day One is an added value for all baseball fans on Xbox, while the arrival on Nintendo Switch will make many players happy. Despite the conservative approach held by SDS, MLB The Show 22 confirms itself, together with NBA 2K22, the best sports simulation available for the new generations of consoles.
