While not reinventing absolutely anything, Kao the Kangaroo has proved to be a valid and delightful platformer.

The debut of Monster Hunter on 3DS is absolutely successful. Once again you will be dealing with a chapter that does not upset the basic formula, but rather enriches it, proposing new monsters, weapons, items and crafting systems.

The graphic overhaul is indeed a good one here, so fans of the original chapters will be delighted.

Blackguards 2 is the true heir of the first chapter, and there's enough to keep the fans busy for many strategic gameplay hours.

This new incarnation of MotoGP presents itself in great shape at the annual meeting with enthusiasts. The neural aid system appears extremely scalable and effective, the campaign is full-bodied and highly customizable and the technical sector has also made some perceptible, although not earth-shattering, steps forward. If you want to get closer to the universe of the world championship or, simply, you are looking for a highly simulation title dedicated to the world of two wheels, MotoGP 24 is an excellent entry point.

A mature and deep storytelling and a variegated gameplay figures out a solid structure that blends with a good graphic design. The game offers 15+ hours of unique gameplay and a great replay value. The only issue is a steady camera that results in a lot of problems during combat stages and explorative sections and a poor porting from the console version.

Being a Metroid clone, Dark Void Zero is quite perfect for the digital delivery and is seriously recommended for those who haven't forget the thrill of the 80's arcade.

The Lords of Shadow collection is a highly recommended purchase for all those who have never played the first chapter.

It surely lacks a polished graphics and sound engine, but the driving experience is sound and compelling, the contents are plenty, and the track design is just great. Way better if enjoyed with first person view and a driving wheel.

Given the vintage nature of the productions, the only element that can be criticized is the price, but it is true that with just under 40 euros you will take home 6 excellent titles, 2 forgettable experiences, an OAV, hundreds of illustrations and hours of exceptional music. An offer that's really not bad!

Killer is Dead is a hymn to the multifaceted creativity of a game designer still capable of enhancing the vision of the Japanese video game industry.

The playful formula of Amnesia: The Bunker is configured as the most articulated and varied in the entire history of the brand. The introduction of weapons proved to be pleasant, because it was far from a risky action drift. Even the fascinating setting chosen for this new iteration confirms the indisputable talent of Frictional Games in crafting digital nightmares. Ultimately, if you are a fan of the series or are simply looking for a horror that thrives on tension, characterized by a valuable level design and well-crafted gameplay, you have come to the right place: the Amnesia bunker is a place you will never forget easily.

It's a good starting point to build on. Celebrating 20 years for the NFS brand, Ghost Games delivers an experience filled with content. There's room for improvements in the online and in the AI, but the foundations for a new interesting direction for the saga are all there.

The emerging narrative of Under the Waves will accompany you while you are underwater and then will make you desire to re-embrace the surface: Stan is a man who hides his past, he wanted to bury it, but he has to deal with it, especially at night . The title of Parallel Studio certainly does not offer a layered playful component, but its engaging story - linked to a credible and multifaceted protagonist - will certainly push you to fully experience this journey consisting of 7 chapters.

Sometimes it gets more intense than Hotline Miami (!), while memories of Doom will keep your spine running with shivers. Terribly challenging, but still worth it.

The folks at Over The Top Games gave life to a good (yet not very original) idea, using mythology to create a good and solid platform. Maybe it had been better to use an open structure, and not levels, but NyxQuest is surely one of the better games available on WiiWare. And they seem to be a lot.

Half platform, half racing game, with a bit of BWAAAAAAH!

Despite some issues Dead Island is a good game that mixes, in a fresh way, lots of different styles (like survival horror, action, first person gaming...). Techland's production may not be a masterpiece, but, thaks to co-op and quest variety in single player, is one of the funniest experiences in this gen.

Midnight Carnival is a quite interesting sequel in the LocoRoco series, with new gameplay elements that improve the game rhythm and variety.

The campaign doesn't have much to offer, and Kevin Spacey can only do so much. On the other hand, the multiplayer gameplay shows some courage, making this the best online COD experience since the first Black Ops.

The pulsating heart of the product is in fact also represented by the wanderings of the hero through the brilliant licenses Disney and Pixar, capable of supporting and embellishing a fresco so undoubtedly epic but also imperfect, wounded by the gears of time.

Mediterranea Inferno offers an effective blend of history, artistic direction and characterization, accompanied by a valuable sound sector. This visual novel - essential to say the least on the playful front - is able to tell the exciting story of three friends, in which it is difficult not to identify. Also for this reason, going beyond the end of the first run and dedicating ourselves to discovering the various endings of this journey seemed to us a natural choice, as proof of the talent shown by the insiders.

It's a great sequel, once more a pure celebration of the arcade "high score" philosophy.

The route traced by the guys from ILCA is undoubtedly the right one, which is why we hope that the studio will continue to work on the license in the years to come and that it can therefore perfect the shot with a hypothetical sequel.

The first Disgaea is still today a work not to be missed for any reason.

Overall, Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 is a better product than its predecessor in almost every respect. The gameplay takes advantage of the small additions of the latest Modern Warfare 2, the positioning of the loot is finally believable and the DMZ mode, despite being in Beta, already looks promising right now. At present, Warzone 2.0 has some gameplay imperfections and numerous technical problems that affect the experience both when navigating the menus and within the game itself. We hope that the situation will improve in the coming weeks, so as not to overshadow the excellent work done by the Activision teams in packaging this experience of absolute importance for Call of Duty.

Lost Ark is a title that thrives on ups and downs, but which manages to entertain the player thanks to a frenetic and rewarding combat system that is in fact the beating heart of this MMORPG.

Quotation forthcoming.
