Mario Tennis Fever presents itself to the general public with a convincing, polished look and a guaranteed entertainment value, regardless of the number of players involved. While the Story mode was a bitter disappointment, there's a wide range of other options that could keep fans engaged for a good number of hours, especially considering the accessibility and solidity of the gameplay. Some might initially turn up their noses at the further simplification of some mechanics, but we can assure you that after just a few games, you'll realize that Mario Tennis Fever's gameplay conceals a much deeper layer than you might expect.

We say it immediately and without too many turns of words: MotoGP 20 is the best game in the series and, in our humble opinion, one of the best two-wheeled racing ever.

Trials of Mana may represent a pleasant leap forward compared to the remake of its predecessor, but the end result still remains far from the current quality standards of PlayStation 4.

There are far better rhythm games connected to famous JRPG sagas, but this one can still deliver some moments of good fun.

Assassin's Creed Mirage recalls the chapters of the "pre role-playing" era with a certain effectiveness, with a system of notoriety that pushes you to return to anonymity with the means at Basim's disposal. Between the pleasant exploration of Baghdad - well characterized and equipped with the right amount of secondary activities - and interesting main missions, at least as regards level design and approach methods, Ubisoft Bordeaux has created a valid and fun experience, but not without quality problems and fluctuations. The problems related mostly to the martial choreography of the battles are accompanied by a narrative segment that is not as incisive as we hoped and stealth phases impoverished by unrefined enemy AI and offensive solutions that are all too effective.

With the only real drawback of the length, Spec Ops: The Line manages to establish itself as a well made videogame, offering a couple of enjoyable hours.

EA Sports FC 25 confirms the solidity of Electronic Arts' modern gaming and content proposal, in a chapter that is starting to show signs of a long-desired revolution. The main game modes do not offer any particular innovations, but are still more integrated with each other thanks to a unified progression system and Rush, which acts as a minimum common denominator integrating equally between Career, Ultimate Team and Club. Volta's replacement is in fact more effective and focused than its predecessor, although in cooperative matches it turns out to be quite confusing and frenetic. In any case, the substantial difference this year is in the gameplay, which maximizes the technological achievements obtained thanks to HypermotionV, FC IQ and Cranium for a more realistic, immersive and engaging digital football experience than ever before: finally, thanks above all to the improvement of Team Tactics and Player Roles, FC 25 embraces a more strategic idea of ​​football and less focused on full-throttle speed. Another small and significant step forward towards the definitive leap in quality.

It's a rushed conversion work, with a lock on the frame rate, and a couple of graphics adjustments. Not enough to call it a full remaster, and that's a real shame.

It's an interesting and sometimes weird mix. Metroidvania purists might find it unusual, but the gameplay shows some qualities.

At first glance Plaris Sectors looks like many other 4X strategy videogames, but the chance to assemble your own ships and the interesting system for the scientific research are interesting twists that any fan of the genre should try out.

For the future we hope for a greater freshness in the approach to the game, which is not always fluid, and a more rigorous attention to the technical aspects of golf: we are sure that with the right investments HB Studios has all the credentials to be able to offer an authentic advancement in simulation titles of the most famous Scottish game in the world.

Toki Tori 2 has genuinely surprised us. With very few but perfect ideas the game is one of the most intriguing puzzle in recent years.

The obvious flaws of Sable eliminate the possibility of presenting all these ideas in a coherent and engaging adventure from start to finish. The open structure of the narrative and gameplay, however, allow to calibrate the overall experience on the user's desire to immerse themselves in a story that is as fascinating as it is imperfect.

Dokuro is simply one of the best videogames on PS Vita. Perfect for the Sony Portable Console with its style and mechanics.

The work of the duo of Contingent99 will not invent anything new, but proposes the archetypes of the genre of reference at rather high levels.

EA Sports returns to the virtual links in a big way, with a PGA Tour with a pleasant visual impact. Unfortunately, EA Tiburon's simulation isn't perfect: despite a refined game physics, the control system is still a bit immature (a three-click version is about to arrive), the customization of your alter-ego can still be improved and some choice of game design appears questionable, think for example of the lack of tutorial. The thirty routes proposed are welcome, while the roster lacks an icon like Tiger Woods, although the offer of the package remains satisfactory overall.

The vote given in 2012 also reflects ours.

Realm of the Wood Elves is the best DLC of Total War Warhammer indeed: this add-on introduces new races and new interesting gameplay elements.

Endless Ocean 2: Adventures in the deep is better than its predecessor in many ways. It has a lot of contents in various aspects, from the creatures to the side mission, but its biggest quality is the nature of the entertainment it delivers. It’s more an experience than just a game: some may like it, others no, but for those who are really looking for something different it’s a must have.

WWE 2K22 will not enter the elite of wrestling simulations made up of WWF No Mercy, WWE Smack down! Here Comes the Pain and WWE SmackDown Vs. RAW 2006/2007, but it can play with the best versions of the Take 2 / Visual Concepts combination. There's no shortage of bugs, glitches, roster issues and other glitches, but WWE 2K22 is really fun to play - that's what matters most.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus represents nothing new in the series' history: extremely demanding but equally rewarding when the player successess in mastering its mechanics.

Toxic Games has been able to direct its efforts towards all aspects of the original production that, in fact, would have deserved some finishing.

Shadows of the Damned is all about the gritty charachter design of Suda 51. The game itself is nothing more than a fast-paced action version of Resident Evil 5.

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered has the undoubted merit of preserving and re-proposing in an updated key a saga that still today has all the cards on the table to fascinate the public, thanks to charismatic characters and an evocative imagery. The process of updating the experience implemented by Aspyr is fluctuating, and fails to stem the effects of the passage of time, especially evident for the first Soul Reaver. With the hope of one day being able to witness the announcement of a true remake of Raziel's epic, The Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered manages at least to attenuate the nostalgia of the fans of the first hour, with a rich package of extra content and the possibility of reliving, at a modest expense, two games that have made history.

A deep dive into retro adventure games: one clever and entangling adventure from the apparently bland start to one of the two different epic endings.

Tales of Kenzera: Zau is yet more proof that the metroidvania genre can offer great satisfaction, whatever story you try to tell. The one written by Surgent is a story of loss and revenge which, also thanks to the immense charm of the chosen setting, will remain seared in your memory for a long time. Not all the playful elements of the combat system seemed equally effective to us, and we would have liked more depth into Zuberi's character. That said, if you're a fan of the genre or just want to enjoy a good story, then you shouldn't miss it.

Shift Extended is a fascinating game and definitely fun. Unfortunately, it doesn't reach excellence because of some defect attributable to the level design.

A great variety of combat styles is not supported by an interesting number of game modes and stages. The sci-fi atmosphere is great, but considering the lack of a single player campaign, GoD Factory: Wingmen will experience some problems in maintaining players' attention.
