Section 8: Prejuice is definitely a good online FPS, better than the prequel in every aspect. Single player campaign and multiplayer certainly have much to offer, despite many imperfections.

Twelve Minutes represents a videogame experiment born from a series of suggestive intuitions. The choice of setting the title within the confines of a small two-room apartment, combined with the mystery that constantly permeates the work, certainly represents one of the most valuable aspects of the Indie published by Annapurna Interactive. Unfortunately, a scarce malleability, the limited possibilities of interaction and a narrative evolution that makes excessive use of artificial solutions prevent Luis Antonio's work from fully expressing its starting potential.

Behind Sol Cresta lies the desire for redemption of a Platinum Games wounded in pride since Star Fox Zero. A Shoot 'em up with ancient inspirations but aware of coming into the world in 2022, capable of introducing a huge variety of innovative and brilliant mechanics but that exaggerate with the amount of its contents, which become almost suffocating. Excellent work done on accessibility in a genre in which it is not obvious to have so much freedom of approach, less brilliant than done in terms of legibility, crippled by a shallow color palette and a difficult understanding of the layout of the individual stages. Absolutely unacceptable that its plot has been cut and is being sold separately in a DLC priced at € 10.

Super Mario Run is not an endless run game: it’s a great platform game which can be played on a touch screen.

Rise of the Ronin is undoubtedly the most ambitious of the titles developed by Team Ninja up to this point, as well as the riskiest. This is because the vision modeled by the studio led it to face unprecedented challenges in terms of design and technical implementation, deriving from the choice to opt for an open world that frames a more complex narrative structure than that of the previous productions of the Japanese collective. Unfortunately, the aspects that go beyond Team Ninja's "comfort zone" are also the least convincing, in the face of a playful core that reaffirms the developer's talent for creating layered and satisfying combat systems, this time with an eye towards accessibility. The combat system itself is the element that vigorously raises the qualitative balance of Rise of the Ronin, capable of offering hours and hours of martial contests that are as intense as they are exciting. Such is the merit of the combat-progression combo, that it is easy to establish how a more linear structure focused on clashes would have given greater impetus to the proposal, perhaps limiting the technical compromises that the game clearly manifests. Overall, therefore, Rise of the Ronin offers a worthwhile experience, as well as more accessible than the average of Team Ninja's productions, although the route towards the open world has limited the potential of the proposal.

The positive and negative sides of the curious Piku Odyssey end up being absurd: the first work of the collective Sectordub entertains and distracts, without leaving a mark beyond the carefree and cheerful tones.

No doubt about it: Surviving Mars is a good sci-fi city builder.

What is missing, however, is perhaps that special twist, that extra momentum of creativity capable of giving a truly memorable body and structure to the title: who knows what paradox, considering the total absence of the creepy protagonist's backbone.

PopCap Games reinvents its most famous brand, and turn it in a funny multiplayer shooter, with both cooperative and competitive game modes. It is not revolutionary, but it's still solid and genuinely entertaining.

Quotation forthcoming.

The first chapter fascinated the public with the great characters and a well crafted cliffhanger. A shame that this second part doesn't seem able to show the same qualities, to shrinked between the linearity and the absence of new fascinating characters.

Perhaps its beauty, however, is right there, in its hit & run irreverence like the sudden appearance of a colorful artificial fire in the shape of poop.

The new effort by AGEOD and Slitherine introduces an even more fascinating and dramatically real aspect: the decadence of a nation and a people which, then as now, must be fought with culture, good administration and infrastructure investments.

Onde is a different puzzle platform, one of those video games capable of capturing the player's attention for three hours and projecting it into his two-dimensional world. His genius lies in the flawless management of his single mechanic, which is gradually overturned and transformed to make the game more and more satisfying. Onde is a journey into the eternal cycle of life and death in the universe, a journey to be made by surfing on waves of light while being lulled by its splendid soundtrack.

The rating you find at the bottom of the article is the result of a balance between the incredible qualities of the original product and a remastered work that is not always in-depth. Is Nocturne: HD Remaster the best entry point for the Shin Megami Tensei saga? Surely. Is this the best result that could have been achieved? Probably not. But the desire for Shin Megami Tensei V has now become irrepressible.

Full of pathos, well orchestrated and absolutely epic (but at the same time cryptic), Crimson Shroud will attract its target audience, keeping away all other types of gamers.

Quotation forthcoming.

Need For Speed ​​Rivals is fast-paced, convincing and fun above all. AllDrive beats down barriers between online and offline once and for all but the 30 FPS anchorage on PC would not be good for enthusiasts.

It seems to take inspiration from some 2D-era classics, but in the end it finds its own dimension. Originality takes time to emerge, but when it does, the game will definitely stand aside as a fulfilled experience.

Although devoid of temporary power-ups and other mechanics of the genre, New Super Lucky's Tale is an honest and fun platformer, whose main defects are represented by a longevity that runs out in 8-12 hours and a challenge rate calibrated towards the bass.

Kaptain Brawe can be today a good start for the young ones who never played Monkey Island or the ones who are never satisfied from the graphic adventures. G5 did a really job on this App and we would enjoy a sequel.

Deadbolt is a small action game that can be extremely funny. The gunfight tension is worth more than the gunfight itself: a fundamental rule in cinema that Hopoo Games perfectly applied to its videogame.

If the future DLC will be held to the same standards as La Rapina, in fact, the city that never sleeps could prove to be an expansion worthy of the basic game.

Despite the plethora of bugs, Red Orchestra 2 delivers the best WW2 experience to date. Forget about the buggy and useless singleplayer and embrace the entangling realism of a real battlefield, like never before.

A terrible edition: a lot of aliasing, input lag and a faulty control scheme.

The Flame in the Flood is a scary and quiet sandbox game, set in a terrifying post-apocalyptic world. The survival game by Molasses Flood tries to provide a strong emotional impact.

Quotation forthcoming.

There's no getting around it: Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is the best way to enjoy the latest iteration of the party franchise featuring the heroic plumber in overalls. The base game returns in its complete version, enhanced by the Jamboree TV expansion, which dramatically increases the amount of content included in the package. Not all of the new features seemed particularly impressive, but all things considered, it's still one of the best party games on the market.
