Sherlock Holmes-The Devil’s Daughter is born from below, affected by a quite limited financial investment, which can be seen through its weak technical part. Yet, it has tried to remedy to this lack by offering an excellent gaming variety, with a less linear and more compelling progress. It is a small but necessary step forward for this franchise.

Already the author of the appreciated remake of Trials of Mana, the Xeen studio has subjected Romancing SaGa 2 to a targeted rejuvenation work limited almost exclusively to the technical component, making just a couple of adjustments to the gameplay and the plot. Overall, the final result is more than satisfactory, however this could and should have been the right opportunity to enrich the characterization of the characters, who today as then continue to be insufficiently cared for. If on the one hand we suggest its recovery to all lovers of the genre and to anyone who has not yet tried their hand at the Inheritance System, a mechanic that is always tasty and truly unique in its genre, on the other we are well aware that the lack of localization of the texts in Italian could cause more than a few headaches to non-users of English.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is not a production without rough edges, but at the same time it is a welcome surprise of this 2024. The work of Stormind and Saber Interactive proves to be worthy of the prestigious name it bears printed on the cover, successfully completing the difficult task of adapting this film franchise into video game form. If you are a fan of digital horror, you have loved the films of the saga or you are simply looking for a title to dedicate a few thrilling hours to in the scariest period of the year, we strongly recommend you give it a chance, especially in light of the highly competitive price at which it is proposed.

Episode Three is simply the staple on an interesting, indie package, which fans of graphic adventures would do well to not underestimate.

Quotation forthcoming.

Helldivers is fun and engaging, and the "galactic warfare" theme adds interesting elements to the global cooperation. On the other hand, even if the character progression will keep the players interested for a while, the repetitive missions will loose their grip.

In short, if you have the opportunity to taste it elsewhere, do not hesitate to do it without too many hesitations, because the proverbial Switch factor is in this case much less incisive than elsewhere (and indeed requires the payment of duties that to some extent compromise the pleasantness of the whole) .

We have often asked ourselves, "How exactly do you *play* Tomodachi?" and the answer is that, perhaps, it is Tomodachi that plays with *us*—and not the other way around. It is the Miis who propose activities involving themselves and request changes to their lifestyles, clothing, diet, and interactions with other Miis; while we, on the other hand, simply sit back to enjoy their reactions and build—in the truest sense of the word—a comfortable environment for them, one in which they can fully express themselves even when we aren't watching. Inevitably, variety begins to wane as time goes by; once you have built your own personal paradise, unlocked all the town amenities, and witnessed most of the game's scenarios, the repetitiveness starts to set in. The most creative players might still find some joy in the drawing editor or in designing new Miis, but the initial spark of enthusiasm simply won't be the same. We firmly believe that a roadmap of "Nintendo-made" content updates is needed to extend the longevity of *Tomodachi Life*—much like what was done for *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*. In the meantime, however, this delightful "Tamagotchi-meets-Mii" title from the Kyoto-based developer remains fully capable—just like its predecessor, but with an expanded toolkit—of entertaining and surprising anyone in search of a good laugh and a healthy dose of absurdity. Case in point: a wedding between your own grandmother and Hideo Kojima. A true story—at least on our island...

Pac Man Championship Edition 2 is a solid title; rich, funny and well developed. Still, it can not match the incredible Championship Edition DX.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human is a title that struggles to bear the weight of its ambitions, as a result of a development path that in all probability proved to be more bumpy than expected.

Super Chariot earns the title of best porting of the original game without too much effort, being able to count on a series of features - typical of Switch - nothing short of ideal for use in local co-op.

It's a niche game, no doubt about that. On the other hand, the contemplation it offers is sometimes really unique.

Dead Island Riptide remains a product of moderate value, repeating in part the success of its predecessor.

Anyone who loves music, with a particular fondness for electronic sounds, should certainly give Electronauts an opportunity.

An old fashioned arcade game, colorful and funny like games from Sega used to be.

Unique remakes of their kind, which find all their strengths and weaknesses in the morbid attachment to the past.

Far from being a perfect product, Warhammer 40.000: Inquisitor - Martyr is however a versatile and enjoyable title both by fans of the genre and, above all, by lovers of the boundless background of reference.

F.3.A.R. can be disappointing for old times fans but some interesting gameplay features and a peculiar multiplayer game mode gives a value that made the title a valid alternative to Infinity Ward and DICE productions.

There is no doubt that those who loved Lone Sails will feel at home wallowing in the wet world of FAR: Changing Tides.

Quotation forthcoming.

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.

An atypical and dreamy experience, to be recommended to those who wish to immerse themselves in something different.

Quotation forthcoming.

Below can be extremely punitive and frustrating. In case you intend to embark anyway, we advise you to bring back a good deal of patience-in-box, because you will certainly need it.

The combat system is indeed deep, but the characters are quite scarce. Fortunately, there's plenty of customization to back that up. Also, game modes aren't that varied, and that could spoil the fun for some players.

Alice: Madness Returns is not a masterpiece at all but, thanks to fine gameplay mechanics and a peculiar art design, it can be really engaging and funny.

The second chapter of Osmotic Studios's conspiratorial saga closes with an episode that adds - finally - to the experience genuinely new game mechanics.
