The Witcher: Monster Slayer is a respectable product, absolutely up to the standards of CD Projekt RED (despite the development being entrusted to the subsidiary Spokko), and able to give dozens and dozens of hours and walks to the players.

The idea behind AKIBA's TRIP is tasty and fun, but if in 2011 the product could work even with all its shortcomings and the limitations imposed by the PSP hardware, the same cannot be said for its re-release.

Net of what we perceived as shortcomings for a narrative work, Last Stop still offers several hours of entertainment, for an IP that leaves the way open for a sequel, while effectively closing the proposed plot. And a probable sequel could be able to file the defects highlighted, to shape a more engaging title.

A few years ago Acid Nerve had already proved its personality and vision with the hefty Titan Souls, yet the breakthrough made with Death's Door is frankly stunning.

If in general the hybrid nature of Nintendo Switch tends to balance the technical limitations of the hardware with portability, in this case there is no valid reason why you should prefer this second version of Ys IX: Monstrum Nox to the one launched just a few months ago on PS4 and PS4 Pro, which has even been supporting 4K resolution for some time.

The first narrative expansion of Watch Dogs Legion: Bloodline is a strange creature: a sort of hybrid between the classic course of the series and the more libertarian approach followed with the latest iteration of the brand. Although the DLC does not always manage to find the right balance between its two natures, generating some fluctuations both on the playful and on the narrative side, the result is a fun and smooth experience, which ultimately manages to achieve what is its goal number one: to offer early-stage fans a functional closure to Aiden Pearce's story.

With the public's attention clearly directed towards the sequel to Breath of the Wild, the choice to quench the thirst of fans with the revival of one of the most controversial chapters of the series could make this re-release welcome with a certain prejudice. In reality, it is an edition that allows you to experience an adventure unfairly sunk in a new light by questionable design choices already at the time of the original publication. Skyward Sword remains an imperfect title, but this HD version finally manages to do justice to a production that is too often underestimated, making it accessible to a wide audience of gamers who should absolutely not miss the opportunity to discover the origins of the legend of Zelda. An almost mandatory recovery for those who have been struck by Breath of the Wild and equally essential for those who threw in the towel in 2011.

Although with a different nature and less fiercely hardcore, Boomerang X reminded me with undisguised enthusiasm that independent gem that goes by the name of Devil Daggers. Also in the debut feature of DANG! it all revolves around fierce, tight-knit gameplay, expertly built around brilliant controls and a fast-paced pace. Massacre legions of creeping blackish monstrosities with exasperated aerial acrobatics on the notes of an exotic oriental soundtrack proves to be a tasty satisfaction: even within its limits (starting with a price threshold of 19.99 € not exactly popular), Boomerang X is only the 'latest in a long series of targets centered by Devolver Digital.

Available for € 24.99 exclusively on PlayStation 4, Where the Heart Leads is an independent production with a very specific focus. With a calm and thoughtful pace, he takes his own time, proposing a narrative that is never hasty or concise. As highlighted by the development team, this is not a work suitable for everyone, but for those looking for an articulated graphic adventure, able to confront choices and issues faced in a never banal way, the production Armature Studios is highly recommended.

So charming, yet so imperfect.

It is true that there are works capable of going far beyond what has been done by The Silver Case and The 25th Ward, but it is also true that it is extremely difficult to find two works held together by such a valid internal coherence and, above all, a level of character writing so high.

F1 2021 is a solid, full-bodied chapter full of content. It probably represents one of the best hybridizations between simulation and accessibility on the market today.

The Nintendo Switch version of Sky Children of the Light manages to convincingly replicate what has seen in the last two years on iOS and Android systems.

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin confirms itself as a solid and delightful JRPG, as well as a respectful spin-off towards the main series from which it is based.

Lost Ruins is nothing more than a cumbersome, unnecessarily frustrating and unbalanced video game. In short, it is a jumble of excellent ideas thrown to the wind, but which at least is a feast for the eyes.

We Are Football is a title with some interesting ideas and a good starting point for the future.

Despite some uncertainty both on the playful and on the technical level, Chivalry 2 therefore proves to be able to conquer both the old-fashioned fans and the new recruits, among the jerseys of a satisfying, multifaceted and more tactical gameplay than the light-hearted nature of the production do not imply.

ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights has an undoubtedly classic and recognizable structure for fans of the metroidvania genre, but at the same time manages to amaze thanks to an impeccable execution and a plot that blossoms as the adventure continues.

Not only did Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny not turn out to be as explosive, but the product seemed to us a listless more of the same, moreover suffering from technical deficiencies that were unjustifiable to say the least.

Turning a blind eye to the graphics and taking into account the limits of Joy-Con with such a technical title, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 remains a gem even on Nintendo Switch, albeit much less brilliant.

Legend of Mana Remastered is a production worthy of respect, a must especially for those who love the series and have loved the re-editions seen in recent years.

With some further precautions, the exclusive Nintendo Switch could have aspired to an Eagle, a result that has not yet completely abandoned the field: a lot will depend on the quality of the post-launch DLCs that will reach the green for free over the next few months.

Scarlet Nexus is a complex creature, the mirror reflection of a layered and mysterious imaginary that hides a small rough diamond under a blanket of arcana.

Overall, SEGA's multi-event title works and will provide decidedly pleasant afternoons and evenings to enjoy as a family in pursuit of the Olympic dream.

It takes just over four hours to fall in love with Minute of Islands, an indie adventure that plays with the user's expectations, attracting him with his boyish graphic mantle into a corrupt, exhausted insular world, with an uncertain past history, as indeed it is. the nature of the characters who act within it is uncertain.

Dark Alliance, however, remains a decent first test for Tuque's guys. Now, we just have to delve into the co-op aspect as soon as the servers open and closely follow the evolution of the title in the coming months. For the price at which it is offered and for its inclusion in the Xbox service since day one, we advise you to give it a chance.

We are faced with a game that can only attract the attention of big fans of the TV series or those who do not give up on any product focused on the DC Universe.

Whether or not you have already completed the first part of Cloud and fellow travelers' adventure, our advice is therefore to return to Midgar as soon as possible, perhaps taking advantage of the free update from PS4 and PS5.
