The futuristic and hyper-technological dystopia proposed by Nova Polemos is well constructed and credible in its disturbing and appreciable topicality.

We Were Here fits into the PlayStation ecosystem with extreme ease: one more reason to give it a chance, in case you haven't already done so on other platforms.

Project Winter is a fun, well thought out and pleasant survival-cooperative also from an aesthetic point of view.

While the difference in tone and gameplay between the two games is quite apt, on the other hand, the global superiority of Super Mario 3D World compared to the new adventure is also evident, which ends up turning out to be an appendix or a little more. The effect is that of a very solid pairing, which once again celebrates the undisputed supremacy of the Big N in the platforming world.

Inspired and captivating, Little Nightmares II fits smoothly and coherently in the wake of its predecessor, intelligently and stylishly expanding the story to a perverse and distressing, yet at the same time almost irresistible, dimension.

Persona 5 Strikers is ultimately a must-have title for JRPG fans and for anyone who has loved the epic of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, as well as the last chance to play the role of the charismatic Joker and leave for a long journey among the most beautiful cities in Japan.

Big doubts remain about the durability of the product: in terms of content, Destruction AllStars did not seem ready to sustain the attention of the average player for more than a handful of hours, and despite its undoubted qualities it could easily end up in oblivion well before the arrival of any additions and corrective noteworthy. To this we must unfortunately also add the total impossibility of playing with friends in the individual modes, undoubtedly among the most effective of the package. A limitation that, in a game like this, could prove to be particularly disabling in the long run.

Cyber Shadow is a good product overall, and a decent debut for Mechanical Head's young Finns; a two-dimensional action that pays dignified homage to a game formula capable of still carving out an important space in today's videogame panorama. Its distinctly hardcore nature and amarcord vein make it a title probably unappetizing to a majority audience, certainly pleasant for lovers of old action-platform arcade experiences on the edge of game over. Too bad for the absence of that ludo-stylistic flicker capable of making it emerge, as well as its questionable rush to a truly unnecessary excess.

The small "pedestrian" experience of Skookum Arts shows off a rare and precious creative intelligence, so accessible and at the same time witty in its continuous games of logic, without ever neglecting an artistic component which, far from being a mere support to the action , points directly to the sight and heart of the player, making an almost perfect center.

Overall, therefore, the remasters of Nioh 1 and 2 boast a solid and satisfying performance profile, while not marking a clear step forward compared to the previous versions of the two titles, at least as regards the general performance of the graphics sector.

With a premium license like that of the World of Darkness, it would have been legitimate to aim for higher goals. Werewolf The Apocalypse: Earthblood is instead an action game son of a time now too ancient, inaccurate in the gameplay, very lazy in the composition of the levels and very weak in the progression. The good thing is that the narrative tries to weave the plots of an environmentalist, cruel and merciless story, and that the fighting phases, at least for the first few minutes, try to convey a feeling of vigorous power. Nonetheless, the game soon begins to show all its limitations, not only due to a tight budget but also a clear lack of inspiration. In short, the wolf of Cyanide does not howl at the moon: it whines.

For the moment, it is worth trying the ascent to Olympus.

If Alan Wake was an introspective, crepuscular and dreamlike thriller, Jesse Fayden's adventure adheres more decisively to the logic of genre, recovering (from House of Leaves as well as from the Area X Trilogy) a sprawling, obsessive narrative, in a strongly intimate and in any case allusive science fiction.

Thanks to its peculiar tales of storytelling and staging, the Skeleton Crew production acquires the flavor of those stories with an ancestral charm that are worth listening to, so short yet intense, often harbingers of small - sometimes great - emotions.

The night of the monsters may therefore not be the shocking event that we all expected, especially after the achievements of Lacrimosa of Dana, but a good story and the tested gameplay of the series, here embellished with a handful of new mechanics and above all by the Gifts of the Monster, which among other things greatly lighten the exploratory phases, still make it a delightful action RPG.

Especially when we consider the good initial insights, the fall of Gods Will Fall is really a great shame.

The Medium is a fascinating horror with a great unexpressed potential that falls short in being an experience that never feels truly ambitious: on the contrary it proves to be kind of limited, withheld and not exactly deep.

Except for the technical sector, Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy has done exactly what we would expect from a good sequel, that is to improve the original product in every respect.

Agent 47, smarter and more lethal than ever, comes back with a gaming experience that knows how to highlight the players’ killer instinct. Everything comes to life in a stealth adventure ripe with possibilities, a sandbox filled with ideas and alternative scenarios that encourage a variety of approaches and benefit from an inspired level design.

In short, it could be the ideal opportunity for a nice reunion of Sex Bob-omb (for the uninitiated, Scott Pilgrim's indie rock band).

MXGP 2020 is able to entertain and entertain fans very well, even if we would have expected a greater evolution in the digital representation of the world of two wheels.

It has been a while since we saw such a weak adaptation: if you are passionate about the genre it is better to focus on other products; Fortunately, there has recently been no shortage of much more valid proposals than Cobra Kai.

Forever, if nothing else, remains an above-average endless runner; a result that for the fans of the last chapter, understandably, may not be enough.

Indie reveals a great passion for Lovecraftian imagery, but unfortunately fails to pay homage to it to its full potential.

Shady Part of Me remains a good level puzzle-platformer and an experience that, in its own small way, has something to say.

Override 2: Super Mech League has failed to expand the good ideas of its predecessor, because the absence of the single-player campaign adds a limited play offer on several fronts.

In a mad rush between stone idols and legendary monsters, the three hours of Hivebusters will serve to remind you why Gears is still such a damn satisfying series after all these years.

An epilogue that is not exactly explosive, but totally consistent with the creative path of the development team, which over time has composed a content offer able to offer players dozens and dozens of hours of heart-pounding fun, including loads of loot, levels of additional difficulty, new mechanics, new weapons and extraordinarily tough enemies.
