Stardust Odyessey is an interesting mix of ingredients that gives life to a pleasant but not perfectly finished playful recipe.

Phoenix Point remains a solid and pleasant title, but it is more similar to a "craft" job than to an interesting reinterpretation of the games it is inspired by.

Brilliant, hilarious, varied without ever losing consistency or amalgamation, it is really difficult to recommend a more suitable title to round off the year. Well done everyone, have a good trip.

For those who have never had the opportunity to explore the terrifying meanders of Sevastopol, the Nintendo Switch version of Alien Isolation is the best way to remedy a serious gap.

A well-built puzzle game, certainly appreciated by fans of the genre, but unable to rival the sacred monsters of the category in terms of inspiration, originality and the power of the story.

Of course, the sound accompaniment is not up to the other elements, but thanks to a collective of memorable characters, to original and functional mechanics for the genre, to an excellent bouquet of missions to follow and to a main story that loses hits only on the final, the boys of Draw Distance have sketched a remarkable work, with which it will be pleasant to get lost in the night of New York.

On Nintendo Switch, with the Rebel Collection, Ubisoft has created a small jewel, capable of guaranteeing technical performance that (especially in portability) did not make us regret the console versions in the slightest.

The story that closes the events of the Dragon Season turned out to be rather superficial. The characterization of the Pellitine region, on the other hand, proves to live up to the rather high standards of all the other contents of the work of ZeniMax Online, reiterating once again that the construction of the game world is the real strength of The Elder Scrolls Online.

The excellent conversion work done by the team of 343 Industries brings a technical section to the screen without significant failure, except for a couple of stumbles that will probably be corrected here shortly, and offers the videogame audience an excellent port, for a title which undoubtedly deserves to be rediscovered.

The Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets is an irresistible and relaxing product, as well as a perfect title for anyone who wants to approach virtual reality for the first time and discover, in small doses, the boundless potential.

Once again it is an important title, a graphic adventure different from all the others in circulation, as realistic as it is out of the ordinary.

A purchase is highly recommended to all fans of the brand, but more could be done to refine a title that still does not reach the peaks of the initial regular chapters.

A frantic and colorful puzzle game, but incapable of winning and gratifying the player due to excessive simplicity.

The basic elements were all there, but the goal is only half achieved.

The exquisite art direction and soundtrack make this journey one of the most magical of the year. A little jewel, that despite some imperfections, shines with a dazzling light.

A missed opportunity to exploit the videogame medium to talk about something important, relevant and extremely current.

To the serious shortcomings already mentioned we must then add a survey of inadequate body movements and a roguelike component capable not so much of raising the challenge rate, but rather the frustration level reached by the player.

Disney Tsum Tsum Festival is a party game that entertains, but for a short time.

Yaga is a fun and artistically inspired action RPG.

It does not rely on a solid contour such as that of the Netflix series to lighten the weight of these problems on the player, who instead sees himself launched into the fray with banal justifications without bite.

Although there is some decline on the variety front even with the excellent insertion of the cyclical reset, Stormland confirms another success for the Californian team, as well as the umpteenth production able to give more and more value to Oculus libraries.

A turn-based puzzle game that will keep you glued to the screen with its six playable characters but will end very soon at because of the only four plans currently available.

The result, however, is a jumble of mechanics that offers nothing really convincing, framed by a very low level technical realization.

Unfortunately, at the end of the approximately 30 hours necessary to complete Ryo's new journey, this third chapter is not enough to conclude the story that, at this point, in all probability will never reach its epilogue.

With Heaven's Vault Inkle offers us another extraordinarily packaged adventure, able to concentrate on very few playful elements, decorated with overflowing aesthetic and artistic qualities.

Absolutely recommended both to those who want to go back to rewriting the destiny of humanity with a pad in their hands and to beginners who wish to approach one of the most important fragments of gaming history ever.

The experiment of division into individual contracts is therefore not entirely successful, but lovers of the genre will certainly find bread for their teeth.
