While not giving back the sense of adventure and the unbridled collecting of the games that make up the main series of Game Freak, Pokémon Masters can represent an excellent pastime for those who are never satisfied with struggles between Pocket Monsters: production can indeed entertain with a story long-lived and a fair amount of content.

Man of Medan keeps himself afloat thanks to an atmosphere full of charm, to a sufficiently original multiplayer structure and to a valuable sense of investigative discovery that supports the limited exploration.

Control is the pinnacle of Remedy games indeed: thanks to its exceptional art design, solid gameplay and great storytelling, Sam Lake's latest work showed itself to be a truly unforgettable experience.

Ancestors is not a stereotypical game: its mix of survival game and roleplay elements enhances an adventure as imperfect as it is precious, and definitely deserving of the spotlight.

With a bit of extra care – or better, with less focus on everything that's not combat and simply more triumphant action – Astral Chain could have been even a bigger bang. As it is, it's a superb exclusive and one of the best games of 2019: not bad for a completely new IP, one that in more than a way truly is PlatinumGames's magnum opus.

A short adventure that looks at the past of the series due to its playful structure: effective yes, but too small to be fully incisive.

Lovers of exciting stories, in other words, should give a chance to Erica's affairs because - believe it - they are worth the ticket price.

Perhaps Metal Wolf Chaos would have been more suitable for a documentary on its troubled history than for a remastered HD.

The addition of a virtually flawless VR mode - at least from the point of view of game dynamics - represents the missing piece of an enveloping videogame mosaic, which captivates the senses and enchants them with always abundant doses of audiovisual wonder. Some technical problems remain, but nothing prevents No Man’s Sky from dragging the audience on a journey without boundaries, towards the extreme limits of the universe.

The quality of RAD that we have appreciated more than anything else is the ability to hide behind the excess and the goliardia a message as powerful as it is bitter to digest.

Among the constellations of the mobile galaxy, Sky: Children of the Light is one of the brightest stars.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a real shining gem to be set in the glorious history of the genus to which it belongs.

The game offers the user some very remarkable moments during the three hours required for completion, which allow the production to avoid falling into the abyss of banality.

Eight Princes is therefore not an unmissable expansion, but rather a slight variation on the theme to be received with lukewarm interest.

Lune of Elsweyr is, ultimately, a fairly static, interlocutory expansion.

The main objective of the work has been achieved, albeit with some hesitancy, and we therefore consider it necessary to reward the will of a new but extremely courageous study.

Shadowbringers is in no uncertain terms a masterpiece, a new touchstone for the genre and the series.

Setting aside the problems of the playful offer, Mini-Mech Mayhem presents itself as a strategic turn-based fun, accessible and competently balanced.

Patently listless.

Without thinking about what could have been and stopping to certainties, we can say that Horace is a unique title, surprising and surprising, difficult to describe in all its nuances and in the small emotions that it constantly manages to convey.

Compelling, cerebral and elegantly deep, Fire Emblem: Three Houses marries the tactical acumen of its turn-based battles with a management dimension that exalts even more the role of the strategic spirit of Intelligent Systems. At the center there are three abundant campaigns and an extraordinary cast of characters: an indispensable tactical experience for the "elite fighters", but on which hides the shadow of a visual frame between high and low. Nevertheless, the new Nintendo exclusive goes into the field proclaiming itself the next 2019 Switch champion.

The rich narrative component, historical flagship of the Bandai Namco brand, and the appropriate simplification of the combat system, make God Eater 3 the perfect companion for adventures during the current season.

Being with a friend to face daily and weekly assignments, trying to raise the difficulty by touching inhuman vertices of pain, falling and trying again, repeating with the daughters of Blazko the family mantra ("the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi"), it could be a great pastime for these hot summer months.

An excellent videogame supplement, cared for and always fun, varied and intelligent.

Under the protective wing of ArcSystem Works, A + Games models a solid tie-in, very faithful to the anime and very fun to play.

Blazing Chrome worthily honors the Contra and Metal Slug brands and at the same time offers a few hours of fun not only for fans of the genre but also for beginners.
