Yoshi's Woolly World is a great platform game, with clever level design but few really intriguing new ideas. Nonetheless with its challenging gameplay and lots of personality, it's the best Yoshi game since Yoshi's Island on the SNES.

Nantucket is a real surprise and will appeal to those looking for a mix of management, strategic and RPG with a fascinating lore.

Rain Games' delivers a beautiful experience: Teslagrad is a clever Metroidvania, with a wonderful storyline and a precious game design. Sometimes it can be hard to master, but if you don't surrender, you'll be plenty rewarded. If you love this kind of games, you can't go wrong with it.

Riders Republic is a high-octane ode to joy. An almost perfect extreme sports theme-park open world where having fun is the only thing that matters. Despite a confusing progression and some little hiccups camera and control-wise, Ubisoft Annecy brought in the best part of Steep, The Crew 2 and a bit of punk attitude to create a versatile and compelling experience, even if sometimes a bit too much overwhelming.

Fatal Falls introduces two new biomes, a new boss fight and few but notable new weapons, enriching the Dead Cells experience for veterans and novices alike. All in all, a very good addition to the wonderful action roguelite by Motion Twin/Evil Empire.

Don't let the silly artwork and plot confuse you: Pit People is a solid and engaging strategy game, made better by The Behemoth's signature madness.

The Legendary Edition is the best way to experience one of the most fascinating space opera in all of gaming, with refined visuals and also a few gameplay improvements for the first Mass Effect. There are still a couple of bugs and technical issues that needs to be addressed, but overall it's a solid remaster.

Demon Gaze will not revolutionize the JRPG genre, but it's a very well crafted game, that delivers tons of fun and high longevity. If you love dungeon crawlers, you should give it a chance.

NHL 19 is a great new chapter in the already glorious history of the EA IP. It succeeds in reinvigorating the gameplay on the ice, but something more could have been done off the rink (gameplay modes, matchmaking).

A fun, challenging, stylistically original and short (but not expensive) platform/action game. Well spent money.

Castle In The Darkness is a wonderful game, a clever Metroidvania. Matt Kap, its designer, goes straight to the point, taking the best from the NES era. Like a rose, this game has its thorns and stings, but, as the say, “no pain, no gain”.

F1 2019 adds the FIA Formula 2 race cars and some minor improvements to the celebrated formula of its official racer, plus the epic rivalry between Senna and Prost in the Legends Edition of the game. An episode which is more about new content than structural changes. And that is okay.

Mafia: Definitive Edition is a clever, stylish and faithful remake of a cult game, which 18 years later, is still powerful lesson of how to tell a story in an open world. Hangar 13 did a great job rebuilding the city and the atmosphere with a modern touch, the story is still great and compelling, while the gameplay sometimes feels a little bit too old.

The strength of the game three years after its release is not in debate, and this new version for PlayStation 4 (although not much "Pro") is well done.

Short yet very intense, FRU is the best reason you should reconnect Kinect to your Xbox One.

Children of Morta is a fun but derivative, stylish and elegant story driven roguelite. Although the setting is quite usual, the story of the Bergsons family is heartwarming and moving, and that makes this game quite unique.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is an enjoyable experience thanks to its mix of puzzles and combat. While not inventing anything new, it exploits the cooperative element of the two protagonists in an intriguing way.

A good addition to the Total War roster. It offers some unique new mechanics and a very different playstile for each hero. Balancing issues however damage the overall experience.

Sifu is an uncompromising and merciless fighting game, but for this very reason it manages to give great satisfaction.

Bomb Chicken is a visually stunning and smart game, with a lovable (and explosive) main character.

The Artful Escape is a powerful and aesthetically wonderful generational hymn, which sounds great and uses gameplay as a subtle way to give rhythm to a short, but intense, experience.

Enjoyable in some respects, but very disappointing in others, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV does not fail to live up to the series’ legacy. Still, it's a little step back compared to the third installment.

A great action game that really shines in its combat mechanics and use of Force powers. If you love Star Wars and can't wait to restore the Jedi Order, then you will definitely enjoy Cal's journey - otherwise you could be disappointed by a game that, despite its fun gameplay, is not supported by a compelling story or unforgettable characters.

Solasta is a very good tactical RPG that offers a faithful adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons' fifth edition and a robust and satisfying combat system. It doesn't break new grounds, nor does it really try to, but Solasta succeeds at almost everything it sets up to do. If you love turn-based combat and a classic fantasy adventure there aren't many reasons not to try this game.

If you hate the musou games, Fire Emblem Warriors will hardly make you change your mind about the genre, but for everyone else it’s a strongly recommended game thanks to its tactical and strategic elements.

A very nicely done port of a very nice space sim. IF you love the genre, and perhaps love Firefly too, it's a must have.

Virtual reality is not new to the world of Among Us, but this official VR version still makes a good impression, even if at the moment it is a bit stingy with contents.

A surprisingly deep gameplay and occasionally brutal difficulty make Gunbrella an enticing game worthy of attention if someone is in search of something unique and retro.

World of Final Fantasy is a great example of how an homage should be done: a solid infrastructure and a lot of passionate work. It's not a perfect game and it lacks in building enough around its core, but it's a really good Final Fantasy game, and it should be enough for all fans.

Hard, stylish and high in replayability. Too bad for the occasional slowdowns in an otherwise excellent shooter.

A good digital version of the tabletop classic, Blood Bowl 2 mixes good humor with tactical depth.

It won't be all clean and perfect, but it carries on a complex story with honesty and intransigence by pumping blood through the veins of its characters.

Fires of Rubicon is Armored Core as it should always have been: the new game delivers a great combat system and mobility, but unfortunately, it's hampered by a few shortcomings no longer excusable to a world-class studio such as From Software.

Football plus cars: Rocket League by Psyonix is the perfect psychotropic cocktail to satisfy your thirst for action and competition. Become a goal machine has never been so fun.

Old and new merge in Vaporum: the result is an engaging game able to satisfy basically everyone.

Ghost Giant is a perfect example of how the VR adapts very well re: puzzle games, thanks also to a very satisfying interaction with the environment.

Fast & furious: the Fox team is back with an old-school shooter that's visually underwhelming, but that's a joy to play (even if the control scheme can be a bit tricky).

Thanks to a few, well done innovations, PGA Tour 2K23 confirms itself as the best golf simulation available nowadays.

A Solid and deep JRPG, with an exceptional attention to detail. Unfortunately, it suffers from repetition and a certain redundancy narrative.

This is how you make a retro-collection: full of extras and interesting tidbits.

Sit down, fasten your seat belt and start the engine: Roundabout is a 70s galore blast of fun. The revolving taxi isn't an empty gimmick, but a strange and compelling idea. You'll laugh from the beginning of the game and you won't stop, even after its end.

Rich in ideas and options, Golf With Your Friends is an excellent multiplayer game with some rough edges here and there.

A very clever and addictive shoot'em up co-op game, with a lovable, not pun intended, appearance. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime has some little flaws, like its difficulty spikes, but aside those it's perfectly executed.

Pac-Man CE2+ is a frantic experience that every good on-the-go gamer should have. But the new 2P mode could and should have been way better.

Dragon Quest Heroes is one of the best musou games we've played in a while, thanks to its intriguing RPG elements.

Beyond unquestionable problems such as an unsuitable AI or the need for a technical cleanup, Dying Light 2 is a huge and addictive game that offers lots of different activities: Techland managed to create a sequel that's different in so many ways from its predecessor, but at the same time faithful to the unique gameplay that makes it so special.

Crown of the Sunken King is optional. It doesn't evolve Dark Souls 2, it doesn't add Trophies/Achievements, you can still enjoy Dark Souls 2 without Crown of the Sunken King. But in the DLC you'll find the best level design of the whole game.

Samurai Shodown makes a fine comeback after a decade: refreshing and still exciting to play, it's the long-awaited title we hoped for.

Jusant mixes adventure, exploration, a cryptic and mysterious storyline and lots of climbing sections with good results. It's not a genre for everyone, but if you've always dreamed of a mix of Grow Home, Journey and The Climb, here it is.

A good successor to the original Valkyria Chronicles, with some new stuff. It's a pity the game is so stuck in its past.

A mature adventure game that challenges you with hard choices and puts you in real life situations. The writing is not always at top level, but when it works it's great.

Back 4 Blood continues the tradition of PvE shooters started by Turtle Rock Studios with Left 4 Dead, but offering a better gameplay dynamics and a fun campaign to play online with three other players.

While not revolutionizing the genre as its predecessor did, Overwatch 2 works thanks to a more modern competitive structure and is fun with its smoother gameplay.

While offering only discrete graphics and gameplay still to be refined, The King of Fighters XIV is an excellent starting point for the rebirth of the brand. Content-rich, affordable and fun, the last SNK title is still far from its former glory, but the basis laid are so solid to ensure more than a hope for the future of the series.

The fourth and final season of The Walking Dead starts off on the right foot, with a long-lived and well-written episode that does not renounce to small but important technical-structural innovations.

Studio Pixel is back to the future, with this addictive action-game. It came from the NES (not from the desert) and its a pixel bonanza. With its “Japanese spirit”, Kero Blaster is a wonderful indie game and you shouldn't miss it.

If you have someone to play with, choose this cooperative retro platform, inspired by old-school games. Puzzle are clever and its level design is great too. Give a joypad to someone close to you, don't mind who it is, and enjoy the ride until the ending roll.

Yo-Kai Watch is a game with a great personality and a highly approachable combat system, but not free from major flaws: the random Yo-Kai capture system can be kinda frustrating, and it's a shame that it doesn't have an online multiplayer feature.

A nostalgic tribute of 90s RPGs. Great music and atmosphere, perfect for people who search a brief adventure instead of excessively long RPGs.

A fresh new take in the Shovel Knight adventures which successfully embraces the roguelike trend and wraps it in wonderful pixelart.

Beyond: Two Souls is still an intriguing piece of digital narrative. It has some plot flaws, but living Jodie's story in the new straight order is refreshing, and some of the improved visual effects are mesmerizing.

Expeditions: Rome is the best title in the series yet, with an intriguing storyline that can be partially influenced by players choices and a deeply satisfying combat system in which players can test their tactical prowess.

Bigger, badder, better: Goat Simulator 3 is a very fun open world game with a surprisingly intriguing multiplayer mode. If you want to discover every single one of its secrets, you'll have to play for many... many hours.

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts is the most complete, balanced and technically successful episode in the series. Excellence is still missing, but we are really on the right track.

SnowRunner is a brilliant off-road truck simulator with a keen eye to entertainment and fun. Deep but accessible, frustrating but rewarding, it's a compelling experience where impossible adventures become possible.

More accessible than ever for new players, thanks to new options such as Play the Moments and Big Decisions. Now it is time to revamp the graphic engine, though.

BioShock: The Collection is a good remaster, with graphics visibly improved. It includes all single-player content from the three games and that makes this collection perfect for those who have never played a BioShock in their life, but the lack of fresh new content makes it less suitable for longstanding fans.

If you are looking for an atmospheric VR survival horror with a beautiful ghost-story setting and prodigious sound design, Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife is the game for you.

While not reinventing genre mechanics, Cocoon is an intriguing puzzle game that immerses the player in an introspective journey through spheres that encompass entire worlds within them. Despite being notably simple, it offers well-constructed enigmas and a remarkably well-balanced learning curve. It doesn't reach the expressive heights of titles like Journey but represents a significant advancement in Carlsen's games, inviting the players to reflect on themselves and the worlds they've created. Highly recommended.

Westerado: Double Barreled dresses like John Wayne, shoots like Clint Eastwood and has Lee Van Cleef's attitude. It won't last too long, but it's a beautiful, clever and addictive experience. You won't find anything like it on Steam.

If you've always dreamed of a sort of post-apocalyptic soulslike with guns and rifles, procedural levels and third-person shooter mechanics, you've found it.

Chocobo GP recollects the legacy of Chocobo Racing, proving to be a solid and fun kart game with the undeniable added value given by being set in the Final Fantasy universe. With famous locations from different chapters of the series and iconic characters, anyone who loves the Japanese series will instantly feel at home. It isn't easy to find originality in a kart game, it's inevitable to learn from the masterpieces of the genre but Chocobo GP doesn't lack a personality of his own and this has to be noted. We are not saying that the yellow feathered bird has surpassed the mustachioed Italian plumber but those looking for an alternative after the years spent on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will not be left disappointed, the only shame is the fact that there are just a few limited number of circuits available that we hope will be increased with the already announced post launch support.

Phantom Liberty is a good expansion that adds an intriguing storyline filled with memorable characters and that, together with the 2.0 version, manages to also improve the gameplay, adding new features and changing existing ones that help Cyberpunk come closer to what we were promised years ago.

F1 22 is amazing on track, delivering great fun and thrilling action to all F1 fans. Physics and the new driving model, even if through the usual simcade lens, stage unpredictable and intense races. On the other hand, F1 Life and Supercar are shallow addition, very far from Codemasters standards in terms of quality and attention to the details. Overall, the New Era of F1 is brilliant of track, while not-so-new in terms of experience outside the paddock.

A fascinating mix of RTS and tower defense that uses the VR in a smart way and provides a level of challenge far from trivial.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp is a great app for every fan of the series, but also for those who never really appreciated this peculiar Japanese title. Despite keeping the general feeling of a classic Animal Crossing, it still lacks of some elements that make you experience that nice sensation of having your personal little peaceful and quiet world. The game is also penalised by slow loading times. I particularly appreciated the way microtransactions are managed, also because the game doesn't really make you wanna buy anything: waiting for things to reload is definitely not a big deal.

A well made port for a multiplayer game that's still fun and very good looking.

The latest entry in the Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario series is a good one. The new trio works smoothly, and the game is as funny as it has always been. But the Paper Toad missions are a bit tedious and the Papercraft battles lack something.

A solid RPG experience in the frozen wastelands of Colorado, that will satisfy gamers looking for hours and hours of rich quests in a nice post-apocalyptic setting.

An excellent textual adventure, with a deep and articulated story. The strategic element could be improved, but it remains a fun outline at the heart of the title which is clearly the narrative.

Battlefield V reconfirms its usual and granitic certainty in multiplayer, while the single player campaign fails to strike as we would have hoped.

Despite a single player campaign that is too predictable, the fresh and fun multiplayer, with the addition of the boost mechanics, is reason good enough to go back for another ride.

A fun shooter that shines thanks to a few tweaks to the original formula, as well as some new weapons, maps, and customization options that make Splatoon 3 the best chapter in the saga.

Stray is not just a cat walking simulator, but a well-balanced adventure that turned out to be another winning bet for Annapurna Interactive. The merit of the success is to be attributed to Bluetwelve Studio, whose love for cats has allowed the French developers to create a very refined game in many respects. If you love cats and animals, don't miss Stray or you may regret it.

Lovecraft meets John Ford and they duke it out in a turn-based western-style shootout. Cowboys and demons for a game with a strong narrative bent and solid, if a little too by-the-numbers, tactical combat.

Lacking in fighters and originality, Rivals of Aether is a fine re-implementation of Smash Bros aimed at hardcore players.

Ironically, Sunset Overdrive resembles a lot the weird energy drink the game revolves around: refreshing, crazy-cool and full of bubbles (yet with a not fully convincing aftertaste). In the end, it's a solid and pleasing exclusive, but far from a killer application.

Grand Kingdom is a JRPG that combines good tactic structure with a frantic, fun action. A great compromise for those who love the genre.

1080p and 60fps (or even 4K and 60fps on PS4 Pro) and the very good price of 19,99 euros give the game a new chance to be enjoyed.

Far Cry: New Dawn is a good spin-off for Far Cry 5, but doesn’t completely match the value of the parent game. If you enjoyed FC5 and want more, this is a good "more". Otherwise, play FC5 first.

Chorus is a space-combat shooter with a good personality, where intense intergalactic dogfights represent the most successful part of the game that is supported by an appreciable artistic direction. It's not perfect but it offers valid reasons to be played, especially by those who love space-themed shooters.

The usual cool gameplay, crisp graphics, solid frame rate... a very good port.

Surviving Mars is the best extra-terrestrial city builder currently on the market. Micromanagement-heavy and somewhat obscure, dedicated genre fans will nevertheless love it.

The innovative and tight simulation of the latest DiRT: Rally renews the traditional and relaxed arcade mood of the long-established DiRT series in a game that successfully blends the two approaches. DiRT 4 is no revolution, just an excellent recap.

Doom in this portable version is an experience to try at least once and to enjoy completely, despite some graphical limits and controls in need of careful calibration.

Good 'ol COD hasn't changed much. It's still a frantic and explosive experience that gives its best in multiplayer. The single player campaign is well-executed, but a bit shallow.

An interesting mix of tactics and management, enriched by the typical Double Fine mood. Too bad for the over-simplified fighting engine, yet the game is charming enough to entertain for a long time.

A nice remaster operation which brings new life to a classic title of the original Xbox's library. Decent in single-player, excellent in multiplayer.
