    KarmaZoo is a cooperative platformer that manages to entertain in its simplicity and fun, allowing up to ten players to join forces to overcome a series of procedurally generated levels. The rich roster of characters is one of the strengths of the new game experience made by Pastagames, which is characterized by problems related to a game structure that may bore you after a few hours of play.

    The Elder Scrolls: Legends is a very good CCG, but too similar to Hearthstone. The risk is to become useless for many players.

    Wrath of the Druids is a solid expansion for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, surprisingly huge and well structured, but at the time quite self indulgent in terms of storytelling and a little bit unpolished. It brings an interesting variant gameplay loop and offers 15 hours of contents, so it's perfect for die hard fans of the main campaign.

    Technically speaking, Zombi is just mediocre. But behind the looks, the game has still a lot to give, and every survival horror fan should give Zombi a chance.

    Might & Magic Legacy X is not a retro masterpiece as someone expected, but at the same time it's not just a simple exercise of nostalgic role playing gaming. It's rather an imperfect mix of the two and if you liked the old episodes of the series, you're gonna like this too.

    Warlords of the New York is a rich expansion pack for The Division 2, which relies on a magnificent environmental storytelling and great boss battle, but also on a over-used and over-spoiled game structure and a lackluster narration. The end game revolution works, but the collection of rinse and repeat mission is something to work on. Overall, anyway, it's a good expansion pack for die hard fan of the game.

    Captain Tsubasa: Rise of the New Champions is a heartful love letter to the masterpiece of Yoichi Takahashi. Despite some flaws, such as a very clumsy progression system and some naive design choices, the game is fun to play, it feels like to be in the anime series, has a great potential online and the chance to create custom team and custom players is fan service at its best.

    Yo-kai Watch 2 is a fun RPG that manages to provide some innovations and improvements compared to his predecessor. Unfortunately, some of the flaws of the original game have not been addressed yet, and some of the new gameplay elements, like train travels, can be quite boring. Despite its flaws it's still a good game, which fans of the original who don't expect too many improvements will surely enjoy.

    As Dusk Falls works as an intense first season of TV show who just you can't stop binge watch. Interior/Night cinematic adventure works great when tries to depict how three destinies are entwined after a dramatic moment lived together, while sometimes fails to build drama in believable way. Anyway, the strange mix between thriller, teen drama and family story delivers an empathetic narration and compelling gameplay, with some minor flaws here and there.

    Beyond Blue take us for a couple of hour in the deep of the ocean. More a documentary than a game, but perfect for who want a relaxing and fascinating experience.

    • 78 Critic Score
    A 2D action roguelite that offers plenty of fun combat encounters and also boasts a truly beautiful and inspired art direction that makes every moment spent in a game a joy to watch (and play). It's not without flaws, though, especially when it comes to its pacing and progression, and while combat is generally quite fun, many of the special abilities and spells are not really well balanced, which can sometimes make you feel like you rely a bit too much on the RNG factor to have a good run.

    Curious Expedition 2 is a fun and fascinating mix of roguelite, a stylish boardame and compelling adventures set in XIX century. The explorations are always fun play even if hard and punishing, with episodes of shining emergent narrative. Though, on the long run the fixed main quest structure and a little bit of déjà vu effect make the experience a little bit less magic than the first hours.

    • 78 Critic Score
    It's a shame that the technical side, despite having left the most serious problems behind, still shows some rather obvious aesthetic defects, and that the multiplayer mode is almost useless, decisively clipping the wings of a product that remains valid, but could have shone much more.

    Resident Evil HD Remaster is a fairly useless purchase for those who already perfectly know the 2002 GameCube version. However this is still a great game, even though after 13 years it was perhaps better to update it a bit 'more apart for graphics and sound.

    Dead Island 2 is a classic zombie-themed action game that offers hours of fun in its amusing brutality, with thousands of undead to slay in the most creative ways and a collection of weapons suitable for every need. However, the lack of originality limits the potential of a gaming experience that doesn't shine in terms of story and mission variety. Fighting zombies from Beverly Hills to Santa Monica is always satisfying. Still, after almost ten years of waiting for Dead Island 2, we would have expected something more than an action game that does its duty and nothing more.

    A little big game with a pounding heart, Star Drift Evolution brings a great old-school racing experience with a lot of contents, even if the presentation lacks of style.

    GRID Legends goes on the most arcade soul of Codemasters by focusing on quantity and fun. Driven to Glory, the story mode, is quite a disaster and the Career progression is a bit chaotic, but the game has so much content to offer to enjoy. Codemasters achieves to bring thrilling races on the screen and the idea to have the chance to play every single mode in multiplayer is a nice touch to strengthen the experience of a fun and compelling arcade racing game.

    A fun and clever multiplayer experience that would have been perfect if it were bundled with the console itself.

    Insurgency is a multiplayer tactical and highly realistic shooter, far away from the prevailing and more friendly patterns of Call of Duty and Battlefield, and therefore not suitable for everyone.

    Without a doubt about it, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is the best asymmetrical multiplayer experience made by Illfonic and a good example of how to make good use of a famous film franchise.

    Genshin Impact is a pleasant and unexpected surprise. With a perfectly sustainable business model the title of miHoYo is able to offer a complete and fun single player experience, all for free. Of course, the risk of getting caught up in compulsive buying mechanisms does exist, and I'm not cynical when I say that most of the game's revenue comes from this "type" of users. However, you can advance in the main campaign without spending a penny, since the world is set up in an organic way and always full of activities to do. Genshin Impact is therefore a more than discreet title, although its totally free nature could invest it with a higher "perceived value" than it really is.
