    Another good shot for Capcom, and finally we can play the four Mega Man Zero in their best form: we have the most balanced versions ever, for at least twenty beautiful hours. A love letter to the fans and a good opportunity for the other to know a good part of videogames history. Unfortunately the greatest extra of the collection, the Z Chaser, is not good as it looks like at first and its forbidden controls remapping ruins the experience.

    Despite the reassurances from Respawn Entertainment and the clear efforts by Bluepoint Games, the Xbox 360 version of Titanfall is not really on par with the original editions: the content might be the very same, yet the performance struggles quite a bit. In other words, Titans seem apparently more at ease with orbital drops than with generational leaps.

    Moss: Book II, the second part of Quill's journey is a much more complete and engaging experience. Building on the experience accumulated with the first chapter, Polyarc has built a sequel with ingenious puzzles and clashes with enemies that, although not particularly difficult , manage to maintain tension thanks to the variety of high interactions possible between the player, the environment, the enemies and the protagonist.

    MLB The Show 25 proves to be one of the best sports series currently available. San Diego Studio's game stands out for the main modes (Road To The Show and Diamond Dynasty above all). Also appreciable are the changes in batting and defense, while on the graphics front there is room for improvement.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2 doesn't disappoint: endowed with a massive longevity, characterized by a living and fascinating world and blessed by a fabulous narration, the game is an unmissable JRPG.

    Shadowlands is an appropriate expansion in many ways, but between merits and novelties stand out a masterful audio-visual system and a fun worthy of the golden days.

    The Messenger is a brilliant action platformer (...or is it a metroidvania?), full of irony and pretty difficult jumps. The time shift between the 8-bit past and the 16-bit "future" is what makes the game shine - even with its low replayability.

    Katana Zero is a fast-paced action game which shines thanks to its smooth, brilliant and clever gameplay, while surprisingly good writing gives an unexpected depth to the game. It’s a brand new take on the classic genre mechanics, made even cooler thanks to a lovely art style and a powerful soundtrack.

    Mortal Kombat 1 leans on a robust story (with solid foundations, but with a less than impeccable development) and a couple of other single player modes capable of entertaining for several hours – and even more, if NetherRealm Studios is able to properly exploit the seasonal system. The addition of kameo fighters and the focus on aerial combos leaves more room for the player's creativity compared to the previous chapter, with the assists of the secondary fighters breaking up and altering the rhythm of the matches in a positive way.

    Cairn is a brave, tactile, and often mesmerizing climbing experience that tries to capture the raw friction of mountaineering. However, its brilliant "independent limb" system is frequently undermined by invasive survival mechanics that break the immersion and a frustrating camera that struggles in tight spaces. It’s a game of high peaks and deep valleys: when it works, it’s a visceral triumph; when it doesn’t, it’s a fight against the interface rather than the mountain.

    You can't go wrong with Broforce: it's a blast of fun, a beautiful and addictive shoot'em up. Its a total package, wonderful to watch - with its gorgeous pixel-art style - and wonderful to play. A must. Period.

    A simple, but quite hard 2D game, deep as the cave the player has to explore. Spelunky is not for every one, and can be frustrating at times, but has a lot to give and rewards the player for his efforts.

    • 87 Critic Score
    A unique take on the tactical turn-based strategy genre, with peculiar RPG traits. The game is fun, well-designed and compelling thanks to its mechanics and a solid narrative. It's a bit too repetitive to become a masterpiece, but it's definitely a game worth checking out by anyone remotely interested in the genre.

    Grounded is a complete, well-finished and multifaceted project, capable of satisfying a wide audience both for its setting and for its mechanics. Perhaps the two-year preview had a "cooling" effect on the interest of the public, but they did very well to the final result. Net of some frustrating elements, such as a difficulty level that looks upwards if it can, and the lack of a couple of mechanics useful for those who want to enjoy the game with maximum ease - fast travel for example - Grounded it is a product that if it had been released today, without first knowing anything about it, would certainly be the center of a lot of attention. If solo is a solid game, challenging but potentially difficult to digest in its entirety, in cooperative the experience shows its best side and is able to offer many hours.

    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.

    Iconoclasts is yet another proof of how independent software is taking up an increasingly important part of the gaming market. Made with an almost palpable devotion, Sandberg's game manages to stand out for its unexpectedly mature narrative and superb level design. A few too cryptic puzzles and the massive amount of text could frighten users looking for a "pure" metroidvania. This doesn't affect the personality of Iconoclasts, which reveals itself to be a truly, great game.

    Forza Motorsport delivers one of the best simcade experiences ever made on the track, with a glorious driving model, a great dynamic weather system, and a lovely and ever-expanding pack of tracks and cars. On the other hand, the career mode is shallow and the great UX is partially nullified by a very dull sense of progression. Still great fun, lots of content, and great multiplayer potential, but it's not the ultimate Forza experience we were hoping for.

    Excluding a technical side to be fixed and compositions that are never impacting and memorable, FAR: Changing Tides is an exciting and fun previous adventure game with intelligent and well-structured gameplay, representing an evolution of the chapter of the franchise in all its its playful components. In FAR: Changing Tides the story is full of significant moments for the character as well as for the player, and I prefer not to name some of them so as not to spoil the surprise for anyone interested in buying the game, coming soon on GamePass. The story, although silent and not very rich in information, is nevertheless pleasant, with serious themes within it that manage to capture different social nuances. A videogame of this kind represents a panacea for anyone who is trying to disconnect their mind and wants to experience a journey that is not only educational, but also personal.

The return of Braking Point mode is appreciable, while the addition of the F1 World hub is ideal for those looking for a quick challenge and who like to race online.
