I already had good expectations for this narrative RPG but somehow it has managed to exceed them by far. Yes, it draws heavily from Disco Elysium (and from other sources such as the legendary Planescape: Torment), but it's not just a shallow copy of the original, instead it's a game with a strong identity of its own, one that can stand proudly alongside some of the best RPGs of the last decade.

There’s something special in this game: I don’t know if it’s the amazing level design, the idea of using shadows and lights like platforms and wall or the cuteness of the main character, but everything works, and works really well.

Life is Strange is a beautiful adventure in which Max and Chloe have to struggle through time and different choices to figure out what's happening in Arcadia Bay.

The DLC pieces aren't earth-shattering, but the complete pack is a good way to enjoy one of the most finely crafted action-rpg experiencs published this year, at a budget price.

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.

Doom: The Dark Ages marks a new chapter for the series, excelling in its combat system and more open map design, though it falls short in other areas.

The Forgotten City may not be an entirely new game, being an adaptation of one of the most renowned Skyrim mods, but it's still a very intriguing narrative adventure that can entice players with its writing and original story premise.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is a visually stunning and meticulously crafted remake that remains deeply faithful to one of the most beloved video game masterpieces of all time. Every scene, line of dialogue, and camera angle is recreated with near-religious reverence, capturing the emotional and cinematic power of the 2004 original in crisp, modern detail. But this same unwavering loyalty is also its greatest limit: the gameplay, AI, level design, and many of the mechanics from two decades ago now feel noticeably dated, and Konami has made very few efforts to modernize them. Longtime fans will find a familiar and lovingly restored experience, but for those experiencing Naked Snake's journey for the first time, this version may feel a bit stiff.

An ambitious sequel that doesn't just offer more of the same old Frostpunk experience but brings the series in a new direction. If you are a veteran of the first game, you may initially feel disoriented by the new gameplay formula, but give it time, and you'll find that Frostpunk 2 is another excellent game from 11 bit Studios.

The second coming of Insomniac in Spider-Man’s universe translates into a convincing ’standalone DLC’. Nothing really new in the structure of Marvel’s Spider-Man, but some interesting new actions are surrounded by an impressive technical achievement.

Batman: Arkham Shadow is a great VR experience for Batman fans, featuring engaging gameplay and a well-crafted story. Despite bugs and frame-rate drops, it remains a must-have title on Meta Quest 3.

Maybe Control is not a masterpiece, but it's still one of the best games made by Remedy Entertainment and a fascinating sci-fi third person action adventure.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ is a perfect match for the new Nintendo Switch. Is easy to grasp and its pace suits perfectly the Switch portability. With hundreds of weapones, enemies, mysteries and rooms to explore... you got plenty to sink teeth into.

The same technical power enjoyed on other consoles, plus a greater tactical and tactile control. Visual Concepts' first steps on the Wii U platform are measured, yet secure.

Pragmata is an old-school, linear yet intriguing sci-fi adventure that shines through its dual combat system and, above all, the relationship between Hugh and Diana, which forms the emotional core of the experience. Its combat stands out as one of the game's strongest elements, thanks to the seamless integration of shooting and real-time hacking, keeping tension high and encounters both dynamic and strategic throughout. The artistic direction and presentation are equally convincing, particularly in the first half, but it is the gradual development of Hugh and Diana's bond that truly drives the narrative and gives it emotional weight, even as the story begins to lose coherence later on. Despite some limitations that become more noticeable over time, especially in level design, narrative progression, and a slightly underwhelming overall length, the game remains a solid and enjoyable experience: easy to recommend to fans of linear, character-driven adventures.

Tunic manages to take something (obviously on a smaller scale) from Zelda, Dark Souls and Death's Door, resulting in a challenging and fascinating action-adventure even if it lacks any truly original ideas.

A new, great episode for this great series. At first you will feel the downside in terms of graphics, but that's the only "issue" with this version of Smash Bros.

DMC is a really nice game as well as the QLOC PC porting. Significant visual impact, flawless optimization, good performances even with medium-low hardware configurations. It's a game that takes some distance from the previous installments of the saga and the white-haired Dante no longer exists, but is it really a problem?

Not only Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster is the best collection so far, but it gives you the chance to play in the best possible way one of the finest JRPGs ever made. Every fan should go back to Zanarkand and fight once more with Tidus and Yuna.

Shovel Knight feels and plays alright, but it's far from perfection. It's an ode to Mega Man, a bow to the 8 bit era, but it plays it safe, too safe. Infinite lives and a too many checkpoints are the major flaws. And, from the technical point of view, the lack of colors sometimes is really sad.

Smokey rooms, smooth jazz and a man with a briefcase: FRAMED has all the components of a noir story shuffled in a really smart puzzle game.

PES 2017 keeps doing what PES has been doing really well in the latest years: it's a joy to play and to watch, but it needs some new features.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is a solid sequel, but without the surprise factor of its predecessor, the end result isn't quite as compelling.

Unfortunately, Oceanhorn is not the Zelda of smartphones, but just a sufficient adventure game, unable to grant a solid gameplay and a compelling story. It's great to look, that's for sure, but not so fun to play.

Assetto Corsa is a shining masterpiece of virtual motorsport, a new standard for the future of driving simulators and an all-Italian pride.

Featuring an undeniable retro charm, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana certainly doesn't stand out for the graphics. On the other hand, the gameplay is fun, frenetic and framed by a pleasing and multifaceted narrative. A title strongly recommended to old-school RPG action fans.

In this frightening and ruthless Japan, filled with all kind of monstrosity, there’s no room for mistakes. Sure, Nioh 2 is hard, but it also gives one of the deepest combat systems ever seen in a souls-like, and the wildest bunch of enemies to cut down.

Despite its compromises, The Witcher 3 is still a breathtaking adventure and the best RPG for Nintendo Switch till now.
