Ode is a good mix of music, platform and poetry.

Vesper is a little gem. On an old-fashioned (but functional) gameplay Cordens Interactive builds a work of art with great authorial value. Simple but effective puzzles and a well-constructed environmental storytelling pair with stunning art design and great sound design. Sadly stealth and puzzles are both a little too simple: it never deepens its mechanics. Knowing you don't have to expect a challenging game, it's one of the few, beautiful, Italian productions. And that's enough. Highly recommended.

Not the best in the series but still fun and engaging, that comes with a few new gameplay modes, two civilizations and restored graphics.

Nihilumbra, mixing action and cleverness, is unable to create a perfect balance between the two souls and the result it's a sort of disappointment. The lack of rhythm, nefarious puzzles related to the second campaign and the intrusive narrator's voice are the game's most aggravating flaws.

Tell Me Why is a good game but some flaws in the plot make the story a little too confusing and uninvolving in the end.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is a heartfelt and massive tribute to the 20th anniversary of Geo Stelar's journey. While the newly added voice acting, the rich virtual museum, and the modern QoL features are fantastic additions, the surgical preservation of the original code brings along severely outdated design choices. The tedious backtracking, unskippable animations, and a clunky one-at-a-time quest system hold the experience back from true greatness. Still, beneath the anachronistic flaws lies a deeply emotional story and a genuinely addictive combat system. A solid, if slightly flawed, return to the Wave World.

The game flexes all the muscles with the excellent use of Unreal Engine 5 but is undermined by obsolete tricks to create tension.

A small, simple, smart and very well made game, perfect for portable gaming, with a really nice atmosphere and good longevity. Nothing particularly new, though.

A peculiar visual novel, which represents the most mature work made by DON'T NOD.

Boltgun is not the most original game, even among boomer shooters, but it's still plenty of fun and its relative simplicity can work to its favor more often than not. Shooting the hordes of chaos has never been this fun.

No More Heroes 3 is rough, imperfect, sometimes even unpolished, but also artistically insane and spirited and has great gameplay.

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.

Nuka world, as last expansion for the Bethesda's post-apocalyptic world, adds a huge world that will satiate those are still looking for some radioactive soil.

Shenmue is still a niche game, now as it was then. It's the primordial soup of the modern games for gameplay and storytelling, but it still has the charm and magic of yore, delivered with high-level art direction.

Observation has its flaws (mainly in the technical side), but is a great example of how videogames can come up with new ways of telling stories.

You have a first world war setting (somewhat, it's 1920) and giant mechs to destroy everything with. Do you need anything else?

A good multiplayer experience, which still needs some refinement and which goes a little too far in penalizing solo players.

Black Future '88 is a good roguelike game that lacks in a compelling story, but shines thanks to a great cyberpunk atmosphere and an awesome chiptune soundtrack.

A nice way to celebrate an all-time classic, Super Mario Bros. 35 successfully implements some kind of battle royale using a very familiar gameplay.

Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse is a great point&click adventure, an heir worthy of the first two original games from Revolution Software.

Revelations 2 is a low-budget and accordingly priced game that does nothing really new, but it proves to be an enjoyable and classic styled entry in the series.

An anomalous metroidvania in the intent as traditional in the realization. The creature's alien and brutal beauty is only partially supported by an equally good world to explore. It remains a fascinating title, made with care, that really lacks that extra flicker to excel.

Overall, a nice roguelike game for both single player and multiplayer experiences. It has some rough edges and does not shine under any specific aspect, yet it competent gameplay and lenghty adventure could keep you entertained for a long time.

Dead or Alive 5 Last Round brings DoA5's smooth gameplay to new generation consoles, with the addition of 1080p resolution and a stable 60fps frame rate.

Engaging and unique, but with a lot of issues both on the design and the technical side. It deserves your attention but it could have been so much better.

This is a competent PlayStation 4 port for a very good game.

A carefully packaged remake, visually very beautiful, respectful of the original. It touches your heart as it shatters your bones. With a sadistic smile. For everyone, but not everyone: if you don't like extremely demanding games, and if you are not a super saiyan of run and guns, approach Ghosts' n Goblins Resurrection only if you have the humility to proceed step by step. Otherwise, well, that's not for you. I tell you, and especially your nerves tell you.

A very good 4 player co-op for a nice sequel to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. It doesn't last forever, but for the time you spend on it, it's pretty enjoyable.
