Not a bad sequel, but the first chapter is still better.

Original, beautifully looking, bur a bit on the short side, Tengami is a nice port of a mobile game.

A simple, nice and fun platform game. It's a bit on the easy side, but that encourages exploration, at least.

Rage 2 is a pleasure to play if you like to shoot and destroy things, but don't ask for much more in terms of gameplay… you would be disappointed.

Serious Sam 4 keeps its promises and turns out to be a more than average old-fashioned shooter, but don’t expect a great deal of innovation, variety or excellent graphics.

The third chapter of the series brings a breath of fresh air to a formula that risks to bore, without twisting its essence.

A decent remake of a great classic. Outcast: Second Contact could have been more ambitious, but it's a good opportunity for new players to love the world and the exploration of Adelpha.

With its puzzle and discovery mechanics Haunted Manor 2 is definitely interesting for lovers of adventure genre, but it’s simply not good enough to please everyone. It’s still a well crafted game though.

Madden NFL 23 is not the definitive football experience, but it is a substantial step up from the last edition thanks to the new gameplay features implemented by FieldSENSE. The general improvements are noticeable but not so revolutionary, while the graphical imperfections and the problems with the artificial intelligence continue to represent the Achilles heel of the franchise.

A fun and lighthearted spin-off, recommended for all Dragon Quest fans.

As always, Ride is a good starting point for Milestone, an encouraging debut for a new IP, with a solid foundation from which (re)starting, but also other aspects to be improved in the future. Definitely worth buying if you're a motorbike enthusiast.

A good management game, empowered by a very unique comedic sci-fi setting. Campaign isn't the greatest and a little bit more content would have been great, but all in all a nice return for the classic 2001 Startopia.

A good game, but already seen on 3DS five years ago, plus an even better one, but too short.

Daedalic's take on tactical combat is unique and refreshing, making for a robust gameplay that is also enriched by an interesting setting inspired by Finnish folklore.

The Medium is an artistically inspired and technically interesting horror game, almost entirely based on narrative. With a slow pace and a few really interesting puzzles, the game focuses on the evil atmosphere of the double world. Those who expected a broader adventure may be disappointed.

The legendary RTS milestone comes back with a new look and an updated gameplay, but with some old mechanics and too much crashes, freezes and unstable frame rate, it can't be still a masterpiece.

Anthem is an imperfect and evolving game, but if you are looking for a rewarding experience in terms of gunplay, fighting and settings, you will hardly be disappointed.

In Just Cause 4 you will have fun making things explode and exploring the map in the most different ways, but don’t expect a great depth of play.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is a farming simulator that doesn't dare much but that offers all the elements of the genre with the right expertise. Don't expect particularly deep gameplay though.

A decent reproposition of what still is a milestone in its genre. It's got a couple of new ideas that will not blow your mind but do make it fresher. The touch interface is well implemented but not perfect.

Cris Tales is carried along by a good story and an extraordinary art direction that tell of heroic acts, self-acceptance, courage, revolutions and hopes in a "fairytale about time". His non-linear tale is based on a classic JRPG gameplay but it's able to present itself with its own clear and distinct personality, unique mechanics and good ideas, trying to give depth to the combat system. Unfortunately these possibilities do not match well with the lack of strategic situations and the very high frequency of random encounters does not help to make the most banal encounters less unpleasant. Cris Tales remains a well done game, but could have offered much more.

On PS4 Pro RedOut is a great, rich and frantic racing game. On the other hand, on a standard PS4 or on Xbox One there are some annoying frame rate issues.

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed CrewIn are two valuable additions to a game that was already very nice and compelling in its own right. New content that may not radically re-announce the gameplay, but still has all the necessary ingredients to please Shadow Gambit fans, who will enjoy returning to the Caribbean in search of new adventures.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure Pack is an interesting package especially if you love music games. Clearly the chapter already published on Nintendo Switch and the ideal choice in case you want to start with this saga. However, the two titles collected in the collection are perfectly in line with the hilarious atmosphere well known to those who love the saga. Although the two campaign modes are not exactly the best of freshness and rhythm, their inclusion is one more reason to linger among the joyful notes of this irresistible rhythm game. A certain homologation of the two interfaces makes the two games all too similar, and overall a bit anonymous. Luckily, with perfect controls in each mode and a proven gameplay, the game remains an excellent choice for lovers of the genre.

A JRPG that's not so inspired and too repetitive, but brings with it plenty of things to do and is perfect for Fairy Tail fans.

Same classic Inazuma Eleven gameplay mixed with lots of narrative twists.

A very short full game, yet a super-satisfying prologue: don't look for the full body of The Phantom Pain in Ground Zeroes, you will find only its promising ghost structure.

It is always said that games must be judged for what they are and not for what we would like them to be: Star Renegade is a strange mix of strategy and jrpg, all under the umbrella of the roguelite-genre that ends up delimiting, and partly limiting, all the best aspects of the game. I could not stop thinking, at each run, that a normal campaign, even a short one, would have benefited the pace of the game and could make all the mechanics make it shine at their best.
