An highly imaginative and varied first person adventure, with vivid and rich worlds and brilliant puzzles, only dragged down by some technical issues and a couple of bad design choices.

Hitman 3 delivers a very good stealth game which gives complete freedom to the players in expansive and beautiful environments. It unluckily doesn't look as developed in storytelling, and it feels a bit short on content with only 6 environments, though. All in all, a game every stealth lover will surely appreciate.

A unique and very revealing game, something capable of totally immersing us in the songs we'll be playing.

A good step forward for Konami's series, with a solid gameplay and finally a better control over players. To be a really great soccer game it still misses too many official licenses, though.

Football Manager 2023 adds many improvements to an already proven formula, delivering richer and more varied matches with deeper AI and team management. Too bad for the obsolete graphics during matches, in need of deep enhancement.

Witty and self-aware, Revenge of the Savage Planet is a fun, breezy sequel ideal for co-op play. Some bugs remain, but its charm and humor make it well worth checking out.

A little gem full of brilliant puzzles, with a fascinating storytelling and a great soundtrack. It only slightly disappoints in the gameplay department, with somewhat imprecise controls that might become a problem in the most difficult and critical sections. Despite this, it's undoubtedly a game anyone should try.

This current-gen version of NBA 2K21 definitely feels like a transitory episode of the game, with welcome improvements to MyTEAM, career and shooting mechanic, but without any other meaningful changes to the game's formula over last year.

Yet another step forward for the LEGO games, with new gameplay elements and a great cast of characters that help it to stay on top of TT Games' line-up. Nonetheless, the series starts to look a little bit tired and in need of important changes and improvements.

A captivating interactive movie, with great production values and a good cast of actors, even if with some technical imperfections like casual video stutters and audio desyncs. It's hard to evaluate it as a real video game, but as an interactive movie it's definitely worth one or more runs.

A very promising game, with great art style and a captivating asymmetric multiplayer gameplay. Our only reserve is about the game's variety: the 5 maps available with the free Prologue and the first campaign episode aren't enough to keep gamers playing over and over, so a constant release of new episodes, even after the first season, will be very important.

A great game to discover (or rediscover) Yoko Taro's world and the atmosphere of the NieR series. The remake work is not among the best and certainly some choices are questionable, such as keeping the tedious fetch quests, but it remains an exciting and valuable epic and that's why it's a recommended game to play.

A deeply customizable driving experience, good technical production values and some welcome additions like endurance races and dynamic weather and day/night cycle make RIDE 4 one of the best moto racers around, even if some flaws and a reduced bikes list keep it from reaching higher spots.

The Ascent is a solid and fun action-RPG, capable of providing many hours of fun thanks to well-paced gameplay and powerful and inspired graphics. Too bad for some flaws such as the poorly executed cooperative mode, annoying bugs and the lack of Italian localization, which prevent the first job of Neon Giant to shine as it deserves.

Sonic Superstars represents a new return to Sonic's roots, with plenty of frenzy and speed, attractive graphics, adequate sound and of course the 2D feel that has accompanied the blue hedgehog so much throughout his career. Two jarring notes: the overly confused co-op and a longevity that is not top-notch for a game sold at full price.

RIDE manages to catch all the magic of riding street supersport bikes both in suggestive city/country locations and in circuits, with a good mix of bikes, environments and gameplay variations. It could have used more polish and care, but Milestone can't obviously count on the same super-budgets of big publishers.

Risen manages to be, especially thanks to its gameplay and story, an involving and exciting RPG guaranteeing may hours of entertainment. Suggested to all the fans of classic RPGs, while all the others should prepare for some hours of difficulties and frustration before seeing it shine.

Without introducing particularly innovative elements, Swordfish Studios managed to ably mix and leverage already successful and well-known gameplay elements, delivering us a very entertaining dense hip hop style.

Ziggurat mixes fantasy FPS, RPG and roguelike elements in a successful original mix. A very interesting title that will undoubtedly entertain the more nostalgic gamers.

Two Point Hospital is a worthy successor to Bullfrog's Theme Hospital, with great playability on console controllers, high variety and a nice touch of British humour. It offers a soft and linear learning curve to newcomers of the genre, managing to offer a good challenge to veterans too. We would have liked a deeper economic simulation and better online support, but it's definitely a pleasure to play.

Another brilliant LEGO Marvel mix-up, with totally crazy characters and an immediate and fun gameplay. An instant hit for the whole family.

The Cave reminds us why adventures like Monkey Island and Zak McKracken were so loved: even if offering a much more essential experience, Ron Gilbert’s irony and creativity are all still there. It fumbles on the weird co-op implementation and some frustrating moments, but it surely deserves to be played.

Watch Dogs Legion keeps the series' base mechanics while enhancing the whole formula thanks to the higher gameplay and tactical variety provided by the huge choice of agents available. This has the downside of making every character pretty forgettable though, keeping us from establishing an emotional bond with any of them.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a pleasing and visually excellent puzzle adventure, with plenty of variety and a satisfying longevity. The developers could have pushed harder on the puzzles difficulty, but it still feels compelling and rewarding.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox leverages a charming setting to introduce an interesting Metroidvania gameplay, full of puzzles and a bit light on action and difficulty.

Soulstice combines a fascinating setting, two well-characterized protagonists, an engaging storyline and a gameplay that, albeit with a few smears, is capable of providing many hours of fun. It's not a perfect game, with the troublesome camera handling as its major flaw, but it's still a game that every lover of third-person action games should consider.

LEGO 2K Drive is a colourful, fun and light title, as well as a pleasant surprise. It's not a perfect game or one with great competitive pretensions, but it allows us to spend several carefree hours in numerous activities. Recommended for a young audience as well as a more experienced one, especially for social evenings thanks to the local multiplayer.

Marathon is a carefully crafted extraction shooter: Bungie uses all its artistic and technical expertise to deliver an intense, brutal, and challenging experience, with a frantic and highly competitive gameplay supported by a unique artistic direction. Its uncompromising difficulty and punishing endgame might not be for everyone, but it remains a fascinating and rewarding journey for anyone willing to brave the harsh world of Tau Ceti IV.

Broken Sword 5 presents us with an enthralling story supported by good 2D graphics and well-thought-out console controls, at a very good price point. All point-and-click adventures lovers should give it a chance.

Super Mega Baseball 3 is a welcome improvement to the series, keeping its mix of arcadey look to a more serious game simulation, and with good additions like the "management-lite" Franchise mode, Traits and several improvements to base-running and catchers fielding. Definitely a game to have for lovers of this sport.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is a high-quality action-RPG that blends metroidvania and souls-like elements with impressive cohesion. Strong exploration, deep combat, and standout presentation give it a clear identity, despite some repetitiveness and a less-than-polished launch. Packed with secrets, side quests, and optional bosses, it's a rewarding experience for fans of the genre - and for anyone seeking a fresh challenge.

On the multiplayer side, Hardline provides a solid and very compelling, even if highly BF4-like, experience, with some very entertaining new modes; the single player campaign resulted in a satisfying experience too, but we would have liked proper, full-blown stealth gameplay, rather than the unconvincing mix Visceral presented us.

Far Cry: Primal adds some interesting and more survival-oriented new mechanics to the usual franchise formula, but the main storyline revealed itself to be quite dull while the environments and gameplay result in a bit too repetitive experience. It remains however an advised buy to open world games lovers, despite its flaws.

Resident Evil 3 is a good remake with a brilliant technical production and a compelling story, but it feels a bit too linear and with too few puzzles, ending up in a limited longevity. The multiplayer experience doesn't help much too, as it suffers too many issues of youth. All in all a good experience, but far from its predecessor's splendor.

A very immediate and entertaining game, expecially if played with friends. Its only flaw is in the too-few available circuits, only six.

Vatra Games managed in bringing back the great feeling and gameplay balance of the first games in the series, delivering us a real survival horror in a time when every game seems to prefer the action route. It's not perfect, but definitely a big step in the right direction for Konami's franchise.

A very distinct FPS, meant for living a realistic co-op war experience in open environments. It isn't perfect however, mainly in single player due to the lacking allied AI.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered allows us to get our hands on two gems from the past, embellished with numerous technical and content enhancements that are cleverly amalgamated and in no way distort the original work. The most demanding gamers will have to turn a blind eye to some of the mechanics stemming from the years when the two games were conceived, but they remain two video game milestones to be tried without hesitation.

Even if lacking a plot capable of sparking the player's interest, Mad Max managed to keep us entertained for tens of hours thanks to its vast world rich of opportunities. A solid game, worth a try for all fans of the movie series.

With a stronger narrative compartment it could have aimed for higher heights, but even so it stands as a title that FPS lovers should not miss.

Snooker 19 manages to successfully reproduce this British variation of one of the most loved sports, with a high level of fidelity both in the simulation and presentation areas. Recommended to all lovers of cue sports.

A surprising game: a dirty, gritty travel through human moral and psyche. An experience worth trying, even if plagued by small technical and gameplay problems.

A game with a very strong personality and two great main characters, reminiscent of some Rodriguez movies. It sports a solid and varied gameplay, but it could have been much better if it was tweaked to deliver more tension and fear to the player; moreover, eight hours for a playthrough without any incentives to replayability aren't enough. Notwithstanding, it remains a very good game for action-horror lovers.

A very good game concept by Disney, with a great potential but with a rough start due to some bugs and a quite repetitive Play Set gameplay. Children and Disney fans will love it though.

A Juggler's Tale takes inspiration from classics like Limbo and INSIDE while adding the concept of puppet strings, resulting not only in never-before-seen gameplay situations but also a memorable, deep and emotional storyline.

Ready or Not is one of 2025’s most surprising and rewarding shooters - especially for those craving the tactical edge long missing from console FPS. Tense, difficult, and deeply satisfying, it delivers high-stakes realism both solo and in multiplayer. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you’re ready for the pressure, the intensity becomes part of the thrill.

Riders Republic is a solid sports game, graphically satisfying and with all the right cards to give you many hours of fun thanks to an accessible control system, many customization options and a wide variety of events. It's not perfect and it will need some updates, but it's undoubtedly the best extreme sports game available today.

Little Nightmares III is a captivating adventure that honors the series’ roots while introducing fresh characters, a new setting, and a multiplayer mode. Its atmosphere and layered storytelling keep players engaged throughout, though short length, low replay value, and a limited co-op mode hold it back. Despite this, it stands as a worthy successor and a must-play for genre fans.

An hilarious game for lovers of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies, with lots of references and officially licensed music. The gameplay might be a bit on the basic side, but it's definitely a suggested buy for lovers of the two Italian actors.

A demanding and unforgiving racing experience, without any bells and whistles or facilitation for inexperienced gamers, separate Assetto Corsa from any other competitor on console. Experienced racing lovers will be able to fully enjoy it, while more casual and less patient gamers should look elsewhere.

A very good and solid game, capable of perfectly blending its action and RPG souls and with good visuals and level design. Our major complaint is about it trying to get more of our money than other standard XBLA games, with an insidious pricing model and in-game currency packs: this could create some confusion in the players.

Jusant is a gem to see and play; coherent, delicate, thoughtful. The splendid art direction, coupled with a fascinating and magnetic world building, clashes with a limited gameplay layering and a short overall length, but if you love narrative adventures and poetic and inspired game worlds, you will definitely want to play it.

A good Sonic game, enteraining and fresh, with great 2D levels and a not so great 3D ones. Suggested to every fan of SEGA's hedgehog.

An engaging and immediate future sport simulation, suited to lovers of team play online games.

An unique experience with mountains of puzzles to solve, a great look and an intangible mystery to discover, but lacking on the storytelling side and with a sometimes unbalanced difficulty progression.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is overall a good game, with the best gameplay over the last 3 chapters thanks to a fluid and frenetic multiplayer and a good Zombie mode. A discordant note is an uninvolving and slightly shorter campaign, but it remains the CoD with the best multiplayer in recent years, and this simply cannot be ignored.

Who played the first game will find in Overlord II the same irreverent and ironic spirit, coupled with greatly improved visuals capable of showing us beautiful, lush and evocative sceneries. On the other hand, we find a not so varied gameplay, in the long run repetitive. The new elements are interesting, but they aren't enough to suggest it to anyone: due to its atypical structure, we suggest to try it before opting to buy.

We Were Here Forever is the most ambitious and most successful title in the co-op puzzle series, capable of delivering a one-of-a-kind cooperative experience thanks to a long series of puzzles perfectly integrated within the story. Too bad about the absence of the Buddy Pass, which would have allowed two friends to play together without having to buy the game twice.

Even if visually not completely satisfying, L.A. Noire is still a captivating detective story with great acting. There's no reason to get if if you played the original game, but if you didn't and love narrative experiences, it'll surely be pleasing.

Deck13 reinterprets the Souls-like genre with a deep and original combat system and more gamer-friendly structure and story. This doesn't save The Surge from its dose of frustrating and repetitive action, though, but it's definitely a ride worth the effort.

South of Midnight is a fascinating journey into the magic of the Deep South, among beautiful scenery, strange characters and game mechanics that, while not inventing anything, are fun and engaging. The art department, both visual and audio, is phenomenal, while something could have been done to improve combat and the story pace, but it's nonetheless a game that all lovers of the action-adventure genre should try.

Coming back to Sera has been a real pleasure: Gears of War: Ultimate Edition reminds us of how good (and still relevant) was its game and level design.

A pleasant surprise, Hue delivers a relaxing experience among color-based puzzles and a charismatic world.

Neon Chrome sports a great and deep mix of twin-stick shooter and roguelike mechanics, with a satisfying sense of progression and good challenges. Its neon-like artistic design feels a bit overused and uninspired, but overall it's one of the best roguelike/shooter games around.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a well-packaged and spectacular third-person action game, with an excellent balance between melee confrontations and shootouts. The Campaign gameplay feels a bit bland with few memorable moments, but is redeemed by the excellent wealth of content in terms of online PvP and PvE modes. Highly recommended for fans of Warhammer 40K, an IP that here is exploited to great effect.

A huge and ambitious action-RPG game, a remarkable gem with great combat system and world design. Its downside are the old-gen looking graphics, but it's definitely recommended to action games lovers.

Cris Tales turned out to be a pleasant surprise, managing to impress us for originality and artistic style, as well as interesting gameplay mechanics. Even if it shows a certain inexperience in the general balance of pace and powers, with some of them too overpowered making it almost useless to look for different combinations, it still remains a great homage to classic turn-based JRPGs, so we can only recommend everyone to give it a look.

Samurai Shodown brings back one of the most challenging fighters ever, making it a bit more accessible but not easier. Lovers of tactical fighting games will love it, but it would have benefited from more contents.

One of the best Worms games from the last few years, thanks to old school gameplay coupled with good additions capable of deepening it even more. We're still missing a complete levels editor, hoping it will be added later.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is a good and entertaining Arcade game, especially if played in local co-op. Too bad the game doesn't support (yet, at least) online co-op too.

Uber Entertainment did a good job on creating Monday Night Combat, wisely mixing many of the best elements of online multiplayer shooters and adding a strong co-op component. It's an entertaining and energetic game, and it'll be able to conquer every shooter fan.

A challenging psychedelic platformer, with a nice novelty in its platform generation mechanic and a great electro soundtrack.

Stylish and colorful, Schrödinger's Cat sports entertaining and original platform mechanics partially hindered by a somewhat imprecise control system.

Dying Light: The Beast marks a welcome return to the series’ roots, highlighting fluid parkour, brutal combat, and the fresh addition of “beast” powers. While dated mission design, forced grinding, lack of fast travel, and a weak narrative hold it back, the game remains content-rich and highly enjoyable, proving the Dying Light formula is still thrilling and remarkably effective today.

One of the best Xbox One launch exclusives and a great fighting game, with a very good combat system and probably the best tutorial section ever seen in the genre. Our only complaints are about the thin characters line-up and the absence of a classic Arcade mode.

No Man's Sky is a giant leap from the game's early days, and it comes on Xbox One in its best form, with lots of activities and variety. It's still got wide margins of improvement though, especially in the multiplayer and technical areas, but if there's something Hello Games proved so far, it's their strong commitment to improve the game post-launch.

One of the best Xbox One indie games so far, with a great base idea and an addicting gameplay. Too bad its duration is a bit on the short side, but if you like Contra-style shooters, you'll love it.

A great toys idea and, quite surprisingly, a solid and entertaining game, with very nice characters and level design. A good gift for kids.

Planet Coaster: Console Edition is definitely the best theme park management game around, with a great porting from the PC version and a very solid gameplay. We would have liked a meatier Career mode, but its Sandbox mode can be very satisfying and it'll be able to entertain even newcomers to the genre.

An intimate and compelling story, with great characterization and environments. It brilliantly manages to represent a transgender character without falling in clichés and stereotypes, normalizing him and making him part of a wider, intense drama. We would have liked more varied gameplay and interactivity though, as the experience is mainly limited to basic exploration, object interaction and dialogue.

NBA Live 19 shows further improvements for the series with a more simulative gameplay, a great overall NBA feeling thanks to realistic graphics and the ESPN license, and the welcome return of the WNBA license. The One is the crown jewel mode for the series, but EA still has to work hard to improve its Franchise mode and some ball physics. All in all, a definitely suggested game for NBA lovers.
