Crimson Desert is a massive and ambitious project defined by its extremes: it presents itself as a vast open-world game that incorporates the greatest modern gaming achievements, yet it suffers from a fragmented identity, shoddy storytelling, and an overwhelming abundance of content that stifles its original spirit. Nevertheless, it’s an adventure that’s well worth your attention, poised to improve steadily through dedicated post-launch support.

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

Undoubtedly the best wrestling game this gen, thanks to its great signature gameplay and the new physics management engine.

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.

Prototype revealed itself to be an extremely solid game, capable of satisfying whoever's looking looking for massive doses of superhuman violence. The only letdown is its dull visuals, but if you aren't specifically looking for a graphical masterwork, you'll find it very entertaining.

A great, entertaining and content-filled rhythm game, with lots of modes and customization options for any kind of gamer.

Alien: Isolation embraces Ridley Scott's original vision, delivering us a claustrophobic survival horror experience with a good stealth side. Unmissable for every Alien and sci-fi horror lover.

Horizon Chase Turbo manages to successfully bring back the 80s arcade racer feelings, with a nice visual style and a great sense of speed. We feel the lack of some more modern elements on top of this formula, though.

The Quarry is undoubtedly the best work yet by Supermassive Games, both in terms of gameplay and of plot ramifications and technical department. An enthralling experience that knows how to keep the fans of the genre happy, even if it suffers from a not so bold plot (especially on the horror side) and the temporary absence of an online multiplayer component. Yet, it's a title that every fan should consider for their collection.

Frontier Developments has incrementally improved an already good and original product, with more realistic graphics, high accuracy in circuit reproduction, new features and most importantly tangible improvements in the overall balance of the gaming experience. Undoubtedly a title not to be missed if you are an all-around F1 fan.

Apart from being an excellent first-person adventure, Road 96 is an overwhelming experience and an emotional dive into the '90s, with their music and style. As you stand on the side of the road, fantasizing about a better future, you'll wish that journey never ends.

Football Manager 2021 Xbox Edition is a great management sim, with a very high customization level, a huge database and a very effective porting to console controls. Definitely, a must-have for any real football lover.

The Surge 2 brings us an improved combat system with a satisfying crafting and upgrading mechanic. Too bad such care wasn't given to graphics, art and storytelling, keeping it from reaching higher qualitative grounds.

The new character creation element, with its high variety of loot to discover, is a welcome addition to the classical Skylanders formula adding more depth to an even stronger gameplay element. A very enjoyable game for both kids and grown ups.

FIFA 22 introduces welcome new features such as the Hypermotion technology, a more balanced gameplay and improvements in several modes, but it fails to get rid of some historical flaws that now clash more with the improvements received. The result is, as always, a football title of the highest caliber, both on the technical front and in terms of pure fun, but we start to feel the need for a more marked change of pace to really push the saga into the new generation.

Shadow Warrior 2 is bigger, funnier, deeper and nutter than the previous game, thanks to its RPG component and more open environments. It still feels rough on the edges though, due to an inconsistent frame-rate and too bullet-spongy high level enemies that make us forget any strategy in favor of overly long shooting sessions. All in all, however a definitely suggested buy for '90s style FPS lovers.

Invincible VS brings Robert Kirkman's world into a video game and brings attention back to the 3vs3 fighting game genre. Battles are frantic, extremely violent, and make good use of tag mechanics with accessible controls. Unfortunately, balancing issues and a severe lack of single-player content with a disappointingly short Story mode, hold the game back. It is a recommended purchase only for hardcore fans of the series or genre.

A fascinating mix of several genres, from RPG to tower defense to managerial, with a charming 8-bit visual style and good gameplay. More variety and a less random difficulty could have helped it, but it's however a deep and original roguelike experience.

Yonder features a nice and colorful open world, with good crafting and exploration mechanics. This begins to get boring after a couple of hours tho, mainly due to lack of a real sense of progression and a very light narration.

Candleman delivers an highly charismatic and atmospheric adventure with striking visuals and a compelling gameplay, only occasionally hindered by its fixed camera. A surprising puzzle-platfomer that any lover of this genre should play.

An emotional and magical adventure, with great visuals and charmingly believable characters. We'd wanted it to endure longer and sometimes would have liked to run instead of slowly walking, but really loved the overall experience.

This new adventure re-uses the same well known gameplay seen in every Telltale game, while adding an interesting new point of view to TWD universe with the introduction of the new main character, Jarvis. All in all these first two episodes represent a good start in an interesting storyline: if you liked the previous games, you won't be disappointed.

Battlefield V manages the series' formula in many aspects, offering us one of the most entertaining multiplayer FPS experiences to date. On the other hand, though, it feels a bit underdeveloped with an overly short and somewhat dull single-player campaign and an overall lack of contents. It will definitely be a better and richer game in some months, when more content will have been delivered.

EA takes a cautious step toward evolving the FC series, delivering a high-quality football game with solid mechanics, deep customization, and strong content. However, persistent legacy issues, limited innovation, and questionable choices - like the season pass and offline-only new mode - hold it back. Still, it’s immensely fun and engaging for fans of EA’s football.

An intriguing souls-like action-RPG, with a unique style thanks to great art and a satisfying storytelling. Its online co-op component doesn't fully work though, mainly due to people going their own way instead of willing to help.

Haven tells a tale of love and freedom in an intriguing alien world, beautifully depicted and sided by a great electro soundtrack. A game to try, even if you'll need some patience to move past the first, too slow, couple of hours.

WWE 2K22 brings new life and dignity to a beloved franchise, letting us forget the previous episode's misstep. The new graphics engine, the almost fully recreated gameplay, the richness of the offer and the general atmosphere that is felt in the game, overshadow the small imperfections still needing work to be done. Visual Concepts deserves our applause as a studio finally worthy of bringing forth the future of WWE's franchise.

With substantial changes in appearance, modes, and gameplay, PGA Tour 2K25 introduces major improvements over its predecessor. A big step in the right direction for the series, to aspire to become the ultimate golf simulator.
