    Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide is for Games Workshop's fantasy lovers what Left 4 Dead was for zombie games fans, with a solid multi-class co-op gameplay and a welcome character advancement system.

    A great game for every Hokuto no Ken fan, mixing a classical beat'em'up gameplay to the typical Dynasty Warriors mechanics.

    Digimon Story Time Stranger is a surprisingly deep JRPG. Its compelling story and complex, strategic gameplay are engaging, and raising Digimon is highly rewarding. Unfortunately, the game is held back by an outdated technical department, a result of its long development. However, it lays a solid foundation for the series' future and is a must-try for fans and JRPG lovers alike.

    EA Sports WRC offers engaging gameplay that manages to bring all the thrills of the rally world to the screen, with an in-depth Career and many other satisfying modes. Despite some technical limitations, it is recommended to Rally and Racing Games fans as a promising new start for the franchise.

    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.

    A bad remaster work with too few improvements over the last-gen original game, but a great JRPG nonetheless, with a compelling story and finally all the Japan-exclusive contents that western players couldn't see on Xbox 360.

    A pleasantly compelling game, with great art and that under the novelty of the dimension-shifting mechanics hides an old school platformer experience.

    A good remake, recommended to nostalgic players or the ones who could never play Rare's game, but we feel the price is a tad too high for a game of this kind.

    A very clever puzzle-platformer, with an unique visual style and highly challenging puzzles. It just lacks on the narrative/philosophical side, but it's definitely recommended to lovers of cerebral challenges.

    A very good console free-to-play experience, even for who wants to keep the experience completely free without recurring to microtransactions.

    A solid revamp of a genre highly missed on consoles. Frantic action, satisfying controls and a good sci-fi story make it a worthwhile buy for the lovers of space fighting sims.

    The Spectrum Retreat sports some very interesting and satisfying puzzles, but it fails in providing an intriguing story backdrop connecting them. Nonetheless, it's still one of the best first person puzzlers this gen, and it definitely deserves a go.

    With the introduction of FieldSENSE, Madden NFL 23 represents a turning point for the series, on next-generation consoles. A few technical smears still remain, and we hope they will be promptly fixed, but the homage to the great John Madden and the innovations in gameplay make it definitely recommended to all fans of this sport.

    GRIDD: Retroenhanced nails the retro-futuristic '80s sci-fi atmosphere, with gorgeous neon visuals and a great electro soundtrack. And the gameplay is very satisfying too, thanks to shoot 'em up mechanics that require us to think about when shooting at everything that moves or approaching enemies in other ways.

    Formula Legends is a pure, no-frills racing game - accessible yet deep enough to demand real skill. The lack of multiplayer limits longevity, but what’s here works beautifully. For Formula One enthusiasts, it’s nearly unmissable: despite lacking official licenses, it convincingly captures the spirit, history, and excitement of the world’s premier motorsport.

    With Silence Daedalic delivers a fascinating and visually stunning sequel to The Whispered World, but console gamers who didn't play the first game on PC will feel a bit lost, and the interface isn't too optimized for controller use too.

    Assassin's Creed Mirage represents a welcome throwback for the series to a dynamic and fascinating urban setting, providing a good amount of content and a welcome new focus on stealth components. What it lacks is a splash in graphical quality and greater depth at the narrative level (including the modern sections, which are completely absent here). The road taken, or rather retaken, is a good one, however, and we hope Ubisoft has further titles in development in this vein.

    This first episode for Dontnod's new series shows us a mature-themed teen drama with strong narration and some good ideas, even if still just touched on. A good first chapter worth a try for anyone who loves graphic adventures like the Telltale ones, which major downside is the complete lack of any Italian localization for non-English speaking gamers.

    NHL 24 represents a welcome step forward for the series, with new offensive and defensive game dynamics that raise the simulation level of the series, an excellent implementation of cross-play support, and a very satisfying HUT mode that can be enjoyed even by those who don't want to spend extra money.

    A good new beginning for the UFC series in its new EA Sports home. It surely could benefit some improvements in the career mode, but it results however in a solid game that every lover of this genre could be willing to try.

    Tropico 3 is a deep, complex and though game, packaged in a very good technical realization and catchy music. Missions are much varied and never boring, but they get sometimes ruined by the complex and unclear menus. If you like managerial games, this is surely a suggested game.

    A fun and captivating arcade variation to the more serious WWE 2K annual series, with entertaining gameplay and a solid fighters roster. It might lack a bit in variety, but it'll surely please wrestling lovers.

    Q.U.B.E. 2 improves on the first game in every aspect delivering gorgeous graphics, a more complex plot and more varied gameplay. Its puzzles, though, still stay mostly on the easy side limiting it to a 3-hour experience.

    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.
