    Despite its many obvious technical limitations, Phasmophobia is highly recommended for those who love horror and have the opportunity to play it with a group of friends, thanks to still innovative gameplay and a total sense of immersion.

    The Old Blood keeps all The New Order features putting us in a new and more supernatural-oriented story. A good game for the ones who, like us, liked the previous one.

    Darwin’s Paradox is a charming 2.5D action-platformer capable of offering pleasing visuals, brilliant level design, and varied gameplay. Darwin’s adventure is entertaining and driven by clever mechanics and humor, even if occasional frustration arises from trial-and-error sections and imprecise underwater controls. Despite this, it remains a solid and entertaining platformer well worth playing.

    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.

    With tons of contents, an high character customization level and an hilarious geeky humor, UnEpic proves to be a solid and entertaining RPG, unluckily dragged down by nasty trial-and-error sections and complete lack of multiplayer, present on PC.

    A visually pleasing open world 2D platformer, with vivid hand-drawn graphics and a rich and alive world. We would have liked more varied and compelling gameplay, though.

    Dragon's Dogma introduces some very clever ideas to the RPG genre, but they aren't supported by strong enough story, artistic design and technical production. What we've got are some very good missions with highly satisfying combat, spaced out by hours and hours of boring walks in similar-looking and pop-up-ridden lands, but for what it introduces it deserves to be played by RPG fans looking for something new.

    NFS Rivals presents some good ideas, with a good enemy AI and bright visuals, but it gets partially ruined by an unstable frame rate and a general sense of repetitiveness in the game structure.

    A solid RE episode, with a great porting job from the 3DS version and sporting a good balance between pure action and survival horror. If you're missing the older games in the series, this could please you.

    Lumini lacks in variety, challenge and longevity, but it makes up for it with a relaxing and fascinating side-scrolling experience, with nice gameplay mechanics and pleasant sceneries.

    This first taste of Hitman's new path offers us one of the best locations in the series, with lots of freedom and many environments to explore. A promising new start, even if the overall story is just barely hinted at; we'll have to wait for the next chapters to see if it's got a great plot too.

    The Persistence offers us an interesting roguelite FPS concept, but it fails in adapting the VR mechanics to the classic "flat screen" gameplay: it ends up in a too slow experience, with uninteresting combat and repetitive environments.

    Call of the Sea fascinates thanks to great environments and an intriguing story, helped by a good narrative and puzzle structure. Some puzzles feel a bit too cryptic and the story could have expanded more especially towards the final hours, but it's definitely a game to try and a successful debut for developer Out of the Blue.

    A very solid and good game, with a varied and satisfying gameplay and very original multiplayer options. It doesn't scare ad we would have liked, but it's a recommended buy for every fan of the series and FPS lovers in general.

    The new title from Squanch Games is extremely ambitious, attempting to expand the original formula in every aspect. However, it clashes with production issues, resulting in a rough and imperfect experience with a repetitive gameplay loop. What truly shines is the brilliant writing, absurd situations, and memorable characters. If you seek a flawless FPS, look elsewhere; but if you want a crazy, fun adventure, High on Life 2 remains a wonderfully flawed gem.

    Immediate, entertaining and fulfilling even for the most exacting players, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a very good alternative to Mario Kart on non-Nintendo consoles.

    An engaging co-op adventure, capable of providing a few hours of healthy fun thanks to a decent variety of situations and fun mini-games. Something more could definitely be done on the longevity front, but given the price and the presence of the Friend Pass, this is a flaw on which you can turn a blind eye if you are looking for an exciting and full of puzzles adventure with which to spend a couple of evenings with a friend.

    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.

    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.

    Star Wars: Battlefront reveals to be a very immediate and accessible multiplayer game, capable of excite both casual and hardcore gamers thanks also to a great visual fidelity to the Star Wars environments.

    Far Cry: New Dawn gets many elements from Far Cry 5 adding a more focused world and a good base management component, but it still feels much like its predecessor and with probably the mostly forgettable villains of the entire series. If you appreciated FC5 you'll like this one too, but it won't blow you away.

    Supreme Commander 2 could have been one of the best console RTSes around, but it fails due to a really substandard technical side. However if you can turn a blind eye on the shoddy visuals, you'll like the deep units management system, the very immediate and dynamic control system and the good online support.

    A decent racing game but we were expecting much more. It sports a very good Career mode but it gets hindered by a disappointing technical production and lackluster online multiplayer.

    A good remaster by Capcom, with enjoyable graphics and new modes and contents. If you never played the game or want to relive Chris and Sheva's adventures (including all DLCs), it won't disappoint you.

    A nice revival of 80's Zelda-like RPGs, with lots of content and engaging puzzles.

    The Mooseman offers us a fascinating setting with an interesting art style, but its slow gameplay made of trial and error sections and scattered with too many texts to read make it a not so engaging experience. If you're interested in ancient folklore and would like to explore finno-ugric myths, it could still be a worthwhile buy.

    Milestone manages to improve on the previous game with lots of contents, technical improvements and new modes. Too bad for the 30 fps frame-rate, a bit restrictive in a racing game; at least on Xbox One X we'd have liked the option to choose between resolution and performance.

    A charming and entertaining survival game, with some totally lovable tiny creatures and good and well balanced mechanics that will please newcomers to the genre too.

    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is more than just a remaster, with many new contents and meaningful gameplay improvements with more technical fights and the 60 fps frame rate. Too bad we can't say the same about its online multiplayer gameplay, which can feel almost unplayable due to the delay-based netcode. All in all, this would be an advised buy only if you're planning alone or in local multiplayer.

    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.
