    Valentino Rossi: The Game proved to be a solid bikes racing game, with lots of content both regarding MotoGP's latest season and Valentino Rossi's entire career. It offers a rewarding driving model and lots of different modes drawing from the sport's latest 20 years. It slips on the technical side, though, and with the underwhelming car driving sections. Despite this, it's surely the best and most complete motorbike racing game today.

    Black Desert manages to surprise us with great features like its deep character editor and a very dynamic and varied combat system, with a rich world that's a pleasure to explore. On the other side, though, an overly complicated interface, some technical problems and a too repetitive mission structure keep it from reaching its full potential.

    A surprisingly valid and entertaining story, capable of casting a new light on Borderlands' world. Too bad for its technical problems like huge stutters and the complete absence of an Italian localization, even in subtitles.

    Rustler manages to entertain by replicating the style of play of the first top-down GTAs, but turning everything to a medieval setting. Some elements of the gameplay could have been more refined, but the Jutsu Games title shows that this formula can still work and entertain even today.

    Sky Force Anniversary merges an old school gameplay with rich and modern visuals, delivering a satisfying shooter even if with too much grinding, aggravated by too-simple game mechanics.

    An interesting FPS/roguelike hybrid, with a frantic and addictive gameplay and lots of contents. It's got some balancing issues and sometimes you feel luck counts more than skills, but for old school FPS lovers it's surely an advised buy.

    Sword of the Necromancer doesn't offer too original and memorable art, but it manages to surprise thanks to a very clever game design and an emotional story. A rogue-lite game to try.

    A great experience with fascinating and dreamlike environments and very satisfying Child of Eden-like gameplay. Too bad it all ends so early.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior isn't flawless, mainly due to a sub-par technical production and some mediocre run-and-gun shooting sections; nevertheless, the developers managed to bring us a very involving and atmospheric game, suited to everyone who has always been charmed by the sniper profession.

    Despite some design flaws, budget limitations, and insufficient localization, the great world-building work and physics-focused gameplay make Eternal Strands a game worth trying out, especially given its Game Pass inclusion; we wish for it to be a success, so to create the basis for more investment for a sequel that will be able to fulfill the great ambitions of the Yellow Brick Games team.

    A visually fascinating game, with a simple yet challenging gameplay and a great soundtrack. It might be a little bit too short for the price, but lovers of fast-paced action games should definitely give it a chance.

    Deliver Us The Moon is a fascinating and scientifically plausible sci-fi adventure, with a realistic space setting and quite varied gameplay where exploration and puzzles are alternated to many other mechanics. It's definitely a game to try for lovers of Gravity and Interstellar-like stories.

    A solid and humor-filled platformer 2D with lots of memorable moments and a good gameplay variety: definitely one to watch for lovers of the genre.

    Slipstream reproduces at its best many of the visual and gameplay elements that made games like Out Run unforgettable, offering also a remarkable amount of game modes. There are still some perplexities about the inconstant difficulty, but given the excellent price it is undoubtedly a title recommended to all lovers of retro driving games.

    tri-Ace managed to bring us a good game, but not exempt from defects like the bland plot and expressionless characters. Though we advise you to try it, mainly thanks to its very good combat system, one of the best we tried in a Japanese RPG.

    GreedFall is a valid, old school RPG with great mood and environments. With a satisfying story and setting, it just lacks in the technical department and for a not too impressive and a bit chaotic combat system. Lovers of old, BioWare-style RPGs should definitely give it a chance, though.

    Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom is a very interesting experiment that will please all the lovers of action and puzzles games with a good tactical depth thanks to the interaction possibilities between the two main characters. Too bad for the dated visuals, the frequent backtracking sections and pace drops in the gameplay.

    A satisfying twin stick and bullet hell shooter mix, with a great presentation and lots of content.

    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.

    Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is a unique, solid and satisfying experience, pushing the player into increasingly complex and rewarding challenges. It's not perfect and suited to everyone, and it has some major limitations, but it remains recommended for anyone eager for discovery and planning that seeks a vast, challenging but also relaxing experience.

    Xbox One was missing a Mario Kart-like game, and Beach Buggy Racing delivers just that with several modes, many vehicles and lots of power-ups. Too bad for the absence of any online modes.

    Massive Chalice nails the XCOM-like turn based combat mechanics, introducing an intriguing "genetic management" factor; although it lacks in depth and complexity, resulting in a little varied experience. Adding more hero classes, defense mechanics and maps verticality would have helped.

    A nice bike tricks game, with clean graphics and an immediate but deep gameplay. Lots of contents and a solid levels editor make it a worthy buy at a very good price.

    A good step forward for 2K's series, with solid gameplay improvements and very good commentating. We were underwhelmed by the Career mode and the lack of a Showcase mode.

    Cobalt provides a decent and original single player metroidvania experience, plus a frenzied and content-rich multiplayer. It lacks the spark to make it really memorable mainly due to its too generic design and the price feels a bit too high, but especially if you've got friends to play it with, you won't be disappointed.

    Off the Record feels too much as the previous game, and the new sandbox mode isn't really open like we would have liked. Advised only if you never played DR2.

    A more than welcome return to the classic 6 degrees of movement FPS, with great levels variety and a challenging roguelike structure. What keeps it from really shining is a too repetitive gameplay, with enemies and bosses always requiring the same combat routines.

    Mini Ninjas is clearly aimed to a public wanting to enjoy a game without many complications. The nice story and excellent art direction make it a very good game to be played in the family or with friends.

    A nice mix of TPS action and tower defense strategy with a classical 50s sci-fi setting. Its 4 players online co-op and depth of characters customization make it a worthy buy if you have people to play with.

    Samurai Warriors 5 is a good musou game characterized by all the classical aspects of the series and embellished by a new and very good cel shading anime-like look. It doesn't bring the genre forward and it won't do anything to attract new players, but is still one of the best mousous of recent years.
