A good action-RPG, with an absorbing story and a solid combat system. It lacks interesting side quests though, while showing a sub-par technical production. Lovers of the genre and vampire stories should definitely give it chance, however.

The only reason to buy this game could be to play it with friends, especially if they're casuals, seen the very immediate gameplay and simple controls. But due to a disappointing AI, a mediocre technical production and the lack of depth in the gameplay simulation, Virtua Tennis 2009 isn't recommended to hardcore virtual tennis players.

Don't be fooled by screenshots and videos: this isn't another Tetris clone by any stretch, but an original physics-based puzzler with Tetris-like blocks. Definitely entertaining if played with friends even if it lacks substance in the Xbox One-exclusive solo mode.

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.

A very interesting game but somewhat unrefined. Good environments and missions design isn't followed by a suitable storytelling, denying us a more deep immersion. It stays however a good flight combat sim, with a very solid and satisfying gameplay.

Bright Memory: Infinite is an interesting production primarily thanks to its combat system, which successfully mixes firearms, melee attacks and the use of powers, aided by an undoubtedly powerful visuals, albeit in a linear and static world. The rambling and quickly forgettable story and the extreme brevity of the experience, though, don't make it easily recommendable to everyone.

5 years later, KING Art's game still proves to be a brilliant adventure game, compelling, full of plot twists and with a great soundtrack. If you like adventure games and detective stories, this is a must buy.

Antigraviator is a good WipeOut-like racer, with a great driving feeling and high content variety. It feels a bit too much like a dejà vu though, without adding any meaningful new elements to the genre.

Raji: An Ancient Epic delivers a fascinating depiction of Indian art and culture, but it disappoints due to unrefined and sometimes frustrating gameplay and to a bit too many bugs and performance problems.

John Wick Hex tries to put us in the shoes of John Wick, but it succeeds partially in this: while the timeline-based gameplay is great to make us experience all the choices John faces every single second during a fight, we've got too few tactical options. The clunky animations don't help to reproduce the trademark fights choreographies, too.

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.

With well-calibrated gameplay and a truly evocative setting, The Valiant has the potential to find a second youth on consoles, succeeding in offering everyone the right level of challenge and achieving good results with a controller. Even if a bit repetitive and somewhat tiring, it's undoubtedly a convincing and addictive RTS.

NHL 26 marks a significant improvement over its predecessor, delivering a deeper and more realistic simulation. Thanks to the new ICE-Q 2.0 engine and the integration of real NHL data, gameplay feels more authentic. While minor technical issues persist, the revamped Be a Pro and richer online modes make it a must-have for hockey fans.

A very successful blend of management, base building and FPS mechanics, partly ruined by an unbalanced and frustrating rogue-like component.

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.

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. Some control issues and lack of clear mission progression keep it from reaching higher grounds, but lovers of the Metroidvania genre will find a rewarding and memorable experience in it.

A highly deep, varied and compelling survival game, but after two years in Game Preview this final version still feels like an early access game, with several technical problems and requesting gamers to pay for DLC even if it's now more than three times original price.

Super Mega Baseball 4 shows a great deal of work in terms of content and gameplay, with obvious repercussions in terms of greater cohesion between individual players and impact on team bonding, resulting in a rewarding experience even if with a somewhat steep learning curve.

Styx: Master of Shadows nails the stealth mechanics immersing us in a charming story and universe; too bad for its low budget production, resulting in disappointing graphics, A.I. and combat system.

Daymare 1998: Sandcastle has several good qualities; it is a clear homage to the classic survival horror games that made the history of our medium, but it loses itself in wanting to offer us a challenge that is way too difficult, almost punishing, ending up being excessively frustrating.

Bud Spencer & Terence Hill: Slaps And Beans 2 is a solid, fun and rewarding title as well as a true love letter to the two cult actors. If you're looking for a side-scrolling fighting game that will entertain you with pleasure, this one might just have all the credentials to win you over.

With Project Cars 3, Slightly Mad Studios delivers a more accessible and arcadey racing experience, increasing its playability for standard controller users and offering us one of the best racing game Career modes around. It's not perfect though, mainly due to an unbalanced upgrade system, lack of qualification sessions and mechanical damages and definitely improvable graphics.

Satisfying gameplay mechanics and excellent environments and sound design meet an unsound technical production, irritating and overly repetitive character dialogues and a lacklustre enemy AI. Stealth games lovers will still find good elements in the new Thief, but it isn't the triumphant return we'd hoped it would be.

Deadlight: Director's Cut fails to add enough replay reasons for people who already finished it in the past. But if you never played it, it still keeps its original values offering a compelling horror experience.

A conservative LEGO title, which keeps unchanged the franchise's pros and cons delivering us another story in Tolkien's universe. If your kids loved the movies, it's definitely a suggested game especially if you're looking forward to playing it with them.

An intriguing 2D platformer, with a minimalist look but an innovative gameplay mechanic and lots of challenging levels. A sure bet for any lover of skill-based platforming action.

Madden NFL 25 continues the path of growth and evolution that began with Edition 24, presenting itself as the best Madden ever. Thanks to Boom Tech physics simulation the action on the field is the best you've ever seen in an American football game, but enriched playbooks, new animations, lighting system and even improved UI also contribute.

An original and stylish 2D run-and-gun shooter with great graphics and artistic design, and lots of crazy weapons. Highly fun both alone or in co-op, definitely recommended.
