    Dragon's Dogma 2 offers an experience with both dated and innovative elements. Some controversial choices, such as those on saves and fast travel, clash with modern standards, but in terms of gameplay and artificial intelligence it is one of the best titles of recent years. The story, on the other hand, remains rather anonymous and unmemorable, but if you are looking for a challenging game that will surprise you between exploration and creativity, then you need look no further.

    A brilliant tribute to Oddworld Inhabitants' debut game, still highly entertaining despite the almost 20 years from the original game also thanks to a refined control system and a more friendly save system. Unmissable.

    Indiana Jones and the Great Circle effectively succeeds in bringing the magic of Spielberg's films to our screens, delivering a vast and fascinating world with a great focus on storytelling and freedom of exploration. The story is always engaging, the puzzles challenging, and the action adrenaline-pumping, making up for a few slips on stealth AI and animations. All in all, a title passed with high marks, hopefully just the first in a series of new Indy games by Bethesda and MachineGames.

    An undoubtedly successful next-gen makeup operation, delivering rich and vibrant graphics on an already great game. Nevertheless, this is a game suited only for those who never played the original one: the revamped graphics aren't enough to justify the admittance price if you already played it.

    Definitely the best Mortal Kombat so far, and probably the best fighting game around too. Everything in Mortal Kombat 11 is meticulously curated, from the perfect combat system to the awesome graphics and the rich online support. A great buy for any fan.

    Rise of the Tomb Raider successfully builds upon the already good previous episode, delivering a rock-solid experience with a compelling story, gorgeous visuals and an open world packed full of things to do. Our only complaint is about the still too simplistic puzzles, but it's definitely a game every lover of this genre should look forward to playing.

    Forza Horizon 2 amazes for the sheer quantity and quality of its contents, from the breathtaking vistas to the many single and multiplayer modes. Tons of realistically reproduced cars, spectacular weather effects and an highly entertaining experience with a great sense of freedom concur to make it one of the must-buy games of this generation.

    Silent Hill 2 remains one of the most powerful narrative experiences ever created. Replaying it over 20 years later with remade visuals and gameplay is invaluable, especially for newcomers to Silent Hill’s haunting world. Some mechanics feel dated and the push for constant scares can be heavy-handed, but its atmosphere and storytelling still make it essential for fans of survival horror and narrative-driven games.

    A thrilling and insane first person trip in a retro-futuristic world, with a surprising story and great visuals. Suggested to any lover of story-driven adventures.

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a solid, vast and ambitious sequel capable of satisfying both action-RPG lovers and Star Wars fans. The many new features introduced on the exploration and combat fronts allow for the gameplay to take a considerable leap forward, without abandoning the much-appreciated metroidvania and souls-like dynamics. The game lends itself to criticism in the plot and in fight balancing, especially with bosses, but despite this, it stays fun and engaging until the end.

    DiRT 4 offers us a very good driving model, suited both to hardcore rally lovers and more casual gamers, and a satisfying variety in modes and tracks. We would have liked a greater range of locations and more stunning graphics, but what's left is however a very solid and entertaining racer.

    A real racing masterpiece and definitely the best game in the series so far. Technically stunning, with lots of customization options and an improved racing wheel support, Forza Motorsport 7 is the game to have for any racing game lover.

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is a heartfelt tribute to the series, a remake that captures the essence of two timeless classics. Iron Galaxy modernizes gameplay and levels with style, delivering depth, adrenaline, and rich content. While technical hiccups and a divisive take on THPS 4's career mode hold it back slightly, this is still a vibrant slice of gaming history, reborn.

    A must buy for every fighting games fan: violent, contents-rich and with a very good - even if a bit on the short side - story. Its only real flaw is the weak netcode, yet better than the one in the previous game.

    A solid remaster, with some good improvements in graphics, usability and multiplayer gameplay; it's definitely advised if you never played the original game, but if you've already played it, it couldn't offer enough incentives to go back to Lordran.

    A great candidate for the title of best game in the series thanks to brilliant graphics, great attention to detail, a very immersive story and some well thought-out gameplay innovations. A must for every stealth action lover.

    OlliOlli World reaches the series' full maturity with a colorful and imaginative world, captivating characters and lots of content and challenges, offering a package never so fascinating and complete. Recommended to all the lovers of skateboarding and platforming.

    Dragon Age: The Veilguard shows a BioWare that wants to return to telling great single-player stories and taking us to fantastic places, but it only partially succeeds due to limited combat, a narrative with significant quality shortcomings compared to the past, and a technical aspect that suffers from the various identity changes the game has undergone over the years. Nevertheless, the new Dragon Age still remains fun to play, enticing to explore, and brimming with riches to experience and discover; thus, it deserves a chance from gamers.

    A brilliant shoot'em up, capable of mixing the genre's classic mechanics with beat'em up and RPG elements and with lots of modes and customizability. Its only fault is a too generic and uninspired look, but otherwise it's one of the best shooters around.

    The Talos Principle II has emerged as one of the best puzzle adventures ever. A unique and fascinating experience that will keep you glued to the screen for dozens of hours while making you reflect on deep philosophical and existential themes. To be played without hesitation.

    NHL 20 keeps on improving its formula both in terms of modes variety and gameplay, with an high authenticity and fluidity which makes us almost feel like we're there on the ice swapping blows with our opponents.

    CD Projekt RED managed in making extremely compelling an unusual genre for a narrative game, successfully mixing exploration, dialogues and card battles in a game that will please any The Witcher lover.

    A massive game, highly refined with many modes and a perfectly balanced gameplay and with a very high longevity: undoubtedly the best title in the series and best boxing game out there. Great in singleplayer, addicting in multiplayer.

    A heartfelt and intimate experience, putting us in the shoes of a fragile man who chose the isolation of nature to escape a great pain. It's more an interactive tale rather than a proper game, but its good story and awesome sceneries make it worth the experience. Too bad for the frequent and annoying stutters and frame-rate drops: it could have used some more optimization.

    Helldivers 2 is a solid and hilarious co-op shooter, offering explosive moments especially when played with friends. While it can become repetitive when played solo and lacks cross-progression, its satirical take on propaganda and its budget price make it an excellent value and a must-try for fans of cooperative action.

    Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is a good and entertaining Arcade game, especially if played in local co-op. Too bad the game doesn't support (yet, at least) online co-op too.

    Lies of P is an excellent souls-like game, not particularly original and that could be improved in some aspects, but nonetheless capable of keeping the player glued to the screen thanks to a top-quality combat system, a well-structured progress system and an engaging story full of references to Collodi's novel that serves as a fascinating steampunk world backdrop. A game that all lovers of the genre should try, maybe taking advantage of its presence in the Xbox Game Pass.

    Guacamelee! 2 adds some new elements to the first game's formula without innovating it, confirming all the strengths but also the flaws of its predecessor. We would have liked a fresher and more ambitious sequel, but every lover of the first game will definitely find it a pleasing - but not surprising - experience.
