    Tannenberg provides a realistic historical reproduction of one of the big battles of WW1, but the gameplay is still largely perfectible and battles feel too flat, with few tactical options ad too many campers which, historical accuracy or not, isn't pleasant in a multiplayer shooter.

    NASCAR Heat 5 improves on the previous and successful episode adding new features and modes coupled with very well balanced difficulty modes. It's still got lot to improve in the presentation area and in the multiplayer modes too similar to the ones in previous game, but while waiting for the next-gen jump this remains a very good NASCAR experience.

    Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris tries to experiment with too many different mechanics without making them too compelling, and that's hampered by a lackluster technical production. It's anyway got a good basis, and SAO fans will definitely appreciate its depiction of the anime's universe and the huge levels of fan service present.

    SUPERHOT: Mind Control Delete brings a change of pace from the original game, with more varied and unpredictably randomized challenges at the cost of the hand-crafted shooter-puzzle component of the first game. Levels are more repetitive, though, and difficulty feels unevenly balanced, resulting in a less satisfying experience.

    F1 2020 keeps improving on Codemasters' racer formula, adding a welcome newbies mode and a more fleshed-out online multiplayer. Enemy AI feels too frustrating though, and that's definitely something needing more work by the devs.

    Superliminal offers us an original and mind-bending first-person puzzle experience, a bit too short but always surprising and with a very satisfying ending.

    Skelattack nails its retro flavor with a very pleasing art style, but it fails in providing a compelling and satisfying platforming experience due to imprecise controls, a basic level design and too little content.

    Assetto Corsa Competizione is the simulation every car lover wanted on console, but everything good it does gets ultimately overshadowed by a too unstable frame-rate, a mortal sin for a racing game. Wheel management bugs aren't helpful, too.

    SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated is the definitive version of THQ's two-decades old platformer, with brilliant graphics, new multiplayer modes and added content. THQ Nordic even went th extra step of re-dubbing all the voices for multiple languages, a definitely appreciated choice for non-english speaking gamers. It still brings over some of the original game shortcomings like simple level design and combat, but it definitely is one of the best 3D platformers of the gen and a must buy for SpongeBob fans.

    Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling is a nice love letter to Paper Mario, with its classical cartoonish look and old-school turn-based gameplay, but even with some meaningful differences, it ends up looking too much as an imitation rather than a creative tribute.

    Disintegration creates an original mix of FPS and real-time strategy action, but it ends up over-simplifying both aspects delivering an unsatisfying experience. The underdeveloped Campaign story and the problematic multiplayer don't help, too.

    Beyond Blue might lack gameplay variety and an absorbing plot, but it balances it with a fascinating and realistic depiction of the underwater world, letting us explore and discover the sheer beauty of dolphins, whales and sperm whales.

    Project Warlock enriches and modernizes an old FPS formula, resulting in an highly entertaining and challenging experience. Every fan of classic FPSes should try it.

    Mimimi Productions successfully managed to revive Desperados' original charm, delivering us an old school tactical game but with accessible gameplay and modern production values. A game to play for every lover of real-time tactics.

    Ion Fury is a brutal, frantic and desecrating FPS recalling the old splendor of the Duke Nukem 3D era. It includes all the downsides of the "fake 3D" games of the '90s too, but for lovers of that kind of experience will be very satisfying.

    Ultimate Fishing Simulator fails its own title, being very far away from a fishing simulator, let alone the ultimate one. Bad U.I., unsatisfying fishing mechanics, totally unbalanced accessory and bait costs and several technical problems leave very little to be praised, like the good underwater camera.

    We Were Here Together is a pleasant co-op adventure with good puzzles and satisfying player interactions mechanics. It could have had a better storytelling though, and the fact the developers completely ignored the Italian language, even for matchmaking search settings, left us a bit disappointed.

    Super Toy Cars 2 offers good driving model, variety and difficulty balancing, but this is offset by technical issues and physics that keep it from being completely satisfying.

    Minecraft Dungeons successfully translates Mojang's franchise to the dungeon crawler action-RPG genre, making it much more accessible than the other games in the genre even if at the cost of some depth and variety. All in all an highly enjoyable game, hoping it'll be supported with a steady flow of new content for a long time.

    Woodle Tree 2: Deluxe+ delivers a pleasant 3D platform adventure, with a satisfying gameplay and varied environments. It just lacks in the visuals side with too simplistic and flat graphics, but it will surely be a satisfying experience also for kids and newcomers to the genre.

    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.

    Super Mega Baseball 3 is a welcome improvement to the series, keeping its mix of arcadey look to a more serious game simulation, and with good additions like the "management-lite" Franchise mode, Traits and several improvements to base-running and catchers fielding. Definitely a game to have for lovers of this sport.

    A fun and challenging side-scrolling shooter with a Contra vibe; it's not particularly original, but it nailed its comic vibe and it can offer captivating challenges.

    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.

    Telling Lies is an atypical and surprising game that every lover of deep narrative and thrilling stories should try. Digging through tens and thousands of video recordings you'll unearth an intimate but complex world of love, lies, betrayal and human fragility that will glue you to the screen through the end, leaving you in anguish and willing to dig even deeper.

    SnowRunner surprised us with a very satisfying off-road simulation thanks to great gameplay, physics simulation an huge and highly varied sceneries. It's got some rough edges, but if the devs will keep investing in it, this could become one of the most loved franchises around in the future.

    Daymare: 1998 is an ambitious survival horror game, balanced between old school mechanics and innovation and with an original plot rich of references to the 80s. Its good story and inventory management system clashes with a shaky technical production and some uneven difficulty spikes especially with puzzles, but it's overall a likeable game that every fan of the classic survival horror series should give 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.

    Hotline Miami Collection finally brings one of the most iconic and charismatic indie series of the last decade. Its violent but tactical gameplay, hyperdetailed 80s styled pixel art and frantic rhythm make it a game to have even counting in some design flaws. It doesn't add anything new to the original games, but if you never played it, it's definitely a buy to consider.

    MotoGP 20 further improves on the already good 2019 game with a more satisfying Career mode, renewed Historical Challenges and and great gameplay and technical production. There's still much space for improvements and we feel Milestone might dare more with new things, but it'll undoubtedly be a satisfying game for all fans of the genre.
