A little board game and a little gamebook, Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden might be the RPG you've been waiting for.

FAR: Changing Tides is a narrative adventure with puzzle platforming elements, a good evolution or even just continuation of the first chapter, but it is not able to fully convince. The gaming experience, controller in hand, is certainly not challenging but, if you come to terms with the self-imposed structural limitations, you will find yourself appreciating the navigation and immersion phases.

Between Animal Crossing and The Sims, Pocket Love is a simple simulation game about buying furniture and stuff to enrich and customize your house and making it irresistibly pretty, and actually nothing else.

Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection arrives on Nintendo Switch with an unjustifiable delay. The feeling is that Ubisoft has proceeded in a confused way, without providing certainties to users who have found themselves playing the saga, perhaps for the first time, in the wrong order. That said, the collection still delivers an extremely rich and fascinating experience, solid and consistent even in portable mode.

My Hero Ultra Impact is a gacha-style strategic RPG like there are now so many on iOS and Android.

A solid JRPG with good arts and bad graphics, Monark has some edge in terms of combat system and its great cast: a game that hardcore JRPG fans will surely enjoy a lot.

A solid "JRPG-esque" adventure from the team behind Ara Fell, Rise of the Third Power manages to send the player back to the golden Super Nintendo age, even with some not equally great dialogues.

GetsuFumaDen Undying Moon is a roguelite that takes great inspiration from Dead Cells, but without offering the most peculiar sides. Konami's is a slower game, devoted to farming and more repetitive.

Total War: Warhammer III is essential for those who enjoyed the first two chapters, because it concludes the experience in a spectacular way.

Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires tests even the most die-hard fans of the Musou genre with an even more limited and repetitive experience than usual, which suffers from the same problems as always and adds new ones to them.

A wonderful sequel focuses entirely on world building and the quality of its (side and main) missions. Everything is bigger and better, making us forget its undeniable similarities to a lot of past open world games. He's not as bold as he could have been, but he hits the mark perfectly!

A great fighting game, with solid mechanics and a satisfying roster. Auto combos are not a great solution when it comes to accessibility, but it's not as if their addition ruins the overall experience.

WorldBox - God Simulator is a sandbox full of possibilities and fun: being a god has never been so rewarding.

A great combat system with extraordinary mechanical solidity, amazing aesthetics, and a brilliant and brutal difficulty management, make Sifu a must play for any action lover.

OlliOlli World is a title full of enthusiasm and love for skateboarding.

Not everything is perfect in Dying Light 2 Stay Human: there are several technical problems, the combat system has a bunch of balance problems and there are a lot of examples in the story that shows this game has been cut from the developer in multiple ways. On the other hand its open world is vast and with a lot of density in terms of activities and the gameplay flow can be extremely funny. So if you loved the first game, this is a must buy. All the other players should evaluate with great detail the pros and cons of the game.

It's clearly derivative, but there aren't many Mario Tennis clones and the original is not playable on these platforms, so Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis has a good match point to entertain those who want an arcade loosely based on tennis and with charismatic characters.

Angry Birds Journey brings back the classic experience of the Rovio blockbuster, but with a huge amount of improvements and new ideas.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is a must-have package for anyone yet to grapple with Nathan Drake's latest adventure and expansion starring Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross. The 60 FPS mode on PS5 stands as the best way to enjoy these experiences, so much so that even those who have already completed them could be strongly tempted to get the upgrade.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a wonderful experiment but probably the old fans of the series will regret a bunch of features that Game Freak has sacrificed in the name of a new kind of exploration and single player approach.

Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator is a strange but compelling simulation. Under an old school graphics and a cumbersome UI, it lies a well written story and a deep stocks and trading game.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel could prove to be the definitive chapter of the franchise within a few years.

Rainbow Six Extraction is a frantic but tactical first person shooter that gives its best experience playing with other 2 people. Possibly good friends. It has several flaws in terms of balance and regarding the player progression but if you want an hardcore experience, Extraction could be perfect for you.

The concept is simple and so it is its execution, but Pupperazzi manages to entertain and keep you interested for a little while, and that's simply all we can ask from this game.

Windjammers 2 is an excellent title that manages to hit the target in full, realizing what it proposes: to be the sequel that Windjammers has never had, taking back its playability and joy. Incredible how the developers have managed to not sacrifice anything of the nature of the game, while improving it in every aspect. Need some more content? Perhaps, but already in this way we guarantee that you will struggle to detach yourself, especially if you have someone to play with, offline or online.

In the shooting phase, Drakkar's game provides satisfaction despite a repetitive level design and a poor variety of enemies. However, the biggest flaw of Blackwind is given by a control and framing system which, especially in the external areas, seriously risks creating frustration. The effort to create, with the platform sections, a diversion from the usual unbridled action is appreciable, unfortunately the realization was not up to par.

We really liked Expeditions: Rome and we recommend it to all those who are looking for a deep and multifaceted role-playing game, albeit with some critical issues, especially from the strategic side.

Nobody Saves the World takes many ideas from Guacamelee and successfully transfers them in an action RPG structure that recalls the Diablo-like sub-genre. It's surely a grindfest in the end, but an exciting one.

Rescue Party: Live! is a clone of Overcooked! with a firefighter theme. Compared to the culinary title, it focuses more on survival and the unexpected in the levels, which create various difficulties, both in a positive and negative sense. It is only recommended for those who know they can play the entire adventure in co-op (up to a maximum of four players).

The PC version of God of War is simply the best way to play this marvelous action made in Santa Monica Studios. We'd like to have a bunch of additional graphic options but the full support of DLSS and FSRR are more than enough to justify a new run with this game also if you played it on PS4/PS5.

There's a surprising depth in this action MOBA by Disney: obviously it's not the most technical and challenging example of this kind of games, but the abundance of famous characters has been put to a good use. It's still in progress, but its foundation seems pretty solid.

An impressive port, with a good amount of graphical options and great optimization. Indeed the best way to enjoy Rise's amazing combat system.

Lone Echo 2 is the perfect sequel for those who have loved the original title. All the others must be prepared for a wonderful VR adventure with basic puzzles and an enormous amount of dialogues.

Disney Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition offers a new adventure between the disney realms, a bit in the style of Animal Crossing.

GTFO is an entertaining and demanding experience, but it's not a game for everyone.

Praey for the Gods is a passionate homage to Shadow of the Colossus made by a team of just three persons. The experience is necessarily derivative but the boss fights certainly have their reasons: they are challenging and exciting although sometimes frustrating.

Aeterna Noctis is a good - but far from perfect - metroidvania: some choices and general ideas could work better, but the game is somehow more than the sum of its parts.

After years of absence from the radar, a videogame transposition of the epic based on D&D returns.

There's no trace of the classic management and strategic structure of the original Monopoly in this Madness, but if you take it for what it is - a messy multiplayer party game - there's a good amount of fun to have here.

Endwalker is an outstanding expansion with a gripping narrative and fun boss encounters.

Scarf is a very simple game that offers a limited experience. It ends up being a relaxing platformer, which does not engage the player too much in the three hours that it lasts.

Alien: Isolation is still an excellent survival horror on iOS and Android too. This conversion is technically perfect but it requests a smartphone or tablet with high-end hardware and will be a lot better to play using a Bluetooth controller.

Wytchwood shares much with its context. The small team of AlienTrap Games managed to create a powerful game that is capable to obscure the derivative nature of its origins. The only guilt that can be attributed to this project is that it wasn't able to determine when it was the right time to put an end to its story.

Not exactly the kind of game we were expecting from this team. While relaxing and inspired at times, too many aspects of The Gunk are quite mediocre, or too simplistic to really allow the game to shine.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade confirms on PC all the merits of an engaging, spectacular and lasting game. Packed with a fascinating narrative, an amazing artistic direction and solid gameplay, the remake comes to the Windows platform with a frankly listless conversion, not very scalable and badly optimized, without even the most trivial graphics options.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel: Dawn of the Battle Royale offers a whole new plot, new characters and above all, rules of the game never seen before.

Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! is a solid and fun rhythm game, with very traditional mechanics that are enlivened by the presence of a multiplayer mode and special events, as well as by a visual novel-style story that is certainly nice if you like the genre.

Anyone who chews a bit of fantasy can never have imagined what it can be to fly on the saddle of a dragon shooting fireballs and spinning free in the air. Finally the dream becomes (partially) reality.

Sometimes devs must think more about players than themselves if they want to make a good game.

Fights in Tight Spaces is a well-crafted card-based tactical turn-based roguelike that will satisfy fans of the genre. It lacks personality, both visually and narratively, but makes up for it with an intriguing and challenging enough combat system.

White Shadows is a good first game for Monokel. Good graphics, powerful art direction, but it lacks inspiration.

Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX offers lots of little monsters to raise, heal and bring to glory, with good results.

Splitgate is a competitive free-to-play shooter that takes something from Halo, Portal and others to offer a fun yet pretty generic experience, supported by a large amount of content and a flexible F2P model for those who do not (yet) want to invest money in the game.

A heartfelt tribute and a good sequel to Beneath a Steel Sky, Beyond a Steel Sky is an interesting adventure for traditional fans and newcomers, thanks to its peculiar vision of cyberpunk and the new hacking system that adds an interesting layer to the classic puzzle solving.

Rocket League Sideswipe is a fun, frantic and spectacular arcade game that doesn't deliver the full Rocket League experience since it's limited to two-dimensional challenges, but it's a blast nonetheless.

Take three cups of Back to the Future, add two teaspoons of Murakami and Ganbare Goemon, cream it together with Stranger Things and, at the end, spice it up with Earthbound: this is The Kids We Were, by Gagex. A narrative game, not for everyone, but excellent: one of the best indie titles of the year, for sure.

The recent resurgence of classic FPS style clearly responds to a need of old school gameplay, immediacy and challenge. We can find a perfect answer to all of these needs in Dusk, surely one of the most successful gems brought by this new wave.

Heavenly Bodies has a single task: to make us struggle with gravity. Our astronaut must drag, throw, grab, pull, press and more, with the ultimate goal of getting a series of abandoned space stations back on their feet. If you're not afraid to put yourself to the test and are ready for a low gaming pace, we recommend it.

The main campaign of Halo Infinite has a bunch of problems: the AI that manages the friendly marines is underwhelming and the level design of the missions is sometimes repetitive. But as soon as you start firing, the game is simply perfect and this is what counts in a first person shooter.

This Is The President is much like a presidential mandate: it intrigues you in the beginning, then starts to show its real nature as you start worrying about every little mistake, until four years passes by and all you are left with is a bit of indifference and a more or less stable world that still stands firm on its pillars.

Chorus is a frantic and rather challenging space shooter, with many different enemies and nice boss fights but also complex controls that will literally make you intertwine your fingers during the more challenging and blasphemous clashes.

A brilliant game, strengthened by an amazing art direction and great design that makes progression natural. It's definitely not perfect, some of its design solutions aren't as elegant and perfectly integrated as others, and its narrative falls flat most of the time, but in the end it's another great demonstration of Heart Machine's talent.

A Short Hike is a game loyal to its title. The condensed adventure may not be capable of delivering an ever engaging main narration, but its strenght resides in the world that polyhedric Adam Robinson-Yu and composer Mark Sparling managed to build in such a charming way.

My friend Peppa Pig is a good game for the little Peppa's fan. Everyone else has to avoid the game, it simply isn't an experience crafted for them.

Oddworld: Soulstorm Enhanced Edition is still a great game with great problems, some really nice ideas and a compelling story but also cumbersome and imprecise controls that make the experience inevitably frustrating.

Asterix & Obelix: Slap Them All! is a disappointing beat'em up which bets everything on the beautiful visuals but ultimately fails at everything else.

Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain is fun and shines in multiplayer, but it's very limited for single player gamers.

Punctual as a Swiss watch, here is the new incarnation of the official game of the motocross world championship. Let's see if the Milestone guys did their "dirty" job in the MXGP 2021 review.

It's the same old story even with Tales of Luminaria: years later, this is still a gacha RPG with the same mechanics of many others, but its character and some solutions in controls and comfort of use make it a good choice, among dozens of similar games.

Pronty Fishy Adventure is a metroidvania with a visual style of the highest level, a simple but adequate storyline/lore and some different gameplay ideas than usual.

Invisible Walls has decided that the time has come to try to dethrone the highly decorated Among Us with a game based on the same logic but with its own specific identity and a peculiar style. Let's see if it made it in our First Class Trouble review.

LEGO Star Wars: Castaways is a really great tie-in, developed by Gameloft but with the same approach and philosophy used up to now by TT Games. The idea of the big hub and the simulations works well and the progression system gradually reveals the new contents of an experience that immediately appears pretty rich.

In Exo One, each world has its own characteristics, which make the journey truly unique.

Undungeon is an action role-playing game that wants to be hardcore and for sure it is, even if with a few too many edges. The difficulty level is not perfectly balanced and punishes mistakes with regularity, demanding serious farming to have a competitive character in your hands.

Death's Door makes its way to Nintendo's portable console with a solid and competent port.

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy tells an original, different and interesting story set during the One Year War. But there are a lot of problems: the gameplay is slow, cumbersome and frustrating, while the graphics are dated to say the least.

Despite some resemblance to Battle Chasers: Nightwar, with Ruined King: A League of Legend Story the developers make a step forward and deliver us a more refined experience, suitable for veterans and newcomers to League of Legends.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl we have two distinct souls: the strict remake and the new features. It's still a pleasure to explore Sinnoh, but a more ILCA should have done more to blend all the new stuff and the core game.

A battle royale on Final Fantasy seems surely a strange and apparently venal operation, but there is some study and commitment in this project. It's a fairly engaging shooter that links perfectly with Final Fantasy 7 lore that fans of the original could enjoy, but others may struggle to find attractive in any way.

Farming Simulator 22 is a solid and well-finished chapter, but does not offer big news.

Grow: Song of the Evertree is a colorful game that takes from many minor and major games before it, with a discrete success in building up its own identity. Even if it has its flaws it is able to speak to a younger audience in a compelling way.

New World is a great theme park at its inauguration. Not all attractions are ready, some work well but need to be run in and others are still in the planning stage. There is absolutely no doubt that the foundations for something great are all there, benefiting from a colossal budget and substantially infinite resources, but it is equally true that what we now have in our hands is an introduction and nothing more.

Seven Knights 2 is a visually stunning action RPG, packed with lots of characters and content, which will not fail to thrill the many fans of the first episode.

Impossible not to know League of Legends, especially in these days. Not that it's a bad thing, let's understand, and that's why we suggest you to play Hextech Mayhem.

A painful missed opportunity. These half-cooked remasters show some qualities but are clearly not enough to celebrate such masterpieces like GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas.

There are sparkles of the original series in Mega Man X Dive, and levels and situations that recalls the good old days of the brand, but although we can see this as a good homage, ultimately this game doesn't feel like Mega Man at all.

A real evolution of the original, Jurassic World Evolution 2 brings a lot of new contents and deepens its simulation structure to reach another level of complexity and richness.

Sherlock Holmes Chapter One refines the formula of The Sinking City, offering a more investigative and varied game, which will probably appeal to hardcore fans of Frogwares' works. However, the main plot is a bit weak and rushed, although the total content is supported by various pleasant side events.

PUBG: New State stands as a simple PUBG Mobile spin-off, with few innovations that really justify this "futuristic" iteration and a gunplay that unfortunately has not evolved in recent years.

Battlefield 2042 is a gorgeous FPS but it fails to provide a polished and deep experience that we expect from a premium AAA game.

Transformers: Tactical Arena is a nice real-time strategy game, which faithfully reproduces the Clash of Clans formula but applies it to the Hasbro franchise. The end result is a solid and well tested experience, but also quite derivative.

Unpacking is a fun and entertaining little game that knows exactly its expressive boundaries.

A little late to the party, Gang Beasts find its home on Nintendo Switch, maybe the best place to play it, thanks to the possibility of multiplayer "on the go" and its demographic. It's still the same strange game that shines in multiplayer offline, but offering nothing more and nothing less than mayhem and silly fun.

Bright Memory Infinite is a first step in the right direction but certainly not the premium shooter that many expected, since it's very short but also available at a very low price. The two hours needed to beat the game are a lot of fun, however, and we really hope this is just the beginning for this project.

Not quite a proper video game, Pikmin Bloom is a sort of a glorified pedometer that can actually help you go outside and walk in an original way.

Blue Reflection: Second Light takes the basis of the first game and creates a JRPG with a more interesting and tactically varied combat system and team management. Unfortunately, the low difficulty level limits the game's potential.

Just Dance 2022 is here: are you ready to dance again with friends?
