The Great War: Western Front is a good real-time strategy game that effectively captures the madness of World War I in a way that nobody ever dared to attempt. Despite some shortcomings typical of an independent production, Petroglyph's title offers innovative ideas that elevate it to the level of the greats in the genre, such as Paradox and Creative Assembly. For a studio new to the field, this is an impressive achievement.

Cities: VR - Enhanced Edition is an excellent management game with complex and stratified gameplay. Unfortunately, virtual reality is not well suited to the genre, and the absence of a campaign mortifies the progression of the experience.

There's little to be saved in Emoji Kart Racer: its very genre is somehow enjoyable, but the game does almost nothing right, in its uninspiring and bland design, further flawed by lack of modes.

A solid real time strategy game back in 2007, the OnceMore edition packs new features for Grimgrimoire, boosting its quality-of-life factor and delivering a game that still shines today.

Ravenbound, to emerge from the classic roguelikes, challenges the competition by adding an open world map and permanent death to the formula. Unfortunately, despite the idea being original, the technical problems that afflict it and the dated combat system don't make the game shine, leaving us at the mercy of repetitive and uninteresting activities.

The Last of Us Part 1 is the excellent remake of an excellent game, and you must play it if you haven't already done so. However, the PC port developed by Iron Galaxy suffers from too many problems related to bad optimization.

Vernal Edge is an action packed Metroidvania set in a world that resembles a lot the one of Laputa - Castle in the Sky by Haiyao Miyazaki and with the excellent combat system of Hollow Knight.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is the classic game from ACE Team: stylistically splendid, it requires the player to accept its peculiar dynamics in order to truly appreciate it.

Pirates Outlaws is a very derivative but well-crafted roguelike card game. Its greatest strength is the amount of content and variety, which will keep players eager to try new characters and regions glued for many hours. The battle system is the one familiar to fans of Slay the Spire and similar games, and luck plays a big role, but most of the time it is fun to set off on an ambush.

Crime Boss: Rockay City is a heist game clearly inspired by Payday, but with a strategic twist that adds a pinch of depth to the experience, also due to the thrill of the roguelite approach and permadeath. The game features a surprising cast of Hollywood stars from the 80s and the 90s, but when it comes to gameplay the experience feels simplistic and repetitive.

Give me toilet paper! is an absurd game, but in the best sense of the word. The original control system is refreshing, the design ideas effective, and the setting prints a smile on your face the whole time. There, the "time" is the only major flaw, as you finish in half an hour, especially if you "cheat" by laying the roll on the ground. However, considering that it costs only four euros, we recommend it to everyone. We really hope it will be successful, and the author will create a sequel.

ALTAIR BREAKER is a real disaster. From the level design and graphics to the difficulty level and online multiplayer, there is virtually nothing about this game that borders on sufficiency.

Mighty DOOM might not be the most original single stick shooter available on iOS and Android, but manages to brilliantly translate the popular id Software series into a fun and enjoyable mobile game full of references to the original shooter.

Demeo is a virtual reality experience resembling a lot what sci-fi has promised us where an activity you could do in real life is perfectly recreated virtually, in this case is a well thought mixture of Dungeons and Dragons and Magic The Gathering.

Storyteller is a well made game with a strong sense of novelty which forces you to think but comes to an end too soon and sometimes isn't really clever how it should have been.

Terra Nil is a simple but ingenious game. It's not the deepest, it's not the longest, but it speaks to the environment in a subtle way, with great art direction and a relaxing soundtrack.

A real gem in the VR space, What the Bat is distilled fun with just a pair of baseball bats and goofy characters. This game is an example of how great game design wins over fancy graphics or physics and is able to create genuine fun.

Dredge is the well-realized synthesis of a simple idea with the graft of the mysteries and the horrors of a sea full of secrets, aberrations and forgotten stories. Black Salt Games manufactures an astounding debut, capable to keep the players hooked beyond its final credits. Suspended between curiosity and fear, Dredge can be lived by the players at their own pace, without haste, knowing full well that the ocean, with its wonders and its nightmares, will always be out there, waiting for us.

Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is the last chapter of the trilogy, and it's also the best of all.

Phantom Brigade is a game based on an exceptional idea that works great for a few hours, but is broken by a poorly executed progression system that exposes all its limitations.

Rakuen is an isekai adventure that deserves to be lived for the first time by those who missed it when it first came out and to be appreciated one more time by those who had already loved it. Rakuen Deluxe Edition puts together both the video games and the animated series created so far on this well-characterized and recognizable universe, coming with its characters and its own rules, filled with memorable and intense stories.

WWE 2K23 is the first major work born on the foundations laid last year. Curious to understand what Visual Concepts will offer us next year (the third year is always the most substantial), and and despite the small uncertainties found in the Showcase mode and in the nature of the MyFaction mode, we are enjoying the return of Wrestling towards the top of the sports video games.

Anno 1800 Console Edition is a quality port of a game that we no longer expected to see on Xbox and PlayStation. Of proven beauty, the Blue Byte game hypnotizes with labyrinthine and all-encompassing mechanics, here re-proposed in their original precision.

Mr. Saitou proves to be a successful spin-off, even if sometimes it overdose its citationism and keeps a tone that results to be too light-hearted when compared to Rakuen's powerful, well-written stories. It's still an adventure that deserves to be loved by Laura Shigihara's fans, a multi-talented video game developer who is capable of expressing herself through a vast array of media.

Tchia's adventure works at its finest in its exploratory phases: running up the islands inside the body of a deer, a bird or a gecko offers widely different points of view. Being able to alternate perspectives and abilities is Tchia's strongest selling point, with Awaceb that has demonstrated undivided attention and deep love towards New Caledonia. It's a shame that exploratory and combat phases were poorly balanced during some moments of the main campaign, with the concentration of mandatory battles against Maano in a chapter in particular. We believe that this doesn't affect Tchia's high quality overall, thanks to an adventure able to warm the players' hearts with a perfect ending for its story and an unforgettable setting.

Peppa Pig: World Adventures is a game designed for children and Peppa Pig fans. It is a very simple experience that has very little to say to anyone else.

Meshing metroidvania with dating sim is an enticing idea, but also very bold and risky. Even though we really would like to love Romancelvania for what it is, it has many flaws in its gameplay that hold back the whole game. Characters and dialogues are interesting, the constant sexy and flirty tones are somewhat engaging, but the action foundation is quite weak.

King of the Castle is a decidedly particular game, and its exclusively multiplayer nature could unfortunately make it less famous than it actually deserves. There are still some things to polish and something to add but this could just be the dawn of a new genre of games to interact with through a live or to spend a few hours having fun with friends.
