Pac-Man is back with a new collection that is truly unmissable for all historical fans, but also for casual gamers.

Swansong is clearly an ambitious and passionate game. Unfortunately, it's also not a great one, due to a rollercoaster of a narrative with more lows than highs, weak production values, and some baffling choices here and there. It's still a pretty enjoyable experience, especially for fans of the World of Darkness, but this universe deserves more.

Samurai, time travel, demons: the niche anime now has its first, good 3D video game.

Sniper Elite 5 probably stands as the best episode of the Rebellion series, but five years after the previous chapter we expected more substantial improvements compared to a couple of ziplines, climbing vines, active reload and some upgradable skills. The core gameplay still works, but suffers from the same old problems when it comes to short-ranged fights and the movements and interactions of the characters feel really cumbersome.

We really liked Freud's Bones, both as a game in itself and in the way it knows how to mask its limitations behind interesting playful solutions, as well as an appealing and graphical style. It's a little verbose and is best enjoyed if one knows a little about psychoanalysis, but that's inevitable given the subject.

Dolmen is an irremediably mediocre and dated soulslike, extremely generic and uninspired, with just a couple of good ideas when it comes to gameplay and weapons.

Its catchy aesthetics and style are perhaps the only new introduction of Dislyte in the realm of gacha RPB mobile, and it can be enough to draw attention to this new game, at least for a little while. Outside its character design and flashy visuals, there's nothing new to see here.

Killer in the Cabin is a mix between Among Us and a survival. It proves interesting for a few games, especially if you have a group of friends ready to invest 4 euros each. However, if you are looking for a multiplayer game to play with strangers, you may find yourself unable to even start a session due to the lack of online users.

Eternal Threads has really convinced us, thanks to the freedom it leaves the player to carry out the investigation as he likes. In the end, temporal manipulation is just the excuse to propose an excellent investigative puzzle game.

Evil Dead: The Game is a very interesting asymmetrical multiplayer game, extremely faithful to the atmospheres and suggestions of the horror saga created by Sam Raimi, as well as capable of delivering a relatively fresh cooperative and competitive gameplay. Played with friends the title is fun and exciting, but the formula couldn't hold up very long due to the limited and confusing combat system, as well as some technical issues on PC.

The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story is a journey into a century of moments of a family and, in a way, of an entire country as well. It touches on its mythology, traditions and contradictions, without leaving its mark to the end. There is no doubt that we are talking about a timeless production that will attract only a certain type of fans, but it is also true that the quality of the direction and the acting of the sequences make it a really interesting and eye-catching experiment.

Citizen Sleeper is a title that we feel we can promote without too many hesitations because it represents what any author's game should be: a personal work that carries out its main theme within its systems, that is, that makes its ultimate meaning in the mechanics alive.

Dorfromantik offers a relaxing and artistic experience that can be turned into a strategic challenge where every move must be calculated to the millimeter. Each player can choose how to approach the experience. The gameplay exhausts its novelties quickly, but Toukana Interactive's game should not be calculated in hours needed to complete it, so much as in stress relief.

Badland Party still has sparks of the old magic: even if it's something like a more of the same and its innovations are not so meaningful, there's always space for this well-crafted gameplay.

Procedurality and Lovecraft are two words that we never expected to come to life together, yet the three guys from Carry Castle did.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt is a pleasant and interesting battle royale, with some original ideas (classes, powers, civilians to bite) and an extremely dynamic gameplay.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is better than we expected but a rough combat system and the sheer repetitiveness of the gameplay loop make for a half baked appetizer while waiting for the first course Hundred Heroes will be.

This War of Mine: Final Cut closes an important path for 11 bit studios and does so at the most appropriate time, when it's really important to raise awareness of what war really means for ordinary people. From this point of view, the game still does its job very well and the three extra stories add further narrative depth to the package, which however remains designed for mouse and therefore turns out to be rather cumbersome when playing with a controller.

Yoku's Island Express proves that platforms, and even metroidvanias, can find new ways adding unusual elements to the gameplay with strange and unique mix of characteristics. In this case, the strange blend of platform, adventure and flipper results in an amazing design.

Salt and Sacrifice is a game that blends several genres, but ultimately fails to make the best of any of them. It won't satisfy fans of the first game and probably not even those looking for something different.

There's still magic in the Mana series, and a spark of this is visible also in a mobile gacha RPG like Echoes of Mana. Its characterization and atmosphere are the driving force of this game, that otherwise, gameplay-wise, brings absolutely nothing new to the table.

King Arthur: Knight's Tale is an excellent strategic role-playing game, with many winning features, such as the setting and the combat system, which fortunately the flaws, while present, fail to nullify. Of course, we would have liked a few more interactions in the exploration phases, as well as a more balanced management of progression, but you can't have it all.

Trek to Yomi is a good game. He wisely mixes action combat and exploration. Too bad for some ingenuity that often makes it not very user friendly and which all seem to derive more from inexperience than from lack of time. If you are a lover of Japanese folklore and culture you will still have something to eat.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters is definitely a title recommended to all those who appreciate the revived formula from the XCOM series reboot of Firaxis, despite having a more rigid campaign structure.

An absolutely brilliant roguelite that takes the gameplay loop from the original game and utterly perfects it, taking notes from some of the best indie games around. A must have for any fan of the genre.

The technical problems that surround Loot River are undeniable. Yet, it is fascinating how we keep thinking about getting back in those flooded corridors as soon as possible. Facing a game that forces you to restart your run because the boss got stuck between platforms and now is, somehow, invincible, one would think that that game will be soon uninstalled. Yet, perfection is overvalued nowadays. We prefer those who dare.

Bakery Simulator is a simple game, even too simple. The gameplay loop is quick, but limited by trivial mini-games and as you continue through the game you find yourself playing less and less, with many steps automated by the machinery you purchase. The progression is fast, but linear and the content is exhausted within a few hours and even before you get to the "final" you find yourself deeply bored. Add to that a few technical, visual and textual problems and you've got a game that even die-hard fans of job simulators and baking won't find much to enjoy.

Ultra Age, if considered as the sum of its parts, is a mediocre game. Limited graphics, forgettable storyline, support systems with little impact or poorly managed, limited longevity and poor replayability: there is much that does not impress, but in the midst of all this we find a pleasant combat system that can give a few hours of fun if you want an action game not too technical.
