Disco Elysium remains a narrative masterpiece and one of the best RPG experiences around. The Switch version is not the most technically astounding around, but it's clearly well made and solid enough to offer the original experience in all its glory to any player.

Back 4 Blood is the spiritual sequel to Left 4 Dead and as such it won't disappoint those who have long been waiting for an inspired, solid and fun zombie-based cooperative experience.

Thumper Pocket Edition+ is a fiercely challenging game but with its own logic, that involves us in some absolutely frantic races while we try to intercept all the obstacles thrown at us at insane speed.

A game clearly made by Smash aficionados, with great gameplay based on solid and layered mechanics. It's weak when it comes to content, and nothing to write home about from a technical standpoint, but its solid netcode and good combat system are more than enough to capture a loving community of fighting game fans.

Taken for what it is, meaning a purely narrative additional content that still manages to introduce small gameplay elements, Life is Strange: Wavelengths proves to be an excellent DLC.

Impostor Factory doesn't punch emotionally like To The Moon and Finding Paradise, but Kan Gao's and Freebird Games' skills are still intact.

We never felt so powerful in a Metroid game, but at the same time the E.M.M.I. robots keep the tension high. This is a great conclusion and an explosive return, and hopefully not the last time we see Nintendo's most famous bounty hunter in a 2D adventure.

Far Cry 6 introduces some interesting new elements, with a talking protagonist and some solid supporting characters, but unfortunately the villain nicely portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito appears too stereotyped to stand out and the structure with its regions and lieutenants turns out to be too traditional. Gameplay-wise the game is a mixed bag, with some good things but also several missed opportunities.

Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot The First Cases is a mystery novel in the form of a video game. Structurally very linear and simple, it's a good adventure for fans of the genre who are looking for a contained work that doesn't distract with secondary elements or gameplay mechanics that have little to do with the genre.

Alan Wake Remastered marks the debut of Remedy Entertainment's iconic action shooter on all platforms more than eleven years after the famous Xbox 360 exclusive. Featuring the original campaign, two DLCs and some little extras, the game runs at 4K and 60 fps on next-gen consoles, replacing a large number of assets, textures and effects.

JETT: The Far Shore is a strange game, with superficial game mechanics and an incredible anxiety to fill empty moments with something meaningful, without ever fully succeeding.

An FPS with a brilliant concept ad a great execution, plagued only by some matchmaking problems and a bland art direction. Not many players are playing it as of now, and it's truly a pity, since it deserves a lot more attention.

Teacup is a short, light and cheerful adventure. There isn't much to do other than complete a handful of very simple mini-games, but the world of Little Pond is enjoyable to visit, even if only for an hour and a half.

There are a lot of problems with AWAY: The Survival Series from the controls to the plot and the good graphics can't save the game.

There is some depth in The Lord of the Rings: Rise to War that can attract strategy fans, but this is clearly a product engineered on mobile market and with micro-transactions in mind: it could stand inside this new breed of games as one of the best, but you have to accept many compromises.

Wildermyth is more a story and a travel between generations than a game. If you love to read a lot and live and build your own legacy, Worldwalker Games' first game is a must have.

Aeon Drive is a speed test, not a canonical 2D platform.

LEGO Star Wars is a Clash Royale clone packed with the famous characters and setting of the Star Wars saga in their LEGO version.

An ageless classic that returns in time for its twentieth anniversary. Always beautiful, always fun, but the years passed begin to take their toll.

Actraiser Renaissance is certainly a pleasant trip down to memory lane but not all modernization works as it should.

Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls is a surprising and full-bodied title, characterized by a gameplay that draws on the classic episodes of the Konami series but without the overly synthetic approach often seen in similar productions.

Hot Wheels Unleashed marks the return of toy cars to consoles and PC, with a noteworthy title.

With so many quotes from great games and movies, Unmetal is a great action parody, perfectly suited for Switch gaming everywhere style.

In Sound Mind it is an overall interesting game but it is not clear what it wants to be, and in the end it leans too much towards the action.

Astria Ascending is a competent old-school JRPG with a satisfying combat system and some fun platforming exploration, but not a very compelling story or cast.

An independent first person shooter influenced by F.E.A.R. and Mirror's Edge. Frantic rhythms and bullet times in profusion for a short, intense and demanding experience, but not without some flaws.

FIFA 22 evolved its engine and its core game modes, but the feeling on the pitch is almost the same. The gameplay is very attack-oriented and fast: FIFA fans are going to love it, football fans, maybe, would love to slow it down and try a more tactical experience.

Castlevania: Advance Collection is another good collection from Konami and M2, considering both its content and execution. Even if limited to the same series, there is a good variety of experiences in this Advance Collection, with games that - although aged differently - can still be really enjoyable at this day and age.
