Quotation forthcoming.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is a monumental expansion, a meticulous work that partially returns to the roots of the Souls series without betraying the spirit of the base game or abandoning the features that have endeared it to so many players. It is an impressive work, capable of astonishing with its incredible map design and the variety of new elements introduced, and its balancing issues do not diminish its value. Even after exploring the Land of Shadows so extensively and uncovering almost every secret, we seriously believe there is room for more stories, more places, and more revelations.

Still Wakes the Deep is a conundrum: a narrative adventure with a penchant for passive survival horror, but one that proves incapable of expressing the values one would expect from The Chinese Room a full eleven years after Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. It feels like a Scottish-style reworking of Dead Space, and the gameplay is merely a set of gimmicks put there to tell the story, but with little desire and even less courage.

Monster Hunter Stories HD is a decent remaster with some nice additions as far as presentation is concerned. Stories 2 is still a better game all around but if you have already played that and liked the concept, this remaster might be a good way to go back riding instead of hunting.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is your usual Atlus update but the baseline game, which was amazing per se, has been improved by nice quality of life additions and a huge amount of content that ends up improving the rethreaded narrative as well. It's a massive deal for newcomers and quite a good one for returning players too.

Squad Busters comes with colorful graphics, simple and fun gameplay, many elements to unlock among characters and maps, and finally a rather rich progression system, ready to entertain us for a long time.

Autopsy Simulator is more a narrative game than a simulator, but it delivers a good story.

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is a great remake of a great classic, maybe too hard for the modern audience.

Hypercharge: Unboxed is an incredible vision made reality thanks to inspired design and a lot of nostalgia, its only downsides are a not so original gameplay and guns that are a little sluggish.

F1 24 represents only a small, weak and in many ways unnecessary step forward for Codemasters' series. The driving sensations are very similar compared to the past with some incomprehensible and unrealistic behaviors. The newly added content can be glossed over and does not add much value to the production. Perhaps the developers should cut out the older generation consoles and change the game's distribution model to get back on the right path.

XDefiant's debut undoubtedly lays a solid foundation for Ubisoft's free-to-play shooter, which in terms of gameplay succeeds in offering a fast-paced, fun and very grounded experience, although not perfectly in focus.

Capes is an XCOM with super heroes where the superheroes are the problem to solve.

Hauntii is full of character on an artistic level, while it turns out to be less centered and brave in terms of gameplay. Often confusing and unpolished from a technical point of view, Hauntii is a swinging experience, beautiful during the exploration phases, while frustrating in the fights and in the resolution of many puzzles.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is simply Lorelei and the Laser Eyes: it's hard to find other words to describe this video game because it shies away from any common genre or comparison term in favor of its strange identity, which embodies the very essence of Simogo's production. Hotel Letztes Jahr is a labyrinth outside of space and time that houses, beyond its approximately one hundred and fifty puzzles, an investigative thriller, a search akin to Arthurian legend, and a profound reflection on art, all framed in an offbeat aesthetic style able to transform it into a true obsession.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 perfectly meets all the expectations we've had for months (and years) for this sequel. It undoubtedly capitalizes on Ninja Theory's expertise and the work done seven years ago with the original title, but it doesn't even attempt to bring any real innovation to the gameplay. This is an adventure game with some puzzles and a handful of combat sequences that serve to break the narrative's rhythm. If you approach it prepared and aware of this reality, we're confident that Hellblade 2 will not disappoint you. However, if you were tired of the first game or expected a cutting-edge action title, you might end up feeling burned. But one thing is for sure: if you find a way to check it out, do so at all costs, if only to understand what is, to date, the new technological benchmark of modern video games.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door aged impressively well. The game itself is still exquisitely crafted with brilliant characters and story arcs, fun battles and interesting puzzles. Nintendo mitigated a few issues as much as it was possible without changing the fundamental level design and added some new content for returning players: all in all, a very good remake for a masterpiece hard to find and in need of much more love.

It's remarkable how Little Kitty Big City manages to be imaginative and ironic but also surprisingly realistic. Ultimately, it is probably the best way to completely immerse yourself in the fur of a real cat, in a world transfigured in a feline-humorous sense.

Die by the Blade has some good ideas and at the best moments it works, but it struggles to find a perfect balance between all its elements and, above all, offers a horrible camera that ruins confrontations. Add to that a skimpy number of modes and a less-than-excellent technical component, and the result is a game that tries but doesn't go all the way. It's cheap, sure, and we're sure the idea of a fighting game in which you die on the first hit intrigues, but genre fans will be weirded out by the fact that the combos are secondary and that there are such big delays between one action and the next.

Megaton Musashi W: Wired is a return to form for Level-5 and an ambitious game which can be often overwhelming but still keep on engaging players with a solid narrative, awesome customizations and a straightforward battle system for fans of the mecha anime scene.

V Rising is one of the best ARPG experiences available today thanks to it's scalability and array of option on private and public servers.

Songs of Conquest is a game that we didn't expect: practically a new Heroes of Might & Magic with a totally different and much more interesting magic system and a leaner and dynamic structure.

Animal Well is an atypical and irreverent metroidvania that makes a point to overturn the most trite conventions of a genre giving more and more often signs of fatigue. It's impossible to stop at the credits: at each screen you want to push the darkness a little further, gradually revealing a world that can be gentle and ruthless at the same time. Never unjust, Animal Well rewards the spirit of observation and critical ability, constantly putting lateral thinking and the natural curiosity of human beings into play.

It may not be perfect, or exactly how any of us wanted it, but Homeworld 3 is a great game.

Dread Delusion is an old-fashioned RPG that focuses everything on exploration and freedom, hitting the mark. Exploring these magical and strange flying islands is fun and exciting and is an experience we recommend, unless the only thing you want is to run straight and fight all the time. In fact, the melee system and AI of enemies is trivial, just an extra in the middle of the rest of the game. We would also have liked a bit higher difficulty level, but overall with its never-too-large map and interesting missions, Dread Delusion is an excellent adventure that you should not ignore.

Solo Leveling: ARISE is a very good action RPG, packed with spectacular graphics and a solid gameplay but also short and repetitive missions.

Minimal, surreal, proud of its own identity but also far removed from the average expectation of a modern-day JRPG of this magnitude, SaGa Emerald Beyond represents a step forward in its own JRPG approach, but also to the side. A very distinct personality and a solid combat system keep it on its feet even in the face of a narrative context that is complex to frame.

MotoGP 24 has one of the best game physics of the series but it's held back by an erratic AI that controls the other drivers and is generally inaccessible to new players

World of Warship Legends PvP manages to simplify the formula of the Wargaming series and make it suitable for mobile platforms. The immediate and fun gameplay, however, is undermined by the multiplayer battles, which appear unbalanced by a mechanism inexorably tending towards pay to win.
