Alone in the Dark is undoubtedly an ambitious and researched reinterpretation, a tribute to the original game (and everything that came after) that delivers a new, compelling story, excellent acting performances, an interesting art direction, and nice puzzles but also a pretty sloppy combat design and outdated graphics.

Lightyear Frontier is a solid game already in Early Access, but still poor in content. A dozen hours or so are enough to get to the 'finale', but the problem is that the gameplay loop repeats itself too linearly, with no surprises or variations on the theme. It remains an enjoyable game for a few hours and absolutely succeeds in its intention of not being stressful, but those who are experts in the genre will find it too limited and may want to wait for a few more updates before approaching it. [Early Access Review Score = 65]

Outcast: A New Beginning is a game filled with ups and downs: on one hand, the freedom of movement granted by the jetpack and the speed at which you traverse Adelpha is exhilarating and somewhat refreshing, especially compared to many open-world games where even climbing over walls requires dedicated animations to consume time and inflate playtime; on the other hand, the inevitable burden of repetitiveness in some of the activities offered somewhat hampers the experience.

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story is a trip inside one of the greatest developers ever.

Expeditions offer a unique experience, in an already inimitable series.

Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic two-dimensional shooter that fully respects the gameplay cornerstones of Konami's saga. Fun, even in multiplayer, thanks to the excellent level design and the variety provided by the enemies. It is not entirely convincing due to its short longevity and some problems with the control system.

The Outlast Trials reinvents the saga's formula for cooperative multiplayer. During the first few games one can enjoy the level design and cooperation. Soon, however, repetitiveness and limited gameplay take over. Moreover, in single player it is too difficult to complete any mission.

Warframe on iOS is a great experience albeit with a few shortcomings. It's great to farm when you have time to spare but is best to start your Tenno journey on console or PC.

Manic Mechanics is a nice co-op couch party game that, while replicating the formula already seen in Overcooked and other similar games, retains its own identity, thanks in part to some design finesse and an interesting learning curve.

Unicorn Overlord is a visually gorgeous strategy RPG with a compelling narrative and one of the best combat systems in recent history.

Foamstars is fun and stylish, but it has a lot to prove in order to survive in a very competitive market. It's the lack of content and the premium economic model (with very expensive microtransactions) the biggest drawbacks we see in the foreseeable future. Today it's just fun.

Trails of Cold Steel III is a quintessential JRPG through and through but we advice to take your time and play through the entire Legend of Heroes series if you really want it to pay off in the end.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is an adventure with a deep and multifaceted plot. It's reminiscent of God of War, but takes a step forward in terms of narrative coherence compared to Santa Monica's title.

Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator is the typical gacha-style adaptation of a well-established RPG series, which brings with it the inevitable distortion of the classic structure. Those expecting a real JRPG will be shocked, but those who know what it is could find a good alternative, always within the perverse money- and time-grabbing mechanism.

Helldivers 2 is a wonder of game design, irony and fun with friends that is worth its price and has a bright future ahead of it.

Invincible: Guarding the Globe once again shows how a idle gameplay ties in with a free-to-play structure and gacha elements to result in a progression that proceeds as the game wants and not as the player wants, with all that that entails.

One of the most fun racing games around, but not at its full potential.

The Thaumaturge is presented as an RPG, but you should not expect great possibilities for character interpretation or a plot that at any moment can be heavily influenced by our choices. If this is not a problem, however, what remains is an excellent game with an interesting plot, which transports us to one of the best cities seen in a video game.

WWE 2K24 pays homage to forty years of WrestleMania with a Showcase mode that nostalgics will not fail to appreciate, features an extraordinarily large roster with over two hundred wrestlers and reiterates the relevance of My Rise with two new, exciting stories that they further enrich an already rather large structure including free performances, Universe, My Faction, My GM, the online sector and the Creation Suite. The experience proves to be very pleasant, even if it still carries some unresolved problems with the interactions, the balance and the technical quality of an increasingly impressive production, but which perhaps should pay more attention to the details.

Sons of the Forest is exactly what a survival video game enthusiast would want to find along their way. A year on, the title developed by Endnight Games now offers much deeper gameplay, which becomes even more intriguing once you leave the surface of the island, the true protagonist of an experience with deeply unsettling tones that will hardly leave you indifferent.

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster show how remaster an old game showing respect to the players.

Regency Solitaire 2 is a great way to relax and spend some time in 800's England. With appropriate period music, simple but effective graphics and engaging gameplay, this is one that will keep you glued to the screen for quite a while.

Promenade is the typical project that brings together different suggestions from well-known examples but which turns out to be something much more than the simple sum of the parts. A truly precious 2D platformer for its ability to amaze and entertain.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake is both an excellent opportunity for new players and entirely superfluous for those who already know the original.

Balatro is a poker-inspired roguelite that we cannot but recommend to lovers of the genre. Dense with content and challenges to complete, it has a dynamic gameplay, more strategic than you might think for a game also based on luck, and an aesthetically pleasing, if somewhat repetitive. Occasionally bad luck gets the better of you and you have to accept that, but it will make you want to play one more game.

Trails of Cold Steel IV is an epic finale to remember but the huge cast and anime tropes take their tolls on the narrative.

NBA Infinite arrives and surprises with the general quality of the simulation. What's rather strange is that it corresponds very precisely to the already present NBA 2K, offering an almost perfectly overlapping experience, rather than an alternative. There wasn't much need for another officially licensed sim with micro transactions, but some might prefer this one to the other.

Dicefolk is a roguelite that gives us power over randomness. We roll the dice, analyse the available moves and choose what our team will do as well as the opposing team. By playing on both sides of the fence, we can create more elaborate and fun strategies to field. Dicefolk is suitable for those who want to be challenged but also those who prefer not to play dozens of hours without gaining a single victory.
