Warcraft Rumble is a great tower offense game that draws heavily from the Warcraft universe but is thoroughly accessible even by those unfamiliar with the settings and characters of the series.

We were pleasantly surprised by Robocop: Rogue City. Given Teyon's past, the risk of a dubious quality spin-off was just around the corner, yet the Polish team showed remarkable ability to evolve, pulling an extremely respectful title of the first movies out of the hat and capable of entertaining. Ok, we are far from the quality levels of the genre's peaks, and there is a lot to work on the technical department, yet the fact that there is finally a title on the market capable of capturing the satirical spirit of Verhoeven's film is undoubtedly great news, especially for those who appreciate its underlying message.

The Talos Principle 2 is the perfect sequel that expands upon the original game and addresses the issues it had in order to improve as much as possible. It is well-written, features clever puzzles, although in some cases they might be a bit too easy, and engages players from start to finish, skillfully blending its elements. Like the first chapter, it doesn't leave anyone indifferent, raising numerous thought-provoking questions that deserve to be addressed. Alternatively, it can also be just a delightful stroll between one puzzle and the next.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a must-have chapter for all fans of Kazuma Kiryu and the classic Yakuza formula, which is reintroduced in the game without variation beyond the new Agent fighting style, which is very dynamic and fun to use. It's a pity that the story takes place almost exclusively among the streets of Sotenbori, that the limited length of the campaign affects some important characterizations, and that the graphics look rather dated by now.

We know Sports Interactive's strategy. The company has consistently introduced small innovations that have improved and deepened each chapter of its legendary series, that's why, even if the new features are not very noticeable, Football Manager 2024 is the best game the studio has produced, at least until next year.

Logical consequence of a franchise built on the accumulation of characters and robots, Mobile Suit Gundam UC Engage has what it takes to excite big fans of the anime in question thanks to its collector's spirit, but its structure remains uninspired and the combat system a little confusing.

The Invincible is exactly what it wants to be: an extremely focused narrative adventure. The story is great and the characters interesting. Expect a linear narrative at its heart, with multiple endings.

EA SPORTS WRC marks two significant comebacks: Codemasters returning to develop a rally-themed game and a driving model closely resembling the experience in Dirt Rally 2.0. These two factors alone make it the best rally game in recent years.

WarioWare: Move It! represents another success in the saga dedicated to Super Mario's nemesis. The ingredients that have made the brand's fortune, including the bizarre art design, are back. In addition, the new mini-games entertain and surprise. Super fun in single player, sensational in multiplayer.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R is an incredible remake with tons of QoL improvements, new features and smart additions. It feels too much at times but this is what a remake should be and Star Ocean really deserved to shine once in a while.

Song of Nunu falls short on the quality that Riot Forge has demonstrated over the titles it has made. While it has a touching and heartfelt story, its gameplay feels old, uninspired and boring. The usual cast of side characters gets a smile on the faces of League of Legends fans but as a whole this game is a disappointing step in the opposite direction.

Jusant is a peculiar and not unpleasant experience, but it mostly feels like a wasted opportunity. The climbing system, with all its little systems of interaction, generates a smooth, very simple gaming experience, but one that wears out quickly and without ever a real peak of playful intensity. The tower is a beautiful place to discover, both visually and narratively, but you have to be careful: losing a handful of collectables risks making for a very limited experience, as you don't discover anything by simply moving forward.

EA Sports UFC 5 will not fail to excite fans of MMA and combat sports in general, thanks to the new features introduced for the gameplay and the improved graphics.

Little Goody Two Shoes is a creative adventure that's delightful to delve into, even though the fairy tale quickly turns into a nightmare.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is, first and foremost, a beautiful missed opportunity. If you are a fan of both survival games and The Lord of the Rings, we still recommend you step into the armor of a dwarf and experience what the studio has crafted, but the game is far away from achieving any modern standards in survival experiences, so stay away from it if you're not into Tolkien works.

Laika: Aged Though Blood is a gorgeous metroidvania on wheels with amazing combat and soundtrack, a truly astonishing gem that is simply a must play.

Headbangers: Rhythm Royale is an amazing rhythm game with a Battle Royale twist that's perfect for an evening with friends online but it's going to need new content to stay relevant.

World of Horror is a game of contradictions that result not always solvable: on the one hand, we have a plot based on the presence in the world of unspeakable horrors; on the other, you pass the game to manage objects and statistics, trying to take control over what should be, by definition, uncontrollable. World of Horror travels between opposites and finds no balance, but it remains an interesting work for those who want to experience a horror adventure strongly anchored to tabletop role-playing games and have a passion for the exquisite horrors coming our way from Japan.

We are certain of this: depending on the approach and perspective of the player, Alan Wake 2 can either be a timeless masterpiece or a cumbersome game with tiring gameplay. We have tried to position ourselves exactly in the middle: while unreservedly appreciating the incredible work done by Remedy on the narrative front and the brilliance infused into some sequences that will forever be etched in our memory, we cannot overlook a series of deficiencies in gameplay that undermine the depth of the survival horror component and the variety of this action-adventure. At the same time, however, there is one thing that will unite everyone: artistically, aesthetically, and technically, no one can match it, and Alan Wake 2 deserves to be observed, at least once, even if just from a distance.

Without forgetting the power and particularities of individuals, Saltsea Chronicles defines itself first and foremost as an adventure capable of putting the group and the good of the community at the center: protecting its most vulnerable members is a priority for the larger group. It's a game which questions the models of oppression that dominate our society. Indicating a different future, perhaps better, sailing with sublime dignity on the waters of the salt sea.

Moonring is the best way a dream can come true. It's a new old game packed with features.

Gargoyles Remastered was a chance to improve on a game that was more beautiful to look at than to play through. Instead it's still beautiful to look at and even worse to play through.

F1 Manager 2023 doesn't represent the evolutionary step that could be expected after Frontier's good debut in the difficult world of Formula One management games. The refinements are marginal and could easily have been made with a patch job on the previous title. Furthermore, the additions are limited and do not significantly improve the gaming experience. While overall a better game than last year, it cannot be recommended to anyone who already owns F1 Manager 2022.

Designed for true crime lovers and some escape room enthusiasts, Scene Investigators is a truly thought-provoking investigative game.

Just Dance 2024 is still fun and full of 40 new songs, but reconfirms the evolution towards the subscription service.

Mortal Kombat: Onslaught tries to capitalize on the popularity of the series and its many characters by imprisoning them in the structure of an all-too-traditional gacha, with automatic fights and inevitable paywalls.

Ghostrunner 2 is the perfect sequel: it improves on everything that made the first one great while innovating a great deal in the second half of the game: a true cyberpunk hit that keeps the first person platformer genre alive.

It's hard to separate the two souls of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, because it's glaringly obvious how the one put together by Konami is a mere commercial operation, but at the same time it represents the only way to play a series of great classics of undeniable value.
