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.

Endless Dungeon is a very well done mix of genres. It is a polished experience with some progression flaws.

SWORD ART ONLINE Last Recollection is the final chapter of the Underworld saga, with excellent innovations in the combat system but few from a technical point of view

Cut the Rope 3 reaffirms all the qualities of the series, offering a sequence of fun and generally undemanding puzzles in order to deliver an experience that may be short and lacking in depth, but is undoubtedly enjoyable and relaxing.

Beautiful girls lost in a post-apocalyptic, dark sci-fi world full of mechanical AI controlled entities: this is Crymachina plot and while it surely looks promising, its combat and structure makes for a average small-to-medium budget ARPG.

Agatha Christie - Murder on the Orient Express is a narrative adventure with puzzle interludes, which will appeal to Poirot fans, old and new, thanks to a good retelling of the original novel and a valuable final addition that expands on the familiar story. It's not meant for those who want a complex detective title to squeeze their little gray cells into, nor for those who want a state-of-the-art graphical presentation, but if you know what you're getting into you'll hardly be disappointed.

Cities Skylines 2 is the city builder we've been waiting for: beautiful to look at, complex in its systems, extraordinary in the construction and planning tools offered. The genre has never offered anything better, and this is just beginning...

Parabole has crafted another solid adventure which takes the players on a dense trip, without killing them at every corner.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder isn’t a masterpiece, but it’s still the best 2D Mario game of the last 25 years. It’s beautiful, weird and exhilarating: the Fethry Duck of the family.
