Moonglow Bay is that sort of game that we could call "an experience" more than a simple video game. This is not always a good sign, often it's the opposite, but this time its digression from fishing to the great questions of life works so well that can enrich the (very) simple gameplay.

NBA 2K22 Arcade Edition introduces new contents and updated teams, redesigning most of the interface to offer an even better basketball experience.

This is a great party game, playable with every pad and controller, with one or more consoles. If you want a title to play in multiplayer, especially with “casual gamers”, this might be a great choice: better than Super Mario Party, maybe.

Happy Game is a new gem crafted by Amanita Design. It deserves to be played, even if you don't like adventure games.

An overly simplified simplification that winks at the audience of casual players displeasing the old ones is at the same time the cross and the delight of the new chapter of Disciples. Other than this, the "role-playing" developments of the plot could have been more effective.

Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water celebrates twenty years of Fatal Frame by remastering a game that felt already dated back in 2015 but still delivers an intense atmosphere.

It's hard to find a fitting category for Spookware in the video game market, and this is a good thing. Surely, WarioWare is a clear inspiration for this game, but Spookware is also something different and new, with a strange atmosphere that can be perfect for Halloween.

Smart, minimal, fast and engaging, Dungeon Encounters is a good old-school JRPG experience, with a hardcore soul that arises after some playtime. Maybe even too much hardcore.

A bad conversion for a bad title.

AI: The Somnium Files is another brilliant adventure from Kotaro Uchikoshi, that deepens its narrative structure at the price of loosening a bit of its puzzle design. All in all, it's a compelling interactive story that deserves to be played.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is exactly what a fan would want from a Guardians of the Galaxy tie-in. In the game you can only control Star-Lord, but the adventure developed by Eidos Montreal boasts a brilliant script, which effectively exploits the dynamics that made the movies so successful.

Age of Empire IV is everything a fan of the series could wish for: it renews the formula without overdoing it and respecting the past, it offers four unforgettable campaigns and the multiplayer is bound to shine. Welcome Back AOE!

There are moments of real horror in Shadow Corridor: these fragments and its strange atmosphere alone could satisfy the horror fan, but as a game there's not much more than a collection of scares.

Tandem: A Tale of Shadows is a good game, which will be liked by lovers of puzzle games and those of gothic fairy tales.

House of Ashes is a decent step forward for a series that also requires adjustments to hit the target. The third chapter of the Dark Pictures Anthology grows better narratively and in the writing of dialogues.

Bonfire Peaks is an experience with an important underlying message but some shortcomings in game design make the game heavier than it could have been.

Klang 2 is a good game that completely relies on how much you get involved with the soundtrack and visual style.

Phoenix Point: Behemoth Edition is a solid turn-based strategy game, which in this version can count on the addition of four DLCs that further increase the contents and therefore the duration of the experience. However, controls can be very tricky and cumbersome on console, while loading times are pretty long.

Song in the Smoke is a compelling blend of survival and adventure, technically modest but enhanced by an excellent use of virtual reality.

Unsighted arrives like a bomb in the metroidvania genre that has been delighting fans over the years. Presented and released quietly, the work of Pixel Punk is an excellent reflection on our planet in a mix of situations that works splendidly and surprise for balance and the ability to mix everything.

Fortunately, Dying Light Platinum Edition for Nintendo Switch is a successful porting for Nintendo's hybrid. Despite the obvious and inevitable need to downgrade, the portable version remains enjoyable with a huge amount of content and a sufficiently solid frame rate.

Quotation forthcoming.

Fresh, intense and challenging without being complex; that's how we would define Inscryption. Mullins' adventure, published by Devolver Digital, is a card game but also an escape room. The card battles are fast, fun and extremely varied and in the background there is also an interesting, exciting, well-acted plot.

Crysis Remastered Trilogy is an excellent collection as a whole, which allows you to play the three chapters that make up the series with more modern graphics, capable of taking advantage of even the most performing video cards. Of course, it is interesting to note how you start with an excellent title (Crysis), moving on to a decent one and nothing more (Crysis 2) to get to a really great one (Crysis 3), but honestly we do not recommend you to sacrifice any of the three (they are can also be purchased individually) in case you decide to take the trilogy, because in any case they form a unique story, which is worth living in full, once you are inside. It must also be said that the experience as a whole remains identical to that of the originals, so those who have already lived it will not find great incentives to do it again, apart from the graphic ones.

Soccer Manager 2022 is just an iterative evolution on the last one, but in a game free-to-play and structured upon consecutive seasons we can expect that. Its features are almost the same as Soccer Manager 2021, with a good depth in its mechanics but some annoying consequences of its freemium model.

The soul of the title, completely conservative, draws heavily from the material of the first chapter of the series, updating it only up to a certain point and never fully convincing: the solution certainly manages to satisfy the fans who already appreciated the experience. five years ago on PlayStation Vita, but struggling to convince everyone else. The sector is full of similar productions, much more inspired and cared for: both from the point of view of the gameplay (which also shows some creative flashes) and from the graphic-technical one, the latter really mediocre. Of course, the narrative itself might attract some curious: the conflict between the virtual and the real world, for some reason, is always captivating.

Despite the good will of the developer, The Good Life simply can't make it to the sufficiency. Unfortunately, too many design and technical problems keep this game far from a decent gaming experience. There are a couple of good things to mention, but are overshadowed by unexplainable design mistakes.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles is very faithful to the anime, with an excellent use of cel shading for the characters and a couple of notable locations, although severely limited in structure and interactions. However the story campaign is very short and you're going to beat it in a few hours.
