League of Evil 2 is a more of the same but still manages to be extremely entertaining thanks to small additions and a solid gameplay.

After dozens of hours, Marathon left me with something rare: a deep, renewed respect for a studio that, week after week, always seems on the brink of collapse. It’s not a perfect extraction shooter, nor an accessible one, let alone easy to love. But it is authentic and consistent. It’s a production that doesn’t seek compromise, that rewards dedication, punishes improvisation, and above all refuses to follow any trend.

Not exactly difficult when it comes to puzzles, but still permeated by the same magic we used to find in the great point-and-click adventures of old. Its only problem, really, it's that you'll be left wanting for more. DESPERATELY wanting for more.

Star Drift Evolution is genuinely fun and you will absolutely enjoy drifting in its low poly races.

Tales of Graces F Remastered is a game that might leave you somewhat indifferent if you look only and exclusively at the graphics. However, the numerous internal improvements, the novel options and the smoothing out of the edges typical of jrpg's of the old era, may bring a new audience to the saga or attract all those who for some reason skipped over this good and perhaps under-celebrated chapter.

Wreckfest is a very solid game that is been published after five years of early access. The impressive physics, the wonderful damage system and a plenty of competitions make Wreckfest a must have for this summer.

Final Fantasy VII is a JRPG masterpiece, bringing on Switch one of the most engrossing storylines ever.

Solid, fun and compelling, Blur is a great arcade racing game offline but most of all if played online.

Resistance: Retribution is a funny shooter. The lack of a free saving system, unoptimized controls and only average graphic quality don’t allow a full marks scoring, but it’s still a good buy for every PSP action fan out there.

Victoria 3 is a well-done, amazing, deep and potentially infinite grande strategy, exactly what we expected from Paradox.

A fizzy Breakout-style game with some puzzle mechanics and a fresh and colorful level design. It’s fun, even if it is wanting few extra contents and lack of longevity.

Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMix reminded us why the public is eagerly awaiting the third installment of the saga: the magic of this series is still vivid and exciting.

Battleheart is a brilliant production that you shouldn't miss: surprisingly deep, Battleheart will catch you with its terrific graphics and simple gameplay, granting hours of fun. Tons of items and great personalization features will keep you on your iPhone for quite some time.

A fast, fun and spectacular fighting game, rich in content and charisma. NetherRealm has a winner on his hands, but some not-so -smart gameplay choices and a wonky netcode stop it from reaching true excellence. Still, you can kick Supes'ass! That's enough of a reason to play Injustice.

Very competitive and rewarding experience, for gamers who ask an awesome mixture of tactics and action. Unfortunately the online multiplayer is suffering from what seems to be an rushed launch, but the value of the package is still great. Definitely a must buy if you still enjoy multiplayer gaming with friends in the same room.

Battlefield 4 is all about multiplayer. Forget the campaign with it's poor AI and it's lack of personality and instead enjoy one of the best online games out there.

Let's face the elephant in the room: Planescape Torment this is not. Still, we're talking about a very deep and rewarding CRPG that borrows some mechanics and game design choices from its famous ancestor and tries to walk a different path, making the player read and dialogue instead of mindlessly fighting. A good pick for old time D&D players, but the crown is still held by Pillars of Eternity.

It's the closest thing you can get to a masterpiece nowdays. Even if really simple in its gameplay, To the Moon tells a great and enchanting story about life.

Legend of Dead Kel is a great DLC. More than 8 hours of gameplay, new weapon quests and an exlusive new tower to build and govern. If you loved Reckoning don't miss this.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice demonstrates that videogames can be the perfect medium to tell a story about complex themes. The depiction of a disease like psychosis is believable and deep. The story works out very well, but the puzzles and the combat system are the game elements that push back the the overall quality of this very interesting project.

GRIME is a game that knows how to balance metroidvania and soulslike game mechanics. While the cryptic story unfolds, the game becomes harder in the second half, showing a bit of imbalance.

There's not enough new content to recommend a second buy for the ones that have already played it on PS4, but Disgaea 5 Complete remains the best option, right now, for all the Switch owners who love their strategy games.

It's customization, through thousands of equip pieces, the true heart of Torhclight. No coop and basic hack'n'slash combat make the rest just part of the average action RPG. Try before you buy.

Even though it's not as fresh as it was back when the first chapter launched, the base concept around which Danganronpa V3 revolves is still very strong, and, aided by brilliant writing and strong character design, makes this visual novel hard to miss for all the fans of the genre.

Shadowrun didn't need a revolution to impress, considering the base game was simple but tactical and well calculated. With Hong Kong, though, the developers went the extra mile, finely creating a great storyline, and an inspired background. We expect more enhancement in the gameplay for future DLCs and expansions, but for now we're fully satisfied.

There's no need to reinvent the wheel when all your fan are asking for just another cute platformer: this is what Hal laboratories must have thought, and the new Kirby adventure is charming and relaxing as the previous ones.

Live A Live is short and sweet, a surprisingly modern twist on JRPGs that Square and Nintendo luckily decided to bring back from the dead. it won't probably win any award for its narrative and surely there are far more vast and deep JRPGs out there, but this is nonetheless a very good choice for Japanese role playing games lovers.

IT has the kind of funny, light gameplay you'd expect from this kind of production. Beware of the bugs though, that we hope can be soon fixed.

As if one of the best titles of the GBA library wasn't enough, Nintendo and Alpha Dream have put a lot of effort in this new version of their classic, with a brand new (albeit short) campaign and a great job on the technical side: this is the way to introduce good old games to new audiences.

Merging the two core identities of the Assassin’s Creed franchise was no easy feat, but Ubisoft Quebec largely succeeded. The game boasts a vibrant open world, a wealth of activities, and a solid—if somewhat simplistic—combat system. However, where Assassin’s Creed Shadows stumbles is in its lackluster enemy AI, which often behaves irrationally, and its consistently low difficulty level, even at the highest setting.

Like the previews chapter, New Art Academy is a great painting game. You can learn just by playing this game!

This is just the second half of the same game played six months ago on the same platform, and, as such, is a solid and perfectly enjoyable old style JRPG with some rough edges and little courage. If you love the saga overall, it cannot be missed.

We waited a bit before giving a vote to Splatoon, but after three months, the game is full of new weapons, has some awesome new modes, and it's still really, really fun. It's a WiiU killer app, one of those games that are not only extremely original, but so well made they utterly deserve a big and supporting community. If you have a WiiU and want an atypical shooter, this is the game for you.

The Kids we were tells a compelling story in a fascinating setting, but takes very few risks gameplay-wise.

Little Clem continues to grow appreciably, even if those around her continues to give her too much weight and too much impact to the decisions of a group that should still be totally independent from the wishes of a child.

It’s the best football managing game around, no contest. Every year it gets better too, with refined mechanics, more complexity and steps in the right direction. Some historical flaws are still there, unfortunately, like unrealistic values for some players, or boring press conferences. Iron out the kinks and it will become perfect.

Media Molecule took an already good game and made it even better on PS4, fully using the new Dual Shock features and the added power of Sony's home console. It's a beautiful and inspired remake, more than a remaster, and one that will be appreciated by any kind of gamer, adult or child.

A deep and satisfying experience, if you'll have enough patience. A true shame for the endless and sometimens uninteresting dialogues and an overall cheap presentation.

Even if with a porting that adds little in terms of new content, Tokyo Mirage Sessions arrives on Switch as the same, great JRPG it was on Wii U. Just don't expect to be surprised again if you've already played it four years ago.

It’s an incredibly simple and intuitive game, but creating such a fun experience with this kind of simplistic gameplay is a feat that only a truly brilliant developer can achieve. Get this game, it costs only 3 dollars and it’s fun, fast, and extremely intelligent.

Capcom has put together yet another fun and witty game, that makes us use the gray matter and will please children and adults. However, it should also be said that, several years from the first game and with only few changes added from time to time, the series may need something new very soon.

A deep game, with an excellent audio and a story to tell: Lone Survivor is a great game, an experience to remember for long.

WWE 2K24 continues to refine the formula introduced two years ago, and the overall improvements in the package are more impactful compared to those seen between 2022 and 2023, making this title the best interpretation of WWE wrestling by Visual Concepts (at least until next year, that is). The Showcase mode is certainly a standout feature for long-time fans, given its celebration of Wrestlemania (despite the limitations highlighted in the article), and the two MyRise stories offer more interesting twists than usual. Whether these and the few other novelties in the rest of the package are enough to justify the purchase for those who already own one of the more recent releases remains highly subjective, but we're still talking about the best wrestling title in recent times, albeit with the regret of not yet seeing that leap towards the next-gen that we've been waiting for for years.

If you think about Mankind Divided, A Criminal Past feels like a more of the same: the plot is nothing special and the level design is not as brilliant as it was in the main game, but the prison is a fascinating scenery and the way you have to deal with the lack of augmentations make things way more interesting.

It might not be the turning point in the series, but still Advanced Warfare is a good Call of Duty, and were it not for the classic defects of the series, especially with regard to the single player campaign, this time we could really talk about a great success.

Ignore the defects of the AI or the small problems related to animations, and get carried away in one of the most terrifying adventures of the latest years. Undoubtedly the best game based on Alien and the only one who has ever really been able to perfectly represent the original idea by ​​Ridley Scott.

It's a pity that Capcom did not invest time and money in this collection, as these are among the best titles that have ever graced the Nintendo DS. No extras, no localization for the Italian market and a steep price cannot be ignored.

Dragons return for one last time in The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr - Dragonhold, final DLC of the Season of the Dragon. Great job, ZeniMax.

Hunt Showdown on PS4 manages to deliver an amazing tense atmosphere and it's fun to play, but the UI and some engine limitations make the experience a little bit more lackluster than it should be, for its price.

An amazing fighting game for veterans and newcomers alike.

Focused on Chloe and Max, and relatively calm if you compare it to the past chapters, Episode 3 is a narrative masterpiece thanks to its final phase and the emotions it can instill in the player. This is definitely an episodic adventure you should keep on your radar.

Among the best titles on the Nintendo E-Shop, without a doubt, Fast Racing Neo is a fast (duh) and tight racer that nostalgic gamers will definitely liked. Especially those that loved the F-Zero and Wipeout series.

Faeria is a delightful card game, with a board management mechanic that reminds of Settlers of Catan. The work of Abrakam represents the real alternative to the already full selection of card videogames on the market. Highly recommended.

Tiny Troopers has no particular ambitions if not reincarnate the spirit of Cannon Fodder with a gameplay geared to maximum immediacy.

It really emproves on its predecessor's original formula. The simulation feels more tight and controlled, and at the same time gifted with an incredible first person driving experience. It might not be suited to simulation fanatics, for its sometimes forgiving and inaccurate phisycs, but it is once again an original and thrilling take on Turismo driving. Excellent graphics, Autolog, a long career mode and some multiplayer goodness make it worth all of its price.

F1 23 improves in many aspects even though it doesn't excel in others. The return of Braking Point is highly appreciated. We also appreciate the changes in the driving model, as well as the improvements on the controller and steering wheel side. The increased force feedback gives hope for future developments. We are a bit disappointed with the technical department, which could definitely do more, especially on the new consoles. We are certain that these limitations are a consequence of the game being released on previous-generation consoles as well. Unfortunately, it's a compromise almost necessary to satisfy a wider user base. All in all, though, we are facing a game that always manages to achieve a good final result.

Yakuza Kiwami and Kiwami 2 on Nintendo Switch 2 are like two novels rebound after many years: they don’t tell us anything we don’t already know, but they do it with a dignity and elegance that withstand the passage of time.

Borderlands 4 is a statement of intent. It’s not the chapter that rewrites the rules of the game, but the one that refines them with the confidence only a mature franchise can have.

Even on PlayStation 4, Cities: Skylines is still the greatest city builder around.

Ghostrunner is intriguing and compelling for perfectionist players looking for a challenge, but its design is improvable.

Star Wars: Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2 is not just a well-executed port but a technical and symbolic statement. It proves that Nintendo’s new console can host modern AAA experiences without embarrassing compromises, standing alongside high-quality conversions like Cyberpunk 2077 and Street Fighter 6. Ubisoft delivers a benchmark release that doesn’t chase more powerful consoles but asserts the platform’s technical dignity in the competitive landscape.

The Monster Hunter Stories HD package will be received very differently depending on which platform you play on: on Sony consoles and PC, these Monster Hunter twist to the Pokémon formula has its right to be, and will mostly appeal to younger audiences. On the other side, Switch players won't get much value out of it.

F1 22 isn't a revolution because we didn't need one. What was good in F1 21 is back here, with some new adds and the new still embryonic and yet promising F1 Life mode.

Fortnite is a well-crafted mix, a game that takes all from Minecraft and Left 4 Dead to create something new. Unfortunately, this action builder from Epic Games could show everything in the few first hours. Also, it's very unbalanced in chasing the money from the "free" users.

All the glorious Castlevania gameplay with new effects, better graphics and the two missing DLC from the previous version.

A deep, scary, fascinating adventure with a mind-blowing story, a great acting and a positive utilization of soundtrack; still, there are some little flaws in the plot, and the gameplay is quite classic. Anyway, long story short: this is a hell of a game.

Weird West is smaller in comparison to Colantonio's previous games like Prey and Dishonored 2, but it's nonetheless ambitious and leaves a lot of choice in the hands of the player. A little gem that needs just a little bit of extra polish to shine even brighter.

A captivating and fascinating journey, but an improvable game.

Overcooked 2 is one of the most awesome party games you can play at the moment. Excluding some repetitive defects, the title offers a great experience in single player and many hours of multiplayer fun.

Hunt: Showdown is an atypical competitive shooter. A different way to see the online FPS videogames, with great settings and PvP-PvE features.

We strongly recommend Ilomilo to all those players that want to try a different experience, made up of fun characters, colorful worlds and a story that could have been written and interpreted freely by our imagination.

The third chapter of Atelier Ryza is a pleasant adventure to say goodbye to Reisalin Stout and all her friends, until we figure out what the future of the gaming franchise will be.

If you don't hate the genre and want to escape pirates, win handsome princesses, raise taxes, take gardening experts, build cities and much, much more, make yourself a gift and buy Anno: you will not regret it.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a fun and quality game that has managed to entertain us longer than expected. Considering the price of about 20 euros lower than normal titles for Nintendo Wii U and excellent ideas fielded by level designers of this game, it is a title that we recommend.

Escalation manages to improve many aspects of the past Ashes of the Singularity, it brings two new campaigns that deserve to be played this time, many new units and the strategic zoom. Unfortunately there are still many problems with the path-finding, that cause a lot of frustration.

Fire Emblem Echoes doesn't make a strong first impression, but keeps entangling the player fight after fight, for each hard-earned victory. It also brings to the table many ideas from the original title, and a slew of fresh air in a series that has seen four games in the last four years.

The quality has been fluctuating from episode to episode, but the closure makes up for it, with some great moments and a satisfying conclusion (even if some may not be happy with the finale). Life is Strange is, in the end, a truly great story, well narrated and with high production values. Bravo Dontnod.

Despite the slow progression, the new mechanics are able to keep the player entertained for a long time. This is a game that rewards the most devoted players.

Operencia: The Stolen Sun keeps on Nintendo Switch everything that worked fine in the previous release and is a surprisingly well-crafted port.

A great and fun arcade shooter. A little gem that needs to be supported and expanded by Arrowhead. The game presents some really nice ideas in a too-tiny, and repetitive, universe.

The last entry in the Layton series maintains the magic and the witty puzzles, and closes the saga with an interesting and mysterious storyline. If you loved the previous entries you'll love this one too, it's quite the closure.

This stand-alone expansion is convincing, has a good longevity and boasts a non linear Campaign that will please many fans of the series, although the save system, the price and the difficulty are flaws to be considered.

Rune Factory 4 takes a second chance with this Special edition, and while this is definitely the best version of the game, it's hard to recommend it to anyone who's already played the original.

Thanks to a very good story, Finding Paradise is another masterpiece from Kan Gao. Different from To The Moon, this new game explores the great themes of human nature, and it's absolutely unforgettable.

We would really like to see the crew at Falcom get a bigger budget to give full speed to this world, this characters and this combat system. Trails into Reverie is a tremendously solid JRPG and a worthy follow up to the Erebonian tetralogy. Just beware: you need to have played some of the previous titles to really appreciate the story.

We were kinda disappointed by the “Rachel Amber” mystery and this chapter’s pacing, but it’s still an enjoyable ride that closes with a decent cliffhanger.

Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 1: The Penal Zone is a good start for the third series from Steve Purcell's pen. It really makes you want the next chapters right away.

Sunset Overdrive made us laugh and smile, revealing a unique value for Xbox One. The colorful world, many of the jokes and the original gameplay wowed us, accompanied by satisfactory graphics and lots of fun.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a small but heartfelt tribute to fans of the Marvel universe. It’s an old-school experience that shows once again how the world of video games never gets tired of the arcade feel of the past. There’s a bit of disappointment about the lack of extra content, but Tribute Games’ effort is still something to admire.

Thanks to its amazingly crafted world, Stormland is one of the most interesting VR experiences. It may lack some variety (and the stealth mechanics are more than improvable), but it shows the path to follow for captivating VR games.

The first part of Ties That Bing shows new characters and a tougher, charming Clementine which appears to be more interesting. Still, Javier, his family and the other characters still have to demonstrate their true potentiality.
