It is not the nostalgia that talks: it is the voice of a hand-crafted videogame.

Silksong is a work that should definitely be played by as many people as possible. It is an incredibly well-crafted, enjoyable, and satisfying product, sold at a retail price that is almost a steal considering the effort of the developers themselves. This, however, does not mean that it is the best metroidvania ever made, or that Team Cherry is the first development studio to achieve feats like this.

A good finale, maybe not the epic one everyone was waiting for. Halo Reach will make the fans rejoice, especially with its incredible multiplayer side.

It's a great shooter, but it won't be remembered as the best of this generation as some believed.

FIFA 18 is a very good football game, probably the best coming out this year, with new gameplay that is more slow-paced and gives more space to players with great technique. The AI is eventually more Human, but the keepers are worse than the previous year. FUT is great as usual, and The Journey two brings the new modes of FIFA to a whole new level.

It’s a gigantic game, with a gargantuan number of story-lines and missions, a crafting system that’s out of this world, and better gameplay when compared with its predecessor. The sheer quantity and quality of it all almost made us forget the bugs. Almost. After all, the number of glitches and hiccups we found in the game is pretty high too, and while this doesn’t really ruin the experience, it makes it imperfect. Basically, Fallout 4 is what we expected: a bigger, better, and smarter Fallout 3, and that is more than enough to make it great, even if it’s not the absolute masterpiece some were expecting.

This game is amazing and makes us wonder why Wii U is not selling well. If you are wondering what is the most fun game available on the next gen consoles, the answer is very simple: Mario Kart 8.

Pokémon Pokopia is a bold experiment that successfully blends multiple genres, resulting in a title with a very strong identity. While the main series has always been fueled by collecting and battling, here collecting remains, but combat gives way to management and reconstruction. There’s no pressure. No performance anxiety.

One of the greatest collection ever made.

More an experience than a game. It's a visual journey, short indeed but unforgettable. And not for everyone.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 meets its expectations, providing another High profile game for this exciting 2010. Though short, the campaign is spectacular and one of the best multiplayer experiences makes the title essential for all the fans of the genre. On the other hand, EA's shooter doesn't achieve perfection for the lack of any co-op mode, some small technical issues, but especially for the partial loss of the first Bad Company's originality.

New Super Mario Bros. U is maybe the best platform of the "New" series due to an inspired level design and lots of game modes. The Challenges are just what hardcore Mario fans were looking for, and are capable of pointing out the best elements of one of the most refined gameplays ever created. The last Mario adventure is, without doubt, a killer app. for the Wii U, even without an intensive use of the Wii U Gamepad.

It's a game that subverts the basics of the Metal Gear Series. It's brilliant, unpredictable, gigantic, ambitious, awe-inspiring, vain and imperfect. This game is Kojima, basically, and it really reaches incredible heights during its first half. The second part, though, has obvious structural problems, and the narrative never really reaches the levels of the best chapter in the saga, even if the final plot twist is pretty brilliant. This Metal Gear will divide the fanbase, maybe even more than the second Metal Gear Solid, but it remains an amazing game.

It's simply the best basket sim out there, better and better every year.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Super Mario Bros. Wonder shifts the focus away from the single-player adventure to introduce a set of multiplayer-oriented minigames that push the experience closer to party-game territory. The experiment works, but the limited amount of new content makes this update hard to recommend to everyone. New players should not hesitate, as this is the best version of the game available, while returning fans will enjoy it mainly if they appreciate quick, couch-multiplayer sessions or simply love Wonder enough to revisit it. Despite the modest additions, the core remains the acclaimed 2023 platformer, still an essential title for any Switch 2 owner.

F1 2013 is the best F1 simulator of this generation and another great hit from Codemasters.

A funny and compelling puzzle game, if you love the genre this is for you.

Without contenders, NBA 2K13 holds on it's crown. This is the best basketball game so far.

No Straight Roads is an outstanding action game with some rhythm game mechanics, filled with love for the music and an amazing art direction.

343 couldn't go wrong this collection and, of course, they did not. The Master Chief Collection is a package with lots of contents, which contains the best currently available versions of all the main adventures starring Master Chief.

It's exactly what the fans were waiting for: a technical masterpiece, filled with breathtaking fights, and a rich multiplayer. It's a shame that the narrative feels so unpolished and incomplete, limiting the overall experience.
