    Battlefield 1 has some new great features, for example the War Stories for the single-player and Operations for the multi. The gameplay is brilliant, but fast, and sometimes seems not so integrated with the atmosphere of the Great War. Despite of some minor technical problems on the multiplayer, the game is graphically marvelous and the soundrtrack is as well.

    Some will say it's a "conservative" game, others that there's nothing new about it, some that it's a good game and nothing more. But all of them will spend hundreds of hours into it, and believe us, they will have fun. A lot of it.

    Pokemon X / Y is, undoubtedly, the evolution of the species. The latest work by Game Freak fits into one of the most solid structures ever created on the handheld console, in a series that needed important innovations to dispose of the outdated mechanics.

    Dirt 3 will please the fan of the brand, bestowing them with a lot of content, quality graphics and phisycs simulation.

    Everyone who calls himself a videogamer should try the Heavy Rain experience. Such a fresh and innovative point of view on home entertainment could give birth to an entire new genre. Technically superb, provided with a good story and an interesting control system, Quantic Dream's new title is really a twist in the videogaming culture. Still, some minor issues and a limited interactivity do not allow to praise it with full marks.

    Housemarque didn't make Returnal 2. They did something harder and, in many ways, more beautiful: they looked their previous game straight in the eye, acknowledged its flaws, and fixed them one by one without losing a single piece of what made it special. Saros knows exactly what it wants to be from the very first second, and every design decision proves it.

    Pikmin 4 is simply the biggest, most ambitious and good-looking title of the franchise yet: it offers the well known and loved gameplay of the series with a lot of twists and surprises, and at least three times the content squeezed in Pikmin 3. Definitely a must play for Switch owners.

    Spectacular, with an epic story and astonishing graphics: and yet, Final Fantasy XVI forgets what is really important for the series. It's impossibile to create a build and there's nothing important left for you to manage through the menus. Proper RPG options are gone, dungeons are just banal corridors, players are forced to play the entire game in easy mode and you can beat the game with literally no effort. There's a decent base for the future, but it's not enough to see a real rebirth for the saga.

    Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a collection that many will dislike by default due to a series of choices made by Nintendo, which have nothing to do with the quality of the games themselves or the restoration work carried out.

    Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is one of the best adventures in the series, capable of recreating the great atmosphere of the early days and offering players a story that fits well into the timeline.

    Marvel's Spider-Man is a huge tribute to the superhero. The original story is written around him and has great moments.

    Okami HD re-enacts on PS4 and Xbox One one of the most courageous and inspired game of the PS2 generation. An adventure that fuses Shinto mythology and and Japanese folklore into a "Zelda" structure, to develop a great painted legend. If the brush-based gameplay has aged very well, others minigames and some camera angles make evident it's a PS2 game. If you've never played Okami on previous consoles, you should buy it at once; if you already own it, it will attract you only if you're a collector.

    Absolum is one of those roguelikes that tells not so much the story it contains, but the one it evokes through its beautiful aesthetic style. A story made of difficult choices, of ambitions that challenge caution, of an authentic desire to leave a mark, however small, however fragile. And in a world where everything seems to rush forward without ever looking back, a side-scrolling beat ’em up that chooses to slow down and force you to think is a small miracle.
