A Space for the Unbound is a little gem that no one should miss.

Atomic Heart is a brilliant game, that is able to mix some beloved game mechanics in its own way, in order to make you experience an intriguing journey that will make you wonder how and when will this universe be expanded in the future.

Pharaoh: A New Era is a good example of how to make a good and respectful remake, improving where it's needed but without changing all that already worked.

Star Wars fans will love this, but don't expect anything innovative for VR games in this one.

A captivating rhythm game that, with tons of contents, will make your Final Fantasy's heart beat fast.

Yes, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio could have redone this with the Dragon Engine and yes, it plays exactly like the original, which is a game from nine years ago, but Like a Dragon Ishin! is still a delight for both newcomers and old time fans alike.

Overall, looking at the quality of the writing, the measures taken to satisfy certain segments of the public who had criticized the predecessor, the visual splendor and the magnificence of the combat system, Octopath Traveler II is not only a first-rate JRPG, but also a superior product to its direct prequel in many ways.

It may not be the "Monster Hunter killer" many people were waiting for, but Wild Hearts has some good ideas that would have just needed more time to reach their maximum potential.

Horizon: Call of the Mountain is an interesting experience that shows the potential of PS VR2 extremely well. Despite so, its combat system is way more intriguing and compelling than its exploration based on climbing – and yes, you can expect to climb a lot here.

Blanc has some great ideas and an amazing art direction, but its gameplay lacks depth and the level design is not so brilliant.

Wanted: Dead brings with it a series of non-negligible problems that touch all game sectors, from the very dated technical one, to the design now out of our time, up to crucial aspects such as AI and balance of the combat system . Hardcore players of the action genre will certainly find attraction from such a game concept, but they will have to deal with all the enormous limitations shown in the review.

Football and nostalgia are at the core of Retro Goal and make it work despite some design flaws.

Deliver Us Mars tells an intriguing story, but its gameplay is lackluster and the experience on PS5 is plagued by some technical issues that prevent if from being way more enjoyable than it actually is.

Conquest of Eo brings SpellForce closer to 4x than to traditional RTSs. Despite this choice, the game still lacks something to feel as fresh as it could have.

Hogwarts Legacy is an experience of mammoth proportions, really difficult to summarize in a few words. A meticulous reproduction of Hogwarts, its intricate labyrinths, its infinite secrets, is accompanied by a rich and multifaceted game structure, which will make you feel like real Hogwarts students for the first time. The game is to all intents and purposes what a Harry Potter fan has always dreamed of. Even those who have never followed the adventures of the wizard, however, will find an engaging adventure, with a game world that is nothing short of fascinating. We really hope this is the start of a bigger project, because it would be a shame to limit such a successful formula to a single game.

Cannibal Abduction is an ode to the slasher movies of the '80s and the classic survival horrors of PSOne era. Too bad for its structural and gameplay limits.

Garden In! is a simulation game that perfectly succeeds in its goal of transporting the player to a different dimension where caring for the plants and yourself are the only things that matter.

Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythmic adventure full of action, humor and love for videogames, which no fan of the genre should miss.

It’s really a beautiful thing that Valiant Hearts: Coming Home exists today. It’s a blessing because is both the sequel-conclusion to one of the most beloved and didactically valuable games ever produced by Ubisoft, and the opening ram for a different way to publish games. However, this must not blind from evident flaws like low duration, low difficulty and some plot issues, such as the excessive dependence to its prequel.

Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake is a 3D platform that fans of the cartoons will enjoy, even if it lacks that stroke of genius that would have allowed it to be more memorable.

Dread Templar pays a rocking homage to the classics of the FPS genre, delivering an experience made of pure adrenaline and nostalgia.

Dead Space returns with a remake that knows well how to improve the original game. Newcomers can now play the best version of the beloved survival horror classic.

Season: A Letter to the Future is a unique narrative experience, which reminds us how precious every single moment of life is as we face a season on the verge of its end. You will be captured by the atmosphere of the game and it will be difficult to detach yourself until the epilogue; at the same time, however, it is a journey to be played at a slow pace, enjoying the landscape views and the memories left by the characters who have inhabited this world, without the rush to get to the end credits. Kind of how one should live, after all.

Warlander feels like a melting pot of different mechanics, but with its own personality. Unfortunately, not everything fell into the right place during the development, but it's an interesting attempt nonetheless.

Forspoken is a game of ups and downs. The title is much more focused on the story than on the open world component and this is not a bad thing at all. The narrative is enjoyable, but not without flaws, while the open world is very classic in style without particular flashes of originality.

Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider reminds of great classic games like Shinobi and Strider, demonstrating how the genre is still alive and kicking.

Fire Emblem Engage is a great celebration of a more than 30 years old franchise, and also one of the best looking Switch games of the last months. We dare to say it's not one of the best episodes in the franchise, but it is, nonetheless, a great SRPG if you have at least fifty hours to invest in it.

Lone Ruin is a spell-based roguelike twin-stick shooter with a focus on replayability, but it doesn't always deliver on its promises.

Despite some flaws, like an improvable storytelling, One Piece Odyssey surely is the best One Piece game to date, even if the bar set by previous entries was pretty low to begin with.

Warhammer lovers will surely enjoy Darktide, despite it feels more like a game still in the early access phase than a finished and already polished one.

Chained Echoes is simply one of the best games of the genre, worthy to be remembered like the others iconic classics.

World War 3 is an intriguing alternative to some well-known multiplayer FPSs.

Bigger and better perfectly fits for River City Girls 2, that manages to improve what the previous entry achieved.

Despite being eye-catching with its amazing art direction, Aka doesn't manage to captivate the player and it feels more like a mix of not-deep-enough gameplay mechanics.

Despite some good ideas, Soccer Story fails to deliver in some of its design choices, feeling like a first but deeply improvable step.

In Nightmare is the embodiment of a good story dragged down in a pit of really bad gameplay ideas.

To break a curse placed upon her, a young girl must venture into the haunted streets of her town at night to search for her lost memories while evading the twisted spirits that lurk in the darkness.

Despite being often repetitive, High On Life manages to impress with off-the-wall humor from the creator of Rick and Morty.

Crossfire: Legion tries not so hard to find its own way for the heart of RTS' fans, but despite being a fully enjoyable game, it lacks personality in basically everything. You can have fun with its campaign and online modes - if you can stand the annoying pathfinding that will plague your army – but it's hard to imagine Legion being remembered in the long run.

Blacktail mixes folklore and an original story in a compelling way, offering an interesting experience despite something lacking in its core gameplay.

The graphics sector does not magically become something-other than what it was, but the game performs well both in Ray-Tracing and in Performance, allowing you to experience the adventure to the fullest of the possibilities offered by today's technologies, without rebuilding it from scratch.

Smurfs Kart does too little to make you fall in love with it and, despite some details that Smurfs' fans will surely notice, it doesn't manage to offer enough to make you feel entertained for long.

Arkanoid is a legend that never dies, but its take on the battle royale formula is plagued by some inconsistencies that make the game not as compelling as it could have been.

Dragon Quest Treasures builds on the legacy of old Dragon Quest Monsters titles, making exploration and treasure hunting the pillars of its gameplay. It's a solid effort for youg player and a celebration of the 30-year franchise it belongs to, but also too simplistic and easy for long time fans of the series.

Need for Speed Unbound is a good mix of cartoon characters, graffiti and frantic racing, but nothing more.

Despite some balancing problems that simplify the game difficulty, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 - Reunion is a work of love that respects the original game and its unforgettable story.

Sovereign is not the next big entry in the grand strategy horizon and it isn't even trying to be: simpler and more approachable than most of its rivals, the game feels a bit hasty in some of its core mechanics and in recreating the historical context, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.

We have tons of roguelites on the market right now, but Ship of Fools manages to feel unique in its own way.

The Callisto Protocol is the best start for a new survival horror series to date. Schofield, Papoutsis and the other veterans at Striking Distance Studios have managed to create a new nightmare with a very bright future ahead.

Independent narrative adventure game Goodbye World makes an attempt to address significant issues like friendship, the struggles of youth, and the issues facing the video game industry, but without fully succeeding. The game's limited and very brief gameplay fails to pique the player's interest in the subjects it covers, despite having attractive pixel art graphics and a minigame within the game itself.

Marvel's Midnight Suns is a successful experiment: mixing up both Marvel's worlds and a soul that comes directly from X-COM, the game manages to offer a layered and smart gameplay that, even if we can't say that everything is always at the right place and at the right pace, works and entertains amazingly.

It's a pity that Square Enix and Forever Entertainment had both settled for a (too) faithful remake of a game that was fascinating and difficult but also unbalanced and often unfair. Little things like new menus, new tutorials and a slew of QOL options could have made this a much better game overall. The way it is now, it's only recommended to hardcore long-time fans.

Just Dance 2023 is a two-faced production: on one hand, it's hard to not appreciate what's becoming a new beginning for the series. On the other, removing so many features that were in the previous chapters will certainly disappoint some fans.

The Chant is an interesting first step for Brass Token studio.

A delightful take to the stories of all the dogs that are in the history of the conquest of Space.

Even if it's far from perfect, The Entropy Centre is an interesting experience and its puzzles are satisfying.

Evil West doesn't even try to reinvent the wheel, but is pretty enjoyable although some technical flaws that we hope will be fixed in the coming weeks.

Despite having to adapt to Switch, as it comes from VR devices, Aftermath Collection is a short but interesting experience and we wish that the developers may have the chance to work further on this idea in a new episode, in the coming future.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is the season finale that tries to make forget the ups and down of the series. This time around pays homage to the great slasher movies of early eighties, but the story is too weak and the gameplay limitations hold back the developer's ambitions.

Scarlett and Violett, in all their hicupps and issues, try to do something new for the franchise. We can't definitely say that they are good at everything they do (not at all) and they still run pretty bad on Nintendo Switch, but some of their ideas are way more entertaining than what we saw in Sword and Shield. And, maybe, in Sun and Moon, too.

Goat Simulator 3 makes no prisoners and comes out as a fun and non-stop parody of modern open world games. Some of its ideas are way better than others and it lacks that sense of surprise that we got with the first game, but it delivers on its mission to make you laugh again and again.

Floodland is an interesting post-apocalyptic city-building experience, but it lacks depths in some of its core mechanics.

Unlike Limbo and Inside, Somerville looks like an experimental and unfinished project with a confused story and many gameplay hiccups.

Harvestella is more than the sum of its parts, but it tries to merge some different gameplay souls into one nonetheless, resulting in a lack of depth in any of these.

Even if it's not a particularly ambitious production, Pentiment is a small gem that shows all the love for the late Middle Ages and its art in every single aspect.

The Last Hero of Nostalgaia pays homage to soulslike genre while telling a funny story with a lot of good irony. Nonetheless, the overall quality is too low for a demanding genre wit too many good games.

Despite it could have had more free songs (you have to pay a subscription to unlock the game's full potential), Rhythm Festival still manages to be enjoyable and extremely fun.

MementoMori has some interesting ideas, but its story is not strong enough to keep you captivate in its world.

One of the two kings is back (the other one being Final Fantasy Tactics), and it is in a wonderful shape even eleven years after its last appearance. We're not 100% sure this is the best version of this classic, but it's a version no strategy fan should miss nonetheless.

Bannerlord is a layered experience, even played on console, despite some flaws with its controls.

A Little to the Left is a cozy puzzle game which is a true gem to see, even if some puzzle are way more brilliant than others.

Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic 3D game to date.

Deathverse: Let it Die takes a different approach on battle royales, but how this will work in the long period (and how much it will be supported by the developers) still remains to be seen.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the usual well crafted FPS, but it could just have been an update for the previous entry. It has a new campaign, but some of its moment are way more worrying than intriguing, at best.

Football Manager 2023 is a solid iteration of one of the most beloved sim franchises on the market. It's addictive as usual, it adds some welcomed new features and an extra layer of strategy and official licenses. Now all that remains is to fix the abnormal injury rate and we're done.

God of War: Ragnarok is one of the best games of the year and simply one of the biggest evolution for the action-adventure genre to date.

It's definitely not Mario Kart (but neither Crash Team Racing, for that matter), but Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3 Slime Speedway is enjoyable for Nicktoons' fans.

Monorail Stories is an interesting adventure about ordinary lives that can always get extraordinarily entwined.

Golf lovers will surely enjoy PGA Tour 2K23, despite some technical flaws that make the game improvable on PS5.

Star Ocean The Divine Force is a much better effort than Integrity and Faithlessness was, and with it the Star Ocean franchise goes back on track six years after. Tri-Ace revamped the combt system and added new features, now it's up to Square Enix to decide the future of this long lasting series.

Saturnalia is one of a kind game, a roguelite survival horror that mixes Sardinian floklore with a commendable visual art style.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers is a brave experiment, for sure, but at the same time it's disappointing and doesn't have enough content to entertain for a long time.

Signalis is a true retro survival horror with a unique visual style and a compelling story.

Bayonetta 3 is the best title from PlatinumGames for creativity and implementation of unique ideas on the gameplay side. A sum of what the Japanese studio can do, and this saga, from the aesthetic and narrative side. A sumptuous display of style and substance, an explosive third chapter in a series that elegantly places itself at the top of stylish action: a perfect Apotheosis.

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

Vertigo can't really live up to its name. It's an interesting adventure with some well made plot-twists, but it is one you will soon forget.

New Tales from the Borderlands opens up another vibrant, extremely fun and mad exploration of the Borderland's universe, with a second round of episodes even better than the first.

Gotham Knights surprised us in a positive way: it's not a revolution for the genre, but it's able to entertain the fans of the DC Universe, especially because Batman's not here.

Batora: Lost Haven is an intense and compelling journey for every fantasy lover, where choices come with consequences and you feel attached to Avril and her adventure.

Kamiwaza was a forgettable game in 2006 and, unfortunately, it still is.

Even if Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is clearly the sequel of the game from 2017 in game mechanics and structure, the people at Ubisoft took some risks trying to refine the formula and opening the maps, building in the process a much better game. As of today, this is one of Ubisoft's most promising IPs, and we can't wait to see what it has in store for the foreseeable future.

A Plague Tale: Requiem could have been the perfect sequel, but is held back by the same gameplay limitations of its predecessor.

Svoboda is a unique crossover between a video game and a docu-film. It manages to do both things in an interesting way and opens up the door on some events in history that we should never forget.

Spirits Unleashed is an interesting game for long time Ghostbusters' fans, but it needs a bit more to offer in order to entertain in the long-term.

Overwatch 2 is not a revolution of any kind, because it revolves around that identity that shook the market in 2016. However, the new composition of the teams must be assimilated, it is promising and rewards good players at the expense (perhaps) of novices. The free to play model seems perfectly in line with what the market offers (for better or for worse), but blocking the original heroes may not have been the best choice. Overwatch 2 is still the fun and captivating game it always was, and now it's free as well. Maybe there isn't too much else to know, after all.

The constant suffering of our lives, the idea that there is something far worse than death itself, the prospects of a miserable life of pain and useful only for purposes not ours: Scorn is a modern decadent work that uses horror to higher purposes, to tell with silence what we are destined to be from our birth and what we will never be able to understand, while we enjoy our petty illusions that crumble in the face of the merciless reality that is ready to invest in any instant.

Railgrade is so good at what it does, despite relying only on its campaign.
