This time there’s no place for Pokemons, babysitting or Japanese lessons: this is an adult-only party, a mature gangster story that dwells deep in the Nintendo DS unique features. Politically incorrect, violent, embarrassing, ingenious. It’s an accomplished GTA, a new Rockstar masterpiece, an absolute must have.

The epic conclusion of an amazing saga. Has some annoying visual bugs and the narrative doesn't quite reach the fantastic peaks of its predecessor, but it's still an incredible production that will be remembered.

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.

INSIDE is a top quality product that will let you enjoy a great journey, as amazing as overwhelming, where the excellent visual language drawn by Playdead is the key feature making the story absolutely special. INSIDE is the umpteenth piece of proof that an actually "different" game can be crafted with simple and functional ideas, with neither cut-scenes misuse nor fancy narrative techniques. Even the poor longevity get overshadowed: INSIDE offers an experience that only asks to be lived, not for the quantity but for the high quality of its content.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is one of the best surprises since at least five years or so. It's clearly a work of love and passion, made by talented people who love JRPG of old and has the vision to offer a modern interpretation of them, palatable for both old-time fans like them and newcomers alike.

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.

What is certain is that we are facing one of the most beautiful and significant titles of 2025 for countless reasons—not just for gameplay alone.

Uncharted is still an incredible cinematic experience, but its own issues remain the same: limited interactivity, often too linear. Despite this, it's still one of the best adventure titles of the year, one you shouldn't miss. Multiplayer is just an add-on, but a very well crafted one.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the perfect representation of what a modern Final Fantasy should always be. That said, controversial narrative choices are indelible black stains on a beautiful picture.
