Sir Miles Jacobson and his team did it again: Football Manager 2020 is one of the best episodes in recent years, thanks to some polishing and the inclusion of long-term planning, which adds replayability and depth to an already great sim.

Nex Machina is a fast paced cyberpunk twin stick shooter, a pure experience from the past, but unfortunately it doesn't last long.

Chloe and Nadine's adventure demonstrates that the world of Uncharted can tell many other stories even without the iconic Nathan Drake. The Lost Legacy is a successful spin-off that includes the very best of the series and offers a new and interesting point of view.

SoulCalibur VI is a solid new chapter that evolves the combat system and adds new missions to the main mode. It is not a revolution, but it is the best game in the series.

This HD-2D Remake does justice to the grandaddy of the JRPG genre, a seminal game that is equally simple and charming in execution. New content, shiny new graphics and all that worked in the original title are included in this remake, and so it comes recommended for both old-time fans and newcomers.

Split Second is a funny arcade racer, standing up on its own unique trait: the ability to blow up specific elements of the track, a chance gained only when driving with a certain skill. Spectacular as the Hollywood movies to which it inspires, it falls short on customization and online options. It won't last more than the 10/12 hours offered by the campaign, which is a shame indeed. Still, it deserves to be played for its unique and funny approach to the racing genre.

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.

Trails through Daybreak marks the first time Falcom takes a bet with its franchise, changing its combat system to a degree and some of its gameplay mechanics. The changes are all good for newcomers, which will find an ideal entry point here, but are not so for the longtime fans, who could dislike the action-focused shift and the decrease in the overall level of challenge.

Resident Evil Village is an instant classic, a solid basis for the franchise's future and the perfect mixture between the beloved game structure of Resident Evil 4 and the modern take on franchise reinvented by Resident Evil 7.

The result, though still a bit 'sour for some graphic glitch and not bug-free, fully convinces and the new features do nothing but add prestige and longevity to a project worthy of praise from all points of view.

It's a lot of fun and fast as hell, at least in the first half. The pace sometimes slows down as you get to the end, and the Skillshot system dowsn't work smoothly all the way through. It's still an original and funny take on first person shooting: it won't last too long, but you'll enjoy a lot out of it.

Gradius Origins is an impressive but incomplete collection. It captures the essence of a genre and a generation of gamers. It's a shame that the absence of the fourth and fifth installments keeps it from being a must-have for every SHMUP fan.

Fru is the first killer app for Kinect 2.0 and can use the Kinect better than anyone until now. A brilliant game that not all the players can appreciate, but that everyone should try.

Faster Than light is a game that want to aim to quantity more than quality. The number of events the title offers is fantastic, like the various situations we have to face: for example, the battle against aliens or encounter new members to join our team.

Another great postatomic RPG, so similar to its predecessor that it shares the same technical problems. Nonetheless, those who loved the Wasteland will find a lot of great gameplay and fun in New Vegas.

A gigantic and amazingly complex game, whose mechanics are absolutely impressive. It’s a deep jrpg, and one with brilliant art direction and a beautiful world. Structurally, though, the game is terrible. It’s one repetitive quest after another, with forced objectives and exploration percentages in order to advance in the main storyline. It’s a flawed and old idea for an open world game, and one that truly needs to become obsolete. If you love games with great mechanics and can ignore the structural problems, you’ll find a great title here. If not, steer clear.

Hellblade II Enhanced on PS5 is proof that form can reach astonishing heights, yet emotional substance doesn’t always manage to recreate the miracle of a first encounter.

Resogun is an excellent game. Its few problems do not compromise the final result, even though we would have appreciated to see more than 3 space ships and more than 5 levels. Among the launch titles for the PS4, this is one of the most interesting games; we recommend you to download it and start to climb the leaderboards.

Viewfinder is a puzzle game that invites us to reflect on perspective, optical illusions, and the manipulation of reality. The puzzles are different and presented in an uncommon and innovative manner. The adventure also has a touch of mystery surrounding it, with old recordings hinting at something beyond just the puzzles. It's charming, entertaining, and just challenging enough.

A sci-fi horror game that doesn't really scare as much as Amnesia, but it's way more inspired when it comes to background and storyline. It strays far from the usual stylemes of the genre, and even if it falls short in some elements, it remains a great game, full of tension and terrific locations.

Not without its light flaws, this great Need for Speed return is an exciting new point of view on the world of Turismo racing, mainly thanks to a well-crafted driving model. If you like the races, and you’re not a simulation fanatic, it’s the game to have.

Gran Turismo 5 is, at the same time, a great game and an incredible disappointment. Many simulation fans will get all they are looking for, yet it's simply unacceptable that after 5 chapters we don't get to see a decent collision system, essential to reproduce what happens on a real track. Add to this the 800 standard cars, way below the rest of the graphics, a disappointing online, and what you get is a paradox. If you loved the series, you'll surely have fun with it. If you're looking for the next step in driving simulation, keep waiting.

The Metro Redux Edition is an example that deserves to be followed. 4A not only were able to achieve 60 fps on the new console, but they also took their first title and updated it to make it closer to Last Light in terms of quality. Outstanding.

Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged is a successful restoration operation that brings back a timeless classic of the genre and an unforgettable piece of video game history, now boasting 4K resolution and a number of useful enhancements for the best version of the game to date.

Even with a barebones remaster, Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster is a must play for anyone who never owned a 3DS and lost one of the freshest and most original combat system of the last fifteen years. The same can't be said for the ones who already saw the game to its conclusion, as thers's simply not enough new content to recommend a second purchase.

Even though a lot of content in Pokemon Ultrasun and Ultramoon has been recycled from the previous entries, there's still a lot of new things to see and new places to explore, and, more importantly, a great deal of fan-service that will delight long time aficionados of the franchise.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is both the culmination of a formula TT Games has refined over twenty years and the moment that formula stops being enough on its own. The game doesn't simply reproduce what has always worked: it dismantles it, rebuilds it with new materials, and attempts something the LEGO games had never genuinely tried before. To be a Batman game in the fullest sense of the term.

Borderlands has been a great game. First of all we have to reward the willingness of developers to propose something different, that we dare to define original. The RPG-FPS hybrid gameplay works perfectly and playing the co-op mode online, the title takes off, ensuring many hours of fun. Combine this with its excellent graphics, in its way kind of unique too, and you'll understand the value of a fresh product, suitable for all those who love to spend their time online.
