South Park: Snow Day! sets aside the RPG elements of previous titles, in order to offer a multiplayer action game with pronounced roguelike mechanics, unfortunately quite repetitive in the long run.

Princess Peach: Showtime! is an exemplar of Nintendo's game design philosophy, delivering an innovative and cohesive gaming experience that challenges expectations and recalls the essence of video games.

Rise of the Ronin brings the typical game structure of Nioh into a barren open world full of boring fetch quests and repetitive missions. The combat system is once again top notch, but the overall quality of the game certifies a step backward for Team Ninja.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is a rare beast, and one we would gladly save from extinction, thanks to its unparalleled sense of freedom and discovery and fast paced combat system. It's a courageous game too, with divisive game design that not every player will appreciate. But believe us when we say the travel is well worth it.

Due to the clumsy and imprecise combat system, as well as the outdated graphics, Alone in the Dark fails to relaunch the series among the big franchises of the survival horror genre.

Contra Operation Galuga is a welcomed return to form for this classic franchise, but it is also a 101 scrolling shooter that takes very few risks. We sincerely hope to see Wayforward again at work with this brand and to see them unleash their talent without restraints.

Ultros offers a truly unique experience within the genre, and the creativity of the authors in conceiving certain design solutions is certainly commendable. Unfortunately, however, this alone cannot justify a title that fails to achieve any of its intentions other than showcasing a highly artistic side.

WWE 2K24 continues to refine the formula introduced two years ago, and the overall improvements in the package are more impactful compared to those seen between 2022 and 2023, making this title the best interpretation of WWE wrestling by Visual Concepts (at least until next year, that is). The Showcase mode is certainly a standout feature for long-time fans, given its celebration of Wrestlemania (despite the limitations highlighted in the article), and the two MyRise stories offer more interesting twists than usual. Whether these and the few other novelties in the rest of the package are enough to justify the purchase for those who already own one of the more recent releases remains highly subjective, but we're still talking about the best wrestling title in recent times, albeit with the regret of not yet seeing that leap towards the next-gen that we've been waiting for for years.

We cannot avoid praising the courage of a small team such as Vanillaware in creating a niche and bold title like this. We loved every minute of the 60 plus hours spent with Unicorn Overlord and we're already looking forward to Vanillaware next title.

As unfortunately predictable as it was, Skull and Bones falls victim to over ten years spent in development limbo; during this time, the project changed its nature multiple times, signaling a lack of direction that is cleareven in the final product. Despite having a fascinating setting and naval combat that can be entertaining in its simplicity, there is a total lack of identity. What's missing is something that pushes players to keep going, whether it's an intriguing gameplay loop or an engaging narrative context, and once the console is turned off, it's easy to forget everything that happened in this incredibly flat sea.The dawn of "quadruple-A" titles doesn't seem so promising, after all.

The Outlast Trials isn't a bad game, thanks to a dose of blood and violence. The emphasis is placed on the multiplayer experience, who undermines the enjoyment for players accustomed to solo playthroughs.

You can tell it was not necessary, and you'd probably be right, but Brothers remake is a love letter to one of the most heartwarming titles of the last decade, and this version is the one new players should look to if they're willing to give this game a try.

Solium Infernum gives an unexpected, brilliant and fresh (!) twist to 4X games and we loved that every decision actual matters in hell.

A brilliant new iteration that you will fall in love with.

Promenade is a 2D platformer with puzzle game elements that offers a unique and fun gaming experience. Set in a fairy-tale-like environment with lovely artistic features, the game successfully captures a child's sense of wonder as they discover the world. Featuring a extensive array of puzzles, mini-games with a nostalgic '80s style, and uniquely beautiful landscapes, Holy Cap's creation delivers an engaging and stimulating gameplay.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is, most likely, what fans were hoping to be able to play, sooner or later. A superbly crafted compilation, respectful of the original material, capable of allowing us to relive all the typically '90s feeling of Lara Croft's first three adventures.

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.

Pacific Drive is an intriguing experience and, despite being way more complicated than it should in some of its choices, it's a compelling game that feels like a breath of fresh air for video games' lovers.

Helldivers 2 is a fun multiplayer co-op shooter clearly inspired by Starship Troopers, and that's not too bad. Some server issues (which will be resolved eventually) and good - but not outstanding - graphics make Arrowhead Game Studios' game a certainly well-crafted title, but just nothing more.

Under Night In-Birth II Sys: Celes is a compelling fighting game, despite feeling old and way-too classic in many of its choices. It's really hard to understand why Arc System Works chose the same release window as Tekken 8, considering that it didn't help the game at all in getting the attention it deserved.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong, while a good game, comes too late in the Nintendo Switch's lifecycle to stand out in the vast array of puzzle platformers, although the multiplayer adds an unexpected value.

Despite a stiff combat system that sometimes feels imprecise, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden presents a compelling story about love, human misery and crucial social themes.

Suicide Squad is a flawed game, a partial disaster for every Batman fan and for anyone who doesn't digest the Game as a Service (GaaS) structure that Kill the Justice League imposes.

Stargate: Timekeepers is an interesting tactical stealth, but it could have done better with such a beloved IP.

Thanks to the depth of its battle system (the boss fights are pretty spectacular!) and you can build your characters, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a pleasant surprise for action RPG lovers.

We disagree with the people at Atlus and their decision to leave Tartarus as it was, but nonetheless this is one of the best JRPGs of the modern era, and this remake makes it shine like it deserves. The one for this review was our fifth run in eighteen years and we still didn't feel any fatigue playing it. Let's just hope the devs will include Persona 3 FES and Portable content later down the road.

Graven is an intriguing mix of genres, but it doesn't manage to express its full potential.

Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth is the golden bridge between the glorious past of the franchise and its bright future. It's a rich game and an epic RPG, a celebration of the videogame medium itself and a modern twist on both the Shenmue and the Earthbound games. It can be slow at times and it requires knowledge of characters and events from previous games, but it's still a monumental effort.
