Sand Land is a game with mixed emotions. While on the one hand we have a good characterisation of the characters and a pleasant mixture of action sequences and RPG tints, on the other side of the coin the Bandai Namco title suffers from an open world that is too vast and quite poor in offerings. Still, it remains an enjoyable product that can be played without too many pretensions, all the more so for those who are fans of Akira Toriyama's work.

Sker Ritual responds to the incessant demand from COD Zombies orphans by offering a game that traces almost every part of the mode presented by Treyarch sixteen years ago. If you're a fan of co-operative FPS titles and don't mind a few momentary technical glitches, Sker Ritual is a product not to be missed, all the more so if you spent hours upon hours in Call of Duty's undead-filled maps.

Perish is a two-sided coin: while on the one hand we find an excellent mixture of genres, on the other hand the not entirely in-depth exploration of roguelike themes leads it to be a good but not memorable title. A pity, since the technical and concept component rests on really solid and promising foundations.

Devolver Digital has done it again. The work by Ahr Ech manages to entertain without half measures, thanks to an immediate gameplay and easy-to-learn controls. It's just a pity for a few technical problems and an unmemorable longevity, which would otherwise have allowed it to assimilate to the Olympus of independent productions.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox: Definitive Edition improves some aspects of the original version such as the approach to combat and some quality-of-life features. Nevertheless, most of the production limitations of the past can also be found in this new interaction, such as the sense of disorientation during exploration and a lack of accuracy of hitboxes and inputs.

Contra: Operation Galuga is a re-release of a cult game that is definitely worth playing for those nostalgic for the old Metal Slug-style run'n' gun games. Konami's production succeeds in entertaining thanks to a frenetic and satisfying gameplay, which is however counterbalanced by an unexceptional artistic compartment and by a longevity that is risible, even including the extra modes contained here.

Alone in the Dark returns to the scene after several years (and postponements) with an enjoyable product, but far from the other ‘restyling’ operations to which the last few years have accustomed us. Despite a fine setting and an excellent puzzle sector, Pieces Interactive's new endeavour runs aground on an unmemorable gunplay and on a fluctuating graphical rendering. A good starting point, however, which we hope will pick up further in the near future.

Hi-Fi Rush lands on PlayStation 5 bringing with it all the glittering baggage that allowed it to enter the hearts of thousands last year on Xbox and PC. Tango Gameworks' stunning game fully represents everything an entertainment product should do, which is to entertain. Despite some flaws in terms of level design, the title deserves to be played by all those who love action and music, perfectly blended here.

The Inquisitor is a title that could really offer a different experience, especially thanks to a narrative compartment that is out of the chorus and hardly addressed in the videogame landscape. We feel like rewarding this departure from the Polish company's comfort zone, but we can't do the same for the gameplay and the technical compartment, which is really dated and unsatisfactory.

The Outlast Trials learns what good things have been achieved in terms of settings and gameplay in the two main titles of the series and succeeds in presenting an innovative, addictive product capable of bringing players together in a horror environment. However, the multiplayer formula may not be appreciated by genre purists, who would find Red Barrels' latest effort an underwhelming and slightly monotonous experience (all the more so when played as a single player).

The remake of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a work that brings back in an up-to-date guise a title that thrilled thousands of players in 2013. However, the genre to which it belongs pushes very little towards replayability, and consequently, also accomplice to the fact that there is almost nothing new in terms of gameplay (only the split screen), the purchase is motivated mainly for those who have never had the pleasure of interacting with the work before.

Helldivers 2 is a product that entertains, involves and encourages teamwork as has rarely been seen in the videogame scene. The mechanics currently presented can easily give it the award for best Live Service released so far, but as we well know, time will be the true judge. Nonetheless, considering the affordable price and the fluid gameplay system, Helldivers 2 certainly deserves a chance for all PS5 and PC owners.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden marks the full evolution of Don't Nod. Thanks to the appreciable alchemy between the narrative component and the gameplay, the new effort from the transalpine house is engaging and exciting. Although the world map is not particularly incisive and some technical issues are slightly revisable, the path taken by the French guys is undoubtedly the right one.

We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip is a pleasant experience which, despite its duration, allows you to spend a couple of hours carefree with a friend. If you have a partner with whom you get along, don't think twice and invest the few Euros needed to literally embark on this adventure; you might enjoy it.

God of War Ragnarok Valhalla is therefore a content lovingly conceived by the developers for all fans of the saga, capable of reawakening every memory created in the company of the most famous Spartan in the world of video games, as well as representing the perfect closure to a majestic, fascinating and well-crafted chapter, which is now seen to be settling the proverbial cherry on top.

Fearmonium had all the credentials to deal with such a sensitive topic as phobia and depression in a sharp and interesting manner. Unfortunately, the reality of the facts is quite different, and it proposes an imprecise and botched title, which sees in its artistic compartment its only lifeline.

Super Mario RPG is a perfect remake that certainly shows how much the original Legend of the Seven Stars had its (reasoned) naivety. At the same time, it is a sweet, enjoyable adventure. The most appropriate calling card for those who want to approach RPGs, today as in 1995: the world of Mario is so iconic that it's hard not to be enraptured by the title

Haus adds almost nothing more than what was seen in Dead Island 2. The purchase is therefore only recommended for fans of the brand and those who want to invest a few extra hours in the company of friends.

The Last Faith is a demonstration of love for FromSoftware titles and columns belonging to the metroidvania genre. The good chemistry that characterises the project created by Kumi Souls Games entertains and is appreciated, especially for the excellent graphic rendering of characters and environments. It is a pity about a few smears in the gameplay, which do not allow it to reach even higher peaks.

WarioWare: Move It! is the further crystallisation of a series that makes fun and immediacy its beating heart. The madness and numerous micro-games within the adventure of Wario and co. succeed in making anyone spend dozens and dozens of carefree hours. Should you have someone with whom you can take on the wacky challenges created by Intelligent Systems, WarioWare: Move It! is undoubtedly a must buy for Nintendo Switch.
