9 / 10.0 - Hi-Fi Rush
Mar 18, 2024

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.

6 / 10.0 - The Inquisitor
Mar 16, 2024

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.

8 / 10.0 - Helldivers II
Feb 17, 2024

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.

5.8 / 10.0 - Fearmonium
Dec 13, 2023

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.

8.1 / 10.0 - Super Mario RPG
Nov 29, 2023

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

6.3 / 10.0 - Dead Island 2: Haus
Nov 26, 2023

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.

7.6 / 10.0 - The Last Faith
Nov 15, 2023

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.

8.5 / 10.0 - WarioWare: Move It!
Nov 8, 2023

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.

9 / 10.0 - Alan Wake 2
Oct 26, 2023

Alan Wake 2 is the comeback that all fans were waiting for and deserved. After thirteen long years of waiting Remedy has been able to build a renewed and in-depth title, rejuvenating in every part a project that had long been missing from the videogame industry landscape. Those who loved the first chapter should therefore not miss the writer's new interaction, which, despite some minor technical and progression imperfections in the environments, manages to carve out a place for itself among the exponents of the genre.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is one of the best two-dimensional platformers ever made in the history of video games, and probably the best in the franchise along with the historic Super Mario World. The gameplay constantly surprises, the environments are magnificent, and Nintendo has worked hard to keep the title fresh with its gimmicks and innovations. This is no mere sequel to the New saga, but a fresh start. And also a triumph.

7.4 / 10.0 - Wizard With A Gun
Oct 22, 2023

Wizard with a Gun attempts to innovate the gaming landscape with a rather interesting mixture of genres. Unfortunately, shortcomings in the controls and the handling of the final part of the storyline do not allow it to fully take off. However, should you be looking for an experience to play with a friend, Galvanic Games' first effort could well be for you.

7.8 / 10.0 - Scorn
Oct 12, 2023

Scorn is a straightforward work that has no problem showing perverse and crude images. Ebb Software's product is capable of instilling a sense of anguish and unease rarely equalled by other games. The only pity is the absolutely mediocre combat phases and a longevity that is too short, especially for the price at which it is offered.

Knight Vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is a good roguelike experience, capable of creating its own path while taking strong inspiration from Hades. However, the title suffers from a lack of general variety, which leads it to be repetitive in the medium to long term. A real shame, considering the potential and artistic skills put into play.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series marks the return of the American software house in style. The excellent writing and technical realization allow the work to show off a sparkling and engaging experience. It's a shame for the combat phases and the mechanics relating to collectibles, which fail to fully convince.

6.3 / 10.0 - MythForce
Sep 16, 2023

MythForce is a product that on paper has really interesting potential. 80s cartoons mixed with the roguelike genre are a fairly new alchemy for the gaming world. Unfortunately, the repetitiveness does not allow the title to fully express these values, relegating it to an anonymous experience.
