True, many gamers expected more - and perhaps deserved more. But Konami's operation has not only brought back to our screens some immortal masterpieces that would otherwise be unrecoverable, or almost, but has also done exactly what was promised: to include the original games in a collection that does not want and did not want to be anything more. Even though the first MGS in particular has aged in its dynamics and controls, we are still faced with a collection of titles that made history in the medium, whose solidity is still intact today. Purchased recommendation? Only in two cases: if you're a die-hard fan who can't do without the series, or if, bearing in mind the enormous amount of time that has passed, you're ready to immerse yourself in some healthy retrogaming.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 doesn't represent the huge leap in quality that some expected, but it remains a great sequel: the game maintains the solid foundations of the two titles before it, and brings Peter and Miles together for a simply magnificent adventure. The gameplay has been further expanded with new attacks and abilities, resulting in increasingly varied fights, especially against bosses. It's just a pity for a certain superficiality in the handling of the open world, even if just fluttering through the skyscrapers of New York is still a wonderful experience.

Undoubtedly, Empty Clip Studios did a very good job on the artistic side, restoring this 90s classic with a very clean style that is perfectly faithful to the Gargoyles' animated series. On the other hand, the game is hopelessly outdated in terms of gameplay, structuring itself as a platformer with poor mechanics. All in all, however, it is an enjoyable arcade adventure that will revive the memories of the nostalgic.

Skull Island: Rise of Kong is a bad title, an obscene glorification of one of cinema's most famous monsters, a video game that is simply unacceptable in every respect. Don't buy it, unless you want to spite yourself or some of your enemies.

Bud Spencer & Terence Hill: Slap and Beans 2 is another beautiful homage to the iconic duo of Italian cinema, a fun scrolling fighting game full of references and homages. Too bad only for some flaws in the gameplay, a sign of the fact that for a third chapter (?) there will be some other details to be ironed out. The news, however, is very satisfying.

Mugen Souls Z is a fascinating game on the one hand, very problematic on the other. This porting, useful only for recovering the famous content censored in our territories, does not do justice to a title that is certainly not unforgettable but not even avoidable, which instead is lost in anonymity.

Dimension Shellshock is a beautiful DLC for TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, which gives new life to one of the most successful titles of last year. Players may encounter a higher difficulty level than the main game, but the challenge is interesting enough to return to the world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Rayman in the Phantom Show is the DLC with which we say goodbye, hopefully not forever, to Mario+Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. The package is a lot of fun, the relaunch of Rayman was successful and Ubisoft Milano managed to give some other new features to a game that seemed to have said it all, even without being able to repeat the Donkey Kong miracle of the first chapter.
