Neon Inferno is inspired by classic run 'n gun games, offering a less frantic pace than arcade games to accommodate newcomers. The adventure doesn't last long, but the real challenge lies in completing it at increasingly higher difficulty levels. Will you be able to do it?

Possessor(s) is a good Metroidvania experience crafted by the talented studio Hear Machine. The mechanics are well-established and reminiscent of the classics of the genre, but what impressed us most was the art design, which is one of the best we've seen lately. We still have some doubts, especially regarding the world navigation system and some effects that make the battles difficult to follow, but overall, Possessor(s) was enjoyable.

Winter Burrow strikes a perfect balance between survival and cosy gaming, making it the ideal mix for winter. The accessible difficulty level allows us to enjoy it at a leisurely pace; in its ten hours, it never becomes repetitive. Minor imperfections, such as the awkward inventory or long journeys, do not spoil the fun. Pine Creek Games has created an experience that perfectly balances survival and relaxation.

Sacred 2 Remaster takes us back to the magical kingdom of Ancaria, 17 years after the release of the original game. The developers have presented a game that has been cleaned up from many of the bugs that plagued Sacred 2, with overall improvements to the game's technical and graphical aspects. However, it is disappointing that the multiplayer mode is only available on PC, despite the higher cost on consoles.

Anno 117: Pax Romana marks a new chapter in Ubisoft's management saga. It is clear that the experience gained during the development of Anno 1800 has served to create a product that is polished and profound in every aspect, but also easy to access. Of course, newbies may feel a little lost at first among the many buttons on the interface, and there are a lot of tasks to complete. But Anno 117: Pax Romana is one of the best management games we've ever played. Now let's hear what Caesar wants...

Syberia Remastered takes us back twenty-two years to the role of Kate Walker, ready to embark on her icy adventure in search of the mystery of the Voralberg. The story is as magnificent as ever, and Microids has also offered us a decent improvement in the graphics department, but this re-release is not without its problems, especially on the technical side. Interpenetration, invisible walls and a particularly unstable build plague the title, compromising the overall experience.

Arc Raiders has definitely won us over: its settings are evocative, its sound design is excellent, and we haven't encountered any technical issues. But above all, we're talking about an extremely fun game that makes us want to try one new extraction after another. The threats do not lie solely in the ARCs, the robotic enemies that rule the post-apocalyptic world built by Embark, but also and above all in our fellow human raiders, ready to steal our resources. Prepare yourself for some tense moments!

Escape from Duckov is much more than a parody game: the latest surprise hit is a title with solid gameplay that is extremely entertaining. Our duck must survive and find resources in a hostile but ironic world, certainly free from the stress of competitive online games. There is definitely room for improvement on the part of Team Soda, especially with regard to controller management, but there have already been updates in this first month, and we are convinced that more will follow in the future.

Simon the Sorcerer Origins fully captures the spirit of the very first episodes of the point-and-click saga of the teenage wizard. It seems like 30 years haven't passed since Adventure Soft's adventures full of comedy and fantasy, and Smallthing Studio has skilfully picked up the baton, giving us a good adventure, full of jokes and nostalgia.

Stellar Reach is a title that takes a long time to appreciate. Its learning curve is steep, but if you give it the right amount of attention, you will reap many rewards. The limitations of a project managed by a single developer remain, but James Miller's experience is evident in his latest project.

Ninja Gaiden 4 had a difficult task: navigating the heavy legacy of a series that has made difficulty one of its trademarks while also satisfying a new audience looking for deep but accessible action. Yakumo and Ryu's mission was accomplished with flying colours, and the latest addition to the Team Ninja saga is an extremely entertaining action game, but with a combat system ready to be dissected by the most demanding fans.

Keeper is the latest original work from Double Fine, which this time takes us into surreal atmospheres reminiscent of Salvador Dalí's paintings. We couldn't play a more unusual protagonist: we are, in fact, a living lighthouse, and it will be up to us to explore a world in search of rebirth. Of course, Keeper suffers from a few technical issues, but it is an experience that will delight players who are looking for original and relaxing works.

Absolum, the latest work from Dotemu, is not only a beautifully polished side-scrolling beat 'em up, but also adds an extremely fun roguelike component to the classic beat 'em up, especially in co-op mode. The animations and character designs are meticulously crafted, as is the excellent soundtrack. Are you ready to get your hands dirty in a fantasy setting?

The House of Tesla is an engaging graphic adventure filled with clever puzzles, a fascinating story, and beautiful historical details. The atmosphere and excellent models of historical objects draw us into the world of Nikola Tesla. Occasional technical shortcomings undermine the experience, but they do not detract from the overall picture. For lovers of history and logical puzzles, it is definitely a game worth trying.

We say this without exaggeration: Hades 2 is an absolutely fantastic sequel. Everything we loved in the first instalment returns, enriched with more content, more possibilities and an even more satisfying combat system. Melinoë's new abilities integrate perfectly, even if it was difficult to shake off Zagreus' legacy at first. But, over time, we learn to exploit them and end up slashing enemies with satisfaction. Provided the gods are benevolent, of course...

Katanaut is a good roguelite: the fun comes from experimenting with different character builds. You will have various melee weapons, firearms and abilities at your disposal, which often lead to a completely new gaming experience. If you love this genre of games, don't hesitate to try the latest work from Voidmaw!

Hell is Us is a game that refuses to compromise: in terms of narrative, imagery, and even gameplay. Exploration is not just an end in itself, but becomes an allegory for Remi's search within his own soul and his origins, hidden by an enigma. We are aware that Hell is Us is not an experience suitable for everyone: of course, we enjoyed it very much, both in its investigation and combat phases, but some prefer to find more immediate content and easy gratification in a video game. However, sometimes experimentation is necessary to discover more about ourselves and the world around us.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is a passionate tribute to Hideo Kojima's 2004 masterpiece. This new edition introduces several updates, especially in terms of graphics and controls. On the other hand, Konami's new work is faithful to the original to a fault, foregoing gameplay innovations that would have given players more freedom and immersion.

Mafia: The Old Country aims to take Hangar 13's work back to its roots, both in terms of the anthropological and historical origins of the criminal organisation and those of the video game franchise. The work done is commendable: we were captivated by a story and characters that were very well written. But what fascinated us even more was the historically accurate rendering of the setting and the passion with which the American developers committed themselves to conveying a period so full of colour, but also of shadows. Of course, we would have liked to lose ourselves even more deeply in this beautifully painted world, but Mafia: The Old Country does not want to lose its way and wants to accomplish its mission in the best possible way.

Artis Impact is a deeply moving adventure, the result of a labour of love that shows how much a single developer can tell us about the world. The journey with Akane and Bot is sure to draw you into what will be a short but intense adventure.
