With Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft we received a fantastic remaster that impressed us. It clearly demonstrates that old classics can shine even today, after 28 years. Lara Croft's "new" adventure is simply fantastic. However, it must be kept in mind that these are still old school games, so we must say that there will be no shortage of trial and error sessions, especially when precise jumps are required. Apart from this and a few bugs, it is a workmanlike remaster, and we hope that other software houses will follow this example. Aspyr's product is truly successful.

Persona 3 Reload is the best way to get started with Atlus' JRPG series. Its mysterious story with the improvements of the following chapters is a great recipe for this remake. And it's not far from perfection. Unfortunately, Tartarus is still empty and the developers did not have the temptation to add the additional content already present in past re-releases. However, the excellent new aesthetics, improved gameplay and Italian translation are factors that make Persona 3 Reload an unmissable purchase for JRPG fans.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the fantastic sequel to the excellent Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Ichiban's new adventure will make you have fun, but also shed just as many tears: we will witness Kiryu's swan song, in what will in effect be a handover. We are talking about an extremely long-lasting game, full of twists and turns and full of well-curated secondary activities. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is already one of the best games in the saga.

We can finally applaud the fact that the entire Ace Attorney series is now available on modern platforms, with the exception of Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney and Miles Edgeworth Investigations games. And for €49.99 new players really get incredible value for money. Unfortunately, historical fans of the series only receive small bonuses, which at the moment do not justify a new purchase. Let's hope that Capcom redeems itself soon with a new chapter, since this trilogy, despite over 80 hours of content, leaves us eager to take on the role of our favorite investigative lawyer again!

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is one of the most graphically impressive games released recently: the dynamism of the world and its details really manage to impress. The plot may not be great, but the main quest missions feature a lot of variety, and this makes the game engaging for hours. If you have a little patience in having fun finding places and characters without a well-functioning navigation system, it's definitely worth it.

Despite the shortcomings highlighted, Farsiders shows potential that could see its positive realization through future updates and patches. Continued efforts by Ghost Gambit, the Thai developer team, could improve the combat system, resolve pacing issues and offer broader customization options, thus helping to transform the game into a more complete and satisfying experience for the players.

It's a real shame that Bramble: The Mountain King suffers from such limiting game design issues, as they compromise the narrative of its dark and disturbing tale. On the gameplay side it doesn't do much to stand out from the crowd, but the atmosphere that supports it saves it from being a total disappointment.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is more than just a reimagining of the previous title. The game not only manages to appeal to the competitive audience by introducing rollback netcode and allowing crossplay between all systems, but it captivates casual players by introducing its world and new mechanics through its fun minigames. Although the first title fell short of expectations due to its release period and lack of essential modern components, we believe that Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising will succeed in bringing a new audience to its fantasy world.

While playing A Highland Song we were immediately captivated by its graphic style. The hand-painted Scottish countryside enticed us to travel the moors and hills together with Moira. The hidden objects and stories surrounding these landscapes encourage deeper exploration. The system of finding maps and the points indicated on them is an interesting diversification and an ingenious idea to give our journey a destination. The accompanying music fits in with its calm gameplay, while the rhythm game elements could have been better realised, perhaps by aiming for a different difficulty threshold: two-button combinations are not enough, and in the end A Highland Song is too easy. The plot is simple but clear, and the stories of Moira and her uncle that accompany the game perfectly complement the story. The voice acting is excellent, and we enjoyed the Scottish accent of the main characters. It's just a shame that there is no Italian translation available, which does not make A Highland Song easy to enjoy for those unfamiliar with English. A Highland Song deserves players' attention. The market needs games of this kind: simple, with a good story and attractive, stylish graphics.

KarmaZoo is a game that requires kindness, cooperation and selflessness to perform at its best. While you won't learn these things from every player you meet online in this game, finding the right team in KarmaZoo can be as crazy as it is fun. With a few tweaks to its teamwork mechanics, KarmaZoo can certainly achieve salvation from samsara, but for the time being there are still a few too many problems.

Like a Dragon Gaiden is an excellent interlude in the Kiryu saga, taking us from the sixth chapter to the upcoming eighth, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. A great option for fans who miss the Yakuza series in its classic beat'em-up formula.

Persona 5 Tactica won't quench the JRPG cravings of those waiting for news about Persona 6 or Metaphor: ReFantazio, but it could well be one of the best spin-offs Persona 5 has given us. Although it doesn't aim to revolutionise tactical games or even reinvent the wheel, the way it exploits the strengths of the Persona universe, the very appealing gameplay, its sympathetic graphics and the charisma of the characters gave us some very positive moments. Too bad for a decidedly weak and underwhelming narrative pretext compared to the high standards to which the saga has accustomed us.

The Talos Principle 2 takes Croteam's series to new horizons, both in terms of puzzles and the narrative and philosophical questions it proposes to players. The team led by Mario Kotlar and Verena Kyratzes has been able to outdo themselves, and has given us a title that goes beyond the very concept of a game. Love it, and don't deprive yourself of it.

Although there are no major revolutions compared to the first chapter, or perhaps because of this, it can already be said that Cities Skylines II is a worthy heir to its predecessor, and in the future, with the release of the ever-present expansions and some technical adjustments it may even surpass the first Cities. In any case, the base created by Colossal Order is solid, the gameplay is addictive, and it is definitely worth a try.

Endless Dungeon surprises by offering a well thought-out evolution of Dungeon of the Endless. It manages to mix genres and offer multi-faceted gameplay with a certain complexity, but without becoming too heavy or unbearable in co-op. The result is a rogue-lite with a good balance of strategy and action, with a strong tactical touch in single-player and requiring good teamwork and a lot of communication in multiplayer. Either way, it is a game you should try to discover a fresh and innovative game.

Sonic Superstars is a platformer that tries to dust off the splendour of the first chapters of Sega's blue hedgehog saga, but some inauspicious level design choices undermine the Tokyo-based production company's intentions. Also to be reviewed is the multiplayer compartment, which deserved more care.

Fate/Samurai Remant is a decidedly surprising title. It won us over with its mysterious plot and spectacular gameplay, and brings new luster to Kinoko Nasu's historic franchise. It's just a shame for the lack of attention paid to its technical aspects, but in any case we find ourselves faced with an excellent amalgam between a musou and an Action RPG.

If you like retro shooters and the atmosphere of Lovecraftian tales is particularly close to your heart, you will like Forgive Me Father. Despite the shallow plot, the game works hard to make us feel like real protagonists of the prose of Providence Solitaire. The comic style is well suited to Byte Barrel's work, and the gameplay of Forgive Me Father is properly entertaining. Now we just have to wait for the new chapter of this horror shooter, since Forgive Me Father 2 is coming out on October 19th!

Disgaea 7 – Vows of the Virtueless is a tactician of undoubted quality that marks the return to the origins of the series on the occasion of its twentieth anniversary. The change of setting and the journey towards an afterlife strongly inspired by Japanese folklore are undoubtedly characterizing, and allow this chapter to take on a life of its own. The additions to the established mechanics of the series integrate perfectly into the gameplay, although we would have preferred some more agile procedures within the game. It is certainly a game that will captivate fans for hundreds of hours, and a decisive step forward compared to its previous chapter. Dood!

Hidden Cats in Paris is a game at a very low price that will keep you company on an afternoon when you just want to think about relaxing while listening to jazz music. If such limited longevity is not a problem, our furry friends will keep you company and you will feel like you are experiencing a small virtual holiday in the streets of Paris.
