The Xbox version of Death Stranding Director's Cut represents an excellent opportunity for all Microsoft gamers who had never been able to get their hands on Kojima's latest creation. To this day, Death Stranding remains a superlative game with unique gameplay. Despite this, we are still faced with a game that divides the gaming community without half measures: if you didn't like it initially, you won't this time either. On the whole, however, the porting to Xbox Series X/S has been optimised properly, as it was already done on PS5.

8.1 / 10.0 - Planet Coaster 2
Nov 12, 2024

Planet Coaster 2 is without a doubt the best theme park management game. The creation and customisation system is one of the most comprehensive in the genre, and it's no exaggeration to say that you'll spend hundreds of hours perusing the game editor. The addition of the water attractions greatly increases the game's offerings and introduces new features that complete the gaming experience. Unfortunately, the management system remains a secondary aspect of the production, despite the fact that it too has been revised in comparison to its predecessor.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl brings back one of the most iconic FPSs of the last 20 years. Despite the time that has passed, the guys at GSC Game World have created a worthy successor to the first chapter. The team decided not to distort the series, maintaining a high level of difficulty compared to other modern shooters. Each step into the Exclusion Zone could be our last: not only because of the creatures and enemies that will try to kill us, but also because of the atmospheric and radioactive anomalies that will put our survival skills to the test. On the side we find an excellent graphic and sound compartment even if there are several technical problems and bugs that we hope will be solved in a short time.

8.3 / 10.0 - Avowed
Feb 13, 2025

Avowed is an RPG through and through, demonstrating Obsidian's extreme experience in making games of this genre. The title further expands some of the issues already explored in Pillars of Eternity. This is thanks to a deep and well-written story that we can influence directly by taking full advantage of the dialogue system with other NPCs. The gameplay itself is of good workmanship, even if there are elements that make some mechanics woody. In spite of everything, the character progression system is well balanced and the graphic technical compartment is really thick, except for some minor problems. Probably, the choice to create a more contained world divided into game areas proved successful.

8 / 10.0 - WWE 2K25
Mar 10, 2025

WWE 2K25 improves on everything seen in the previous chapter. The gameplay is now smoother, adding mechanics that make fights more realistic and fun. The real strength of the game, however, is the monstrous amount of content and modes ensuring hundreds of hours of fun with friends and non-friends alike. The Island further enhances WWE's offerings, even if the microtransactions are just too overwhelming. In any case, WWE 2K25 achieves its goal: to entertain and amuse. A title that fans should definitely not miss.

South of Midnight is a third-person action adventure that is rather restrained but has all the credentials to make its mark among titles in the genre. In fact, the structure built by Compulsion Games is valid and enjoyable to play. Much importance has been given to plot and setting, inspired by South American folklore. To succeed in this intent, the Canadian team has decided to create rather linear and circumscribed maps, setting up a functional but not too complex gameplay. In short, the idea is that Compulsion Games has decided to stay in its comfort zone without daring too much. A choice that, sincerely, we appreciated considering that a wide and structured game is not always synonymous with success. Better little but done well.

7.5 / 10.0 - Towerborne
May 6, 2025

Despite still being in Early Access, Towerborne shows great potential. The mix of beat'em up, loot system and RPG component makes the Stoic title a very rewarding experience, especially when played in co-op. If you are willing to tolerate the typical problems of a game in development, Towerborne may already prove to be a worthy title.

7.8 / 10.0 - Section 13
Jun 9, 2025

Section 13 is a game in which the Roguelite component works well, encouraging the player to repeat the loop, trying to upgrade between runs. The gameplay itself, based on the dual stick system, is effective, with an intuitive and easy-to-use control system. The game is obviously designed to be at its best in co-op mode. Unfortunately, this mode is not yet available. With the implementation of co-op, Ocean Drive Studio's work can only get better.

7.9 / 10.0 - Star Overdrive
Jun 24, 2025

Star Overdrive is a title that manages to combine many different styles of gameplay in a single adventure. The hoverboard exploration system, combined with dynamic combat and a carefully crafted, colourful setting, make this title developed by Caracal Games a noteworthy game that is well worth trying out.

Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition is a title mainly dedicated to historical fans of the series. The game basically re-presents the original gameplay, aged really well after 25 years. The addition of the old classics is a good cue, as is the chance to relive the entire history of the saga. Those expecting a few more improvements or mode additions will be disappointed. Nevertheless, Worms Armageddon is a title that must be tried at least once in a lifetime. What better occasion than this?
