The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is a decent title that League of Legends and action fans won't want to miss. However, it doesn't excel in any particular area, performing its task effectively but without innovation. Its major flaw is a sense of familiarity, sticking to a well-worn formula without introducing new elements. Despite this, the game is enjoyable and entertaining for its modest 8-hour duration. The final judgment is yours, as we've already provided ours.

Have a Nice Death is an interesting game, full of challenges, dark humor, and frust... fun. If you liked Dead Cells, this game offers a similar challenge level without introducing anything new to the genre, simply rehashing familiar elements. Recommended for roguelike fans who will appreciate the cartoonish graphics, ironic dialogues, and paradoxical situations encountered on the path to the much-desired rest. Have a Nice Death is available on the Nintendo digital store.

If your expectations are for a game similar to the first chapter, with captivating graphics, stories, and turn-based gameplay, providing hours of entertainment, then Octopath Traveler II will certainly meet them. The additions of boost points for extra strategic turns and the day-night cycle with related gameplay changes are well-received, enriching an already solid gameplay experience. The game world is well-structured, visually appealing, and more cohesive than ever, thanks to the connections between characters and stories. Octopath Traveler II is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. If you're a fan of the genre, it's highly recommended.

Tales of Symphonia was a great title for its time, with an interesting story, twists, and a relatively modern, though imperfect, gameplay that helped create a larger fanbase interested in the series. Unfortunately for fans, the GameCube version remains the best version of the game. Anyone looking to try this remastered version, hoping for better resolution or portability, will be disappointed. It's essentially a mere port of the PC version, with even worse graphics, overly contrasted and bright textures, the same resolution and framerate as on PlayStation 3 (so no 60FPS), and a Nintendo Switch version with slower performance and longer load times than the GameCube. This "remastered" edition seems to cash in on a beloved brand, offending the saga's fans. Bandai Namco, we expect much more from you.

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line allows Final Fantasy and other series fans to re-listen to their favorite tracks, challenging themselves and others online in reflex and skill-demanding battles. The addition of tracks and the chibi character design doesn't change the fact that it's essentially a copy-paste of the 3DS versions, offering nothing new and retaining the stylus-based gameplay for controllers. The lack of new modes or uniqueness is a significant flaw, making it merely a port with some online communication rather than true multiplayer challenges. Recommended? Not really, unless you're a die-hard fan of the soundtracks and don't mind replaying the same 3DS game on a bigger screen.

Scavengers Studio's adventure starts with a great idea but loses itself in execution, providing an adventure that's intense at times and empty at others. It could be completed in around six hours but took me a few more as I tried to "linger" everywhere to fill my diary, the most appreciated gameplay component, to 100%. Objectively, it's not a bad game, and those who enjoy this type of setting may appreciate it, but as a reviewer, I must provide an objective evaluation. I reluctantly give it a passing grade, as it was in my personal Wish List for two years but bored me, particularly towards the end, when the vague ending clarified some questions. A pity, as I really tried to enjoy it, and despite my efforts, I couldn't even earn a Platinum trophy due to the game's short nature, as it's not included in this PlayStation exclusive. A real shame.

There's much to say about Hogwarts Legacy, but the most passionate advice I can give is to try it yourself, taking the time to enjoy the plot, characters, and adventures that unfold before your eyes, losing yourself in the numerous and high-quality details Avalanche has prepared. Revisiting the iconic series locations is an indescribable joy for Potterheads, but even those who haven't seen the films will be captivated by the game’s landscapes, feeling both familiar and new. As a Harry Potter fan, I might be biased, but Hogwarts Legacy is almost everything you've always wanted to play. Ignoring the absence of Quidditch and other lessons that would have been nice to attend, the game still offers an enormous amount of hours to fully immerse yourself.

One Piece Odyssey is an excellent product that will delight fans of the saga and JRPGs. You need to enjoy the genre before venturing into this latest chapter, as it differs significantly from previous action-heavy installments, offering a more technical and paced experience despite the wonderful battle animations. The gameplay is solid and satisfying, with the only minor flaw being the low difficulty, allowing for smooth gameplay until facing bosses that provide a bit more challenge. The environments and characters are faithful to the anime, bringing a smile to fans' faces, especially in Memoria, where old faces appear, adding a bit of uncertainty to the story that makes it enjoyable and not just a recap of past events. Highly recommended, and let's hope other famous brands take inspiration from this title to provide new and exciting RPG stories (Naruto, cough cough...).

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII – Reunion is much more than a simple remaster, thanks to Square-Enix embracing Unreal Engine 4, offering new high-definition scenarios, textures, and polygons, along with a fully orchestrated soundtrack and new voice acting, making it almost a remake. However, the rest remains faithful to the original, from animations to the corridor-like map structure, interrupted by connection points due to the hardware of the time, though now lacking the loading times. Playing Crisis Core today is somewhat controversial due to the aged gameplay and the story's timing, especially considering the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Technically, it's well done, much more than usual, showing the saga's love for its fans and Square-Enix. Still, it's not a title for everyone, recommended especially for those who finished FFVII back in the day and missed it or want to replay it. New players might be better off waiting to avoid spoilers.

As usual, we remind you that these opinions may resonate with some players while others may disagree entirely, so don't dwell too much on what's been said. Fans of LEGO and pure, classic creation may appreciate this title. However, from our perspective, it's a real disaster, sadly having the potential to be a good game. Bricktales doesn't excel in graphics, music, or story, but most disappointingly, it fails in gameplay, which becomes a real nightmare, especially as the frustration grows throughout the adventure. The characters aren't particularly entertaining or distinct, lacking the charm that has always characterized the series when working with existing franchises. Moreover, ClockStone Studios clearly didn't adapt the concept well to consoles, and since we specialize in them, we can't recommend it. Let's hope for a better LEGO title, maybe from Light Brick Studio again.

The DioField Chronicles is a well-made, interesting, and engaging real-time strategy game with excellent music and graphics, and gameplay that entertains without tiring, thanks to mission variety and longevity. These allow players to savor the game in small doses or immerse themselves for hours while progressing the plot. The minor flaws are easily overlooked, except for the lack of our language, which may affect sales. However, for those proficient in English (or French, or German, as these are available in subtitles), it can still be fully enjoyed. The game is available on all platforms: Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, and PS5. The deluxe version includes a digital artbook and soundtrack, with the option to transfer the latter to USB and listen anywhere.

This latest title is clearly born from immense passion, evident in every pixel of its unique and fitting graphics, despite differing opinions. The attention to detail, story, and characters elevate it to iconic status, becoming an instant classic in the series. The characters' charisma and connection feel so natural that it seems they've always existed, perfectly integrated into the game universe. This return marks the end of a mature and characteristic cycle, concluding exactly as it should, leaving a deep and mature sentiment with a practically perfect/imperfect ending achievable in about 20 hours (more or less depending on individual skills and use of hints). Play it if you want the nostalgic feeling of old graphic adventures and finally discover Monkey Island's secret, hidden for thirty years.

Unfortunately, there's not much else to add because there's no more content to discuss. We Are OFK captures attention with its colors and visuals, and the marketing did an excellent job with the trailers, but is it because the visual aspect is all that matters in this "game"? The spontaneous question is: why pass it off as a game when it's clearly a five-episode TV series, meant to be watched on YouTube while munching popcorn and fiddling with your phone? The game itself, when starting, shows a Netflix-style interface asking, "Who's watching?" Maybe we're not the only ones with this impression. The choice is yours.

In conclusion, is it worth trying? If you have NEVER played The Stanley Parable, you shouldn't even be here. But at this point, I absolutely recommend trying it because even if you've spoiled everything, it's still an experience worth having. If you've played The Stanley Parable but haven't played Ultra Deluxe, you also shouldn't be here. But does anyone follow the rules on this site? Anyway, since you're here... Ultra Deluxe isn't what you expected, and I don't know if I can recommend buying it, but having lowered your expectations so much, maybe you'll appreciate it a bit more. I'll say what's banal and expected, like everything in Stanley Parable: the choice is ultimately yours. The title, in its entirety, remains an excellent game, finally accessible to the console audience, and I can't help but recommend it. Whether this is enough or not is no longer up to me to decide.

Ghostwire Tokyo has a lot to offer. If you're passionate about Japanese settings and lore, this title will provide hours of gameplay with a constant sense of progression, interesting side missions, and an overall structure that encourages 100% completion. Even in the endgame, the game remains fascinating, and exploring Tokyo as Akito and KK leaves a lasting impression, especially with the reflective ending. Highly recommended.

Wanderer is a fun, well-crafted game with a detailed narrative and well-designed puzzles. Currently lacks subtitles and translations, making it less accessible to Italian players. Visuals are enchanting, though technical aspects like game physics and exploration need refinement. Recommended for future time travelers.

The remastered version of Skunkape Games' titles is well-received, improving the original games in various aspects and bringing them to consoles. However, controls with a pad instead of a mouse can be frustrating. Still, once accustomed, the game is enjoyable.
