6.5 / 10.0 - Spirit of the North
May 21, 2025

Spirit of the North is an experience that places great emphasis on the emotional aspect of the adventure, offering an evocative journey through enchanting Nordic landscapes accompanied by a symbolic and quiet narrative. However, some technical and gameplay limitations can greatly affect the overall experience of the title. We still recommend giving it a chance, however, for those looking for a relaxing and exciting adventure.

Spirit of the North 2 is a title that manages to retain the soul of its predecessor, improving various aspects and expanding the gaming experience with new mechanics. The evolution towards an open world offers greater freedom of exploration, making the red fox's journey even more immersive and meaningful. However, the transition to a more ambitious gameplay brings with it some technical imperfections that can affect the experience, especially in moments that require precision. Despite these obstacles, the game manages to convey its magic thanks to a fascinating visual narrative and an evocative artistic sector, consolidating its place among the most evocative indie adventures of recent years.

Soulslinger: Envoy of Death is a title that has interesting ideas and classic roguelike mechanics, but unfortunately it still doesn't manage to be a 100% complete and interesting experience. The gameplay manages to entertain, albeit with some problems in terms of enemy artificial intelligence, while the level of performance is certainly the most negative aspect of the experience. It is a title to keep an eye on, which with some improvements and caution could certainly invite us to give it a second chance.

8 / 10.0 - Koira
Apr 15, 2025

Koira is a very intimate and delicate experience, capable of transmitting emotions not with words, but through gestures and silence, thanks to a sensitive narration and an impactful artistic component. Although the "puzzles" proposed are extremely simple, the bond between the two protagonists, which evolves along the journey, makes this adventure short but intense.

Bleach Rebirth of Souls is a great homage to fans of the anime and manga series, adapting most of the story arcs while adding a few new ones. While most of the story has been summarized, the way it is told is very weak, with well-made but poorly animated 3D models. The combat is suitable for newcomers to fighting games, with not too many combos to learn and more strategy to exploit. Unfortunately, the online component doesn't have much to offer, and with a disastrous launch on PC it certainly didn't help players to grow fond of the title.

Mar 26, 2025

YOUR HOUSE succeeds in telling a complex story, supported by a refined artistic style. The overall experience is rewarding and worth living, especially for those who appreciate deep narratives.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector proves to be a worthy successor to the first chapter, managing to expand and improve on the original formula without distorting its essence. The narrative is still its strong point, with excellent, engaging writing that leads the player to ponder the Sleeper's fate. The introduction of new game mechanics adds further strategic depth to the experience, making every decision even more important. However, some elements of the gameplay are poorly balanced and the lack of Italian is a blow to those who are not fluent in English. Despite some flaws, the title proves to be a deep and engaging experience, offering hours of gameplay full of tension and meaningful choices. In short, for those who loved the first chapter and for fans of narrative RPGs, this is undoubtedly a title to be recovered.

6.5 / 10.0 - Warden's Will
Jan 20, 2025

Warden's Will is a title that, despite having a good basis for becoming an interesting roguelite, struggles to stand out in a genre already filled with excellent and established products. We're talking about a title that might appeal to those looking for a fast-paced experience, but is unlikely to leave a lasting mark on the hearts of fans of the genre. With future updates and an expansion of content, the game may have the potential to improve, but at the moment it remains an incomplete work.

7 / 10.0 - Chroma Zero
Jan 7, 2025

Chroma Zero is a title that manages to stand out in the puzzle game scene thanks to its structure, colour-based system and minimalist but effective artwork. The puzzles prove to be complex, and the learning curve is particularly steep; however, thanks to a supportive community ready to offer a little help, the puzzles can be tackled with greater ease. With additional work on optimisation, this title could establish itself as a good benchmark among modern independent puzzle games.

8 / 10.0 - Farewell North
Dec 24, 2024

Farewell North turns out to be a great experience, touching and unique, capable of interweaving an emotional narrative with gameplay that, despite its simplicity, manages to involve and convey deep thoughts. Despite some minor technical limitations and a pace that may not suit everyone, the title stands out thanks to its artistic compartment. It is a game that invites the player to reflect, to immerse himself in a symbolic world and to be touched by emotions.

8.7 / 10.0 - ANTONBLAST
Dec 10, 2024

Antonblast proves to be a title that, while remaining firmly rooted in the roots of classic platformers, manages to stand out thanks to its chaotic, destructive and personality-rich soul. With frenetic and well-structured gameplay, a highly polished art department and a sound design perfectly in tune with the action, the game offers an immersive experience for fans of the genre. Despite a few minor technical bugs and a learning curve that may be challenging, Antonblast presents itself as a successful homage to the platformers of yesteryear, capable of winning over both nostalgic and new players alike.

Sorry We're Closed is an adventure that manages to stand out for its fusion of classic elements and innovation, fully capturing the essence of survival horror. It is a title that aims to offer much more than a simple scary experience, offering an introspective journey that invites the player to reflect and confront their own demons and personal difficulties. Despite some technical flaws and the change between fixed camera and first-person view that may be unintuitive for some, the game shines with its overflowing personality. Its strength lies in its ability to convey deep emotions, offering a unique experience with a strong narrative impact.

7.5 / 10.0 - Everholm
Nov 19, 2024

Everholm presents itself as a successful blend of cozy game and mystery adventure, offering an interesting narrative that progresses slowly but consistently with the genre. Although the combat and some repetitiveness may be less engaging for some players, the real strength of the title lies in the interactions with NPCs and the exploration, which pushes for answers to the mystery surrounding Lilly and Melanie.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead has the task of transporting the terror proposed by the famous film series into a videogame experience. Although the title has some elements of repetitiveness and technical problems, the game manages to maintain an eerie atmosphere and utilises sound design to best engage the viewer.

7.8 / 10.0 - Europa
Oct 23, 2024

Europa is a title that stands out for its visually relaxing approach, managing to create an atmosphere reminiscent of the best works of Studio Ghibli. Its light and accessible gameplay, coupled with a thoughtful narrative, makes it perfect for those seeking a contemplative and pressure-free experience. Europa is a journey of exploration that enchants, but may not completely satisfy those who want something innovative and non-derivative.

9 / 10.0 - Neva
Oct 14, 2024

Neva presents itself as a title that manages to skilfully balance narrative and gameplay mechanics, where its strength lies in its ability to combine an excellent artistic compartment, which reflects the emotions of the protagonists in every detail, with gameplay that evolves along with the relationship between Alba and the wolf. Neva is an experience recommended not only to platformer and action-adventure lovers, but to anyone looking for a game capable of offering a strong narrative, supported by smooth gameplay. An adventure that touches deep chords and deserves to be experienced from start to finish.

6.6 / 10.0 - Akimbot
Sep 12, 2024

Akimbot attempts to bring some nostalgia back to the modern gaming market, but fails to hit the mark with a plot that leaves no impact and easily forgettable protagonists. Although the game is partly saved by well-implemented platforming and shooting mechanics, unfortunately what it leaves the player with is only a sense of disappointment.

7.7 / 10.0 - Caravan SandWitch
Sep 8, 2024

A very convincing title in terms of plot and gameplay, albeit with a few technical flaws that the developers will surely resolve on day one. We recommend Caravan SandWitch for a peaceful and quiet new adventure, great for taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

7.2 / 10.0 - Creatures of Ava
Aug 16, 2024

Creatures of Ava succeeds in proving to be a unique title of its kind, offering interesting insights into the themes addressed and laying a solid foundation for the evolution of a non-violent approach in gameplay. The game world is original and well realised, making the project worthy of attention. However, the title is not without flaws, especially in terms of longevity, due to the repetitiveness of some mechanics, although well conceived. We still recommend keeping an eye on it, especially if you are curious to experience it for yourself.

6.8 / 10.0 - Deep Beyond
Jun 7, 2024

Deep Beyond is a walking simulator that does not have many pretensions, presenting itself as a light and linear adventure. To begin the approach to this vast genre, this title may be just right.
