DETECTIVE - The Motel fails on all fronts in delivering the immersive experience it promises, featuring puzzles that are overly simplistic, trivial, and more akin to an escape-room structure than a true investigative adventure. With restrictive gameplay and a linear, unremarkable story, the only aspect we found enjoyable was the graphical presentation—yet even that is insufficient to redeem a brief journey that ultimately offers nothing substantial by the end of the day.

Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion sets out as an ambitious project, but in trying to distance itself from its roots to win over a broader audience, it loses much of the identity that once made it stand out. Its variety of content can’t disguise a certain superficiality, while many of the promised improvements feel only half-realized, leaving the game struggling to make a mark either narratively or technically.

White Day: A Labyrinth Named School struggles to rise above mediocrity, revealing its age from the very first moments, with frustrating and simply unenjoyable gameplay mechanics, while its visuals and sound design unmistakably betray its mobile game origins.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is, overall, a missed opportunity. An interesting video game experiment that offers original and often surprising content, but fails to keep the player's interest alive beyond short gaming sessions with minigames and quizzes that are certainly well-made, fun and also interesting, but not varied or deep enough. It still is a title that deserves at least a try: the idea behind it is interesting and manages to enhance the user experience, offering an engaging look at the hardware and features of the console.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remastered shows inevitable signs of aging and may struggle to win over modern players or fully recapture the impact it once had. However, despite its gameplay limitations, there’s no reason why anyone seeking an unconventional story—whether a series fan or not—should pass on this new edition. With numerous improvements, it stands as the definitive version of a classic.

Until Dawn (2024) struggles to honor the original game despite its graphical upgrades and new features. Technical issues detract from the experience, raising questions about the necessity of a remake for a PS4 native game priced at €70. While the original owners may not find it worthwhile, newcomers—especially PC players—might appreciate this chance to explore its strong narrative and horror atmosphere.

Tides of Tomorrow has proven to be an undeniably enjoyable experience, and we certainly can’t say otherwise, with a deep and thought-provoking story supported by truly well-written characters that keep the emotional engagement high from start to finish. At the same time, however, it’s hard to ignore how the game never quite manages to go the extra mile: the ambitious mechanic tied to following other players’ choices is, in fact, underutilized and, at various points, even narratively inconsistent, while the gameplay remains extremely simple and far from the revolution promised at its announcement. It remains, however, a title we would recommend to fans of the studio’s productions and to those seeking an interactive and engaging narrative experience that is unpretentious.

To answer the questions we posed in the introduction: no, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is not a good remake. The removal of a significant portion of the original’s content creates a void that the new additions fail to fill, while certain stylistic choices and various minor shortcomings prevent this version from establishing itself as the definitive replacement for the 2009 game or its most recent remaster. At the same time, it would be unfair to dismiss the title as a failure, as taken on its own it remains a genuinely enjoyable experience, capable of preserving the spirit of the series and backed by writing that had already won over many fans in the past.

Shadow of Doubt is an incredibly ambitious and conceptually brilliant title, with the potential to offer endless hours of gameplay thanks to its procedural structure. Unfortunately, its execution falls short in several areas, preventing it from reaching its full potential, and the technical and gameplay issues present in its current state are unacceptable for an official release. If these flaws were resolved, Shadow of Doubt could genuinely redefine the genre and deliver on its revolutionary promise.

Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut is a re-release that could have limited itself to offering technical and QoL improvements and would have done a far better job, but unfortunately it overreaches with around 25 minutes of new content. It quickly becomes evident that these additions can’t match the brilliance of the original, and in some cases even undermine key moments, particularly for newcomers experiencing the game for the first time.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S confirms itself as a solid experience, capable of entertaining both Puyo Puyo and Tetris fans thanks to a wide variety of game modes. However, the new content of this re-release for Nintendo Switch 2 is too scarce to convince those who have already played any of the previous chapters, especially the second, to repurchase the title. The Adventure mode is neglectable, while additions such as the duo mode and the gameshare represent interesting but not revolutionary ideas. That said, if you are new to the series, this version is without a doubt the most complete currently available on the market, ready to give you many hours of pure fun.

Enchantment under the Sea is a great DLC that represents a significant improvement compared to previous expansions, both from a narrative and gameplay point of view, setting itself up as the correct evolution of the base game. Unfortunately, an unimaginative setting that does not honour either the original work or its sources of inspiration, and some rooted problems since the release of the title, once again prevent Atomic Heart from joining the big names of the genre, although it still is considered another step in the right direction.

Just Crow Things is the perfect game for those moments when you just want to disconnect and dive into a relaxing, carefree experience. Despite the occasional technical or audio hiccup, we’re confident this title will entertain you, offering hours of pure fun in a world as colorful as it is delightfully absurd.

Dread Delusion offers an extraordinary experience that takes us back to a time when everything was less straightforward, and we had to figure out what to do and where to go, managing to deliver a nostalgic yet still solid experience. However, we cannot overlook the numerous flaws that plague the game, leaving it feeling almost incomplete and imperfect, though we are sure that genre enthusiasts will still find plenty of enjoyment in embarking on this adventure.

The ZeniMax Online Studios team delivers another noteworthy effort with Gold Road, an expansion that, while lighter in content compared to previous releases, still manages to shine in its execution. The available features stand out with exceptional quality, though the experience is held back by notable flaws, including lackluster side quests and systems in need of further refinement. Despite these shortcomings, Gold Road remains a strong addition for fans of the base game.

My Hero Academia: All’s Justice is anything but a perfect product. It’s not without its issues, it isn’t always flawlessly balanced, and for that very reason, it might not appeal to those who aren’t particularly fond of Kōhei Horikoshi’s original manga or who aren’t familiar with 3D fighting games. Yet, what was said in the introduction remains true: we are looking at a project created with passion, a game made by fans for fans, and despite its flaws, none of the issues encountered truly manage to compromise the overall experience of a title that knows its audience perfectly and knows how to win them over.

Grunn is a small yet charming adventure, perfect for unwinding after a stressful day, but don’t be fooled: the numerous dark secrets hidden within this town will captivate you, urging you to complete the game in a single sitting. The blend of classic 'gardener simulator' style with an atmosphere far more unsettling than it initially appears creates a unique experience that we highly recommend.

It’s not so easy to give this expansion a definitive verdict. On the one hand, we have to admit that the quality of the new content is undoubtedly excellent, further enriching what remains one of the best 2D platformers ever made; on the other hand, it’s impossible not to think that it could have been handled and integrated much better. Everyone to Bellabel Park remains, however, a highly recommended addition for anyone who loved Super Mario Bros. Wonder: it isn’t the definitive expansion it could have been, but it’s still a return to the Flower Kingdom that’s absolutely worth experiencing.

Static Dread: The Lighthouse proved to be a refreshing break from the usual parade of cinematic AAA releases, offering a more contained yet no less gripping adventure. It draws players in with a mysterious world steeped in evocative Lovecraftian atmosphere, and a narrative that urges you to explore, to uncover and above all.. to doubt.

The Darkest Files is an extremely engaging text-based adventure, capable of bringing us to the anguished post-war Germany thanks to an endearing writing and intriguing gameplay mechanics, even if not fully utilized. Although not free from flaws, including an excessive amount of bugs, the game manages to stand out for the depth of its message, today more than ever of fundamental significance.
