Hypercharge Unboxed shooter Hypercharge starts with an interesting premise, that of toys come to life, and manages to build good levels around this concept, but it remains too anchored in old design quicksand, with a horde tower defense loop carried over equally from games of two generations ago, so much so that it very quickly becomes stale and uncomfortable. The shooting and movement mechanics do not live up to the genre and waste the potential put on the table by the level design, which is instead thoughtful and challenging in terms of explorability. The co-op component is completely unable to counter some of these stumbles, a flaw on which we must pile an insufficient bot companion AI and a PvP component that is probably dead in the bud. Hypercharge Unboxed is a big “Too bad!”, in short, but never too big a mistake not to allow the Brits at Digital Cybercherries to learn from their mistakes and deliver, why not, a 2.0 version that fixes some of the game's basic problems.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Precinct
May 19, 2025

The Precinct takes the sandbox freedom of a GTA and puts us on the other side of the law, with a freedom to be rewarded and a good variety of mediums, crimes, and situations. The secondary content are additions that do not change the gameplay equation, and Fallen Tree Games' commitment to recalling the films of the 1980s and 1990s is lessened visually and sonically, but manages to land on its feet mechanically. The Precinct is a successful experiment of which I hope to see evolutions and growth, in the future, perhaps leaving behind some UI-level uncertainties.

5.9 / 10.0 - Despelote
May 12, 2025

Despelote is a title with a sure aesthetic feel but which, in other areas, is too uncertain, imprecise, and directionless. The lack of an incisive narrative and a central mechanic that is scarcely enjoyable even in the short term are the two most obvious shortcomings of a production that I really do not understand who it is for. In its totality, Despelote gives me the idea of a work intended for a museum and not a console, a pixel canvas too ephemeral in its goals to claim real pleasure in interacting with it on a videogame level. As a non-interacting audiovisual work, I am convinced, Despelote would be much more impactful.

May 8, 2025

Nostalgic value is usually the last thing I consider in my evaluation of a remake or remastered of an “old” game, but Lunar Remastered Collection thrives on nostalgia, but not the rogue kind that makes you remember things better than they were, rather the kind that is respectful of your memories-even for those who, ironically, those memories were never created-and shows you how much things have changed, over time, and how much, only in some cases, to look to those who pursued innovation and did not reiterate it. With a combat system of unexpected depth for two mid-1990s titles, skillful use of pixel art, a manageable and commensurate degree of difficulty for almost the entire experience, and nearly two hours of anime cutscenes between the two games, Lunar Remastered Collection is a JRPG collection that anyone who loves the genre must have in their collection. Is there a rush to get it back? I don't think so, but it is absolutely a title that I think needs to be experienced, aware of the time that has passed and grateful for how the old man can know, if only for a bite, again, whether enough time has passed.

6 / 10.0 - Monaco 2
Apr 28, 2025

I've said it: the market cannot be made of masterpieces alone. It does, however, hurt a lot to see that the palpable potential of the first Monaco was, in this Monaco 2, poorly translated into a sequel that does not improve on the previous chapter in virtually any aspect, in fact creating new problems where there were none. An inadequate camera, a procedural map generation system that needed to be structured more conscientiously, and a multiple-objective structure that learns no lessons from the far more skillful--at least in this--mobile games, make Monaco 2 a quietly avoidable title at a time, for the market, when teams as small as Pocketwatch Games manage to pack far more memorable game instances.

8 / 10.0 - MLB The Show 25
Apr 11, 2025

MLB The Show 25 is not a revolutionary chapter, but to those approaching this franchise for the second time, it has the appearance of a complete and, above all, polished product. San Diego Studio confirms its mastery in packaging a product that is technically excellent, quite accessible and respectful of baseball tradition, even with sections devoted to the history of the most important groups, socially and professionally, in the history of the sport. This chapter sees the introduction of interesting new features that are more than sufficiently integrated, but there is still room for improvement, especially in the onboarding of new players. Better, right now, in the marketplace there is none, so while considering the strides the IP needs to make, MLB The Show 25 is THE baseball game if you find yourself interested in the sport. Let's hope for a slightly bolder 2026 iteration.

8.9 / 10.0 - Atomfall
Mar 25, 2025

Atomfall is a raw gem, great in its own right and great in the context of far too titanic titles. Give it and give me credit, and I can assure you that if you're looking for an immersive sim with an interesting narrative and a sprinkling of shooter and survival, Atomfall is what you're looking for.

8.9 / 10.0 - Caves of Qud
Mar 20, 2025

Caves of Qud is a unique experience in the roguelike RPG scene. Its deep and detailed world, combined with incredibly flexible gameplay and a fascinating emergent narrative, makes it a must-have title for fans of the genre. However, its difficulty and steep learning curve may deter some players. For those looking for a challenge, Caves of Qud is a must-have title. Death is part of the experience, and each new game brings with it new knowledge and strategies. However, those who prefer more guided experiences may find the game frustrating. With continued support from the developers and an active community, the future of the game still looks full of surprises.

7 / 10.0 - Dreamcore
Feb 28, 2025

Dreamcore is a title that manages to impress with its unique atmosphere and the courage to offer an experience that is different from the usual horror. The choice to abandon jumpscare in favor of a more subtle creepiness is undoubtedly successful, and the journey through liminal spaces is fascinating. However, the game could have dared more in giving depth to the environmental narrative and in providing more reading elements to those holding the pad. Although exploration is at the heart of the experience, the lack of more meaningful detail in the environments and the absence of a more defined progression system can make the player feel adrift. If you're intrigued by dreamlike atmospheres and fascinated by the idea of losing yourself in a world that defies the rules of reality, Dreamcore is definitely an experience worth trying, but if you're looking for a title that also offers a more structured narrative or greater interactivity, you may find the experience a bit limited.

6.5 / 10.0 - TankHead
Feb 1, 2025

Tankhead is a divisive title: on the one hand it offers a unique visual and gameplay experience, and on the other hand it features design choices that might be challenging for many players. If you are looking for a game that defies convention and are not afraid of challenging gameplay, Tankhead could be a fascinating experience. However, if you prefer more polished action and a more accessible narrative, you may find the title frustrating rather than rewarding. Tankhead is an out-of-the-box experience, a game that dares to experiment and that, for better or worse, leaves its mark.
