Warriors Abyss is a title that tries something new from the classic musou, but you can tell from several factors that we are dealing with a product with a limited budget: the base price is in line with low-medium cost productions (we are talking about € 24.99 for the standard version), the graphics are not particularly well-finished (even the game menu is very basic) and as a last point the fact that it was announced and released on the same day, without any advertising campaign. The duration is not particularly long either. Even if you die and start over often, to complete a single run of the game, therefore overcoming all 4 areas, it takes about 3-4 hours. Clearly with such a large roster you will stay longer, completing it several times and with always different characters. Overlooking the plot and graphics, the gameplay of Warriors Abyss is fun and suitable for short gaming sessions. If you like musou and are looking for different experiences than usual, Warriors Abyss can meet your needs. If you're looking for the original musou experience, you can always play it safe by choosing Dynasty Warriors Origins, the latest chapter in the saga.

Urban Myth Dissolution Center is an investigative title with the right balance between plot and investigation, but the total lack of challenge could be a little entertaining for those looking for a more challenging experience. The plot touches on important and profound themes, as well as being full of twists and accompanied by a truly sensational and memorable cast. Urban Myth Dissolution Center is also quite long-lasting despite being sold at a low price. In fact, we are talking about about 15 hours to complete it. I warn you right away, there is a lot of reading in Urban Myth Dissolution Center, but I have some great news for you: the game is completely subtitled in Italian. I played the title on PlayStation 5, alternating my sessions also on PS Portal. My advice is to play it in small doses, given that the gameplay is reduced to a minimum in this kind of experience and in the long run it can be cloying.

Phantom Brave The Lost Hero marks the return of an IP that has been dormant for too long. Nippon Ichi has tried in every way to introduce the series to several generations of gamers with its re-releases. A few months after the arrival of yet another remastered on new platforms, here comes Phantom Brave The Lost Hero, the sequel that every fan has been waiting for for years now. You don't see many RPGs like Phantom Brave around, for this reason I consider it an excellent addition to your collection. The confinement system is a mechanic that, if learned well, can be really rewarding. But in addition to the confinement, NIS's latest work uses the classic turn-based RPG canons, which makes it modern in many aspects. The graphics remain more complex to judge as it uses the super deformed character technique. For me, it is a quality that can make me immediately associate this game with the others developed by NIS. However, I understand that it may be too cartoonish for many. If you can get past the graphics, though, you'll have a really complex and fun RPG on your hands.
