The Origami King does not reach the excellence of its impressive predecessor, The Thousand-Year Door, precisely because it decides to overshadow the PRG component.

Forza Motorsport 5 is a great simulator, supported by an immoderate love for the automotive world, and full of class touches (the partnership with Top Gear is very useful in this sense). It is also a somewhat “trunk” episode, with certain aspects developed in a hurry (the music is really terrible), which represents a good start but not a perfect lap.

State of Decay 2 continues in the footsteps of its predecessor, broadening and smoothing out a decidedly winning formula. Although some of the features of the title of Undead Labs have made school (coming to "infect" even unsuspected productions like This War of Mine), the title remains a unique product of its kind. An open world structure and third-person action gameplay blend with role-playing and management elements, creating an intelligent and effective mixture. The real strength of the product, however, lies elsewhere: in the ability to generate an emotional bond between the player and the characters of his community, each committed to surviving the horror by remaining attached to their ideals, their passions, their personality.

Catalyst is not a flawless reboot, but it remains a very deep experience, filled with well-designed quests and interesting secondary activities; most of all, the game takes advantage of the environment in a clever way, making it strongly interactive for the players.

Abzu is an interactive exposure of wonderful underwater nature, concentrated but memorable. However, the game is still missing an important message, a sort of subtext that can impress the player. It remains an important debut for a young team that will be able to achieve great things, with a little more experience.

Batman Arkham VR is the first experiment of Rocksteady in the field of virtual reality, a successful attempt to get closer to this technology and to explore its expressive possibilities. The experience is really short, but the game has many other qualities. The graphics are among the best in the launch line-up of PlayStation VR, and the game shows excellent gameplay ideas, and a dynamic storytelling stitched around the player's movements.

RIGS is an addictive game with a fresh concept and a pretty intense pace. Mixing an arcade sport simulation and a First Person Shooter, Guerrilla delivers some enjoyable action, either alone or online.

Wayward Sky is a brilliant title, with some innovative ideas and a peculiar design. It is an adventure with a soft pace, all based on not too elaborate environmental puzzles. Yet, Wayward Sky plays in an fervent way with the sense of scale and the perspective deceptions of Virtual Reality.

This second DLC is a great add-on which concludes the 'Souls Saga' made by Hidetaka Miyazaki. With a stunning art design and a lot of new enemies, weapons and bosses, The Ringed City is the perfect ending of an incredible series.

If you have never played it, in short, do not be scared by the really higher cost compared to the standards of similar operations: the price / quantity ratio is still in your favor
Ace Combat 7 stands out as one of the most convincing episodes of an ancient and glorious series.
Journey to the Savage Planet follows in the footsteps of Metroid Prime without pretending to reach or exceed the master.

Enjoy the exaggerated, disproportionate, inordinate carnage of Dead Rising 3. The new Capcom title leaves the narrative permanently in the background and focuses all on the dynamics of free-roaming. The missions tend to look a bit alike, a bit of repetition makes its way after a few hours, but basically what matters is simply experimenting with new, sadistic ways to dent that wall of rancid flesh that runs through the streets of Los Perdidos. Dead Rising 3 arrives with a guessed structure and a co-op mode that entice you to devote yourself to the massacre, discovering the absurd combinations of weapons and vehicles invented by the development team. It will not be one of those experiences that remain in your heart, but certainly the game accompanies the launch of Xbox One in a more than dignified way, offering itself as a solid and fun pastime, not recommended only for those who really do not digest the philosophy of sandboxes.

Killer Instinct knows how to be technical to the core for those who want to deepen certain mechanics, but at the same time not unattainable even by those who do not know what a "frame trap" is.

Nothing new for those who have already worn the Spider-Man costume on PS4, but Insomniac always remains a guarantee of great quality.

One of the merits of PlayStation VR, beyond anything, is the fact that it brought Rez's great HD re-release to PS4. If you have never had the opportunity to try this milestone of the video game, you can buy the title even without having the viewer, sure to rediscover an ageless masterpiece. However, the ability to play with the headset is more than welcome. The gaming experience gains in terms of engagement, and the addition of Area X gives us a glimpse of how current, magnetic and wonderful Rez's formula still is. The hope is that this unprecedented level is just the starting point for an experience sewn around the potential of PlayStation VR.

The Evil Within is the most impetuous realization of Mikami's creative vision. Finally autonomous, yet so careful to recover fragments from the game designer's other hallucinate visions, the title tells a story that mixes alienating moments and oppressive clashes, strange hermetic symbolism with brutal violent exaggerations.

Despite the obvious uncertainties in the first game sequences, Outriders was able to conquer us. What might have seemed like a classic shooter in dynamics and uncertain in the story has instead proved to be a shooter with assuring gameplay, and able to stand out for its density and richness of content. The campaign unfortunately remains subdued on the narrative front, but the gameplay sculpted by People Can Fly has something magnetic.

The new Ratchet & Clank is half a reboot, half an original adventure. It has the old school gameplay, surprising new weapons and gadgets, and a huge veriety of situations to support an interesting adventure. The last part of the story mode, however, becomes too easy and too messy when the weapon upgrade system neutralizes the level of difficulty. Shorter than the original Ratchet & Clank, is a great comeback for the duo anyway.

Afetr a wobbly start, Michonne's mini-series returns on the right path. This last episode is, literally, What We Deserve: a story focused on the characters and not on the fan-service, a touching tale of revenge and forgiveness.
