9.2 / 10.0 - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Apr 24, 2017

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the natural evolution of arcade racing par excellence of the praiseworthy and unfortunate library of the old and dear Nintendo WiiU. A real definitive edition, aesthetically at the top of the form, stunning from the point of view of content, and in short almost a moral obligation for those who had never had the opportunity to get their hands on the title and the respective add-ons in due course.

Kirby's Blowout Blast is an action-puzzle game which is perfectly suited for young gamers. The Nintendo 3DS game contains 20 new stages and new boss fights but it does not last long

A good scripting and some humour aren't enough.

6.5 / 10.0 - Inked
May 2, 2018

The value of Inked lies above all in the ability to stage a small story of love and suffering by means of a very personal style and excellent visual impact. The Journey of the Hero - and, in parallel, of its creator - is a magnificent oriental painting in motion to which the refinement of a few touches of digital ink is enough to shape a truly enchanting glance.

8.6 / 10.0 - The Messenger
Sep 3, 2018

How difficult it is to make all this coexist in a single product, yet The Messenger succeeds, moreover with a maniacal attention to detail and an overall harmony

It should not be denied that the diptych can be a very good entry point for novices, a modern bridge that allows it to move from Pokémon GO to a "more videogame" experience without getting lost in the network of technicalities proposed by the recent RPG episodes

Despite this and other minor imperfections, Yoshi's Crafted World remains a virtuous representative of its genre segment, as well as a convincing start to the season for Nintendo Switch 2019.

8.8 / 10.0 - Super Mario Maker 2
Jun 26, 2019

As it stands , Super Mario Maker 2 represents today, despite some weaknesses, the most complete episode of the series: fanciful for the most passive platform devourers, indispensable for every creative of the Mushroom Kingdom that aims to be defined as such.

Two years after the birth of Yooka and Laylee, Playtonic returns to work on the exploits of the funny animal duo making Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair , a platform title "à la Rare" that , compared to its predecessor, it leaves the cards unexpectedly positive.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD is a job of remastering well done, as we would like to see more often applied also to titles of greater appeal.

Sorry that a series like Patapon, still unique in the rhythm game genre, is struggling to find peace among the pixels of its new editions for PlayStation 4.

6.8 / 10.0 - Struggling
Aug 29, 2020

Like its repulsive protagonist, Struggling is a two-faced herm. It has a stomach-turning glance, yet irresistible. Alternate questionable design choices with fragments of good entertainment. It is a poison (in single) and a panacea (in pairs). You may hate it, if patience is not your forte; or worship him, if you are a person of spirit. One thing is certain: you have hardly had - and will have - to deal with a video game as absurd as Struggling.

No one suspected they needed Tetris 99, yet we all know how it turned out. Just as no one probably felt the need for a competitive Super Mario Bros. for thirty-five users; but now it's on the eShop, free for all Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, and it's going to be really hard to do without it.

7 / 10.0 - The Falconeer
Nov 7, 2020

It would be ungenerous to deny Tomas Sala's work good basic qualities, such as to ensure this peculiar "bird's eye" combat simulator a certain solidity at least on the technical-artistic front. What emerges after a few hours in the skies of the Ursee, however, is that The Falconeer is a product that shines more in aesthetics than in actual ability to involve the player within the wet world he chooses to tell.

5.5 / 10.0 - Balan Wonderworld
Apr 1, 2021

Yet Naka and Oshima's new toil collapses under the weight of a shoddy, disoriented realization, mostly unable to pay homage to the old days without being unnecessarily cumbersome. What Balan Wonderworld leaves good, to top it off, is an imagery that might be worth taking back in the future, as long as you find him a less crumpled playful suit.

8 / 10.0 - R-Type Final 2
May 5, 2021

It's hard to think of a product that's better suited to R-Type Final 2 r-typers. In a pedisse retrace the trail left by the famous arcade shooter of the eighties, the revival operation by Granzella Inc. modernize here and there the playful recipe of departure, finally returning an experience with a high nostalgic rate, with much above-average difficulties, just like in the old days. Whether this is the real ending of the series or not, try not to miss the exciting opportunity to take flight among the stars again.

8.2 / 10.0 - Minute of Islands
Jun 21, 2021

It only takes just over four hours to fall in love with Minute of Islands, an indie adventure that plays with the user's expectations, attracting him with his boyish graphic manhood in a corrupt, exhausting island world, with an uncertain history, as on the other hand, the nature of the characters acting within it is uncertain.

7.8 / 10.0 - Axiom Verge 2
Aug 24, 2021

With his new project Thomas Happ undoubtedly chooses to take the most difficult path, creating a metroidvania that reconnects to Axiom Verge just enough to then proceed in the direction of an essentially different experience, which neglects the quality of the clashes in favor of the journey between dimensions and science fiction scenarios.
