A good scripting and some humour aren't enough.

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.

5.5 / 10.0 - Kill to Collect
Apr 26, 2016

A challenging action game, that requires an excellent mastery of its simple control scheme. A roguelike experience interesting on the short run, but too tedious and boring to grant a sufficient replay value. The charming cyberpunk style is not enough to overcome these issues.

Arkanoid: Eternal Battle is saved in the corner thanks to a series of accessory modes that, between classicism and modernity, know how to pay tribute in a dignified way to a work that has made the history of the medium.

6 / 10.0 - Pac-Man Museum+
Jun 4, 2022

Compared to the "basic" PAC-MAN Museum, there is in Short, in Plus little more than a few playable new entries and a vaguely more sumptuous suit. Nothing that justifies a possible repurchase, and it is worth wondering if even users less accustomed to the worlds of Pac-Man, in the absence of that "museum" value that the title promises, can find satisfaction in front of a handful of episodes that, probably, will not be able to entertain for more than a few hit-and-run sessions.

6 / 10.0 - LOUD
Jul 15, 2022

It is a bare and little elaborated offer, that of LOUD, a title with an independent breath that has no big cards to play if not a catchy pop punk soundtrack, unfortunately subservient to a playful recipe that leaves something to be desired.

In looking for a way to compose a product suitable for children, Microids seems to have lost sight of what is really needed to convey a bit of healthy fun pad in hand.

6 / 10.0 - Xenoraid
Nov 16, 2016

A traditional vertical shooter with a single good idea but many gameplay flaws, restrained by an anonymous and unattractive look.

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.

6.5 / 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.

Those who had fun with Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken will find everything that featured that joyful experience, with its quite rough irony that was yet able to bring a smile. The others might have to take Rocketbirds 2: Evolution in a more cautious way, because of its weak control system and lack of content.

6.6 / 10.0 - Rad Rodgers
Dec 12, 2016

The restless Rad and foul-mouthed Dusty debut on PC with the first episode of a new series. Their adventure is a classic run'n'gun, like the ones we used to play in the '90s. It puts on the plate six levels and an awful boss-fight, mixing platforming and shooting in a very trivial way.

It demonstrates qualities that could appeal to lovers of the tough and intransigent challenge

6.7 / 10.0 - Disney Art Academy
Jul 22, 2016

Disney Art Academy will not make you a skilled cartoonist. It is a product designed for the little ones, with clear and simple tutorials that can make the game attractive and widely accessible for anyone. The software is carefully developed: in the hands of children, the Disney Magic will make a remedy for any lack.

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.

Bear With Me - Episode One is the brief prelude to a new series of noir episodic adventure. It seems definitely to have a few tricks up its sleeve, at least in narrative terms.

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.

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.

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is a fair product. It still shows some quality difference between the various disciplines, and its AI is not well balanced, but it's worth to play it with friends or family, as it can give moments of fun and lightheartedness with its multiplayer mode.
