Yuri Polverino's Reviews
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is not only a refined and conscious product, it is a total emotional experience, capable of shaking and leaving a deep mark. It is a work that speaks to the belly and the heart, that dares, moves and surprises, with masterful world building, a narrative dense with meaning and gameplay that pays homage to the past without remaining captive to it. It is rare to come across something so powerful and complete: a game that takes you by the hand and walks you toward an ending that, in whatever form you experience it, will stick with you. No rhetoric: this is a masterpiece, and that's all.

South of Midnight is a product that lives on two souls. The first, the artistic one, is truly extraordinary. From the sound to the overall look, through the settings and narrative fabric, everything works great. The changes of pace and the constant surprises (even of the plot) will help you make up for the potential repetitiveness from which the gameplay suffers. The latter, in fact, is very basic and shallow; an obvious sacrificial victim in development, Compulsion Games clearly decided to focus heavily on something else. A compromise, in short, that in the end does not disqualify the experience itself too much, rather it does not allow it to excel. A pleasant, original game, with sometimes memorable elements (the music!). An excellent addition to the Game Pass catalog and, all in all, a pleasant surprise in this first part of 2025.

The Last of Us Part 2 is one of the most incredible productions the video game has ever seen. It is not an exaggeration: the spasmodic expectation of the public will be repaid by a game of unprecedented intensity, combined with a varied gameplay and designed to improve the original experience, without losing sight of the pillars that have always characterized the franchise.

Gears 5 is a solid, complete product that offers an excellent variety of content. The campaign, more courageous and profound than in the past of the series, presents a new protagonist full of facets, which projects the story towards more mature and emotional approaches. In addition, the open world phases, although structurally basic, work great and enrich the game universe with new details and stories.

Able to blend narrative intensity and gameplay like never before, and to propose what is undoubtedly the best open world ever, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a mammoth work, impressive from all points of view.

Overall, The Heist – considered as the first piece of a larger story – is a great start. First episode of three, it represents a good start for the season pass "The city that never sleeps". The story is excellent, the characterization of the new character, Black Cat, is very apt and more generally the activities entertain and entertain. Those who expected some substantial news also on the gameplay side will be a little disappointed; collectors will be able to enjoy the three new costumes available.

The Curse of Osiris lives on highs and lows: on the one hand the quality of the contents, on the other the quantity, too small to represent a consistent introduction capable of shifting the balance.

Outcast is a remastered that keep the feeling of the original versione, driven by a good narrative structure that put the player in a big world populated by different alien races that give a lot of different quest. Instead the gameplay is old and unfriendly, with a graphics that doesn't work well.

COD WWII is a great chapter for the brand: solid gameplay and intense, dramatic single player campain. War Mode is a great add and, in general, the game is well developed.

Assassin's Creed Origins is a beautiful open world action-adventure game, a real reborn for the Ubisoft saga made possible by a fresh new combat and quest system. The story is passionate and the character of Aya is very cool. Perhaps the game is not perfect and had some trouble of game desing, but we can surely say that is very good and a perfect way to follow for the next chapter.

PES 2018 improve a lot gameplay, animations and feeling during the game. Despite for the squad licence and the single player experience, still less attractive than the other big football game.

Destiny 2 is a great game, more better than the first one because of many more end-game activities, all well structured and organized. The story is amazing, made of very beautiful cutscenes and characters written on the line of most contemporany movies. Unfortunately the difficulty is low and the progression of the Guardian could be very fast and easy. Despite this the game is great to play and share with friends: waiting the raids and the trials of the nine, we could easly say that Destiny 2 will be loved by fans and newbies.

The four maps of Absolution are trying to excel, but they are all four interesting and well-developed. Rather than pointing at a particularly successful set-up, this time it was decided to focus on a qualitative coherence that can only be appreciated.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a good experiment by CI Games, to set his famous brand in an open-world structure. Gameplay and the managing of the items are good, but the IA make the experience less good as it could be. Instead the map is pretty good and the variety of the quests too, mixed with some problems about texture that put the graphics level in a medium category. Suggested for who loves snipes games andh the brand too.
