Unscored - The Ascent
Mar 24, 2022

The Ascent comes on PS5 with an offer substantially superimposable to that of the counterpart for Xbox Series X, obviously considering the state of the game after the updates published in the months following the launch. For this reason, the latest edition of the Neon Giant title keeps intact its balance of strengths and weaknesses, the latter for the most part linked to some superficiality too much in the playful definition of the title.

5 / 10.0 - CrossfireX
Mar 4, 2022

CrossfireX makes its debut in the Xbox ecosystem with a playful and narrative structure full of criticalities and shortcomings, which end up affecting the compressive enjoyment of a proposal as generic as it is dated.

7.8 / 10.0 - GTFO
Feb 16, 2022

GTFO is a concentrate of love and wickedness, the merciless manifestation of a concept as inflexible as it is made with care and dedication.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human is a title that struggles to bear the weight of its ambitions, as a result of a development path that in all probability turned out to be bumpier than expected.

Almost a year after the debut of Monster Hunter Rise on Switch, the expectation of fans on PC has been rewarded with a valuable port, which not only preserves the merits of the original version but enhances them with a good collection of technical improvements.

7.5 / 10.0 - Battlefield 2042
Nov 21, 2021

Battlefield 2042 immediately shows enormous potential, fueled by a playful set-up that hosts modes of great depth and really promising innovations. Unfortunately, DICE's latest work is also one of the most disorganized chapters of the series, as spectacular as it is littered with imbalances and lightness, which affect the choral rendering of an offer that still fails to give the best of itself.

The new version of the GTA Trilogy is still able to offer fans hours and hours of nostalgic "play", as long as they are able to overlook the obvious roughness within the offer.

8 / 10.0 - Back 4 Blood
Oct 12, 2021

Back 4 Blood is certainly not a perfect title, but overall the proposal of the Californian team is effective and well thought out. It goes without saying that to fully enjoy it you will necessarily have to find companions at the height, but we can assure you that the game is worth the candle.

Diablo 2 makes its return to the market with a completely renewed graphic design, modeled to fully enhance the dark essence of one of the most iconic arpg ever. Every single piece of the visual sector has been shaped to fit perfectly with the "dark fantasy" canons of the original title, in full respect of the dogmas of a dark and enveloping artistic direction. The conservative philosophy behind the project is felt above all on the playful side, with a proposal that has remained substantially untouched compared to twenty years ago, to the delight of the most inflexible veterans.

Death Stranding makes its debut on PlayStation 5 with a Director's Cut that, while offering players a good dose of unpublished content, does not consistently alter the quality balance of Hideo Kojima's latest work. The ludonarrative essence of the production has therefore remained the same as two years ago, with all its merits, its defects and its overflowing expressive power.

8.2 / 10.0 - Deathloop
Sep 13, 2021

Deathloop is an original, visionary and courageous work, a playful experiment that returns to reiterate the indisputable talent of the Arkane Studios team, which over the years has never stopped putting itself to the test with ever new challenges, often in line with the commercial logic of the triple A market. The result of the studio's latest creative bet is a brilliant game design exercise, at the base of a ludonarrative construct as multifaceted as it is compelling, blessed by an absolutely majestic artistic direction. Deathloop is a one-of-a-kind game, which unfortunately is torn from excellence by some rather important flaws.

Flight Simulator lands on Xbox Series X with an edition that returns to confirm the great talent of the developers of Asobo Studio, authors of a technically surprising conversion. On Microsoft's flagship, the title keeps substantially intact the qualities of a monumental graphic sector, which exploits the power of the cloud to compose extraordinarily suggestive photorealistic scenarios, among the meshes of what is a unique sensory experience of its kind.

The first narrative expansion of Watch Dogs Legion: Bloodline is a strange creature: a kind of hybrid between the classic course of the series and the more libertarian approach followed with the latest iteration of the brand.

8 / 10.0 - Chivalry 2
Jun 27, 2021

Chivalry 2 represents the natural continuation of a creative journey that opened more than a decade ago, when the Torn Banner Studios saga was nothing more than a sensational mod for Half-Life 2.

Net of some technical roughness, especially visible on old gen, and of the indisputable limitations of the engine used, which are also reflected in the actual extent of the interventions made on Mass Effect 2 and 3, the Legendary Edition represents an excellent opportunity to visit once again the wonderful universe modeled by the Edmonton team.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Nioh Collection
Feb 4, 2021

Overall, therefore, the remasters of Nioh 1 and 2 boast a solid and satisfying performance profile, while not marking a clear step forward compared to the previous versions of the two titles, at least as regards the general performance of the graphics sector.
