8 / 10.0 - MLB The Show 22
Apr 11, 2022

The simulation of San Diego Studio proves to be solid even in the new vintage: the gameplay remains sumptuous, even if some modes begin to feel the weight of the years. From this point of view, we expected something new. The ability to play it directly on the GamePass on Day One is an added value for all baseball fans on Xbox, while the arrival on Nintendo Switch will make many players happy.

The restoration is more or less in line with expectations: the inclusion of Radical Dreamers, a discreet reinterpretation of the audio / visual sector, a good localization in Italian and new game mechanics to attract younger users or newcomers to the genre.

There was great curiosity for this fifth chapter dedicated to the world of American Supercross. Milestone has confirmed the good things it had already shown with the MXGP series, even if the overall result is not exceptional.

8 / 10.0 - WWE 2K22
Mar 11, 2022

Never testimonial was more apt: Rey Mysterio, in fact, with a spectacular 619 has swept away all the uncertainties of the past projecting the Visual Concepts wrestling series into a new dimension, that of the next-gen.

7.8 / 10.0 - GRID Legends
Feb 25, 2022

Codemasters racing thrives on light and shadow. To attract the largest number of players, GRID Legends seems to have lost in part the common thread that had characterized the very good reboot in 2019. The trumpeted story mode "Driven to Glory", despite the good intentions, fails to add to the storytelling that drama and epicness (it does so in an aseptic, artificial way) that characterize the world of motorcyclesport.

6.3 / 10.0 - Rugby 22
Feb 20, 2022

Rugby 22 takes the oval and charges with his head down. There are several interesting ideas and a lot of work to do.

7.8 / 10.0 - Circuit Superstars
Feb 4, 2022

Circuit Superstars is not a masterpiece but it is a game that has a certain charm. The car fleet is really remarkable, the driving system is surprisingly challenging, the graphic style is pleasant, the local multiplayer is hilarious: what is missing? A bit of variety.

7.5 / 10.0 - MXGP 2021
Dec 3, 2021

For the 2021 season Milestone has worked mainly up to the point of improving an already quite satisfactory base, postponing the technical revolution for future chapters. It will not be the most explosive episode of the series, but MXGP 2021 remains definitely appreciable for its increasingly simulation-oriented soul. There are some flaws, such as an AI that is certainly not extraordinary and a graphic sector that can be improved, and there are very few substantial innovations: for veterans and motocross enthusiasts it is still an appointment undoubtedly recommended.

At a superficial glance Football Manager 2022 might seem like little more than just an update: the new chapter of Sports Interactive's football management simulation is much more. That one is delivered to the annals is probably not the best Football Manager in the thirty-year history of the series, but a good episode yes.

7 / 10.0 - NHL 22
Oct 29, 2021

NHL 22 finally brings the series into the next-gen: the beginning is encouraging but we are still far from that magnificence that had characterized the EA series for long periods in its first thirty years of life.

7 / 10.0 - Into the Pit
Oct 26, 2021

A greater difficulty in the clashes was desirable: overall, Into the Pit remains a title to try for lovers of the genre, especially if you are a subscriber to the Game Pass.

8 / 10.0 - UnMetal
Oct 16, 2021

UnMetal is one of those games that you start without a real reason and end at all costs. It is not a masterpiece be clear, but a very good game to have some healthy laughter in front of dialogues that are a mix of absurdity and pure idiocy. UnMetal is a tribute from beginning to end to the Metal Gear series: more than the typical action hero, Jesse Fox looks like the somewhat crazy clone of Snake. For those looking for something fun to play and for all lovers of retrogaming, UnMetal is a breath of fresh air in a videogame landscape that takes itself a little too seriously.

7.5 / 10.0 - Aragami 2
Sep 18, 2021

With Aragami 2, the development team changes art direction, fleshes out the gameplay with everything that has come out in recent years and adds content on content, preferring quantity to quality. With a little more care and a better finish, Aragami 2 could have been a jewel: as it is it remains an effective product, but still leaves a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth.

For those who have never played Quake, the remastered is an unmissable opportunity to fill this gap and to appreciate one of the subjective shooters that marked an era. Carmack and Romero with their desire to innovate (and their quarrels!) have taken the video game industry into a new dimension: Quake is the game that has marked - indelibly - the history of id Software.

8 / 10.0 - RiMS Racing
Aug 23, 2021

RiMS Racing is not a perfect simulation but it is a good starting point for the future. Despite a number of limitations and problems, Raceward Studio's course is distinguished by a driving model that will be loved by some, hated by others. Overall we liked it, despite a rather challenging learning curve. The Career mode offers a good number of contents even if a greater differentiation would have been appreciated, while the possibility of mounting and disassembling your own car has exalted us a lot, especially at the beginning.

One of the most beautiful surprises of this 2021: Greak: Memories of Azur is really a title that will make the happiness of all lovers of "Metroidvania" or even better of "MetroidVaTrine". The artistic realization is mind-blowing, while the gameplay takes up the best of the action platformers and multiplies it by three.

We loved SEGA's Olympic proposal: Tokyo 2020 Olympics - The official video game is fun and enjoyable to play. We would have liked some more discipline and above all some whole new game modes (maybe a "historical" to relive some legendary records). Overall, SEGA's multi-event title works and will give decidedly pleasant afternoons and evenings to live in the family in pursuit of the Olympic dream. See you in Paris 2024!

Even 15 years after the release of the first Ninja Gaiden it is easy to appreciate its majesty and all the nuances of the combat system proposed by Itagaki: it takes a few minutes to "regroup" again how to parry a shot, activate a devastating combo or decapitate an enemy and be conquered by the tight pace of play. It takes very little for a newb to appreciate the superb qualities of a combat system and gameplay that still manage to keep up with the best exponents of the action category. Because Ninja Gaiden also means secrets, areas to explore and puzzles to solve. Overall, the gameplay and level design of the two Sigmas also make a sniff in 2021, while the weaker of the three is confirmed to be the usual Razor's Edge.

A good tennis simulation that, despite a few flaws and frustrating controls, has managed to achieve a much better result than the original game.
