Mario Petillo's Reviews
Metal Gear Survive is a good survival and crafting game, but fun to play only in the first hours. Konami takes a chance with his idea, but fails due a plenty of monotone moments.

The overall experience is pleasant and flows pleasantly, without ever boring but at the same time without that burst of fun that you might expect.

Dragon Quest Builders on Switch is a nice porting, with the same problems as the original title. Less good to see and technically less perfect, it manages to fill these gaps thanks to the portability of Switch, which increases the fun and immediacy.

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is an arena-brawler with a beautiful roster, a confused gameplay, and lacks of a 1vs1 mode. Well-balanced, linked to eSports, has some elements that could be adapted to the casual player or the Final Fantasy fan, to make itself more complete.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is an incredible fighting game, with a rock-solid and spectacular combat-system, and the unique Dragon Ball Universe behind it. Competitive and fun, except for the not so brilliant story mode, is an absolute must-have for both the fans of the saga and the fighting game lovers.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a visual novel that clearly does not open to a vast audience and that does not appear as the title that everyone will love. It is important to take into account the strong narrative component, which is different from what we are used to in the mainstream videogame: the visual novel urges us to sit down - or lay down, as you prefer - and read, read and read again, keeping the same image static in the background.

The new mechanics are interesting and can give a good breath of freshness to the game, bringing back into vogue all the classes. The problem remains of having an adventure that is an end in itself, that does not give any kind of reward and a card design that is not always on point, compared to previous expansions.

Episode Ignis is the best proposed dlc of Final Fantasy XV. Thanks to a very fast and fascinating battle system, the hour of play can easily flow: besides the narration is at higher levels than the previous DLC and offers interesting additions.

Final Fantasy XV Comrades is a discreet DLC in theory, but in practice it offers a gameplay that is too flat and with a few cues, especially from the point of view of the plot.

Little Nightmares remains a small pearl this year, for the tones used and for the artistic direction, but it will not be with these additional content that will fill the gaps that had already come to an end in April. The hope is that with the latest DLC there will be a chance to have a narrative construct more substance than reflection, even without disdaining the latter.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole is a nice sequel, with so much fun and irreverence, but equally repetitive.

Shadow of War brings the video game to epic: it's an exciting tale in Middle-earth, less rich than Christian Cantamessa did with the first one, but in the same time throbbing.

Nothing really new for Hearthstone, but a pretty cool adventure with three wings and totally free for us.

Not as beautiful as we expected to see, but Final Fantasy XII is still a pearl of jRPG, also in the 2017.

Crash trilogy is a pleasure for eyes and our nostalgia: the Sony mascot has returned in the best way with the same gameplay as twenty years ago and the same success.

A few steps ahead from Gladiolous' DLC, but transforming Final Fantasy XV into a third-person shooter is not a winning idea.

Tekken 7 is a fighting game with a great gameplay, but with few content in the single player mode. The story, however, is pleasing and full of content, unlike what happened in the previous chapters. Tekken 7 is the most balanced and immediate Tekken ever, too.

Injustice 2 is a massive fighting game. A lot of content in single player and interesting RPG elements to personalize the characters, support an interesting and well orchestrated storyline.

A brave and funny mix between mousou and RPG, with some incertitudes and too much repetition.

Journey to Un'Goro is an interesting expansion pack, with some new pretty good ideas. Maybe the Quest feature could became binding very fast, but Blizzard, also this time, has managed to innovate his game.
