Mario Petillo's Reviews
The Shadow of War second DLC offer some new tipical gameplay solutions, but nothing really special for Baranor. There are still more assault than we really want to do and all the experience seems to be diluted.

From Dusk Till Casa Bonita is a pleasant DLC that will engage you for two hours in an adventure in line with the base game.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The Elden Ring Arena is fun, but not without its strings attached. After a few hours spent in the different modes, we realized that, beyond the simple entertainment generated by PvP clashes, there are too many gaps to be able to define this addition as a true multiplayer component.

Neverout it's a very basic puzzle game, too much. The basic idea is appreciable, but there are no great ideas and the variety is reduced to the bone.

Devil May Cry HD Collection is a lazy work by the developers: compared to the previous HD remastered it doesn't add anything and it even more accuses the old age of the saga.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League could have been saved, in its evaluation, by the narrative plot: beyond what is the goodness of writing of the protagonists, however, there is nothing else, because even the idiosyncrasies with the comic book counterparts clash before the eyes of passionate readers.

It is evident that Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 suffers on the one hand but satisfies on the other. Regarding the first aspect, we are faced with a huge problem: it is a lazy job, which brought Konami not too many hours of work, except for the choice of proposing artwork in the background of the 4:3 Metal Gear Solid; otherwise it was a matter of retrieving products already in the publisher's possession and putting them into a single collection

Freedom Wars Remastered should have presented itself in 2025 with some more content, not just with a higher difficulty mode. It is not enough to debut on home consoles with an improved resolution and 60fps, especially if the models remain the same as those that had been offered at a much lower definition and on a smaller screen. This operation seemed to us intended only for nostalgics or those who just don't want to let the memory of Freedom Wars go into oblivion. A real shame, especially because if the intention was to test the ground for a possible sequel it will be difficult to convince Bandai Namco to invest in the operation.

Slitterhead is a set of fascinating ideas, which with a better application from a technical point of view and with a larger budget would probably have taken flight. Unfortunately, Toyama fails to package a product that is completely enjoyable to play. There are extremely original aspects, Alex and Julee are the most interesting Unicum available and appreciating their skills will be the first thing you will do in the almost 15 hours of gameplay necessary to reach the conclusion.

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is a fun game, but it's not enough. We appreciate the effort to adapt a sport that was based on other rules to a video game content that has to come to terms with the needs of the gameplay.

South Park Snow Day tries to change the genre of reference of the franchise once again by moving towards the rogue-like: the cyclical setting, however, is sunk by an underlying repetitiveness and runs with little content and a battle system that is too confusing.

The Cruel King and the Great Hero is a very delicate game, a particular experience, which does not want to upset any such style and faces a fairytale tale with calmness and serenity.

Pok'mon Quest is a funny adventure, without excessive pretensions, with new features from the point of view of the gameplay that fascinate: changing the capture system with a cooking system and recipe preparation is interesting, however slow. Free-to-start is not excessively burdened by purchases. However, it remains an adventure from a mere pastime and nothing more.

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.

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.
