Even PlayStation users finally have the opportunity to try one of the most important works released outside the indie undergrowth, able to soar with arrogance even among the most prominent titles of the time thanks to its captivating formula, made with a care at times maniacal. FEZ is now a piece of modern video game history that certainly needs to be recovered.

It is not at all easy to be able to appreciate D4 in its entirety, above all because the Japanese surrealism is one of those ways of narrating that not everyone is able to fully accept. And the same goes for the acceptance of an expanded story in an episodic videogame series. Once you have passed these rocks, what you will find in front of you is a work with very particular and refined features, an ode to the author's video game not sung out loud, which adopts its own register to communicate with the user.

Those who do not know him, to satisfy his thirst for curiosity will go looking for some videos and will probably archive the whole thing with the most superficial of comments, asserting that Undertale is basically just yet another title in pixel art that is worth less than everything else just because its aesthetic is secretly considered a deterrent. Undertale, in fact, is none of that. Nor is it the object of praise for certain hipsters who reward pacifist messages and invitations to civil dialogue always and in any case. It would be a stupid exploitation that does not do justice to the articulated work behind this game, which has the merit of demonstrating to an entire genre (and also to the sector) that you do not need dizziness investments to offer users something different than usual. But perhaps Toby Fox, in his heart, knows that indies are metaphorical monsters that humanity has skilfully confined to the ground. Just like in Undertale.

Gears of War 4 does not disappoint expectations and indeed significantly improves a formula already tested and almost perfect. The campaign features a new generation of heroes and stages a handover between the past and the near future, while the classic and more competitive multiplayer modes are rock-solid, fun and very challenging, potentially able to keep you busy for as long as possible. we can really quantify.

The formula of the first game is hugely improved, giving countless possibilities of different play styles. Karnaca is wonderful and the level design is superb: The Clockwork Mansion is impressive and so is the level with two different fluxes of time you can jump into without constraints. The game is highly replayable, offers a mode without powers and is one of the most inspired games of this generation.

Narcosis is a non conventional, intense and well written survival horror game. The abyss is a fascinating setting and the character is forced to survive and fight from inside a heavy diving suit, constantly monitoring the oxigen level. However, gameplay is too slow, awkward and inaccurate.

Yooka-Laylee is a love letter to 3D platformer of twenty years ago. It is everything a fan of the best RARE works can expect, the real Banjoo-Kazooie spiritual successor. Despite some camera issues and the not so smooth controls, it deserves your attention.

Despite the decent story, Roots of Insanity has an unforgivable amount of issues like poor animations, a terrible combat system, a bad implemented random loot system. It looks like an Early Access game that needs a lot of work and polishing.

Perception starts with good ideas, but fails to build a really original game around them. The atmosphere is good during the first minutes, but It feels like a guided walking simulator without real scares.
