Marcello Paolillo's Reviews
LEGO Horizon Adventures is an adventure that knows how to entertain, managing the difficult task of pleasing both fans of Aloy and enthusiasts of brick-based games.

Vessel of Hatred is a DLC that manages to do what many additional content struggle to do: expand the base experience without distorting it. The narrative is dark and engaging, while the gameplay (thanks also to the presence of the new Spiritist class) is enriched with intelligent mechanics and challenges that never fall into the trivial. The balance between exploration and action keeps the player hooked, and each new area explored has something to say, visually and thematically. In short, a content that marks a new chapter in the world of Diablo 4, without forgetting its roots.

God of War: Ragnarok on PC is yet another confirmation that expertly crafted ports are still possible, despite everything. Stunning graphics (though you'll need a good PC to handle all that visual splendor), gameplay as sharp as Kratos' blades, and a gripping narrative that won't let you go. Sure, there was the risk of relying on past success and resting on its laurels. It doesn't revolutionize, nor does it need to: it perfects what already worked on the PlayStation platform, with a confidence that few titles manage to maintain. And that's perfectly fine.

Inspired by the classics from FromSoftware, Enotria stands out for its deep connection to Italian folklore, celebrating the natural wonders of our land and its rich cultural, theatrical, and musical traditions.

Astro Bot is a gem, a game crafted with heart that manages to unite tradition and innovation. Despite its "small" size, the latest title from Team Asobi delivers an extraordinary experience thanks to the power of the PS5 and the clever use of the DualSense.

Concord is an immense waste of resources (and it's not even a free-to-play), a project that also runs the risk of not being able to recover in the long run.

Visions of Mana aims to bring players back to a classic RPG experience reminiscent of the 1990s. Accepting these conditions, you'll still find a pleasant, colorful action RPG that can entertain you for a good number of hours-nothing more, nothing less.

Black Myth: Wukong captures attention with its impressive graphics and the allure of Chinese mythology, but despite the visual experience and a promising combat system, the game suffers from several issues that prevent it from excelling.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is the same, immersive, action open world played on PS5, perfectly ported to PC. Great job, Nixxes.

South Park: Snow Day! sets aside the RPG elements of previous titles, in order to offer a multiplayer action game with pronounced roguelike mechanics, unfortunately quite repetitive in the long run.

The Outlast Trials isn't a bad game, thanks to a dose of blood and violence. The emphasis is placed on the multiplayer experience, who undermines the enjoyment for players accustomed to solo playthroughs.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is, most likely, what fans were hoping to be able to play, sooner or later. A superbly crafted compilation, respectful of the original material, capable of allowing us to relive all the typically '90s feeling of Lara Croft's first three adventures.

Helldivers 2 is a fun multiplayer co-op shooter clearly inspired by Starship Troopers, and that's not too bad. Some server issues (which will be resolved eventually) and good - but not outstanding - graphics make Arrowhead Game Studios' game a certainly well-crafted title, but just nothing more.

Suicide Squad is a flawed game, a partial disaster for every Batman fan and for anyone who doesn't digest the Game as a Service (GaaS) structure that Kill the Justice League imposes.

UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves is 100% pure nostalgia for all those born and raised in the 1970s and 1980s. Unfortunately, pad in hand, the game is mediocre, between technical problems and a gameplay redundancy.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is overshadowed by the name it carries: Free Range Games have indeed managed to recreate the atmospheres that Tolkien's fans will love but, in terms of gameplay, the game fails to shine as it should.

Sonic Superstars takes the blue hedgehog back to his retro 2D roots, once again: so, if you're a super nostalgic gamer, it's a good title, but don't let the classic appearance fool you, 'cause the game is also fresh and modern.

With The Crew Motorfest, the Ubisoft franchise finds new vitality, primarily thanks to a proudly arcade-styled driving system that also embraces online challenges.

Despite being a "minor" game, Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is the best possible return for a franchise that has certainly been historic and that remained silent and quiet for many years, but that has still a lot to say.

Baldur's Gate 3 is an epic game, not so much for any individual element, but rather for the sum of its parts. The result is certainly what fans have been waiting for for far too many years. Great job, Larian.
