Marcello Paolillo's Reviews

Scrive di videogames e cinema. E vita vissuta. Pavo non è il suo nome anagrafico; è il suo nome vero.
7.5 / 10.0 - MotoGP 18
Jun 7, 2018

MotoGP 18 is a great racing game, powered by Unreal Engine 4, with all the bikes, teams and tracks of the official Championship. Milestone delivers an incredible racing experience.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate it's the game Switch deserves, but not the one it needs right now. A good porting, with good mechanics but poor graphics performances.

Harrowstorm brings player back to Skyrim with two new missions. It's just a taste of what's to come for The Elder Scrolls Online and we enjoyed it.

7.5 / 10.0 - Martha is Dead
Feb 24, 2022

Martha is Dead is a suggestive adventure game: the narrative plot is very interesting, as well as the way the story is told. Too bad about the gameplay not being too in-depth.

Need for Speed Unbound is a good mix of cartoon characters, graffiti and frantic racing, but nothing more.

7.5 / 10.0 - LEGO 2K Drive
May 23, 2023

LEGO 2K Drive is a good racing/open world, where imagination is the only limit. Too bad for a certain underlying monotony.

Harmony: The Fall of Reverie is a visual novel with an unexpected depth, perhaps the Don't Nod's truly artistic videogame.

7.5 / 10.0 - Helldivers II
Feb 19, 2024

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.

7.4 / 10.0 - Call of Cthulhu
Oct 31, 2019

Call of Cthulhu on Nintendo Switch succeeds with strong storytelling and captivating choices, but poor graphics and gameplay.

7.3 / 10.0 - The Escapists 2
Jan 11, 2018

This action puzzle, now avaiable on Nintendo Switch console, is the same - funny - title released on other platforms some months ago. Very good, indeed. [OpenCritic note: Marcello Paolillo separately reviewed the PS4 (7.5) and Switch (7) versions. Their scores have been averaged.]

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.

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is an atypical - but funny - RPG with a lot of TPS features, made by Dimps (also known as Dragon Ball Xenoverse developers).

Payday 2 on Nintendo Switch will not revolutionize the genre, but it's a very good porting, except for some technical issues and no voice chat at launch. An enjoyable cooperative FPS, so far.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy is a female-only beat 'em up, but the results doens't works really well; special moves are too easy to execute, but SNK Playmore did the right thing by allowing 2 player tag battles.

Oddworld Stranger's Wrath on Switch it's beautiful, it's fun and - yes - it's insane, but it just feels a bit old.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris it's not particularly memorable, but is also an enjoyable action JRPG for every SAO fan.

Broken Porcelain is good at telling a story, and creating a world filled with horror things. However, the handling feel of this sequel is not satisfactory enough.

Even with some technical issues and a lack of originality, Oddworld: Soulstorm is still one of the ideal games of what Abe's adventures should be. Good.

7 / 10.0 - High on Life
Dec 18, 2022

Despite being often repetitive, High On Life manages to impress with off-the-wall humor from the creator of Rick and Morty.

Aliens Dark Descent is a good real time strategy game set in the Alien universe and equipped with some winning ideas that are hard to overlook, such as the feature of permanent death. It's not gonna become the next XCOM, but it's a pretty enjoyable RTS nonetheless.
