Despite some flaws at its day-one, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is an enjoyable experience on PC and this port is far from the issues we recently experienced on the PC release of The Last of Us - Part I.

The Last of Us Part I, on PC, is a broken game. We are not talking about the qualities of the title itself – which will always remain those of an undisputed masterpiece – but about the way in which a product of this magnitude has been converted to a personal computer. In the face of this, if you feel the need to relive the adventure of Joel and Ellie, our advice is to turn to the PS5 edition. In case you are not happy owners of a Sony console, you would better wait for the ritual patches, which – we are sure, but it will still take time – will fix the Naughty Dog title on PC, as it should be.

Despite reminding us of carefree years, in which video games were experienced in a significantly different way, The Legend of Dragoon is not the gem of JRPGs forgotten over time. The "Sony Final Fantasy" is in fact still a title too derivative, which has from its some creative flair here and there, lost in a sea of banality due to main characters without charisma, a plot overall really bland and a soundtrack certainly not very incisive. A bad game? Not at all. Only, not the great immortal classic that many remember.

In this PC port, the game features all the good things that made it stand out on PS5.

Marvel's Spider-Man Miles Morales on PC is the same, excellent game seen and played two years ago on PlayStation 5 consoles, plus the usual boost offered by the potential of your PC gaming: beautiful to see, with some uncertainty on the frame rate side that will undoubtedly be corrected in the coming weeks with the usual ritual patches, the game suffers from a certain basic repetitiveness, as well as being 'only' a more of the same of the previous Marvel's Spider-Man. Wearing the tights of the Spidey of Harlem is in any case an experience to live, especially if you missed it on PS5.

Sackboy on PC is the same fun and colourful adventure we enjoyed on PS5 back in 2020.

This is a very well made porting for some cornerstone experiences in Uncharted's franchise.

If you missed this two intriguing games until now, this may be the best chance to follow Max and Chloe's path, as Life is Strange and Before the Storm are well fitted on Nintendo Switch.

Unscored - Syphon Filter 2
Sep 29, 2022

Included in the PlayStation Classics collection offered to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, Syphon Filter 2 is an all-round sequel, able to demonstrate how it actually took very little to improve the ideas of the original chapter. The adventure of agents Gabe Logan and Lian Xing has aged quite well, despite belonging to a generation of consoles now very distant in time, representing in fact a great 32-bit classic to be rediscovered before immediately.

Aug 12, 2022

The PlayStation Classic in question is in fact a diamond in the rough, still able to return great sensations from the point of view of playability in the strict sense. To be recovered if you are eager to discover (or rediscover) a classic that has certainly traced the way for beat 'em up to meetings released in recent years.

Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection is a great compilation, an enhanced port with merits, especially Nathan Drake's fans should enjoy.

The care placed in the phase of level design and structuring of the rooms – never superficial or anonymous – are able to make The Elder Scrolls Online Blackwood an excellently crafted reinterpretation of what we experienced in the fourth chapter of the TES saga released back in 2006, and now "resurrected" among the moors of ESO.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Flames of Ambition is therefore just a taste of what the MMO of Bethesda and Zenimax will offer us later this year.

Diablo Immortal tries to catch the attention of Diablo lovers and newcomers alike. It is true that its microtransactions are way more than they should, but you can still ignore them. We will update our review with our verdict in the coming weeks.

Terminator: Resistance is a simple tie-in, but it doesn't push the boundaries as much other entries in the genre.

Only for hardcore fans of Bethesda fantasy games, The Elder Scrolls: Blades on Nintendo Switch is still, at its core, more of the same of the mobile version.

Munch's Oddysee is the second chapter of the Oddworld saga on Nintendo Switch. However, it cannot offer an experience absent of disappointment and imperfections.

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.

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.

There are some really good things in New Gundam Breaker, but others are terribly wrong. We would recommend playing one of the other far superior Gundam games.
