8.3 / 10.0 - Sea of Stars
Sep 19, 2023

Sea of Stars is a proper homage to old-school RPGs, thanks to a splendid pixel art and a combat system that, while not fully expressing its potential, refreshes the concept of the turn-based system.

A prequel which unfortunately takes a clear step backwards, in spite of some interesting ideas.

An interesting musical role-playing game, well written and excellently acted but with a little too much carelessness on the aesthetic side and songs not always memorabe.

Fires of Rubicon is Armored Core as it should always have been: the new game delivers a great combat system and mobility, but unfortunately, it's hampered by a few shortcomings no longer excusable to a world-class studio such as From Software.

Aug 22, 2023

A sci-fi thriller too cryptic with its story and with very little substance on the gameplay side, for an unfortunately unsatisfactory result.

Aug 17, 2023

A sequel that first of all thinks about smoothing out the previous imperfections, before offering a series of very well implemented innovations overall.

The game flexes all the muscles with the excellent use of Unreal Engine 5 but is undermined by obsolete tricks to create tension.

A peculiar visual novel, which represents the most mature work made by DON'T NOD.

6.5 / 10.0 - Amnesia: The Bunker
Jun 5, 2023

Amnesia: The Bunker is a more guided experience than it claims, where ingenuity and improvisation are replaced by tedious resource management.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is a remarkable recreation of the original game, aimed at both the original players and the newcomers.

A challenging and complex dungeon crawler, great for veterans of the genre but also accessible to newcomers.

Wo Long has an addicting combat system, but also troubles in finding the right balance: the new RPG from Team Ninja leans too much in the player's favor, while reducing the sense of challenge.

Octopath Traveler II is a small but noticeable gem, just like its predecessor, too bad that it indulges in past flaws without really improving them.

9.2 / 10.0 - Hogwarts Legacy
Feb 6, 2023

A beautiful transposition of the Wizarding World, Hogwarts Legacy is both a tribute to the Harry Potter universe and a litmus test largely passed by Avalanche Studios with their first, big and delicate project.

6 / 10.0 - Gungrave G.O.R.E
Nov 22, 2022

Gungrave G.O.R.E. tries to build up upon nostalgia and good old times with a gameplay which is basically the same of the old chapters. The result feels... well, out of time.

7 / 10.0 - Harvestella
Nov 14, 2022

A good mix between life-sim and GdR, Harvestella seems to be a game addressed to the less experienced players, rather than the expert ones.
