Alan Wake remastered is a good upgrade, both for old fans and new. The new textures and the modernized lighting system make the game a lot prettier to look at. A pity the cutscenes are 30 fps locked and their animations a bit sluggish, though.

8 / 10.0 - Rollerdrome

Rollerdrome is a catchy title. Roll7 wins with this successful sport-shooter formula

8 / 10.0 - Steelrising
Sep 7, 2022

Steelrising confirms the golden age of Spiders' team, with a solid and compelling soulslike. Nothing new, but a complete, funny and rewarding game.

Raiden IV x MIKADO remix adds nothing to the original 2007 release, but it's a perfect title to have in your library and play in your moments of relaxation. Beyond the slightly excessive price and the absence of novelties, it is an operation that, as it should be, focuses entirely on nostalgia.

Wo Long is a well-packaged, fun and satisfying soulslike in execution, however there is a general laziness, a lack of novelty together with assets and skins taken from Nioh, together with a game balance that manages to work only in the final stages.

Atelier Ryza 3 is the perfect sequel to the previous chapters. Without big news, the developers work on the best aspects and optimize them from all points of view, giving a third chapter in line with the previous ones, fresh, fun and exciting.

Ray'z Arcade Chronology is a great collection of the best vertical scrolling shooters, to replay and discover them. Only the last two chapters are in HD, but this does not prevent immediate and addictive fun.

8 / 10.0 - 30XX
Aug 8, 2023

30XX is a compelling upgrade from 20XX. No longer a clone of Mega-Man, but a game with a convincing and fun structure. Too bad for the usual problems with the online.

8 / 10.0 - Dune: Spice Wars
Sep 13, 2023

Dune: Spice Wars is an excellent Dune-licensed RTS. The approach to the game mechanics is fresh and functional, net of some various imbalances.

8 / 10.0 - Gothic
Nov 3, 2023

Gothic Classic Switch is a cleaned and revised edition of Piranha Bytes' classic masterpiece. The innovations around camera and inventory management are just a plus in front of a title that, despite being twenty years old, still works like it used to.

After the excellent porting work on Gothic, Gothic II also deserves the same treatment, with religious care. DLC is also added to the game package to make the entire experience even more engaging.

Headquarters World War 2 is a seemingly poor strategy game, which opens up to beautiful gameplay as soon as you start a new game. A title to try if you love games similar to XCOM.

7.9 / 10.0 - NBA 2K21
Sep 12, 2020

Gameplay wise, NBA 2K21 is once again an excellent product, and the best basket videogame on the market (also due to lack of competition). While very similar to its predecessor, it is also evolved and revised. However, being a 2K title, microtransactions are inescapable.

7.9 / 10.0 - One Last Breath
Mar 28, 2024

One Last Breath is a puzzle platformer with a very good narrative idea and a satisfying realization. Unfortunately the puzzles are very banal and some maps are made with very little care.

Despite some narrative clichés, the little prequel of Life is Strange 2 proves to be very effective in intensity and emotion.

NBA 2K20 remains a beautiful and satisfying title, but this time the loot box case heavily influences the final vote

7.8 / 10.0 - STATIONflow
Apr 18, 2020

STATIONflow is a fun and colorful management simulation of a subway station, with no high ambitions. The artificial intelligence is unfortunately mediocre and a profound management of economic resources is lacking.

7.8 / 10.0 - Control: AWE
Aug 28, 2020

If you're waiting for Alan Wake to take a stroll in the corridors of the Oldest House, you might be disappointed by AWE. But if on the other hand what you're looking for is to shed a light on Alan's misadventures, face familiar foes and play an instrumental role in the writer's path to freedom, and also have an excuse to dive back into Control with new tools to play with, AWE is the right DLC for you.

Pathfinder Kingmaker is an incredible game full of content, capable of entertaining for a countless number of hours, especially considering the Definitive Edition includes all expansions. The porting, unfortunately, suffers from very poor optimization, and managing combat on a pad might prove a bit of a hurdle.
