6.3 / 10.0 - UFL
Dec 19, 2024

UFL is a title still far from reaching its true potential-a work in progress that requires time to meet the high expectations of virtual football enthusiasts (or even just to deliver on the promises made at its announcement). Its more dynamic style, which places less emphasis on realism, does work, but there are still many limitations, both in terms of content and the overall quality of the gameplay experience. In short, the path ahead is steep, and it's far from being an easy goal into an empty net.

7.9 / 10.0 - EA Sports FC 25
Sep 27, 2024

EA Sports FC 25 continues along the same path as its predecessor, but with a slightly faster and more decisive pace. The new focus on tactics could be the first step toward a more ambitious vision for the future of the series. Overall, this installment proves to be content-rich, relying on the usual winning features while introducing a new 5v5 mode that adds just the right touch to enhance the overall package.

We certainly didn't expect that Squirrel with a Gun could be a qualitatively thick work, but after playing it we found some of his ideas so brilliant and fun that we left a little regret for the overall final result.

This final review of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn has been a roller coaster of conflicting feelings. The end result is of decent quality, despite various structural limitations, and it manages to shape a balanced experience with a substantial amount of content. While it certainly doesn't stand out in terms of character or personality, and numerous narrative questions remain unanswered, the accessible and somewhat enjoyable gameplay compensates for these shortcomings just enough. However, it does leave a bit of a bitter aftertaste.

Jul 13, 2024

As bizarre as it sounds, Anger Foot is quite enjoyable and, despite some technical flaws, it provides players with a wild and entertaining experience.

8.3 / 10.0 - Warno
May 19, 2024

WARNO doesn't go easy on the player (especially if you are not a veteran of RTS games), but its depth and all the choices it has to offer can be extremely satisfying.

Graven is an intriguing mix of genres, but it doesn't manage to express its full potential.

7.9 / 10.0 - Ready or Not
Dec 12, 2023

An intriguing tactical shooter that embraces the precious SWAT legacy, offering a layered and challenging gameplay. It still lacks some polishing and we can't say that every idea got to achieve its full potential, but this is definitely an interesting and compelling gameplay experience for players that love to think before shooting.

7.2 / 10.0 - Wizard With A Gun
Nov 4, 2023

Wizard with a Gun is colorful roguelite that mixes in an interesting way different gameplay styles. The result is satisfying, but not as much as it could have been, because the loop feels like it already shown what it had to give way too early.

Unscored - Humankind
Oct 22, 2023

Of course Humankind feels home on PC, but the porting is decently crafted and, despite some flaws in the controls and in the UI, manages to offer to console players all the good (and the bad) it had when played using a mouse and a keyboard on your computer.

7.8 / 10.0 - EA Sports FC 24
Sep 28, 2023

Despite the name change, EA Sports FC 24 comes with basically the same flaws of the last FIFA, but we really appreciated the slower pace for the gameplay and the increased variety now possible in Ultimate Team.

7.8 / 10.0 - Gunbrella
Sep 14, 2023

Gunbrella is a captivating mix between action, platform and noir storytelling. The game is enjoyable and well crafted, but its level design and the platform phases could have shine way more.

Nobunaga's Ambition Awakening is a interesting way to live the Feudal Japan era, but the various and rich gameplay leaves room for a lot of confusion during the battles.

7.2 / 10.0 - The Valiant
Jul 10, 2023

The Valiant is a good traditional RTS with unexpected commitment in a narrative campaign across medieval Europe. Unfortunately, there is a number of compromises about gameplay that make the fights tiring to manage, especially with the controller.

7.5 / 10.0 - Company of Heroes 3
Jun 19, 2023

Company of Heroes 3 Console Edition is a good way to enjoy a RTS experience with the controller. The latest Relic Entertainment video game shows several compromises, but the missions give a lot of fun.
