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.

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.

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.

Shattered Heaven captivates the players thanks to its hybrid gameplay. It's a card game with roguelike and rpg elements that are enough to feel interesting, but it gets repetitive way too soon during longest playing sessions.

Farming Simulator 23 has many options for arable and farming to discover everywhere. It is a good simulation game, but it comes with a lot of technical compromises and it's way more similar to its Nintendo Switch predecessor than we hoped.

Anno 1800 is also confirmed on consoles as a pleasant experience, able to bring to the genre of management all those who tend to be reluctant in front of this type of offer or simply not equipped with computers – for a niche surprisingly increasingly widespread even among those armed with controllers. In fact, we have a careful adaptation of commands and interfaces, without this leading to losing the strong identity that distinguishes the work of Blue Byte. This, of course, with some necessary compromise, which does not affect the enjoyment of the experience even on consoles.
