Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is a chapter that, without upsetting the skeleton that made it great among battle royale, tries to consolidate its position in the hearts of fans. Many small interesting introductions and some that raise concerns, but in the end we are talking about a project able to bring back into the game all the users who were starting to get tired of the progenitor. Goal at the moment achieved and with a comforting result in terms of accesses, but in the long run the feeling is that we will have to dare much more to stay in vogue.

6.3 / 10.0 - Soccer Story
Dec 20, 2022

Despite some good ideas, Soccer Story fails to deliver in some of its design choices, feeling like a first but deeply improvable step.

6.8 / 10.0 - Warlander
Jan 24, 2023

Warlander feels like a melting pot of different mechanics, but with its own personality. Unfortunately, not everything fell into the right place during the development, but it's an interesting attempt nonetheless..

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on consoles proves to be as complete and satisfying an experience as the one made on PC. Opting for a revolutionary control mapping adapted to the needs of the controller was the fundamental decision to make the title fully accessible and enjoyable in all its facets.

7.6 / 10.0 - Gomorrah
Mar 11, 2023

Gomorrah is an interesting adaptation: the storytelling works and gives some replay value to the adventure, but the managerial part of the gameplay feels lacklustre.

Unscored - Anno 1800
Mar 15, 2023

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.

Stranded: Alien Dawn is a good survival and strategy game. The project allows to manage a settlers team in an unexplored planet with a lot of gameplay possibility and it's pretty enjoyable even playing with a controller.

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.

7.4 / 10.0 - Shattered Heaven
May 31, 2023

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.

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.

Jul 10, 2023

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.

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.

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.
