6.5 / 10.0 - Until Dawn (2024)
Oct 18, 2024

Until Dawn Remake is a rather lazy remake of the now iconic PS4-era video game cult: the narrative additions appear superfluous and even anticlimactic, while the graphic modernization operation leaves itself open to too many qualitative oscillations, between excessively loaded facial expressions and still stiff animations. Playing Until Dawn today, for fans of the "teen horror" genre, still represents an interesting rediscovery, for a title that still manages to entertain thanks to the unpredictability of its narrative twists.

7 / 10.0 - Sand Land
Apr 24, 2024

Sand Land is therefore a tie-in that is not fully successful on the playful and content front, but it is a videogame adaptation that expresses a lot of affection towards the work from which it is taken.

5.5 / 10.0 - Hellboy Web of Wyrd
Oct 22, 2023

Hellboy: Web of Wyrd is an insufficient game in almost every aspect. Unfortunately, the love that the development team must have for the franchise is not matched by an action roguelike, slow, cumbersome and terribly poor in variety.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a sequel worthy of the name. Respawn has expanded and improved everything that convinced us of its predecessor, starting with a well-written story and not without remarkable twists near the end credits.

8.3 / 10.0 - Hogwarts Legacy
Feb 9, 2023

Hogwarts Legacy can be a manifesto of the heart that wins over reason. The one basted by Avalanche Software is in fact an open world RPG not very stimulating in the dynamics of exploration and with a role-playing formula not entirely impactful, which could tire the most demanding players. However, we believe that the flaws are well balanced by a good combat system, a great attention to detail and an impeccable artistic direction, which represents a true love letter to the Wizarding World and its fans.

Bardock: Alone against fate is a DLC with a small duration, from which CyberConnect2 has tried to draw all possible potential. Although they are few, given the very linear structure of the main story, the secondary missions allow you to better deepen the character of the protagonist and his supporting actors, confirming the excellent philological work done by the development team on the mythology of Dragon Ball Z.

7.8 / 10.0 - Lost in Play
Aug 10, 2022

Lost in Play is a point-and-click adventure made of irreverent no-sense comedy, intuitive puzzles and puzzles not particularly stimulating, but layered enough to make you spend a handful of hours of fun.

8.3 / 10.0 - Stray
Jul 18, 2022

Stray is a changing adventure in its playful and fascinating proposal thanks to its powerful artistic direction. At the passing of the credits, summing up, one perceives perhaps the main limits of the work: a story steeped in mystery, coherent and exciting with its own scenario, but perhaps not entirely capable of leaving its mark as it should in the finale.

7.8 / 10.0 - The Quarry
Jun 8, 2022

The Quarry is the spiritual heir of Until Dawn: from the exclusive PlayStation of 2015 Supermassive Games takes up various themes, above all the ingenuity and cloying of the adolescent world, exploiting them as a starting point to tell a visceral horror, buried under an ancient mythology and to be discovered.
