9 / 10.0 - Judgment
Jun 24, 2019

Judgment is a fun game, with many diversified aspects to discover, with a story that once again hits the mark and a huge amount of activities with which to delight. A little déjà-vu could be felt, but it is blown away after a few hours. The question we asked in the introduction finds an answer: yes, Judgment manages to make itself loved as a title with its own soul and nature and does not remain in the shadow of Yakuza.

9 / 10.0 - Devil May Cry 5
Mar 16, 2019

DMC is extraordinary from every point of view, finding defects is an arduous thing. The offer of Devil May Cry has never been so full of aesthetic and playful content as in this fifth chapter. The excitement is then amplified by the soundtrack which is one of DMC's trademarks.

9 / 10.0 - Resident Evil 2
Feb 9, 2019

Resident Evil 2 will be the point of reference for the remakes in the years to come. Not only that, it will be one of the models to follow for the horror of the future, because this is not a simple makeover, it is a completely new game that improves the experience of the original work throughout. Finding weak points is really difficult: a story told to the great thanks to both aesthetic and content improvements, breathtaking graphics and gameplay that is the sum of classic horror combined with modernity that was asked for a remake.

8 / 10.0 - 7th Sector
Feb 1, 2020

7th Sector is an indie that follows in the footsteps of highly appreciated titles like Limbo and Inside, but it does so with its own distinctive identity. The dystopian cyberpunk setting is excellent, the game structure, based on solving puzzles, is pleasant and always tantalizing because it knows how to change at the right time so as not to become stale. Puzzles manage to reach rewarding difficulty levels. The only drawback we find is the controls that have made us crazy more than once.

Aug 28, 2019

Man of Medan is a worthy first episode of the anthology The Dark Pictures. The title of Supermassive Games offers a horror experience contained in the single run, but highly replayable and enjoyable especially in co-op or during an evening with friends, thanks to a fun and original local multiplayer. The story from which Man of Medan draws is mysterious at the right point and offers a horror story atmosphere to read during a summer evening. A few smudges in dubbing and facial expressiveness do not undermine a very well-made technical sector that makes Man of Medan a valid product for fans of horror stories.

8 / 10.0 - Layers of Fear 2
May 24, 2019

Layers of Fear 2 is a sequel that manages to improve in many aspects its predecessor. Disorienting exploration, puzzles and escape phases blend perfectly, offering a first-rate playful offer to all players who love horror narrative experiences without hesitation. The sad story in some aspects and terrifying for others embellishes an indie product that has little to envy to "major" productions.

Feb 3, 2020

Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a video game that gives its best in the company of other players with our own desire to eliminate hundreds of zombies. The missions that make up the campaign, in the long run, can be repetitive, but playing co-op in a team of four people things change radically. The inspired Italian setting and an always solid frame rate offer a rewarding experience. The best chapter in the series without a shadow of a doubt.

7.7 / 10.0 - Ghost of Tsushima
Jul 14, 2020

Ghost of Tsushima has exceptional aesthetic care, has a solid and convincing combat system, stealth phases in the norm, but lacks in too many things to be able to become a new reference point for Sony's exclusive production

7.5 / 10.0 - Draugen
Feb 19, 2020

Draugen is an investigative walking simulator based on the story and the player's immersion in the game world. Its short duration, the lack of real puzzles and a path already traced that only needs to be followed could discourage those looking for a mystery that gives a hard time to their sixth sense. Despite this, Draugen remains an experience to be nurtured for its intriguing story, well written dialogues and exceptional aesthetics.

7.5 / 10.0 - Coffee Talk
Jan 24, 2020

Coffee Talk is a visual novel that deals with important topics lightly and manages to make the player feel confessor, friend, confidant of the customers of the bar, despite the fact that they are often absurd characters. The playful part is simple in its structure, it is intuitive, but it is fun and consistent with the calm and calm atmosphere of the conversations. The beautiful designs and the never out of place sound are other factors that make Coffee Talk an experience to read and feel your own.

7.5 / 10.0 - Concrete Genie
Oct 10, 2019

Concrete Genie is an enjoyable title, very pleasant and with excellent ideas behind it. There are many possibilities for customizing the Genes and the most imaginative players will be able to create works of good thickness. If the plot had delved deeper into the main theme, if the gameplay had not been split in two so abruptly and if the longevity had been a little higher, Concrete Genie would have reached higher peaks, but the general experience remains satisfactory.

Feb 24, 2020

Infliction is a horror experience that cannot escape from the clichés of the genre, however it has a highly respectable atmosphere and environmental interaction that we have encountered in very few other titles of the same type. The puzzles to solve with the camera make the experience more varied, unfortunately in three scarce hours of play we will use it very few times. Caustic Reality could have dared more and filed the imperfections of a game that remains recommended for ghost story lovers.

7.2 / 10.0 - Deliver Us The Moon
Apr 24, 2020

Deliver Us the Moon is a fascinating indie with a good story told in an intriguing way and a gameplay that tries to offer more solutions to the player by not succeeding fully, due to a leitmotiv that repeats itself too often and puts in the background mechanical that they could have be better exploited, such as exploration on board vehicles. There are good level design ideas too, however, only half exploited and an attractive aesthetic apparatus.

7 / 10.0 - Control
Aug 26, 2019

Control is a good title, fun if you want to experiment with the various combinations with Jesse's powers, but with a heavy supernatural thriller story crushed by long repetitive gameplay that never really shows muscles. The technical sector is quite good and Jesse floats in the air really marvelously, the repetitive settings, however, do not make you cry to the miracle, all things that make the new Remedy title more a missed opportunity rather than a title worthy of their name . If you don't pretend too much and are looking for a good action title, you will find what you need in Control and Jesse's skills.

6.5 / 10.0 - 198X
Jul 11, 2019

198X is a heartfelt tribute to arcade games, a door with a neon sign that leads into a bright and pleasantly noisy game room. It is not only this, because the indie title also tells a story, a drama that, in some ways, has a lot in common with many gamers, not only those who have lived through the era of arcades, but also the younger ones.

Nov 16, 2019

Terminator: Resistance fails to save the tie-in production related to the James Cameron saga. Of all the titles released over the years, this is probably one of the best, but it didn't take much. Teyon's video game does not present peaks neither from a narrative point of view nor from a playful one. If we talk about aesthetics then, we hardly reach sufficiency. We are not facing a total disaster, because there is some good mechanics, but it is really too little.
