SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is a video game that will thrill everyone who grew up playing the original title seventeen years ago. The rehydrated version of Nickleodeon's sponge is fun, respectful of the parent and also able to do some light extra steps, with a graphics department of great quality. The title is long-lived and fun and suffers from the same flaws that the original game could suffer from: a lack of care for the gameplay that in the long run makes it less replayable than video games with a deeper and more layered control system. In any case we would recommend without hesitation SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, thanks also to the budget price at which it is proposed.

Do Not Feed The Monkeys, even on Nintendo Switch, is certainly something to try and enjoy. The title is an atypical adventure game, able to graft into the innermost part of the human brain and play with our unconscious much better than the competition. The title is replayable, with some problems due to the control system and with some situations (such as the endgame) that could be better managed by distorting a little 'essence. Our advice is to take and play it because it is difficult to regret the adventure you are preparing to live. Remember to cover with scotch the cameras you have at home, rather.

8 / 10.0 - Outbuddies DX
Jun 18, 2020

Outbuddies DX è uno di quei giochi, uno di quelli su cui non scommetti niente e che poi finiscono per sorprenderti a più riprese grazie ad una combinazione di elementi inaspettati. Tanto figlio di Metroid quanto di Cave Story, il titolo in questione salta a pié pari qualsiasi velleità ruolistica per mettere in piedi un avventura tutta esplorazione, memoria muscolare, paura e orrori cosmici, complici anche le notevoli influenze lovecraftiane che si nascondono nelle viscere del cosmo.

8.5 / 10.0 - Valorant
Jun 2, 2020

Valorant is the perfect Riot product, destined for success despite the fleets of malicious tongues ready to perjure themselves. The software house that came up with League Of Legends knows how to make an interesting world, knows how to chisel gameplay around key concepts and knows how to wink at a certain audience; Valorant is the perfect demonstration of such features. Despite the young age still shows the side to some problems, both from the technical point of view and from the purely playful point of view, between severe anti cheats and bugs of various kinds, the premises for a product able to conquer there are all of them and if Riot will be able to maintain them will have the umpteenth golden goose in his hands.

6 / 10.0 - Maneater
Jun 1, 2020

Maneater is a slightly greedy shark who hasn't quite figured out how to swim yet. The title of Tripwire makes decent use of its concept to offer a game world full of humor and hilarity while failing in other points of view. Commanding a shark is fun in small sips and in order to complete the title will be necessary to make peace over and over again with the system of movement and fighting, all this, inserted within a playful paradigm twenty years old, closes the circle with a "if you really like sharks this is the game for you ...".

Streets Of Rage 4 is a pleasant plunge into the past, a video game with roots rooted in tradition that manages to rejuvenate thanks to a fun combat system like those present in modernity. The title is also the umpteenth demonstration of the quality that Lizardcube puts in its products from a technical point of view, with wonderful sprites, background of absolute value and a generic feeling as respectful of the original as ready to make new proselytes. All this is best enjoyed by the player if you have the opportunity to play it in company, mode where the title shines brightly. One of the funniest experiences in recent gaming history for anyone with a sofa, beers and someone to play with.

7.5 / 10.0 - HyperParasite
Apr 4, 2020

Hyperparasite is a roguelike with the cast of a huge fighter. The title, strong of interesting gameplay ideas and a very clever basic mechanics is fun and exciting in cooperative. Remains to be filed some internal balances of the game systems and the difficulty remains high, certainly able to scare more than one player. Very interesting the presence of a cooperative mode, an option that enhances the longevity already good in itself. An interesting product, intended for a niche, which we hope will find the success it deserves.

In defitiva The Foundation is an honest DLC for a title that continues to defend itself and make players fall in love. The product attempts to expand the proposal of the original title through new gameplay solutions and new visual solutions, not always succeeding at full potential but still giving a respectable amount of hours of fun. The Foundation is a product that winks at all those who have been caged in the dazzling mythology of the mother title, offering this kind of players, answers and questions able to send forward lucubrations for several weeks, waiting for the arrival of the closing of the circle marked Remedy.

Through The Darkest Of Times is a powerful title, able to do justice to the subject matter thanks to intelligent game mechanics and a first-rate technical/artistic sector, between vintage graphic styles and disturbing music. The world of Nazi Germany, despite some bizza narrative and a replayability not at the top for the genre, is well deepened and able to interest for more than ten hours. If you feel like going for a ride in the worst of historical times, you've just found an intelligent way to do it.

9 / 10.0 - Valfaris
Dec 15, 2019

Valfaris is beautiful to see and fun to play. A title that sprays metal from every pore and that will immediately enter the hearts of fans thanks to an artistic section from hands in hair, with detailed, charismatic and original settings. Musically speaking, the soundtrack, created by Curt Victor Braynt, alone could be worth the price of the ticket. If to all this we add a gameplay fun like few other things, with the right depth and the right adaptability we are faced with a very clear situation: Valfaris is one of those video games to play during 2019, whatever it costs.

Fortnite is the lucky encounter between a more than pleasant game and a marketing experiment of capital importance for the world of video games. In its two Epic Games, Fortnite has put a lot of resources into creating an empire and putting together the right video game at the right time, able to win the hearts of millions of players thanks to an accessible but deep gameplay. Fortnite skillfully exploits all the battle royale's chrisms to offer players an experience that is at the very least fun at every access, constantly renewing itself and constantly looking for new things. This, of course, brings with it balance problems that are added to bugs of various kinds, able to make the nose twitch to players already little interested in gunplay or structure but little matter, since they can always fall back on Fortnite Save The World. The presence on virtually every device is just the icing on the cake for a title that, against all odds, deserves more than a few glances and some insults.

8 / 10.0 - Code Vein
Oct 3, 2019

Code Vein is one of this year's little surprises, an RPG action video game that manages to make soulslike mechanics appealing to virtually all types of gamers thanks to very interesting insights from a playful point of view. The title is destined to make a breakthrough in the hearts of many players thanks to the narrative sector much more standard than that of his putative father, son of years and years of Japanese animation and strong of a plot that with the continuation manages to intrigue a bit 'every type of player category. The intelligent and interesting gameplay, despite some slippage from the point of view of animation and character design, manages to deliver this title to the list of things to rediscover over the next few years; a successful attempt by Bandai Namco to create a new IP.
