After fifteen years it’s difficult to return to the market with the same ideas seen on PS2 and Xbox 360 but THQ Nordic and the guys from Black Forest Games have done a good job especially with regard to the graphics sector and the modernization of the title to bring it to today's standards. Unfortunately, however, the changes did not affect the structure of the game which suffers from the problems already known of the original versions, that is a basic repetition and a series of missions not too articulated with a limited variety. Overall Destroy All Humans! it’s an enjoyable title especially if you are looking for a light-hearted product that allows you to have fun without thinking too much about the details and a thick story.

The new effort of SFL Interactive and Maximum Games unfortunately fails to enchant due to a not too convincing gameplay and a gaming experience that fails to entertain properly due to its repetition after a few sessions, in ways that arise from good ideas but that fail to affect. Together with all this there is also to take into consideration the crazy launch price which settles at around fifty euros which absolutely doesn’t reflect the value of this production which is certainly lower and which could easily be put on sale at a more competitive price like 20 or 30 euros.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a product that practically reflects what we saw a decade ago with the "restoration" work of the product that is difficult to glimpse both in terms of gameplay and above all in terms of the graphic aspect, which shows itself with all the defects of the time. As interesting as the idea of reviving a product like Kingdoms of Amalur may be, it is not clear, at least personally, the reason for this re-release, counting the few general improvements.

7.7 / 10.0 - NBA 2K21
Sep 15, 2020

As it was predictable, the news of NBA 2K21 in the current gen version are not so many with the team who preferred to keep much of the base of the predecessor by focusing on the refinement of some mechanics and other aspects of the game. To see a step forward we’ll have to wait until the end of the year when it’ll be possible to admire the title in its next gen version, which will be accessible free of charge only for owners of the Kobe Edition, which, in addition to a renewed graphics sector, will contain a new story.

The work done by Vicarious Visions is of the highest quality with the team that has managed to bring back two titles that have marked the history of the 90s, giving them a dimension worthy of these times. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is not only an excellent title in terms of gameplay, which will lead players to play it and replay it non-stop, but also a very good product under the graphic and technical sides, managing to make users to live an immersive experience in the atmospheres and minds of skaters. There is something for everyone from the challenges to the skate park creation system, from multiplayer to the possibility of breaking record after record with triks, in conclusion the title is a product of absolute quality.

7.5 / 10.0 - Tennis World Tour 2
Oct 4, 2020

After the bad and troubled experience with the first chapter, Tennis World Tour returns with a renewed style thanks to the work done by Big Ant Studios which, after the experiences with AO Tennis, are able to package a very good product even if not yet at the levels of the genre’s past great titles. The progresses are undoubtedly evident both from the gameplay side and from the technical point of view with the title being a good exponent of the genre, creating a solid base on which to work for the future of the brand.

After a long time, perhaps too long, the Crash Bandicoot trilogy finally has a worthy successor with the work of Toys For Bob that is practically perfect in both the gameplay and the artistic side, with Crash and his friends returning in better shape than ever in a riot of colors, special effects and Wumpa fruits. The attention to detail staged by the developers is definitely appreciable and the title fully reflects the qualities of an old-fashioned platformer, but transported to modern times with players who can have fun, and exhaust themselves, to complete 100%, sorry 106%, a decidedly difficult title but one that will awaken in most users more than a few memories of the good old days.

Monster Truck Championship is a title that aims at a certain type of passionate audience of the genre that manages to entertain for a few hours even if after some time it could be repetitive due to the few possibilities made available to the user even counting a low level of difficulty.

8 / 10.0 - Ghostrunner
Nov 11, 2020

The climb up to Dharma Tower is a raw, frustrating but also definitely satisfying experience. In Ghostrunner you’ll find yourself facing the same levels again and again in order to follow them through, in an entirely cyberpunk-themed trial and error. Overall, this is a valid product that focuses mainly on the gameplay and level design which is perfectly calibrated, and a bit less on the graphic and artistic side. Arm yourselves with lots of patience and, possibly, some extra control pads.

8.3 / 10.0 - DiRT 5
Nov 16, 2020

Dirt 5 shows up on the market with a convincing formula that aims to entertain players with the possibility of participating in many and well diversified races with tracks and circuits achieved almost to perfection. The visual impact is surely the part that astonishes most in this Codemasters’ work with tracks and effects that wrap the entire experience and make it surprising even within an only race.

Football Manager 2021 does not try to innovate the classic and well-established formula now reached with the last chapters of the series but makes some small changes that are not particularly relevant. As always, fans of the series will have a disproportionate amount of hours in their hands with the possibility of bringing their favorite team to the roof of international stages.

The project of rebirth of the Call of Duty brand continues with Activision that has found the right way to get the brand back on track and after the excellent work of Infinity Ward and Raven Software with Modern Warfare, the ball has passed into the hands of Treyarch who has been able to continue what has been seen previously by bringing back the events narrated in the original chapter of Black Ops by reviving iconic characters and the historic Cold War. The multiplayer manages to give good feedback by taking up the feeling of the Black Ops series also using the amazing feature of the adaptive triggers that are able to give unique sensations when played on PS5.

Capcom lands on next gen with the Special Edition of Devil May Cry 5 and does so with a slightly weak edition as regards the contents: the character of Vergil, also sold separately at the price of 5 euros, certainly brings new life to the gameplay but in addition to this we would have expected to be able to play specific missions for the character or at least to enjoy some more cutscenes. For the rest, the title is always an excellent Japanese hack'n'slash that continues to be one of the best in recent years with amazing gameplay and excellent next-gen quality. If you haven't played Devil May Cry 5 yet, this edition has to be yours.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is a title fit to amaze, even though its production doesn’t aim to innovate the genre by using other open world titles as an inspiration. At the end of the day it is a fresh surprise though, which puts together a fitfull of events and things to do by leaning on a fluid and fun gameplay and by uniting classic types of combat to different puzzle-centred moments. Overall, the game experience is very convincing and allows the player to spend more than a few hours in mesmerizing lands characterized by vivid colours and reminders of greek myths.

8.4 / 10.0 - The Nioh Collection
Feb 12, 2021

The Nioh Collection is certainly a work of good workmanship with the Team Ninja who wanted to dust off above all the old chapter of the series and bring it, hand in hand with the most recent Nioh 2, on PlayStation 5 with mainly technical improvements thanks to the granites 60 fps and to the novelty of 120 fps in full versions with all DLCs (which can also be purchased separately from the collection with the names of Nioh Remastered - The Complete Edition and Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition). In addition, both productions enjoy almost lightning-fast loading screens and support the possibility of cross-save with PS4, with the possibility of importing your own saves from PS4 directly to PS5 using the cloud (PlayStation Plus is required).

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a very interesting product that combines two very different souls from each other, the first one with a more classic structure of the old Mario’s games that is still winning and enjoyable in all its well-characterized levels, the second one with a more innovative and modern soul that takes its cue from the recent Odysseytrying to experiment by embracing the open world component but maintaining the engine and content base of the accompanying game and keeping faith with the collectathon creed. All this can be also played both alone and with friends locally or online, taking the cooperative platform to new heights of fun.

8.5 / 10.0 - Persona 5 Strikers
Mar 9, 2021

Persona 5 Strikers brings the Phantom Thieves back to the fore after the adventures of Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal by binding to these titles in some respects by replicating the narrative and RPG components but breaking away decisively by introducing the musou component, with the Omega Force team that managed to create a game that was definitely up to the task. Obviously the title is highly recommended to all those who have appreciated and devoured the aforementioned titles with the possibility of varying even in terms of gameplay but with the same narrative depth.

Harvest Moon: One World tries to keep the classic basics of the series by adding some important innovations such as the ability to move your farm, giving much more importance to exploration, and streamlining some farming mechanics, making the game faster in some situations. What doesn’t fully convince is the graphic and technical side of the title which at times is bare and uninvolving in its settings, with the team that could have implemented a few more details in the different areas to explore.

7.9 / 10.0 - Two Point Hospital
Mar 13, 2021

The definitive version of Two Point Hospital, entitled Jumbo Edition, arrives on console and does it in the best way with many hours of play thanks to both the main campaign and the four additional packages included, namely Bigfoot, Pebberley Island, Close Encounters and Long Live the environment that bring several more hours between new hospitals, diseases and unprecedented machinery and settings that range from winter locations to tropical places. The title is certainly one of the best management games in circulation which remains recommended for all lovers of the genre but also for those who want to approach these types of productions.

The Blizzard Arcade Collection is a very valid work from different points of view especially for the work done by the developers who haven’t limited themselves to simply re-proposing the basic versions of the games but who have added several possibilities with the final versions but also with a lot of accompanying contents to show users the history and life of the company from the 90s to today. In short, this collection is a very good work if you want to recover the history of videogames and go deeper into titles that characterize it.
