Cuphead - The Delicious Last Course is the best possible expansion for Studio MDHR's creature. The new stages are incredibly curated and introduce gameplay mechanics and completely new situations, which blend perfectly with the offer of the base game.

9.5 / 10.0 - Neon White
Jun 16, 2022

Neon White is therefore an absolutely unmissable video game, capable as few of paralleling a very precise, frenetic and totally skill-based gameplay and a narrative that embraces stereotypes to use them as a picket with which to dig into the human soul.

9 / 10.0 - Eastward
Sep 14, 2021

Eastward is not only the dazzling debut title of a very small development studio in Shanghai, just as it is not just a video game that closely resembles the best Zelda 2D in history. Don't call it Zelda-like: not because it's not a formally correct definition but because Pixpil's creature wants to be something more than the classic declaration of love to a title of the past. Eastward is one of the brightest examples of what are the true qualities of independent development: a real pearl that deserves to be discovered, perfectly able to carve out its space in the niche of instant cult videogames.

9 / 10.0 - Unpacking
Nov 5, 2021

Unpacking is a jewel, one of those video games able to leave its mark thanks to their extreme simplicity, and the ability they have to communicate themselves and their stories through gameplay, without disturbing words.

9 / 10.0 - Inscryption
Nov 16, 2021

Inscryption is a damn fun card game: a roguelite, a puzzle game and a horror story, and all this is barely enough to describe what on balance are only the first hours of the experience.

9 / 10.0 - Citizen Sleeper
May 18, 2022

Citizen Sleeper is a breath of fresh air for a genre like science fiction, increasingly inclined to self-cite and enhance its aesthetics, leaving the content partially in the shadows. Its settings, although not directly observable, are alive, pulsating, and inside it is possible to intertwine with the stories of the inhabitants of Erlin's Eye.

Apr 29, 2022

The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe is a conversion, remake, update, sequel and negation of the original work. All together. A title that nine years ago changed the videogame landscape and that today returns not to complete its mission, but more to reflect on itself, on what it has represented and on what it has left to the industry. Some passages of the "New Content" are hallucinatory and brilliant, and blend with the original content in a masterful way. In short, The Stanley Parable is one of those experiences that anyone should play at least once in their life.

Ten stories, ten little bullets fired straight through your heart, each one in a new different way. A new way to develop, feel and live the video game

Jul 12, 2021

It is true that there are works capable of going far beyond what the Silver Case and The 25th Ward did, but it is also true that it is extremely difficult to find two works held together by such a valid internal coherence and, above all, such a high level of character writing.

8.5 / 10.0 - Lost Judgment
Sep 16, 2021

Ultimately, Lost Judgment is a great sequel, characterized by inspired writing and a great deal of irreverence. A second chapter more courageous, more refined and extremely more elegant, which offers the possibility of being played by all those who have never had direct contact with the first episode or with the Yakuza saga.

8.5 / 10.0 - Cuccchi
Aug 15, 2021

Cuccchi is available on Nintendo Switch and Playstation, as well as on the website of the Enzo Cucchi Archive and the main mobile stores. According to the words of those who Cuccchi thought, conceived and created it, it will be constantly updated with other works of the master and, therefore, new worlds to explore. After all, it is an archive in videogame form that will be composed over time to make the production of Enzo Cucchi immortal, becoming at the same time a work of art in its own right.

8.5 / 10.0 - OlliOlli World
Feb 3, 2022

Olliolli World is a promise kept. A game dedicated to skateboarding that embraces every aspect of street culture in a perfect mixture of Platform, Rythm Game and Heart-pounding Arcade.

8.5 / 10.0 - Live A Live
Jul 21, 2022

Seeing the rebirth of a video game as important and influential as it is unknown to most (at least here in the West) is a feeling difficult to describe. Live A Live is a remake made almost impeccably and, above all, with great taste, between the magical touch of HD-2D and the original soundtrack by Yoko Shimomura appropriately rearranged for the occasion.

8.5 / 10.0 - Redout 2
Jun 22, 2022

Redout 2 is a profound revision of the concept of the first chapter, finally blessed by a budget that allows the crazy artistic direction to free themselves from the limits of the past to go and create an experience at times unparalleled.

8.5 / 10.0 - Card Shark
Jun 2, 2022

Card Shark is certainly one of the most unique and interesting titles of the year, the son of a completely crazy concept that works divinely from the first to the last second of gameplay.

Curse of the Moon 2 is the perfect Classicvania, a Dracula's Curse with a crazy pixel art and a bossy boss design. In short, way better than Ritual of the Night.

8 / 10.0 - Exo One
Nov 24, 2021

Exo One is an anomalous video game. A project that came to light after five years of work that mixes within it an excellent management of physics and a satisfactory movement system, and it does so with an intensity that is sometimes unexpected. Exo One is an acid trip in the icy sidereal void, an exploration of the (un)known universe that pushes you to look inside and confront the immensity of the cosmos, while sliding on the surface of strange and distant alien planets. A very powerful experience, completed in less than three hours but capable of etching itself in focus in the eyes and mind.

Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is certainly not a revolutionary or innovative video game, but it manages to achieve the goals it had set itself. It is a well-framed and decidedly successful title, which does not hide its obvious inspirations.

8 / 10.0 - No Longer Home
Dec 30, 2021

Net of a poor technical sector, especially on Switch, No Longer Home is one of the most touching experiences of the year. Independent to the core, Humble Grove's game tells the dramas of everyday life in what is a semi-autobiography of its two authors, stuck in one of the most confused and difficult moments of their post-adolescence. It is a very short work, which can be completed in a single session of just over two hours, but capable of touching deeply.
