Enotria: The Last Song is a solid souls-like that blends the traditional mechanics of the genre with intriguing ideas, enriched by the unique charm of Italian folklore and an original story set in a breathtaking kingdom. On the backside, its narrative can feel scattered and the combat quickly becomes repetitive and unrefined, coupled with a rough technical production. Despite its flaws, though, it remains a title that fans of the genre and lovers of Italian traditions might still appreciate.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is undoubtedly the best installment in the series in many years. A two-faceted FPS, it is capable of both capturing the attention of those seeking a quality single-player experience thanks to an engaging and spectacular campaign, and of putting in the hands of fans a multiplayer experience a range of modes and challenge types capable of satisfying the community's enormous appetite both in the immediate and long term.

Alan Wake 2's second DLC succeeds in replicating the main game's pacing and style in a new setting by offering some interesting creative cues. Still, on the other hand, it fails to add anything of substance to the original experience and to provide longevity that lives up to expectations. A content that's more interesting for Control lovers than AW2 fans, but still worth playing since it's a key piece of Remedy Entertainment's narrative universe.

8.5 / 10.0 - EA Sports FC 25
Oct 10, 2024

The new features introduced in this edition of EA Sports FC 25, first and foremost the Rush mode and FC IQ technology, breathe life into the title and forcefully push it in a new direction. Issues are not missing, especially in the AI and online challenges, but even so, the game is a must-have title for fans of the saga.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a solid, well-packaged remake that delivers an exciting, entertaining (not just for fans of the Disney universe) and content-rich adventure. More attention to the technical aspect, the introduction of more modern mechanics and the presence of extended voice acting would have allowed it to reach higher heights, but as it is, it remains a highly recommended adventure.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a top-quality adventure, capable of providing many hours of fun for a wide audience. A game that makes the essentiality of the control system, the beauty of the puzzles and the increasingly articulated exploration its strong points, all enhanced by an extraordinary graphic realization and a simple storyline but, at the same time, capable of touching on important themes.

A game that all lovers of the genre and good stories should add to their collection.

9.2 / 10.0 - Alan Wake 2
Nov 5, 2023

Alan Wake 2 is Remedy Entertainment's true masterpiece. A survival horror that manages to sensationally blend the pivotal elements of the genre, with gameplay balanced between two protagonists and with non-linear storytelling that on more than one occasion breaks through the barriers of the video game medium to create something broader, and that succeeds in capturing the player also thanks to a technical and artistic realisation of the highest level. A video game that everyone, fans of the genre or not, should consider playing.

8.5 / 10.0 - EA Sports FC 24
Oct 30, 2023

Despite the drastic name change, EA Sports FC 24 doesn't represent a revolution but rather a new step forward in EA Sports' football series, with many new features and some unexpected optimisation issues. But despite the lack of courage in offering a truly innovative experience, it still remains the best choice for all soccer game fans.

8.5 / 10.0 - Lies of P
Oct 8, 2023

Lies of P is an excellent souls-like game, not particularly original and that could be improved in some aspects, but nonetheless capable of keeping the player glued to the screen thanks to a top-quality combat system, a well-structured progress system, and an engaging story full of references to Collodi's novel that serves as a fascinating steampunk world backdrop. A game that all lovers of the genre should try, maybe taking advantage of its presence in the Xbox Game Pass.

7.5 / 10.0 - Immortals of Aveum
Sep 18, 2023

The gameplay crafted by Ascendant Studios, albeit without any particular creative flourishes, is fun and involving for the entire duration of the adventure, supported by a script that, despite some unoriginal writing and sometimes too childish dialogues, contributes to keeping the title enjoyable from start to finish. An FPS that, also due to optimisation problems, fails to express its potential, but is nevertheless able to provide a few hours of fun to all lovers of the genre.

9 / 10.0 - Diablo IV
Jul 8, 2023

Diablo IV is the perfect evolution of the series. The many new features make for a truly modern title, giving us an experience capable of keeping us glued to the controller for many hours, without neglecting the historical and most beloved features of the series. If we add to this a technical aspect of the highest quality, a very accessible multiplayer structure, and a huge end-game, we obtain a majestic title that stands as the best exponent of the action-RPG genre and is capable of bringing us plenty of emotions.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a solid, vast and ambitious sequel capable of satisfying both action-RPG lovers and Star Wars fans. The many new features introduced on the exploration and combat fronts allow for the gameplay to take a considerable leap forward, without abandoning the much-appreciated metroidvania and souls-like dynamics. The game lends itself to criticism in the plot and in fight balancing, especially with bosses, but despite this, it stays fun and engaging until the end.

Minecraft Legends is an accessible and easy to master RTS, capable of delivering many hours of enjoyment to every kind of player. Something more could have been done for content variety and to strengthen the plot, but it remains a game that both veterans and newbies to the RTS genre should try.

Ghostwire Tokyo is a high quality adventure, capable of mixing traditional open world mechanics with all the charme of Japanese folklore to give life to a unique experience, capable of keeping the player glued until the end.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty stakes everything on its combat system, a fascinating setting, and excellent game structure. However, the game remains hampered by an underwhelming technical realization and balancing problems. Still, these minor flaws do not prevent it from offering a viable option for all gamers looking for a spectacular action game.

8.3 / 10.0 - Wild Hearts
Feb 16, 2023

Wild Hearts is a hunter-like game that is both respectful of tradition and at the same time very brave, thanks to innovations such as the Karakuri structure system and greater attention to the narrative. In addition, the game benefits from the care taken in designing the Kemono monsters and crafting an experience that will satisfy both genre veterans and newcomers. Despite a few youth issues, it is undoubtedly one of the best alternatives around for fans of the genre.

6.8 / 10.0 - Wanted: Dead
Feb 14, 2023

Wanted: Dead is only half a successful experiment. The idea of mixing the shooter genre with the hack'n'slash action game one is good, but it is dwarfed by the shallowness of some of the mechanics, a substandard technical realisation and problematic balancing.

We Were Here Forever is the most ambitious and most successful title in the co-op puzzle series, capable of delivering a one-of-a-kind cooperative experience thanks to a long series of puzzles perfectly integrated within the story. Too bad about the absence of the Buddy Pass, which would have allowed two friends to play together without having to buy the game twice.
