Ruined King makes the characterization of the characters and the game world its workhorse to tell an authentic "League of Legends Story": the good narrative and aesthetic component joins the wonderful soundtrack and together they do great for this lore fragment of Runeterra; at the same time, the turn-based combat system manages to be elaborate and challenging, thanks to the curious lanes-based structure.

Call of Duty Vanguard falls fully within the canons of expectation and offer of the series under almost every single point of view, resulting literally as a "another Call of Duty", which will entertain all those who have always found enjoyable and fun experience offered by the various chapters of the saga, but does not try for a moment to strive to offer something more.

8.2 / 10.0 - In Sound Mind
Nov 20, 2021

In Sound Mind is one of those surprises that come out of nowhere. The set of refined playful and narrative components manages to offer a complete, varied, immersive and challenging experience thanks to a series of simple ideas and intuitive concepts that work pretty well together.

8.6 / 10.0 - Deathloop
Oct 6, 2021

Deathloop is one of the most original and different productions we have seen and played recently. It is an unique experience that mixes different stages, character, gameplay and music in an amazing way.

Return of the Obra Dinn is truly a little gem, with many unique mechanics that will make every player very happy. Everyone should give this title a try, even if some player might find it a little too complicated.

While having nice moments, with some adjustments made to the combat design, DOOM Eternal The Ancient Gods - Part 2 left us with a sense of indifference. The absence of a good narrative, coupled with an unusual final boss fight and flawed exploration and platform sequence, The Ancient Gods - Part 2 marks the lowest point of the franchise since the 2016 reboot.

7.4 / 10.0 - Twin Mirror
Dec 28, 2020

Twin Mirror is like an airliner that wants to take off but it loses control. The story is simple, there are a lot of cliché and it has non-original gameplay. Nevertheless, characters, atmosphere and graphic make Twin Mirror one of the best Dontnod works.

Beyond Light chooses the evolution of Destiny 2 existing components instead of completely revolutionizing them. The result is a great expansion, which succeeds the previous one.

7.6 / 10.0 - Tell Me Why
Sep 25, 2020

Tell Me Why is an excellent narrative adventure that talks about childhood dramas and character diversity, but we would have preferred to play more and watch less.

7.5 / 10.0 - Mortal Shell
Aug 31, 2020

Mortal Shell is a brave soulslike that mix original ideas and fun. If you like the genre this is the game for you. It’s darker than the original soulslike and provides you a satisfying combat system. We would have preferred better level design, because actually is one of the most disappointing things we have seen in this game.

The game is like a powerful and elaborate version of its predecessor. The team worked well, adding a lot of ways to play Superhot that makes the game more enjoyable. They also added a roguelike formula which fits with the iconic slow-motion gameplay.

9.1 / 10.0 - DOOM Eternal
Apr 2, 2020

Doom Eternal represents the natural evolution of its predecessor, replicating all those aspects that we enjoyed in 2016 and combining them with new and successful mechanics, which greatly improve the flow of the game and the strategic aspect.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an unreserved masterpiece, one of those sequels that does so much more than a regular sequel would: it offers a great visual and audio experience, really stimulating and incredibly sweet for the soul. Some technical flaws and some narrative recycle are little problems compared to these aspects, although they undoubtedly remain.

The story of Rachel's suicide hit us in the heart, not so much for the plot (which we followed with extreme interest anyway) but for the practical rendering of the negative human psychological aspects, such as suffering and the inability to accept the past and it does so through a flawless, out-of-the-box audio and graphics that will challenge your own suggestion.

Respawn's work pays homage to the world of Star Wars with a modest narrative adventure, made up of ups and downs: the respect and love for Star Wars by the developers make this game almost essential for every fan of the saga, while a solid combat system and a overall successful level design will also entertain fans of action adventures.

With Gears 5, the developers truly put their best effort in giving the players a game perfect in every aspect. However some flaws can be found: the narrative aspect has some issues, and the multiplayer part of the game is afflicted by many errors.

8.3 / 10.0 - Enter the Gungeon
Aug 7, 2019

With it’s mix of fast-paced action gameplay and challenging, yet very satisfying combat, Enter the Gungeon is a great game, although the randomness of the formula can be at times very frustrating for the player.
