D-Topia is a gentle paced puzzle-adventure game developed by Marumittu Games. You can feel Japan's influence in its minimalistic and bright art direction, which feels almost corporate. Don’t be fooled by the “cozy” aspect: D-Topia’s story talks about human cloning, AI control over people, and the influence of a possible Tech utopia on humanity. It’s a nice projection of our nearest future, with the difference that here you can control the outcome.

LumenTale is an indie monster catcher developed by Beehive Studio that revolves around Animon, mysterious creatures that speculate human feelings. Inspired by Pokémon, LumenTale stays as an unique experience, with a challenging gameplay, a nice and interesting story and a cute character design. The world building resembles Italy: it’s not immune to cultural stereotypes, but it’s a nice love letter for the Studio’s home country.

Mixtape is a synesthetic game where videogame, narrative and music combine to tell a short story about adolescence and rebellion. It feels nostalgic yet modern at the same time, and it uses music to stimulate your feelings and memories as a player as well. However, it feels more like a movie than an actual videogame, because the gameplay is very simple and almost useless.

In Their Shoes is a beautiful, artistic indie game developed by We Are Muesli. Seven different stories, forty-nine “Moments”, all set in Milan. Its art direction is majestic for an indie game, and the stories are a perfect representation of what it means to live in Milan today. It’s definitely worth a shot.

I didn’t know I needed a Neva DLC, yet Nomada Studious surprised me with this new and short level. This Prologue, which tells the first encounter between Neva and Alba, is a bit more challenging than its original game: its level design plays with lights and dark. Although the level is very nice, it should’ve been better off as a free update rather than a DLC. Maybe my expectations were too high.

We thought Sucker Punch couldn't make a game better than Tsushima, but they managed to do it. Ghost of Yotei is an overall improvement on a title that was already very good: thanks to the historical context, which is certainly more enjoyable than the Mongol invasion, Yotei transports the player to a wonderful world, with a well-characterized protagonist and a good balance between action and narrative.

Persona is a series that is very close to our hearts, and we had very high expectations because we know that each of its products is usually great but unfortunately our hopes were not met. This additional content does not provide any answers and, indeed, at some point we could not even understand where exactly it was going: Episode Aigis is a DLC that simply extends our time with S.E.E.S. without adding anything.

Spy x Anya is an empty game. While it has some nice elements, mainly it's fidelity to the manga, the majority of the game feels poorly crafted. The technical side is simply terrible, and the minigames feel clunky and awkward to play.

Persona 3 Reload is a bridge between the old and the new. It is perfect both to newcomers who want to approach the Persona franchise and delve into a historical title in the series, and to those who already know the impact this videogame had in the past and want to relive those same feelings.

Made in Abyss Binary Star Falling is not a bad game, it is definitely fun and full of challenging elements typical of a survival RPG, however it is lacking in many points. The technical aspects and the overly basic and poor animations, especially compared to competitors in the same genre of videogames, making it a title suitable only for die-hard Made in Abyss fans.

It Takes Two is a great product for those who want to have fun with a friend or, even better, with their partner. Despite its flaws, It Takes Two is a one-of-a-kind game that combines fun and joy with depth and drama of divorce making it a memorable title.

Gris is much more than a simple game, it's a really powerful sensorial experience, a journey inside our personality. Gris talks about us better than anything else, showing the deepest emotions hidden inside our soul.
