7.8 / 10.0 - Spacebase Startopia
Apr 1, 2021

Simulation and management games are never simple and intuitive and often the gaming experience improves with knowledge of the same. In this case, in Startopia, by combining more fields - economic management and RTS - the difficulty increases, but also the enjoyment of the game itself. With the graphic and sound aspect, which are really detailed and cared for and a detailed and fun setting, the result is a satisfying game from many points of view. Although the descriptions are really numerous and accurate, I would undoubtedly improve the explanations of the missions or add a summary of the resources or production methods to the main menu, even if only for those who want to waste time reading all the curiosities. Absolutely useful for those who, like me, have no idea what to do or how to do it. Therefore, Spacebase Startopia is absolutely worth playing. Lose yourself in the clubs and kitten cafes, clear the bridge of uncivilized alien waste and fight crime with advanced space technology! And let's hope that, for once, VAL changes its mind about the forms of carbon!

7 / 10.0 - Samurai Shodown
Mar 23, 2021

Samurai Shodown maintains its identity, even after many years, while supporting the evolution of the video game market. Fans will be able to meet their favorite fighters with better graphics to increase the enjoyment of the game and also benefit from new special attacks, each always reflecting the characteristics of the characters. Neither the story of the game nor the plots of the characters are deepened, as happens for example in other titles such as Mortal Kombat, the dynamics of the game in this one remain much more similar to other types of fighting games, such as Tekken. There are no advancement bonuses provided for the playing time of the characters, nor items that can be unlocked or purchased to increase the level or attack power of the characters. But there are numerous game variations and modes: Survival, Timed, Versus and Online. On the other hand, the innovative advanced learning technology and the improvements made to the graphics unlock a whole new sector of the game that greatly increases longevity and fun by adapting to the characteristics of the player.
