Immersive, deep and immersive... oh well, sorry for the sketch, Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss is a pleasant and detailed story that starts with the aim of detailing a painful story, made up of the various crew members, who have interesting subplots. The game design then focuses on offering a great way to tell one's story, especially to those looking for a fairly long-lived and intense experience. It is a video game that, however, could have dared a little more.

A video game to have, both for those who are passionate about similar scenarios, and for those who need a breath of fresh air,

The Operator, developed by Bureau 81, is a video game of very good quality for the many options it offers in solving the various puzzles it puts in place, also demonstrating a valuable attention to discovery and reading, which Bastien Giafferi himself has never hidden as his great passion. The engaging, headline, could lead you to reflect on society and what really matters. No, not in The Operator it's not about making a gaming PC.

An exciting and enjoyable multiplayer video game, which knows how to give lightheartedness and beauty to its interior, while maintaining a bright and crackling appeal. Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game is a title that can offer several hours of gameplay in total harmony. It presents itself and is managed well, net of a certain repetition of events, which, however, do not weigh down the experience too much. In short, a good test.

Monster Hunter Stories 1+2 is a very welcome package for lovers of the franchise dedicated to Monster Hunter. Now more polished, adjusted and graphically cleaned, it makes its dirty impression especially on PC, where the sixty frames per second fill the screen and color it. Two video games that come at the hottest time for Capcom and the entire franchise

Dread Delusion is an homage to the open world RPGs of the past, in which many times intuition and correct interpretation of texts were worth as much as skill with swords, bows and fireballs. A question arises, however: does this still apply today? Certainly not for everyone. Low-resolution textures and models with very few polygons certainly work well in boomer shooters, slightly less in games in which the environments are key components of the experience. Still, the story is very interesting to follow, and if you get past the overly basic combat system it can engage you for a fair amount of hours.

This new revival, in addition to engaging and exciting, details the talent of Tekla and Jonathan Blow. It is a new look that, in addition to involving and impressing, embellishes the journey, making it pleasant and much higher than it appears. The work is absolutely valuable, so much so that the vote below, exactly in line with the value of the work and the past, remains unchanged or almost unchanged.

The production is touching, violent, brutal and physical, complete and brilliant. A must have.

Robobeat is an original production that winks persuasively at POST VOID but follows a completely opposite structural line, succeeding in the overall but fantastic task of proving to be well mature and engaging. It's complex, but it's not a problem: you need to practice, learn the right moves and manage, of course, to get more than one note right. You need to kill.

Phantom Fury is a classic FPS that manages to engage and entertain. It is a simple but well-finished evolution of its predecessor, to whom it owes a lot and which can still be an excellent yardstick in the panorama of boomer shooters. The new production, while not shining for originality, knows how to be a remarkable follow-up.

Stellar Blade is a video game that, quite simply, takes the best of many works, expanding the concepts in its own way. It's a warm and long-running production, satisfying and real action, which could certainly manage to do its best with a second chapter. SHIFT UP Corporation, by carefully packaging its work, has given life to a new series and created a character that could surprise in the future.

The production, which tells of a world ruled by megacorporations, involves and strikes in an unexpected way, leveraging complex themes and situations, while expertly detailing the story of Ayana, a young woman in difficulty on a razor's edge.

Open Roads is an extremely classic narrative adventure that nevertheless offers a mature and passionate story. The game design focuses on the key engines of the many productions of this type and succeeds in the complex attempt to prove pleasant and surprising. A production that, without a doubt, has its own personality. Exactly like that of Annapurna Interactive, one might say.

Highwater è un videogioco efficace ed essenziale, ben scritto e forte di una trama sicura di sé e di un contesto capace di colpire nel segno. È un prequel che riesce a incastrarsi in modo unico alle esperienze del passato, con il team che ha abbracciato un sistema di combattimento a turni ottimamente implementato ma non così profondo. È un'avventura dinamica che fonda il suo fulcro totale sulla narrativa.

Slave Zero In fact, this is what the project bases its roots on: the player's learning to strengthen themselves and improve their skills. It's a shame for the absence of an endgame, which could have really brought the score you see further down even higher.

A passionate work of research and conservation that brings to light three splendid chapters and a game design idea that I can't wait - like many others in the editorial team - to experience directly in one fell swoop. On the other hand, the second chapter of the franchise is increasingly missing. And I can't wait already.
