Characteristic, original and engaging, The Lamplighters League is a small pearl that offers an interesting and engaging story, also strengthened by a very valid game design.

8 / 10.0 - NBA 2K24
Sep 19, 2023

NBA 2K24 is a video game that convinces but falls short on microtransactions in the career mode, improving little, offering an interesting city to explore and in which to make choices. The progress made is notable, especially in the most requested ways, but it could have aimed for something more.

Super Bomberman R 2 is an improved title from every point of view and in terms of quality. Many more game modes and many ideas. Finally, it's worth the price.

8 / 10.0 - Fort Solis
Aug 22, 2023

Fort Solis is a satisfying and simple narrative video game, with few real innovations but many themes and points of reasoning that thriller lovers might like. It's not a horror movie, so don't expect scares of any kind. It is not even approachable to works like Dead Space and The Callisto Protocol.

8 / 10.0 - Meet Your Maker
Apr 13, 2023

Fulfilling, fun and brutal as only certain video games can be, Meet Your Maker is a marriage of wickedness and fantasy. Great FPS stages and good building stages. Must have absolutely.

8.2 / 10.0 - Minecraft Legends
Apr 14, 2023

Ultimately, Minecraft Legends is a satisfying and engaging strategy video game that gets to the goal in an absolutely overwhelming way. Bolstered by an interesting setting, the war against the Piglins turns out to be well-written and orchestrated. The game structure, while simple and aimed at a wide audience, is excellently implemented. The marriage between Mojang and Blackbird Interactive worked brilliantly, showcasing the talents of both teams once again. The Otherworld awaits.

8.3 / 10.0 - Signalis
Dec 11, 2022

Signalis is a one-of-a-kind work. Uniquely curated and thorough, it tells a moving and detailed story that easily seeps into the player's skin and soul. The puzzles, never complex, are carefully implemented, prompting the player to think carefully about his moves. It is certainly nothing new on the market, but it is a work that faithfully reflects the past, projecting into a future to be discovered.

Master of Magic is back in a big way for the occasion after many, many years. Its unmistakable style, made great by the approach of MuHa Games and Slitherine Software, brings it back to 2022 in a more polished and improved version. The gameplay, which has remained virtually unchanged, is the real highlight of the work, in addition to an absolutely off-the-charts context, the child of excellent management of the production's lore. The magic is back. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

8.3 / 10.0 - Open Roads
Apr 3, 2024

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.

8.3 / 10.0 - SteamWorld Build
Dec 8, 2023

SteamWorld Build is a pleasant and exciting gaming adventure, calm and capable of captivating the player on the screen and transporting him to a fascinating world in a masterfully thought out hybrid. Even if more could have been done in terms of plot, the game design, the heart of the work, enriches it with notable nuances and approaches.

8.3 / 10.0 - Bloodhound
Jul 26, 2023

Bloodhound is an excellent and well orchestrated FPS that takes its inspiration from the great classics like Doom and Quake. On the narrative side I would have liked more insight, even if the rest reaches its goal. Must have absolutely.

8.3 / 10.0 - Nocturnal
Jul 11, 2023

Nocturnal is a characteristic and original videogame which, however, does not innovate the videogame panorama, while proposing an interesting and satisfying context. The playful structure, pleasant and extremely well integrated, could entertain for a few hours. A work to have if you love the genre and if you are curious about it.

Harmony: The Fall of Reverie ia a narrative videogame with an intense story. Even if the play structure is not original, it is still well blended into the context and works admirably. A must have if you are a fan of the Don't Nod stories.

Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly is a collection of wonderful and beautifully written stories. Going back to preparing a coffee, getting to know customers and finding beauty in these nuances could be a must to everyone. A big comeback.

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.

8.4 / 10.0 - Tamarak Trail
Feb 29, 2024

An interesting and engaging video game that offers a classic story and a context already seen in other works, while remaining faithful to its foundations. Tamarak Trail can satisfy, it can make you angry, and yes, it could take up entire days. Fantastic, right?
