Microsoft Flight Simulator is the new reference point for flight simulators and above all a new technical / graphic standard in videogame experiences.

What Ninja Theory has achieved transcends reality, creating a work that is practically perfect for what it aimed to be: an audiovisual adventure with a strong narrative component. Beyond state-of-the-art graphics and sound that will undoubtedly set a standard in the coming years, what truly astonishes is the maturity with which the team has taken an excellent game like the first Hellblade and molded it into something so qualitatively impressive that it becomes difficult to even describe. This elevates the medium to a new communicative level, capable of evoking emotions and surprising players from start to finish. Experiences like Hellblade 2, which leave a lasting impression on the soul, are few and far between in a generation, and we can only rejoice in seeing how the beautiful artistic vision of the Ninja Theory team has become a reality.

9.5 / 10.0 - DOOM Eternal
Mar 17, 2020

DOOM Eternal is the quintessence of the shooter, a new starting point for the genre and a clear candidate for the game of the year 2020. Never an uncertainty, never a doubt, the game id Software and Bethesda convinces and amazes from beginning to end, offering the player dozens of hours of content, evolving the previous chapter into a practically almost perfect product, where gameplay, level design, soundtrack come together in a surprising qualitative combination.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a gentle caress that knows how to hit you where it hurts the most at the right time. Moon Studios has been able to take the first, excellent chapter, and evolve it into something more; a title with its own identity and its own beating heart where everything around you lives, fights, dies.

9.3 / 10.0 - Cyberpunk 2077
Dec 7, 2020

Is Cyberpunk 2077 really the masterpiece we expected? The answer can only be positive. Cd Projekt RED's sci-fi and dystopian experience is one of the best productions of the generation, as well as one of the best Action-RPGs ever.

9 / 10.0 - Halo Infinite
Dec 6, 2021

Despite a turbulent development and many initial doubts, Halo Infinite succeeds where other FPS have failed: excite with a campaign level and entertain with a solid gameplay and well thought out. Remains the disappointment of some shortcomings at day one and especially a technical system suffering in many places and saved mainly by an unparalleled fluidity and an inspired art style. 343 has nevertheless managed to create a chapter ready to start again, through an incredible journey, decided more than ever to reconcile with the old fans of the saga and at the same time attract new potential users. The King of the first-person shooter on consoles is officially back, now the future is all in the hands of the American software company, which will have to prove that it knows how to manage and support the title for the next few years. Halo, is it over? No, this is just the beginning.

9 / 10.0 - Returnal
Apr 29, 2021

Returnal is a work of absolute quality, a triple A product that is completely disinterested in linear stories and well-acted tales, to embrace the game in the most literal sense of the term.

Dead Space is an authentic remake, revised and improved in every way from what we had come to love and appreciate back in 2008. EA Motive has not only lavishly improved the entire technical aspect of the original product, but has further enhanced the entire experience, making the Ishimura a frightening death trap, capable of terrorizing and concealing a story that is still fascinating today.

9 / 10.0 - Diablo IV
Jun 28, 2023

Diablo IV is the sequel that the community desired and that Blizzard has skillfully delivered. Net of a few minor criticisms, the fourth installment in the celebrated franchise successfully regains its crown as the top exponent of the action-RPG hack 'n' slash genre and does so with a quality and quantity of content that is simply overwhelming.

9 / 10.0 - Starfield
Aug 31, 2023

Reducing Starfield to a number is far from being easy. On the one hand we have Bethesda's most ambitious game ever with an overwhelming amount of content: full of secrets, quests, characters and casual adventures; on the other hand we have a title still anchored to old dogmas, with a high dose of proceduralism and some limitations that most critics will not appreciate. Nevertheless, Starfield is destined to become a new cult, capable of attracting millions of players for at least the next decade, just as Skyrim did before it, as well as being the first big star of Xbox's rebirth.

9 / 10.0 - Alan Wake 2
Oct 26, 2023

Alan Wake 2 is one of the greatest adventures of this generation; a game capable of finally daring from a narrative point of view, giving us a complex, layered, peculiar story full of pathos as in the best David Lynch stories. Sam Lake and his Remedy team have packaged an authentic work of art, surrounded by stunning visual impact and gameplay, which in its simplicity, works from start to finish. Were it not for the several bugs encountered on PC, we would be talking about a virtually perfect title. But Alan Wake 2 is nonetheless destined to become a milestone that we will talk about for many years, like a fine classic book or one of whose art films is so dazzling, it appears like a dream from which it is difficult to wake up.

DOOM The Dark Ages is an extraordinary game, a title that, as already mentioned, forcefully positions itself as one of the best of the year. It's DOOM to the nth degree, succeeding in evolving the formula without betraying its spirit; in fact, in some ways, it even returns to the saga's roots. It could definitively win the hearts of long-time fans, captivated by its level design and its more "grounded" feeling. It might appeal slightly less, but still immensely, to those who idolized the aerial frenzy of Eternal, yet they will still find themselves facing a deep, satisfying, and technically flawless gaming experience. It is, in my opinion, the most complete and narratively well-crafted DOOM of the modern trilogy, and that's why I was prompted to give it our Editor's Choice. We are looking at a title of exceptional caliber, a must-buy for every shooter enthusiast and another gem in the already rich Xbox Game Pass catalog. Prepare to unleash hell. Again.

8.8 / 10.0 - Control
Aug 26, 2019

Control is undoubtedly the most ambitious video game ever made by Remedy. The Finnish software house did not want to give life to a story for its own sake, but to a universe that can grow, mature and become something important in the videogame scene over time.

The Force is powerful in Star Wars Jedi Survivor: an impressive sequel in every respect. Respawn Entertainment has created something with a lot of heart, bringing to life a work, which between gameplay, staging, level design and an all-around well-orchestrated storyline, has proven to deserve to be among the best video games of this 2023. Net of a decidedly improvable technical optimization and while not revolutionizing anything in the genre, Cal Kestis' journey is one of those must-see adventures and the Star Wars experience we have been waiting for and can finally enjoy.
