Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will captivate you from the very first moment. We are talking about a work that manages to stand out in the RPG landscape for its extraordinary ability to blend narrative, art direction, and game mechanics into a cohesive and deeply evocative experience. Sandfall Interactive gives us a tale dense with emotions and brilliant moments, where the pain of grief intertwines with resistance, memory, and the struggle for survival. However, it's not just the narrative aspect that works well: the combat system, a hybrid of turn-based and real-time action, represents one of the game's highlights, offering deep and never repetitive dynamics that enhance each character's unique traits and satisfy both RPG enthusiasts and those who want to enjoy a more relaxed experience. The art direction, on the other hand, is a true homage to Impressionist and Symbolist painting, with scenarios that look like they were taken from an art gallery and settings inspired by a dreamlike, deconstructed Paris. In short, Expedition 33 is not just a journey through decadent lands and evocative settings: it's a path that constantly challenges the perception of reality and dream, light and darkness, life and death. With solid longevity, a world rich in activities, and a surprisingly polished technical aspect, the title emerges not only as one of the most fascinating and significant surprises in the genre, but also as one of the best video games (so far) of this 2025.

Split Fiction is an experience that celebrates creativity and human connection, immersing players in the role of two young writers tormented by their inner demons. It's precisely the differences between the two that give rise to worlds totally distinct from each other, allowing players to enjoy gameplay that is always diversified, fresh, and fun. In this, the title from Hazelight Studios is nothing short of excellent, continuously proposing new game mechanics within graphically and technically spectacular levels. However, the narrative is lacking, generally of a lower standard compared to It Takes Two and at times banal and predictable. In any case, if you're looking for a local or online co-op experience, Split Fiction is highly recommended, representing the perfect title to entertain the whole family.

Monster Hunter Wilds confirms and surpasses all expectations, establishing itself as an epic and innovative chapter in the series, capable of balancing tradition and novelty impeccably. With an engaging plot that explores current themes such as the coexistence of man and nature, the game offers a deeper narrative experience than previous titles, enriched by well-characterized characters and a living, dynamic world. The biomes, vast and diverse, are made even more fascinating by climatic cycles that influence both exploration and hunts, transforming the environment into a strategic ally or adversary. On the other hand, the new game mechanics, such as the introduction of Seikret and Precision Mode, add depth and versatility to combat, making each hunt a unique and stimulating experience. Technically, too, Monster Hunter Wilds is a true masterpiece: graphically spectacular, with monsters and environments curated to the smallest detail, and stable performance that ensures a smooth experience (save for some rare frame drops in multiplayer). With an endgame rich in content that we will certainly talk about in the coming weeks, Monster Hunter Wilds already stands as one of the best video games of 2025, so we can't wait to find out what Capcom has in store for the future of the title and, more generally, the series.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is, in part, exactly what was expected from the moment it was announced: a completely over-the-top title that doesn’t take itself too seriously, allowing Majima—one of the series’ most beloved characters—to steal the spotlight and shine on his own. This departure from the main Yakuza storyline makes the game an excellent entry point for newcomers eager to discover what makes the franchise so entertaining and iconic, all while offering a gameplay experience packed with engaging elements that remain consistently enjoyable. On the other hand, however, the game suffers from the same narrative shortcomings as Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, with questionable writing choices from the development team—one that has, since the very inception of Yakuza, set a high standard for exceptional storytelling.

"Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle is exactly what we were waiting for—and hoping for—a truly immersive experience that lets you step into the shoes of the most beloved archaeologist of all time. It achieves this thanks to a story that is undoubtedly better than those of the most recent films in the series, spectacular settings meticulously crafted down to the smallest details, and an action-adventure gameplay style that rewards exploration."

Life is Strange: Double Exposure may not be the continuation of Max’s story we imagined after finishing the first title in the series, but it is certainly a return as unexpected as it is welcome. Deck Nine and Square Enix have managed to bring to life a story with darker, more mature tones.

The Until Dawn remake features a solid graphical update, with noticeable improvements in the visual department and a few minor narrative additions. However, it remains a technically imperfect experience, and the changes are not enough to justify the 70-euro price tag, especially for those who have already played the original title.

Star Wars: Outlaws is not the open-world Star Wars dream we had hoped for, but we can't deny that Kay Vess' adventure was still enjoyable. Unfortunately, Ubisoft didn't stray far from its typical open-world formula and fell short with the protagonist, who lacks the effective characterization needed to make players empathize with her or become truly invested in her story.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a game that successfully blends action, strategy, and management elements, offering a varied and engaging experience. My initial hesitation towards the strategy genre turned into growing satisfaction as I progressed through the levels, thanks in part to the highly inspired artistic direction and attention to Japanese cultural details that make Capcom's title unique and captivating. However, certain aspects, such as character design and the storyline, could have been improved.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a clear example of Nintendo's strategy to revisit and enhance classic titles to adapt them for modern consoles. With improved graphics and updated features, this remake offers a gaming experience that maintains the charm of the original while introducing new elements that make it enjoyable even in 2024. However, some limitations persist, such as the inability to save during missions, which could be frustrating for some, and the absence of a multiplayer mode during the campaign.

Skull and Bones is not only not the "quadruple A" promised by Ubisoft, nor is it a game capable of bringing to life the pirate dream of all those who have ever dreamed of being able to command a black-flagged ship.

The team at THQ Nordic has managed not only to bring Alone in the Dark back to life, but to breathe so much new life into it that it has become a stand-alone work perfectly in keeping with the modern era and, at the same time, with a noir-like charm that only games of yesteryear had.

It is difficult to promote Foamstars: what was pitched as an innovative "party shooter" turned out to be a game as a service that has little new to offer. The online modes currently available are few and not always accessible, while the gameplay is so chaotic and cumbersome that two games are enough to instill the desire to put down the controller.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an accessible and well-packaged JRPG that is sure to delight fans of the series thanks to a well-thought-out combat system, a wide range of usable characters, and a curated art style. Despite this, its appeal definitely diminishes for all those unfamiliar with it.

Bandai Namco has succeeded in achieving its goal: Tekken 8 oozes next-gen from every pore (or rather, pixel). From the completely overhauled characters to the more cinematic settings than ever before, via the spectacular story footage, every frame has been taken care of to the finest detail, resulting in an impressive piece of work.

Super Crazy Rhythm Castle is a definitely original rhythm game: instead of choosing which songs to play from a song list, you will immerse yourself in a real music adventure, alone or together with a team of up to 4 players. Its strength is precisely in being able to come up with something innovative, but it is also its downfall.

Kazuma Mechagodzilla is back, and he's back more fierce than ever in Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, a title that, while a spin-off of the main series, manages to fully deliver, offering a must-play experience for Yakuza fans.

WarioWare: Move It! continues the spin-off saga with the same exuberance and wackiness as the previous chapters, immersing us in more than 200 brand-new mini-games. If you are a fan of WarioWare you will surely enjoy this chapter as well, which takes full advantage of the Joy-Con motion control technology to bring absurd poses and situations to life.

Although Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is a bit more of the same as the first installment, Milestone still managed to package a solid, fun game that is perfectly capable of conveying the spirit of Hot Wheels.

Have a Nice Death is a title with an extremely solid art compartment: the cartoon style will convince you from the first moment, while the jazz-tinged soundtrack will keep you company throughout the adventure. Although the combat mechanics are well thought out and allow the player to approach opponents in different ways, the roguelike element is lost a bit due to a wrong balance between skill and story progression at each run.
