LEGO Horizon Adventures is therefore a fun project, but limited. The glittering side of the coin is composed of a first-rate technical realization and the well-chosen light-hearted atmospheres, while the shadier one includes an extremely repetitive gameplay and a rather small amount of content. It is a game that gives its best if experienced in the company of friends, but it does not represent a big leap forward, at least from a playful point of view, for LEGO brand productions.

Mario & Luigi: Charged Brothers enriches the already rich Nintendo Switch offering with an adventure that has its roots in the brand's role-playing tradition, but manages to modernize it in practically every aspect. Despite some uncertainties on the technical side and an unbalanced level of challenge, this is a great event for all Mario Brothers fans that could also be a great surprise for those simply looking for a role-playing game to spend a few dozen hours of lighthearted fun.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is not a production without rough edges, but at the same time it is a welcome surprise of this 2024. The work of Stormind and Saber Interactive proves to be worthy of the prestigious name it bears printed on the cover, successfully completing the difficult task of adapting this film franchise into video game form.

Summing up, Jyamma Games' Italian soulslike gave us mixed feelings: the sparkling side of the coin is composed of a pleasant plot, a first-rate artistic sector and a valuable sound accompaniment, while the shadier one is made up of design problems related to bosses and a gameplay formula that is not always well balanced.

While presenting the same structural conformation as the episodes published 30 years ago and without trying to correct the slight congenital distortions, Emio, the Smiling Man, offers a story robust and flowing enough to keep players glued for its entire duration, as long as you compromise with an old concept of gameplay in which the player's agency is reduced to a minimum, and which often results in a trivial cycle of trial and error.

This new incarnation of MotoGP is in great shape at the annual appointment with fans.
