Lies of P Complete Edition is the sum of the experience created by NOUGH Studio and Neowiz. The game retraces the classic tropes of the Soulslike subgenre, improving the formula started by FromSoftware in some ways. On Nintendo Switch 2, the Balanced mode feels much closer to the fluidity of 60fps than to the heaviness of 30, while still leaving room to improve visual quality or add other elements.

Seventeen years have passed since its first release, but the value of Steins;Gate remains practically untouchable. STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT, unfortunately, fails to be its best incarnation.

The years on its shoulders are noticeable, especially in terms of visuals and animations, but EXSTETRA is quite an interesting JRPG, boasting remarkable character design and a peculiar kissing mechanic that manages to win you over.

A parodic, low-poly, out-of-control version of Crazy Taxi, capable of pushing you to start one run after another despite barely ever introducing anything new.

Echoes of Aincrad had a huge opportunity in its hands and squeezes almost every good idea into a shallow, disappointing execution.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is a more than valid entry point for anyone who never had the chance to discover the series at launch. The visual reconstruction is nearly flawless, and the audio manages to move you without relying on nostalgia

Vampire Crawlers perfectly blends the style of Vampire Survivors with dungeon crawler mechanics, with an identity and an idea that will be hard to replicate in the future.

Rhythm Paradise Groove returns without reinventing its formula, and proves it still has plenty to say. The result is a rich, immediate experience that challenges even players who think they already have rhythm in their blood.

A distinctive work, not always perfectly balanced, but with a personality so strong it's hard to ignore.

Gameplay remains the real strength of this production, thanks to an immediate, enjoyable approach close to simulation, working well both in quick matches and in World Tour mode.

The work done by MAGI Inc. is impressive, not only for the amount of content, but especially for how every player choice truly carries weight on Alice's growth and the story's evolution. Magical Princess is not just a great game, but an experience of infinite sweetness that was truly needed.

Beehive Studio proves to have talent and ideas. The problem is that not everything maintains the same standard of quality.

Housemarque has shown it listened to the criticism aimed at Returnal, building a more accessible and layered experience without giving up its identity of frantic combat, demanding challenges, and a strong arcade component.

The gacha system without a 50/50 represents one of the smartest ideas seen in the genre in recent years. Neverness to Everness has everything it takes to join the ranks of HoYoverse, Kuro Games, and Hypergryph.

Ghost Master: Resurrection is an AI-upscaled remaster disguised as an Unreal Engine 5 remake, a practice we simply cannot justify, no matter how you look at it.
