Inquisitor - Martyr is unfortunately the failed attempt to create a worthy RPG action set in the fascinating world of Warhammer 40,000.

A very traditional sequel of a little indie cult: Juan's return is still OK, but ultimately lacks the inspiration and the freshness that made the original so great. Maybe Guacamelee! was simply a better game overall, or maybe smash hits such as Hollow Knight and Dead Cells changed the face of the metroidvania genre for good: eventually Guacamelee! 2 leaves a pretty nice impression, but one that's far from the stellar debut.

As the interactive medium evolves, the tastes of enthusiasts change. A refined and rare work, but also unfortunate as Okami is, today it can be enjoyed on any platform by a potential audience certainly wider, but also more open to experimentalism. Switch's white page paints itself of the warm colors of Amaterasu's epic, thanks to a technically impeccable conversion aimed at making excellent use of Nintendo console technology, capable of making lustre and justice to the shining gem of Clover Studio and Capcom. Extremely recommended for lovers of the arts and culture of Japan.

Addictive, punitive as never before and very fast, Dead Cells is a title that mixes two kinds of poles apart, but it does so by building foundations that are difficult to demolish.
The arrival of Monster Hunter World on PC is not as triumphant as you would have expected. However, excluding technical and netcode issues, Capcom's impressive creature scratches as on console. It is curated, full of details, endowed with a surprising artistic imagery, especially with regard to the aesthetics of monsters. And it is also a pleasure to play, to master in its meticulous facets of gameplay, in the mathematical refinement of a build. Whether you play it just to experience the intoxication of facing a legendary beast, or to be caught by the wildest farming, Monster Hunter World knows how to guarantee a lot of satisfaction. And its value also lies in the scalability of the experience that - it is true - is not yet perfect, but it has certainly taken the right path.

Sega's famous blue porcupine continues to enjoy new lifeblood with this re-version: Sonic Mania Plus brings the beautiful platformer of 2017 in physical format, enriching it with a series of in-game and collectible content that make the purchase essential for those who have not played the original title.

Donkey Kong is a pleasant expansion, with a gameplay changed and adapted to the needs of the characters. Inspired, colored, passionate, he only sins in the repetitiveness of his enemies.

Ikaruga has gone down in history as one of the most difficult games ever, but in recent years, between one Dark Souls and another, the perception of difficulty has changed. This edition for Switch is the perfect opportunity to (re)discover one of the most beautiful shoot'em ups ever, a title that had made the "severe but fair" its flag before the much-talked-about masterpiece by From Software.

NieR Automata is now available for Xbox One, and this news should be enough, on its own, to get all microsoft console owners to purchase the ticket. The work of Platinum Games directed by Yoko Taro is an explosion of virtuosity mixed with artistic suggestions of various kinds, which draw as much from the video game industry as from cinema and the best science fiction literature; the whole thing is amalgamated in a playful formula as solid as it is courageous, which continues to find its weakest points in an end game too poor for an action RPG and in a technical sector that lends its side to some drop in performance in the face of such adrenaline-pumping and spectacular gameplay. The Become as Gods Edition on Xbox introduces many small improvements to the defects outlined so far, bringing to the shelves of the users of the Redmond giant a definitive and more refined version in relation to the original.

This is not the average campaign add-on you might legitimately expect: Octo Expansion offers a far more demanding (and not always 100% fair) experience. A series of 80 levels that will definitely engage hardcore veterans, but that at the same time might turn off players not too fond of game over screens.

Colorful, intuitive, deep and incredibly fun, Mario Tennis Aces is truly something for everyone, from casual newcomers to seasoned hardcore gamers. You'll certainly love its unique arcade soul and its rewarding gameplay (especially in multiplayer), yet you'll also regret its disappointing single player components.

Hollow Knight arrives on consoles after the successes achieved in the PC field last year. Born thanks to the Kickstarter campaign launched by the very small Australian studio Team Cherry, the metroidvania that decides to debut on Switch in its passage on consoles reconfirms itself as one of the best exponents of this genre that has returned to fashion in recent years. Enriched by an inspired artistic direction like few others, Hollow Knight guarantees its buyers at least fifteen hours of challenge and entertainment.

ONRUSH is definitely not the typical arcade racer you might expect from the people that brought you the MotorStorm series: it's a weird, fascinating and imperfect alternative take on the genre, one that says no to the finish line in favor of team work and mechanics taken from different genres. Despite its limits it certainly works, but not for everybody (and probably not at 70€).

Yoku's Island Express is one of those titles to be valued without reserve, hoping to send a message to the market and the development team, and to have an ecosystem populated by less approved and braver projects.
For 29.99€ you'll bring yourself home more than fifty titles that changed the gaming history in the early 90s: SEGA Mega Drive Classics is definitely a reasonable package, one that's pretty well built considering the variety of the selection and the online support. Not everything has aged properly, but it's still well worth it (especially at this price and during this seemingly never-ending wave of nostalgia).

State of Decay 2 continues in the footsteps of its predecessor, broadening and smoothing out a decidedly winning formula. Although some of the features of the title of Undead Labs have made school (coming to "infect" even unsuspected productions like This War of Mine), the title remains a unique product of its kind. An open world structure and third-person action gameplay blend with role-playing and management elements, creating an intelligent and effective mixture. The real strength of the product, however, lies elsewhere: in the ability to generate an emotional bond between the player and the characters of his community, each committed to surviving the horror by remaining attached to their ideals, their passions, their personality.

Donut County is a quirky puzzle-action inspired by Katamari Damacy: behind its weird look and its zany concept the game hides a valuable lesson rooted in anti-consumerism and ecologism. Too bad that – not without a cruel paradox – a game about a hole in the ground that swallows everything inherently lacks so much depth.

When you pull out of the cylinder a cult title like the first Pillars of Eternity, being able to repeat the same miracle becomes an almost impossible mission. That's why the guys from Obsidian to generate this sequel were faced with a huge dilemma, a real wall very difficult to overcome: create a product perfectly in continuity with the predecessor, perhaps being too similar or repetitive, or try to upset its playful foundations with a clear change of direction.

Owlboy, a small indie miracle, also spreads its wings on Switch. It is difficult not to fall in love with it: thanks above all to a visual refinement and a pixel art of rare beauty, of a playful soul devoted yes to the great classics of the past, but with atypical and original traits.

The value of Inked lies above all in the ability to stage a small story of love and suffering by means of a very personal style and excellent visual impact. The Journey of the Hero - and, in parallel, of its creator - is a magnificent oriental painting in motion to which the refinement of a few touches of digital ink is enough to shape a truly enchanting glance.
