Sonic Mania is the Sonic game we've been waiting for years, the one we're likely to play for years. The bedtime fairy tale with a happy ending that we would like to hear told before bed. A tribute to the original capable of taking every single bit from the original cartridge and creating something capable of making us relive the same emotions of the past when the blue hedgehogs began to make the plumbers dressed in red tremble for the first time.

State of Decay 2 refines the formula of the original episode without overturning it: with good tricks and a couple of novelties not bad, among all the possibility to play in cooperative mode with other friends, the survival of Undead Labs confirms itself one of the best exponents for lovers of the horror genre, with a budget price that counters a technical sector that is certainly not exceptional.

If you never tried the game before, you should definitely buy the Xbox One version, especially if you own the hi-end Xbox One X model, in order to enjoy the nordic setting created by Ninja Theory in its huge 4K-majesty.

Impact Winter has very good ideas, especially regarding the gameplay and its artistic choices. Unfortunately, they get buried under a pletora of technical problems and a choppy frame-rate. Just like the snow, Impact Winter hides the remains of our civilization in the game.

The third book of Pillars of the Earth by Daedelic Entertainment is a worthy finale for a great episodic narrative game. Every scene is perfectly depicted and even voice actors reach new surprising heights. Overall the game is splendid as the cathedral made in this story.

Surviving Mars is an interesting, rewarding and fun to play experience. It represents a new "city builder" that allows you to create a colony in the red planet. A 360-degrees zoomable view that allows you to view the colonies from far away and your citizens in close up makes the difference: it seems like to play Sim City and The Sims at the same time. On PS4, unfortunately, the games suffers the limitations of an imperfect conversion from the PC edition: the on-screen texts are too small even on a 55-inches TV. If you consider buying the computer version (available on Windows, Linux or Mac) the game will be much more comfortable to play with mouse and keyboard.

Far Cry 5 is the result of a strong development made during the past few years by Ubisoft. It really is a mixture of all the strengths belonging to this saga until today. Although this new chapter detaches from a well agreed scheme, as it happened during the third episode with Vaas Montenegro, it is still capable to draw a good starting point for this series. And of course, this is the best Far Cry ever made.

A unique experience that changes in every scene and tells a story about the collaboration between two strangers, that will soon turn into friends. Josef Fares managed to create a simple but fascinating gameplay that forces the two players to keep cooperating in different ways along the whole experience, in a sort of interactive movie that you can live from Leo and Vincent's point of view.

NORTH is a special experience that, despite the lack of a proper gameplay and its short duration, succeed to make the player feel what it means to be an immigrant in a foreign country, hostile and far from the dearest loved ones. A nice experience with a futuristic cyberpunk style and an excellent soundtrack.

Super Seducer is just a crappy documentary putted for sale as a game. The only fun you will experience playing it is when La Ruina acts like an idiot.

Ten years after the original game, Burnout Paradise Remastered sends you back to the Paradise City thanks to a great porting by Stellar Entertainment, that allows you to enjoy the freedom of Criterion's racing in the 4K resolution. Unfortunately, some of the core gameplay features start to feel old if compared to much modern games such as Forza Horizon or the upcoming The Crew 2, but if you can accept those compromises you will find in this Remastered edition a great racing game to play along with your friends.

The Way of Life: Definitive Edition is a nice walking simulator that lets you experience a 5-hour long journey to discover the meaning of life. The first production from the Italian indie team CyberCoconut is interesting, but because of its slow pace and some unripe gameplay aspects the game soon starts to feel boring, despite a deep message that would have deserved a better exposure.

A solid and fun adventure which can unite together new players and old fans of Kirby's. A great game to add on your Switch collection, that really shines in the 4-player coop mode.
