The Games Machine's Reviews

8.7 / 10.0 - The Banner Saga 3
Sep 6, 2018

As the final chapter of the trilogy, The Banner Saga 3 should not be bought with the hope of finding some kind of gameplay innovations, but to savor the last part of an epic journey in search of safe place and truth.

The control system is less comfortable and the framerate not so stable, but Divinity: Original Sin 2 remains an excellent RPG also on console, with several improvements to the pure contents.

9.4 / 10.0 - Marvel's Spider-Man
Sep 4, 2018

Despite the lack of real challenge, Marvel's Spider-Man is an absolutely excellent title, with a fascinating, iper-detailed Manhattan and an incredible amount of high quality contents. The best game of the "web-slinger" ever.

Another Sight deals with a difficult subject such as blindness through a skilful realization, various mechanics, beautiful graphics and an evocative soundtrack. Highly recommended.

9 / 10.0 - Yakuza Kiwami 2
Sep 2, 2018

Based on the best ever chapter of the saga, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is an almost perfect remake in the technical side and absolutely stellar in terms of contents.

7.5 / 10.0 - Planet Alpha
Sep 2, 2018

Planeth Alpha is a sci-fi adventure really excellent in the artistic design, like a true moving fresco, but not as effective in everything related to gameplay, with obvious puzzles and imperfect stealth mechanics.

Aug 28, 2018

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for some player might be the right game at the wrong time. Rich in content but arrived in Europe after the great revamp of Monster Hunter World, the game brutally comes back to origins, offering in return a truly exemplary longevity.

6 / 10.0 - We Happy Few
Aug 27, 2018

We Happy Few is a game with an excellent narrative incipit, unfortunately limited by the open world size, mechanics, control system and AI.

7.8 / 10.0 - Strange Brigade
Aug 27, 2018

Strange Brigade, with its pulp magazine taste, is a good action co-op to play among most demanding titles. Unfortunately, the amount of content at day one is limited, holding back the score, although Rebellion has announced additional campaigns and new characters to expand the game after launch.

8.1 / 10.0 - HYPERGUN
Aug 23, 2018

From the incipit to the core mechanics, Hypergun is a colorful and fast roguelite FPS, with a neon aesthetic and a great sense of humour.

Although the length is even more limited than usual, the first episode of the final season of Telltale's The Walking Dead sets the right elements for the conclusion of Clementine's journey, looking at the zombie apocalypse from a younger and fresh perspective.

8 / 10.0 - Shenmue 1 & 2
Aug 20, 2018

Shenmue is always Shenmue, a milestone in the video games history that deserves to be rediscovered, despite the original limits and those brought by the ages passage.

9 / 10.0 - Yakuza 0
Aug 16, 2018

Yakuza 0 is an eccentric, engaging and brutal game, perfectly adapted to the PC platform, as an excellent pass to a great saga.

9.2 / 10.0 - Dead Cells
Aug 16, 2018

Dead Cells is the ideal mix between metroidvania and roguelite, enhanced by a solid, fast and practically perfect arcade action, with a range of skills and weapons able to infuse a unique flavor to any adventure.

9.2 / 10.0 - Phantom Doctrine
Aug 14, 2018

Phantom Doctrine from CreativeForge uses the collective Cold War imagery to build one of the absolute benchmarks for modern turn based tactical games, excellent in almost every aspect.

8.2 / 10.0 - State of Mind
Aug 14, 2018

Although the gameplay does not have much to offer and the longevity is very limited, it is practically impossible not to love this dynamic adventure of Daedalic Entertainmen: thanks to its own style, State of Mind is able to tell a story that is worth living.

7.5 / 10.0 - Deiland
Aug 13, 2018

Without telling anything really new or offering fully convincing gameplay mechanics, Deiland proves to be a fun and carefree "game curtain", devoid of a challenge worthy of the name.

The series arrives for the first time on PC as a really well done adaptation. Monster Hunter World is a stable and ever so graphically satisfying experience.

6.7 / 10.0 - Go Vacation
Aug 1, 2018

Go Vacation has several problems, too many to interest veteran players. That said, it could be a highly recommended purchase if you have little brothers or small children at home, eager to get their hands on your switch.
