The Games Machine

Nightreign offers hours of entertainment, frenetic battles, and spectacular boss fights to all players who are lucky enough to visit Limveld with two friends by their side, as well as the experienced Elden Ring veterans looking for a good challenge. The same cannot be said for those who have to find their allies through online matchmaking, due to an in-game communication system particularly inadequate for such a complex and punishing game.

F1 25 marks an improvement over the previous installment, featuring new content and a more in-depth My Team mode. The LIDAR scanning has made some tracks much more realistic, though the disparity with those that haven't been updated is noticeable. As for Braking Point, once again, the developers have opted for a highly dramatized approach to Formula 1, resulting in a simplistic and somewhat unrealistic narrative. The driving model remains largely unchanged, offering a good balance between arcade and simulation.

Deck of Haunts is fun for its mechanics and the reversal of perspective, but it lacks a real narrative bite and a crescendo of tension: it is interesting from a conceptual point of view, but it lacks that extra spark that makes the difference.

The peculiar gameplay of Into The Restless Ruins combines familiar but only seemingly incompatible game elements. Dungeon crawling, deck-building and roguelike blend to perfection in Ant Workshop's title, which rewards skill as much as daring and curiosity. Longevity is not its strong suit, but the experience is undoubtedly worth it.

The developers of Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon call it a love letter to open world RPGs as if the game were just a tribute to the masterpieces of the genre such as Skyrim or Oblivion, when in fact we are dealing with a production with great personality, spectacular from an artistic point of view and with a plot entangled enough to stick us to the monitor for quite some time. The gameplay does not aim to innovate the genre, but it offers everything you could want from a modern role-playing game, reinterpreting the story of King Arthur in a dark key full of compelling combat.

Monster Train 2 builds upon the winning formula of its predecessor, enriching it with new factions, mechanics, and game modes that expand the content of the original title. Without radically changing anything, it delivers a deep and highly replayable experience, featuring a rewarding progression system and a steadily increasing difficulty curve that encourages dedication, learning, and experimentation. Unfortunately, the random element plays a significant role in high-difficulty matches, but that's both the charm and the challenge of roguelite deckbuilders.

Deliver At All Costs seems to be aware of its limitations, and by virtue of that the guys at Studio Far Out Games decided to focus their attention on the most important elements, such as the quirky and original missions, or the layout of St. Monique City. However, not everything is at the same level: the animations of the humans are quite stiff and in general everything is poorly polished, but fun still abounds and that is what matters most.

A faithful remaster of a PS2 classic, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny brings back the brooding atmosphere and layered storytelling fans remember. The improved resolution and new QoL features are welcome, but the lack of real enhancements or modern refinements holds it back. While Jubei's journey remains compelling and replayability is high thanks to branching paths, the dated combat and stiff controls may deter newcomers. Longtime fans will appreciate the nostalgia, but this feels more like preservation than revival.

Blades of Fire alternates very good mechanics (the forge and the combat system) with less successful ones (characterization, narrative and game world). It is well playable and fun, but it has the feeling of a wasted opportunity.

Once the initial enthusiasm for the dual wielding weapon and the three warriors has waned, run after run the flaws of Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade become more and more evident and allow excessive repetitiveness to take over.

RoadCraft aims for a specific target – that is, people who find heavy machinery unbelievably cool – and hit it straight in the middle, granting dozens of hours of playtime spent paving roads and using cranes. It could use some work on the interface, though.

For players who choose to give it a chance, just one piece of advice: 100 days may seem like a lot, but you will often return to the walls of the Last Defense Academy. Perhaps more often than you might think.

At the moment, it seems more like a collection for nostalgics and collectors than a platform on which to build a new online scene, but Capcom has shown that it knows how to listen to the complaints of fans and who knows, maybe Capcom vs. SNK 2 could free itself from the chains of that wicked revision very soon .

An action cop game that winks at Miami Vice, Hill Street and other historical detective series from the 80s. The game structure is interesting, the chases intense and challenging and the tasks to be performed quite varied, but in the long run repetitiveness makes itself felt and a few technical glitches break the magic. Technically we are close to average, but a few corrections are needed to put right the less than perfect fluidity and a few too many glitches.

Despelote is an emotional leap into childhood, among soccer balls, dreams and nostalgia. As little Julián, we relive the excitement of 2001 in Quito as Ecuador, in the midst of an economic crisis, dreams of World Cup qualification. The game blends deliberately retro digital photography, hand drawings, and ambient sound design to render a touching and well-directed autobiographical tale. Part of the gameplay includes Tino Tini's Soccer 99, a purposefully crude demake of Kick Off that perfectly reflects the nostalgic and messy tone of childhood. It lasts a bare couple of hours, but will stay with you much longer.

Doom: The Dark Ages is an exciting evolution of the franchise, capable of surprising with its more structured narrative approach and gameplay innovations, without losing the brutal and metallic identity that has always distinguished the saga.

Spirit of the North 2 takes the contemplative experience of the first chapter and expands it into a larger open world full of biomes and secrets. Combat, quests and inventory are excellently replaced by exploration, environmental puzzles and outstanding art direction. The main new feature is the introduction of the raven, able to give wings to the fox, just like a famous beverage. The only minuses: an automatic jumping system that is sometimes unpredictable and a camera that is not always accurate. A poetic title, visually gorgeous, but with some glitches in the gameplay.

Lushfoil Photography Sim is a very interesting photo-camping simulator. Well done in the mechanics related to the reflex parameters, as in the creation of the game maps.

More solid, more varied and sillier than ever, GORN 2 is the sequel that anyone who loved the first chapter must play. It doesn't invent anything new, it simply perfects and enriches every ingredient of the recipe that made its predecessor a cult. And that's fine.

A sci-fi adventure characterised by light tones and fresh gameplay, capable of providing satisfaction... as long as you are a curious gamer. Curiosity is essential to fully appreciate the multifaceted exploration component of Revenge of the Savage Planet and discover all its secrets. If No Man's Sky and Outer Wilds had had a relationship, this would have been their legitimate child.
