The Games Machine's Reviews

Sep 11, 2018

Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 is a good title, which would have deserved a much higher rating with more courage on the options and game-modes.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is probably the best Dragon Quest of all the time, but this does not automatically make it a game for everyone.

The new course of Tomb Raider saga seems to have defintively matured with this chapter: someone could find it superior to Uncharted 4, and it is not a blasphemy...

6 / 10.0 - Castle of Venia
Sep 8, 2018

Castle of Venia smells of good old games of the past, but too many technical limitations and the lack of content irremediably limit all the good things it can give.

Sep 7, 2018

The Forsaken represents a real turning point for Destiny 2, with lots of quality content that make the game much more varied and complete.

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.

Sep 3, 2018

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.
