Starfield aims to be Bethesda Game Studios' magnum opus: it's compelling, entertaining and familiar: it feels like spending time with a longtime friend. This also means that it is inherently old in its structure and in how its universe reacts to the player. It's a shame that it comes with some unforgivable sins, like how dull the planet explorations is, but you will spend tons of hours in the game nonetheless.

Despite some flaws at its day-one, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is an enjoyable experience on PC and this port is far from the issues we recently experienced on the PC release of The Last of Us - Part I.

The first free update of Hi-Fi Rush meets the needs of hardcore fans, offering challenges that can not only test your skills, but also incentivize their replayability to get better scores and all special rewards. The "Arcade Challenge!" update therefore provides new life to one of the biggest surprises of this 2023, embellished by the fact that it is not a paid DLC, but a simple free update.

Sonic Origins is still a good collection of SEGA hedgehog games. You can now pretend Plus doesn't exist, or buy everything together.

It may have its appeal to the public who, as a neophyte, look for an unpretentious JRPG, but overall The Caligula Effect: Overdose fails to do enough to stand out and be remembered.

The Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy comes to a close with a great piece of DLC, that offers a lot of quality content and gives a couple of much needed answers to long-time fans. Our only concern regards its nature and the fact that a lot of people could potentially miss this one and all of the important story beats it comes with.

Despite the discreet work done by Falcom and NIS America on the PS5 version of Ys IX Monstrum Nox, we are forced to recommend players who already own the PS4 copy of the game to "settle" for the free patch that brings the one to 60 fps, instead of buying from scratch the one reviewed here.

Burning Shores is definitely a test of strength and a stop that no lover of Aloy's travels should skip.

DNF Duel remains a good fighting game in general, but the noticeable drop in graphics quality and the lack of Rollback Netcode makes the Switch version the least successful and appealing.

Batora is extremely enjoyable on Nintendo Switch, with all the previously released content ready to go from the start.

The Last of Us Part I, on PC, is a broken game. We are not talking about the qualities of the title itself – which will always remain those of an undisputed masterpiece – but about the way in which a product of this magnitude has been converted to a personal computer. In the face of this, if you feel the need to relive the adventure of Joel and Ellie, our advice is to turn to the PS5 edition. In case you are not happy owners of a Sony console, you would better wait for the ritual patches, which – we are sure, but it will still take time – will fix the Naughty Dog title on PC, as it should be.

The only slice of the public that could still enjoy the complete package and technical improvements is represented by those who only own PS5 or Xbox Series X, but even to the latter we recommend waiting for the first, inevitable price drop and at least a couple of other improvement patches.

Anno 1800 is also confirmed on consoles as a pleasant experience, able to bring to the genre of management all those who tend to be reluctant in front of this type of offer or simply not equipped with computers – for a niche surprisingly increasingly widespread even among those armed with controllers. In fact, we have a careful adaptation of commands and interfaces, without this leading to losing the strong identity that distinguishes the work of Blue Byte. This, of course, with some necessary compromise, which does not affect the enjoyment of the experience even on consoles.

Despite reminding us of carefree years, in which video games were experienced in a significantly different way, The Legend of Dragoon is not the gem of JRPGs forgotten over time. The "Sony Final Fantasy" is in fact still a title too derivative, which has from its some creative flair here and there, lost in a sea of banality due to main characters without charisma, a plot overall really bland and a soundtrack certainly not very incisive. A bad game? Not at all. Only, not the great immortal classic that many remember.

It's really a shame that Bandain Namco didn't realize how important and beloved Tales of Symphonia is for both the franchise and the public. This is a barebone remaster, with a missing game and a little overpriced too, even if the game itself stil deserves praise.

If despite problems that are not at all secondary such as a backward technical sector, controls that are not always precise and at least revisable general balance, the role-playing games signed Piranha Bytes are never completely rejected, neither by critics nor by the public, it is because they have a soul – and also not negligible merits as much as their defects.

Monster Hunter Rise confirms the excellent title of Capcom already praised far and wide, by critics and audiences. Having it on the main home consoles is the confirmation that the Osaka development house expects from Rise and its community of fans still a lot. The improvements already appreciated on the PC version also return strongly in these "living room" versions.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on consoles proves to be as complete and satisfying an experience as the one made on PC. Opting for a revolutionary control mapping adapted to the needs of the controller was the fundamental decision to make the title fully accessible and enjoyable in all its facets.
