Hollow Knight is one of the diamonds born from the passion and dedication of independent software houses. Nothing to envy from any triple A title. An adventure that ignites the player's desire for knowledge by proposing a consolidated formula like the Metroidvania skillfully mixed with the Soulslike genre. Curiosity will push us to find all the answers in the game world and to overcome any frustration due to difficulty. Hand-made drawings and animations create a perfect union with the soundtrack in order to convey a sense of bewilderment and loneliness and then reach an extreme calmness on the finish. A title not to be missed, certainly to be recovered before the already announced sequel.

This title is going to be remembered in video game's history, keeping on scaring all the video players, as much as Demon Souls did. It's clear how From Software attempted its best, and walked out from its comfort zone, with Acivision's help, to involve a lot more players. This is not just a video game, it's the sum of the values of fight. A challenge for few, for those who can face many frustrating hours spent fighting one single enemy, and then enjoy to give the final stroke. Through this video game you'll experience your limits, and you'll be forced on learning the technique in a rude and honest way. There are no cuts or tips, the only way to go on with the story and finish the game is training and discipline.

Massive Entertainment’s new work shows clearly that is a step forward compared to its precursor, filling up those gaps that made the product not really enjoyable and quite boring. With a valuable graphic, a Washington city well recreated and an exciting gameplay, The Division 2 can now catch the attention of the player not really interested about the game, thanks to small and big new features. Even if the audio system, especially during dialogs, could have been improved, it’s evident the effort and the passion standing behind this project. Waiting for more contents to come.

This new chapter of Devil May Cry saga made by Capcom, is perfect under every aspect. The gameplay is satisfying, wild, extreme and never boring. The sounds effects are incredible and enhance the action, giving to the player an adrenalin flowing. The character design is absolutely perfect, not only for the variety of enemies and locations, but also for how Nero, Dant and V are characterised. Devil May Cry 5 is absolutely stunning, suggested both to the fans of the brand and to all the players who likes "hack'n slash" video games, even if they've never played a Devil May Cry game. Just few flaws push this game one step away from a perfect score.

Dead or Alive 6 comes back keeping all the simple ideas that made it a great fighting game since ever. It’s not a mainstream title, but more a videogame for niche players. Maybe the small improvements will let a bit down the nostalgic fans of the saga, but this Dead or Alive is perfect for those who wants to get entertainment and fun without too high expectations. The moveset is unchanged, and that’s because Team Ninja still prefer to focus the gameplay more on timing than on strategy.

Metro: Exodus is the proper result of the hard work made by Glukhovsky together with the developing team 4A Games. Even if many features have been introduced in this title, compared to the previous games, the spirit of the saga is still intact, but actually those updates enhance the atmosphere of danger, worry and uncertainty that Artyom has to face in this new adventure. The game is great under many aspects: captivating plot, gameplay, soundtrack and an incredible graphic. Though, few bugs, tedious fights, and a controversial dubbing, make the experience far from being flawless. In the end, Metro: Exodus is a great game suggested to all the fan of the series, but also to who approach to the game for the first time.

Conarium is a game that has its own way to structure the high tension. It's clear that most of the dark atmospheres are products of our imagination, while we clarify the purpose of this expedition. The locations are able to shape pictures out of thoughts and premonitions. Better puzzles and a more complex inventory, would have made this game a complete product. Anyway, Conarium has the right to join that group of video games that honour the "lovecraft" style, that style able to create an incomparable horror genre, thanks to its genius and madness.

This product is perfect for those looking for a videogame marked by these words: calm, cooperation and colours. A puzzle game with platform dynamics that will not disappoint fans of this genre. Sure, the developers could have found a better balance for the difficulty curve, as well as the complexity of some of the puzzles is not really challenging once you learn the technique to use. Despite of this, Pode is still a really good game.

After a deep experience with it, I can tell you that we’re looking at a masterpiece. Kingdom Hearts doesn’t show any lack (but the camera control), being excellent in everything! It has just a limit: who plays it needs to know the story of ALL the previous chapters. That’s the only way to experience and enjoy the beauty of this saga, that grew up together with many generations of players. As you can see from the review and the vote, Kingdom Hearts 3 is a game that must be played. A videogame that moves you from the start to the end.

Vane lasts 4 hours, and if we have to compare all the elements we defined till now in the review, sadly, we can’t promote this game. The whole product is chaotic, cause of bugs, a questionable gameplay, and a bad camera management…It’s not easy to be satisfied just by a pleasant graphic design and a great soundtrack.

Gris is not really long-running game, you can complete the whole experience in around 4 hours. The game phases are well defined, through the use of colour: from a desaturated start, the player goes through different and intense hue of colours, metaphor of a psychologic journey towards the acceptation of ourselves. Gris will bring us in the deepest abyss of mind, where our fears and the rejection of who we truly are will force us on looking at everything as it was without any life or colour. Where everything is destroyed and hope is what last, but still, you can hear a faint voice and a weak breath.

The project made by Caracal Games it’s really good, even compared to the most popular products of the video game industry. The only limit is that you have to be really, really patient. It’s really suggested recommended to lovers of the genre and to players who want to challenge themselves. If you’re not one of those, I suggest you to look at something else. You could even destroy your console, like for real!

Even if this Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee doesn’t introduce anything new (like a new storyline and pokémons), there are few improvements (especially in the gameplay) that shows the potential of a great future for the new Pokemon, coming in 2019. Hopefully we’ll see a new monster generation this time! So, I suggest you this game for Nintendo Switch, both if you’re experienced Pokemon trainers (you’ll enjoy all the easter eggs related to old Pokemon games and to the Anime) and if you’re gonna play a Pokemon game for the first time.

I strongly recommend this game made by Quantic Dream. It impressed me under many point of view, and it can be considered the true heir of Heavy Rain, taking its strongest aspects (gameplay, interaction with the environment) and improving its flaws (a great plot and an incredible graphic). Though, the game still has some imperfections, like sometime too small environments, and stereotypical plot twists. But in any case, I suggest you to live the experience that this game can give to you, if you love graphic adventures and if you’re fan of Quantic Dream’s creations.

For sure, designing The Quite Man, Square Enix focused on innovation, but looking at the result, we can say the software house failed. More than all the problems we already discussed in the review, there are several bugs, system crashes, really long loadings, and a boring gameplay. The concept behind is really good, but the final product is not acceptable. This is one of the games that you can really leave behind in this 2018, that gave us a lot of masterpieces. Probably The Quite Man is one of the worst game of the year

Probably you’ll not even realise you just spent hours exploring, hunting and visiting cities, talking to people to study their routines. You’ll decide if to raid, to steal or if to buy a ticket to enjoy a show in the theatre. You’ll get a new haircut at the barbier shop, you’ll get new clothes, maybe after a warm nice bath. You’ll be kind with who need help and you’ll get a reward for that. You’ll make chaos, and the bounty on your head will grow up, or maybe you’ll get money catching criminals instead. You’ll feel the difference between mud, water, snow and any other kind of ground under your feet. You’ll ride your horse in many different weathers, pushing your body strength to its limit. And, after a long journey, you’ll back to your camp to rest, you’ll sit next to the fire, listening women singing and dancing.

At first I was a bit sceptical about this new game by Capcom, but after a long session, I can tell you I really enjoyed it. Even if it seems completely disconnected from the previous Resident Evils, and there is no mention of any famous character of the saga, this game keeps the main features of the brand. The first person view makes everything scarier, engaging the player in that perfect rhythm made up by the gameplay. If you’re fans of horror video games, you must play it. Capcom succeeded on its purpose, giving a fresh restart to Resident Evil saga.

I really suggest you to buy this amazing product named “Unravel 2”. Yeah, you could find it nor really long lasting, or even too simple for your “standards”, but the message behind the kindness of the actions of the two Yarny, ready to help each other, is maybe more important…and once you get to end of the lighthouse, you’ll understand why.

It’s really hard to ignore the talent of Insomniac, that made a game complete under any aspect, even if sometime our Spider-Man gets stuck in the movements between high buildings, or if side missions are quite boring after a while. I suggest you this game, especially if you’re a Marvel fan, but also if this is going to be the first videogame you play about a super hero. For sure, one of the best PS4 exclusives released in 2018.

The loyal fans of the first chapter were hoping a sequel about the dramatic story of Max Caufield and Chloe Price but, cause of the different finales available, would have been really hard to build up a new story. So it’s clear that Life is Strange is a saga that wants to tell us how strange and unpredictable can be the consequences of hard choices, through episodes and stories that mix characters and worlds different from each other.
