9.5 / 10.0 - Death Stranding
Dec 13, 2019

I challenge anyone to say that Death Stranding is a walking simulator or that the video game medium is not as expressive as cinema and once again I invite you to get closer to this work.

9 / 10.0 - Valfaris
Dec 15, 2019

Valfaris is beautiful to see and fun to play. A title that sprays metal from every pore and that will immediately enter the hearts of fans thanks to an artistic section from hands in hair, with detailed, charismatic and original settings. Musically speaking, the soundtrack, created by Curt Victor Braynt, alone could be worth the price of the ticket. If to all this we add a gameplay fun like few other things, with the right depth and the right adaptability we are faced with a very clear situation: Valfaris is one of those video games to play during 2019, whatever it costs.

Let's get it over with: Ghost Recon Breakpoint is only half successful. If the technical side leaves us with the impression, in some ways, of an unfinished beta, what leaves the most bitterness in our mouths is the failure to dare with the survival element, which could have brought us all back to the early days of the franchise. Despite what has now been said, however, Ghost Recon Breakpoint still manages to entertain those who play it, especially if you decide to live the adventure together with other "comrades-in-arms". We're sure that Ubisoft, with the release of some corrective patches, can give its fans a very good and exciting gaming experience. However, as we write these lines, the impression is that perhaps it would have been legitimate to expect a little more.

After a long epic in front of the screen that cost me the whole weekend, I can only notice one thing: the real COD is back. I haven't played a franchise title for years with a single player campaign so immersive and exciting that I think it's a good starting point for what could be a new trilogy. The multiplayer is no shortage Modern Warfare is promoted with honors. Congratulations Infinity Ward! Let a new era of prosperity begin for the series!

Blacksad: Under the Skin is a beautiful title, with no twists and turns. If on the one hand there are obvious flaws, and the launch price may be too high for a title that lasts only 10 hours, you can not deny that, controller in hand, the game knows how to conquer, overshadowing anything else. The developers have managed to strike the right balance between linear narrative and interactive mechanics, putting the player in a position not only to enjoy a good story, but also to feel part of it. Paradoxically, it succeeds in everything that tries to innovate, and tends to fall into the more standard and classic elements of the game (menus, transitions, state changes, etc.) But despite everything, Blacksad is a title that leaves us with the desire to play more and more, and that makes us pray for a second chapter that will fix the problems found in this one. There is perhaps an element of uniqueness missing in the gameplay, something that in the future will make you say "It's clearly inspired by Blacksad", but it matters little, because Blacksad is after all everything it promised to be, a beautiful game.

7.5 / 10.0 - Coffee Talk
Jan 24, 2020

Coffee Talk is a visual novel that deals with important topics lightly and manages to make the player feel confessor, friend, confidant of the customers of the bar, despite the fact that they are often absurd characters. The playful part is simple in its structure, it is intuitive, but it is fun and consistent with the calm and calm atmosphere of the conversations. The beautiful designs and the never out of place sound are other factors that make Coffee Talk an experience to read and feel your own.

Admittedly, Speaking Simulator is fun, but it doesn't shine as bright as I'd hoped. After the first levels in which we unlock the additional features the game becomes dull and monotonous and above all never goes off the tracks set. The different scenarios proposed to narrate our rise to power are well thought out but do not represent a growing challenge (ok humans are basically stupid) and we'll have to almost commit ourselves to fail a mission and see the various technical failures suffered by the robot. In short, the title lends itself very well to a dull evening with friends or for a light streaming on your channel but once the 10 levels are over it doesn't have a high replayability. It would have been nice to have at least one free mode where we can try to create our speeches or maybe more options to choose from during the levels.

Through The Darkest Of Times is a powerful title, able to do justice to the subject matter thanks to intelligent game mechanics and a first-rate technical/artistic sector, between vintage graphic styles and disturbing music. The world of Nazi Germany, despite some bizza narrative and a replayability not at the top for the genre, is well deepened and able to interest for more than ten hours. If you feel like going for a ride in the worst of historical times, you've just found an intelligent way to do it.

8 / 10.0 - 7th Sector
Feb 1, 2020

7th Sector is an indie that follows in the footsteps of highly appreciated titles like Limbo and Inside, but it does so with its own distinctive identity. The dystopian cyberpunk setting is excellent, the game structure, based on solving puzzles, is pleasant and always tantalizing because it knows how to change at the right time so as not to become stale. Puzzles manage to reach rewarding difficulty levels. The only drawback we find is the controls that have made us crazy more than once.

7.5 / 10.0 - Bookbound Brigade
Feb 2, 2020

Bookbound Brigade is nice, it really is. The humor in the game, the innovation of the mechanics and the freshness of the literary characters in a new guise make the gaming experience exciting. It's also worth mentioning that the experience itself is damaged by a totally useless map, an excessive difficulty in some parts of the game, an uninspired soundtrack and little attention to the looting system. Nonetheless, I feel strongly about encouraging the development and purchase of the game, which is worth the market price at which it is offered without discounts.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a video game that gives its best in the company of other players with our own desire to eliminate hundreds of zombies. The missions that make up the campaign, in the long run, can be repetitive, but playing co-op in a team of four people things change radically. The inspired Italian setting and an always solid frame rate offer a rewarding experience. The best chapter in the series without a shadow of a doubt.

9.2 / 10.0 - Dreams
Feb 14, 2020

Dreams is just the beginning of a long journey that could lead to a turning point in the medium: a point of contact between creator and player, a new way of conceiving the medium. A bet whose outcome depends on the response of users and the management of the community by Media Molecule.

7.5 / 10.0 - Draugen
Feb 19, 2020

Draugen is an investigative walking simulator based on the story and the player's immersion in the game world. Its short duration, the lack of real puzzles and a path already traced that only needs to be followed could discourage those looking for a mystery that gives a hard time to their sixth sense. Despite this, Draugen remains an experience to be nurtured for its intriguing story, well written dialogues and exceptional aesthetics.

3.7 / 10.0 - Curse of Anabelle
Feb 20, 2020

A title that on paper has a meticulous and careful preparation, but that is unsuccessful in the technical realization and in many game design mechanics. Don't get discouraged Rocwise's team, you'll have the chance to correct your mistakes in the next title!

Feb 24, 2020

Infliction is a horror experience that cannot escape from the clichés of the genre, however it has a highly respectable atmosphere and environmental interaction that we have encountered in very few other titles of the same type. The puzzles to solve with the camera make the experience more varied, unfortunately in three scarce hours of play we will use it very few times. Caustic Reality could have dared more and filed the imperfections of a game that remains recommended for ghost story lovers.

9 / 10.0 - Table Manners
Feb 25, 2020

Table Manners showed me a good time. It's a simple game but at the same time it's not and that's what makes it perfect for when you just want to rip your brain off and have a laugh. I'd play it over and over again and I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with my friends, since we only share one neuron and can use it in shifts.

Feb 28, 2020

Let's be very clear: One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is, all in all, a pleasant game, sometimes even fun, but that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth to anyone, even fans of manga, or anime. The fighting is the beating heart of the game experience, but it's burdened with commands that you'd hardly call farraginous and inaccurate. The technical sector does not do justice to one of the most beloved franchises of the land of the rising sun in recent years, and it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Give it a chance, only six of you are a die-hard Saitama fans and partners, otherwise you'll move on, even if reluctantly.

This second chapter is a long journey, which not only pleases the eyes, but is also able to conquer the player's heart and soul.

9 / 10.0 - Nioh 2
Mar 18, 2020

Although starting from the excellent foundations laid by the previous chapter of the saga, Nioh 2 manages to innovate almost every aspect of it, proving to be a game of absolute excellence, able to meet the needs of every type of player. The most demanding and hardcore gamer will find his teeth, but even the user less accustomed to punitive mechanics will find his space, using certain builds and the Graves of Mercy. The soul cores and explosive counterattack are great additions to a gameplay already solid and compelling, but now it is even deeper and more varied, able to satisfy all palates. The only two flaws are the crafting and multiplayer, not developed enough, but nothing that may cloud our overall judgment.

Masterpiece - DOOM Eternal
Mar 22, 2020

A title filled with violence to the brim that flows fluidly, with FINALLY difficult fights in a landscape of games for softhearts. If you like shooter games and you haven't bought Doom Eternal yet, it can only mean two things: you pee your pants in your sleep or you don't understand anything about video games. Do you need a number ratio? 666/10
