I can only recommend to anyone who loved the first chapter the purchase of The Last of Us Part II and of course also to anyone who has titles with a strong narrative among their preferences. Even if the story told is necessarily violent, considering the apocalyptic situation in which the protagonists of the story find themselves, TLOU2 manages to excite also for the naturalness with which it deals with issues such as love and hope as revenge and the lesser parts of human souls. A game that will not only remain in the history of videogame but that will certainly remain forever in the memory of those who have played it and that sets new standards in terms of both narration and artistic components.

Ys: Memories of Celceta takes the opportunity of passing on the Sony flagship to reveal that it has always been a must play for all JRPG lovers. With its complete and rounded gameplay, its compelling story and a really interesting overall proposal, the title of Nihon Falcom and Marvelous no longer really offers any excuse to those who hadn’t been able to approach this previously. Celceta Forest, in its mysterious enormity, has never been so close, and it’s calling us all.

6.1 / 10.0 - Waking
Jul 4, 2020

Overall Waking tries, but it's not enough. It tries with the excellent meditative phases, it tries by building an action RPG apparatus based on personal emotions and our intimate knowledge of ourselves, which will lead us to transubstantiate our fears and our hopes on the screen. It tries with a more than enough artistic sector, albeit not exciting. Not new, but well done and accompanied by a good soundtrack. It tries but falls into transposing the idea into practice. Its gameplay is why Waking fails. Coarse, simplistic and limiting, as it should never be something that aims to illustrate the human soul. The two-meter-by-two-meter anthropomorphic deer can continue to tap me on the shoulder on my deathbed, but I don't know if I want too much to follow him.

7.2 / 10.0 - Blair Witch
Jul 22, 2020

The arrival of Blair Witch on the Nintendo Switch can still be analyzed as a successful operation, albeit more on a conceptual level than on a technical level. The product, which still gives its best on the other consoles on which it’s available, also brings to the hybrid one of the Kyoto’s software house all its baggage of anxiety and fear, even if very weakened by the limits imposed by a port that greatly penalizes the graphics sector. It's weird to carry the Black Hills forest on Switch so simply in your pocket, as if its monstrosities are tamed. But don't make the mistake of underestimating its darkness on Nintendo Switch: Blair Witch is always ready to make you disappear.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris is a fun RPG for fans of the series, but it requires a lot of effort from the player to learn its rules and settings. The pace is really mixed at times and the various glitches make it frustrating, but exploring the huge environments of Underworld and battling the big beasts with your favorite character is fun if you can overcome these problems.

The game personally didn't drive me crazy but I couldn't even say it's not worth it. In fact, I would recommend it precisely because I really enjoyed the gameplay on the exploratory and combat side, I played it with pleasure and found it very fun and balanced in terms of the actions to be taken. It could be exactly the kind of game for those who don't have much time to play, but want to try a little something fun and not overly challenging.

After fifteen years it’s difficult to return to the market with the same ideas seen on PS2 and Xbox 360 but THQ Nordic and the guys from Black Forest Games have done a good job especially with regard to the graphics sector and the modernization of the title to bring it to today's standards. Unfortunately, however, the changes did not affect the structure of the game which suffers from the problems already known of the original versions, that is a basic repetition and a series of missions not too articulated with a limited variety. Overall Destroy All Humans! it’s an enjoyable title especially if you are looking for a light-hearted product that allows you to have fun without thinking too much about the details and a thick story.

Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town fits in today's scene as a balanced and good product, that can be a point of connection between an 16 years old way an audience now totally changed since then, which will still be able to enjoy the title as if it were new or as a welcome return among friends.

In an overview it can be said that Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is just that: a powerful deployment of forces by the publisher and a masterful use of the aforementioned forces by the developer to bring the Flight Simulator series back to the fore in great pomp. The result is exceptional and the most famous flight simulator puts on paper its superiority once again, thanks to unimaginable technologies even just 10 years ago. You are all invited on board: make yourself comfortable (but not too much) and enjoy the flight from start to finish.

The new effort of SFL Interactive and Maximum Games unfortunately fails to enchant due to a not too convincing gameplay and a gaming experience that fails to entertain properly due to its repetition after a few sessions, in ways that arise from good ideas but that fail to affect. Together with all this there is also to take into consideration the crazy launch price which settles at around fifty euros which absolutely doesn’t reflect the value of this production which is certainly lower and which could easily be put on sale at a more competitive price like 20 or 30 euros.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions, despite not shining for stubbornness and technical sector, turns out to be very fun and engaging even for those who have never heard of Captain Tsubasa; for those who spent their childhood with him, they will find in the title an excellent pastime that will allow them to dive lightly into their memories and experience them from another perspective. If you are looking for hyper-realism, go elsewhere, here you will find goalkeepers flying into goal, smashed and deformed balls, flying twins and many other techniques that make Ronaldo and Messi look like beginners when compared to Japanese fourteen year olds. And all of this is very beautiful.

7.6 / 10.0 - Mortal Shell
Sep 4, 2020

Mortal Shell is a remarkable bead, which does not require too much effort and gives considerable satisfaction. The combat system typical of the soulslike, combined with the sector of cryptic indirect narrative (also typical of the Souls) could immediately make us think of a soulless clone of the noble From Software saga, but a pinch of sensitivity is enough to quickly realize that Mortal Shell manages to deepen the known formula in its own way, giving a truly personal vision of the decayed and darkish world that invites everyone to explore. The result of the work of the developers is excellent, does not require a great deal of effort and is greatly enjoyable both for fans of the Souls saga, for whom the game takes the shape of a must play, and for newbies passionate about dark fantasy, which they will be able to enjoy the successful atmospheres created with wisdom. A Foundling has taken on the role of four warriors to fulfill his dark destiny, what are you waiting for to immerse yourself in the dark Fallgrimm of Mortal Shell?

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a product that practically reflects what we saw a decade ago with the "restoration" work of the product that is difficult to glimpse both in terms of gameplay and above all in terms of the graphic aspect, which shows itself with all the defects of the time. As interesting as the idea of reviving a product like Kingdoms of Amalur may be, it is not clear, at least personally, the reason for this re-release, counting the few general improvements.

KT Racing’s new title turned out to be an excellent rally racing game, capable of entertaining the player in improving his times more and more both in single player and online. All this without considering the support that the game will have over the next few months, considering that the offer presented at launch is more than valid. Therefore, the goal is centered for WRC9.

7.7 / 10.0 - NBA 2K21
Sep 15, 2020

As it was predictable, the news of NBA 2K21 in the current gen version are not so many with the team who preferred to keep much of the base of the predecessor by focusing on the refinement of some mechanics and other aspects of the game. To see a step forward we’ll have to wait until the end of the year when it’ll be possible to admire the title in its next gen version, which will be accessible free of charge only for owners of the Kobe Edition, which, in addition to a renewed graphics sector, will contain a new story.

The work done by Vicarious Visions is of the highest quality with the team that has managed to bring back two titles that have marked the history of the 90s, giving them a dimension worthy of these times. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is not only an excellent title in terms of gameplay, which will lead players to play it and replay it non-stop, but also a very good product under the graphic and technical sides, managing to make users to live an immersive experience in the atmospheres and minds of skaters. There is something for everyone from the challenges to the skate park creation system, from multiplayer to the possibility of breaking record after record with triks, in conclusion the title is a product of absolute quality.

7.9 / 10.0 - Marvel's Avengers
Sep 24, 2020

Despite its criticalities, Marvel's Avengers is a game that managed to involve me and have a lot of fun, giving me many hours in the company of friends and my dear superheroes. For anyone who is a fan of the Avengers like myself, this is a game not to be missed, especially considering that over time, being one of those titles followed by the developers for at least two years after their release, numerous other heroes with related missions will be added. We leave each other in the hope that this project interwoven between Crystal Dynamics and Marvel can evolve and improve itself to the best of its possibilities, especially considering the mistakes made in this, although still very enjoyable, first introductory chapter.

7.1 / 10.0 - Project CARS 3
Sep 27, 2020

Project Cars 3 is a welcome surprise: thanks to a solid and well-made technical apparatus, the title moves away from its historical simulation characterization to take a path capable of offering the player a lighter and simpler atmosphere, resulting a genuinely fun game that youngs and olds will enjoy, both longtime fans and enthusiasts of the genre, and newbies who are for the first time on a track. The engines have been hot for a while, getting on board and giving gas is now almost a duty.

7.5 / 10.0 - Tennis World Tour 2
Oct 4, 2020

After the bad and troubled experience with the first chapter, Tennis World Tour returns with a renewed style thanks to the work done by Big Ant Studios which, after the experiences with AO Tennis, are able to package a very good product even if not yet at the levels of the genre’s past great titles. The progresses are undoubtedly evident both from the gameplay side and from the technical point of view with the title being a good exponent of the genre, creating a solid base on which to work for the future of the brand.

After a long time, perhaps too long, the Crash Bandicoot trilogy finally has a worthy successor with the work of Toys For Bob that is practically perfect in both the gameplay and the artistic side, with Crash and his friends returning in better shape than ever in a riot of colors, special effects and Wumpa fruits. The attention to detail staged by the developers is definitely appreciable and the title fully reflects the qualities of an old-fashioned platformer, but transported to modern times with players who can have fun, and exhaust themselves, to complete 100%, sorry 106%, a decidedly difficult title but one that will awaken in most users more than a few memories of the good old days.
