Gensou Skydrift isn’t a good game. The ideas of interchangeable witches and the shooting of the cards with their respective powers to use in the competition are appreciable, but beyond that I didn’t feel particularly involved in the game. An enjoyable and fun work just that little bit, but perhaps with some refinement of the plot and gameplay, or the addition of some more particular competition also for the purposes of the plot itself, it would have had more effect. A little bit enjoyable and fun title, but perhaps with some refinement of the plot and gameplay, or the addition of some more particular competition also for the purposes of the plot itself, it would have had more effect. After all the tracks are very linear with only the circles of magic and the drift to perform, you could say that even just the races levels of Crash Bandicoot 3 are much more engaging and full of interesting obstacles.

The final result is inconsistent, and what we find on our hands is an empty shell with gameplay mechanics inserted by force to give a semblance of meaning, to create what by definition would be a "video game" but which in practice it turns out to be a not very successful attempt to tell a story, unfortunately not so compelling. If two slices of bread enclosed a single lettuce leaf technically we would have a "sandwich", but it would be very difficult to call it such, and above all it wouldn’t satisfy anyone's palate.

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.

Sadly, this game is more on the no side, due to its price but mostly because of its overall faults such as the gameplay with unstable frames (especially on PS4) when more enemies are on the screen, unprecise inputs, mutiple bugs, repetition of same levels. Moreover, the level of difficulty becomes all the more easier as one progresses in the game, and the repetition of enemies and dungeons doesn’t push the player to want to replay the game.

A challenge for the most hyperactive of you who will find the story a little slow but certainly very interesting. The graphic level after all is not too bad especially if we consider that the setting recalls a steampunk style that is always beautiful and makes us postpone some lack. The audio is a little bit strange, with the sporadic feeling of being followed by someone that in reality it’s your own step, but there’s the very well-chosen music that accompanies us and this is very appreciated. The game isn’t free from some bugs that even if disabling don’t fatally compromise the outcome of the adventure which is full of check points that will make us solve a possible programming problem. Paradise Lost is a little adventure to enjoy in a couple of alternative afternoons, although I regret a little that it could have been something more.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Hearthblood is a game that manages only at a narrative level to make a worthy use of the prestigious brand of Werewolf: The Apocalypse. At the level of gameplay it performs a sufficient task without ever taking risks and with only sketchy RPG options while at a technical level, despite not having particular bugs, it never reaches an adequate yield for the platforms on which the title is launched. A game that we recommend at full price only to those who love in a visceral way the settings of the World of Darkness and the paper RPG Werewolf: The Apocalypse published by White Wolf, while lovers of action RPGs should think about it only after a drastic drop in price.

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.

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.

Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead: is that a yes or a no? The most obvious answer to be given is a sharp "SO AND SO". The title will surely thrill fans of the original series who will find interesting challenges to overcome in the various levels; for everyone else, however, the game can get boring after a few hours due to the fact that it could take more than half an hour to pass a level. In case you just can't do without The Walking Dead, a chance could be given to the title of Headup.

All Walls Must Fall starts with a bang, in all possible senses, and then gets stuck in the banal dictated by the repetitiveness of the patterns both in terms of gameplay and graphic sector, going to run out in a very short time and not being too replayable despite the possibility of having “always different” campaigns; unfortunately these differences are so barely perceptible as to give an aura of monotony to the whole game, leaving in the mouth the taste of a good opportunity that has been wasted. The porting to Switch, although it has the not indifferent charm of portability, is not very user friendly, since All Walls Must Fall has a decidedly more PC-oriented system, in which management is decidedly simpler and less difficult.

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.

In conclusion, we are faced with a simple work but with ambitions: the developers have focused a lot on the gameplay, which is genuinely fun and engaging, with its ease and directness. On the other hand, the graphics sector is the main limitation of the product: however technically stable, the glance is heavily sacrificed and honestly crude: a second side of the coin that is really dark and punishing. War, on the other hand, is war and substance will always be more important than form. We might as well get on board the truck and start doing our job.

Mighty Fight Federation is a game that, despite its many criticalities, could be fun and rewarding if lived with a casual spirit, without too many pretensions. The problem is that in a videogame market like the current one you have to stand out from the crowd so as not to be terribly overwhelmed, and unfortunately the game in question lacks that necessary charisma. An enjoyable game but of which very little remains imprinted in the hearts of the players who approach it, demonstrating that riding the success of a genre doesn’t ensure the success of your product if you’re unable to have a hold on the public thanks to your game’s appeal.

Black Legend is a game with interesting ambitions. The gameplay is well structured in the fights, the dark atmosphere of the lost city in a mad alchemy of madness and violence is well executed in some respects (such as the voice acting and one of the side quests) and also some of the themes raised by the discovery of the origins of the fog are of good depth. Unfortunately, the many technical shortcomings don’t allow you to enjoy the game without being distracted by the aforementioned discordant notes but, if you are a fan of tactical RPGs, give it a try. Grant's misty streets could be worth the ticket price, especially in sight of patch improvements.

Monster Truck Championship is a title that aims at a certain type of passionate audience of the genre that manages to entertain for a few hours even if after some time it could be repetitive due to the few possibilities made available to the user even counting a low level of difficulty.

Re: Turn-One Way Trip is a game that I definitely started with good spirit, imagining to find a title with very simple mechanics but absurd and curious situations in line with other indie rpg horror genre products, and I was only partially disappointed; the lightness that characterizes the title actually remains one of its pivotal aspects, and all in all playing it was pleasant, at times interesting and fun, despite its limited content and depth. The biggest sore point lies in the epilogue of the plot: the final events are resolved in an unsatisfactory way, and it leaves us puzzled by the fact that everything is reduced to a minimum with so much approximation. A discreet title, a good pastime and a nice game for those looking for, as already mentioned, a "light" horror.

Despite all its weaknesses Tesla Force managed to entertain me a lot. A title with a very casual and arcade imprint that could appeal to many casual and non-casual players, especially thanks to its virtual infinity. It must be said, however, that after unlocking and upgrading everything to the maximum, the title loses much of its difficulty and charm, becoming less and less satisfying. If you’re new to this saga, Tesla Force could be an interesting product to play in its full arcade nature, in case you have already made the acquaintance of the "occult duo" the experience could be less captivating than expected, as you have the feeling of being in front of an Enhanced Edition rather than a new chapter.

Mutropolis is a pretty enjoyable game, with sometimes interesting puzzles and ideas. It was enjoyable when it comes to the egyptian symbology and the quirky references related to the current nerdy culture and past literature. It didn’t deliver though when it comes to a willingness on the player’s part, mine in this case, to keep going or to keep me interested in the long run. The plot and story were overall very simple and not so engaging.

Sir Lovelot is a game that I recommend, especially considering its low price and definitely in line with the content offered. Sir Lovelot requires attention, patience, sensory memory and reflexes, rewarding the player with a few hours of fun seasoned with a slight humorous aura. A title suitable for anyone who wants to try to get closer to the genre without jumping directly into that slaughterhouse, literally, which may be Super Meat Boy, but which perhaps will not be able to satisfy those who already come from those peaks that are unattainable for me now.

I would say that Exit the Gungeon is a fun game but also quite tough, so do not immediately lose heart in this bullet hell, especially if roguelikes are a genre that you like and do for you.
