Lost Words: Beyond the Page is a beautiful and moving interactive story that I highly recommend to anyone who appreciates titles that leave something behind after playing them and that manage to convey feelings and emotions even with simple gameplay, which nevertheless proves damn effective for that the developers wanted to achieve. If you are looking for a high level of challenge you certainly won’t be satisfied by this production, which is by choice accessible and comforting, also suitable for children while dealing with very mature topics and themes.

Double Pug Switch is an excellent product that reaches entirely its modest goals with its apparent simplicity. The player will engage in a trial and error gameplay of sorts, and they will have to try and try again the levels but they will do so in a game that perfectly combines the challenge side to the exciting one, although it being a simple 2D platform.

The project of rebirth of the Call of Duty brand continues with Activision that has found the right way to get the brand back on track and after the excellent work of Infinity Ward and Raven Software with Modern Warfare, the ball has passed into the hands of Treyarch who has been able to continue what has been seen previously by bringing back the events narrated in the original chapter of Black Ops by reviving iconic characters and the historic Cold War. The multiplayer manages to give good feedback by taking up the feeling of the Black Ops series also using the amazing feature of the adaptive triggers that are able to give unique sensations when played on PS5.

With Sea of Solitude we still discover today, two years after its release, an incredibly mature work from every point of view, graphic, thematic and also in terms of gameplay. The experience touches the perfection of the genre with an evocative glance, a soundtrack practically without defects and an atmosphere that is sewn onto the player making him breathe deeply all the air of a sea that is perceived so much calm and vast, as much as inhabited by creatures that perhaps we should let sleep. In Sea of Solitude there is everything: introspection, the focus on the character and on us, the openness and pleasure of travel. If during our journey we are then called to face our own monsters we will have the courage to do so: in this experience we are Light, Darkness, Sea and the same monsters. We have everything we need and on this tour we have all been kindly offered through one of the best video games of the genre, to be suggested instead of a book.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a very interesting product that combines two very different souls from each other, the first one with a more classic structure of the old Mario’s games that is still winning and enjoyable in all its well-characterized levels, the second one with a more innovative and modern soul that takes its cue from the recent Odysseytrying to experiment by embracing the open world component but maintaining the engine and content base of the accompanying game and keeping faith with the collectathon creed. All this can be also played both alone and with friends locally or online, taking the cooperative platform to new heights of fun.

Capcom lands on next gen with the Special Edition of Devil May Cry 5 and does so with a slightly weak edition as regards the contents: the character of Vergil, also sold separately at the price of 5 euros, certainly brings new life to the gameplay but in addition to this we would have expected to be able to play specific missions for the character or at least to enjoy some more cutscenes. For the rest, the title is always an excellent Japanese hack'n'slash that continues to be one of the best in recent years with amazing gameplay and excellent next-gen quality. If you haven't played Devil May Cry 5 yet, this edition has to be yours.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is an excellent free update for those who already owned the old-gen version of the title, with improved framerate and resolution and considering the low price it’s also the perfect opportunity to buy it for those who had only the next-gen consoles and hasn't had a chance to try the game on PS4 or Xbox One. The difficulty in classic mode is really hard and will give even the most experienced players a hard time while the modern one, with checkpoints, is suitable for all types of players and the amount of hours of fun guaranteed by this new chapter of Crash Bandicoot, between main and secondary levels, is really high.

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.

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.

Control Ultimate Edition is a title that you absolutely must retrieve, if you have not had the opportunity to play it on old-gen consoles yet. One of the best productions, on an artistic, technical and narrative level, by Remedy Entertainment. It boasts a well-scripted plot, full of twists; a gameplay that can truly amaze, which offers the players multiple opportunities thanks to the combination of Jesse's different powers. If, on the other hand, you have already played the Xbox One or PS4 version, it is certainly worth giving it a thought, especially considering it being free in the February PS5 PlayStation Plus list, and the bargain price that practically amounts to the previous retail price of the DLCs alone.

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.
