Subnautica: Below Zero offers a more immediate, accessible and complete gaming experience compared to the first chapter of the saga, providing a more impactful and suitable title for those who do not like too dispersive survival games. To succeed in this, however, many aspects of the original title have been simplified, resulting in a less meaty and varied game. A different experience then, but worth the effort.

F1 2021 pairs the franchise's traditional modes with the excellent story mode Braking Point, gaining additional longevity and freshness. The gameplay is well suited to both novices and experienced players, the damage management is excellent but there is room for improvement in regard to the graphics. Ultimately, a definitely recommended title.

An intriguing and compelling historic tactical sim, with a deep scenario reproduction and lots of units to use. The base contents can offer hours of enjoìyment, but be prepared to pay a lot to play all the scenarios, sold as DLCs.

An engaging co-op adventure, capable of providing a few hours of healthy fun thanks to a decent variety of situations and fun mini-games. Something more could definitely be done on the longevity front, but given the price and the presence of the Friend Pass, this is a flaw on which you can turn a blind eye if you are looking for an exciting and full of puzzles adventure with which to spend a couple of evenings with a friend.

Cosmic Top Secret is a fascinating, unique and surreal title that immerses us in the secrets of the Cold War in Denmark, all with a personal and intimate narrative. It's not a game without flaws and it's certainly not for everyone, but it's definitely worth a try for those looking for something that's out of the box.

Rust Console Edition is an addictive multiplayer survival game that will give great satisfaction only to those who will embrace its philosophy based on cooperation and PvP fights, without which the gaming experience is likely to become too frustrating. In addition, the game is suffering from a very poor technical realization, so as to seem an early access game rather than a full one. Given these issues, it is only advisable to super-enthusiasts of the genre.

An undoubtedly satisfying game, even if it is not free of flaws and, at times, can be too arcade-y. Many different and compelling disciplines are accompanied by some AI and control issues that somewhat undermine the playability of some of them. Nonetheless, SEGA's new Olympic game can provide many hours of healthy fun, especially if played with friends.

REKT! High Octane Stunts is a cheap and immediate game, without much depth and variety but fun enough to work as a casual filler when we aren't in the mood for more demanding games.

Scarlet Nexus doesn't bring revolutions, but it manages to enhance its strengths with dynamic and fun gameplay, a cast of well-defined characters and a deep and mature story, all spiced up with a unique artistic style. A title definitely worth trying for all fans of Action-JRPGs.

A very low-effort remaster collection, that even pales in comparison with the same games ran via enhanced backward compatibility on Xbox.

Green Hell is a good story-driven survival game, even if with some problems with the controls and the initial difficulty. The co-op play option is also excellent, allowing players to distribute tasks making the whole experience more enjoyable.

Necromunda: Hired Gun gets some good ideas and a great potential and throws them away in a bad production, anonymous plot and embarrassing direction.

Hitchhiker offers us a unique concept, a memorable story and plenty of creative surprises, captivating us from the beginning to the end credits. Strongly recommended to fans of artistic and experimental indies and deep narrative experiences.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is one of the best remasters so far. Despite some understandable technical limitations due to the games age, their quality and the large amount of content translates into an offer not to be missed for those who previously missed the saga, while the excellent technical work makes it very attractive for die-hard fans too.

King of Seas is a satisfying pirate role-playing game, that while not too original, still manages to offer us a fun, unique and recognizable mix, especially thanks to its combat system finding the right middle ground between immediacy and depth.

Biomutant shows a big potential, but it unfortunately misses to fully reach its initial ambitions due to reused content, some narrative problems, and a technical production not on par with today's standards. The game is nevertheless still good and capable of entertaining with its frenetic gameplay and its beautiful scenarios; it's therefore recommended to lovers of the genre.

MLB The Show 21 is the baseball simulation par excellence, finally available on Xbox. Although the game doesn't deviate too much from past episodes, it is still a real masterpiece, suitable for baseball fans and newcomers alike.

Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a multiplayer title with good potential, but it doesn't manage to express all its qualities in the right way. The excellent level design and artistic component end up being overshadowed by technical problems, a lack of content and, above all, a limited and unbalanced matchmaking system.

Protocol may have been an interesting experience in VR, but as a classic game it turns out to be a slow, boring, frustrating, sloppy and repetitive action/puzzle game. It could have been more interesting with a deep gameplay redesign, but as it is, we wouldn't recommend it even to die-hard fans of first-person puzzle games.

Resident Evil Village is an incredible piece of work, capable of keeping us glued to the screen for the entire story. Although there are some flaws that make it closer to an excellent game rather than a masterpiece, we recommend everyone to play it as it's a good product in almost all aspects, which could also make you approach the saga for the first time.
