Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp joins that list of productions whose gameplay has not been affected in the slightest by the passage of time. The two titles made in the early 2000s by Intelligent Systems and Nintendo remain to this day two of the best exponents of the RTS genre even if the "wow effect" that permeated these games more than two decades ago has, of course, subsided by virtue of all that has come after.

Dead Island 2 is a production that focuses everything on immediate and genuine fun. It achieves this by employing superbly crafted world building, immediate and fun gameplay, and a disengaged narrative studded with undoubtedly exaggeratedly characterized characters. While this is a more than convincing restart of a franchise that was now considered dead and buried, some 12-year-old smears remain that will hopefully be cleaned up in a future new chapter in the saga. For the time being, however, all that remains is for me to thank Dambuster for a job well done.

Ultimately, Minecraft Legends is a satisfying and engaging strategy video game that gets to the goal in an absolutely overwhelming way. Bolstered by an interesting setting, the war against the Piglins turns out to be well-written and orchestrated. The game structure, while simple and aimed at a wide audience, is excellently implemented. The marriage between Mojang and Blackbird Interactive worked brilliantly, showcasing the talents of both teams once again. The Otherworld awaits.

Dredge is an extremely fascinating game that has its foundations in simple but addictive ludics and eerie, distressing imagery.

Road 96: Mile 0 is an engaging and narratively excellent video game. A political video game that knows how to talk about it in a direct and not at all obvious way, taking only the best from such an important topic.

MLB The Show 23 does not diverge much in its key mechanics from the previous chapter, but then again, the state of the game was already in very good shape even in previous years.

Have a Nice Death is a title with an extremely solid art compartment: the cartoon style will convince you from the first moment, while the jazz-tinged soundtrack will keep you company throughout the adventure. Although the combat mechanics are well thought out and allow the player to approach opponents in different ways, the roguelike element is lost a bit due to a wrong balance between skill and story progression at each run.

Tchia is an exciting, engaging and touching video game. Strong with a story capable of moving, Awaceb's work is astonishing.

Mato Anomalies features different genres and does not always succeed in making them a worthwhile addition. First of all, it is a good visual novel, with a story that is a bit confusing at times, but interesting enough to intrigue you and make you want to delve deeper into its diverse cast of characters.

Resident Evil 4 is simply an excellent sequel, a clever remake and a splendid third-person action, easily enjoyed without knowing anything about the rest of the series.

Atomic Heart is a good game. It is not the miracle that was expected in 2017, when the first images of Mundfish's uchrony went around the world, promising interaction that is far from the truth today. The title, however, is solid, with an engaging (but already seen) storyline, a dense setting (that could have given more), and a broken combat system. On the whole, Atomic Heart will not revolutionize the action RPG genre, but I am convinced that it will make its way into the "must have" list of all fans. Then again, it is not always mandatory to change the world, but the important thing is that there is quality, and this is not lacking in Atomic Heart.

Company of Heroes 3 is a triumph, the worthy sequel to one of the most appreciated sagas of real-time strategists, as well as a great gift to the community. Disruptive gameplay, enriched for the occasion by many appreciated new features and improvements of sorts, blends together with a spectacle on the visual level, giving us back warlike confrontations as never seen before. In short, Relic has definitely hit the mark and raised the qualitative bar once again.

Did Like a Dragon Isshin, therefore, have the charisma needed to put itself forward in a new market? The process of rejuvenation and restructuring conducted by SEGA was directed at tailoring a product to the level of expectations.

Wild Hearts is a well-crafted, fun and very promising title in the long run, accomplice also and above all to EA and Omega Force's already manifested willingness to offer their hunting game a post-launch support worthy of the name.

Horizon Call of the Mountain is the first major PlayStation VR2 exclusive, a game that respects the technical/graphic premise of the Horizon series very well, certifying what is undoubtedly the most visually beautiful video game ever seen on virtual reality. Beyond that, Firesprite and Guerrilla's game is a classic VR title, rather linear and not a surprising gameplay. Undoubtedly an excellent product that works, entertains and expands the Horizon universe, as well as an excellent base for the PS VR2.

Metroid Prime Remastered is simply the new benchmark on how a remastered should be done. Graphical compartment redone from scratch, an optimization capable of delivering unthinkable performance on Nintendo Switch, and a full-bodied set of quality-of-life improvements are just a splendid adornment to a first-person adventure (don't call it an FPS if you don't get mad) that hasn't aged a day in the last two decades. A more than recommended purchase if you love the genre, both for those who have never known the series and for those who are just waiting to hear when the long-awaited fourth installment will arrive.

Initially Wanted: Dead seems to pull it off, when one still appreciates its pleasurable imagery and is becoming familiar with its gameplay layout. It takes very little, however, for big and small wrinkles to come up, again and again, making the experience unsatisfying, frustrating, repetitive. Something is saved, of Soleil's game, but absolutely not enough to make it even vaguely enjoyable.

Hi-Fi Rush has proven to be a fun title with extremely satisfying gameplay. It seems almost absurd that a team like Tango Gameworks has managed to package such an experience, but when you look at the historian of legendary producer Shinji Mikami, everything makes sense. Hi-Fi Rush inherits that naïve spirit, totally devoted to fun and gameplay, typical of productions such as Viewtiful Joe and God Hand, of that Clover Studio that was a new home for Mikami and Kamiya after the abandonment of Capcom. Director John Johanas has succeeded in the feat, demonstrating a captivating and well-packaged vision.

Dead Space is an authentic remake, revised and improved in every way from what we had come to love and appreciate back in 2008. EA Motive has not only lavishly improved the entire technical aspect of the original product, but has further enhanced the entire experience, making the Ishimura a frightening death trap, capable of terrorizing and concealing a story that is still fascinating today.
