Square Enix and Luminous Production's attempt to create a new IP by combining various unusual elements and different cultural approaches is certainly appreciable, but there are several slightings that make Forspoken only half a successful title.

Fire Emblem Engage is, first and foremost, an excellent turn-based strategy that succeeds in the complex task of limiting many of the elements that weighed down the gameplay of the previous chapter to offer battles that put the player's reasoning at the center of the action.

One Piece Odyssey is a rather classic JRPG, but one that manages to have a say with a fun and dynamic combat system.

Chained Echoes is a JRPG that captivates thanks to a centered and smooth narrative. The story told, classic but nonetheless engaging, impresses especially because of its protagonists. If nothing else, it is amazing how one person managed to come up with such a work, succeeding in the complex attempt to get to the goal and surprise. A unique way to bring nostalgics and newcomers alike closer to a genre that is always fascinating.

High On Life is quirky and self-consciously absurd as a video game. Its comedy is the most divisive aspect, and if you love the style of Rick and Morty then you will find gags, Easter egg and situations that will make you crack up with laughter, but otherwise in the long run it may be all too irritating and repetitive.

Warhammer 40,000 Darktide is still not the production that miniatures game enthusiasts and Vermintide lovers were expecting. In what is the core of the gameplay experience, the slaughter of hordes of enemies, it works just fine, and diving into that riot of death leads to a macabre ecstasy. Lacking, however, is an adequate structure to support the ludics: too slender progression, poor variety of missions, questionable solutions implemented in the two stores.

Need For Speed Unbound is undoubtedly a good game, but it is sad to note that it could have been more. Criterion relies, perhaps a bit lazily, on the seeded Ghost Games, rehashing what is the skeleton (and little more) of the previous Heat. After 3 years of development, the result is almost inexplicable, and indeed it is unfortunate that a team like Criterion, which has rewritten the rules of the game at least a couple of times, now finds itself in the position of tracing the work of those who preceded it (as well as rehashing part of its past).

Master of Magic is back in a big way for the occasion after many, many years. Its unmistakable style, made great by the approach of MuHa Games and Slitherine Software, brings it back to 2022 in a more polished and improved version. The gameplay, which has remained virtually unchanged, is the real highlight of the work, in addition to an absolutely off-the-charts context, the child of excellent management of the production's lore. The magic is back. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Signalis is a one-of-a-kind work. Uniquely curated and thorough, it tells a moving and detailed story that easily seeps into the player's skin and soul. The puzzles, never complex, are carefully implemented, prompting the player to think carefully about his moves. It is certainly nothing new on the market, but it is a work that faithfully reflects the past, projecting into a future to be discovered.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion is a masterful remaster of a little more than adequate game. Not a bad game, in fact it is still a decent action RPG that will keep you entertained for about 20-30 hours of play. However, in terms of substance and narrative responsibility it leaves much to be desired.

Considering that it is the first work by Striking Distance Studios, the level reached by The Callisto Protocol is certainly very high. We are looking at one of the best audio-visual experiences of this generation, surrounded by gameplay that is anything but trivial and a truly noteworthy atmosphere.

Marvel's Midnight Suns is not a perfect game, but an absolutely addictive work that captures the player in its coils hour after hour.

With Just Dance 2023 Edition Ubisoft once again demonstrates all its love for the rhythmic franchise, bringing a version with sharp improvements on all fronts, making the title more complex, engaging and fun.

Evil West is a little more than adequate video game that uses virtually nothing of its (good) premise to stand out or stand out from the welter of competitors of which the market is full. The strong point, namely the audience's fascination with the Wild West, is not deepened, except with clichés and clichés that are largely outdated

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will, undoubtedly, be the most talked-about, and divisive, titles in the series for several years now. The havoc, in technical terms, wrought by Game freak cannot be ignored, and the history of "transitional chapters" can no longer stand as a solid bulwark of defense against the developers.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare II offers exactly what was expected: no revolution and a few changes to further improve the multiplayer mode, which stands as the best in years thanks to its gunplay.

God of War Ragnarok is a massive and imposing title that, to a large extent, embraces and embraces the principle of 'bigger and better' that one would always hope for when facing a title that is a sequel to a title of the magnitude of its predecessor. The gameplay is an enhanced version of the 2018 chapter and has the merit of offering interesting variations for many, many hours to keep the player's attention.

Star Ocean The Divine Force is therefore at the end of the day a solid new entry in the saga, one that maintains its action jRPG soul thanks to gameplay that is both frenetic and tactical. A title that would certainly have benefited a lot from a bigger budget, see for example for a graphic technical aspect that is not up to the mark, but that nevertheless manages to entertain and give everything one could have expected. In short, if you love the genre and the series, don't underestimate it.

Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is a well-crafted, but too shallow blend of genres. While the 3D combat is realistic and immersive, the strategic aspects of the title lack detail, making the campaign monotonous and leading the player to repeat the same actions almost mechanically. You will have hours of fun if you like to take part in first-person shoot-outs, otherwise you might get bored quickly. In any case, I recommend playing the title in the PC version and not on consoles.

Gunfire Reborn is a loot and shooter FPS with roguelite elements that is inspired, enjoyable, convincing and exciting. In addition to offering hours and hours of fun, it features an essential yet excellently implemented game design that entertains thanks to a dynamic, fluid gunplay that never loses its punch even after fifteen hours of play. Despite a few technical stumbling blocks, it is a video game that presents itself on consoles in top form.
