The Last of Us Part II is a near-perfect porting, hopefully setting a new standard for PlayStation games on PC. Naughty Dog's own work still manages to hold one's breath with its narrative and the excellent characterisation of all its characters.

Atomfall is a not inconsiderable change of pace from Rebellion. The English software has chosen to be daring, to step out of its comfort zone to offer a first-person survival experience that, while not excelling in the various compartments, manages to entertain thanks to an engaging approach to the plot and gameplay without too much complexity.

South of Midnight is a third-person action adventure that is rather restrained but has all the credentials to make its mark among titles in the genre. In fact, the structure built by Compulsion Games is valid and enjoyable to play. Much importance has been given to plot and setting, inspired by South American folklore. To succeed in this intent, the Canadian team has decided to create rather linear and circumscribed maps, setting up a functional but not too complex gameplay. In short, the idea is that Compulsion Games has decided to stay in its comfort zone without daring too much. A choice that, sincerely, we appreciated considering that a wide and structured game is not always synonymous with success. Better little but done well.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Remastered is an operation that brings back one of the classic platformers of a bygone era. This new version of Argonaut Games' work therefore deserves to be played by neophytes as well as nostalgics, who will find nothing more (extra menus aside) than what is crammed into their memories.

Koira is a title that deserves to be played by all those who seek a relaxing yet thought-provoking and emotional experience. Despite its apparent simplicity, Studio Tolima's production succeeds in the increasingly complex task of offering something new, something worth experiencing.

Atelier Yumia is a new beginning for the saga and introduces many new features, starting with a new atmosphere, a darker storyline and many small gameplay gems. The only pity is a technical compartment that struggles to keep up with the competition.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is an improved and enhanced version of one of the best-loved games in the saga. Despite a few minor flaws, concerning performance stability, the game offers an extraordinary experience in terms of exploration, combat and immersion in Mira's world. If the title on Wii U was already a colossal and ambitious work, this remaster on Nintendo Switch makes the game accessible to a new generation of players, with graphical improvements and a more stable performance.

Bleach Rebirth of Souls is absolutely worth it for fans of the anime and manga. Packed with fan service, you can spend hundreds of hours mastering your favourite characters thanks to the fun gameplay, with more content to come via DLC. Newbies can join in and have fun, and the story mode, while somewhat lacking, is well animated and offers rewards.

In Cataclysm, humanity is on the brink of extinction. The last survivors, barricaded in the fortress-city of Hogar, battle dark creatures as they desperately search for a powerful sorceress. Players take on the role of Iris, a young leader called upon to build defences, manage resources and face hordes of monsters in a hostile world. The game fuses RTS, tower defence and city builder, offering a deep building system and compelling gameplay. Survival and Skirmish modes ensure high replayability, enhanced by scenarios and projects shared via Steam Workshop. The evocative aesthetics and immersive soundtrack amplify the experience, making it engaging and suitable for fans of strategy and creativity. Although with some room for improvement, Cataclysm stands out as an innovative and challenging title, offering a deep tactical challenge to both veterans of the genre and players looking for a strategic experience full of possibilities.

If on the surface Wanderstop might appear as a deviation from Davey Wreden's metavideoludic musings, in reality under the guise of a cozy game lies an adventure that invites us to introspection and self-analysis of the rhythms we impose on ourselves during our daily lives. Making tea in Wanderstop is not an activity whose purpose is the accumulation of money or resources, but serves mainly to detach us from our unrealistic daily goals, and to enjoy a moment of relaxation. A discourse that would seem trivial, but which evidently is not so trivial, since we too often lose awareness of the beauty of small things.

Some seven years after its spiritual prequel, Monster Hunter Wilds sets a new standard for the genre, consolidating an exceptionally deep and rewarding play infrastructure.

Split Fiction is the perfect definition of love for video games. The creative spirit of Josef Fares and the Hazelight team sees in this new interaction a crystallisation that is bound to remain vivid in the minds of those who approach it. Despite the fact that some sections are more ‘naughty’ for those who are not into video games, the work published by EA Originals deserves to be started by any PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC owner.

WWE 2K25 improves on everything seen in the previous chapter. The gameplay is now smoother, adding mechanics that make fights more realistic and fun. The real strength of the game, however, is the monstrous amount of content and modes ensuring hundreds of hours of fun with friends and non-friends alike. The Island further enhances WWE's offerings, even if the microtransactions are just too overwhelming. In any case, WWE 2K25 achieves its goal: to entertain and amuse. A title that fans should definitely not miss.

RPG Maker With is a good conversion of the famous console RPG maker, with too many simplifications... and also too many difficulties. Even though you have already had a lot to do with RPG Maker, you will find yourself bewildered in many elements of the creation tool, trivially to join maps or create enemies and equipment. Little attention is paid to the accessibility of each user, unfortunately.

Despite some difficulties due to a stability that is not the best, we are satisfied with a collection that mixes nostalgia and a series of games that made history, along with a few more underwhelming titles that can still give something away.

The Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars collection not only allows us to dust off two revamped JRPG classics, but also breathes new hope into the Suikoden saga. We're delighted that Konami has brought new lustre to Murayama's work, and we hope that the PlayStation 2 chapters will also be converted in the future. And who knows, there might even be room for a Suikoden 6...

PGA Tour 2K25 is back, and it has done so in the best way possible. The HB Studios production has indeed managed to create an immersive and direct experience, delving into all the main mechanics of the golf world to the fullest. Suitable for both veterans and fans of the grass-based sport, the new Canadian effort is without doubt the best golf simulation on the market.

The second and concluding chapter of Henry's adventures is excellent in its historical reconstruction, deep and engaging, in a mammoth-sized title with great attention to detail.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is Don't Nod's new all-female graphic adventure, a ‘spiritual sequel’ to Life is Strange in atmosphere. In this first part, entitled ‘Tape 1: Bloom’, we discover how the friendship between four outsiders, the young Swann, Kat, Nora and Autumn, came about. What really happened in the summer of 1995? The title takes its time, giving us some juicy new clues only at the end of this first episode. Impossible to judge now, halfway through the adventure, we'll have to wait until 15 April to draw conclusions, but this first part has left us a little lukewarm: the more dynamic and realistic multiple-choice dialogues are a nice step forward, but will they be enough to make the title truly unforgettable? On the gameplay side there isn't much else, and even from a technical point of view the game has several smears. We'll have to see.

Sid Meier's Civilization VII brings a breath of fresh air, introducing many new features to its gameplay. We're not entirely convinced by the new leader and nation management, which we would have preferred to have been limited to custom games. In addition, there is still a lot of content missing, especially from the Modern Era.
