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.

Was this new collection really needed? That's what we all wondered a little bit at the time of the announcement, and the answer could have been in Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics' search for a second chance for the most forgotten Tomb Raider games, including the very bad The Angel of Darkness. The work done by the now experienced remastered team is good, especially on the already good The Last Revelation and Chronicles, but at the same time all three games still show their inferiority to their predecessors. In addition, as much as it has been polished as much as possible, The Angel of Darkness proves to be a title riddled with difficulties and naivety, which not even Aspyr has managed to save.

Rift of the Necrodancer is the latest rhythm game from Brace Yourself Games, and it sees the return of the friendly Cadence. This time we are not faced with a series of procedurally generated dungeons, but the gameplay is reminiscent of Guitar Hero, but with some interesting variations. The difficulty is set high, but don't let that scare you: with a little practice, you too will be ready to emerge victorious from the Necrodancer's gates!

Avowed is an RPG through and through, demonstrating Obsidian's extreme experience in making games of this genre. The title further expands some of the issues already explored in Pillars of Eternity. This is thanks to a deep and well-written story that we can influence directly by taking full advantage of the dialogue system with other NPCs. The gameplay itself is of good workmanship, even if there are elements that make some mechanics woody. In spite of everything, the character progression system is well balanced and the graphic technical compartment is really thick, except for some minor problems. Probably, the choice to create a more contained world divided into game areas proved successful.

Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator is a game with good intentions, but with several issues that limit its overall enjoyment. The attention to medical details is admirable and the simulation elements are well realised for those who are fans of the genre. However, a complex interface and lacklustre driving prevent the title from being one of the best simulator experiences around, relegating it as a product exclusively for fans of the genre and scope.

The strength of Keep Driving is its ability to evoke emotions and memories in the player. The game's atmosphere is imbued with a gentle melancholy and an exhilarating sense of freedom. The pixel art landscapes, random encounters and carefully chosen soundtrack contribute to a unique atmosphere that is both nostalgic and distinctly modern. Keep Driving manages to capture the very essence of travelling, with its moments of contemplative solitude and memorable encounters. The game does not try to dazzle with spectacular effects or sensational twists. On the contrary, it draws its strength from the simplicity and authenticity of its message. It is a tribute to those ordinary moments in life that, taken together, constitute an extraordinary adventure. Get ready to hit the road, meet unforgettable people and experience unique adventures. Keep Driving awaits you for a journey from which you will never want to return. So, are you ready to turn the key and step on the accelerator in this custom-built car?

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a spectacular sequel to the adventures of Peter Parker and Miles Morales, but it also turned out to be the most problematic porting of the Nixxes. A situation that would probably have been avoided if the Dutch developers had been given a longer period to work on the conversion, but which they are solving with the patches released these days.

While Waiting is not a boring game, as some might think: waiting for the little and big things along life's journey, one laughs and is even moved, but the important thing is always to be quick in solving puzzles and mini-games, thus obtaining all the achievements required by the 100 levels that make up the title. Too bad about the wooden controls and the general static nature of the whole thing, which make the experience not very dynamic and repetitive at times (it is inevitable to proceed by trial and error). A nice puzzle game without too many pretensions.

Red Solstice 2: Survivors Ultimate Edition is a content-rich package that unfortunately carries with it the problems of the past. The great underlying repetitiveness and the lack of clarity of the mechanics, combined with a really skimpy tactical compartment and a not-so-memorable storyline, lead the Ironward title to be recommended only and exclusively to those who can play together with a group of friends, an experience that gives a better and new light to the overall interaction.
