We are not talking about a perfect title, but we must recognize Ubisoft's commitment to a game world that leaves room for freedom of activity and exploration, which aims for long-term replayability, thanks also to the updates expected to arrive shortly . In summary, the product is valid and brings good potential into play.

With Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft we received a fantastic remaster that impressed us. It clearly demonstrates that old classics can shine even today, after 28 years. Lara Croft's "new" adventure is simply fantastic. However, it must be kept in mind that these are still old school games, so we must say that there will be no shortage of trial and error sessions, especially when precise jumps are required. Apart from this and a few bugs, it is a workmanlike remaster, and we hope that other software houses will follow this example. Aspyr's product is truly successful.

Helldivers 2 is a product that entertains, involves and encourages teamwork as has rarely been seen in the videogame scene. The mechanics currently presented can easily give it the award for best Live Service released so far, but as we well know, time will be the true judge. Nonetheless, considering the affordable price and the fluid gameplay system, Helldivers 2 certainly deserves a chance for all PS5 and PC owners.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden marks the full evolution of Don't Nod. Thanks to the appreciable alchemy between the narrative component and the gameplay, the new effort from the transalpine house is engaging and exciting. Although the world map is not particularly incisive and some technical issues are slightly revisable, the path taken by the French guys is undoubtedly the right one.

Characterized by a unique graphic sector, Ultros is a metroidvania that dares a lot, both artistically and in terms of gameplay. Maybe even too much, in some circumstances. However, if you are nostalgic for games like Metroid Fusion, dive into the dreamlike atmosphere of Sarcophagus as soon as possible.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is a solid, fun, fast Action RPG, which in our opinion should be talked about more. Despite not being part of the most famous sagas of the genre, the Cygames title can easily lead the way among the competition thanks to a highly respectable artistic sector and a gameplay that manages to entertain, even for several hours after the conclusion of the main quest. With many unlockable characters, each with their own fighting style, and an epic and exhilarating (albeit stereotyped) plot, Granblue Fantasy is a highly recommended title for lovers of the genre. Originality is not always a must, sometimes it is nice to return to familiar stylistic features that work in their simplicity.

Persona 3 Reload is the best way to get started with Atlus' JRPG series. Its mysterious story with the improvements of the following chapters is a great recipe for this remake. And it's not far from perfection. Unfortunately, Tartarus is still empty and the developers did not have the temptation to add the additional content already present in past re-releases. However, the excellent new aesthetics, improved gameplay and Italian translation are factors that make Persona 3 Reload an unmissable purchase for JRPG fans.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a game that does everything it can to be fun. Really, everything: there are always missions to complete, enemies to eliminate, the gameplay is quite satisfying even if enormously chaotic, the weapons are as crazy as the protagonists, and the story is well written (until a few moments before the finale) . The problem is the very nature of the project, born at a time when this genre was being born and published at a time when this genre has already demonstrated its enormous limits. Rocksteady's Metropolis, then, doesn't have even a shred of the magnificence of Gotham City, and the endgame fails to make an impact, not even on the settings. We'll see what the future holds for us, but the impression is that Suicide Squad will be remembered as something that tried to cherish dreams of glory, and that it won't succeed. The real Rocksteady, let's be clear, is not this.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the fantastic sequel to the excellent Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Ichiban's new adventure will make you have fun, but also shed just as many tears: we will witness Kiryu's swan song, in what will in effect be a handover. We are talking about an extremely long-lasting game, full of twists and turns and full of well-curated secondary activities. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is already one of the best games in the saga.

Tekken 8 is packed with modes, story, and customizable options that should allow players of all skill levels to have fun. Battles against veteran players in the multiple online modes will likely be a punishing experience for new players. However, the latest installment offers the franchise's best tools for mastering each of the 32 playable characters. Despite being more accessible than ever, Tekken 8 is challenging to master and continues to establish itself as one of the most complex and rewarding fighting games in video games.

We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip is a pleasant experience which, despite its duration, allows you to spend a couple of hours carefree with a friend. If you have a partner with whom you get along, don't think twice and invest the few Euros needed to literally embark on this adventure; you might enjoy it.

We can finally applaud the fact that the entire Ace Attorney series is now available on modern platforms, with the exception of Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney and Miles Edgeworth Investigations games. And for €49.99 new players really get incredible value for money. Unfortunately, historical fans of the series only receive small bonuses, which at the moment do not justify a new purchase. Let's hope that Capcom redeems itself soon with a new chapter, since this trilogy, despite over 80 hours of content, leaves us eager to take on the role of our favorite investigative lawyer again!

Computer Repair Shop can be found on Steam at the price of €9.75, a low cost and suitable for the game which is smooth and playable without too much effort and which, despite not the best optimization, gives us a few hours of entertainment.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is one of the most graphically impressive games released recently: the dynamism of the world and its details really manage to impress. The plot may not be great, but the main quest missions feature a lot of variety, and this makes the game engaging for hours. If you have a little patience in having fun finding places and characters without a well-functioning navigation system, it's definitely worth it.

The prince has been kidnapped. To save him, Sargon will have to conquer the Powers of Time and learn to combine them with his own warrior skills. The greatest strength of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown lies precisely in this mix. Ubisoft Montpellier's metroidvania is based on an intricate and exciting map, as well as offering the player a combat system that combines parry, magic and typically hack 'n' slash mechanics. The result is an unoriginal game, which doesn't stand out artistically speaking, but which certainly manages to entertain. Highly recommended for metroidvania lovers who are waiting for Silksong.

Despite the shortcomings highlighted, Farsiders shows potential that could see its positive realization through future updates and patches. Continued efforts by Ghost Gambit, the Thai developer team, could improve the combat system, resolve pacing issues and offer broader customization options, thus helping to transform the game into a more complete and satisfying experience for the players.

The Last of Us: Part 2 Remastered is an essential piece to add to your PlayStation collection, especially if you've never had the chance to play the 2020 title. The re-release shines thanks to the power of the PS5 and the improvements made with the more performing hardware, also offering a series of tasty extras: the roguelike No Return mode is the real gem, proving fun and well structured even without offering new mechanics compared to the single player experience. Unlike the remake Part 1, where the launch price was understandably criticized, we also believe that the choice to offer an upgrade for €10 is an acceptable requirement given the work done.

A little thought, at the end of the review. The person writing this review is not only a video game enthusiast, but is somehow involved with Bluethroot himself, as a teacher in a lower secondary school. The impact that Bluethroot can have on a student is potentially very significant, both for the topics that are covered and for the way in which they are treated. However, it is also necessary to remember that we are talking about very delicate topics, on which the eye of a more expert person cannot be omitted. The experience must necessarily be taken with caution, while exploiting the idea of interactive entertainment which tends to mitigate the heaviness of the atmospheres and problems that afflict the characters. Precisely for this reason we recommend using Bluethroot to a group of students for whom awareness becomes an important part of their life, probably not limited to high school but also to the transition phase with them. In any case, if you are a teacher or expert, we highly recommend trying Bluethroot before reaching a final decision.

It's a real shame that Bramble: The Mountain King suffers from such limiting game design issues, as they compromise the narrative of its dark and disturbing tale. On the gameplay side it doesn't do much to stand out from the crowd, but the atmosphere that supports it saves it from being a total disappointment.
