The Xbox Series X/S version of Baldur's Gate 3 once again confirms the extreme skill of Larian Studios. The porting to Microsoft home consoles was a perfect success, also allowing Xbox players to get their hands on GOTY 2023. Obviously we hope that the save bug will be resolved as soon as possible. A problem which, as mentioned, does not directly depend on the work carried out by the Belgian team.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is more than just a reimagining of the previous title. The game not only manages to appeal to the competitive audience by introducing rollback netcode and allowing crossplay between all systems, but it captivates casual players by introducing its world and new mechanics through its fun minigames. Although the first title fell short of expectations due to its release period and lack of essential modern components, we believe that Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising will succeed in bringing a new audience to its fantasy world.

While playing A Highland Song we were immediately captivated by its graphic style. The hand-painted Scottish countryside enticed us to travel the moors and hills together with Moira. The hidden objects and stories surrounding these landscapes encourage deeper exploration. The system of finding maps and the points indicated on them is an interesting diversification and an ingenious idea to give our journey a destination. The accompanying music fits in with its calm gameplay, while the rhythm game elements could have been better realised, perhaps by aiming for a different difficulty threshold: two-button combinations are not enough, and in the end A Highland Song is too easy. The plot is simple but clear, and the stories of Moira and her uncle that accompany the game perfectly complement the story. The voice acting is excellent, and we enjoyed the Scottish accent of the main characters. It's just a shame that there is no Italian translation available, which does not make A Highland Song easy to enjoy for those unfamiliar with English. A Highland Song deserves players' attention. The market needs games of this kind: simple, with a good story and attractive, stylish graphics.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a title that has a lot to offer in terms of customisation and exploration of the world composed of the most iconic characters from Disney and Pixar films. Although some quests can be repetitive, the game manages to offer many hours of entertainment and relaxation within a magical world.

God of War Ragnarok Valhalla is therefore a content lovingly conceived by the developers for all fans of the saga, capable of reawakening every memory created in the company of the most famous Spartan in the world of video games, as well as representing the perfect closure to a majestic, fascinating and well-crafted chapter, which is now seen to be settling the proverbial cherry on top.

Fearmonium had all the credentials to deal with such a sensitive topic as phobia and depression in a sharp and interesting manner. Unfortunately, the reality of the facts is quite different, and it proposes an imprecise and botched title, which sees in its artistic compartment its only lifeline.

After 10 years, Rogue Legacy returns with a sequel that adds even more variety and fun. Rogue Legacy 2 ranks as one of the most original and worthwhile roguelites, thanks to a formula that has been refined and made excellent.

Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen is a short and concise expansion that offers respectable new fights. If you loved the original game and its combat system, we recommend it without hesitation, even if it doesn't offer much in the way of plot and new abilities. The feeling is that the best is yet to come with The Rising Tide, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.

The Invincible is a video game that will delight lovers of science fiction and narrative adventures, offering a gaming experience rich in emotions and moments of reflection. The title is a homage to Lem's novel, but also an original and innovative work that tests our humanity in a retro-futuristic sci-fi context.

Super Mario RPG is a perfect remake that certainly shows how much the original Legend of the Seven Stars had its (reasoned) naivety. At the same time, it is a sweet, enjoyable adventure. The most appropriate calling card for those who want to approach RPGs, today as in 1995: the world of Mario is so iconic that it's hard not to be enraptured by the title

Ghostrunner 2 is a game that refines the structure of the first chapter without going much further. Once again, we are faced with a system that makes trial and error its main mechanic, something that might turn some players' noses up. Compared to its predecessor, the motorbike sections breathe new life into the game and the narrative becomes more central, although it is not the main reason why you will want to buy the game. Those who loved the first chapter will immediately feel at home, while newcomers may find Ghostrunner 2 a challenging title that represents a total improvement on what they saw with the first chapter. In short, you can't change a winning team!

Howl is a simple but efficient turn-based tactical game. It is not particularly long-lived, but gives the possibility of a good handful of games without getting bored. The mechanics are immediate and fun, suitable for everyone thanks to an ‘assisted’ mode that helps with reasoning. A successful indie title, able to entertain in downtime while keeping the mind in training.

Haus adds almost nothing more than what was seen in Dead Island 2. The purchase is therefore only recommended for fans of the brand and those who want to invest a few extra hours in the company of friends.

In Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections CyberConnect2 used all its experience to create the ultimate game dedicated to Naruto and companions. The goal was only partially achieved due to a barely hinted at story mode, a limited number of modes and gameplay that for many could be far too simplistic. Nonetheless, the presence of a huge roster, an intriguing and entertaining new story and an established use of cell shading make Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections a title that all fans of the series and the manga should have on their shelves.

KarmaZoo is a game that requires kindness, cooperation and selflessness to perform at its best. While you won't learn these things from every player you meet online in this game, finding the right team in KarmaZoo can be as crazy as it is fun. With a few tweaks to its teamwork mechanics, KarmaZoo can certainly achieve salvation from samsara, but for the time being there are still a few too many problems.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 does not live up to its predecessor, which in turn did not live up to MW 2019. The trend has been steeply downhill for years now, and this title is emblematic of that: beautiful and fun to play, unsuitable for an outlay of a good €80. Is this DLC masquerading as a new chapter? Yes, without a doubt: the massive recycling of content and a single player campaign probably made in a couple of days are proof of that. Luckily, MW3 has a very solid PvP on its side... but will it be enough to convince players to spend a very large - and above all unjustified - amount of money on this title again this year?

Like a Dragon Gaiden is an excellent interlude in the Kiryu saga, taking us from the sixth chapter to the upcoming eighth, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. A great option for fans who miss the Yakuza series in its classic beat'em-up formula.

Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn is a DLC that comes two years after the release of the main game and adds nothing to the experience in terms of gameplay. On the contrary, by almost completely wiping out the player's progress in the main story, it nullifies what was done before. However, when viewed as a stand-alone piece of content dedicated exclusively to Tales of Arise fans, Beyond the Dawn is the perfect opportunity to return to the twin worlds and reunite with some much-loved and well-written characters: an embrace that takes advantage of the nostalgia effect and gives us the opportunity to travel a little longer with Alphen, Shionne and the others. A winning team does not change... but we would have expected more.

Despite its fascinating setting, Achilles: Legends Untold has obvious flaws in the technical, artistic and gameplay aspects. Although the title reserves more than a few entertaining moments, repetitive combat mechanics and a lack of detail in some areas prevent the game from reaching its full potential.
