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.

The Last Faith is a demonstration of love for FromSoftware titles and columns belonging to the metroidvania genre. The good chemistry that characterises the project created by Kumi Souls Games entertains and is appreciated, especially for the excellent graphic rendering of characters and environments. It is a pity about a few smears in the gameplay, which do not allow it to reach even higher peaks.

Persona 5 Tactica won't quench the JRPG cravings of those waiting for news about Persona 6 or Metaphor: ReFantazio, but it could well be one of the best spin-offs Persona 5 has given us. Although it doesn't aim to revolutionise tactical games or even reinvent the wheel, the way it exploits the strengths of the Persona universe, the very appealing gameplay, its sympathetic graphics and the charisma of the characters gave us some very positive moments. Too bad for a decidedly weak and underwhelming narrative pretext compared to the high standards to which the saga has accustomed us.

My Time at Sandrock stands on the same level of honour as its predecessor, bringing with it new and refined features that further enrich the game universe. With a compelling mix of building, exploration and social relationships, the game offers an excellent source of entertainment for fans of the genre.

WarioWare: Move It! is the further crystallisation of a series that makes fun and immediacy its beating heart. The madness and numerous micro-games within the adventure of Wario and co. succeed in making anyone spend dozens and dozens of carefree hours. Should you have someone with whom you can take on the wacky challenges created by Intelligent Systems, WarioWare: Move It! is undoubtedly a must buy for Nintendo Switch.

EA Sports WRC is a title that brings the world's premier rally competition back to the place it deserves in the world of video games. It is a game reminiscent of the gameplay of the Dirt saga, but adding more realism to the behaviour of the cars, so that purists will have a title in line with what they are looking for, without sacrificing those who prefer a more balanced (and also much more arcade-like) experience. Sure, EA Sports WRC doesn't have graphics as stunning as some of Codemasters' other titles, but the gameplay is a lot of fun and the Moments mode, which revisits great situations from WRC's past, is what users have long wanted in titles of this type.

Lords of the Fallen is an imperfect title, with numerous aspects that could have rendered it better, but it is still one of the most interesting soulslike games around. Some of the innovations introduced in this title make for a first run with great interest and, were it not for the technical problems, Lords of the Fallen could have aimed even higher.

Jusant is a poetic and inspired title: on this lonely journey, our task is to keep climbing to reach the clouds, in the hope of finding a remedy for the drought. DON'T NOD proves once again that it has a way with music and atmosphere. There is no shortage of ideas, but this puzzle game, while original, does not quite meet its challenge due to a sometimes wooden gameplay, a less than excellent technical compartment and a storyline that runs out all too soon.

The Talos Principle 2 takes Croteam's series to new horizons, both in terms of puzzles and the narrative and philosophical questions it proposes to players. The team led by Mario Kotlar and Verena Kyratzes has been able to outdo themselves, and has given us a title that goes beyond the very concept of a game. Love it, and don't deprive yourself of it.

FM24 is the usual, very solid chapter in the world's most famous and successful managerial series. This new chapter, more a 2.0 version of the previous title in truth, retains all the elements that make the managerial experience great: if you're a football fan and can't wait to put yourself to the test, here's the ideal game, again.
