Cronos: The New Dawn is the work that marks Bloober Team's true evolutionary leap. Despite obvious inspirations from pioneering titles in the genre, the Polish company's new IP manages to engage and offer original mechanics, including the ingenious union of enemies. Leaving aside a few animations that are not yet up to scratch and checkpoint management that could be improved, we feel compelled to reward the guys from Krakow and can't wait to see what they have in store for us in the future.

Lost Soul Aside is more of a hack “n” slash than a Final Fantasy-inspired RPG. The story and characters are forgettable, but the journey offers some nice glimpses of the settings and impressive boss fights. Everything is based on combat, even if the gameplay fails to be as fast-paced and varied as we would have liked. Generally unpolished and lacking in personality, we recommend it only to super fans of button smashing and fantasy-themed fighting games.

Hell is Us is a game that refuses to compromise: in terms of narrative, imagery, and even gameplay. Exploration is not just an end in itself, but becomes an allegory for Remi's search within his own soul and his origins, hidden by an enigma. We are aware that Hell is Us is not an experience suitable for everyone: of course, we enjoyed it very much, both in its investigation and combat phases, but some prefer to find more immediate content and easy gratification in a video game. However, sometimes experimentation is necessary to discover more about ourselves and the world around us.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is more than just a reboot: it is a tribute to the old titles in the series, but with a noteworthy evolution. For long-time fans, this is an opportunity to experience a new adventure in the company of Joe Musashi. For new players, on the other hand, it is an unmissable opportunity to discover why this series is so beloved. We are undoubtedly looking at one of the best 2D action games of the year.

Gears of War: Reloaded is a solid remaster of the already excellent remaster of the already excellent first and historic chapter of the series, which in this case has done the bare minimum - perhaps even less than the bare minimum. Perhaps there was no need for anything else, in fact, given the price at which it is offered, but in some respects the game shows its age, almost 20 years since its debut. It remains a monumental game, but one whose genre has already made great strides forward.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is a passionate tribute to Hideo Kojima's 2004 masterpiece. This new edition introduces several updates, especially in terms of graphics and controls. On the other hand, Konami's new work is faithful to the original to a fault, foregoing gameplay innovations that would have given players more freedom and immersion.

Mind Over Magnet is an indie puzzle game based on magnetism. It's a simple yet ingenious idea that has allowed the creators to develop well-designed levels with a medium-high level of difficulty. Despite its short duration, puzzle lovers should definitely give this title a try thanks to its interesting and innovative game design.

Echoes of the End is a title that thrives on contrasts: ambitious but imperfect, technically uncertain but artistically inspired, linear but enriched by interesting mechanics. It's the classic game that not everyone will appreciate: those looking for a bug-free experience with every detail polished to perfection may find it frustrating, while those willing to forgive a few flaws in exchange for atmosphere and personality will find it a noteworthy experience.

Heretic + Hexen is a beautiful collection. Both titles have been updated with modern controls, bonus content, and thoughtful changes to the core design that significantly improve and modernise the gameplay experience. It's worth remembering, however, that we're talking about FPS games from the 1990s, with all the elements and limitations of that era; consider this carefully before purchasing. In any case, these remain two great cult classics that have been restored.

Mafia: The Old Country aims to take Hangar 13's work back to its roots, both in terms of the anthropological and historical origins of the criminal organisation and those of the video game franchise. The work done is commendable: we were captivated by a story and characters that were very well written. But what fascinated us even more was the historically accurate rendering of the setting and the passion with which the American developers committed themselves to conveying a period so full of colour, but also of shadows. Of course, we would have liked to lose ourselves even more deeply in this beautifully painted world, but Mafia: The Old Country does not want to lose its way and wants to accomplish its mission in the best possible way.

Compared to the first chapter, The Hinokami Chronicles 2 brings a significant leap forward to our screens and a total approach to the Demon Slayer anime, complete with breathtaking scenes, battles and animations, bringing us up to speed and preparing us for the final narrative arc, which promises great twists and turns.

The technical evolution of Hellblade 2 has been a success. Ninja Theory has managed to craft a revamped and refined version of last year's already impressive title. While there are obviously still divisive factors regarding the concept and gameplay devised by the British studio, Senua's adventure is worth experiencing for anyone looking for a short but intense experience, now more than ever.

Artis Impact is a deeply moving adventure, the result of a labour of love that shows how much a single developer can tell us about the world. The journey with Akane and Bot is sure to draw you into what will be a short but intense adventure.

Bungie, give us a sign. On the one hand, Boundary of Destiny manages to renew enthusiasm for a boundless narrative universe that still has a lot to say. On the other hand, the design and gameplay choices are ineffective: from these two points of view, it is one of the worst expansions in the entire history of the franchise. If the future of Destiny 2 starts here, it's not a great start.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is an exceptional experience in its own right. Smooth controls, fantastic level design and perfectly balanced boss battles make it one of the best 2D action platformers you'll find. The title offers plenty of fun and challenges for those who want them, while remaining accessible to newcomers.

The creators of KIDS and Plug & Play are back with one of their most ambitious projects to date. Playables succeeds, both technically and artistically, in creating a well-made video game that appeals to everyone, from those who love speedrun-style challenges to those who just want to relax and enjoy the graphics and sound. The video game carries on the adventure in a very enjoyable way, without the help of any dialogue or cutscenes, but only thanks to the gameplay. It is undoubtedly a successful title that never gets boring, while still maintaining the quality standards of the indie scene. We just wish it had lasted a little longer.

SOMA proves itself to be a gem in terms of portability too. Frictional's adventure, curated by Abylight, shines in all its depth on Nintendo Switch, giving all owners of the Japanese hybrid console the chance to enjoy an intense, fluid and immersive experience.

Killing Floor 3 is a smooth and immediate cooperative shooter, but too basic to be fully convincing. As it stands, the production lacks content, variety and depth. Survival mode is fun and well polished, but it's also the only thing the game has to offer, and after a few hours you start to feel the repetitiveness. The overall feeling is that of a project still in progress.

We loved Super Mario Party Jamboree when it was released on Nintendo Switch, and this relaunch for Switch 2, complete with new content, makes it even better and more fun. It's a truly enormous game, offering an unmissable experience for anyone looking to organise a few evenings with friends.

Donkey Kong is back, and he's back with a truly unique adventure. Nintendo EPD has created a game with innovative mechanics and enormous potential, which it doesn't always manage to express. The digging mechanic, for example, could have been handled in a more interesting way, especially when it comes to solving puzzles, something that Odyssey, with Cappy, did very well. Apart from this and a few minor technical hiccups, however, it's a great game to accompany the launch of Switch 2.
