Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is proof that the creativity and production freedom of a winning company only increases that status. The Osaka-based company's latest endeavour is an innovative mixture of genres capable of enthralling and involving a large segment of the public, all the more so strategy and tactics enthusiasts, but also those who are not at all accustomed to these areas. Progression and difficulty are in fact calibrated to perfection, making the title a must-have, also given its affordable price.

Nobody Wants to Die is an adventure game that puts us in the whiskey-stained shoes of James Karra, a hard-boiled detective living in a dystopian future where nobody really dies. The Polish guys from Critical Hit have debuted with a bang, offering us an enthralling story that, when it allows us to play, also surprises us with some excellent gameplay solutions. We can only recommend that you delve into the technological and philosophical mysteries of Nobody Wants to Die!

Slash is a simple samurai fighting game capable of defeating opponents with a single blow. The battles are tense and exciting, but the disappointing single-player options are synonymous with a lack of depth. Visually pleasing, thanks to the brush drawing style graphics.

Drug Dealer Simulator 2 is a game that knows how to capture and hold the player's attention. With its graphical improvements, new game mechanics and strategic depth, it offers a unique and rewarding experience for those willing to explore the dark side of criminal life. If you are a fan of the genre or simply looking for a different gaming experience, ‘Drug Dealer Simulator 2’ is definitely a title not to be missed.

Anger Foot is a light-hearted game that recalls the gameplay and mood of Hotline Miami, but from a new and original perspective. Kicking thugs is a lot of fun, but our concerns remain about a soundtrack that is far too intrusive. A few performance issues also remain, for which we await corrective patches.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is a content-rich expansion, aesthetically beautiful and surprising in terms of the new features it offers in terms of settings, lore, NPCs, enemies, builds and equipment. Almost nothing is mandatory, as per tradition, yet it's a shame to leave anything behind. The level of challenge is obvious, designed for those gamers who enjoyed the base game, yet nothing is unfair or impossible if you use the tools available. There is no shame, no ‘cheat’ in exploiting one build rather than another: the important thing is to have fun and push your limits, in an adventure that is once again different for each Lightless, yet unites everyone. Travelling under the dark, dripping gold branches of the Tree of Shadow is a thrill not to be missed.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is all in all a good addition to Switch's 2024, which is now living on many memories. It's a shame, however, that the launch price is problematic in our opinion, given the few new features and especially other, even more substantial remastereds previously released on the hybrid console. Nintendo, you can do better!

If you are looking for a game that touches your sensibilities and at the same time makes you think about the major issues that plague our poor world, Endling: Extinction is Forever is what you are looking for. Dive into this colourful but melancholic world, experience a glimpse into the life of another living being, observe the constant change caused by man, expand your horizons and visions, enjoy the journey but above all reflect on tomorrow, because the present we live today is the tomorrow we will leave to those who will come after. Do we really want to bequeath a ruined world?

Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition is an authentic classic, remastered with love and care by an Ubisoft that this year, we must admit, is surprising us in a positive way. Despite an excellent job on the graphical and technical front, which has brought a game with 20 years of activity on its shoulders up to date, one incontrovertible fact remains: Beyond is still an extraordinary experience, a unique game that has never been attempted again, perhaps unrepeatable. While waiting for the sequel, don't miss this one. The very low, and ideal, price is a great ticket for a hovercraft ride in Hillys...

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeange finally lands on Playstation V, Xbox X|S and PC after its initial advent on Nintendo Switch, and does so with a remastered version that improves it in every single aspect. The changes made will allow even long-time players to find interesting elements in the title, including even an entirely new plot path.

A new leading exponent of metroidvanias and the indie scene, RedCandleGames' latest work fully convinces with its high but still challenging difficulty, engaging narrative and attention to detail by a mature team that seems capable of telling all kinds of stories.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a nice addition to Illfonic's asymmetrical horror PvP catalogue, adding some interesting mechanics by pushing players to co-operate and feel much more a part of the game at all times. On the other hand, content is scarce, and in a few hours the game has nothing really new to offer. Perhaps, the team will focus on an extensive post-launch support to enrich the content, but only time will tell.

Six years after its release, Octopath Traveler confirms itself as a must-have for all RPG fans, who now have no more excuses given its release on PlayStation. From each character's storyline to the dizzying art component, Square Enix's experience is a must-have for any gamer's library, especially if you're a fan of deep storylines and immersive worlds to explore.

A good 10 years have passed, through ups and downs, but the passion of Destiny's fans can never be extinguished. With an ending that also brings this chapter to a close, we remain only satisfied and impatient to know what the future holds.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road is the expansion celebrating the tenth anniversary of Zenimax's popular MMO. Sure, returning to Cyrodiil opened up a lot of memory drawers, almost like a portal to Oblivion. Unfortunately, however, we would have expected a little more in terms of content from this new chapter. It remains to be seen what will happen with the usual winter update.

Night Springs is content that fits perfectly with the universe created by Remedy and Alan Wake 2. All three episodes are characterised by deep and charismatic characters that, despite their short longevity, manage to leave a positive impression on the user, thanks also to the superb writing that the Finnish company has accustomed us to by now. Considering the budget price of the Deluxe Edition, we can do no other than recommend the package to all those who loved the latest adventure of the most famous writer in video games.

F1 24 is another excellent update to the Codemasters franchise. It's not the most exciting update of all time, as it lacks the major changes, but the changes made work well and give old and new players alike something substantial to enjoy. It may not be a necessary purchase for those who have already owned a game from the last two years, but Codemasters once again proves its ability to create the best racing games on the market.

Paper Mario and the Thousand-Year Portal is just what we needed: a fine remake that brings back one of the best games of Mario's RPG drift, perhaps the best. As we've been saying for some time, honour to Nintendo for these valuable preservation operations: the title in question is rejuvenated thanks to the brand new visual compartment, and hasn't aged a day in the brilliant mechanics and widespread humour that runs throughout the production. 2024 confirms itself as the year of memories for Nintendo fans.

Hypercharge Unboxed is a shooter that manages to entertain thanks to horde co-op gameplay with tower defence mechanisms. The fact of using action figures as characters makes the whole thing even more surreal, even if in terms of content something more could have been done.

XDefiant is still far from being a perfect game, but the start is definitely encouraging. Ubisoft has a title on its hands that could seriously put sticks (not too big, maybe even just small sticks) in Call of Duty's wheels, and now it's all in the hands of the developers: constant adjustments and content are needed if a mass exodus of users is to be avoided.
