Ultimately, Rally Arcade Classics is a title that may seem simple at first glance, but beneath the surface it hides a solid and enduring structure. It’s a game that will be loved by those seeking a nostalgic experience, filled with fast-paced races, unlockable objectives, and methodical progression, but it may bore players who are looking for a quick and carefree arcade experience. It’s not a “triple-A” game, nor does it aim to be, but within its niche it fully achieves its goal: delivering an old-school, authentic race that is challenging just enough and surprisingly rich in content.

Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots isn’t the triumphant comeback we dreamed of, but it’s the one we needed. Despite some technical hiccups and clumsy nostalgia, it brings us back to those carefree virtual greens. Hyde took on a heavy legacy and, without reinventing the wheel, honored it with care. If you grew up with Minna no Golf, you’ll find familiar comfort here—maybe a bit stale, but still satisfying. Isn’t that the charm of tradition?

While it lacks a deep personality, Metal Eden is a top-notch sci-fi shooter, packed with action and adrenaline. The gameplay is lightning-fast, the mechanics are clever, and the style is well-researched, including the design, music, and gameplay. The production has its limitations, especially in terms of overall replayability, but these will likely be ironed out over time. Regardless, Metal Eden remains a high-quality experience at a relatively reasonable price.

It combines a complex and varied combat system, memorable bosses, a world rich in atmosphere, and top-tier technical execution. Whether or not you have read the story that inspired and is honored by this game, all we can do is recommend picking up your controller and striking down anyone who stands between you and following in the footsteps of the legendary Monkey King.

For a project born from the vision of a single developer determined to bring his idea to life, in a sense, the goal has been achieved: Lost Soul Aside is indeed a lengthy and somewhat varied adventure which, while overall rather dull, can still manage to entertain for around twenty hours. However, the asking price and, above all, the PlayStation brand looming over the title inevitably create expectations that are left unfulfilled, due to a series of issues that undermine its overall quality. What remains is the regret of a missed opportunity, softened only by a combat system that, taken on its own, still manages to deliver some genuinely enjoyable moments. A real shame.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a top-notch remake that manages to be both respectful of the past and significantly alter its essence. The game is a legendary chapter in an immortal saga, so its value as a game is undeniable. Konami has introduced several new features, both in terms of gameplay and content, although the game still shows its age in some aspects. Aside from a few minor technical issues (including a less than flawless fluidity), the nostalgia effort can easily be described as a success.

Super Robot Wars Y isn’t for everyone, but fans of mecha know exactly what they’re getting: a nostalgic blast of flashy battles, fanservice, and iconic giant robots. Despite some technical hiccups and a slow-starting story, it delivers hours of strategy, customization, and pure mecha fun. The steep content price and lack of Italian localization are drawbacks, but for those who grew up dreaming of piloting Mazinger or Gundam, this game feels like coming home.

Robots at Midnight by Finish Line Games delivers a passable experience, hitting its key points but in a simplistic, overly formulaic way. While the project avoids major flaws, its execution feels bland and uninspired—especially puzzling given the crowded release window. It's a decent entry-level soulslike for newcomers with modest expectations, but unlikely to impress seasoned players.

I had low expectations for Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening, but Magic Pocket truly surprised me. This digital revival of Buichi Terasawa’s iconic space pirate is both a faithful tribute and a fun, varied action-platformer that captures the spirit of the original series. Despite some minor trial-and-error gameplay and a lack of unlockable extras, it’s well-crafted and offers great value. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Cobra and his Psycho-gun, there's plenty to enjoy—especially at such a modest price.

Hinokami Chronicles isn’t exactly the sequel I was hoping for. Alongside a campaign that is excellent in many respects, the game offers a graphical and technical compartment identical to the previous one, weighed down by substantial gameplay changes that result in frustrating and nerve-wracking battles. Online, victory basically goes to whoever has the most overtuned character and has memorized the longest combos with precision, effectively leaving the opponent with no chance to counterattack. As always, recommended for fans only.

With full Italian localization and an accessible plot, it’s a great entry point into survival horror for younger players. Faithful to its source and delivering just the right amount of chills, it’s a solid pick for fans or those seeking a lighter horror adventure.

"Echoes of the End is an adventure I can't wholeheartedly recommend, but at its budget price, it might offer you around ten hours of entertainment, thanks to its combat, puzzles, and - above all - the stunning visuals, which somewhat clash with the game's technical execution.

Ultimately, Gradius Origins proves to be a collection capable of delivering dozens of hours of entertainment, adapting to every type of player. Nostalgic fans will be able to rediscover the original challenging difficulty and relive the emotions of the arcades, while newcomers will have the chance to approach the saga thanks to simplified modes designed not to discourage them.

This is, therefore, a collection that doesn’t simply celebrate the past, but manages to make it feel alive and surprisingly modern. It’s true that the absence of certain titles such as Gradius IV and Gradius V may give some pause, but this in no way undermines the high quality of Gradius Origins.

Mafia: The Old Country marks a welcome return for the series, trading the excesses of modern open worlds for a tight, story-driven experience. Historical authenticity, strong characters, and a beautifully recreated Sicilian setting make it both engaging and cinematic. Unfortunately, a barebones, uninnovative gameplay, underwhelming knife duels, and simplistic AI hold it back. While Enzo Favara’s journey remains a significant chapter, it’s not quite enough to restore the series to its former glory.
