Man in Black Most Wanted is a fun VR game with a solid writing for Man in Black fans, unfortunately it is rough around the edges and can be unresponsive, but it's overall a good experience, especially for a Quest 3 native game.

⁠Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song Remastered International is a meticulously preserved artifact of JRPG history, now more accessible than ever thanks to the international localization. Its appeal lies in its unparalleled non-linearity, offering eight unique paths and a truly personal narrative journey driven by exploration and curiosity. The modern quality-of-life enhancements mitigate the grind of the original. However, its uncompromising design, high initial difficulty, and deliberate lack of guidance mean this classic remains a challenging experience. It's not a game for those seeking linear progression, but for players willing to embrace its chaotic freedom, it delivers a profound and endlessly replayable epic.

Anno 117: Pax Romana brings the player to a time period not much explored in videogames, and certainly not in the Anno series, that of the Roman Empire. Though the gameplay falls in line with what we've come to expect of the series, this entry manages to set itself apart thanks to its cultural elements, allowing the player to chose different paths, both in events and the research tree, and actually feel the weight of the choices for the rest of the game.

Octopath Traveler 0 it's a JRPG that doesn't start well, with just the combat system saving it from boredom, yet it comes into its own as the game progresses ending up in a great prequel by ACT III

A true masterpiece of the industry, a revival of a long lost IP, coming back stronger than ever, with a chapter which is probably the best in its series.

There are two key point to keep in mind when describing this title. First, it's a true simulator on consoles and essentially Gran Turismo's opposite. Project Motor Racing focuses on substance, placing realism above visuals - unlike Polyphony Digital's series. The second point concerns its potential: considering how much Farming Simulator has grown over the years, this new title is likely to receive strong long term support. It starts from an excellent foundation, even if it still has some notable limitations.

7.1 / 10.0 - Demonschool
Nov 18, 2025

By the time the semester reaches its final day, Demonschool leaves behind a very specific feeling. It is not a game that strives for technical perfection or overwhelming complexity. Instead, it chooses personality, atmosphere, and experimentation over raw challenge. Its tactical system favors creativity rather than optimization, its difficulty remains welcoming, and its structure mirrors everyday routines instead of epic escalation. Yes, combat can become repetitive, and some side activities are more amusing than memorable. But what truly defines Demonschool is its identity: a game that knows exactly what it wants to be. Through its distinctive visual style, carefully written relationships, and a combat system designed to be explored rather than mastered, it offers a refreshingly different take on the tactical JRPG.

Unscored - Forestrike
Nov 12, 2025

Forestrike is certainly a unique roguelite beat 'em up where reflection and methodical thinking prevail before actual combat, thanks to a gameplay element (Foresight) with a simple yet functional concept. As expected, the genre's typical repetitiveness is noticeable over time, while the simple parametric components make the game suitable for those who don't like having too many values ​​to keep track of. The story serves merely as a backdrop to the gameplay of Skeleton Crew Studio's title, although the interaction with the five masters of Yu offers its own small insights, the only aggravating factor being the lack of Italian localization. The pixel art style is noteworthy, offering a pleasant and nostalgic feel. Unfortunately, the real issue we encountered while testing Forestrike was the frequency of crashes, which made the experience unpleasant, compromising any progress made in most cases. I trust the developers to release a patch that can fix everything, but for now, if I had to give Forestrike a rating now, especially considering the technical aspects, it would be far from the abundant pass it deserved.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a solid yet familiar musou experience. While it doesn’t innovate or fully explore its rich lore, it delivers fast-paced action, great visuals, and technical polish on Switch 2. Fans of Age of Calamity will enjoy it, but those seeking major changes or deep storytelling may be left wanting.

Syberia, even in its Remastered version, remains one of the cornerstones of the point-and-click genre. With its renewed environments, a few small adjustments to the puzzles, and an improved visual presentation, it stands as the best way to relive this adventure — or experience it for the first time. All of this, of course, provided you can accept a few technical compromises.

This score is an commendation of audacity and a vote of confidence for the future, based on the firm conviction that the true essence of FM26 will fully emerge only after the corrective patches stabilise this new version of the world's most famous football management simulator.

DRAGON QUEST I and II HD-2D Remake is a highly successful restoration and modernization effort. The remake manages to celebrate the series' history, making it accessible and understandable for the first time within a coherent narrative context. The convenient and functional quality of life additions are excellent features that make the adventure accessible to everyone, mitigating the typical frustration of progression in the original titles. The story additions are also a significant bonus that considerably enriches the epic of the Erdrick saga.

As Long as You’re Here is a quiet, intimate experience that speaks through absence rather than spectacle. By placing the player in the role of the one who remembers, it transforms Alzheimer’s into something lived, not explained. Its strength lies in restraint: simple actions, careful silences, and a story that trusts you to feel rather than react. In just one hour, it creates a bond that lingers far longer than the playtime suggests. This is not a game about winning or overcoming, but about staying present. And in doing so, it proves how powerful videogames can be when they choose empathy over excess.

In summary, Double Dragon Revive positions itself as one of the strongest candidates for the worst recent installment in the series. While it avoids the absolute depths plumbed by Rosetta Stone and Double Dragon IV, it clearly falls short of the modern standards set by Neon and Gaiden. The game delivers the essential elements of the beat 'em up genre: iconic characters, environmental interactivity, and an arcade rhythm in co-op—making it merely acceptable for those seeking a quick, nostalgic gaming escape, particularly when shared. Barely scraping by with a passing grade, it is suitable solely for the incurable nostalgics. It can only observe with melancholy distance the titles that surpass it in every aspect, even with the presence of the famous Lee brothers and co., such as River City Girls 2 and its dedicated downloadable content, without even daring to disturb the recently released video game miracle that answers to the name of Absolum.

8.5 / 10.0 - The Lonesome Guild
Oct 23, 2025

The Lonesome Guild is not just an action RPG wrapped in bright colors and charming characters, but an emotional journey centered on solitude and connection. Through Ghost and the companions you meet, the game explores how isolation shapes identities and how relationships can slowly heal invisible wounds. Its combat and progression systems reinforce this theme, turning bonds into real, tangible strength. Despite some technical flaws and a modest challenge, the heart of the experience remains powerful and sincere. Tiny Bull Studios delivers a story that lingers, inviting the player to reflect on loneliness not as an end, but as a beginning. When the credits roll, what stays with you is not the silence, but the connections you chose to build.

8.5 / 10.0 - The Outer Worlds 2
Oct 23, 2025

The Outer Worlds 2 definitely gets my recommendation, though not without some reservations about its outdated aspects. If Obsidian had managed to leave behind the relics of Fallout: New Vegas, this could have been a worthy successor to that masterpiece. Sadly, they took the safer, lazier route once again. That said, it’s still an excellent game, no question about it, but it would’ve been nice to see the genre evolve at last, instead of reheating the same old formula for the umpteenth time, taking no real risks in the process. Obsidian clearly has the talent and resources to do better, but seems content to rest on its laurels, sticking to the familiar path.

Ultimately, Once Upon a Katamari is a new Katamari, with some very nice new features but without any choices that significantly alter the experience. Whether that's good or bad depends on your opinion of the previous games. For me, it's good. It's not a lazy sequel, but it might seem that way if you're not a fan of the series. The team's desire to create something special can be seen in the variety of stages, the attempts to create new gimmicks to accompany the classic levels, and the soundtrack. In fact, the new tracks in Once Upon a Katamari are beautiful and perfectly maintain the style I've become accustomed to from the old games. Once Upon a Katamari is another Katamari, for better or worse. New gimmicks enrich the experience for fans of the saga, and the new songs are delightful, but the experience is very faithful to Katamari Damacy. Personally, I've always been a fan of the saga, and Once Upon a Katamari was exactly what was needed after a fourteen-year hiatus.
