IGN Italy's Reviews

Jun 12, 2024

A refined edition not to be missed, which however could have done better in terms of plot and level-up balance.

6.5 / 10.0 - Homeworld 3
Jun 10, 2024

A disappointing third entry that somehow manages to still be relatively fun. An abismal story married to a fun roguelike gameplay mode makes for a still acceptable game that could, and should, have been much better.

King Arthur: Legion IX basically retains the same formula of its predecessor and still offers plenty of good tactical combat, but overall the reduced complexity of its systems and the lack of meaningful innovation make it a less appealing product than Knight's Tale.

8.5 / 10.0 - Animal Well
Jun 6, 2024

A fascinating two-faced videogame, a bit puzzler and a bit platformer, based on excellent level design, enchanting sound design and lovely pixelart.

Lorelai and the Laser Eyes has the charm of its title: it is a mysterious and polymorphous object, concrete and elusive simultaneously. It relies on the conventions of the genre but it's not afraid to defy them to narrate an intense and melancholic journey along the uncertain trails of memory.

7 / 10.0 - F1 24
Jun 3, 2024

F1 24 is a good starting point for those approaching the world of Formula 1 games for the first time, but if you are looking for substantial new features and mechanics compared to previous games, you will probably be disappointed.

9 / 10.0 - V Rising
May 29, 2024

One of the best adventure survival ARPGs out there and one of the best vampire games ever: do you need anything else?

7.5 / 10.0 - XDefiant
May 28, 2024

XDefiant is an online shooter with balance problems but still fun, solid in some aspects, and (far too) generic in others.

A competent remake of a 1981 dungeon crawler which most probably remained way too much faithful to the original game.

While graphically Senua's Saga: Hellblade II offers memorable glimpses and moments, anything beyond the visual impact and the dark and fierce atmosphere is disappointing, especially for a sequel announced five years ago on which Microsoft bet big.

May 21, 2024

Directly from the GameCube's âge d'or emerges one of the best Mario-related RPGs, suitably revamped and still hugely entertaining. The game also shows how cutting-edge Intelligent Systems and Nintendo were 20 years ago; if all the latest Switch hits will be like this one, there's no complaining.

Songs of Conquest is a respectful and heartfelt tribute to Heroes of Might and Magic, but it shouldn't be considered a simple copy and paste. In fact, Lavapotion has masterfully added some personal touches to that solid turn-based gameplay which, together with the splendid contemporary pixel art, make it modern and nostalgic, romantic and exciting. We eagerly await further content: could this be the beginning of a new legend?

8 / 10.0 - Indika
May 17, 2024

I loved Indika, even if I have the impression that some practical limitations held back the creative ambitions of its developers. Nonetheless, it is a game rich in ideas, drawing on Russian art and literature while reworking some of their recurring themes from a modern perspective that works especially well in a video game.

8 / 10.0 - Men of War II
May 15, 2024

An astoundingly deep real time strategy game that offers a unique experience in world war 2 simulation. Some frustrating details keep it from being considered among the best.

7 / 10.0 - Open Roads
May 6, 2024

Open Roads is a first-person adventure game that focuses on the mother-daughter relationship and uses dialogue as its primary narrative tool, in addition to the classic environmental exploration typical of the genre. Overall, it is a very intimate and enjoyable experience that actually feels like a family road trip, but it ends up being too ephemeral to make an impression, due to a somewhat abrupt unraveling of the mystery that serves as the narrative pretext for the adventure, and a series of stylistic choices that take some of the power away from the story's emotional impact.

With a little more attention, Endless Ocean Luminous could have been an interesting video game. However, as it is, it is merely a wasted opportunity: interaction with environments and sea creatures is stripped to the bone, while the direction is not exactly outstanding. It remains a relaxing experience, but it is not enough.

An excellent mix between an action-RPG and a shooter, wonderfully developed into one of this year's best indie games.

7.5 / 10.0 - Botany Manor
Apr 30, 2024

A nice and short first person puzzle game which provides nice puzzles and inspiring visuals while not managing to fulfill the excellent premise of its setting.

7.5 / 10.0 - Top Spin 2K25
Apr 29, 2024

TopSpin 2K25 is basically an improved version of Top Spin 4: Hangar 13 didn't want to take any risks and played it safe. Even a decade later the gameplay of the series is clearly the best on the market: with a current-gen graphics system and a couple more modes we would have been looking at a little gem.

7 / 10.0 - Sand Land
Apr 26, 2024

Sand Land is an enjoyable game for those who love Toriyama's works, but it fails to fully stand out for its narrative quality or all the mechanics underlying its gameplay.
