“Ultimately, Lies of P: Overture is configured as a further testimony to the crystalline talent of the Korean developers of Neowiz and Round 8 who, after having hit like a hurricane in a seemingly saturated market such as that of soulslike action/RPGs, replicate the winning scheme by declining it in an adventure with even darker tones, supported by a powerful imagery and an exciting story. Net of some qualitative contraction in some moments and a not exactly stellar duration, the expansion of Lies of P will certainly delight those who loved the epic of Geppetto's favorite son. Are you ready to return to tread the streets of Krat?”

“A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is not a production without rough edges, but at the same time it is a welcome surprise of this 2024. The work of Stormind and Saber Interactive proves to be worthy of the prestigious name it bears printed on the cover, successfully completing the difficult task of adapting this film franchise into video game form.”

“Summing up, Jyamma Games' Italian soulslike gave us mixed feelings: the sparkling side of the coin is composed of a pleasant plot, a first-rate artistic sector and a valuable sound accompaniment, while the shadier one is made up of design problems related to bosses and a gameplay formula that is not always well balanced.”

“While presenting the same structural conformation as the episodes published 30 years ago and without trying to correct the slight congenital distortions, Emio, the Smiling Man, offers a story robust and flowing enough to keep players glued for its entire duration, as long as you compromise with an old concept of gameplay in which the player's agency is reduced to a minimum, and which often results in a trivial cycle of trial and error.”

“Summing up, Nintendo Championships NES Edition presents itself at the appointment with fans as an authentic love letter to the history of the Japanese giant, with an eye to the phenomenon of speedrunning which has its most archaic roots on the iconic 8-bit home console.”

“Ultimately, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD presents itself to the appointment with fans with an aesthetic of undoubted quality and strong of the usual, brilliant gameplay of the series.”

“This new incarnation of MotoGP is in great shape at the annual appointment with fans. The neural aid system appears to be very scalable and effective, the campaign is substantial and highly customizable, and even the technical sector has taken some perceptible, although not overwhelming, steps forward. If you want to get closer to the world championship or simply are looking for a highly simulative title dedicated to the world of two wheels, MotoGP 24 is an excellent entry point.”

“Ultimately, the HD remastering of The Legend of Legacy shows the same structural and content problems that plagued the original.”

“Ultimately, Another Code Recollection is a product that brings with it two authentic classics of the past, so far lost in the folds of time.”

“Ultimately, Detective Pikachu - The Return can boast a plot that could entice the most die-hard fans of the world of Pokémon but it is also characterized by a somewhat bare playful system, which fits into the market segment of detective graphic adventures designed for a very young audience.”

“Ultimately, with Daymare 1994 Invader Studios has taken a step forward, treasuring the experience accumulated during the development of the progenitor of the series.”

“Ultimately, Crime o' Clock is a title that works, satisfies and entertains. The excellent artistic direction, full of tributes and references to pop culture, also greatly enhances the experience and is worth the ticket price alone.”

“Crash Team Rumble left us with mixed feelings. Although it is able to entertain for a few hours, with its frenetic games that see the comparison between the beloved protagonists and villains of the saga, it is impossible not to notice worrying lack of content and a balance that would require a lot of additional work.”

“Bloober Team has paid homage to its series with an updated and extended package, both from a playful point of view and in terms of visual presentation.”

“Ultimately, the new game by Piccolo Studio, after the excellent Arise: A Simple Story, is another gem that could delight fans of platform adventures, especially if sensitive to the passionate environmental message that the title tries to convey for about 6/7 hours necessary for its completion.”

“Ultimately, our encounter with The Last Case of Benedict Fox gave us mixed feelings. On the one hand we find an interesting plot, embellished with some tasty twist and framed by an extremely fascinating setting.”
