“Until Dawn Remake is a rather lazy remake of the now iconic PS4-era video game cult: the narrative additions appear superfluous and even anticlimactic, while the graphic modernization operation leaves itself open to too many qualitative oscillations, between excessively loaded facial expressions and still stiff animations. Playing Until Dawn today, for fans of the "teen horror" genre, still represents an interesting rediscovery, for a title that still manages to entertain thanks to the unpredictability of its narrative twists.”

“Ultimately, Super Monkey Ball Banan Rumble is the classic hit-and-run game that will give ample satisfaction especially to those who love to play multiplayer, whether it is with friends at home or online.”

“Solo Leveling: ARISE is a nice diamond in the rough, an action RPG with live-service elements with interesting potential.”

“Hellboy: Web of Wyrd is an insufficient game in almost every aspect. Unfortunately, the love that the development team must have for the franchise is not matched by an action roguelike, slow, cumbersome and terribly poor in variety.”

“Beyond a few small limitations, Marvel Snap is the card game that many fans have been waiting for: fun, fast, overflowing with style and huge fanservice, with a simple regulation and an intriguing and layered progression system.”

“Lost in Play is a point-and-click adventure made of irreverent no-sense comedy, intuitive puzzles and puzzles not particularly stimulating, but layered enough to make you spend a handful of hours of fun.”

“Ubisoft takes us by the hand and slowly leads us towards Ragnarok, in an expansion that reserves few flashes in terms of narration and staging.”

“Deck Nine knows how to make the most of its characters, and in this sense the DLC of Life is Strange: True Colors does not disappoint. Steph's story is quite intense on an emotional level and will appeal especially to fans of the first chapter of the series, but it stumbles on the playful front.”

“The Siege of Paris rests solidly on the playful and technical foundations of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and in some respects does not reach the scenic heights of Eivor's Irish journey. France is an open world less beautiful to look at and more contained in terms of extension, but more dense and varied on the front of activities.”

“Inspired and delicate on the visual and musical side, Omno's journey does not convince to the end, also thanks to a somewhat hasty ending and a moral conveyed with slight superficiality.”

“As fans of One-Punch Man, in any case, in the new license licensed by Bandai Namco you will find a lot of fanservice with pleasure, from the characterization of a rather large roster to the reconstruction of a crackling universe.”

“In short, ReMind is an operation not fully successful - especially thanks to the price at which it is offered - but at the same time fundamental for clearing up the ideas on the complicated future of the Square Enix saga.”

“On Nintendo Switch, with the Rebel Collection, Ubisoft has packaged a small jewel, capable of guaranteeing technical performance that (especially in portability) has not made us regret the console versions in the least.”

“Sega's famous blue porcupine continues to enjoy new lifeblood with this re-version: Sonic Mania Plus brings the beautiful platformer of 2017 in physical format, enriching it with a series of in-game and collectible content that make the purchase essential for those who have not played the original title.”

“NieR Automata is now available for Xbox One, and this news should be enough, on its own, to get all microsoft console owners to purchase the ticket. The work of Platinum Games directed by Yoko Taro is an explosion of virtuosity mixed with artistic suggestions of various kinds, which draw as much from the video game industry as from cinema and the best science fiction literature; the whole thing is amalgamated in a playful formula as solid as it is courageous, which continues to find its weakest points in an end game too poor for an action RPG and in a technical sector that lends its side to some drop in performance in the face of such adrenaline-pumping and spectacular gameplay. The Become as Gods Edition on Xbox introduces many small improvements to the defects outlined so far, bringing to the shelves of the users of the Redmond giant a definitive and more refined version in relation to the original.”
