“RIDE 6 returns in strong form, building on its predecessor with more bikes, distinct riding styles, and a deeper, less restrictive Career mode featuring legendary racers. Enhanced visuals, dynamic weather, and robust content ensure lasting appeal, while Pro and Arcade options welcome all skill levels. Minor AI issues and limited track innovation hold it back, but it stands as the series’ finest entry yet.”

“After a long wait for Xbox owners, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade delivers a stunning experience that blends spectacular action with strategic depth and respect for its roots. It expands the original’s world and characters with strong pacing and cinematic flair. A rushed, disconnected finale and heavy reliance on prior knowledge slightly undermine the impact, but it remains a compelling, must-play title.”

“A smart, sensitive walking simulator built around a real, evocative setting rendered with strong style. Josef, Kolja, and the others carry a focused 4–5 hour narrative that stays engaging despite minimal gameplay and limited interactivity. For players who value story-first experiences, it delivers concentrated narrative substance without distractions.”

“Formula Legends is a pure, no-frills racing game - accessible yet deep enough to demand real skill. The lack of multiplayer limits longevity, but what’s here works beautifully. For Formula One enthusiasts, it’s nearly unmissable: despite lacking official licenses, it convincingly captures the spirit, history, and excitement of the world’s premier motorsport.”

“Kill the Brickman offers a crazy and engaging mix of brick-breaking, deck-building, and puzzle-strategy elements. While not a masterpiece, its huge variety of tactical options and its ridiculously low price point make it a must-buy for any fan of the genre who's looking for a fun and satisfying challenge.”

“Monster Energy Supercross 25 offers a refined gameplay, strong of a new bike physics management and dynamicity of the tracks, succeeding in always giving us exciting and fun races. It unfortunately stumbles on a technical realization that leaves a bit of a sour taste and a certain lack of willingness to dare, but it still remains an excellent Supercross game.”

“Immediate, fast-paced, and fun, Sociable Soccer can provide matches of pure arcade fun, and the addition of the management component to the Career mode succeeds in getting people hooked, even if the simplicity of the various systems ends up hurting its longevity. Undoubtedly the best arcade soccer since Sensible Soccer.”

“Despite its many obvious technical limitations, Phasmophobia is highly recommended for those who love horror and have the opportunity to play it with a group of friends, thanks to still innovative gameplay and a total sense of immersion.”

“Mediterranea Inferno offers us a narrative experience with a low interaction level but with an extremely interesting and meaningful story, enriched by an evocative artistic compartment. It is not for everyone due to both its classic visual novel structure and its themes, but if you have the right sensibility for this type of work, you cannot miss this fascinating contemporary novel.”

“UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves is a partly successful nostalgia operation: it succeeds in giving strong emotions to those who lived through the golden age of Japanese robot cartoons, but unfortunately has major technical flaws, with delays in the control system and graphical slowdowns.”

“Sword Art Online: Last Recollection is the worthy conclusion, narrative-wise, of the SAO Gamerverse, with continuous twists and turns and the presence of many memorable characters. Unfortunately, on a gameplay level the many mechanics introduced are of little use, and even on a technical level it doesn't impress, also presenting several quality-of-life flaws. It is in all respects a title to be played solely for the plot, dedicated to those who enjoyed the previous chapters.”

“Bud Spencer & Terence Hill: Slaps And Beans 2 is a solid, fun and rewarding title as well as a true love letter to the two cult actors. If you're looking for a side-scrolling fighting game that will entertain you with pleasure, this one might just have all the credentials to win you over.”

“With a well-calibrated gameplay and a truly evocative setting, The Valiant has the potential to find a second youth on consoles, succeeding in offering everyone the right level of challenge and achieving good results with a controller. Even if a bit repetitive and somewhat tiring, it's undoubtedly a convincing and addictive RTS.”

“In MotoGP 23 we find again the series' solid driving model, now further improved especially in the braking area. This, however, fails to compensate for major content and technical issues, making it difficult to recommend buying the game for now.”

“Kingdom Rush proves to be a fun and intriguing title, with balanced gameplay and a more than solid technical performance. Even if, given its age, it shows obvious limitations, it represents an excellent opportunity to discover (or rediscover) the Tower Defense genre.”

“Gunfire Reborn presents a mix of FPS and roguelite mechanics capable of dragging us into a vortex of "one more game" from which it is difficult to get out. With a stronger narrative compartment it could have aimed for higher heights, but even so it stands as a title that FPS lovers should not miss.”

“SBK 22 brings on the one hand the deep driveability characterizing Milestone's motorcycle simulations, but on the other hand it comes across almost as a clone of MotoGP 21, stingy in content and with various issues in urgent need of correction. Recommended only if you have not previously played the last MotoGP games.”

“LEGO Brawls may have more content than substance, but it succeeds in the intent of creating an accessible and fun competitive party game, and the incredible amount of characters, weapons, and customizations to be unlocked make it a title worth playing for months to come, as long as you are not looking for deeper, more technical gameplay.”

“Dawn of the Monsters successfully manages to reproduce the feeling of kaijus and big robot fights, but it doesn't add anything new to the genre's tropes, falling in a bit uninspired and repetitive gameplay.”

“KungFu Kickball would have all the makings of a great party game, but it lacks in depth and variety. Moreover, the overly simplistic single player component and the almost non-existent online community relegate it to the role of a game that can only be played among friends.”
