The Games Machine

A 'puzzle platformer' with a strong personality, an excellent cast and an intriguing story. In terms of gameplay, there is no shortage of ideas, but the game's potential is almost totally destroyed by a large number of bugs and glitches that 'dirty' the gaming experience, making it MUCH more complicated than it should have been.

StarVaders is a really fun and solid deckbuilder, it is well made from many points of view. Even if it has room for improvement, it deserves to sit at the same table as the best "videodrugames".

Keeping the original structure intact, Days Gone returns to PlayStation 5 in a version that - thanks also to an appealing price tag - stands out as a purchase well worth considering for open-world enthusiasts. Visually polished, lengthy without becoming tiresome, and quite entertaining, it also features a range of new game modes alongside the main adventure that add variety. The epic tale of Deacon St. John still fully deserves high praise today.

Viscerafest is a frantic boomer shooter set in a retro sci-fi universe painted with big pixels with a neon palette reminiscent of the vicious color schemes of the 1980s. The mercenary protagonist is a love letter to Duke Nukem, engaging in ultra-violent shooting and impossible jumps along labyrinthine levels overflowing with aliens and bosses to be riddled with bullets until they turn to pulp. The option of collecting skulls to use as currency at stores to buy cheats invites replaying maps already completed in search of secret areas or simply for revenge once you get stronger.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered updates the technical aspects of the renowned RPG through the use of Unreal Engine 5, enhancing lighting, animations, and sound. However, it suffers from instability, with frequent crashes and significant drops in frame rate, particularly in open environments. The original issues persist, including the notorious auto-leveling system and an outdated combat system. Additionally, some changes made to the character progression risk amplifying the problems already present in the original version.

Level Devil isn't impossible . In fact, compared to some punishing platformers, it's almost gentle . Most levels can be completed in a matter of seconds, once you get the hang of it, and if you can keep your cool, the entire game can be completed in an afternoon of pure nervous tension.

Steel Seed is the kind of game that you'd love to see do better, because while its combat lacks polish and its story is fairly generic, you can feel that this is a game born out of ambition. Unfortunately, while they're never bad, most of its elements can't keep up the same level of quality as its breathtaking vistas.

Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves isn't just a successful comeback: it's a love letter to long-time fans and, at the same time, a great entry point for newcomers. With deep yet accessible gameplay, inspired art direction and an avalanche of content for all modes, SNK signs off one of its most convincing works of the modern era. There's still the tightness of the online section and the weight of certain unpopular choices in the roster to be tested, but the heart is there, and beating fast. South Town is alive again.

Let's party like it's 1998! Tempest Rising brings us back all the right memories of Command & Conquer, and it's a lot of fun at an adrenaline-filled pace.

Missions are linear but packed with optional areas, and the post-apocalyptic aesthetic feels polished, believable and well-directed. Suitable for those seeking accessible combat with near-infinite resurrection options, less for purists who demand depth and control of every action point.

An incredible and hugely enjoyable cinematic videogame, with very few pauses, a rare attention to detail and an almost touching competence in terms of gameplay. Indiana Jones' fans will live a 20+ hour dream, but even those who have never particularly liked the famous archaeologist have the opportunity to enjoy one of the best action-adventures of recent years.

Cataclysm makes you feel like a medieval architect with performance anxiety: every mistake is set in stone and paid for in blood. It may not be a title for the masses and it has some areas that could be improved, but it can be rewarding and is certainly original.

Hoverboards and rock music made the fortune of Back to the Future and the formula works quite well also in Star Overdrive. The game developed by the Italian team Caracal presents an aesthetically pleasing sci-fi adventure, with a setting that is not particularly original but fascinating and full of activities. Some 'stiffness' problems in the walking phases, small technical stumbles and a bit of repetitiveness in situations, however, prevent it from taking off.
