Days Gone is definitely one of the best titles of last generation, and this remaster further enhances its qualities, thanks to the powerful PS5 hardware. The new features introduced are interesting and offer a new way to experience both the game mechanics and the story itself. However, besides all these improvements there is not much else to fully justify the list price. The technical compartment is excellent, especially on PS5 Pro, but the improvements made tend to go unnoticed during the fast-paced scenes of the main story. In addition, many of the flaws of the original version are still present and, even 6 years later, still make the plot development bitter. The wave mode is an excellent addition: it allows you to improve your combat skills, revisiting some of the most iconic areas of the game world and using, in addition to Deacon ST. John, new characters. In conclusion, does Days Gone Remastered deserve the upgrade from the PS4 version? The answer is: it depends. If you have already played the original version on PS4 and want to relive the story with a 10 ,upgrade then yes, absolutely. But if you're on the fence about buying the remaster at full price, my advice is to stick with the original version, which by the way has been available on PS Plus since PS5's arrival on the market.

Chains of Freedom is a well-rounded tactical-RPG, sporting an excellent turn-based combat system and a surprisingly good story that only shows some hiccups nearing the end of the game. The level of difficulty is quite high, mainly because of the resource management necessary to even reach the later stages, bringing depth and a rising sense of tension to the whole experience.

I've said it: the market cannot be made of masterpieces alone. It does, however, hurt a lot to see that the palpable potential of the first Monaco was, in this Monaco 2, poorly translated into a sequel that does not improve on the previous chapter in virtually any aspect, in fact creating new problems where there were none. An inadequate camera, a procedural map generation system that needed to be structured more conscientiously, and a multiple-objective structure that learns no lessons from the far more skillful--at least in this--mobile games, make Monaco 2 a quietly avoidable title at a time, for the market, when teams as small as Pocketwatch Games manage to pack far more memorable game instances.

All in Abyss was a title that positively surprised me. The plot is full of twists and turns with a good characterization of the characters, aesthetically well-finished. The torture scenes may or may not be liked, but they are entirely optional. The gameplay is poker with RPG elements and this strange combination works in the game. It's so fun to play with it despite the fact that there are a few things forced behind the matches.

Gal Guardians Servants of the Dark is undoubtedly a good metroidvania, capable of offering a complete gaming experience and even a few hours of fun in local co-op, a type of game the industry seems to have forgotten. Unfortunately, while it improves on its predecessor in virtually every aspect, there remains the feeling of being faced with a title that handles usually more complex aspects well, such as the excellent boss fights against some bosses, only to fall on seemingly simpler and more straightforward issues such as inventory management.

Thanks to its setting, its fantastic combat system and its emotional story, Expedition 33 is one of the greatest game I've played in the past few year

Microids has created a good remake from a graphical point of view, managing to expand an adventure that was originally very short. However, the first-person view with static and non-freely explorable scenes is too anachronistic nowadays, as are some puzzles that are too simple. In any case, Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy has a nice plot, interesting characters and remains a nice tribute to the memory of Benoît Sokal and is a good opportunity to discover his first game, considering the budget price at which it is proposed.

While we have a very dry and stripped-down single player mode, we also have a fun and deep 2D fighting game that we really felt was needed. A simplified control scheme is available as a function of a plug-and-play experience for the neophyte. The animations of the 3D models fail to compete with the fluidity and beauty of Street Fighter 6's animations or rival the models of Tekken 8, lending a functional aesthetic to a title that besides inviting guests from the real world, does nothing else to attract new players to it. Nonetheless, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves manages to shine in a jaw-dropping light of its own, and I truly hope it represents a firm reinsertion point in the videogame palimpsest of a saga that had been sorely missed.

The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy does not shine in any of its aspects, offering gameplay models with bland and shallow mechanics. The characters are little more than literary archetypes, and yet the hours spent in the title's company flew by. All credit to the writing of Kazutaka Kodaka and Kotaro Uchikoshi, who succeeded in trapping me in a maelstrom of unanswered questions, mysterious killings, and plot twists. The events are dense and never boring, stimulating curiosity enough to want to consume the title in the blink of an eye and unravel its mysteries. If you are looking for a deep dating sim, as well as a tactical RPG, The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy will definitely not be for you. If, on the other hand, you want to immerse yourself in a whimsical visual novel with grotesque overtones, with elements plucked here and there from other genres, this title coming out on April 24 will definitely do the trick.

Phantom Breaker Battle Grounds Ultimate is a welcome return, a great gaming experience that shows its full potential in Co-op, thanks especially to its large roster. PBBGU's gameplay remains fun and rewarding, even though with some flaws given by an old design. Graphically it has been rebuild from the ground, maintaining its nature in pixel art loved by fans.

Forbidden Skies is a gem of the survival genre but not a perfectly polished one. Due to technical hiccups and an overabundance of copy-paste places, it does not reach excellence, still it's well worth your time and money.

Bionic Bay is more than an excellent platformer. It is a successful experiment, a laboratory of ideas put into practice with precision and taste. It is a game that is not afraid to make you fall, as long as you get back up stronger. And in a landscape where originality often gives way to repetition, it represents a breath of fresh air. Whether you are an avid fan of precision platformers or simply looking for a different, living, instinctive experience, this title deserves to be played, observed, understood. Because behind its minimalist appearance, Bionic Bay hides a heart that beats wildly.

Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle looks like a title that centers some of the key elements of the series, offering an adventure full of mysteries and discoveries, in true Indiana Jones style. However, some designm choices such as the combat and stealth-related systems show weaknesses that hardly go unnoticed. Although the technical aspect has been significantly refined from past versions, the game oscillates between moments of undoubted charm and others where its limitations emerge. It certainly does not create a new graphical standard, but it remains enjoyable to the eyes without too much jarring. Ultimately, the experience offered is a compromise between nostalgia for Indy's adventures and the need for a more pronounced evolution in some aspects of gameplay. However, I will not deny that this is probably one of the best titles dedicated to the world's most famous archaeologist. The plot holds its own against the movies thanks in part to a truly believable cast, and this applies not only to the performance of Indiana Jones, but also to all the secondary characters and antagonists.

Avowed is a traditional RPG that stays faithful to the areas where Obsidian's expertise mostly shines while trying to introduce more action into the mix. With a stunning world a deep lore and impactful choices it does, in fact, represent a remarkable experience even though the gameplay suffers from the historical drawbacks of the studio and lacks in some key areas. All in all, Avowed does what it sets to do but rarely manages to solve the weaknesses of its developer

MLB The Show 25 is not a revolutionary chapter, but to those approaching this franchise for the second time, it has the appearance of a complete and, above all, polished product. San Diego Studio confirms its mastery in packaging a product that is technically excellent, quite accessible and respectful of baseball tradition, even with sections devoted to the history of the most important groups, socially and professionally, in the history of the sport. This chapter sees the introduction of interesting new features that are more than sufficiently integrated, but there is still room for improvement, especially in the onboarding of new players. Better, right now, in the marketplace there is none, so while considering the strides the IP needs to make, MLB The Show 25 is THE baseball game if you find yourself interested in the sport. Let's hope for a slightly bolder 2026 iteration.

1000xResist is a masterpiece of sci-fi: maybe it does not take all the advantages it can from being a videogame, but it still does enough to be considered so and it's one of the best out there

SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered is a title full of imagination and ambition that may seem difficult to decipher in the first few hours, but given enough time, it knows how to return your trust. Especially for those curious to explore the series, this version is a perfect introduction to the saga.

Star Overdrive is a nice indie, to try at a discount, maybe during a slightly boring lunch break or on the train with the Lite in hand. But don't expect to still find yourself in the evening, red-eyed and heart pounding. A good starting point, but it needs fuel to really make its mark.

The new game dedicated to Supercross represents a good step forward for the series. The gameplay has been further refined, thanks to the advice of the players and the online editor that adds hours and hours of extra fun, guaranteed by the creative spirit of the community. The modes offered by the title are not particularly numerous, but they cover the essentials for a title of this genre. Most of the features introduced in the career mode are taken from the 2024 edition of MotoGP, bringing with them the same problems encountered, especially with the introduction of the "Social" mode. On an artistic level, the game shows evident shortcomings, but the effort of the developers in improving the graphic rendering through more detailed textures must be recognized. Unfortunately, despite the improvements, the game will go relatively unnoticed (at least on European soil), given the small segment of fans and the high difficulty of the game that could initially discourage neophytes. In conclusion, Monster Energy Supercross 25 is far from being a perfect title, but the experience offered by the game certainly deserves your attention. The Milestone team has also promised extensive post-launch support, which will further improve gameplay and add new content in the coming months.
