The Darkest Tales is a pleasant title but one that doesn't find the courage to experiment with something new in classic game mechanics. The plot and the settings, however, manage to emerge positively.

Modern Warfare II is not as courageous as the previous one nor as revolutionary but it is still a fun, galvanizing and filled in content war FPS, enriched by a technical realization of absolute value.

God of War: Ragnarök is a modern epic poem, a great tale of change, a crucible full of content. It requires the user to understand - and above all choose whether to welcome - the creative ambition of the authors: powerful in the message, bittersweet in the story, undoubtedly distant from the historical soul of the God of War “video game”, but undeniably majestic. To date, there is no video game that can boast action sequences of the same quality as those that emerged in God of War: Ragnarök, just as there is no title that can count on the same staging.

The Last Oricru starts from some good ideas but unfortunately poorly developed or not fully developed. Almost everything is to be reviewed, from the narrative choises and characterization to the combat system, bad most of the time. Hopefully, these criticisms will lead to a more refined second job.

The Divine Force isn’t one of the worst chapters in this long-running JRPG franchise, but it fails to bring the series to a new generation. Despite the good efforts made to revamp the combat system and give more freedom to the players, the game feels like a JRPG of ten years ago.

Dull gameplay, uninteresting action, shortage of game modes and characters, subpar graphics and bad performances, make this game one of the worst Dragon Ball games ever created.

PGA Tour 2K23 evolved from the last entry in multiple ways. The three-click swing adds another layer of playability, My Career is better than the previous one and the Top Golf mode is a fun multiplayer variation. There's still room for improvement and we can't wait to see the game against the upcoming EA's rivalry.

Quotation forthcoming.

Bayonetta 3 achieves excellence on the gameplay side, with new gameplay mechanics and a spectacular sequence of over-the-edge scenarios. Unfortunately, this beautiful stylish-action game also enhances the limits of Nintendo Switch hardware, but remains one of the 2022 “must-have games” on the platform.

Victoria 3 returns in all its glory and does not tune down its difficulty level. It's not a game for all, but once mastered it shows a depth that only a few other titles can boast.

The Winter's story comes to an end in this first (and last) DLC for Resident Evil Village, which includes the highly-demanded third person view and a bunch of new contents for Mercenaries mode. It is worth your money if you are planning to play the entire game again and you're a die-hard fan of secondary challenges.

Batora: Lost Haven is a story driven action / RPG characterized by a very good combat system and a solid flow. The first original IP from Stormind Games is flawed only in terms of the impact of the system of choices, which is less profound than the game suggests. However, we are in the presence of a fun and replayable production.

With Gotham Knights WB Games Montreal delivers a pretty decent and enjoyable action game with structural and balance issues that result in a mere distant echo of Rocksteady's Arkham series.

New Tales from The Borderlands follows the step of its predecessor, with a well written story and a cast of protagonists that will entertain you for hours. The cell shading style and the filmmaker direction make the whole package well worthy of your time.

Illfonic delivers another asymmetric multiplayer game based on a famous franchise with great but unexpressed potential, just like Predator: Hunting Ground and Friday The 13th: The Game. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed desperately needs new maps and modes to attract a bigger audience and be the game it was meant to be.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves finally arrives on PC in excellent shape, though not so excellent to hide its wrinkles.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is an exciting and moving journey into the relationship between Amicia and Hugo. Unfortunately, the gameplay is too guided sometime breaking the suspension of disbelief.

Its richness in contents, its innovation in mechanics and excellent art style and soundtrack are what make Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope a game that challenges Japanese Nintendo productions. Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is the best Nintendo Switch release in 2022, capable to surprise with its novelties and to meet the expectations of hardcore players.

Quotation forthcoming.

Despite a troubled development, Scorn managed to evolve over the years, to reach a visual and aesthetic power hardly achieved by other video games, including AAA. Unfortunately, the gameplay core is anachronistic and makes the gaming experience unsatisfactory, at times even frustrating... certainly light-years behind the artistic aspects of the title.

Bricktales is a slightly different game from the previous LEGO titles, that puts “construction” and “creativity” right in the center of the experience. Not a masterpiece but definitely an enjoyable one.

Crema's ambitious MMO has clear ideas and manages to engage without too much difficulty.

Quotation forthcoming.

Bub and Bob embark in a new adventure, this time in 3D... and VR! Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey is a decent puzzle game despite some annoying technical problems, surprisingly better in virtual reality than standard mode.

Valkyrie Elysium is an honest game, but victim of very evident production limits, which combined with the general result cannot justify the payment at full price. Despite being able to offer an interesting combat system, the game is characterized by a very mild progression and a structure that is all too simple, although solid.

This is not the usual Shovel Knight you'd expect. Yacht Club Games and Nitrome managed to throw the popular hero in an unusual situation that will entertain and challenge new players but also seasoned ones.

One step back for the gorgeous Nier Automata on the Nintendo Switch . The game is still entertaining but the equation 720p/1080p + 30fps doesn't give the best result. The “portability factor” adds something, but not enough to convince those who already played the game on other platforms.

The DioField Chronicle is a game of missed opportunities. A series of cliché gameplay, only improved by an enjoyable semi-real time combat system, that is both choreographic and engaging. The flat character depiction, and the forgettable story sadly come as added baggage to a promising title that could have been much more.
