This War of Mine: Final Cut closes an important path for 11 bit studios and does so at the most appropriate time, when it's really important to raise awareness of what war really means for ordinary people. From this point of view, the game still does its job very well and the three extra stories add further narrative depth to the package, which however remains designed for mouse and therefore turns out to be rather cumbersome when playing with a controller.

There's still magic in the Mana series, and a spark of this is visible also in a mobile gacha RPG like Echoes of Mana. Its characterization and atmosphere are the driving force of this game, that otherwise, gameplay-wise, brings absolutely nothing new to the table.

King Arthur: Knight's Tale is an excellent strategic role-playing game, with many winning features, such as the setting and the combat system, which fortunately the flaws, while present, fail to nullify. Of course, we would have liked a few more interactions in the exploration phases, as well as a more balanced management of progression, but you can't have it all.

Trek to Yomi is a good game. He wisely mixes action combat and exploration. Too bad for some ingenuity that often makes it not very user friendly and which all seem to derive more from inexperience than from lack of time. If you are a lover of Japanese folklore and culture you will still have something to eat.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters is definitely a title recommended to all those who appreciate the revived formula from the XCOM series reboot of Firaxis, despite having a more rigid campaign structure.

An absolutely brilliant roguelite that takes the gameplay loop from the original game and utterly perfects it, taking notes from some of the best indie games around. A must have for any fan of the genre.

The technical problems that surround Loot River are undeniable. Yet, it is fascinating how we keep thinking about getting back in those flooded corridors as soon as possible. Facing a game that forces you to restart your run because the boss got stuck between platforms and now is, somehow, invincible, one would think that that game will be soon uninstalled. Yet, perfection is overvalued nowadays. We prefer those who dare.

Bakery Simulator is a simple game, even too simple. The gameplay loop is quick, but limited by trivial mini-games and as you continue through the game you find yourself playing less and less, with many steps automated by the machinery you purchase. The progression is fast, but linear and the content is exhausted within a few hours and even before you get to the "final" you find yourself deeply bored. Add to that a few technical, visual and textual problems and you've got a game that even die-hard fans of job simulators and baking won't find much to enjoy.

Ultra Age, if considered as the sum of its parts, is a mediocre game. Limited graphics, forgettable storyline, support systems with little impact or poorly managed, limited longevity and poor replayability: there is much that does not impress, but in the midst of all this we find a pleasant combat system that can give a few hours of fun if you want an action game not too technical.

Nintendo Switch Sports is really fun, with good motion controls, and it can entertain anyone, from the beginners to the hardcore gamers. Anyway, if you don't have someone to play it in multiplayer offline, it isn't deep enough to last long. More contents and - maybe - sports will be added in the future.

Moonshot takes a classic formula and enriches it with tons of contents and variables, all with an enjoyable aesthetic. In the end it's nothing new, but presented in a pleasing - although repetitive - way.

Kaiju Wars is a strategy game with a strong personality and a traditional but captivating gameplay, with some tower defense elements and a balance that in some cases seems perhaps too ruthless.

We felt like real entrepreneurs, those who sacrifice everything for the well-being of their company, even their private life, and we began to reflect on reality, asking ourselves where we are located in the food chain and if, in the end, we are on the side of those who mince, or on the side of those who are minced. The fact that in the meantime we continued to turn the handle of the meat grinder without giving it much attention was a pleasantly revealing response.

Galactic Civilizations 4 is a good strategy game made by someone who knows how to handle the genre. Too bad that in some cases he has fallen victim to his own ambitions.

MotoGP 22 introduces the excellent NINE Season 2009, a narrative-based story mode finally able to characterize the game, and delivers an even more simulative gameplay that requires a certain commitment by the players.

Ganryu 2 is a good game that looks at the past without pretending to surpass it.

Crimesight is a sort of multi-player chess game. The presentation is nice, the soundtrack catchy, and the ideas behind the gameplay work. This is not a game of deduction, mind you, so much as it is a game of strategy. It is easy to approach but becoming a real detective will take several hours. Its main problem is that the contents are meager and in a few hours you've seen everything it has to offer. If you have a group of friends, however, it might be more interesting in the long run.

MLB The Show 2022 is one of the best sport simulations out there. Unfortunately, Sony San Diego is frozen in its classic scheme and its experience isn't easily accessible to new fans of the franchise.

Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is a shallow action game which will appeal to the most visceral fans of these franchises.

Zombie Army 4: Dead War brings to Nintendo Switch some new features, introducing different playable characters, upgrades, special abilities and wider locations. The gyro controls are a welcome extra, but from a technical standpoint the game really struggles.

Lila's Sky Ark is a tiny, little game overflooded with problems. Narratively is not effective nor interesting, visually is bland and confusing. But the gameplay is the biggest flaw that affects this project by Monolith of Minds. It simply isn't entertaining to play nor engaging in any of its mechanics. Everything about this game feels stiff, chaotic and loose. In the end, the only thing that Lila's Sky Ark left us was just pure frustration.
