Fires of Rubicon is Armored Core as it should always have been: the new game delivers a great combat system and mobility, but unfortunately, it's hampered by a few shortcomings no longer excusable to a world-class studio such as From Software.

Aug 22, 2023

A sci-fi thriller too cryptic with its story and with very little substance on the gameplay side, for an unfortunately unsatisfactory result.

Aug 17, 2023

A sequel that first of all thinks about smoothing out the previous imperfections, before offering a series of very well implemented innovations overall.

The game flexes all the muscles with the excellent use of Unreal Engine 5 but is undermined by obsolete tricks to create tension.

Amnesia: The Bunker is a more guided experience than it claims, where ingenuity and improvisation are replaced by tedious resource management.

Wo Long has an addicting combat system, but also troubles in finding the right balance: the new RPG from Team Ninja leans too much in the player's favor, while reducing the sense of challenge.

Octopath Traveler II is a small but noticeable gem, just like its predecessor, too bad that it indulges in past flaws without really improving them.

9.2 / 10.0 - Hogwarts Legacy
Feb 6, 2023

A beautiful transposition of the Wizarding World, Hogwarts Legacy is both a tribute to the Harry Potter universe and a litmus test largely passed by Avalanche Studios with their first, big and delicate project.

6 / 10.0 - Gungrave G.O.R.E
Nov 22, 2022

Gungrave G.O.R.E. tries to build up upon nostalgia and good old times with a gameplay which is basically the same of the old chapters. The result feels... well, out of time.

7 / 10.0 - Harvestella
Nov 14, 2022

A good mix between life-sim and GdR, Harvestella seems to be a game addressed to the less experienced players, rather than the expert ones.

A third chapter that does not differ too much from the previous ones but is expanded in terms of map and plot.

A simple and fun Action RPG, a little too hasty in the narrative but supported by well-characterized characters.
