Black Jewel is a game designed for gamers that spent their childhood watching the loading screen of the Commodore 64, with its simple gameplay and a soundtrack that sounds exactly like a SID tune. In order to appreciate it, though, you need to get back to the 8-bit era, and forget everything that came after it. The fact that it costs only 2 euros is the cherry on top.

The art direction can truly be misleading: behind poor animations, seemingly cheap drawings and some technical constraints you'll find an excellent, intriguing and well-designed graphical adventure based on a trilogy of fantasy novels, penned by the little known Sebastiano Brocchi. The slow pace, the richness of the lore and the emphasis on the story will definitely please the hardcore fans of the genre.

Odium is a small but well crafted game, full of pressing music and high difficulty. The very hard challenge and the heavy rhythm of techno music could be frustrating for some players.

Golem is a very interesting indie game, with its original mix of adventure, puzzle and platform elements. Controls can still be improved, but it's fun and well done even in its current state.

Jeff Minter has been able to renew the classic Tempest formula, which becomes an excellent game even after 38 years. Unfortunately, the PC version has some small but annoying technical problems.

Castle of Venia smells of good old games of the past, but too many technical limitations and the lack of content irremediably limit all the good things it can give.

Yakuza Kiwami on PC follows the original version for PlayStation 4 so faithfully that while playing we'll often doubt which platform we're playing on.

Degrees of Separation is a little gem in a panorama that is becoming more crowded and full of expectations.

Scintillatron 4096 seems to have come straight out of an elucubration by Jeff Minter, and this is perhaps the best compliment that I can make. Frantic and fun, at times frustrating, but also endowed with an unexpected strategic depth, this game seems to have come here directly from an arcade of the 80s.

The Ballad Singer is an interactive book made video game. The game developed by Curtel Games is not for everyone, but it sure is incredibly rich and deep.

Nippon Marathon is a positively wacky, completely deranged party game, but it's also very repetitive.

A cheap fighting game, a little rough on the edges, but quite varied, challenging and fun, good to have a few laughs at fair price.

The gameplay of Pathologic 2 is very barebones in favor of a story pretty difficult to understand. It's a very complex game, barely passable on the technical front, but with a great atmosphere.

To appreciate Conan Unconquered it is necessary to close both eyes on its limits and bear the bizarre design choices, but if it is true that perseverance pays, it is also true that one can get tired much earlier.
