Need for Speed Unbound is a game that has style, but certainly this style is not for everyone...

If you like fast-paced melee combat games or if you are baked by the B-movie aesthetic and want something mindless, you will definitely have a good time. If on the other hand if you are looking for something more, you better invest elsewhere.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a game with an identity crisis, something that can't be said about Innocence. The sequel tries to do something that it ultimately can't and that, at least personally, I don't want it to do. It's not a bad game and it certainly offers an interesting adventure, but unfortunately it doesn't take that step that I expected.

Gotham Knights is a game with a lot of problems, but it's still enjoyable at times, especially for fans of the superhero genre and the Batman universe. However, ultimately it doesn't manage to reach Rocksteady's excellent Arkham games.

Soulstice copies a lot of formulas from past celebrated hack'n'slash games but fails to execute them accordingly. It can get repetitive and boring, and also is plagued by many technical issues. Talk about a lost chance...

NBA 2K23, especially with the Jordan Challenges, the addition of earlier eras and the noticeable improvements to the gameplay, looks more "crowded", more fun but also more greedy than ever.

Technical problems take the experience two steps back, since I met several bugs and after the day one patch. the development team would have to work on the title for at least a year more and maybe we would be talking about one of the best chapters in the franchise.

Bright Memory Infinite offers a highly entertaining campaign full of impressive sequences, which personally reminded me of the older Call of Duty titles, with all that this entails. There are some weaknesses, such as the very short two-hour lenght, the clichéd script and some ideas that aren't developed as much as they should be, such as the stealth mechanics. With all that said, if you like shooting galleries and you are looking for something flashy and 'light', it's worth a look.

While it left me satisfied as far as gameplay goes, Mario Strikers Battle League misses its goal when it comes to the single player and online aspects of it. Matches can be fun and intense and the gameplay can give a surprising depth to it, but unfortunately gets tarnished in terms of its production and content. If Nintendo chooses to support it through content updates then it has all the potential to show its worth.

The wonderful aesthetic of Trek to Yomi unfortunately cannot cover its several weaknesses in gameplay.

Unfortunately, although Nintendo has teased added content (with Golf coming first this summer), at the moment Switch Sports seems to offer only the essentials. The absence of even a simple single-player campaign hurts the game, depriving it, among other things, of a little personality that seems so much in need. For now, I would highly recommend it only as a party game that really comes to life and shows its quality with friends, whether online or not. In other words, it is closer to Wii Sports than to Wii Sports Resort.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is a game that mirrors its own city-world: A mixture of modern and old elements. It bears many imperfections both minor and major in terms of its opwn world engagement and the shallowness of its action part.

Stranger of Paradise is at its best a mediocre game that becomes boring and tiresome in many cases. It's a bad moment for Team Ninja that reminds me of Ninja Gaiden's 3. The only satisfying thing in this game is its gameplay which is inspired clearly from the Nioh franchise. If Team Ninja had more time in its hands to perfect it maybe we'd have a much refined game but it's not the case for this one.

Despite a few promising ideas, Rainbow Six Extraction has many gameplay flaws, like the badly balanced enemies, which bring down the whole experience. As it stands, it's only enjoyable with friends that really like these kind of games.

Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas are admittedly masterpieces. Unfortunately, the remasters offered by The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition suffer from too many problems and do not give these diamonds the treatment they deserve.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles is a very fun game, but with a short duration. It's a must-have for anime lovers, but it's not for everyone.

For another year, NBA 2K is a good basketball game that is surrounded by many problematic aspects, that mainly stem from its extreme monetization.

Robotech: The Macross Saga HD Edition is a great nostalgia trip, but a difficult suggestion for new players, as the gameplay did not receive the same care as the graphics.

The Medium is a Silent Hill tribute, trying to keep the survival horror genre alive in the absolutely old-fashioned way; during the approximately 6-7 hours it lasts, you will see an interesting script, superficial character presentation, some beautiful set pieces and ambitious mechanisms that, however, scrape and do not go deeper; it is not a bad game and of course I suggest it to fans of the genre.

If you're in for an indie that's all about pure aesthetics and atmosphere, then Olija is just for you.
