It’s the perfection of Returnal. All the problem of Returnal has been solved. The art direction is amazing, Carcosa is wonderful, the story is very deep, the secondary character are not so good, but Arjun and Nitya are very great. Game design and level design top. Raccommanded

Great game, with a good combat system and a beautiful story. So you have great gameplay and great narrative. What else? Some game design choices has been not so great, like for example some checkpoint or some quest where you do not have really clear about what to do and any clue to got it , so you need lot of try and this could be frustrating. But is not so long as a game so I guess was to make enough difficulties. Great game. Waiting for resonant.

The great following **** game. The gameplay is the same of the first chapter, so enjoyable, but the story, starting from what you got before, it’s really stunning, a masterpiece. Emotional, accurate, the characters are all incredible. I just do not like the open world, but u can avoid it a little bit if you don’t want. I also thing that some moment of the main quest has been a little too slow and useless, but do not alter the quality of the experience

A Masterpiece, gameplay is rich and funny, the story is amazing, you feel the link with all the charachters, also the secondary charachter are structured enough to feel their role in the story. Emotional and fascinating

Great gameplay, great narrative, huge art direction e good level design. Hades 2 is all of this better, but Hades 1 open the door for this, so cannot say is not a great great game

Indie games really well created. Level design is good, gameplay is enjoyable and the story can touch you, even without a lot of words the power of the images are incredible. In fact the real strenght of the game is the art direction, really amazing. The drawings are stunning.

Insomniac have done a great job. The graphic is amazing, is technically stunning to fly through NY, explore the city with spidey is an important part of the experience. The story is better then the first chapter, i think is really inspired, in particular the character are really accurate and write with love and attenction. Good story, good gameplay, great graphic. If i give him only 8 is because the secondary quest and the activities that you can do in parallel with the main story are a little bit ripetitive.

Great classic. Nothing to say, if you never played before, you should. The switch support doesn’t add anything to the experience, but is comfortable to play on the tv.

Great game, really Amazing direction, well written, you feel a real link with every character, more with someone obviously, but is a real immersive game. The art direction is great, I loved the design, and also the gameplay has been satisfying, it is not his core business, but is enjoyable also the gaming part. But if you come for the story, you will love this game.

Amazing game. Best then some of the latest game of the main series of pokemon. Great story, art direction, ideas, seems a game that someone made with love, and then this love is reflected in the game and so you feel to the game. The design of the game is so good, the gameplay loop is very comfortable, in some moments feel a little be the repetition of the same thing but, every bioma have is souls, so i really enjoy it. Great game. If you love cozy game or if you love pokemon you must try it.

Great game, amazing direction, it's frenetic the jump between cut sceane and gameplay, giving you the idea to be every second totally merged with the script. The charachter has been very well written, some choice could be opinable, but is direction choices and that choices works very well. The gameplay is better then the first chapter, more complex and various.

The best game in this genre, complex, rich, colorfull. Not just the art direction is amazing but also the gameplay and the things to do are a lot. A lot more other extraction shooter. They way you can play contract and quest give you everytime a new reason to explore the map, the fact that you don't have clear indicator of the objectives in the map for the quest,allow you to learn very deeply the map, to appreciate how the world has been created. Surely is more complex then some competitor, but this complexity give to this game more longevity, you will have ever new reason to run in Tau Ceti, and the PVP is not the main goal but at the same time its constantly there, you have to face it frequently. Also the PVE is pretty hard. Its a game for the player, that's the true.

I played for the first time metal gear snake eater on this version, and i really love this masterpiece. Probably the original version is not so far away from this remake, maybe the remake could do better than this, on the technique side, but the masterpiece of Kojima is just amazing. Every game should play this.

What can I say? Deservedly considered one of the best games of the year, but I would say of recent years. The narrative, the setting, the writing ability to make every discovery and every twist magical and capable of thrilling you, the presence of unforgettable characters, already make this game a masterpiece in its own right. Add to that fun gameplay, enhancing turn-based games, inexplicably sidelined by the industry, which have that Souls flavor given by interactive parries and a difficulty level that is not negligible, and the game can be considered complete. In my opinion, it's on the podium with Death Stranding 2 in this beautiful 2025 for the gaming world.

The RPG element is very well done and engaging, immersed in a magical setting. Night City is worth the price of admission. I didn't love the ending, I don't like first-person games, and I didn't find the combat and boss fights to my liking, but I didn't find them problematic either. I'm obviously talking about the Switch 2 version, which doesn't suffer from the problems that existed at launch. An enjoyable, fun experience in a memorable world (which is rare).

For recent Pokémon chapters, it deserves an 8, as it is definitely above average compared to what came after it. Intriguing story, some well-constructed characters, very good and memorable designs and settings, legendary Pokémon that have the flavor of the legendary ones of the past. The London setting is sufficiently breathable in many moments. The best Pokémon game in recent times.

Sufficient because it is the first Pokémon game in an open world of this type, and the novelty and beauty of being able to discover Pokémon freely on an explorable map while riding Miraidon is worth the grade. Furthermore, the enormous graphical problems at launch are overcome by the Switch 2 version, where I played it. However, the plot remains mediocre, which could and should have been better, and the open world is only open but not very “worldly,” lacking in content.

A wasted opportunity. Some aspects are very entertaining and make the game enjoyable, the combat system isn't bad, and the Pokémon designs are excellent. For those who love the Pokémon world, it's worth playing, but the absolute paucity of plot and dialogue, the flatness of the setting, and the total lack of attention to detail, as well as the waste of time and futility of many missions, make the experience very “mediocre.” A wasted opportunity, with one of the most wonderful brands on the market.

It improves on the first chapter, enhancing the gameplay and making the combat style incredibly richer and more customizable, visually stunning and masterful, just like and even more so than the first. The story is definitely better, more understandable and enjoyable. Hornet talks and tells his story as he embarks on this journey, which makes the narrative development more enjoyable. For me, the orientation ability remains a limitation, unnecessarily difficult compared to how well-designed the level design is, not to mention the bosses, which in my opinion are perfect in terms of difficulty. It's true that it's sometimes very punishing, but it pushes you to improve. What can be frustrating, however, is the distance between the benches and the bosses, which in some cases can lead to a waste of time that separates you from the healthy growth that comes with failing and improving, repeating, failing-improving, and repeating. When interspersed with unnecessarily long journeys, it doesn't improve the experience.

A masterpiece of its kind, with wonderful graphics and settings, and incredible level design. It suffers from a difficulty level that, although high, sometimes becomes excessively frustrating, because instead of allowing you to easily repeat and grow, it sometimes pushes you to the limit of your strength. However, the satisfaction of overcoming those difficulties is priceless. The only flaws that prevent it from getting a 9 are the story, which is overly cryptic and not easily accessible without adding anything (this hermeticism) to the game, and the ease of navigation, which I personally found sometimes overly punitive.

What can I say? Wonderful designs, unique in the gaming world, the result of the Moldenhauer brothers' brilliant vision. The gameplay is highly challenging, but it has the ability to push you to challenge yourself and your limits, forcing you to try again 10, 100 times until, with each attempt, what once seemed unattainable becomes more and more possible. This growth of the player, boss after boss, is the key to the game.

Masterful in its genre. A roguelite capable of capturing you in a game loop that you'll find hard to leave once you've finished the game. It's almost addictive. This means incredible game design work. In addition, the setting of this second chapter, with playable Olympus and the underworld, is beautiful, colored by drawings that can only be described as extraordinary. The ending is beautiful, a memorable game.

Striking, extraordinary visual impact. There are breathtaking moments, the setting is experienced firsthand, as if you were really at the foot of Mount Yotei, with only the sound of the wind rustling the tall grass. This alone is worth the price of admission, combined with frenetic and meticulous gameplay that cannot be considered (I would say almost objectively, if this were not a subjective element) incredibly fun. The only flaw is the plot and the characters, which are rather predictable and banal, not living up to the extraordinary context described above. However, they cannot be described as boring or so obstructive that they prevent you from finishing the game, but more could certainly have been done.

The depth of the characters fills every other aspect of the game. The story is compelling, but nothing revolutionary if you are familiar with the genre. What makes this game “historic” and unmissable is the care and love put into writing the characters. Joey and Ellie become part of the player, conveying all their fears, Joey's suffering over his past, and Ellie's uncertainty about the future, as they grow and care for each other throughout the journey. Exceptional gameplay for its time, with clearly improved AI compared to the first version..

The first chapter of an incredible story. In terms of narrative quality and story development, the first chapter marks a significant milestone in the world of video games. The DS universe is dramatic, profound, as distant as it is close to the present day, not in external reality but in the loneliness and pain that marks the characters. Sam and his story, the protagonists of the first chapter, are a fascinating discovery that slowly unfolds under the player's gaze, culminating in a triumph of meaning and emotion at the end, which not only “explains” what you have been wondering about during the journey, but also communicates something important. While the second chapter features improved, more accessible gameplay, here you may encounter minor difficulties and rough edges that may make you turn up your nose, but in my opinion, they are part of the experience, part of those difficulties that will make every journey memorable. It cannot fail to be considered a masterpiece by Kojima, in his first attempt with his production company. It certainly doesn't get a 10 just because of these aspects of the gameplay that could be improved (and were improved in 2).

An exceptional game. It's the second installment, so to fully appreciate and understand it, you need to have played (and loved) the first one. Therefore, those who didn't like the first one or didn't play it at all may not enjoy this one. An extraordinary cast and exceptional game design, as only Kojima knows how to do. The themes touched upon are many, profound, and addressed with sensitivity and delicacy, with little moments here and there that seem crazy but help immerse you in an incredible setting. The gameplay, criticized by many, is not limited to simply “delivering packages,” but is a fundamental element in the development of the plot. Each delivery has meaning and takes place in a world where every detail has been carefully crafted, never empty but always full of stimuli and challenges, apart from the choice of how to approach a journey, which will then reveal itself to be full of pitfalls or breathtaking scenery. The only flaw, in my opinion, is that these journeys have been greatly simplified compared to the first chapter, where you often couldn't travel by vehicle but were forced to travel on foot, braving harsh weather conditions and difficult terrain. This choice certainly makes the game more enjoyable and accessible to a wider audience, but it has taken away some of the magic moments that remained in the heart of the first chapter.
