Mario Kart World, Rev Up Your Karts, Mamma Mia!

Nintendo’s videogame history teaches us that preserving tradition is a duty owed to the franchises that made it great, solid milestones like the boulders hurled by Donkey Kong and that uphold the kingdom of the Kyoto house of ideas.

Mafia Terra Madre: when prequels are our thing

I’m going to make you an offer you can’t refuse: trust the past and setting foot in Sicily again will be a glorious homecoming. Words I’d use if I worked for 2K Games and had to introduce the latest effort from Hangar 13 like this, already c

Fatal Fury: City of Wolves, the return of a legendary saga

I remember that little cap all too well.

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, Ryu Hayabusa's 2D fury!

The cascade of coins I poured into the arcade cabinets during those glorious teenage years is something that cannot be defined by a number. Mathematics cannot come to the rescue when it comes to emotions and

The House of The Dead 2 Remake: horror hits the mark again!

I walk into the arcade with my crumpled thousand-lire note in one hand, feeling the ridges of the clothes peg between my fingers, the one my grandmother used to throw down to me from the balcony along with the money to go and “play with the little games.”

Death Stranding 2 On the beach, a courier is forever, even on the beach!

For those who have been chewing through video games for a whole lifetime, like the writer of these lines, the habit of never really getting used to the craziness born from Hideo Kojima’s brilliant mind has become a natural condition. A figure who has managed to balance his on-screen presence with a reserve that borders on the supernatural, the Japanese game designer is shrouded in legend thanks to his most famous video game work, that Metal Gear Solid that managed to conquer generations of gamers with its perfect blend of gripping storytelling, unique action-stealth gameplay, and a series of completely off-the-wall ideas that, in his hands, were accepted as coherent (above all: how to defeat Psycho Mantis on PlayStation).

Okami Sequel! Amaterasu Is About to Be Reborn Once Again

I had heard about it in 2006 when it came out, in those feverish months of Berlin nights and the chaos of football celebrations, but then I forgot about it, culpably, until I played it the following year on my PlayStation2, forgive me if I’m going from memory.

Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, a world to explore, a title to (re)discover

Science fiction has far more in common with the fantasy genre than one might imagine: though they branch off in different directions, both originate from the vast narrative reservoir of the fantastic, where the ability to imagine worlds and skies crossed by dragons goes hand in hand with the trail of warships racing along intergalactic routes.

Lunar Remastered, the return of two timeless masterpieces

The writer grew up on bread, comics, and tons of Japanese role-playing games, a definition that has always struck me as a bit too snobbish, to be honest, but the point is another: Nintendo knows perfectly well how to tickle the refined palate of millennial gamers, and it probably loves me very much.

Monster Hunter Wilds! Wild Nature with Capcom

In the history of video games, the idea of revolution has almost always started from an innovative idea, the creative spark capable of shaking up the status quo of the moment and setting new standards for the games to come. Sometimes, precisely in order to rebuild a genre and give its distinctive elements a fresh new look, one that can still amaze as it once did, it is necessary to dismantle its foundations and rethink everything from scratch. By vol

Kingdom Come Deliverance II: Let the realm of the sword come... again!

The dirt beneath our boots, the edge of a sword forged for war dripping with blood and wounded pride, shattered helmets rolling away, and battles that put nations and cultures to the torch: all this was Kingdom Come Deliverance, and

Sid Meier’s Civilization 7: Let’s Play with History

The process of civilizing the first societies of men and women, united for reasons of survival against fierce predators and the dim nights lit by the discovery of fire, certainly cannot be fully understood thanks to a video game: for that, there are schoolbooks and teachers. However, I would be lying if I told you that learning English, during my teenage years, was much easier for me by playing Final Fantasy VII, dramatically not localized and without translation: inevitably, I learned the language thanks to Cloud and Tifa. So why not give similar credit to Sid Meier’s most iconic series as well, that Civilization that puts us in the role of presidents, dictators, and merchants, managing our nation to bring it to eternal glory? With the arrival (scheduled for today: February 11) in 2025 of Sid Meier’s Civilization VII in grand style on almost all existing platforms and consoles, the world of turn-based strategy will add another fundamental piece, one that is also destined to make History. In every sense.

Ghost of Yotei: the Bushido ghost returns, and it will be vengeance

The code of Bushido leaves no room for doubt: when you face an opponent stronger than you, you cannot back away from the fight and must see it through to the end, whether it means life or death, victory and glory or eternal oblivion.

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond Beyond Space, the Legend Returns!

A winning team doesn’t change. It is one of the fundamental rules in every field, sports included: even in the world of video games, replacing one development team with another has not always paid off when dealing with the new iteration of this

Fraternauts on the attack!

In the multiverse of possible and imaginable worlds, and therefore even beyond the video game boundaries drawn by the consoles we love so much, hero duos always work wonders, especially if they differ both physically and in terms of psychological characterization.

Dragon Age The Veilguard

The title of “prototype of the modern role-playing video game” of the twenty-first century is notoriously awarded to Skyrim, the latest chapter released chronologically in the Elder Scrolls saga, as we all know.

When Life is Strange touched our creamy hearts in 2015, the studio Don’t Nod (don’t nod, I can see you!) rose to international prominence with gameplay different from the standard to which adventures had accustomed us up to that point, made of
