The Operator est sans doute LE jeu d’enquête narratif pas très cher qu’il faut absolument faire cet été. Avec une histoire prenante, une écriture bien ciselée et des énigmes franchement malines, le titre de Bureau 81 est une petite pépite vidéoludique indépendante à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte. Bien qu’il soit court et qu’il subsiste des écueils dans certains éléments de gameplay sous-exploités ainsi que dans l’interface, The Operator est malgré tout toujours prenant. On restera certes sur notre faim vis-à-vis de l’histoire ornée d’un cliffhanger mais qu’importe, l’ambiance immersive et la simplicité de son gameplay nous accrochent jusqu’au bout, tout en restant diablement plaisant du début à la fin.

Puzzle game meets narrative adventure in this funny, beautifully written, indie game whose unusual grid-sliding mechanic is elevated by its characters and story.

Lo ammetto, il giocatore e il “bambino” che sono in me vorrebbero dare un voto più alto, ma devo anche distaccarmi e rendermi conto che nonostante le lievi differenze in termini di trama Earth Defense Force è sempre lo stesso gioco da anni, mentre il livello della componente tecnica è ormai difficile da giustificare. Di contro, se piace l’idea di fermare orde infinite di nemici con l’uso (non) misurato della forza questo è un gioco quasi perfetto. La sensazione di fare la differenza all’interno di un conflitto, l’esaltazione di portare devastazione a livelli esilaranti a orde di nemici è qualcosa dona piacevoli scariche di adrenalina. Se si riesce a superare il fastidio per un comparto tecnico decisamente carente, si tratta di un gioco che offre davvero molto.

Earth Defense Force 6 is a pretty basic game, but what it lacks in complexity, it makes up for in silly fun. Blowing up hordes and buildings with your buddy, using these wildly unbalanced weapons, all while losing our minds anytime the game tries to do cool things in the story, it all makes for an excellent experience in co-op. So really we feel we can only recommend this if you have someone to play with. You’re going to be buying a game that is extremely unpolished but will give you literal hours of laughing together with a friend and that’s worth every penny to be honest. Try EDF6 with a friend if you think this would be appealing to you. Just maybe try playing on PlayStation 4 or 5 instead for the smoother experience.

Nobody Wants to Die’s relatively brief story isn’t a completely original concept, but it has a cool mix of inspirations and unique worldbuilding touches that all work well together to create something new and engaging. There’s a bit too much hand-holding for a game about the art of investigation, but its conversation system picks up the slack with humor, unexpected outcomes, and a surprisingly deep story about how impactful your past can be on your present — even when you’re facing immortality.

Dungeons of Hinterberg proves that it’s always good to step outside of your comfort zone; it went from being not on my radar at all to winning me over almost completely. With brilliantly crafted dungeons, a surprisingly effective social-upgrade mechanic, and some genuinely fun powers to use, there’s a lot to like here once you get past the slower opening sections.

It’s the same old EDF in terms of graphics, gameplay, and the swarm of (mostly intentional) bugs but online co-op and a mountain of content means it still holds a special charm.

Asphalt Legends Unite si conferma un racer arcade sensazionale e rappresenta un importante passo in avanti per la serie Gameloft, che diventa multipiattaforma e introduce nuove modalità multiplayer cross-platform nel tentativo di aumentare ulteriormente la sua già enorme base installata. Portare il gioco anche su PC, PlayStation, Xbox e Nintendo Switch ha ovviamente comportato un impegno non da poco per il team di sviluppo francese, ma dal punto di vista degli utenti iOS e Android più affezionati l'aggiornamento appare inevitabilmente meno corposo di quanto si sperasse.

I think I get it now. Earth Defence Force is like the conventionally unattractive partner you experimented with in your youth. They were so grateful for your attention, and in turn, really knew how to show their appreciation. A genuine guilty pleasure of the kind that you might be a bit sheepish to introduce to friends because they buck the trend of traditional beauty (and they just sound a bit weird). But goddamn it, you grew from having indulged the relationship with the ugly duckling. It’s great coming back to that partner as I settle into adulthood. They don’t give a shit about how they look, are mostly stable, have a pleasant demeanour, and still aim to please by exploding all over my jorts. Reviewed on PS5 // Review code supplied by publisher

Dare un giudizio a Nobody Wants to Die è un vero sforzo. Da un lato la direzione artistica e l’atmosfera sono pressoché perfetti, tra le migliori che abbia mai visto. Dall’altro lato mi sono ritrovato a vedere un gioco che abbandona le sue premesse per diventare qualcosa di introspettivo e caratterizzato da una conclusione che non ho trovato soddisfacente, in ogni modo possa vederla. Ci sono quattro finali nel gioco e non considero positivo nessuno di essi, dal momento che tutta l’ultima parte di gioco risulta fin troppo strana e forzata. Nonostante la sbandata finale, però, il mio giudizio rimane positivo: Nobody Wants to Die è un gioco che merita di essere provato.
