Bloodshore non risolleva certo la nomea storica che i videogiochi in FMV si sono fatti nel corso del tempo. Si tratta di in buona sostanza di un film interattivo nel quale l'unità attività ludica è la selezione delle scelte del protagonista, al centro di bivi narrativi non particolarmente frequenti e che solo in determinati casi sembrano avere un reale peso sullo sviluppo della vicenda. La storia, nonostante poggi su basi tutt'altro che originali, risulta funzionale alle finalità della produzione, sebbene il suo sviluppo appaia fin troppo frettoloso, tanto da indebolire i colpi di scena che caratterizzano le fasi avanzate dell’avventura. La rigiocabilità è comunque assicurata dalla presenza di diverse centinaia di sequenze da sbloccare e di finali alternativi, sebbene il destino di certi personaggi e lo sviluppo di alcune vicende sia sostanzialmente immodificabile. I filmati FMV sono comunque ben realizzati e le musiche di sottofondo garantiscono la giusta atmosfera, ma difficilmente vi faranno chiudere un occhio sulle fasi d’azione poco adrenaliniche, tra l'altro meno frequenti di quanto fosse lecito aspettarsi in un titolo con queste premesse narrative. In definitiva, Bloodshore è un titolo capace di offrire qualche sussulto di nostalgia ai fan delle vecchie produzione in FMV, con una proposta che risulta però tutt'altro che memorabile.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Turbocharged no pretende reinventar la rueda, dado que su fórmula arcade alocada les funcionó perfectamente en su primera parte gracias a un uso divertido de los derrapes y el nitro.

En su estilo de conducción no hay refinamiento, pero sí algún añadido como la posibilidad de saltar o embestir a los rivales a nuestro lado. Lo suficiente para el fan de estos vehículos en miniatura que sigue beneficiándose de un completo editor de pistas y carreras multijugador.

Laika: Aged Through Blood is an unrelenting motorcycle ride through a bloody wasteland with one of the most unique and compelling spins on the metroidvania genre. It expertly blends ruthless death-defying combat with a beautiful hand-painted side scrolling world with a riveting story of revenge, desperation, and survival. Though uncompromising in its insistence that you quickly become adept at handling your bike in addition to taking on multiple threats, a heaping helping of checkpoints guarantees revenge is always within striking distance. If you’ve ever considered yourself a fan of exploring and platforming across 2D landscapes, you’ll find these open roads well worth your time.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Turbocharged suit la route tracée par son ainé et franchit un petit palier. La formule n’est pas révolutionnée, mais les ajouts sont suffisamment pertinents pour nous donner envie de nous replonger dans l'univers de Milestone. Les sensations sont toujours au top, on adhère à ce feeling arcade à l’ancienne et sa conduite nerveuse, et que dire de la quantité / qualité du contenu proposé ? Quand on voit son petit prix (moins de 50 billets), difficile de ne pas céder à la tentation. Certes, les anciens joueurs n’auront pas l’effet waouh de la surprise, mais ils redécouvriront tout de même une production soignée et généreuse.

In Laika: Aged Through Blood überwindet ihr Hindernisse auf einem Motorrad, während ihr gleichzeitig eine Überzahl Gegner ausradiert und allerlei coole Stunts aufführt. Das selbsternannte Motorvania erzählt eine düstere, blutige Geschichte, beeindruckt mit grandiosem Artwork und schwächelt etwas an seiner suboptimalen Karte, zu viel Ressourcen-Grind und einem Schwierigkeitsgrad, der unerfahrene Spieler abschreckt.

It requires an almost brash confidence to mash up a twin-stick shooter with a tower defense game, and then further mix that into a sci-fi roguelite. But somehow Endless Dungeon pulls it off, blending them all seamlessly into a great package that strikes just the right balance of action, strategy, and rewarding progression. It can occasionally be frustrating when the random elements stack the deck completely against you, but strong persistent upgrade options make each run still feel like you’ve accomplished something. With a great cast of heroes, a deep roster of monsters, and stellar co-op, Endless Dungeon is an audacious blend that’s worth opening that next door to find.

Endless Dungeon will have players coming for the unique blend of rip-roaring action and tower defense, but what should keep them around is the impressive and lovable cast of characters, along with their various stories to become invested in. But whether you want gunplay, strategy, exploration or story, this is a game can provide it all in one simple-yet-deep package, making for a terrific experience that’s not to be missed out on. Now to get back to helping the bartenders find that drink recipe among the piles of bug corpses…

Fondere il genere rogue-like al tower defence può essere insidioso, ma Amplitude Studios è riuscito a trovare una formula tecnica estremamente efficace ed appagante, quindi l’ha accompagnata con un’ambientazione gradevole e che non viene mai a noi, quella dello sci-fi western. Endless Dungeon non può vantare il carisma e i traguardi artistici di capolavori quali Hades, tuttavia le sue qualità sono comunque sufficienti da meritarsi onore e plauso. Se siete alla ricerca di un titolo da giocare con qualche amico, volete testare le vostre abilità tattico-gestionali e desiderate ardentemente sparare a mostri alieni, questo è sicuramente il gioco che fa per voi.

Endless Dungeon est un Rogue Like / Tower Defense incroyablement intelligent. Le jeu propose un univers réussi, tant au niveau du gameplay proposé que de la direction artistique choisie par les développeurs. On salue franchement le mélange de genre qui fait mouche et qui s’avère réellement complémentaire. On apprécie également la coopération mise en place qui apporte une réelle plus-value. On regrette simplement l’absence de l’une ou l’autre possibilité en ligne ainsi que le bug qui nous aura freiné dans notre progression, mais pour le reste, c’est pratiquement un sans-faute !

Cavern of Dreams is a charming N64-inspired platformer with plenty of heart. Its controls and movement may not be as fluid and reliable as they arguably should be (especially in its early hours), and its lack of much in the way of story is a bit disappointing. Yet despite the shortcomings, it remains fun to play. The act of exploring and tracking down collectibles is a tried and tested gameplay loop, and thankfully, Cavern of Dreams provides wacky worlds littered with secrets to uncover, as well some surprisingly engaging challenges. If you’re nostalgic for the era of early 3D mascot platformers, or perhaps just want a short and sweet six to eight hour adventure to sink your teeth into, then spelunking in the Cavern of Dreams is not a bad option.

In all, Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue isn’t a game that I would see as a thriller. It’s more of a social sim that spans over 160+ days. The moment things start heating up you would have to put in at least 3 hours, and that’s if you can endure all the constant days where you force yourself to make boring conversations with the other contestants. The writing itself feels very boring/rushed, the endings feel unfair to the characters in terms of how to reach them, and the story itself doesn’t prove to be exciting to me. It was as though I was only playing filler in order to reach pieces of the main course. After my time playing, the colorful cast and VA’s were the saving grace during my island experience.
