Before playing The Making of Karateka, I had no interest in Karateka beyond it being a historical stepping stone to Prince of Persia. But I get it now. I I see its many parts: The animation that was hand drawn from Jordan Mechner’’s snapshots of his family’s karate instructor; the music that began as a fatherly lesson in Wagner’s leitmotifs; and the cinematic framing of a story that cuts between scenes in a far more complicated way than, say, the “They Meet” cutscene in Ms. Pac-Man. Karateka is significant, but the story behind it is remarkable, and The Making of Karateka tells that story in the coolest way possible.

The Making of Karateka demonstrates a deep-rooted respect of the source material. Most contemporary collections are driven by profits rather than an interest in historical preservation, establishing this as a shining benchmark for single-game curation. Capcom, Konami, it’s time to step it up.

Sea of Stars a tout de l'excellent hommage aux plus grands noms du jeu de rôle japonais des années 90. Une histoire bien rythmée, un casting de personnages auquel on s'attache vite pour leurs personnalités assumées. Il arrive à faire le même travail d'émerveillement que ses modèles, grâce à sa direction artistique à couper le souffle et sa bande-originale parfaite pour l'aventure. Si les combats sont engageants et poussent le joueur à réfléchir à chaque affrontement, ils tendent à allonger la bonne dynamique du titre. C'est surtout par le manque d'évolution de gameplay pour les personnages que les joueurs pourront trouver une certaine lassitude. Si Sea of Stars n'est donc pas autant révolutionnaire que ses maîtres spirituels en leur époque, il devrait tout de même avoir une place de choix sur une étagère de votre ludothèque en 2023. Il risque bien de s'imposer comme le jeu indépendant de l'année si Silksong reste discret voire prétendre à des prix à la concurrence bien plus féroce. Plus qu'une belle performance pour un ovni venu des années 90.

Sea of Stars is an amazing-looking and sounding title that has captured all you love from classic turn-based RPGs and improved upon it. I can’t recommend this game enough; this is how you modernise and pay tribute to a classic genre!

A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.

Sea of Stars is a turn-based RPG inspired by the classics. It tells the story of two Children of the Solstice who will combine the powers of the sun and moon to perform Eclipse Magic, the only force capable of fending off the monstrous creations of the evil alchemist known as The Fleshmancer.

La filosofia produttiva di Sea of Stars può essere descritta con un unico verbo, un unico imperativo categorico: "sfrondare". Come un giardiniere che osserva un albero e sceglie quali rami potare, così Sabotage Studio ha studiato i JRPG del passato per conservarne gli elementi migliori e tagliare via quelli ormai obsoleti. Via i combattimenti casuali, via quell'ingombrante inventario pieno di oggetti mai utilizzati, via l'ossessione per il grinding; si accolgono innesti felici come il sistema di Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, basato sul tempismo e capace di mantenere alto il coinvolgimento del giocatore anche nei confronti dei nemici base, un elemento da padroneggiare al meglio delle proprie possibilità in occasione delle feroci battaglie contro i boss. Lo spettro della ripetitività è in larga parte esorcizzato, ma due protagonisti di singolare piattezza e un range di abilità fin troppo ridotto diminuiscono leggermente la qualità dell'esperienza, senza riuscire però a intaccare un prodotto divertente, magnifico da vedere, da ascoltare, da vivere. Non ci sono scuse per non provare Sea of Stars, disponibile al lancio sia su Game Pass che su PS Plus (e, nonostante questo, ben 100.000 copie del gioco sono state già acquistate). E come è dolce naufragare in questo mare di stelle.

Sea of Stars shows modern RPGs how it's done in this incredible throwback to SNES classics. It’s an absolute joy to play from start to finish, though the story, writing, and flat characters leave some potential untapped. Even so, this is a gorgeous adventure that you won’t want to miss.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central segna un importante ritorno per la serie SEGA, che arriva sulla console più adatta a questo tipo di esperienze e lo fa con un adattamento convincente della formula originale, caratterizzato da un sistema di controllo discretamente preciso e dotato di un certo margine di tolleranza al fine di esaltare la componente "party" e il divertimento fine a sé stesso. I contenuti in particolare non mancano, e così l'esperienza si conferma piacevolissima sia in solitaria che con gli amici, in locale oppure online.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central encaja a la perfección en Nintendo Switch. Sus frenéticos y coloridos modos de juego son el ingrediente perfecto para una tarde con amigos, y aunque echo de menos modos de juego para jugar con un solo par de Joy-Con, si todos tus amigos traen los mandos tienes por delante horas y horas de diversión y risas.

Fang finds comfort in what she cares about the most, both her talent in song and those that have her back. Considering the choices you may make, these two factors always remain at the forefront, and it’s a life lesson we can all take away from it as we look upon our own society as it stands. It could have been broader in its tale, perhaps even a little longer, but I enjoyed watching Fang’s story unfold. Despite Goodbye Volcano High’s technical limitations in places, I’m sure many others looking for a chill but reflective story of love (worm) drama will too.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is an incredible amalgamation of everything the series has done so far, and produces not only the best Trine game yet, but also one of the most enjoyable games I’ve played this year. The freedom we’re granted with the tools on offer is excellent, and combined with stunning presentation, this make Trine 5 utterly essential playing in my eyes.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy es perfecto para novatos, veteranos y aquellos que solo dieron un tiento a alguna precuela por curiosidad. No porque sea accesible, sino porque, en esencia, repite tantas mecánicas, ideas y conceptos de juegos anteriores que da igual en qué momento te subas al tren, el viaje es el mismo, uno muy bueno. Eso sí, si eres un jugador "de los de toda la vida", notarás al momento que aún siendo conservador, Frozenbyte no falla y todo lo que verás en sus 13 horas de juego tiene ese mismo espíritu fanfarrón y simpático de siempre, con puzles divertidos de completar y un cooperativo que se come la experiencia al completo.
