An impeccably detailed and blisteringly fast racer with incredible graphics and rock-solid arcade underpinnings, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 picks up where the surprisingly excellent 2021 original left off. That is, it’s not just the best thing on the breakfast bench since Micro Machines – it’s one of the strongest and most imaginative arcade racers available today. It’s definitely guilty of forgetting to suitably cater to its wide audience at times, it’s stingy on older cars, and it would’ve been a much bigger and better package if it didn’t completely shed its previous track locations, but the last time Mattel had wheels this worthy of a whirl they were welded beneath Ryan Gosling’s rollerblades.

No tengo dudas, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged es uno de los títulos de conducción arcade más divertidos, completos y visualmente más bonitos del mercado. Es una combinación perfecta entre ser un potente elemento de merchandising que bien puede ir en la carta de Papa Noel de los pequeños de la casa y al mismo tiempo, ser un auténtico reto para cualquier jugador exigente. Las posibilidades de personalización, edición de pistas, una campaña completa y los 130 Hot Wheels lo hacen un producto indiscutible. ¡Incluso podremos jugar en cooperativo a Pantalla Partida! Sin embargo, su mayor problema también es su mayor logro. La primera entrega les salió tan bien que no han querido tocar mucho su secuela y para los que llevamos jugando a ella en estos dos años, sentimos que son prácticamente idénticas salvo por el nuevo contenido. No obstante, su bajo precio de salida justifica de sobra su compra si eres fan del primero, pero la advertencia queda hecha.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Turbocharged no es una secuela de obligada compra para aquellos que disfrutaron del primer juego, pero desde luego ha sabido añadir los suficientes alicientes para redondear una fórmula arcade tan divertida como inspiradora. Estamos ante un juego más completo y mejor con unos cuantos caballos más en el motor.

As someone who enjoyed Hot Wheels Unleashed I was excited to give Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged a try and it did not disappoint. Is it more of the same? Yes but every aspect of the game has improved. The new modes and individual car upgrade systems really give some depth to what could have been cash grab reskin of the previous game. Happy to say I don’t think that is the case and I look forward to playing this some more and seeing what kind of DLC awaits us as that is something I thought the first game did well.

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.

Murder on the Orient Express is impressive in its ability to breathe new life into a well-trodden story. Microids Studio Lyon has found a cute gap in the story to slide in its new character, Locke, without her getting in the way. Her tense and serious segments free up Poirot for a bit of comic relief, and the whole game sits with a relaxed atmosphere and pleasant presentation. Puzzles are mixed, but there are enough good ones to drive another enjoyable trip through Agatha Christie’s classic story of mystery, justice, and moral ambiguity.

Endless Dungeon è l’ennesimo buon gioco firmato da Amplitude Studios, questa volta alle prese con un twin-stick shooter dai mille volti che convince sotto tanti aspetti, dal comparto artistico al gameplay, penalizzato invece da alcune scelte che ne hanno limitato parte del potenziale. Il seguito ideale di Dungeon of the Endless è riuscito comunque a condurre la serie verso nuovi e ritrovati generi videoludici, amalgamati insieme con una certa bravura tale da rendere ogni sessione un impegnativo e intrigante viaggio verso l'ignoto. Con una presentazione più raffinata del comparto narrativo e un pizzico in più di varietà, non mi sarei fatto problemi a lodare ulteriormente Endless Dungeon, che pure con le sue imperfezioni sparse resta un'esperienza imperdibile per tutti gli amanti degli sparatutto isometrici dall'anima multiplayer.

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.

World of Horror è un gioco fatto di contraddizioni non sempre risolvibili: da un lato, abbiamo una trama basata sulla presenza nel mondo di orrori indicibili; dall'altro, si passa il gioco a gestire oggetti e statistiche, tentando di assumere un controllo su ciò che dovrebbe essere, per antonomasia, incontrollabile. Nei suoi momenti migliori, World of Horror è un po' come Dark Souls per una persona alle prime armi: un'esperienza difficile e piena di pericoli, in cui stare sempre all'erta, sul chi vive. Nei momenti peggiori, l'opera di pnastasz è fastidiosa per i suoi menu onnipresenti, le sue opzioni mostrate in maniera invasiva, le sue interfacce prolisse, capaci di oscurare quasi del tutto gli scenari, i personaggi, i terribili nemici presenti, talvolta modificati in maniera assolutamente infelice in questa versione definitiva del gioco, a causa delle polemiche legate alla derivatività - o, per i più critici, al vero e proprio plagio - di alcuni lavori del mangaka Junji Itō. World of Horror viaggia tra gli opposti e non trova un bilanciamento, ma resta un'opera interessante per chi vuole sperimentare un'avventura horror fortemente ancorata a certi stilemi dei giochi di ruolo da tavolo e ha una passione per gli orrori squisiti provenienti dal Paese del Sol Levante.
