Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE realizza pienamente quanto auspicato dai propri creatori, le stesse geniali (e un po' contorte) menti dietro la saga di Danganronpa. Nel raccogliere tale eredità, l'avventura di Yuma e Shinigami è un avvincente racconto giallo, ricco di fascino e spunti di riflessione, coadiuvato dall'eccentricità di alcune (parecchie) sue idee. Il risultato finale è una miscela affascinante e peculiare che attinge tanto da Phoenix Wright quanto da Persona, pur preservando un'identità ben specifica anche al netto di qualche incertezza tecnica ed una verbosità a tratti significativa. Un raro e fulgido esempio della creatività e dell'estro squisitamente giapponesi: probabilmente non un prodotto per tutti, ma inestimabile proprio per la sua fiera unicità. PRO Scrittura attenta, gratificante ed affascinante | La traduzione in italiano è un valore aggiunto considerevole, visto il genere | Presentazione ricca di personalità, dalla direzione artistica alle musiche | CONTRO Perlopiù si legge e si usa la logica, non vi aspettate molto altro | A livello tecnico il titolo ha alcune incertezze | Le sidequest potevano dare di più |

Gravity Circuit (grapple) hooked me after I threw caution to the wind. First playthroughs inherently emphasize caution, which means that truly appreciating the game will take some time. If you’re willing to put in the effort, you’ll find a game that twists old ideas in a fresh and fun direction.

Mega Man et Zero n’ont qu’à bien se tenir, la relève est là en la personne de Kai. Si le charisme du bonhomme est loin de celui des deux légendes, tout ce qui touche au game design de Gravity Circuit force le respect et n’a rien à envier à ses modèles. Les développeurs ont pris tout ce qui se faisait de mieux dans la franchise de Capcom, avec quelques prises chez d’autres grands noms de l’arcade. Il en ressort une remarquable expérience qui parvient à retranscrire les gratifiantes sensations des références convoquées. Mais sans oublier de faire évoluer les mécaniques pour aller encore plus loin. Si vous aimez la série Mega Man, foncez sur Gravity Circuit c’est excellent.

Writing this conclusion brings a tear to my eye; on one hand, Layers of Fear looks beautiful, controls well and does give you a sense of horror. But then there is the gameplay loop – as I started playing I noticed more and more that Layers of Fear relies more on walking and looking than traditional horror gameplay. After about 30 minutes of picking notes up to “read” (the voice acting was excellent), I was disappointed. I wanted/thought more would happen. My interest did pick up once we got the lantern, however, that was short-lived. Some of the puzzles were good but overall I was left very short-changed and rather let down by what I got (or didn’t get) out of it.

Part homage, part sequel/reboot, Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission is a return to what we loved about the arcade games, but now in VR for a new layer of immersion. While it’s relatively short, it’s a lot of fun and serves perfectly to introduce new players to the medium.

Operation Wolf Returns no es la puesta al día de la fórmula clásica que muchos esperábamos, y entre que es un juego corto y resulta bastante genérico como juego de acción en realidad virtual, no aprovecha la oportunidad para traer de vuelta una recordada licencia de los años 80.

While the similarities with its predecessor can make Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals feel too familiar, highlighting a few missed opportunities for expansion of its puzzle mechanics and for fresh worldbuilding, it still creates an intimate but epic adventure. The world is built out just enough to feel fresh and to lead you to some unexpected and surprising places. However, its real strengths are its characters. Riley’s story is a standout, but she and Jacob come together to form a bond that carries you through to the (possibly) bitter end. The choice is yours.

Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals feels like an evolution of its predecessor. It presents us with a new perspective of both Edward’s Island and Camena that both add to the overall mystery of the paranormal world they reside in but also keep to the series’ down-to-earth storytelling.

While Oxenfree II: Lost Signals doesn’t hit the same heights as the original game, it still delivers another enjoyable adventure, once again serving up another unique ghost story that uses haunted technology to great effect, which succeeds thanks to terrific dialogue and well-crafted characters. Camena may be quite similar to Edwards Island in a lot of ways, but it still plays hosts to a nicely spooky trip more than worth taking, especially for fans of the first title.

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is an excellent sequel that takes the story in a significantly different direction without losing what made the original such an essential piece of storytelling. The sharper focus on fewer characters makes for a much better-paced experience without the need to juggle multiple relationships. Pacing issues do crop up if you happen to take a wrong turn but, in spite of that, Oxenfree II still provides an intriguing, suspenseful mystery that fans and newcomers will both adore. Be sure to play the original first, though.

Despite being held back by neglected gameplay elements and an overeager narrative, Oxenfree II: Lost Signals still offers an enjoyable experience.
