Fear the Spotlight regala agli appassionati di film e videogiochi dell'orrore cinque ore piacevoli (forse fin troppo visto che parliamo di un horror) da spendere in una storia semplice, capace di rileggere i classici, con delle trovate visive interessanti e una progressione magnifica. Anche l'estetica è perfettamente a metà tra il ricordo dei titoli PlayStation e una resa moderna. Il suo romanticismo di fondo, e una dinamica degli scontri non proprio a fuoco, gli impedisce di far davvero paura, ma riesce a toccare tematiche fastidiose e a inquietare con qualche immagine azzeccata. È la prima produzione di un progetto ambizioso che è anche una ventata d'aria fresca nel panorama dei videogiochi indipendenti, e non vediamo l'ora di scoprire gli altri titoli che compongono la visione di Blumhouse Games. Questa, intanto, è una storia a lieto fine.

A fun mix of PS1 era horror nostalgia and Life Is Strange style emotional drama, that goes a little too light on the scares but is still a compelling mix of influences.

AWAKEN - Astral Blade AWAKEN – Astral Blade è un buonissimo metroidvania, con un gameplay che seppur derivativo riesce ad essere appagante, a maggior ragione se cercate un'esperienza più leggera rispetto agli standard a cui il sotto-genere ci ha abituati. Ma soprattutto, il titolo di Dark Pigeon Games arriva sul mercato con un timing perfetto. Oggi, non è solo un'avventura di fantascienza, ma una meditazione profonda su libertà, identità e sul significato dell'umanità in un periodo dove il confine tra reale e artificiale si sta assottigliando sempre più, in cui il confine sta diventando sempre più labile. PRO Gameplay reattivo ed immediato, con un ritmo impeccabile | Presentazione visiva peculiare | Narrativa affascinante | CONTRO Struttura molto semplice e lineare, soprattutto per il sotto-genere di riferimento | Comparto sonoro appena sufficiente |

The Lake House DLC is another spectacular and spooky slice of Alan Wake II action. It introduces some fantastic new supporting characters to the Remedy Connected Universe, as well as a terrifying new enemy type to overcome and some wonderfully eerie environments to explore. The challenge of its puzzles may be light, but its combat is still chillingly dark even despite the fact it’s not hugely different from that of the main game, and scouring for the many notes, videos, and audio recordings littered throughout its fear-inducing facility made for a genuinely gripping investigation. Funny, frightening, and full of surprises, The Lake House DLC is a tightly paced slice of psychological horror that serves as an absorbing addendum to Alan Wake II.

Awaken - Astral Blade delivers flashes of promise with its boss battles and combat mechanics but ultimately suffers from repetitive enemies, lackluster exploration, and a weak narrative. While the game has its moments, it fails to reach the heights of other China Hero Project titles.

Awaken Astral Blade conjugue le classique du metroidvania à quelques variations maison bien senties. Même s’il ne se démarque pas entièrement de la concurrence, Awaken Astral Blade vaut le coup d’œil.

With its great atmosphere and tight story pacing, Alan Wake 2: The Lake House retains the same elements that made the base game so engaging. The lack of significant new mechanics and its very short length, however, make it a worthwhile purchase only for the most die-hard fans of Alan Wake 2 and the Remedy Connected Universe.

Wildermyth is unlike anything else on the market. A roleplaying game that really emphasizes embodying a character and a story, that also happens to have a good combat system in there. Quickly repeating story elements diminishes that vision a bit, but there is still so much that the game understands about generating drama and investment – this is a must-play that I hope gets a refined and honed sequel.

Setting a Metroidvania-style platforming adventure against a backdrop of building-razing beasts is certainly an intriguing idea, but unlike its towering cast of kaiju cameos, Kong: Survivor Instinct itself simply doesn’t measure up. Its story and characters are underwritten, its ravaged urban playground is eye-catching but not particularly surprising to explore, and its combat fails to evolve enough to keep the fights interesting over the course of the journey. The occasional room-rocking escape sequences do literally shake things up, but they’re few and far between and only distract from the otherwise uncomplicated platforming for short bursts at a time. Kong and his kind may hail from an alternate world hidden deep inside the Earth’s core, but the actual gameplay of Kong: Survivor Instinct is strictly one-dimensional.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is a great two-for-one deal, but for us, the antihero's half of the package steals the show. While the remaster of the 13-year-old platformer is perfectly fine, Shadow's brand new campaign outshines it with much improved gameplay and level design. The older game definitely shows its age in some regards, but bundling together one of the most beloved Sonic titles with one of the best 3D entries in recent memory makes for a compelling double feature.

Sonic x Shadow Generations ties past, present, and future together for a comprehensive view of Sonic’s appeal. If Sonic Generations signaled a conservative era for Sonic stuck in the past, Shadow Generation signals an exciting future of new ideas and stories that matter.
