Double Dragon Gaiden is beholden to some unique ideas, and they’re fairly well-applied. You can experiment with mix-ups and tag team advantages, and multiplayer makes things altogether more enjoyable, although it’s restricted to local co-op. But, being associated with Double Dragon is arguably to its detriment. It’s a game that has secrets to uncover, twists to happen upon, and plenty of cash grinding and unlocking to do. While initially fun to work through, how many times you’ll feel encouraged to replay the campaign is questionable, especially with its overall pacing and neutered thrill of brutally knee-slamming someone in the face. Still, it’s certainly worthy of attention for beat 'em up fans looking for old things in new forms.

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons blends experimental elements with traditional Double Dragon gameplay. The roguelite design and the changing level structures encourage the player to complete the game multiple times to unlock all the additional characters to create experiences that feel less repetitive. This is a novel idea that works well for a couple playthroughs, but it can’t save things from feeling redundant forever. It’s fun for a couple playthroughs and does well at recreating the classic beat ’em up gameplay. Unfortunately, it also showcases the limitations of the genre, and even with the innovation approach the developers used to make subsequent play sessions different, most players will likely get their fill long before unlocking all thirteen additional fighters.

A conti fatti, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons ci ha catturato con il suo impianto ludico a metà tra tradizione e innovazione e ha saputo regalarci diverse ore di spensierato divertimento. Non è un titolo perfetto e forse non raggiungerà le vette toccate dal quarto capitolo di Streets of Rage ma è comunque bello vedere una serie tanto importante risorgere dalle proprie ceneri offrendo sia ai neofiti che ai fan storici l'occasione per tornare a impersonare i fratelli Lee e i loro compagni. Se siete estimatori del genere dei picchiaduro a scorrimento, dovreste assolutamente dargli una possibilità.

Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

Disney Illusion Island is a great all-ages platform-adventure that works hard to appeal to players of any skill level. Even those finding it too easy should be able to enjoy kicking back with the Disney cast, all of which are well animated with their personality shining through in every movement. The large number of areas can feel a bit samey after a while, and a few more enemy types would have been appreciated, but the escalating difficulty and variety of rooms and secrets makes it hard to get bored. The map tracking of collectibles makes it hard to resist going back to explore and clean up an area, and even after beating the game there can easily be a few sections left half-done. It’s a huge amount of fun to get Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy together in a single large platforming adventure, and Illusion Island doesn’t waste the opportunity to play with its cast of beloved characters.

Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara is a very cutesy platforming game that does it’s job surprisingly well. The “speed tech” taught is simple but effective and the variety of level types was a pleasant surprise. The art style and the story are nothing to write home about and certainly won’t appeal to all but platforming fans who admire gameplay are encouraged to give the pirates a run for their money. It doesn’t really overstay it’s welcome (underwater levels aside) and the levels feel bite-sized which was nice. A fun game to just pick up and play for bits at a time.

Patti chiari e amicizia molto lunga: Disney Illusion Island è un gioco di piattaforme avventuroso, che riprende l’idea generale dei metroidvania, annacquandola quanto basta per renderla adatta a un pubblico giovane o inesperto. Chi ha già dimestichezza, troverà poco pane in cui affondare i denti. Chi invece muove i primi passi e ha qualche amico o famigliare con cui giocare, si divertirà un bel po’. Però relegare Topolino, Minni, Paperino e Pippo a dimensioni lillipuziane è davvero un peccato capitale e la banalità delle ambientazioni non migliora la situazione.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a solid entry in the studio’s long-running series of narrative-driven games. The episodes look great, and Cara Gee’s performance as the main character is excellent, helping to recreate the feel of the television series even when the most of the regular characters from the show are absent. The game struggles to find engaging mechanics outside of its dialogue scenes, relying too heavily on quicktime events and mediocre movement challenges. But the story and choices you make work well enough that these are minor faults.
