Alan Wake II: the sequel we’ve been waiting for

Pubblicato il da Filippo "Fatum" Barbuscia
Note: This article has been translated from Italian by ChatGPT and may contain errors. Thirteen years. Thirteen years to finally play the sequel to one of the most interesting works of the Xbox 360 era. While I wouldn't place it among my all-time favorite titles, Alan Wake won me over with its captivating story and top-notch technical aspects. In my memories, it remains one of the most beautiful experiences from those years. I can't say the same for Remedy's subsequent productions, with a pl...

Considerations on God of War: Was It Better Before?

Pubblicato il da Filippo "Fatum" Barbuscia
Note: This article has been translated from Italian by ChatGPT and may contain errors. On April 20, 2018, the new God of War was released. Despite some reservations, I was genuinely excited about the change in direction. With Ascension, it was clear that the series was dragging on without a true direction and was in desperate need of a refresh. God of War: The Last of Us version Now, having thoroughly experienced both God of War 2018 and Ragnarök, I realize how these last two chapters ...

The Last Guardian seven years later: an unforgettable special journey

Pubblicato il da Filippo "Fatum" Barbuscia
Note: This article has been translated from Italian by ChatGPT and may contain errors. At the end of March, I wrote a post about BioShock Infinite in which I also mentioned The Last Guardian. Alongside the title by Irrational Games, in fact, the latter is a work that I have always been afraid to revisit. The wonderful and indelible memory of the first, unrepeatable time is at risk of being ruined, in case the emotions do not come as they once did. Because times change, tastes change, people ...

Resident Evil 4 DLC Separate Ways: a perfect piece of the “puzzle”?

Pubblicato il da Filippo "Fatum" Barbuscia
Note: This article has been translated from Italian by ChatGPT and may contain errors. If there's a narrative style I like, it's one where we're shown a story from different perspectives. A bit like the concept behind Resident Evil 6, but also Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways. Just like in the original, this DLC puts us in the shoes of Ada Wong, showing us her adventure parallel to Leon's. Since I really enjoyed this version of Ada, spending 9.99 euros to be in her company seemed like a fair pr...

Resident Evil 4: A Good Remake, an Approachable Platinum

Pubblicato il da Filippo "Fatum" Barbuscia
Note: This article has been translated from Italian by ChatGPT and may contain errors. "Resident Evil 4" stands among the games that have deeply captivated me throughout my gaming journey. Not too long ago, I revisited it, only to find that the emotions it once stirred were not quite the same. Over time, the weight of years has started to become noticeable on this iconic title. The question arises: Has this remake managed to rejuvenate it adequately? The beginning of the game The Era o...

Dead Space Remake on Impossible difficulty: tension at its peak!

Pubblicato il da Filippo "Fatum" Barbuscia
Note: This article has been translated from Italian by ChatGPT and may contain errors. Ever since I decided to challenge myself with the Impossible mode of Dead Space Remake, a thought has been lingering in my mind: I'm not young enough for these things anymore. I mean, apart from the fact that I could have a heart attack at any moment, I'm too old for this nonsense. Yet, in the end, I managed to accomplish the feat of completing the game at this insanely difficult level. So, here's an overv...

Dead Space: an exceptional remake

Pubblicato il da Filippo "Fatum" Barbuscia
Note: This article has been translated from Italian by ChatGPT and may contain errors. It was the summer of 2009, precisely in July, when I decided to purchase a game of a genre that didn't particularly appeal to me and of which I had very little experience. It was a sci-fi horror, its name was Dead Space. Since then, horror became one of my favorite genres, along with the Dead Space series. Therefore, the closure of Visceral Games and the absence of a fourth installment are still a sore poi...

Final Fantasy XVI is my first FF, will it also be the last?

Pubblicato il da Filippo "Fatum" Barbuscia
Note: This article has been translated from Italian by ChatGPT and may contain errors. Intrigued by some comments I read on the web, I made up my mind: I purchased a PS5 and Final Fantasy XVI. After The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, I really needed a linear game strongly focused on the storyline. Furthermore, this is the first installment of the series that I've played. Fire and Flames Video and Gameplay Final Fantasy XVI is somewhat what I expected: lots of lengthy cutscen...

From Nintendo 64 to PS4: the video games with the best graphics in my opinion

Pubblicato il da Filippo "Fatum" Barbuscia
Note: This article has been translated from Italian by ChatGPT and may contain errors. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert in graphics and technical data; I base my opinions solely on the limited perception of my imperfect visual system and, of course, the video games I have personally seen (so the PC platform is excluded, as it would make little sense in any case). In this list of titles, you will find those that, in my subjective opinion, have been the games capable of defining their respective ...

Tears of the Kingdom: What I DON’T like about the Nintendo masterpiece

Pubblicato il da Filippo "Fatum" Barbuscia
Note: This article has been translated from Italian by ChatGPT and may contain errors. Let's delve into some aspects of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, of which I've already written in an article with a final praise. Artistically beautiful, but... There's no need to state the obvious, but it's always better to do so: the Switch is a console of limited power, so seeing a game like Tears of the Kingdom running on it is almost a miracle. However, it's pointless to deny that cer...
