PEAK is as good as the group of friends you will play it with. It provides you an excellent platform for a co-op experience with potential of many hilarious moment. The rogulike nature of it may drive some people away though.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 - PlayStation 5 - 85
Luglio 7, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/tony-hawks-pro-skater-3-4-pc-ps4-ps5-xbox-one-series-x-s-switch-switch-2/recensione/
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is a great remake. While it plays on nostalgia, the collection also takes advantage of all the skills you can practice during your gaming sessions. The camera issues still persist.

Ruffy and the Riverside - Nintendo Switch - 70
Luglio 7, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/ruffy-and-the-riverside-pc-ps5-xbox-series-x-s-switch/ruffy-and-the-riverside-recensione/
An adventure-platformer that seems to come straight out of the 64bit golden-age.The original “swap system” succeeds in raising the gameplay above average and in bringing to life some truly unique and entertaining puzzle elements. The overflowing “richness” of some levels makes orientation more difficult than it should be and some performance issues would require a technical update from the development team.

Len's Island - PC - 78
Luglio 4, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/lens-island-pc/len-s-island-recensione/
Len's Island is a distinctive mix of survival, ARPG and dungeon crawler. It makes you feel like an explorer grappling with a world that can't wait to be discovered. There are some flaws such as a technical sector that could be improved, but as a start to the adventure it's not bad.

Broken Arrow - PC - 83
Luglio 3, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/broken-arrow-pc/broken-arrow-recensione/
Broken Arrow is a solid RTS that can provide good fun to anyone who’s willing to spend a bit of time studying its systems, but the lack of campaign saves and an occasionally unclear UI are definitely areas where there should be improvements.

GEX Trilogy - PC - 72
Luglio 3, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/gex-trilogy-pc-ps4-ps5-xbox-series-x-s-switch/gex-trilogy-recensione-the-games-machine-tgm/
Gex Trilogy reintroduces the three original chapters of the famous 90s platformer, with accurate emulation and some modern features such as quick saves, rewind, trophies, widescreen support and CRT filter. The first episode, in 2D, is notable for its wall and ceiling walking mechanics, while the two sequels in 3D chase the Super Mario 64 model, losing some of the originality. The constant, dated humor may be repetitive, but the collection remains a solid product for nostalgists and completists, enhanced by extra content such as concept art or interviews with the developers.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess - Switch 2 - 85
Giugno 27, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/kunitsu-gami-path-of-the-goddess-pc-ps4-xbox-one-series-x-s-switch/recensione-switch-2/
If you missed out on this hidden gem from last year, now you have the chance to make up for it and enjoy a Switch 2 version that smells like a definitive edition.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster - PC - 85
Giugno 26, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/system-shock-2-25th-anniversary-remaster-pc-ps4-ps5-xbox-one-series-x-s-switch/system-shock-2-25th-anniversary-remaster-recensione-the-games-machine/
System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster reintroduces the legendary mix of first person shooter, survival horror and role-playing game. It offers a large map to explore, full of interconnected paths and dangers to eliminate with weapons, psionic powers and hacking techniques. The research system adds tactical depth, allowing you to analyze enemies in order to increase their vulnerability. On the technical side, the remaster enhances the experience of the original with targeted refinements such as updated resolution, mod support, fifty achievements and cross-play co-op modes. The magic that made the game a cornerstone is still alive, even if some gameplay mechanics are starting to show their age.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach - PlayStation 5 - 90
Giugno 23, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/death-stranding-2-on-the-beach/death-stranding-2-on-the-beach-recensione/
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach improves on all the gameplay of the first episode and offers breathtaking views, it's a shame for a story that loses a bit of intensity in the central part.

Rematch - PC - 85
Giugno 23, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/rematch-pc-ps5-xbox-series-x-s/rematch/
Rematch is a new and fresh page in the Football (Soccer, for US readers) Video Game History. Slocap has to add some of the lacking feature, especially cross-platform multiplayer, but the game is really challenging and it can become a massive hit.

Deltarune - PC - 90
Giugno 20, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/deltarune-pc-ps4-ps5-switch-switch2/deltarune-recensione/
Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4 is the tangible explanation of why indie is beautiful, as well as being the confirmation that Toby Fox knows how to reinvent the 2D RPG with intelligence and irony like no other. A simply unmissable work, if you consider yourself a gamer.

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 - 87
Giugno 20, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/cyberpunk-2077/cyberpunk-2077-ultimate-edition-recensione-switch-2/
Many thought it almost impossible to bring a “heavy” game like Cyberpunk 2077 to Switch 2 with comforting results, but mission accomplished. Obviously some compromises had to be made that make this version oscillate between those of the old- and new-gen consoles, but overall the CD Projekt behemoth performs more than adequately and proves to be an experience worthy of remaining in history. Instead, the Phantom Liberty expansion suffers a little more than expected.

Lies of P: Overture - PC - 90
Giugno 19, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/lies-of-p-pc-ps4-ps5-xbox-one-series-x/lies-of-p-overture-recensione/
Lies of P: Overture is a valid addition to the base game, in particular because it doesn’t just add new gameplay (enemies, bosses, weapons, Legion arms) but also some very powerful story moments. Wholeheartedly recommended.

MindsEye - PC - 50
Giugno 19, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/mindseye-pc-ps5-xbox-series-xs/recensione/
MindsEye intrigues with its cyber-noir atmospheres but stumbles on many, too many of its promises. Everywhere you look while walking through Redrock City, you see an ambitious action game that shoots for the stars but ends up crashing to the ground.

RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army - PC - 8,8
Giugno 18, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/raidou-remastered-the-mystery-of-the-soulless-army/raidou-remastered-the-mystery-of-the-soulless-army-recensione/
RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is the perfect example of how one should bring a minor classic back to life: without distorting its identity, but updating it with intelligence, respect and a healthy dose of courage. The work done by Atlus is not limited to a coat of HD paint: it is a real redevelopment of the original game, which can now be played with pleasure even by those who have no nostalgia to redeem. The new combat system, more balanced pacing and more modern overall direction breathe new life into a title that, at the time, had brilliant ideas but crude realisation. It's not perfect, nor does it want to be: it's a fascinating piece of a bigger story, a bridge between the old Megaten spirit and its more accessible incarnations. In short, Raidou awaits, fitter than ever, and finally ready to be discovered by all.

FBC: Firebreak - PC - 60
Giugno 18, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/fbc-firebreak/fbc-firebreak-recensione/
FBC: Firebreak is a cooperative spin-off that seems intriguing on paper but unfortunately lacks substantial content. With only five missions—rather simplistic ones at that—unremarkable classes, a limited variety of enemies, and uninspired weapons, the investment of time and money may not be justified. On top of that, the artificially slow progression system is reminiscent of the worst live-service practices. It might have some appeal if played with a close-knit group of friends, but engagement risks being short-lived.

TRON: Catalyst - PC - 68
Giugno 17, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/tron-catalyst/tron-catalyst-recensione/
TRON: Catalyst is sitting in a grey area: Bithell Games are competent in telling us a story, but it’s not enough to be a narrative-driven game, and the combat system is way too poor to make their latest creation a combat game.

SCUM - PC - 80
Giugno 17, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/scum/scum-recensione-the-games-machine-tgm/
SCUM is a highly technical survival sandbox focused on detailed simulation of the human body and resource management. Set in an expansive open world, it features advanced systems for metabolism, thermoregulation, and nutrition, all of which directly affect character performance and abilities. Gameplay alternates between exploration, crafting, vital stat management, and both PvE and PvP combat. The learning curve is steep and the interface not always intuitive, but its unique approach sets it apart in the survival genre, offering a deep and unforgiving experience for the most demanding players.

Split Fiction - Nintendo Switch 2 - 92
Giugno 17, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/split-fiction-pc-ps5-xbox-series-x-s/split-fiction-recensione-switch-2/
A Way Out might have been a lucky shot, but It Takes Two confirmed the talent of Josef Fares and his team in making highly entertaining games often marked by true strokes of genius. Split Fiction remains at the same high level as its predecessors, and even on Nintendo Switch 2 it proves to be an unmissable one... unless you've already experienced it on other platforms due to the lack of any kind of added bonus.

Dune: Awakening - PC - 83
Giugno 16, 2025
https://www.thegamesmachine.it/dune-awakening-pc/dune-awakening-recensione/
An immersive, immense MMO sandbox survival game that captures the fierce and mystical essence of Dune, with a merciless and seductive Arrakis. The combat system is subdued and there are technical uncertainties that limit its potential. But what fun!
