For more than two decades, the Mafia series has built its reputation on a mix of historical authenticity, grounded storytelling, and cinematic flair. Mafia: The Old Country, developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K, shifts the scene from the American underworld to the less explored early 1900s Sicily – a setting rich with opportunity for both beauty and brutality.

Hidden Memories of The Gardens Between review (Quest)
When The Gardens Between launched back in 2018, its dreamlike mix of friendship-driven storytelling and time manipulation puzzles won hearts, but its magic was bound to a flat screen.

Sengoku Dynasty review (PS5)
After building its audience on PC, Sengoku Dynasty has now made the jump to PlayStation 5, bringing its mix of survival, building, and role-playing elements to console players. Developed by Superkami and published by Toplitz Productions, it offers an ambitious blend of open-world exploration, village management, and period-authentic atmosphere, set in medieval Japan.
