A Plague Tale: Requiem is a game with an identity crisis, something that can't be said about Innocence. The sequel tries to do something that it ultimately can't and that, at least personally, I don't want it to do. It's not a bad game and it certainly offers an interesting adventure, but unfortunately it doesn't take that step that I expected.

The Medium is a Silent Hill tribute, trying to keep the survival horror genre alive in the absolutely old-fashioned way; during the approximately 6-7 hours it lasts, you will see an interesting script, superficial character presentation, some beautiful set pieces and ambitious mechanisms that, however, scrape and do not go deeper; it is not a bad game and of course I suggest it to fans of the genre.

Atomic Heart is not the Soviet BioShock, as many are quick to label it, because to "be" BioShock, you need to do everything as well as Irrational Games' masterpiece did. However, it's a game that very much wants to be like BioShock and indeed in many parts it draws clear influences from the creation of Kevin Levine. So, those of you who like this kind of "thinking FPS", with strange content and setting that your eye is not used to, you may find something very interesting in Atomic Heart, which is already leaving its touch in the industry for many pleasant and also for many not so pleasant reasons.

The Callisto Protocol is a game that can be divisive. I think that fans of the genre, like myself, will accept and enjoy it, since overall it gives an decent sci-fi survival horror adventure, which does not reinvent the wheel, but knows how to win over space horror fans. The rest of you who aren't crazy about the theme and setting would do well to stay away as there are better games out there to invest your time and money into.

Firstly, read the whole review to draw safer conclusions. Secondly, those of you who have a good PC, although you will not play the next polished diamond in the industry, will at least be able to enjoy it to the fullest extent possible. Those of you who have a PS5 and Xbox Series X expect the big next-gen patch to come sometime in 2021. Those of you who have a PS4 and Xbox One, ignore it for now. Yes, Cyberpunk 2077 is, in its backbone, a very good game, but it was not ready at all. CD Projekt RED just shot itself in the leg...

Forza Motorsport is coming back a bit lazily and not as grandly as one might expect after six years. It's still an excellent and all-around improved chapter, but it shows some signs of stagnation, such as the lifeless Career and the not-so-"revolutionary" visuals that Turn 10 promised during the title's marketing campaign. In conclusion and in very simple words, those of you who have played Forza Motorsport 7 know more or less what to expect. One thing's for sure, if you love Forza Motorsport, you'll love this too.

Phantom Liberty is CD Projekt RED's big apology to everyone, but it's also the imposition of an evil stubbornness that runs through the company and, more importantly, its developers. The expansion is one of the best experiences you'll have this year, even if you didn't like the original game. It's a chant that can be heard from Poland from all corners of the gaming planet. Now is the right and proper time to enjoy Cyberpunk 2077. And keep your eyes on Songbird! Protect it at all costs!

Signalis is an indie triumph, a grand tribute to the golden age of survival horror, with a "small body" but a "huge soul". It is a game that will plunge players deep into dark paths of the human soul and bathe them in emotions that will touch them like few games. You shouldn't miss it!

Return to Monkey Island is the "big" dot in a "small", sweet franchise of our memories. Monkey Island has grown within us, grown with us. These aren't games that can easily captivate anyone today. A little poorer than what one expects from a finale, a little special in its aesthetics, but at least it's as crazy, as innocent and as clever as before. So I say goodbye to the most beautiful memory of my childhood with a tear and a smile. See you at sea old friend Guybrush…

Stray doesn't try to impress anyone, it's not full of fanfare, neither gameplay, nor design, and ultimately delivers a genuinely silent adventure with a Playdead-esque approach. It is a spare, thoughtful, smart and modern video game that questions, worries and sounds the alarm in a quiet and down-to-earth way. The title of the small French studio is not just a game starring a cat. It's something so much more that this year it's going to feature on many best games of 2022 lists…

Dying Light 2: Stay Human is basically a good game, but with weaknesses. Many times it loses its orientation, suffers from repetition, the script has ups and downs but it continues to be an enjoyable RPG, with solid mechanisms, endless content to explore and intense moments of stress. Fans of zombies and the first Dying Light, should invest.

I dare to say that this is the real and promising return of Halo. The game is not perfect, the open world has many weaknesses, while some things like co-op are absent, at least during the release. However, the campaign is well-written, well-structured and well-crafted. After much outcry and endless questioning by all of us, 343 Industries and Microsoft seem to have succeeded…

Metroid: Dread is not only a good game, but it's also a great Metroid. This is an important moment for one of the longest-running franchises in the history of the medium, which we hope will mark the much-deserved comeback of the series. <br />

Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is not just an upgraded version of Sucker Punch's excellent game, but it also brings to the table some very welcome additions. Apart from the technical improvements, it stands out for the new, very interesting main story expansion that I think every fan of the base game should experience.

Returnal is an inhospitable, hardcore and highly addictive rogue like shooter that is a contender for game of the year early on. Unfortunately, it is not a title that everyone can enjoy, since it belongs to a very "difficult" category that requires a lot of dedication from the players. In addition, I consider it a bad move by Sony to price this release at €80, not because it is not worth it, but because this amount is not consistent with the indie heart that beats inside...

Το It Takes Two, χωρίς να είναι αψεγάδιαστο, είναι κατά την άποψή μου το "τέλειο" βιντεοπαιχνίδι. Εκτός από ένα ξέφρενο, πλούσιο, εθιστικό και καλοστημένο gameplay, πραγματεύεται ένα πολύ ευαίσθητο και σοβαρό θέμα και το επικοινωνεί χειρουργικά και με αριστουργηματικό τρόπο. Μπορώ με ευκολία να πω πως θέτει ήδη υποψηφιότητα για να μπει στις λίστες με τα καλύτερα παιχνίδια της τρέχουσας χρονιάς και αδιαμφισβήτητα είναι το καλύτερο co-op παιχνίδι που θα παίξετε τελευταία! Τα ζευγάρια και δει, τα ζευγάρια με παιδί(ά), παίξτε το.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure, although it initially didn't wink at me, ultimately disproved me in the most humiliating way. Sumo Digital's platformer brought back memories of the original LittleBigPlanet and overall delivers a very fun and enjoyable 10 hours, which you can experience together with three other friends.

The remake of Demon's Souls can now enter the "pantheon" of the greatest remakes in the history of the medium. It offers a genuine, hardcore experience that respects the original creation, without seriously harming the trunk and character of Miyazaki's masterpiece.

Astro's Playroom is the best first touch anyone can have with the next-gen capabilities of the PS5. And It's not just a free demo of the console but a damn fine and entertaining platform game filled with a nostalgia trip inside the history of PlayStation.
