Lost Words: Beyond the Page is a beautiful and moving interactive story that I highly recommend to anyone who appreciates titles that leave something behind after playing them and that manage to convey feelings and emotions even with simple gameplay, which nevertheless proves damn effective for that the developers wanted to achieve. If you are looking for a high level of challenge you certainly won’t be satisfied by this production, which is by choice accessible and comforting, also suitable for children while dealing with very mature topics and themes.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is an excellent free update for those who already owned the old-gen version of the title, with improved framerate and resolution and considering the low price it’s also the perfect opportunity to buy it for those who had only the next-gen consoles and hasn't had a chance to try the game on PS4 or Xbox One. The difficulty in classic mode is really hard and will give even the most experienced players a hard time while the modern one, with checkpoints, is suitable for all types of players and the amount of hours of fun guaranteed by this new chapter of Crash Bandicoot, between main and secondary levels, is really high.

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 4 is a title that will make all fans of the genre happy and still proves to be a good game even for those who want to approach this motorcycle discipline only now, as long as they have the patience to learn the fundamentals of motocross losing many of the first races and struggling a lot, considering the steep learning curve and an excellent AI that certainly does not facilitate easy victories for beginners. A title that doesn’t make significant progress in the franchise, considering the cross-gen nature of the production but which is confirmed on good levels and which certainly deserves to be recommended to those who want an excellent amount of content and that makes good use of the official licenses available with official tracks and motorbikes and an impressive amount of personalization of the riders' uniforms and of the motorcycle components.

Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is in all respects a great expansion of the first chapter, with new tracks, new stadiums and vehicles but with few differences from its predecessor. A game that remains appreciated by lovers of the genre and fans of monster trucks, and which may deserve an opportunity even given the budget price at which it’s sold since launch. We aren’t facing a masterpiece or an unmissable car game, but it’s a title that, even considering the practically non-existent competition regarding video games dedicated to these steel giants, will certainly be able to satisfy fans of this sport.

The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav is an excellent graphic adventure, which we would like to recommend both to novices of the genre and to those who are experienced in this type of games. A game that considering its nature it’s not affected by the passing of the years and indeed is definitely in line with the most recent productions of this genre and which presents a well-written and scripted plot and a dozen hours of puzzles and funny gags between the two protagonists and which can also be appreciated with a joypad in hand and not only in its PC version with mouse and keyboard.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Hearthblood is a game that manages only at a narrative level to make a worthy use of the prestigious brand of Werewolf: The Apocalypse. At the level of gameplay it performs a sufficient task without ever taking risks and with only sketchy RPG options while at a technical level, despite not having particular bugs, it never reaches an adequate yield for the platforms on which the title is launched. A game that we recommend at full price only to those who love in a visceral way the settings of the World of Darkness and the paper RPG Werewolf: The Apocalypse published by White Wolf, while lovers of action RPGs should think about it only after a drastic drop in price.

Control Ultimate Edition is a title that you absolutely must retrieve, if you have not had the opportunity to play it on old-gen consoles yet. One of the best productions, on an artistic, technical and narrative level, by Remedy Entertainment. It boasts a well-scripted plot, full of twists; a gameplay that can truly amaze, which offers the players multiple opportunities thanks to the combination of Jesse's different powers. If, on the other hand, you have already played the Xbox One or PS4 version, it is certainly worth giving it a thought, especially considering it being free in the February PS5 PlayStation Plus list, and the bargain price that practically amounts to the previous retail price of the DLCs alone.

The Medium is the best work of the Polish guys from Bloober Team. It is a valid horror game, both on a narrative and on a graphic level. Moreover, it is enriched by the novelty - gameplay-wise - brought by Dual Reality, which lets the game rejuvenate the genre via new types of puzzles.

Project Winter is an excellent title for those who love this type of multiplayer games, which also thanks to the Game Pass will really provide many hours of fun in the company of friends or strangers. The games are varied and fun thanks above all to the need to interpret, even vocally, one's characters and having to conceal one's identity when one is a traitor. Given the presence in the Game Pass and the non-prohibitive price, I absolutely recommend everyone to give this product a chance. In our hours of testing, mainly played with foreign players who played on PC, we really got to see a myriad of fun and satisfying situations, and also to insult ourselves a little, because we know that when there are betrayals involved, even if in the game, you have to be careful not to ruin friendships (obviously, I’m joking).

I can only recommend to anyone who loved the first chapter the purchase of The Last of Us Part II and of course also to anyone who has titles with a strong narrative among their preferences. Even if the story told is necessarily violent, considering the apocalyptic situation in which the protagonists of the story find themselves, TLOU2 manages to excite also for the naturalness with which it deals with issues such as love and hope as revenge and the lesser parts of human souls. A game that will not only remain in the history of videogame but that will certainly remain forever in the memory of those who have played it and that sets new standards in terms of both narration and artistic components.
