The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes is unfortunately a step backwards compared to the previous episodes of the series, at least in terms of the script, atmosphere and technical realization. The affordable price makes it interesting for those who don't want to miss a single chapter of the anthology, but others should turn to the previous chapters or wait for a possible fourth episode capable of bringing the horror series back on the right tracks.

Riders Republic is a solid sports game, graphically satisfying and with all the right cards to give you many hours of fun thanks to an accessible control system, many customization options and a wide variety of events. It's not perfect and it will need some updates, but it's undoubtedly the best extreme sports game available today.

Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water is an old-fashioned horror title capable of delivering many thrills thanks to a well-written storyline, anxiety-inducing atmosphere and unique gameplay, provided, however, you can turn a blind eye to the problems related to controls, the little care taken in graphics improvements and the lack of localization for several western languages.

Rainbow Six Extraction is an excellent example of how to evolve and diversify a saga without denaturalizing it. Siege's well-tested structure is effectively flanked by new mechanics designed for cooperative play, allowing the game to differentiate itself enough from the dense competition. All this is made more interesting by a good progression system and extra modes, ensuring a more than satisfactory longevity to the title. Definitely worth a try for anyone looking for a new co-op FPS experience.

Edge of Eternity is a true love letter to the JRPGs of the late nineties, an ambitious title that seeks to modernize a classic formula without distorting it. The end result is an imperfect role-playing game, but still capable of entertaining and exciting the player thanks to an engaging combat system and a first-class script, along with a top-quality soundtrack. Surely capable of satisfying the lovers of the genre.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is a good sequel, even if a bit rough in some places, offering us an open world as ambitious as imperfect, with excellent gameplay and lots of content. Nevertheless, it could have benefited from more technical cleanliness and attention to some key aspects such as A.I. and writing. Still, it has all the cards in order to satisfy those who loved the first chapter or those looking for a different action title from the usual.

Elden Ring manages to draw the player into a fascinating world for many hours, with refined gameplay that fits perfectly with the freedom granted to the player. A sumptuous but imperfect work, which fails to completely overcome some of the historical flaws of Hidetaka Miyazaki's productions. Flaws that, however, can't diminish the scope of a masterpiece destined to leave an indelible mark on the videogame world and to set new standards for the souls-like and open-world genres.

The new elements introduced in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga allow it to renew itself by offering a gameplay capable of satisfying every player, even if it has to deal with the inexplicable absence of online co-op and with some less effective elements. However, these flaws quickly fade into the background, leaving room for the best LEGO video game so far.

The Quarry is undoubtedly the best work yet by Supermassive Games, both in terms of gameplay and of plot ramifications and technical department. An enthralling experience that knows how to keep the fans of the genre happy, even if it suffers from a not so bold plot (especially on the horror side) and the temporary absence of an online multiplayer component. Yet, it's a title that every fan should consider for their collection.

F1 22 doesn't revolutionize the series, but it proves once again to be a worthy driving sim, capable of entertaining both the F1 enthusiasts and the more casual players. It manages to faithfully recreate the F1 world both in and out the circuits, with a wide offering of modes and options.

Thymesia sports a compelling story coupled by an intriguing souls-like combat system, but it's constrained by excessively linear levels and complete lack of any dubbing. Regardless, if you're looking for a challenging action game, you should definitely give it a chance.

Little Orpheus is a truly enjoyable and well-packaged adventure, with a great storyline, a sparkling script and a setting capable of capturing the player's attention from start to finish. The extremely linear gameplay doesn't mesh too well with console game standards, but it is undoubtedly a title to behold.

Soulstice combines a fascinating setting, two well-characterized protagonists, an engaging storyline and a gameplay that, albeit with a few smears, is capable of providing many hours of fun. It's not a perfect game, with the troublesome camera handling as its major flaw, but it's still a game that every lover of third-person action games should consider.

Deathloop is yet another confirmation of Arkane Lyon's unbridled creative talent. It captures us from the very first moments thanks to an intriguing premise and keeps us glued to the pad until the end credits with a constantly evolving gameplay, enhanced by a unique styling and a basically perfect level design. Enemy AI and the shooting system could have been better, but regardless of these limitations it's a game absolutely worth trying.

Batora: Lost Haven is an entertaining sci-fi adventure with an appealing graphical style, albeit with some flaws. Recommended if you like action titles with an isometric view and you're looking for a thought-provoking story, but without ever being too challenging.

A Plague Tale: Requiem develops the strengths of the first chapter to the full, to create a cinematically cut, emotionally charged adventure with satisfying stealth mechanics, action, puzzles, memorable characters, heart-pounding sequences and lots and lots of rats.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is the best episode yet in Supermassive's horror anthology, and their most captivating game overall. The claustrophobic atmospheres, the excellent audio production and the tense script filled with jumpscares are accompanied by small but significant improvements in the game formula. Definitely a game to have if you love narrative horror experiences.

The Chant is a fun horror adventure with its own personality, but it fails to reach 100% of its potential due to a too predictable script and a technical compartment plagued by several shortcomings.

High On Life combines simple FPS gameplay with an attractive design, a wide variety of weapons, and exaggerated writing that makes every moment unforgettable. Although it has some shortcomings, such as the simple enemy AI and little variety during firefights, it stays fun and engaging, and although it doesn't revolutionize the genre, it's an excellent choice for those who like over-the-top humour and original ideas and want to spend about 12 hours of fun.
