The extra development time granted to the developers has allowed for a surprisingly polished and refined experience overall. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 sets a new standard for single-player campaigns in the series, blending familiar mechanics with a few, yet compelling, new ideas that entertain and amaze all the way to the end credits. The Zombie mode returns to a round-based structure, and thanks to Absolute Movement and well-designed maps, delivers a thrilling experience. The multiplayer component is even more immediate, fast-paced, and dynamic, making it nearly impossible to put the controller down between matches. What is currently missing is a more enticing map pack and some fresh additions to the game modes, but we have an entire year of content ahead to judge, which will shape the multiplayer experience until the next chapter in the series.

Space Marine 2 is a must-play title that immerses the player in the heart of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. With solid gameplay and stunning technical aspects, Saber Interactive's title delivers a brutal and satisfying combat experience, especially in melee combat.

Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance proved challenging, confronting us with hosts of well-armored and well-equipped enemies. In critical situations, with often few soldiers and constant front reversals, the action was sustained and able to engage us at all times.

As much as Modern Warfare 3's online can be considered the glue that single-handedly holds an entire game together and succeeds in entertaining and sucking us in just as the original MW2 did, the heavy recycling of content between maps that have very little connection to the campaign and a spate of ideas taken flat out from Warzone and DMZ is not enough to justify placing this chapter among the annual full-price releases

NBA 2K24 does not rest on its laurels when it comes to improving and refining the micro aspects of a gameplay that has now reached a level where it is engaging and fulfilling when played at high levels, while also being quite accessible to a more casual audience. Unfortunately, even with positive new proposals aimed at revamping the flagship MyTeam and MyCareer modes, the excessive presence of microtransactions overshadows the team's work.

Like the experiments that threw Redfall into chaos, Arkane Austin's new title is a half-baked mess. What made Arkane famous emerges only partially between incredible game atmospheres and narrative that is never dull and able to draw you into its mysteries. What creaks is a rather bland open world form made up of activities without bite that do not quite do justice to the care with which the game world is instead created. A really underwhelming artificial intelligence deadens the shooter phases and does not stimulate the search for different approaches to deal with the situations in front of us. Redfall is also playable alone, but the playable characters are clearly designed to act in groups and that is the best way to take advantage of all the synergies.

MLB The Show 23 does not diverge much in its key mechanics from the previous chapter, but then again, the state of the game was already in very good shape even in previous years.

Mato Anomalies features different genres and does not always succeed in making them a worthwhile addition. First of all, it is a good visual novel, with a story that is a bit confusing at times, but interesting enough to intrigue you and make you want to delve deeper into its diverse cast of characters.

High On Life is quirky and self-consciously absurd as a video game. Its comedy is the most divisive aspect, and if you love the style of Rick and Morty then you will find gags, Easter egg and situations that will make you crack up with laughter, but otherwise in the long run it may be all too irritating and repetitive.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare II offers exactly what was expected: no revolution and a few changes to further improve the multiplayer mode, which stands as the best in years thanks to its gunplay.

The number '2' next to the word Overwatch is just a number, nothing more. Before the title can take the final form of an actual sequel, we should most likely wait until 2023. Changes to heroes, maps, game modes, and twists to Overwatch's economic model seem more like part of a major update. As a hero shooter, however, Overwatch 2 is still galvanising, and the shift to 5vs5 matches has created a new balance between strategy and brashness.

NBA 2K23 reconfirms itself as a sports title with a very broad offering capable of appealing to new players and veterans of the parquet.

MLB The Show 22 has no competition, and it's still the best console experience for baseball fans, even if it's hard to see any major changes this year. San Diego Studio has been busy adding content, fine-tuning some of the most popular modes, but above all, it has focused heavily on online co-op. Expanding the user base has also required a recalibration of the difficulty and onboarding process for new players who will be able to customise their experience more accurately. Graphically, there's still plenty of room for improvement to make the games more involving, and unfortunately they can't even count on a varied and punctual commentary.

Moss: Book II is a natural continuation of Polyarc's debut chapter. The game world is larger, the opportunities for interaction have grown, and the deep connection you develop with Quill is more evident and sought after. New enemies, weapons and abilities make combat and puzzles more varied, interesting and engaging. The environments are richer and more surprising, inviting us to fully immerse ourselves in a fairytale world. But, just like the first time, it seems that the game stops just when it could have given us so much more. The controls can be a little cumbersome at times and unfortunately expose PSVR's shortcomings, but Moss Book 2 is still one of the best experiences you can have on PlayStation.

The Witch Queen is the expansion that all Destiny players have been waiting for, and the best of Bungie's expansions to date. The new location of Tronomondo is fascinating, full of mysteries and breathtaking for the majesty of the fortress of Savathun and the areas that will be accessed by looking beyond the illusions. Thematically it is a campaign that matures further, taking to new levels what it began to do with Beyond the Light. The length of the campaign is far greater than in the past, combined with higher difficulties and replayable weekly missions, Destiny 2 The Witch Queen offers a fully immersive experience that values the investment and dedication of its players. Destiny 2 is currently in its best shape: rich in content, activities that enhance the new void subclass and adds extensive customisation of firearms with the crafting system. Balancing issues and drop rates remain to be fixed as soon as the team collects enough data.

Rainbow Six Extraction will be immediately familiar to those who have already played Rainbow Six Siege, as the title's distinctive gunplay remains the same. In the battle against the Chimera parasite there's less emphasis on destruction and more emphasis on methodical, quiet room clearing while also relying on new equipment to limit enemy actions. Progress is slow at first and may be less interesting for some, but when it gets going, and you're ready for more difficult challenges, Rainbow Six Extraction proves rewarding and addictive. Those looking for an alternative to competitive gaming will find a heart-pounding challenge to face strictly with trusted friends. Ubisoft Montreal has already laid down a good foundation to keep the title constantly updated, and it's a fundamental aspect that only with time will we be able to fully judge.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is the refinement of one of the deepest and most strategic role-playing games of recent times; a work that Larian Studios, after the success of Kickstarter, has carried out listening above all to the feedback of the players.
