Alan Wake Remastered, as Agent Cooper would say, is like a great cup of coffee, of the black one, and served hot; however, you will have to be a coffee lover to be able to fully appreciate it. Remastered or not, the original game was also great at the time and in this version it can also be appreciated on Sony consoles after the end of the previous exclusivity due to the collaboration between Microsoft and Remedy.

It Takes Two is a playful experience not to be missed: deep, fun, light and delicate; an almost perfect mix of emotions, gameplay and artistic direction.

9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a respectable scrolling fighting game, deserving of more than just an occasional session. Net of the problems related to the degree of challenge, the title of the Russian software house can be seen as an opportunity to take a relaxing journey through the culture and oriental settings, also giving us the opportunity to vent against hundreds of enemies showing off our skills in martial arts.

Little Nightmares 2 is a little gem for those who want to enjoy a less splatter and more psychological horror experience. The Swedish team has managed to re-propose with an improved look the formula seen in the first chapter, which catapults us into an even darker world than the one seen previously. The new monsters are even more disturbing and make even more the idea of oppression that the title wants to convey. Surely some more playful element would have pleased, starting from the not too high longevity, and from some greater interaction with Six, which in any case all in all manages to be a good companion of gloomy adventures.

It's hard to recommend it to a player who isn't a big fan of the board game and fantasy universe he's drawn from, which is why you'll do well to shift your attentions elsewhere.

Cyberpunk 2077 is definitely an ambitious title, maybe even too much. We are faced with a first-person action-RPG as deep as few, characterized by an inspired, alive and vibrant game world. You will literally be dragged into a whirlwind of missions, assignments, contracts that frame a well-written and very original main plot, with memorable moments and a subliminal artistic direction. It is a pity that not all aspects of production can enjoy the same care: an unconvincing artificial intelligence and driving model bring down the experience, with a technical sector that is still far from its full realization and compromised by a long series of bugs and various inaccuracies. The hope is that console versions can be enhanced by patches announced early next year, with a focus on upgrading to next-generation hardware that should bring Cyberpunk 2077 to its rightful level, which we all hope for.

Call of the Sea is a narrative puzzle game that requires a very careful observation and in some cases even perseverance to solve some puzzles, since not everything will be so clear and understandable. The adventure, however, for the structure of the story, the characters and the dialogues is noteworthy, making the gaming experience engaging and interesting, never being trivial, with an ending that will literally be in your hands.

Despite being a one-person game, The Falconeer outperforms many other, more famous titles in some ways thanks mainly to an interesting narrative component that puts the game world at the center, rather than a single character. There are some ities in terms of inventory management and three-dimensional movement, but this does not seriously penalise an experience that should be experienced as soon as possible.

The slogan "the definitive version of the best game ever" used to sponsor the title in question really seems to be the most suitable one to give a final judgment to Tetris Effect: Connected. Further reason to love it? It is included with the Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Sports Interactive has created, again, a great product, Football Manager 2021 is without a shadow of a doubt even more realistic than what we saw in previous years. The game is long-lived, addictive and full of challenges, but it also knows how to adapt to the type of player in front of it; the user can in fact decide what to do and what not to do. Also this year lovers of the genre and the series will not be able to miss the new annual appointment with Football Manager 2021.

Although you will find some outdated aspects of gameplay and outdated in subsequent games, it will certainly give positive emotions, especially when you understand the aspects from which the successors took inspiration.

However short, Bright Memory lets you glimpse its capabilities but does not have time to apply itself thoroughly given its brevity. Many clever ideas, weapons at a distance and melee, environmental puzzles, quasi-platform phases and huge bosses to face give hope for the future of this "one-man saga". It brings home sufficiency, which wants to be not only an encouragement but also a recognition of a promising future and a product that, despite being quite short, is playable and fun.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a sumptuous game, not only in size and because of a huge game map and varies beyond imagination. We are faced with a serious title, capable of proposing the usual historical and cultural reconstruction of absolute value, weaving a compelling and coherent plot that is a little difficult to take off and that could have been condensed in a more rhythmic way, but that will drag you into a whirlwind of battles and violence. As already mentioned, Eivor has proved to be a charismatic protagonist, capable of carrying the weight of the saga on his shoulders.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the best Call of Duty made by Raven Software and Treyarch in all respects. It offers a campaign that is not too long but very exciting and full of novelty, combined with a multiplayer as always impeccable and finally much more open than in the past, thanks to the possibility of playing cross-platform and cross-gen online, that is, between the various platforms on which it is available. Technically superb, complete with ray racing, Black Ops Cold War is one of the best ways to start enjoying the performance of Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5; if you like subjective shooters don't think about it for a second, run to buy it!

Now in its third interaction, Watch Dogs: Legion finally reaches maturity, showing all the potential that we had glimpsed in the first chapters characterized by important ideas but never fully realized. We are faced with a complete, fun, varied game, with a campaign that does not shine for originality but that remains enjoyable and well narrated, with well-dashed and charismatic characters.

The Tantalus team, the architect of this remastered, has, on the whole, done a good job. Age Of Empires III: Definitive Edition offers the ability to retrieve all the content of the original game (and some extras) in one solution and with good technical improvements. Considering the price we would say it's worth it, whether you're a nov service or a longtime fan of the series.

Take the two most loved skate games ever, put them together to get the new most popular skate game ever. Vicarious Visions and Activision do not miss the shot and hit the target in full. We didn't see skateboarding debut at the Tokyo Olympics, but Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is more than a good consolation in anticipation of next summer.

Battletoads is a great game, a successful mix of many genres but one that doesn't excel in any of these. Particularly suited to those who love the variety of games, the exclusive Microsoft will disappoint those who expected a faithful return to the origins.

The Last of Us Part 2 is a brave, daring title, ready to surprise you with sometimes extreme choices, in a spiral of revenge seasoned with blind violence and never filtered, but at the same time never an end in itself.
