High On Life is an FPS that does not shine in terms of gameplay or technical compartment but has on its side a very strong component of comedy and madness that winks a lot at Rick and Morty, just to fans of the series we strongly recommend trying the title, perhaps taking advantage of the opportunity to try it through Game Pass. Should you not be interested in the comedy component, however, we do not fully recommend the title given its major shortcomings in gameplay and technical compartment.

SEGA has decided to give the series a bold swerve, veering toward today's top genres, but without betraying the spirit that has distinguished it since its early days. Although with a very problematic technical compartment, the title manages to entertain and engage, thanks to the freedom granted and the spectacular staging in the most concussive sections. Hopefully, this path taken by the Japanese software house will allow the blue hedgehog to hurtle toward a bright future. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Warzone 2.0 is not the battle royale revolution, but probably no one expected it to be. It is the right evolution of the mass phenomenon that was the first chapter, innovating some mechanics but not radically changing the game. We particularly liked the change to loadouts making matches more competitive by limiting the various player perks. It slightly increases the difficulty in matches however decreases too much in the gulag allowing potentially all 4 players to save themselves. On the other hand, we find all the other changes, including the map, very interesting, not deviating too much from the good foundations of Warzone in 2019. It will therefore remain to be seen whether it will be able to have the gigantic impact of its predecessor or whether the audience is now saturated with Warzone as well, although in our opinion it has the potential to remain in the hearts of old and new users alike.

An interesting concept constrained by an unbreakable release date. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet was not a ready-to-launch game.

Although the title offers an engaging story and a repertoire of novelties, the flaws present are glaring and unjustifiable to say the least, making The Devil in Me one of the most ''near-perfect'' chapters in the entire saga.

Although imperfect, Asobo Studio succeeds in telling a deep and intense story, managing to convey all the love for its characters. A journey inside the cruelty and abstractness of human nature, supported by a majestic graphic and artistic compartment. A story that will leave indelible memories in the minds of gamers.

Overwatch 2 came to the video game market with a completely new formula: free-to-play and with a Battle Pass to unlock and complete. In addition, the number of gamers in matches was reduced from 6vs6 to 5vs5. Blizzard has been able to focus well on the elements that made the first chapter a cult for first-person-shooter games: iconic characters, a refined graphical style, and captivating gameplay. It cannot be called a true sequel, as the skeleton of the game still turns out to be the one that was until recently playable in the first chapter.

F1 2022 does not represent the game that upends the saga but reconfirms almost all the strengths that made the fortunes of the previous chapters while also adding a few new features. Inexplicable instead is the removal of Breaking Point and the addition of the almost useless F1 Life. We do, however, find support for 120 fps and the use of DualSense's adaptive triggers truly incredible. We therefore consider F1 2022 a must-have for first-minute fans.

A turn-based strategy that you won't be able to say no to if you are a lover of the genre, also perfect for its vast choice of scenarios on one of the most interesting historical contexts ever. The level of accuracy of the campaign and of the individual units is really high, managing to fully immerse the player. Perfect to play with and against other people, also thanks to the good longevity it offers.

Kaiju Wars is an indie without too many pretensions, with captivating pixel art graphics that recall the old cabinets. Intuitive, yet challenging gameplay that will put a strain on the player's strategic skills. Ideal for lovers of the genre and kaiju, but which lacks entry barriers for newbies.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a spin-off that overflows with its own personality. She is not limited to being a mere restyling of Borderlands 3, but she has the courage to experiment and differentiate herself enough from her older brother. The plot, albeit thin, entertains with its irreverent and parody irony. The novelties and changes to the gameplay work properly, giving greater dynamism and new stimuli. The character progression system allows for a variety of development directives and each player will be able to find their ideal build. However, the title would have benefited from a filing on specific aspects, such as confusing inventory management and technical cleanliness, as well as presenting an endgame that does not live up to expectations.

The last work of Tango Gameworks presented itself with very great wishes, but not having completely respected the expectations. Overall we find ourselves in front of a good game, with some really exciting phases, but just as many slow and boring. However, it cannot be defined as a failure, giving us one of the most inspired art designs in the videogame landscape and a fun gameplay all in all.

Elex 2 looks exactly like the first, with a campaign almost identical to its predecessor, with very few innovations introduced, but still presenting some improvements in the graphic, technical and stylistic side. It is certainly a game suitable for an audience accustomed to open world with sci-fantasy settings, but which, like its predecessor, will probably not be able to reach a large portion of the public.

The bugs and imperfections are too much incident on the gameplay. The spectacular graphics and interactive maps fail to balance the shortcomings.

Curse of the Dead Gods is a roguelike that demands a lot from the player with its hardcore approach. The small French production shines thanks to the variety that the gameplay offers and thanks to the artistic sector. Unfortunately, the repetitiveness and optimization problems affect the good result of the game, Hades' first stepson.

Immortals Fenyx Rising takes only the basics from Breath of the Wild, and builds a great and inspired title around them. A good combat system, valid puzzles and a good longevity make it a really nice game. With a greater diversity of game elements, the repetitiveness that plagues production wouldn't have been a problem, but those gaps don't stop Immortals Fenyx Rising from being a great video game.

Planet Coaster: Console Edition is a great example of optimization, of adapting from a device with its own mechanics like the PC to the next generation consoles. Despite the presence of small technical problems, the game manages to entertain, surprise and encourage players with themed challenges, creating the amusement park of their dreams.

Yakuza Like A Dragon once again demonstrates the incredible quality of Ryū Ga Gotoku Studio's productions. A huge game, animated by a wonderful story and surrounded by a huge amount of fun side activities. Don't miss it.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War does not fully exploit its potential, showing itself with a very short-lived campaign, few maps for multiplayer and a single map for the zombie experience. Treyarch is surprising but still has a lot to do.

Rogue Company is a game with all the possibilities to emerge as a competitive game, however this component of the game is not very supported right now. It is very balanced and enjoyable, without creating situations of nervousness. The graphics and gameplay are very fluid and the third person camera hardly ever penetrates. It is a very good game, which if updated over time could become a great game.
