Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War традиционно располагает широким спектром режимов. В игре в лучшем смысле блокбастерная кампания, улетный мультиплеер и уже ставший классическим зомби-режим. Серия Call of Duty всегда умела одно — талантливо развлекать геймеров каждый год. Многие игроки до сих пор по инерции ругают серию за однообразие и примитивизм, но фанатам цикла и любителям шутеров от первого лица Cold War точно понравится.

Call of Duty necesita apoyarse en tres patas cada año. Si una flojea, y encima es el multijugador, el sabor de boca que deja no es el que exigimos a un producto anual, y ese es el caso de Black Ops Cold War. Por suerte, no debería necesitar mucho más que el inicio de las Temporadas y la llegada de nuevo contenido para arreglarse.

Les moments les plus calmes de Cold War sont plus mémorables que les plus bruyants, même si l'ambition de son histoire ne se concrétise pas tout à fait dans son exécution.

Bluepoint’s team had the unenviable task of remaking an 11-year-old game with a cult following and making it look – and play – the part of being the very first game developed from the ground up for this current generation of consoles. And that’s exactly what they did. Demon’s Souls is breathtakingly gorgeous and plays significantly better than it did on the PS3, not only thanks to the graphical power of the PlayStation 5, but because of smart quality-of-life changes and light touches that modernize some frustrating aspects of the original, without ever sacrificing the relentless challenge, puzzle-infused boss battles, and style that made it such a landmark game in the first place.

Bright Memory es un adelanto de lo que veremos en Bright Memory: Infinite, con un combate espectacular que deja con ganas de más. Unas buenas sensaciones iniciales que no ocultan sus problemas técnicos y de control que esperamos que se solucionen en la obra completa. Por su precio, disfrutarás de un rato entretenido en esta original mezcla que combina el shooter en primera persona con los hack and slash, con la posibilidad de realizar combinaciones diversas. Sorprende que haya sido desarrollado por tan solo una persona.

As of right now, however, I’m enjoying Godfall, even if it’s not doing much to wow me and the repetition of its missions is wearing a bit thin. It’s got some fun and satisfying combat, a few genuinely novel mechanics, and graphics that range from absolutely gorgeous to a little over the top – but unless its thin story morphs into more than an excuse to go stab stuff, the grindable action-looter structure doesn't seem like it has enough variety to sustain its otherwise expansive customization.

Call of Duty’s moment-to-moment gameplay is still primarily a well-dressed shooting gallery, but Black Ops Cold War succeeds in making its quiet time a defining part of its experience rather than just a deep breath between the loud and explode-y sequences. Its story is less successful at leaving a Black Ops 1-level mark, but the importance placed on finding and deciphering evidence as well as the multiple endings give good reason to stick with it beyond its typical six-ish-hour runtime.

Quando ouço falar de Supermassive Games, estarei sempre à espera que a produtora nos entregue algo semelhante a Until Dawn, mas The Dark Pictures: Little Hope não chega sequer lá perto. A história e personagens carecem de alma e interesse, apesar do jogo entregar bons “jump scares” e um ambiente que faz jus ao género de terror, ao mesmo tempo que apenas o modo cooperativo resulta particularmente bem nas cinco horas que separam o início e o fim do enredo.

The Pathless’ reliance on a simple but engaging movement system allowed me to explore Giant Squid’s beautiful open world with ease, placing its challenge more on the environmental puzzles you inevitably arrive at rather than on the journey itself. Its story may settle into some familiar territory, but it still finds ways to fascinate with this world and the history its landscape holds. I found myself easily getting lost in its varied regions, but I was never really “lost” - each new crumbling building or encampment rewarded me in some way for coming across it. Giant Squid’s thoughtful mechanics and layered puzzle design makes the very act of finding your way a thrill in and of itself.

Microsoft pitched Forza Motorsport 7 as the ultimate automotive playset, and it’s hard to argue otherwise. With enough cars to fill a dozen museums and the most generous selection of tracks to date in the series, the amount of driving, experimenting, and racing here is absolutely mammoth. Accessible as always for beginners but crammed with content targeted at lifelong car junkies, Forza Motorsport 7 is Turn 10’s finest love letter to speed and style this generation, no matter what language you speak.
