Video games, what to give or treat yourself for Christmas? I’ll throw some of them in there, something for all tastes, with even more gusto given that on Rai I saw Caterina Balivo with a sociologist who preached against video games, as if we were in the 1980s. I’ll start with the shooters, that is the FPS, because there is little to discuss: Black Ops 6, released at the end of October, has no rivals, and it is necessary to have it if you then play Warzone, which is free to play but for leveling you need multiplayer weapons (otherwise it will take forever).
For the (many) fans of Nintendo’s timeless Mario there is Mario and Luigi: Charging Brotherhood, because it’s true that plumbers are becoming less and less common, but Mario has always been a guarantee. Fantastic worlds in which to adventure by going up to the Solcamari island (half island, half ship, an island that sails) and fight in the boundless universe of Elettria full of surreal cities and incredible cities (Italo Calvino would have liked them a lot too). By the way, The legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is also released by Nintendo. This time it’s not about chasing the famous princess, you can be her directly, in first person, to save her kingdom, where mysterious rifts swallow up the inhabitants.
If you love horror and have loved Silent Hill and want to have a thrilling party, throw yourself into Silent Hill 2 without fear, especially if you haven’t played it before, as it is a remake. But if you are more adventurous, and love the Assassin’s Creed saga, throw yourself into feudal Japan with the latest chapter: Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. Alternatively, remaining in a similar atmosphere, there is Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle (moreover, Xbox users will find it in the Gamepass, not bad).
If, on the other hand, you are more spacey and Georgian, I would think about Star Wars Outlaws to live an adventure set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and become the most wanted in the galaxy. Still remaining in space, Space Marines must also be kept in mind and use very powerful weapons to defend the Imperium from the Tyranid swarms (both the single and multiplayer campaigns are available). Otherwise, if you’re more into fantasy, enter the dark and epic world of Final Fantasy XVI controlled by the Eikons and their Dominants, there’s a whole new catastrophic intrigue to solve.
Finally, I’ve tried to avoid it until now because I hate football, but for the sake of it
fans I can’t help but point out FC 25, which is the best football simulator. In fact, it is possible to program your own attitudes and tactics and make full use of the billions of data collected by Opta Sports. The choice is yours.
