Gamer Calendar: the most interesting games of December 2022

2/12 on PC, PlayStation and Xbox

On the USG Ishimura, in the shoes of engineer Isaac Clarke, we will again try to survive until the end of January. But everything indicates that the wait will not be so long, because Dead Space will be adequately replaced by The Callisto Protocol. Glen Schofield and his team will take us to the Dark Iron Prison on Jupiter’s moon Callisto. Here we will face vile and very dangerous monsters in the role of Jacob Lee and uncover the dark and disturbing secrets hidden under the surface of Callisto.

2/12 on PC, PlayStation and Xbox

Breakneck speed, chases with annoying cops, nitro, tuning… The Need for Speed ​​​​series returns after three years with unconventional graphics and drawn characters. Fenders while jumping, tire smoke and other weird stuff can be turned off, and hopefully there’s still NFS under that cover to keep those long winter evenings busy.

December 2nd on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

Protecting the Earth from an alien invasion seems to have ceased to entertain the developers at Firaxis Games, so they took the XCOM series as a basis, turned it on its head, and instead of scared people and scary aliens, superheroes come, which the villains fear. . In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, you take on the role of the Hunter and command famous superheroes including Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine and Spider-Man in turn-based card battles. With them, you will stop the demonic Lilith, her terrifying horde and the Hydra army.

6/12 on PC, PlayStation and Xbox

Do you think you can trust your neighbors? So you don’t know Mr. Peterson, a very strange neighbour. Once you meet him, you will be suspicious of everyone on your street and eventually everyone in your city. That’s how far the sequel to the great stealth horror game Hello Neighbor takes you, where you play as a journalist trying to solve the mystery of a missing child in a seemingly quiet town.

What secrets might be hidden in a baker’s croissants? Is there anything strange about the behavior of the local taxidermist? And what is it about the mayor that he had to buy a fighting dog to feel safe? Same questions, no answers…

September 9th on PC

Fans of survival horror events will also find their own here. The main enemy is Charles the locomotive spider, from which we will very often run away in our old train. Just watch out for winding paths, switches, spooky dungeons and other enemies. We’re already looking forward to experienced modders turning Charles into Thomas’ powerhouse…

December 12 on PC and Xbox

Rick and Morty co-creator has another crazy idea. You’re just out of school, unemployed and ambitious, and don’t really have anything interesting until an alien cartel invades Earth and wants to use humanity as a drug. Now, with a team of charismatic talking guns, you must become the hero and the deadliest intergalactic bounty hunter the universe has ever seen. Get ready for a comedy action adventure.

December 13 on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch

We also have a Crisis Core remaster that boasts completely remastered HD graphics, an updated combat system, a redesigned user interface and an updated soundtrack. The story begins seven years before the events of Final Fantasy 7 in 1997 and follows Zack Fair, a young and ambitious soldier. Zack is tasked with finding a missing Private 1st Class. But as his adventures unfold, he uncovers the dark secrets of experiments and monsters.

December 14 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

Consoles have overtaken computers. Finally, The Witcher 3 looks like it was shown by CD Projekt RED. We were able to read similar comments during the first full preview of the next-generation 4K texture update, which will be available for free on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. On PC you can count on DLSS 3 and FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 support, and on consoles you can easily play at 60fps. Everywhere you will also appreciate the alternative camera mode, thanks to which, for example, the camera approaches Geralt or offers a different view of Klepna while moving.

December 15 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

We will get acquainted with the classic Slavic myth, retold with the help of a bow and arrow, in the adventure game Blacktail. The developers suggest that we create a legend about Baba Yaz, a 16-year-old girl accused of witchcraft and expelled from her home. We will experience the creation of this myth in a unique combination of exciting duels of bow, magic and dark history, set in a fantasy world pulsing with life.

Within a month for Quest and PS VR

The critically acclaimed adventure of the undead in New Orleans continues in a new chapter with new weapons and gameplay options. With the seemingly unstoppable Axeman hot on your heels and facing the Tower faction’s latest bid for total dominance, you must figure out what these two threats have in common before it’s too late. On the way to the final battle for the fate of the city, new faces, locations, weapons and equipment are waiting for you. All this and more in virtual reality.
