It has also added much needed features like the safety car or the possibility to manage the whole Grand Prix event, from the free training durint Friday to the race on Sunday.

A psychological horror narrative adventure that forgoes combat and jump scares in favor of atmospheric tension and well-written dialogues, enhanced by its PS1-style visuals and glitch-like transitions.

It is not as revolutionary as the previous game, its combat system has aged in this two years, and it lacks that freshness, but Fable 3 is still a huge game, able to engage the player and absorb him into the world of Albion. This one is better organized, first it shows us the many things we can do in the game world, and then it let us decide what we want to do. And it is still full of that fairytale magic.

There are probably few PlayStation players left who haven't tried Horizon Zero Dawn, a game that sold well - it exceeded 24 million in April 2023 - and has even been given away for free, but we can't forget that there will always be new users who haven't yet taken the first step in Aloy's shoes.

There's something about it that makes it the most prolific PlayStation saga today.
