Abstract
The importance of directly detect and experimentally probe the nature of Dark Matter (DM) is universally and incontrovertibly recognised as one of the most compelling tasks of today’s fundamental physics. Directional DM searches aim at developing experimental techniques that can give access to the measurement of the incoming direction of the DM particle. This can provide a correlation with an astrophysical source that no background whatsoever can mimic and offers an unique key for a positive, unambiguous identification of a DM signal.

Report
The manuscript presents well written and detailed overview on the current status of directional dark matter searches with the focus on two main approaches as time projection chambers (MIMAC, DRIFT, CYGNO and CYGNUS) and solid nuclear emulsions (NEWSdm). The text is clear and understandable. I recommend the manuscript for publication as it is.
