  We report recent ALICE results on primary charged particle and neutral meson
production in pp, p--Pb, Pb--Pb and Xe--Xe collisions at LHC energies. In this
article, measurements of the nuclear modification factors $R_{\rm AA}$ of
primary charged particles and of light neutral mesons in Pb--Pb, in Xe--Xe and
in p--Pb collisions in a wide $p_{\rm T}$ range and different centrality
classes are discussed. We compare the nuclear modification factors obtained for
different collision systems as a function of transverse momentum, collision
centrality as well as charged particle multiplicity (${\rm d}N_{\rm ch} / {\rm
d}\eta$). We also present comparison of experimental results to model
calculations.
