At 36 hours, I practically raced through Death Stranding 2. You could easily spend twice as long on the game. There’s plenty to do. It’s thanks to the asynchronous multiplayer and the much more accessible transport system that I was able to get through it so quickly. But also because “Death Stranding 2” no longer exudes the same fascination as the first instalment. Many elements of the story are too repetitive, and despite new transport options, the gameplay no longer exudes the same originality as it did back in 2019.

If you look up the term ‘open world’ ‘Crimson Desert’ is bound to be listed right next to it. Because you can’t get much more open-world than that. It offers a world in which you can completely lose yourself. What could be better?

Lots of shooting, silly one-liners and little brainwork: if that appeals to you, you might like John Carpenter's Toxic Commando. This co-op zombie game expands on the Left 4 Dead formula with vehicles and the satisfying mud physics from Snowrunner. The open levels invite you to explore, and the missions offer enough variety – even though they always end with a wave of zombies bigger than your pile of shame.

I can climb in every other game. None of them make me sweat as much as Cairn. At the same time, it exudes a sense of calm, as if I were standing alone on the mountaintop.

Whether playing alone or with two others, Arc Raiders plays the same yet refreshingly differently than classic extraction shooters. This makes the game appealing to casual and hardcore gamers alike.

Bloodlines 2 doesn't get my blood pumping quite as much. The special moments don't quite measure up to those in the first Bloodlines. Even 20 years later, I still remember the horror detour to the Ocean Hotel and the “Sibling Rivalry” quest with the llama. Nevertheless, Bloodlines 2 still grabs me with its grandiose level design and soundtrack, which varies between classical, rock, and electronic music.

Keeper plays like a dream come true. The scenario, featuring a walking lighthouse that embarks on a fantastic journey with a bird, is wonderfully fresh. Add to that a pinch of friendship and melancholy, and you have a feast that will keep me satisfied for a long time to come.

Battlefield 6 is sure to thrill new and old fans alike. Nowhere else are these huge, chaotic mass battles staged so well and so much fun to play.

In Herdling, the focus is on the experience rather than the gameplay. Navigating the herd through the enchanted landscape captivates with its visuals and sound rather than complex mechanics. The game offers little more than occasional obstacles to avoid and minimal switch puzzles.

Lucas Arts couldn't have done it better. “The Drifter” is a gripping thriller that takes you on a wild rollercoaster ride that you shouldn't miss out on.

“Doom: The Dark Ages” doesn't reinvent the wheel. I get exactly what I expect from the series. Frenetic action against snarling demons. If there's one thing I'd like to see in the next installment, it's a return to horror. Because this Doom Slayer definitely doesn't know fear.

The British “Fallout” alternative tells a gripping story, but puts heaps of obstacles in my way when discovering it.

The amount of ideas would have been enough for ten games, whereby the novelty would have quickly evaporated. And that is exactly what makes the game so appealing. As soon as you get used to one scene or mechanic, the next one follows. It never gets boring. The game moves at an incredible pace.

Such a detailed and expansive world, which captures the flair of the Middle Ages so beautifully, does not exist anywhere else. There are magnificent castles, huge army camps and tranquil villages where I would love to settle down.

For 32 years, Lucas Arts' “Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis” has been considered the best game adaptation of the legendary film series. This honor is now due to “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle”. Machine Games succeeds in perfectly capturing the sense of adventure, charm and wit of Harrison Ford's famous character.

“The Plucky Squire” is a masterpiece that enchanted me with its creativity and charm. Something that generally only Nintendo can achieve.

Like a running meat grinder, I fight my way through everything the Tyranids and Chaos forces throw at me. The gameplay is simple and takes me back to a time when shooters were simpler.

Your most important weapon in "Anger Foot" is your powerful foot. You use it to kick criminals around at full sprint. Together with the booming techno soundtrack, this makes for a fantastic and sweat-inducing action spectacle.
