With "Echoes of the End," Myrkur Games delivers a compelling debut. While there's still plenty of room for improvement in most areas, especially the gameplay, as a whole it's a fantastic experience. Carried by its compelling fantasy world and human characters, it offers a very linear but highly entertaining blend of multiple genres. It may not win any major awards, but the fun is there if you overlook many minor issues and battle your way through to the even better second half of the game.

While the atmosphere is good, and the puzzles are logically structured, they don't reinvent the wheel in any way. While everything is well integrated into the setting, it's not enough to distinguish it from the rest of the genre. Anyone who has a soft spot for this setting or enjoys FMV scenes from well-known voice actors should definitely check out "Dead Take."

At its core, "Killing Floor 3" is a more than solid game. The gameplay feels good, albeit underwhelming, and it offers varied levels, a good number of different enemies, and a sufficiently large selection of weapons to keep you interested.

Anyone who loves "TRON" and was also won over by the last film, "TRON: Legacy," will find plenty to fall in love with in "TRON: Catalyst."

Anyone who loves Metroidvanias, especially the classic "Castlevania" games, should definitely check out "Chronicles of the Wolf." The look, gameplay, and soundtrack instantly transport you to a dark, gothic, and monster-infested world in the South of France. Unfortunately, the game's running time is excessively long due to the game's backtracking, and the lack of save options only makes this more obvious.

Cruising across a beautiful and desolate alien planet on a hoverboard while listening to an atmospheric soundtrack is incredibly fun, feels great, and never gets boring. Unfortunately, the rest of "Star Overdrive" can't quite keep up. Most gameplay elements, like the combat and platforming, aren't bad, but they never come close to blowing you away. Crafting and leveling feel very superficial. If you get involved in the story and the world, you can still have a good time with the title.

While it might have been a mediocre title fifteen years ago, today it can't compete with either new games or the classics from its original era. But all in all, we think that's okay. It might be useful for a little nostalgia boost, but anyone looking for a fun or good game should steer clear of "Captain Blood."

The duck detective's second case is fantastic, and it's simply a joy to be able to enjoy a short, crisp, and entertaining detective adventure with many exciting elements. The fact that we can now play Eugene McQuacklin's investigations entirely in German is the icing on the cake.

As a shoot 'em up, however, it only works to a limited extent. Because a large portion of each playthrough is randomly generated, the game is very difficult to learn. At the same time, it offers more variety than the usual side-scrolling genre representatives. You can definitely spend a lot of time with the game if you're willing to embrace this combination of genres.

It's clever, addictive, and never fails to surprise. "Blue Prince" is already one of the best titles of the year, and anyone with even the slightest interest in the genre should not miss it. It's a magical experience!

The short playing time, the lack of replay value, the lack of presence of the mascots, the lack of a sense of horror, and the sometimes frustrating controls are just some of these criticisms. "Finding Frankie" laid the foundation for a series, and it remains to be hoped that future spin-offs will offer more.

All in all, however, it's a title definitely worth a playthrough – if only to experience the music in conjunction with the gameplay!

Getting started is pretty tough, though, because you're bombarded with an incredible amount of text explaining all the systems. It can get just as tough when you move up to higher arenas, because the screen is overloaded with so many effects that the frame rate can even get into combat.

Although "Big Helmet Heroes" offers casual action with a nice look from the first minute, it lacks any depth. The story is thin and the gameplay is very shallow. You can have a bit of fun, especially in co-op, but the battles are mostly limited to simply pressing buttons in the hope that you don't lose sight of yourself and your opponents.

"Orcs Must Die! Deathrap" does a lot of things right, especially in its flagship discipline, a mixture of tower defense and action. Having an effective plan and implementing it with your traps and your own skills is brilliant. It looks beautiful and just feels good.

The controls and battles are clumsy, the hit feedback sometimes seems like it came from hell, and the content not taken from the film is sometimes quite strange. At the same time, however, the title can be entertaining for a few hours if you consider it a time capsule from the year 2000.

With " Dynasty Warriors: Origins " there is a new start, but the battles of epic proportions remain the heart of the game.

The gods of the Greek pantheon are front and center in “Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island”. They feel like real characters and it is a joy to get to know them. Unfortunately the gameplay is a very shallow affair that consists mostly of finding an item on one side of the island that you have to deliver to a god on the other side of the island. This can be very appealing though and combined with the great cast it results in more than one long and annoying fetch quest. Paired with the great visuals and so many very cute animations makes it a worthwhile stay on Ambrosia Island.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is a fantastic rhythm game that is now available on all platforms. It offers a nice selection of songs in different genres, feels great when played and is very colorful and weird. Using a virtual city as a menu isn’t great and not being able to just play and get all the experience points to level up feels bad. But it’s still a fantastic title that looks and sounds amazing.
