Black Myth: Wukong is the most anticipated action RPG of the year and impresses with its variety of bosses. The world is full of loving details and impresses in all its splendour. With a playing time of just under 35 hours, the main story is played through and invites you to start a new cycle or to explore the missed bosses or unfinished quests after playing through the 6 chapters. Apart from the technical flaws, Black Myth: Wukong is a fantastic game and lives up to its hype, even if it was a little too easy for my taste.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Sweep the Board is a party game on our PlayStation console, but it's not entirely convincing. Sweep the Board provides countless hours of fun, but the variety is not quite there. After a long dry spell, SEGA brings us an average party game on our consoles.

Last Night of Winter is a fantastic Pixel Souls game that impresses with its unique humour. With a playing time of approx. 4 hours, the game offers a short story, but the atmospheric overall package is convincing. The playing time varies depending on the level of difficulty selected. However, it must be said that there is no New Game+ after playing through the game. Once the game has been played through, it starts all over again as if all memories had disappeared.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game is a fun, asymmetrical horror multiplayer game that has us mesmerised. Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game has the potential to be the next multiplayer horror hit, but some common bugs still need to be fixed to ensure smooth gameplay. At the moment there are often endless loading times or visual bugs, such as a permanent 1HP bar.

Horizon Chase 2 is a fast-paced arcade racer that perfectly captures the vibe of the retro arcade racing games of the 90s. Horizon Chase 2 offers us a modernised version of the old classics and captivates with its fast-paced gameplay. However, with a playing time of just under 15 hours, you have already seen everything and the game only offers the necessary variety in the online races. Horizon Chase 2 makes a solid impression and is thoroughly convincing, although we would have liked a little more story input and more freedom when tuning our car.

INDIKA is a successful, story-driven arthouse game that kept us enthralled until the very end. Even though the game leaves many questions unanswered, you should take a look at the title, because you won't get this gaming experience again in a hurry. INDIKA takes a good approach and shows that arthouse games can also have something in the box.

But pros will also get their money's worth and will find challenging battles and a typical Souls world that is a clear love letter to the Darksouls games.

"Sker Ritual" is an old-school turn-based shooter that doesn't quite fulfil the dream of a classic zombie mode. Although the game has its own fresh ideas, it fails in terms of performance.

With "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth", Square Enix released the most anticipated sequel of the year on 29 February 2024. "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" is a true RPG masterpiece and has exceeded all our expectations. Nevertheless, the question remains as to how the third and final instalment should be designed, as Rebirth has set the bar pretty high. It even goes so far that the remake, which is due to be released in 2020, seems more like a prologue in hindsight.

Alone in the Dark is a fantastic reinterpretation of the classic that breathes a well-deserved "second" life into the game. The game impresses with its puzzles and takes us on a modern nostalgia trip that we have always wanted.
