GreedFall: The Dying World managed to charm me with its varied game world, companion management and rock-solid story. I therefore opted for the story mode. On the other hand, I couldn't be pleased by the many bugs and glitches I ran into (just like in Styx: Blades of Greed), the gibberish chatter that distracted me and that overwhelming feeling that the game feels unfinished. If I had been from Spiders I would have stayed in early access for another six months and taken the feedback from the community or internal testers to heart. The game is ambitious, you have to call a cat a cat, the ideas and the concept are good but you feel from everything that it rattles. But as I said, Nacon is in dirty papers and they will need pennies. This does not benefit the final quality of the game.

Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition – Switch 2 Edition remains a sturdy sci-fi RPG that is more than worth all your attention. I myself am a bigger fan of these kinds of games than of the umpteenth Super Mario, Kirby or other Nintendo Coryfee. If you have already played the game, a free upgrade package is available for your Switch. If you haven't played the game yet, don't hesitate any longer and pack your bags towards Mira. It will probably be the adventure of your life.

All in all, I expected more from this new scion. The combination of freedom, innovative gameplay and atmospheric environments makes Styx: Blades of Greed highly recommended for any lover of sneaky stealth games. If you are someone who likes pure action, then this is NOT for you! Sneaking, crawling, shadow play, killing (or not) and stealing, it is an art that is neatly portrayed in this PURE stealth game. Stealth gamers will have a big clump on this new scion in the series. On the other hand, there are a lot of elements that bothered me when playing. And unfortunately I have some left over with that.

With *The Outer Worlds 2*, Obsidian has scored a hit for the third time in a row this year. This brand-new sci-fi shooter—and full-fledged RPG—has everything you’d expect from the team behind *Fallout: New Vegas*. Check out that Fairfield vibe—that’s Fallout, right? And that music? That’s Fallout, right? And that super-extensive skill and perk system? That’s Fallout, right? Honestly? I had a blast, wasn’t bored for a second, and experimented with the many possibilities in crafting, dialogues, modding, skills, perks, and weapons. The fact that the game world looks absolutely stunning, the gunplay is smooth, fun, and challenging, and the characters actually have depth makes the overall experience even better. You know what, I’m going to stop writing because Arcadia needs me. My advice: play the game, discover and experience it all for yourself, and above all, write your own story. You’ll thank me later!
