With fast and smooth control, stunning visuals and plenty of game modes, Street Fighter 6 is a new star on the fighting scene. As usual, it is difficult to predict how well-functioning and balanced the online part is, but the potential for something really good is there. If nothing else, hours of fun await you in the delightfully strange single-player campaign.

In combat, Fire Emblem Engage is the best in the series. Classic game mechanics coexist with new clever, if gimmicky, elements of entertaining but painfully unforgiving combat. Outside of the battles, however, the adventure doesn't engage as much and is a noticeable setback alongside its predecessor. But if you're primarily after strategic combat, Fire Emblem Engage is a perfect fit.

When the horror classic Dead Space makes a comeback in the form of a remake, the adventure feels both familiar and new. The giant spaceship Ishimura is as delightfully unwelcoming as it used to be, as are the heavy, meaty battles. Although the horror level is uneven and some moments outdated, Dead Space Remake is an excellent return visit that has improved on just the right points.

With hysterical excessive action, Bayonetta 3 is unlike anything else. Even the predecessors are in the lee. The adventure constantly surprises with new elements and mighty battles, but not always to the good. On the one hand, the whole becomes fragmented and uneven, and on the other hand, the Nintendo Switch does not really mess with the developers' ambitions. But a damn entertaining action game it is nonetheless.

Graphics aren't everything and buggy releases are nothing new, but for Nintendo to release its golden calf in this condition is a big disappointment. The foundation still entertains greatly, and a couple of new clever touches elevate the adventure above its predecessors. But when lots of both big and small flaws constantly make themselves felt, it's hard to appreciate the pocket monsters' latest adventures.

In the fourth part of the Dark Anthology saga, we visit an old hotel filled with mystery and deadly traps. Updated game mechanics we also get, but as the control is still uncut, it overturns rather than helps. Even the sometimes strange cut remains. With that said; The cinematic concept of many story-crucial decisions still holds up and creates a wonderfully nerve-wracking experience.

When the blue hedgehog again runs on our television screen, it is with mixed results. For every part we genuinely like, there are elements that do their best to hack apart the joy of gaming. That's a shame, because this is in several ways the best Sonic game in three dimensions. If you're a big Sonic fan, Sonic Frontiers is still worth a look, despite all the problems.

When the God of War saga debuts on Playstation 5, we're treated to an epic adventure that thunders on with strong characters, bombastic scenes, beautiful views and masterful battles. At the same time, it's a slightly too faithful sequel where it's noticeable that the roots are partly stuck in technology from 2013. Ultimately, Ragnarök is a worthy sequel and an excellent action game, but certainly we had hoped for a little more.

Gotham Knights has the potential to be fantastic, but a rushed-out release means that both small and big problems are constantly gnawing at the gaming experience. Behind the slightly too many misses, however, is a sometimes brilliant adventure that in several ways beats the classic Arkham trilogy. Now we just hope that in the reasonably near future the game will receive updates that grind away the parts that chafe.

Valkyrie Elysium is in many ways reminiscent of a Playstation 2 game – in an unexpectedly good way. With old-fashioned environments and strange presentation, the first impression is wobbly, but the well-controlled and intense combat makes the adventure entertain so much that some outdated elements can't lower our mood.

Grounded is a cozy and scary game at the same time. One moment we explore the exciting world and gather material for our base in peace and quiet, and the next we panic when a huge bloodthirsty spider wants to sink its teeth into us.

When Nintendo's unique Splatoon series reaches its third installment, the addictive online mode is joined by a single-player mode that's at least as high-class. With single-player courses filled with clever and varied ideas, this is Nintendo at its best. In online mode, a lot is like it used to be – but why complain about something that's still fun?

In Endling – Extinction is Forever, we follow a fox mother and her puppies in a desperate struggle for survival in a world destroyed by man. The environmental theme is obvious, but never so exaggerated that it annoys. Instead, we're busy trying to keep our pups alive on a journey that scares and touches more than much — despite not a single word being uttered.

As The Last of Us finds its way to the Playstation 5, the graphics have been given a loving complete renovation. Otherwise, much is the same as before, although a number of minor improvements do a lot for the experience. There are still elements that gossip that the game's roots stem from old technology, but there's nothing stopping The Last of Us: Part 1 from touching, intimidating, and engaging as much now as it was then.

After nine years of hibernation, the Saints Row series is making a comeback. A comeback that is an outdated turkey and sanctimonious entertainment of high class at the same time. Although we too often growl in frustration, we also find it difficult to put down the controller – it's so much fun! Most of the time anyway.

After making a success on Playstation, PC gamers now get the opportunity to take on Marvel's Spider-man. Although some parts of the adventure felt outdated as early as four years ago, the good parts are just as delightfully entertaining now as they were then. The fact that the move to pc is just as good as we hoped does not make matters worse.

With the third game in the Xenoblade saga, Monolith Soft outperforms themselves and delivers one of the best Japanese role-playing games ever, regardless of format. While the adventure is weighed down by some unnecessary padding, complicated subtleties and technology that sometimes becomes too much for the Switch – it's hard not to be totally captured by the exciting and moving journey.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is a well-stocked expansion that builds on the base game. It's new difficult monsters, a new city, and some new game mechanics. While it's not a game-changing addition, the expansion is a must-have for fans – and also a decently good starting point for beginners.

F1 22 continues in tracks as familiar as well-made. This year with even sharper graphics and physics. Last year's exciting story part is unfortunately deleted, and instead we get to play F1 star with luxurious watches and clumsy supercars. What a buy-down. Fortunately, the setting, career mode and, not least, the driving feel are top notch.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is a game with one foot in the 90s and the other in the present. The foundation is just like in the old 2D classics, but honed control and smart additions do a lot for the whole. This is modern retro at its best.
