Tales of Arise is a Japanese role-playing game of classic dimensions. A motley band of young heroes set out to save a world filled with secrets, beautiful cities, fun battles and an exciting story. The technical bit is a bit uneven, the action wobbles a bit and the set-up toughens on in familiar tracks – but for those who want a grand Japanese role-playing game, Tales of Arise is the best in a long time.

Despite the shortcomings, the World of Psychonauts is worth a visit. Sure, we had hoped for a more refined experience, but there is still a lot to like here – and the noisy fans who have longed for years for the sequel will be pleased.

Intense and challenging battles are mixed with amazing characters that populate colorful and lovingly created environments. The tribute words hail and Hades is worth every single one – although we would have liked to have seen more improvements and news alongside the one-year-old Switch version.

When Codemaster's acclaimed F1 series makes its debut on the new consoles, it is not the enhanced graphics that make the biggest impact, but a brand-new story mode. An exciting addition, which unfortunately does not reach its full potential. Fortunately, the superb career mode is intact and slightly improved, as are the many options available to those who prefer to play online. Although some content has been removed since last year's version, and a few other issues remain, F1 2021 offers almost everything an F1 fan could wish for.

Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: The Official Video Game is a collection of sport games that perfectly capture the essence of the old Track ‘n Field series, mixed with the easygoing sport games from 20 years ago. The game is not perfect by any means, and the lack of depth does make it an ill-fit for lone players. But if you are looking for a fun and competitive yet easy to play sports game for both family and friends – this is it.

What may look like an ordinary Japanese action game soon turns out to be so much more. In addition to battles that are as good-looking as they are tactical, we also get charismatic characters, a captivating story, and a well-developed universe. Unfortunately, both the story and the battles stumble upon themselves at times - and the environments often leave a lot to be desired. But despite the shortcomings, Scarlet Nexus is a surprisingly successful mix of action and JRPG – and a must have for anyone who wants an action game with a focus on story and depth.

Collect three of history's most acclaimed space adventures and spruce up gameplay and graphics – can it end in anything but success? Yes and no. Because while The Mass Effect Legendary Edition includes over 100 hours of top-notch story and action, some parts are noticeably outdated – with some new bugs. On the other hand, there's nothing to stop Mass Effect Legendary Edition from being the best way to experience an acclaimed trilogy.

Oddly enough, much is the same from 1999; you follow a more or less firm path forward and should try to photograph as many pocket monsters as possible before the route reaches its end. Something else that's strange is that it's still really fun. At least for a while. Although the photo adventure is more than twice as long as the original and the gameplay moments have evolved, the whole still feels too thin to delight anyone other than Pokémon fans.

It is frustrating and empty; and yet we'll start over right away. We need to find out what happened, we want to discover more of the unparalleled world, we want to fight even harder against all the vile monsters that stand in our way. The unforgiving arrangement will be a watershed, but for anyone with the slightest interest in sci-fi, Returnal is worth having on the radar.

Off the track, MotoGP 21 builds on what its predecessor did well, even if it's not much news. Out on the track, however, we get renovated and more realistic gameplay mechanics. However, we lack more noticeable improvements now that the series has found its way to a new console generation; much more than higher resolution, more details in the environments and significantly shorter charging times we do not get.

Whichever format you choose, a fantastic fun adventure filled with gaming fun awaits. Rarely have we been so surprised by all the imaginative gameplay that constantly replace each other. Not everything hits the spot, but it's still impossible not to be impressed with the big picture.

The Nioh Collection consists of two demanding games in the so-called Soulsborne genre, a genre that dances in its best moments on a thin line between extreme frustration and boundless happiness. The two Nioh games offer over 100 hours of just that; it is extremely difficult and frustrating – but also rewarding and fair. In the PlayStation 5 version, the two games are better than ever, but at the same time, the jump from the original versions is not great. However, if you are a fan of the genre and have missed the Nioh games before, there is nothing to doubt.

After four years, the Hitman trilogy reaches the end of the road – and what an end it is. Not necessarily story-wise, but game-wise, Io Interactive has cobbled together a fantastic sandbox that invites both brutal, clever and purely comic deaths. Depending on the style of play, the adventure may be both too short and too easy, but if you let yourself be sucked into the atmosphere and play quietly and methodically, there are plenty of entertaining hours to download for anyone who wants a smarter action game.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is an improved version of a 10-year-old role-playing game, originally launched for the Nintendo Wii. It is possible to discuss whether the upgrade is sufficient on all fronts, but at least we get a bit finer environments, new music, improved character models and more thoughtful menus – and not least a whole new chapter. But above all, we get a role-playing game that, if you can forgive some outdated details, even today is one of the best the genre has to offer.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is simply an excellent companion for rainy summer days.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is an exciting but unequal adventure. As much as we care about the characters, tickled by the stealth and intimidated by the rats, we are disturbed that everything is so linear and predetermined. Do exactly what the game wants – or you'll die. But despite the lack of real challenge, and a slightly over-unpolished finish, we can't stop playing thanks to all the beautiful environments, nice moments and thrilling scenes. An adventure well worth your time if the basic idea attracts.

Metro Exodus does the most right and is far superior to its predecessors on virtually all points. The semi-open world is lovingly built, as is the interaction with the side characters. What stands out most, however, is the dense atmosphere that constantly makes us sit on full strains.

Twelve years have passed since the last great Ace Combat game. Fortunately, Project Aces have ignored recent failures and instead delivered a game that might be the best in the series.
