SEASON: A letter to the future points with its emotional storytelling and a great, meditative world. A few technical shortcomings hinder it from being a true hit.

Exploring ancient civilization in Memorrha is fun when you love puzzling and the logic of symbols.

In its basic structure, Lone Ruin is an easy game - which doesn't mean that any trip to its lone ruins will be easy. This might be a game for people that usually don't like roguelikes because I found the game to be more accessible than many others. It is, however, also quite repetitive and not every part of it is perfect.

Need for Speed Unbound is the best new Need for Speed in recent years - which means it is a solid, yet not great arcade racing game.

My career as a patrol officer was over soon. I think fans of simulations can enjoy the game. I found a lot of things that weren't working well, though. This city and missions were full of bugs.

God of War Ragnarök is a mighty sequel that excels its predecessor in nearly every regard. Only the graphics are a bit disappointing on PS5.

Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch certainly has potential. But nearly all of it is lost under piles and piles of bugs and technical issues. It's really sad to see the game in the state it has been released.

Fitness Boxing 2 is a competent fitness program to workout every day. It's a pity that the moves are not correctly detected and that there are a few technical issues. I've been using Fitness Boxing 2 for a few months now though and am really satisfied with it.

Trifox is a creative game and an amazing debut for Glowfish Interactive. Playing on Nintendo Switch though I got the impression that choosing another platform for the game might be better. There are lot of technical hiccups - and also the difficulty spikes of the game which are very frustrating.

Bus Simulator: City Ride really is fun and I think I enjoyed it more than the other console versions of the Bus Simulator. All features are in the game but have been reduced to make an appropriate Switch version. There are quite a few issues still be fixed, however, the game could really need some more polish.

Storywise, A Plague Tale: Requiem is a perfect sequel with a lot of characters to like or dislike. This journey with Amicia and Hugo is a lot bigger as well. The gameplay cannot hold up though. There are many AI issues and also some technical issues on PS5 which is unfortunate as I remember the predecessor as a really polished game.

LEGO Bricktales overall is an enjoyable adventure in well-designed LEGO worlds. The central element though, the building, could not fully convince me due to its clunky controls.

I like Lemon Cake and what it's offering: It's not really a wholesome game even if it looks like one. Everyday life in a bakery can get stressful after all. It's really fun though to see the bakery grow. I have a bad feeling about the high price of the console versions though.

Dakar Desert Rally fully surprised me: It racing onto the winners' podium of racing games for me. Dakar Desert Rally can be brutal, but is offers a great experience on the tracks while being accessible for everyone.

PAW Patrol Grand Prix is another function, but fast-to-be-forgotten kart racing game.

Dorfromantik shows beautifully that combining relaxed gameplay with strategical depth works. You can play Dorfromantik to just create your own, nice world. Or you can dive into the specialities of its gameplay mechanics to build really well-designed worlds.

I spent nearly 50 hours with the Apple Arcade version of Wylde Flowers. I guess the same will happen again with the Nintendo Switch version. Wylde Flowers is one of my wholesome games 2022. You get the lovely town of Fairhaven in a solid Switch port.

Potion Permit nearly is the wholesome game that I was looking for but not quite. I love Moonbury and all its stories. There are those weird bugs all over the game though. And also, I spend more time cutting trees than healing my patients. The grind in this game is unbelievable and nearly absurd. And still, I have a lot of fun - just because of Moonbury and the great stories it tells.

In A Memoir Blue, you play a dream and that's what stays: It's a very short experience, telling a good story with a very important topic. But it's over so fast it might not stick in your memory as well as it should.

There's a lot to like about the story, setting and tactical elements of the fighting system and development of the demons. But that's a sharp contrast to the otherwise bland, even repetitive gameplay. Oh, and Soul Hackers 2 has been the first game in a while that made me angry with its loading screens.
