Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is a really solid shooter thanks to the great campaign, excellent zombies mode, and a multiplayer that's fun despite it's flaws.

The bottom line with EA Sports FC 25 is that the game is more of the same that we’ve had from EA Sports in recent years. Age-old bugs and glitches, weird inconsistencies when it comes to gameplay, and the game still has a complete imbalance between defense and offense.

Rise of the Ronin is a great game for everyone who's looking for a new Samurai adventure to sink their teeth into. With a great historical story, impeccable and spectacular combat and amazing visual style, Rise of the Ronin delivers everything you would expect from a Team Ninja title. Add to this classic formula an interesting open world and some fun co-op and you have a great game on your hands. Some small technical issues hold this game back, but they will no doubt be fixed in the future.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is everything you don't want from a live-service looter shooter. Even though the gameplay is alright, the diversity in the missions is almost non-existent, which makes the game very monotone and bland. The characters and story did get a few laughs out of me and proves that Rocksteady still has some worthwhile stories to tell, but in the end it's not enough to keep me going for endless hours.

In short, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 doesn't honor the title it has been given. The campaign is just plain bad, multiplayer mainly banks on your nostalgia with the return of classic maps, and zombies is just the DMZ mode from Warzone but with zombies roaming the map. Gameplay is mostly what you would expect from Call of Duty but seems to have some inconsistencies. You can still have some fun with the title, but it's painfully obvious that this should have been an expansion for last year's MW2.

The reboot of Forza Motorsport delivers a great racing experience with more than enough content to keep you sated for a very long time. Even though it's not necessarily a reboot, Forza Motorsport improves on all its predecessors by doing even more things right, while delivering some new experiences along the way. With its highly addictive systems and refined gameplay, Forza Motorsport is a racegame that you simply can't miss.

EA Sports FC 24 doesn't deliver on the changes the name change would suggest. In the end it's still FIFA, but with a few new things to enjoy. Unfortunately that also means this game is plagued by the same issues that have plagued the FIFA-franchise for years like pay-to-win in FUT, weird situations in Career Mode and multiple bugs that have been there since the dawn of time. Some cool new elements like Evolutions in FUT give a little bit of redeeming quality, but overall it's not great.

Blizzard actually pulled it off. Almost all the elements click correctly in the latest part of Diablo. The story, the characters, the dungeons, the endless possibilities with your character, the open world and much more, it works exceptionally well together. That does not mean that the game is completely flawless, because Diablo IV suffers from problems that games of this size often have.

Destiny 2: Lightfall hits a lot of great notes. The new subclass, Strand, is very cool to use and gives you a lot of new movement options. Neomuna is a true sight to behold and invites players to explore. The most important part of the expansion however is the campaign and even though it has a lot of amazing and cool moments, the story falls short. Lightfall offers up more questions while we should have been getting some answers.

Atomic Heart offers an unique style and atmosphere with exciting gameplay and an incredible soundtrack. The game, however beautifully crafted, falls short in various departments. The protagonist is absolutely awful and shows no interest in all the stuff that is going on in the world of Atomic Heart. That also leads to not really wanting to explore the world to find all the secrets, because the protagonist just doesn't care.

FIFA 23 is trying to give new footballing experiences to players, but falls short on many levels. Graphically the game is extremely impressive and the new match day experiences add a new sensation when stepping on the pitch. However, the problems of old, like janky animations and general slowness, are still present in the gameplay and keep frustration alive. All these things make FIFA 23 a mixed bag of awe and annoyances.

Simply put, Destiny 2 The Witch Queen makes Destiny 2 finally what it should have always been. With improvements in almost every area, a brilliantly crafted setting, and an exceptional story, Bungie is reaching new heights with Destiny 2. It's just a bit of a shame that two subclasses are now in danger of disappearing into obscurity, but bungie is already working on that.

Battlefield 2042 definitely isn't the Battlefield to rule all Battlefields, quite the contrary. The newest shooter from DICE fails to capture what made past Battlefield titles successful and unique. Add to that a myriad of problems that ruin the entire experience and you have a recipe for disaster. Luckily there is still Battlefield Portal which gives us the tools to create a Battlefield that we want. There is still a lot of potential for the future, but right now Battlefield 2042 isn't in a good state.

Turtle Rock Studios has once again created a fantastic co-op shooter with Back 4 Blood. The game is good when playing solo, but amazing when playing with three friends. The gameplay, characters, and card system make the game dynamic and create another dimension for us to enjoy. These things are so great, making the cookie-cutter story and the repetitiveness of the environments just a bit more painful and unfortunately, these elements hold the game back.

FIFA 22 offers a lot of new elements on next-gen. Gameplay is finally going in a clear direction and provides a clear picture of what to expect from this iteration of FIFA. Even though the gameplay finally seems fine, there are quite a few problems. Career is near unplayable thanks to loads of bugs and glitches, Ultimate Team is still a pay-to-win fest and a lot of modes are clearly less important than cash cow Ultimate Team, which is understandable, but still frustrating.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition offers a substantial upgrade over the original trilogy, even though the gameplay is still a bit outdated to today's standards. The trilogy still has a brilliant story and the deep RPG experience that Bioware became famous for. With around 100 hours of content, ridiculous replay value, and a cast of unforgettable characters Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a must-play for every fan of science-fiction and RPGs.

Destruction Allstars provides an interesting experience for a short time. The game doesn't have a lot of variation and lacks quite a bit of content. Since it's a free PS Plus game right now it's worth it to check it out, but if you have to pay full price for this game it's better to leave it on the roadside. Especially because of the shady microtransactions that are present in the game, which give an extra bitter taste to an experience that isn't amazing, to begin with.

Cyberpunk 2077 is, in all regards, a brilliant RPG. It offers everything you want but comes short in a few areas. The AI is dumber than a stump and police spawns are all over the place. Aside from that, the game would be near perfect if it wasn't for the many bugs and crashes you will encounter during playing. The game was released too soon and unfortunately, it's painfully obvious.

The remaster of Spider-Man's 2018 adventure offers a range of impressive graphical upgrades but offers little extra compared to the PS4 original. The new Peter Parker is a welcome change for long-time Spider-Man fans as his looks come closer to the version we know from the comic books. Aside from that, the only thing that holds this game back is that it's only available if you buy the Miles Morales Ultimate Edition. A true shame for new players.

Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition captures what makes the original game great, however, it also constantly reminds us that it isn't as great as its older brother. All the upgrades can't hide that the game is outdated, but it's still extremely addictive and fun to play.
