Planet Zoo: Console Edition provides for the needs of console regemers to have their own digital zoo. In 2019 it was the turn of the PC gamers, but now people with a PlayStation 5 and an Xbox series can also get started. The control on the console works great, but it still works just a little better on a PC. The tutorial is clear enough to start your zoo afterwards. There are lots of possibilities and maybe it is just a bit too much at times. Yet you will be able to enjoy this endlessly if this genre lies.

Planet Crafter is a very entertaining game where you focus primarily on making a planet habitable. Sounds very boring in the base, but you are going to enjoy it more and more. It is not a game where you have to pay attention to the graphic side and certainly not to the story, graphically it can feel a bit simple and the story is very concise. There are numerous possibilities that help you make the planet habitable and that simply works great.

Rise of the Ronin takes you to an exciting time in Japanese history. However, that says it all. Rise of the Ronin borrows many elements from well-known games such as Assassin's Creed and Nioh. The combat can be relatively frustrating due to the different styles you have to learn. There is also a lot to experience in the open world, but it is not always beautiful or challenging. Rise of the Ronin is therefore primarily a game where you can enjoy yourself for a short time.

Helldivers 2 tackles it differently than its predecessor and in this case that has been a good gamble. Helldivers 2 guarantees hours full of pleasure, provided you play this with several and preferably also with friends. It is chaotic and you regularly find yourself on a battlefield. The missions can sometimes feel somewhat repeating, but that cannot be said about the rest. You can completely dress your character and provide it with the latest tools. A wonderful snack for which you are not lost the full pound.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash responds to the popularity of the Japanese animation series Jujutsu Kaisen with two seasons now. This is the only positive thing we can say about this title. This is partly because the Story Mode consists of short boring missions where the tough characters feel incredibly boring. And that is not already, but also the limitation of the story to the first season and the film is disappointing. Environments look recognizable, but for the rest Jujutsu Kaisen is: Cursed Clash an insult to the fans.

Let's Sing 2024 does what you would expect, letting loose on contemporary music with a touch of nostalgia. You can hang out with friends again, against strangers online or just relax alone. The career mode is nice, but only if you are not yet familiar with the series. Classic is where you have free choice to decide for yourself what you sing. With 35 songs and possibly extra from the VIP Pass, you will be entertained for hours. So grab your phone or microphone and go crazy.

RoboCop: Rogue City is the best that Teyon has presented us when it comes to youth heroes from the 80s. RoboCop plays nice and stiff and the action is also good. Writing out tickets feels especially funny when it comes to illegal parking. However, the quality remains outdated graphically and you should only play this if you are a fan of the films.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III picks up where they left off last year. Changing course in the meantime turns out to be anything but effective. The single player is far too short and feels too rushed. The multiplayer also does exactly what you would expect, namely not being entertaining due to the toxic behavior of the players. Add to that the fact that there are no new maps, but only directly transferred maps from Modern Warfare 2 from 2009. Is there anything positive about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III? Yes, Zombies is quite entertaining because there is more to it.

Alan Wake II picks up the thread again literally and figuratively thirteen years later. Alan Wake has been missing for thirteen years and FBI agent Saga Anderson has to investigate a murder in Bright Falls that could be linked to Alan Wake. What follows is a story between two main characters full of secrets and an escape from this nightmare that reigns in Bright Falls. Alan Wake II is more horror than action and the jump scares certainly help with that. Alan Wake II even feels uncomfortable at times and that is certainly a positive sign in this case.

Animal Hospital does exactly what you would expect. You have to research animals, heal them and receive money to move on to the next injured person. It is simplistic and therefore ideal to just pick up in between. If you expect more depth, you will be disappointed with Animal Hospital.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 shows exactly where the power of the PlayStation 5 lies. Swinging around NYC never felt so satisfying and now you can float to Brooklyn too. From the first minute to the credits, the story hits like a bomb. The new skills provide a different way of playing and there is also plenty to do in this game. The latter sometimes feels like a repetition, but that certainly shouldn't spoil the fun because you are Spider-Man after all!

Lies of P is a soulslike that distinguishes itself mainly with its story and accessibility. The environments look beautiful and the well-known story of Pinocchio makes Krat and his surroundings feel like a fun city trip. Make no mistake, Lies of P may be a bit more accessible, but it punishes you mercilessly if you are greedy during the fights. A pleasant addition to the soulslike genre.

Starfield can best be described as Skyrim in space and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. In fact, it even feels familiar and can draw new players into a new world. Starfield is immense and you just don't know where to start. The minimal to no explanation really makes it feel like a big adventure for you. You make strategic choices throughout the game, such as providing your ship with power, which skills you want to teach your character to which mission you want to do first. Starfield is overwhelming and perhaps a bit too much for some.

We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip is a fun excursion for people who find the We Were Here series quite challenging. The puzzles are more accessible and you get just as much fun out of them. It's easy to complete in an afternoon and you can keep playing the puzzles until you get gold. An additional advantage is that We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip is also free for a month. So what are you waiting for?

Immortals of Aveum is the first project from Ascendant Studios and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just not a high-flyer because the game doesn't get past the border of somewhat entertaining. The story is quite mediocre, the controls are quite counterintuitive on the console and the main missions are linear. There could have been more if it had been given more of an adult touch.

Fort Solis is the first project from Fallen Leaf Studio and takes you to the Fort Solis base on the planet Mars. Something is going on and it's up to you as a player to find out what. Fort Solis knows how to give you a very oppressive feeling while not much actually happens. The story is sometimes a bit muddled and the playing time is on the short side with about four to six hours. Nevertheless, Fort Solis does give you a good feeling afterwards and it tastes like more of Fallen Leaf Studio.

Dave the Diver is all about what the name says, Dave being a diver. During the day he explores the sea and hunts for fish to have them prepared in the evening at the sushi restaurant. Although it sounds so simple, it is more than that. It's simplistic, which is why this game works so well. You are thinking about your equipment, but also about the menu for that evening. Dave the Diver is an ideal snack that is unfortunately only available on PC for the time being.

Aliens: Dark Descent is a real-time strategy game where you have to think hard about your choices. The story isn't Oscar-worthy, but it's still compelling enough to enjoy Aliens: Dark Descent. You have to be a real fan of the movies and this genre game, otherwise you will get bored quickly.

Park Beyond takes you into the mind of a manager who must ensure that an amusement park runs smoothly and brings in money. Sounds interesting, but we already know this formula from Planet Coaster. Park Beyond borrows a lot of elements from that game and that makes Park Beyond feel like a cheap clone in a new jacket. Certainly not a bad game, because customizing your roller coaster yourself is a fun option. Don't expect too much from it though, because it's fun for an afternoon and then you're done.

F1 23 does exactly what we missed in F1 22. Braking Point is back and quite entertaining. In addition, there are different modes where you can test your skills and there are also opportunities to learn how to race with fewer tools. The new track, Las Vegas, drives great and visually F1 23 has been polished up here and there. F1 23 is mainly intended for the fans and these fans will therefore drive the necessary kilometers to be the new virtual Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton.
