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.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set five years after Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Cal Kestis is still trying to evade the Empire. Cal has now gained the necessary experience and you as a player can continue his adventure. New planets are visited that are also a lot bigger than in the previous part. Don't worry, you can now accelerate to certain places on those planets without having to go through everything. The necessary improvements have been made and the fact that you can now learn your own fighting style is a big plus. Unfortunately, the game sometimes drops some stitches in the technical field, but that does not make fighting with a lightsaber any less.

Burning Shores perfectly picks up the story after the events of Horizon Forbidden West. At twenty euros, the expansion is not even that expensive and can be completed fairly quickly. Los Angeles looks beautiful and story-wise it's pretty solid too. Now waiting for the latest part to appear, although that will take a while. Until then, keep flying around Burning Shores.

Capcom manages to provide the great Resident Evil 4 with a remake that succeeds in all areas. It feels familiar, but also has the necessary innovation for the fans. Frustrations from the past have been addressed in the present, which also makes those parts feel nice to play. In addition, they have also succeeded in returning to the original concept with Resident Evil 4, some more horror elements. Capcom once again proves with Resident Evil 4 that they can release successful remakes.

Destiny 2: Lightfall picks up a year after the events of The Witch Queen and seasons in between. It is an action-packed expansion that does not reach the epic story of The Witch Queen. It has some positive changes that the community has been begging for for years almost. Still, some of those changes are time consuming and don't quite show up. But the biggest flaw is and remains a well-developed story that leaves you with more questions than answers. Hopefully this will change in the coming seasons.

Deliver us Mars is a direct sequel to Deliver us the Moon by Dutch developer KeokeN Interactive. Deliver us Mars takes us to a new planet, Mars. Mars is the new playing field for Kathy. New elements have been added such as climbing. However, this often feels frustrating. You can also do puzzles and these get a bit boring after doing the same thing a few times. Fortunately, the various environments are good enough to keep you busy for a few hours.

We Were Here Forever does exactly what its previous three predecessors have done: immerse you in complex puzzles and lots of communication. Together with someone else you have to unravel the secrets of Castle Rock. We Were Here Forever looks better and this time crossplay is also possible. The puzzles are challenging again and working together has never been more fun and frustrating at the same time. Some hiccups here and there and a somewhat negligible story. Still, you will mainly play We Were Here Forever for the challenge.

Marvel's Midnight Suns does something completely different than we're used to. It is turn-based, which means that the game pace is considerably lower. Although the story is not very spectacular, the diversity of heroes is. It is strategic thinking about which cards you play and which you want to exchange. Fortunately, there is also a moment of peace and you can freely explore the monastery and its surroundings. You must like Marvel's Midnight Suns. If that is the case, then as a fan you will get a lot of satisfaction from this.

The Callisto Protocol tries to feel like a horrogame from the very first moment, but lacks a bit of that suspense that you can find elsewhere. It all looks nice and rancid and it also plays well. The limited number of items you can take with you and not knowing whether you are closing yourself off from an area is less. Nevertheless, The Callisto Protocol provides a lot of hours of play, but it will not rank with games like Dead Space and Resident Evil.

Scorn is a beautiful game that feels bad and at times even challenging. The philosophy of figure it out is clearly noticeable. This makes Scorn frustrating at times, despite the short running time of the game. Scorn is a fun game to pick up between all those AAA games.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is the fourth and final game of this first season. The story is based on an actual serial killer and his murder castle. The story is well put together, just like the new mechanics that have been added. Although the game feels recognizable here and there, but that's not very bad. What is bad are the bugs and glitches that the game has at the moment. Although these will soon be rectified.

Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom looks beautiful because of the anime style. As beautiful as it looks, it all feels very tiring. You are often doing the same thing and therefore you will never entertain yourself for hours because your attention span goes down quickly. Nevertheless, it is especially nice to play in between if you are tired of the larger games.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is an improvement over Call of Duty: Vanguard. The single player plays well, despite the fact that you buy this for the online multiplayer. Infinity Ward is certainly not finished with this part and there will also be a lot of new content such as new maps in the coming period. Infinity Ward is already busy with that and with the first season and Warzone 2.0, the fans will be sweet for a while. The only hope is that Infinity Ward will also give the necessary attention to Cooperative and what exactly they want to do with Raids. All in all, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is another big blast, but a blast with a recognizable flavor.
