7 / 10.0 - Diablo IV
Jun 27, 2023

Diablo IV takes the series back to its roots, though its mechanics build on the previous installment and the mobile game Diablo Immortal. For those who want to enjoy a fantastical tale of temptation toward evil and also find the ARPG genre accessible, it offers a well-crafted campaign with a high degree of replay value. Conversely, for those primarily interested in action and competitive play, it offers more or less only what we’ve seen before; innovations are often met with negative or mixed reactions. Only time will tell how many loyal players Blizzard can retain. Unfortunately, everything is undermined by the paid battle pass and the overall aggressive monetization that Blizzard applies to in-game items.

7 / 10.0 - Forspoken
Apr 21, 2023

It’s a shame that Forspoken wasn’t a huge commercial success. Players were put off by the high price tag for what is actually quite a small amount of content (you can finish it quickly if you’re not aiming to complete everything but just want to get through the story), and some players were also bothered by the graphics and optimization. But you can’t please everyone. I’m sorry that this kitschy (but in a good way, in my opinion) beautiful love story, which fully unfolds in the end, didn’t melt the heart of the average gamer, just like the supposedly imperfect open world and combat system. Then we have to ask how Forspoken stacks up against games like Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, and others. However, since a review reflects the reviewer’s subjective opinion, I’m giving the game an above-average rating.

9 / 10.0 - Until You Fall
Mar 21, 2021

Bottom line, Until You Fall offers a very solid VR experience for its price, offering a lot of variability and replayability even with the limited maps. The only blemish is the lack of additional campaigns, which we would expect to see in a game hundreds of crowns more expensive. It took me a while to get into some of the mechanics, but in the end I was hooked enough that I can recommend it to you and give it a high rating.
