The PC version of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is undoubtedly a success, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call it the best port Sony has ever created. The game runs smoothly even in the most demanding scenes with ray tracing enabled, and I didn’t encounter any crashes or bugs. Add to that the new content and support for widescreen monitors, and you get a port that’s anything but commonplace these days. Some players might be surprised by minor details, such as holding your breath with the Alt key, but this is just a minor quirk that you can easily change. Nine and a half out of ten.

RIDE 6 won’t have it easy at all in the racing game market. On the one hand, the developers have managed to create a broader scope for motorcycle gameplay, which is accompanied by much greater accessibility for new players and more manageable controls that won’t frustrate you as much as they did in the past. Add to that the new off-road tracks and nearly 300 licensed bikes. However, all of this is undermined by the new career mode, RIDE Fest, which lacks a certain vibrancy and any real reason to spend dozens of hours with the game or strive for career advancement. Unfortunately, this isn’t Forza, where you can let loose in an open world. That’s not to say that RIDE 6 is a bad game. Personally, I’d give it a 7, mainly for the driving model and the new gravel racing feature. However, it’s a 7 with a big exclamation point and a warning that the next installment needs a revolution—not just more of the same. So who should I recommend this game to? If, for some reason, you found RIDE 5 too difficult, you’ll struggle much less with RIDE 6, and it will be an interesting racing game for you. However, if you’re a die-hard fan, some of the changes might not be entirely to your liking, in which case we recommend either waiting for a sale or simply skipping this installment.

Formula Legends is definitely an interesting game that, with its simple design and controls, takes you through entire generations of the Formula 1 racing championship. If you’re looking for something lighthearted to help pass the time while waiting for the new season, just want to relax with something simple, or are looking for a gentle game for your kids, Formula Legends is exactly what you’re looking for. Seven and a half out of ten.

Euro Truck Simulator 2: Nordic Horizons is yet another sign that the developers at the Czech studio SCS Software love creating trucks and pour their heart and soul into them. For 17.99 euros, you’ll get your hands on the most expansive and picturesque landscape ever released in the Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator universes. We definitely think it’s a success, and it would be a mistake for you, as a fan, to ignore this release. Nine and a half out of ten.

Project Motor Racing had a vision: to become a competitor to other established racing series, such as iRacing or Assetto Corsa, and to build on the success of the Project Cars series, which had won over many fans who had been eagerly awaiting another solid installment for years. However, Project Motor Racing falls short in almost every respect. Starting with a half-baked career mode with untapped potential and mediocre visuals, and ending with significant technical issues and a host of bugs. So who should I recommend Project Motor Racing to? As it stands, I wouldn’t invest in the game; however, if the developers manage to fix the technical issues and bugs, it could be a decent racing game for players who aren’t particularly fond of pure racing simulators. That is, of course, assuming Project Motor Racing goes on sale for at least 30–40 euros. For now, however, I’m forced to give the game only five and a half points out of ten.

Deathground, from the independent studio Jaw Drop Games, builds on a solid foundation that undoubtedly offers a lot of fun when playing with friends, though it falls a bit short in single-player mode. If you have at least one friend, love survival games, and want something a little different, I can definitely recommend Deathground. If you’d like to enjoy this game solo, I’d recommend waiting a bit to see if the developers come up with a better-optimized single-player mode—preferably one that’s playable without an internet connection. However, if you can live with the fact that you can’t save your progress, pause the game, or that you’ll have to start completely over every time you quit, feel free to pick up Deathground. Just be prepared to set aside at least two hours for each mission. Seven and a half out of ten.

CarX Street is an interesting racing game that, considering its price tag, boasts an extensive fleet of cars, sophisticated tuning options, and a decent driving model. That said, the driving model might take some getting used to at first. On the other hand, the game could still use some work in terms of artificial intelligence and content updates. But if you’re a fan of the Need for Speed or Forza Horizon series and are looking for a racing game just to unwind, I can definitely recommend CarX Street. Six and a half out of ten.

Alaskan Road Truckers is a truck simulator that could have had—and hopefully still has—great potential to stand out from its competitors. The inclusion of survival elements, the ability to step out of the truck, and the option to be completely self-sufficient are features that haven’t been seen before, and this game will certainly find its loyal fanbase. Unfortunately, the overall experience is marred by several glitches and bugs, subpar technical aspects, and graphics that are now outdated by today’s standards. Still, I can recommend this title to anyone who enjoys ETS2 and ATS and is looking for something new that SCS Software hasn’t provided us with yet. Everyone else, though, should steer clear—at least for now. Five and a half out of ten.

Compared to the previous MFS 2020, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 brings revolutionary changes and offers many exciting new features. Perhaps the biggest one is the extensive career mode, where you can try out most well-known activities and professions, as well as the fantastic photo mode, which lets you explore the world’s greatest landmarks. I also appreciate the ability to step out of the aircraft and the implementation of pre-flight checks. Unfortunately, there are a few snags. The main issue is the transition to a cloud-based environment, which didn’t go entirely smoothly and also limits options for those without access to a fast internet connection—even if they have a powerful PC. If you loved the previous installment and want to try out these new features, feel free to invest those 80 euros in the game. In my opinion, there are enough innovations to justify Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024’s price tag. However, if you’re not that interested in a career mode and just want to fly freely, there’s no need to rush into buying it. Eight and a half out of ten.

Farming Simulator 25 is the latest addition to the series, enriching this now-legendary farming simulator with new crops—most notably rice cultivation—a greater emphasis on livestock farming, and, most importantly, the implementation of terrain deformation, which simply makes Farming a slightly more realistic simulator once again. Unfortunately, however, some aspects weren’t fully fleshed out, and for example, the aforementioned terrain deformation—which the developers talked about so much—has only a minimal impact on driving or physical properties and is, once again, practically just a visual texture, much like the snow in last year’s edition. Technically speaking, though, the world of virtual farming has taken a small step forward, even if I simply expected more from some of the new features. Seven and a half out of ten.

To my surprise, the new Call of Duty, subtitled Black Ops 6, has managed to take a huge step forward from its predecessor and improve, in many ways, precisely those aspects that the developers have literally neglected in recent years. The biggest change is definitely the single-player campaign, which has grown not only in length but also in the quality of its content. While it still doesn’t offer any revolutionary or intricate mechanics, it’s clear that the developers really put in the effort this time, and the campaign isn’t a bad experience at all. However, for a price tag of 70 euros, it’s still relatively lacking, and the multiplayer remains the main draw—it’s still one of the series’ strongest points. Nevertheless, I can recommend Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to those who have already given up on this franchise and had no hope for a positive turnaround. It might not be a bad idea to return to the world of Call of Duty after some time and give the series another chance. I think that, combined with a small discount—say, a price of 50 euros—it would be worth considering. Six and a half out of ten.

Sengoku Dynasty is another title in the series from Toplitz Production that stands out for its entertaining and detailed depiction of construction and hunting, and addresses some of the issues from the early access period, such as the ability to fast-travel. Unfortunately, there are also some minor flaws, including poor optimization and visuals that won’t exactly offend you, but won’t blow you away either. All in all, however, I can recommend this title to anyone who loved its predecessor, Medieval Dynasty, to which Sengoku Dynasty bears a resemblance in many ways. Seven out of ten.

Reviewing F1 24 is quite a difficult task, as there are several important aspects to consider. On the one hand, you get a career mode that’s been overhauled almost from the ground up, now offering you greater opportunities for career growth. On the other hand, however, the developers have introduced a modified driving model that leans a bit more toward arcade-style gameplay, which kind of hints that EA and Codemasters have decided to make this installment accessible to a wider audience. While this move may be positive for many, there will also be plenty of players who will hate it. We can therefore recommend F1 24 primarily to those fans and players who aren’t looking for a hardcore simulation and just want to relax while playing. For everyone else, I’d rather recommend checking out the older F1 23, which has a nearly perfect driving model. Seven out of ten.

Sociable Soccer 24 is an arcade sports game that focuses primarily on simple controls and smooth, fast-paced matches, and doesn’t require players to perform any complex actions or go through a learning curve. Thanks to these features, the game will be especially appreciated by those who just want some casual fun without having to think too much. However, it can also be a great family game for long winter evenings when you just want to kill some time with a friend or your kids. It’s a bit of a shame that there aren’t any customization options—especially for match length—or user-configurable controls. Even so, it’s a well-made game that we can recommend to all fans of casual games. Seven out of ten.

Spellforce: Conquest of Eo is an interesting departure from the classic Spellforce series, emphasizing turn-based battles and drawing stylistic inspiration from games like Age of Wonders and Heroes of Might and Magic. This change may not appeal to everyone, especially fans and veterans of the series. However, thanks to its intuitive and simple gameplay, it opens the door to newcomers who would like to explore the Spellforce universe but have avoided it so far. Seven out of ten.

All in all, MotoGP 24 isn’t a bad game at all. However, it could use a little more polish and much more innovation to justify the €49.99 price tag. The game offers a slightly improved career mode with the addition of race stewards and a rider market, but nothing more. On the other hand, it still falls short due to its flawed artificial intelligence and the implementation of adaptive AI, which, in my experience, doesn’t work very reliably yet. For owners of the previous installment, there probably isn’t much reason to upgrade. As for newcomers, I can recommend MotoGP 24, but be sure to at least turn off the adaptive AI while racing. Then you might get a quality racing experience that fully suits your preferences. Six and a half points out of ten.

At its core, Asphalt 9: Legends offers a fairly interesting and, at first, entertaining arcade racing experience, but this is largely undermined by excessive monetization elements. Yes, you can get a lot of things completely for free, but the cost is hundreds of hours of gameplay and constant grinding, which isn’t really worth it given the constantly repetitive races. If you’re just looking to kill some time, Asphalt 9: Legends can be a good way to unwind. For more long-term gameplay, however, there are much more polished titles out there, especially on PC and gaming consoles. Six out of ten.

Expeditions: A MudRunner Game is a great follow-up to the previous Snowrunner and also introduces several new features and improvements. While its focus and greater accessibility may disappoint veterans of the series a bit, it still offers excellent physics and dozens of hours of massive, tough challenges. It’s just a shame there aren’t more locations—or at least more off-road vehicles. Seven out of ten.

After nine years, Rocksteady has returned with a brand-new title that, while having nothing to do with the original Batman trilogy, attempts to build on the popular Arkham universe. Unfortunately, *Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League* turned out to be a rather uninteresting and unentertaining game that suffers most of all from a lack of quality content and is essentially just a rehash of the same old stuff. We’ll see if future updates improve the quality. Personally, though, I’m very concerned that Rocksteady’s new game is doomed to an early demise due to players’ dwindling interest. Perhaps if the developers had created a new Batman game, they would have fared much better. Five out of ten.

Electrician Simulator is, in essence, just a simple point-and-click game without a hint of any complexity, in which you click on everything the game itself asks you to. Although installing electrical wiring or repairing outlets at a customer’s home is fun, the whole experience is ruined primarily by the second part—servicing electrical appliances—which takes up far more time than typical electrician work. No matter how hard I try, I feel like something is missing that would liven up the overall gameplay a bit, and that’s why, on behalf of us at Gaming Professors, I have to give Electrician Simulator only five out of ten points.
