Insomniac Games has once again delivered a very cool game with Marvel's Wolverine, offering a more story-driven and linear experience than the Spider-Man games. While the story feels somewhat stretched towards the end and the combat is fairly simple, the game performs well both graphically and gameplay-wise. If you're looking for a cool, story-driven action-adventure game that will keep you busy for around twenty hours, Marvel's Wolverine is definitely worth adding to your wishlist.

So, to come back to the saying, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” That’s certainly the case with SPRAWL zero, and that’s okay. As long as MAETH can handle living in the shadow of giants.

All in all, Welcome to Elderfield is an impressive Gesamtkunstwerk that draws you in with its aesthetic of slimy tentacles, but keeps you hooked; especially because of its gameplay.

Bit Reactor has really delivered a fantastic debut game with Star Wars: Zero Company. If you love Star Wars and aren't averse to a tactical turn-based strategy game in the vein of XCOM, then this is definitely a must-play.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is a game that focuses heavily on replayability, with rewarding progression systems and a ton of missions. That doesn't mean, however, that the developer has found the magic formula to keep me constantly engaged.

BioEden has a solid foundation. Cleaning up the planet is visually rewarding, and you have to constantly divide your attention. As a result, the game never drags, provided you’re lucky enough to explore the world. It’s the small details and a missing connection that lead to disappointment.

Orbitals is a co-op adventure that knows exactly what it wants to be. Shapefarm has created a game that revolves entirely around playing together and has built nearly every mechanic around that concept.

Moonlighter 2 is an accessible roguelike with a strong sense of progression. Its mix of combat, puzzles, and shopkeeping makes for an enjoyable gameplay loop. The grind eventually becomes a bit noticeable and the loading times could be shorter. Overall, it is a visually appealing and polished improvement over its predecessor.

The Blood of Dawnwalker has an interesting identity thanks to its combination of human and vampire gameplay, the day-and-night cycle, the time system and meaningful choices. However, the empty open world, awkward blood and health system, time pressure, uneven combat and several visual and technical bugs keep the experience from reaching its full potential. I enjoyed my time with it, but I often found myself thinking how much stronger the game could have been with a livelier world and a better balance between freedom and time pressure.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a real triumph for Capcom. They've modernized the franchise and offered fans of cinematic action games a title you simply can't miss.

Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters offers a fun Single-Player (Story) mode where you can play through the entire World Youth arc. It’s a great introduction to the adventures of Tsubasa Ozora if you’re not familiar with the series, and a real treat for fans.

With Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, Asobo Studio has once again crafted a powerful and emotional story. This is thanks to the level design, the fantastic soundtrack, and the strong voice acting. As a result, the game completely draws you in, and the ending leaves a lasting impression.

With WW1: Gallipoli, BlackMill Games has outdone itself in its series of World War I games.

Brigandine Abyss is a game with many facets. It has all the typical elements of a good SRPG: the tactical gameplay is solid, the whole invasion concept is engaging, and there’s plenty of depth. At the same time, there are also clear shortcomings: the story isn’t all that great, the AI is inconsistent, and the animations and character portraits simply look terrible.

It's hard for me to say, but Puppergeist felt to me like high school homework that you just have to power through.

On paper, Starsand Island has a lot of elements that should make me happy: a beautiful island, various career paths, an extensive build mode, and a few clever systems that combine farming and ranching. But for me, the game is missing exactly the elements that really bring a farming sim to life.

But if you’re willing to take it a little easier and enjoy the realism, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is more than worth it. The big question, then, isn’t whether Hell Let Loose: Vietnam has the potential, but whether Expression Games will follow through and provide the game with enough new content in the coming months. In any case, the magic is definitely there.

While Skatesterre could have been a fun throwback to the skateboard games of yesteryear, it's really just a piece of promotional material for Sterre Meijer.

When we talk about the best Souls-like games available outside of FromSoftware's catalog, it's only fair to mention Mortal Shell II as a worthy addition to this collection.

The Sinking City 2 is a game with two sides. Many elements that made the original The Sinking City interesting have been removed or downplayed. What you get in their place, however, is a more than worthy survival horror game that has taken a close look at the best titles of recent years within this specific genre and eagerly draws on those blueprints.
