The Last of Us Part 2 is a stunning achievement in every sense of the word. From the beautiful, detailed world to the nail biting moment to moment gameplay, there is nothing quite like it. With an emotional story to boot and some of the most beautiful environments ever created, Naughty Dog has created another masterpiece.

‎It's up to you to explore this game world, to solve countless puzzles and save Hyrule from a possible downfall. In what order you do that you know for yourself, because freedom is central to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The gameplay reminds us of what makes a game so good, and combines this with the charm of one of the most acclaimed and beloved game series of all time.‎

‎Rockstar has delivered a of a game and that is fine, because after GTA V, the studio has not released a single game apart from the ‎‎L.A. Noire remaster‎‎. You can tell from everything that preceded the release of this action adventure game for many years of work. But as long as the development lasted, so many hours of fun you will have!‎

The Forbidden West is alive and invites you to enjoy dozens of hours of action, adventure, and phenomenal environments.

9.8 / 10.0 - Elden Ring
Feb 28, 2022

‎The ambition for Elden Ring was great at FromSoftware, but the Japanese developer has fulfilled all the promises and added to that. All the lessons that the studio has learned in the past year have come together in one game and can rightly be called the Magnum Opus from FromSoftware.‎

9.8 / 10.0 - Kingdom Hearts III
Jan 29, 2019

Kingdom Hearts 3 is every bit as magical as expected. It manages to set the bar high for games in 2019 with its nostalgia-inducing Disney worlds, great gameplay and epic conclusion. The long wait is finally over and fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom quickly does away with worries that Breath of the Wild's Hyrule won't be as fun to explore a second time. Sky Islands, changes to the landscape and much more make this journey every bit as exciting as the previous adventure. Criticisms of Breath of the Wild have been taken to heart where possible, leading to unique dungeons, among other things. Small performance blemishes and occasionally annoying companion AI can't stop this game from being absolutely essential.

9.7 / 10.0 - Super Mario Odyssey
Oct 26, 2017

‎The main adventure is a bit on the short side and some Kingdoms only get going during the post-game. Although there is still plenty to do after you have finished the story, we can fully understand that not every gamer wants to finish the game for the full 100 percent. But this shouldn't spoil the fun, because what Super Mario offers is simply fun from the beginning to the end.‎

‎All in all, Smash Ultimate is a true celebration of the most iconic games in history. With the magical music, the biggest roster of brawlers ever, and more modes than you could have dreamed of, it's time for Smash on the Switch. You do this on over a hundred different and balanced battlefields with up to eight players who all sit with a smile on their faces due to the addictive gameplay.‎

9.7 / 10.0 - Horizon Zero Dawn
Mar 1, 2017

‎At least you don't have to make one choice and that's whether you should buy the game or not. Horizon Zero Dawn is a fantastic game and potentially the best game of the year! It's accessible, but challenging looks truly phenomenal, and offers you dozens of hours of fun!‎

‎In any case, we will make no bones about it: Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain is a game that you must have played. In our eyes, perhaps the best game of this year, and one of the best games ever made. Just as legendary as Big Boss himself!‎

‎Blood and Wine is a fantastic expansion and has everything you need to get you to blow off the dust of your copy of The Witcher 3. The expansion offers more than twice as many hours of gameplay as Hearts of Stone and stands like a house in terms of gameplay. If you loved Wild Hunt and Hearts of ‎‎Stone,‎‎ you'll buy Blood and Wine blindly. Cd Projekt RED Geralt could not have given a more dignified farewell than Blood and Wine!‎

A classic returns in Metroid Prime Remastered. A complete visual overhaul makes the world of the game look better and more detailed than ever before. A new dual-stick control scheme makes the game approachable and palatable for new players, while veterans can opt for controls that mimic the original. Underneath it all, though, the masterpiece that is Metroid Prime Remains unchanged. Some more quality of life improvements could perhaps have been made, but it is a tiny complaint for a near-perfect remaster.

Combine all this with cool escape segments, giant boss fights and endearing friendships. Add to it the little challenges gimmick, where you can do some sort of race against the mind of your friends and take away the frustrating save system of the first part. What you end up with is an almost perfect game within the MetroidVania genre.

9.5 / 10.0 - Rare Replay
Aug 3, 2015

Rare Replay is a collection for which you get an Xbox One. The game has an achievement score of 10,000 points and over 700 hours of gameplay. And all for only 30 euros. Searching around the internet shows that it is sometimes already offered for less. The price-quality ratio is of a level that we have not seen before. Absurd. Infectious. A must-buy!

9.5 / 10.0 - Fallout 4
Nov 9, 2015

The old Fallout feel is back, and all the adjustments that have been made over previous Fallout games have been perfectly measured out. With Boston, the Wasteland is a world that has a wide range of factions, locations, characters and features to offer. The flaw of the hurried intro doesn't outweigh everything the game has to offer. Fallout 4 is a game where you look at your watch the first time and see 22:00, then look again a little later and see 02:34 to your horror. This is nearing perfection and it's the game whose needle doesn't leave your vein anymore.

9.5 / 10.0 - Forza Horizon 4
Oct 1, 2018

PlayGround Games has without a doubt outdone itself in this fourth installment of Horizon. The location suggests you'll end up in a drizzly place, but the game has more under its hood than you think possible. The map is huge and offers you numerous in addition to a varying landscape all kinds of cool races and activities.

Naughty Dog has completed a very successful franchise with ‎‎Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.‎‎ And how! The game is perfectly finished on almost all points and really provides the necessary drooling moments. The game includes plenty of new additions and let us enjoy at least 15 hours for the Uncharted 4 review.‎

Divinity Original Sin II Definitive Edition is a near perfect RPG. It does everything well, from story, characters, combat, dialog and of course co-op. The refinements also make the game accessible for a much broader audience that need to play this game.
