Rich with a vibrant world, intriguing story, remarkable companions, and engaging combat, Obsidian's first-person fantasy RPG, Avowed, offered so much flavour that I found it hard to stop playing.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is hands down a must-play for anyone who’s into Medieval open-world gameplay. All of it combines into a package that justifies the 59.99€ price tag, or 79.99€ if you’re going for the Gold Edition. Honestly, this is a serious Game of the Year contender.
Sniper Elite: Resistance delivers solid sniping action and rewarding gameplay but falls short with outdated graphics, weak AI, and little innovation, making it feel like a reskin rather than a proper new entry in the series.
Tails of Iron 2 is a worthy sequel that fans of the original will certainly enjoy. For 24.99, you’ll get a gorgeous little action RPG and 15 to 20 hours of content, which is well worth the money in my book.
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is a must-play for all beat 'em up, hack-and-slash fans. With exceptional combat mechanics, a great story, and a classic gameplay formula, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black smashes it out of the park in my books.
Eternal Strands dazzles with breathtaking visuals and thrilling boss fights, but its convoluted story, underwhelming gameplay elements, and wrong design choices hold it back from reaching its full potential.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins can initially be quite enjoyable, especially during large-scale battles which are a true spectacle but it gets a bit dull the longer you play. Combined with a fairly average visual presentation and a soundtrack that feels out of place it's hard to recommend Dynasty Warriors: Origins to a casual gamer looking for the next great game to play.
The Spirit of the Samurai is a game full of great ideas that, unfortunately, fail to shine due to poor execution. The game is held back by terribly unresponsive controls, poorly implemented enemy AI, and developer promises that fall far short of expectations. These shortcomings, among others, ultimately make it difficult for me to recommend this game.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a magnificent video game that perfectly encapsulates everything the popular adventure franchise is known for.
If you are looking for a casual or competitive hero shooter to play alone or with your friends, I recommend diving into Marvel Rivals; you will easily end up putting a few hundred hours into the game once you get a hang of the heroes and core gameplay loop.
If Stalker 2 didn't have so many serious performance issues and bugs, it would be my Game of the Year. It has a great story, memorable characters, a unique world to explore, and great visual presentation - pretty much everything to keep you immersed for hours.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is truly an impressive game, but it might have fared better without the Dragon Age title, as it doesn’t entirely align with the series' concept. Unfortunately, certain controversies have overshadowed the game’s quality, pushing its merits into the background—a situation that’s never ideal.
Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered keeps its original appeal, but the dated mechanics may struggle to resonate with a newer generation of players.
Movie adaptations in video games rarely hit the mark, but A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a solid game overall, though it falls short of a true horror experience.
Over the last few years, Call of Duty has struggled to deliver compelling stories or campaigns that will thoroughly impress us, but that's about to change because the Black Ops 6 campaign is arguably one of the best Call of Duty campaigns ever.
If you appreciate narrative-driven games with minimal gameplay involvement that also tell a fantastic story, then you probably won't find it better than Slay the Princess.
Everything in Europa is crafted to fully immerse and relax you, which was clearly the developers' goal—and they nailed it. From start to finish, the game has a therapeutic effect, allowing you to enjoy every moment in a completely stress-free experience.
If you're a MechWarrior series fan, you won't be disappointed with MechWarrior 5: Clans. This is a game you've been waiting for; made with passion and love and that's truly visible at every corner. For newcomers, there's a lot of fun to be had here too so definitely give it a go if you have an active Game Pass subscription.
Words can’t fully capture the experience, as to truly understand Silent Hill 2, you have to play it. This game is a true masterpiece—its story will leave you breathless, the gameplay will fairly entertain you, and the atmosphere will keep you on edge the entire time.
Mortal Kombat 1: Chaos Reigns expansion will bring you more of the Mortal Kombat story with production quality that even the greatest Hollywood blockbusters wouldn't be ashamed of. With several new characters and many variations of the existing ones, the fun is guaranteed.
