Exploring, making choices in a world full of conflict. But fights that don't click and systems that falter. An RPG with potential, but without real impact. The beginning is here. There is no sequel. You keep walking around. But not always for the right reasons.

God of War: Sons of Sparta is a new excursion in which you, as a player, get to explore the Greek region of Laconia as a young Kratos in a 2D Metroidvania. This colorful world and the 2D environment lend themselves perfectly to this excursion. The combat is very intense at times, and there is much to explore. The countless customizations available for your spear and shield also ensure plenty of gameplay hours. A nice little diversion while waiting for the recently announced remake of the original trilogy.

The world of Monster Hunter is best known for big battles against gigantic monsters and collecting materials. However, the Stories series has been taking a different approach for years. Instead of pure action, the emphasis here is more on a story-driven RPG, in which you collect monsters, work with them and experience a great adventure. Developer Capcom continues this with Monster Hunter Stories 3 - Twisted Reflection. The result is a game that clearly builds on previous parts: colorful, accessible and full of familiar elements for fans. At the same time, the game also tries to bring enough novelty to draw players back into the world.

Laysara: Summit Kingdom is a city builder in which you build cities on mountains instead of flat land, which immediately makes the game different. In the campaign you free the city of Laysara from a deadly fog and build infrastructure between different heights. Obstacles such as avalanches, steep slopes and limited construction space make planning food supplies and transportation challenging. Sandbox mode gives complete freedom to develop multiple mountains and trading networks, but creative freedom remains limited. With an atmospheric Tibetan art style and voiceovers, it is an accessible, cozy city builder for players who enjoy a quiet, strategic building experience.

Tales of Berseria is a JRPG with a strong story that keeps you hooked as a player. However, the remastered version feels unnecessary due to the lack of clear improvements in both gameplay and graphics. Nevertheless, the game is especially worth the money for new players.

World of Warcraft: Midnight focuses more on storytelling, lore and character moments, especially around the Void threat of Xal'atath in Quel'Thalas. New features such as housing and the playable race Haranir give players additional activities. At the same time, the story is sometimes confusing and the main story occasionally lacks the epic impact you expect.

After the beautiful first part, the bar was set high for Planet of Lana II - Children of the Leaf, but this new part is definitely worth a try.

Follow Lana, her sister and pet mouse on their adventure to save their planet Novo from the mysterious machines.

NORSE: Oath of Blood has a good story, a fun settlement structure, and clear turn-based combat. The voice acting is really strong. However, there are many minor bugs, strange visual moments, and sometimes the hub simply doesn't feel like much. As a result, it currently feels more like an early access game than a finished one. Hopefully, updates will be released soon to fix the remaining bugs, because then this will simply be a much stronger game.

8 / 10.0 - High on Life 2
Feb 18, 2026

High On Life 2 is the sequel to High On Life and its DLC. The game is bigger and more chaotic than its predecessor.

While this game isn't for everyone, its humor will certainly appeal to the right audience.

After a nine-year wait, Styx: Blades of Greed sees the sarcastic goblin hunt for a new power source called Quartz, navigating three sprawling sandbox environments to stay ahead of the mighty Inquisition. It's a game that truly shines in its focus on stealth and vertical exploration. The switch to Unreal Engine 5 and the increased freedom of choice offer a welcome refresh to the series. The satisfaction of stealthy elimination is long-lasting, and the addition of crafting and strategic Quartz powers offers enough depth to keep you constantly intrigued.

Exotica 2: Pet Shop SIMulator does exactly what you would expect from it. Have your own pet shop and have the freedom to decide which animals you want to sell. There are countless options available and you have to put in quite a few hours to get the most out of them. And therein lies its pitfall, you may have to put in too many hours to unlock many animals. That's not for everyone, but it plays nicely in between.
