Indiana Jones and the Great Circle captures the iconic atmosphere of the franchise and feels like a classic Indiana Jones film. Locations like Vatican City and the pyramids of Egypt are full of hidden treasure and reward thorough exploration. The gameplay captures Indy’s essence with clever puzzles, stealth, and improvisation. Combat feels clunky, but suits his character as a smart survivor rather than a brawler. Visually, the game is stunning, with beautiful detail and cinematics that fully draw you into the adventure.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard combines a compelling story with complex team dynamics, in which choices influence relationships and the plot. The gameplay offers smooth action, strategic party-based combat and extensive exploration, with unique classes and specializations. The visually breathtaking world and powerful soundtrack make this fourth part to a peak in the series.

Farming Simulator 25 offers extensive experience with new crops such as rice and spinach, extra animals such as goats and water buffalo, and a renewed weather system with extremes such as hail showers and tornados. Players can completely run their farm at their own discretion and take advantage of cross-play multiplayer. Unfortunately, the game lacks sufficient guidance for newcomers, which makes the learning curve steeper. Technical problems such as graphic simplicity, frame drops and weak voice-acting undermine the experience, but the game offers enough strategic depth for long-term gameplay.

Unknown 9: Awakening combines a fascinating steampunk world, deep lore and unique mind-control controls. Yet the story lingers in predictability, while repetitive gameplay and technical problems disrupt experience. Despite a few strong moments, the game feels unbalanced and the potential is not fully realized.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a reinterpretation of Horizon Zero Dawn. The legoversie is a lot more child -friendly. It is a different type of LEGO game than people are used to. The quality is very high and it is full of silly humor. A simple but entertaining game.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake combines classic charm with modern visuals, making the game attractive for both fans and newcomers. The search for answers about your father's disappearance provides a motivating story full of adventure. In addition, the HD-2D style offers a nostalgic, vibrant atmosphere, although navigating through doors is sometimes difficult. Thanks to the three level of difficulty and a flush option during fighting, the gameplay is both accessible and challenging.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a typical Turn -based RPG. It has a very nice artstyle and the game speaks almost for itself. Good timing is very important. The game is a bit on the easy side, but this does not have to spoil the fun. A good game for young and old.

Sonic X Shadow Generations consists of two games: the new Shadow Generations and a remaster from Sonic Generations. The games both look great. The level design in the remaster is a bit nicer. The very high pace sometimes causes some difficulty with the controls. Nevertheless, the games are not unplayable. They are a bit on the short side, but take you into a real trip along old Sonic game worlds.

After years of absence, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero brings us a delicious Dragon Ball game where you can entertain a lot of hours with friends on the couch.

Zero is a fantastic game that is really made for fans.

After a year Bethesda finally comes with an extension for Starfield called Shattered Space. What can you expect from it? Especially a lot of the same and there the problem is largely. The vibe that hung around Starfield has since been put out and therefore it all feels like you already know it. A new planet with new missions is what you get back. For people who did not touch Starfield at the time, this is a great opportunity to finally pick it up. Also for the real fans of Starfield. Did you think Starfield was okay, but nothing more? Then you might be better off waiting for the extensions to be there.

7 / 10.0 - Phasmophobia
Oct 28, 2024

'Phasmophobia' is a game that throws a lot of information at you in the beginning. This applies to both the in-game knowledge and the control. However, the controls also work well. As a researchers into the paranormal you have to find out together or alone which entity you are dealing with. It is not the scariest game, but it is certainly exciting. Entertainment is clearly paramount and that is certainly there.

6.5 / 10.0 - Squirrel with a Gun
Oct 26, 2024

'Squirrel with a gun' is a clear indie game. In the appearance, he does exceed the expectation. The control is obvious. There is, however, some delay between the action and the response. It has some small imperfections and sometimes feels a bit empty. Yet it is an entertaining, sometimes challenging, game where you are guaranteed to laugh.

This is a preliminary judgment about the game, since only the first two chapters were played. In Life, Strange is: Double Exposure returns Max Caulfield as a twenties studying at the University of Caledon. She leads a quiet life without using her time -manipulating forces, until her girlfriend Safi is murdered by an unknown shooter. This triggers a new power with which Max can switch between two realities: one in which Safi is dead and one in which she is still alive. Max uses this power to investigate the murder and prevent more victims from falling, while balancing between emotional dilemmas in both realities. The first two chapters are very strong and contain strong visual elements and expressive characters. The gameplay builds on well -known elements from the series, but the slow structure can discourage some players. However, the price for early access is not entirely worth it. Waiting for the official release date for the entire game seems better to be in place.

9.5 / 10.0 - Silent Hill 2
Oct 16, 2024

Bloober Team shows how to remake an iconic title like Silent Hill 2 while staying true to the original. Silent Hill 2 makes sure you sit completely silent for the entire game because you can't trust any sound, especially when the radio in the game is working overtime with static. Graphically it looks fantastic and the puzzles are challenging. Silent Hill 2 is a pleasure every minute and that is why the hope is that the other parts in the franchise can get the same treatment. This game will definitely walk away with an award in December, but which one that is, remains to be seen. Silent Hill 2 is the best horror game that you must have played this year.

The remake of Until Dawn for PC and PS5 offers an impressive visual upgrade and subtle improvements to the dialogues and gameplay. The well-known butterfly effect system, where every choice influences the course of the story, still provides tension and high replayability. Although you can fully enjoy the immersive horror experience as a new player, the cinematic presentation is regularly disrupted by technical errors such as graphical bugs and framerate stutters. The price of €69.99 feels on the high side for a nine-year-old game, especially for returning players who already know the original version. Nevertheless, it remains a unique and exciting experience for newcomers.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection contains the two games Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and Ace Attorney Investigations: Prosecutor's Gambit from the Nintendo DS. Both have had a graphical upgrade and offer a lot of fun. The big question is: is it worth it for forty euros? The answer is actually simple: if you are not familiar with this series, then you will enjoy it for forty euros. If you are already familiar with Ace Attorney Investigations, then forty euros is actually way too much money and you should better wait for a sale.

'Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns' is an expansion for 'Mortal Kombat 1'. The focus is mainly on the second part of the story. This is full of brutal action, but feels relatively shorter. In addition, it contains six new characters, three of which are available at release.

From then to now, ARA history untold. An enormously extensive game with a lot of depth. Even the smallest details have been thought about. The game is based on a turn progression, which gives peace in your playing style. However, you need a lot of strategy to make the game go as desired. An absolute must if you are looking for a game that you can spend many hours in again and again.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom marks the first time that Princess Zelda takes center stage, as she must flee and prove her innocence after a sinister copy of the king falsely accuses her. The adventure introduces a novel system where Zelda can summon “echoes” of objects and enemies to solve puzzles, offering players creative freedom similar to recent Zelda titles like Breath of the Wild but within a more classic gameplay structure. The visual design builds on the charming style of Link’s Awakening (2019), with a colorful 2.5D look. While the game is fun and innovative, it does suffer from a few drawbacks, such as a cumbersome menu for selecting echoes and occasional technical issues including framerate drops. Despite this, it remains a bold and fresh step for the series, appealing to newcomers and veterans alike, with a focus on strategy and puzzles over action.
