'Gori: Cuddly Carnage' is a short game with an imperfection here and there. Nevertheless, the game plays wonderfully. It is clearly not a children's game, but for those who like dark and bad humor a great pleasure. Slaughtering unicorns in style is what your main activity is in this hack and slash with some platforming here and there. Good entertainment for the lover of all this is in abundance and that for a nice price.

5.5 / 10.0 - Star Wars Outlaws
Aug 30, 2024

Of course, a fortune seeker like Kay Vess is supposed to have some rough edges, but that doesn't have to apply to this game. It's nice that the galaxy far, far away finally has an open world title, for sure. However, on a technical level, there is still a lot to be gained. 'Star Wars Outlaws' is definitely inviting, but not entirely satisfying.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD builds on the strong foundation of the first game, adding new layers of gameplay and upgraded features for the Poltergust 5000. The variety of missions, combined with a perfect mix of puzzles, action and humor, creates an immersive experience that keeps you engaged at all times. The breathtaking graphic presentation brings the atmospheric mansions to life, each with a unique, creepy yet charming look. The lighting, shadows, music and sound effects enhance the spooky atmosphere. While the game perfectly manages to find the balance between tension and lightness. Making both young and old get sucked into this game.

Tomba! Special Edition is a slightly improved version of Tomba! from 1997. No graphical changes, but the changes that are there make playing Tomba! Special Edition a lot easier. It gives you a wonderful nostalgic feeling and takes you back to that time. You have to get used to the graphical style and also the sometimes clumsy controls. But if you can, then Tomba! Special Edition is a wonderful game to get through the summer with.

'Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree' is an expansion that continues the challenge of the game. The successful formula has not been changed much. So one can expect more of what one already knows from the games. The biggest challenge can be found in this DLC. Before purchasing it is useful that you are able to defeat Mohg and Radahn in order to be able to enter the DLC.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Switch is an epic adventure in which you collect the Crystal Stars to stop an ancient threat. The game combines classic Mario elements with deep RPG mechanics and a compelling story full of humor. The turn-based battle system set on a theater stage is simple to understand but offers a lot of depth. The refreshed visual style and improved graphics bring the papery world to life beautifully. Despite some pacing issues and backtracking, the game remains a masterpiece of the RPG genre.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape is a fantastic conclusion to a saga that began ten years ago for many Guardians. The story wraps up a number of things nicely, but also leaves a number of things open for the future. Finally, no more hassle with bounties, but a Pathfinder system that gives you complete freedom to fill in. Add to that a planet that looks impressive and where there is a lot to do. If you find a team of five other Guardians, the raid Salvation's Edge is the next thing that needs to be tackled. Now we wait to see what else Bungie has in store for Destiny 2 in the future.

Planet Zoo: Console Edition provides for the needs of console regemers to have their own digital zoo. In 2019 it was the turn of the PC gamers, but now people with a PlayStation 5 and an Xbox series can also get started. The control on the console works great, but it still works just a little better on a PC. The tutorial is clear enough to start your zoo afterwards. There are lots of possibilities and maybe it is just a bit too much at times. Yet you will be able to enjoy this endlessly if this genre lies.

'Outlast Trials' is a horror game that misses the mark with its jump scares. However, it still feels horrible and powerless when you are being chased. The game loses its charm pretty quickly when you are playing alone, but is definitely fun with some friends. A great game to have played together.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Planet Crafter
May 4, 2024

Planet Crafter is a very entertaining game where you focus primarily on making a planet habitable. Sounds very boring in the base, but you are going to enjoy it more and more. It is not a game where you have to pay attention to the graphic side and certainly not to the story, graphically it can feel a bit simple and the story is very concise. There are numerous possibilities that help you make the planet habitable and that simply works great.

7.5 / 10.0 - Stellar Blade
Apr 24, 2024

Stellar Blade is a game that does his own thing with mild influences from other games. The game looks great at the top level and it plays well, although it contains quite a challenge. There is a story fashion for those who don't like the challenge. The game will still not interest everyone. Those who do interest it is at least a good time waiting, in this game of quality with beautiful soundtrack.

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth is the direct sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake. You soon dive into the open world that is bigger than you dared to dream. The game is of high quality in looks and story. There is also plenty to do. It plays nicely although the fighting is sometimes a bit on the difficult side. For some it is too big, but for many it will be an open world rpg that people have dreamed of.

6.5 / 10.0 - Rise of the Ronin
Mar 21, 2024

Rise of the Ronin takes you to an exciting time in Japanese history. However, that says it all. Rise of the Ronin borrows many elements from well-known games such as Assassin's Creed and Nioh. The combat can be relatively frustrating due to the different styles you have to learn. There is also a lot to experience in the open world, but it is not always beautiful or challenging. Rise of the Ronin is therefore primarily a game where you can enjoy yourself for a short time.

4 / 10.0 - Skull and Bones
Feb 28, 2024

Years of development yield a little tension with spectacular sea fighting while playing. In the end, however, this looting offers too little variation to keep fascinating. The story and the main character also do not know how to commit to you because of absent development. Furthermore, live service elements and hated micro-transactions make cannon food from Skull and Bones. Ubisoft should have sat down again to sit around the drawing board or have this title sink.

In what the last months of the Nintendo Switch will be, if we have to believe the rumors, Nintendo gives us a nice encore. After Super Mario Bros. Wonder At the end of last year, a slick remake of a Gameboy Advance classic: Mario vs. Donkey Kong. In the twenty years after the release of the original, the Italian plumber and his ancient rival seemed to have grown at each other, but in this remake the battle between the two can be tasted again.

8.5 / 10.0 - Helldivers II
Feb 24, 2024

Helldivers 2 tackles it differently than its predecessor and in this case that has been a good gamble. Helldivers 2 guarantees hours full of pleasure, provided you play this with several and preferably also with friends. It is chaotic and you regularly find yourself on a battlefield. The missions can sometimes feel somewhat repeating, but that cannot be said about the rest. You can completely dress your character and provide it with the latest tools. A wonderful snack for which you are not lost the full pound.

Banishers: Ghost of New Eden is a not too difficult game with a very strong story. It has several roads and dilemmas for which you can make the decision. It looks reasonable and plays almost obvious.
