10 / 10.0 - Elden Ring
Mar 6, 2022

Elden Ring is a masterpiece of the Hardcore Action-RPG genre. Everything From Software learned during the development of Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro comes to the fore. The open world is breathtakingly beautiful and filled with intimidating monsters.

It plays smoothly and knows how to amuse both young and old. There is very little to note. A real must have for the LEGO Star Wars fan.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge looks like an old school game that moves with the times. It plays like a classic beat 'em up and offers enough variety to keep it interesting. The game has 6 player co-op and can entertain both young and old. For most, the game will bring a lot of nostalgia.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 shows exactly where the power of the PlayStation 5 lies. Swinging around NYC never felt so satisfying and now you can float to Brooklyn too. From the first minute to the credits, the story hits like a bomb. The new skills provide a different way of playing and there is also plenty to do in this game. The latter sometimes feels like a repetition, but that certainly shouldn't spoil the fun because you are Spider-Man after all!

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearle are a remake of the DS games from 2006. The game has had a major visual upgrade and feels like new. The controls are still simple and self-explanatory. It is also wonderfully nostalgic for the old fan and it will also know how to entertain the newcomers. There is certainly no lack of fun. Diamond & Pearle only differ in a few exclusively findable Pokémon and does exactly what you can expect from a Pokémon game.

Horizon Forbidden West picks up the story after the events of Horizon New Dawn. Aloy has to save the world and it's not that easy. Especially when she has to deal with a new threat. Fortunately, you as a player are there to guide her and provide her with new skills. The world in Forbidden West is huge and there is a lot to experience, although some activities feel a bit sparse. In addition to a large open world, there is also enough time to enjoy the environment in amazement to also use Photo Mode. Horizon Forbidden West already feels better than its predecessor.

9 / 10.0 - Gran Turismo 7
Mar 2, 2022

Gran Turismo 7 picks up where Gran Turismo 6 left off. You are again taken into a game where the focus is on the old-fashioned single player and less on online gaming. The game brings together elements that were missed in GT Sport, but also takes you deeper into the history of the automotive industry. In the game, old familiar locations return, such as the second-hand market and GT AUTO. But the most important thing about GT7 is of course the racing, which is rendered ultra realistic. You get the feeling as if you are actually driving a car. All this makes Gran Turismo 7 one of the best racing games out there right now.

Destiny: The Witch Queen is a spectacular sequel to Beyond Light, released in 2022. Fans have been waiting for years to meet Savathûn and now the time has finally come. The storytelling is excellent and there is plenty to do on Savathûns Throne World. Add to that the fact that you will again be presented with the necessary content for this year to entertain you until the next expansion, called Lightfall. It's just a shame that content like Gambit is still not fun enough to play. Fortunately, there is a new raid against that.

9 / 10.0 - Tunic
Mar 29, 2022

Tunic is a challenging and at the same time beautiful game in isometric projection that you can't get enough of. It may be a bit on the short side, but the challenging enemies and a practically unreadable manual ensure that you have a lot of time in Tunic.

9 / 10.0 - MADiSON
Jul 20, 2022

MADiSON is a really nasty game in a positive way. It is frightening and manages to make you feel stuffy from the beginning to the end. With a Polaroid camera in your pocket you can find a way out of your grandfather's house. The jump scares work perfectly and are interspersed with an unpleasant sense of false security. With this, MADiSON manages to create an ideal horror atmosphere. You don't really want to play MADiSON at all, but you still want to try it.

For the newcomer, this might be the part that grabs your attention in such a way that you want to give the rest of the series a chance.

Why offer a remake when the original is still rock solid? The truth is that the remake compliments the original in every way. No big changes but subtle adjustments, both story-technical and graphical. Whether you're taking a nostalgic trip or experiencing Dead Space for the first time, these improvements are a plus in both experiences. The audio plays an important role in the experience. Anyone who likes to get spooky will definitely be on the edge of their seat. After a good twelve hours of scaring, the end credits finally roll across the screen and you can breathe a sigh of relief. With this, EA delivers a masterclass in building suspense that goes hand in hand with visual splendor and a strongly driven story.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a direct sequel to the acclaimed Breath of the Wild. That's why Nintendo has kept the world largely the same. The game offers fun gameplay as you are used to from the series with the focus again on the fun of exploration.

9 / 10.0 - Pikmin 4
Aug 1, 2023

In Pikmin 4, you as a stranded astronaut on planet Earth must search for the other crew members of your spaceship. Fortunately, you have a trusty biped and dozens of docile Pikmin to help you with that. It's a game that plays wonderfully and lets you explore a world at your leisure full of treasures, obstacles and enemies that you have to face. There are a number of new challenges that offer a different gameplay experience and are a welcome, enjoyable change from exploring. Do not expect a very challenging game, but a very successful game to take your mind off it.

9 / 10.0 - Mortal Kombat 1
Sep 22, 2023

Gameplay as usual is what you can expect from 'Mortal Kombat 1'. Add to that a sharp quality and again some minor adjustments to the well-known rules and you have a top fighter. The blood will flow over your screen again.

9 / 10.0 - Starfield
Sep 17, 2023

Starfield can best be described as Skyrim in space and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. In fact, it even feels familiar and can draw new players into a new world. Starfield is immense and you just don't know where to start. The minimal to no explanation really makes it feel like a big adventure for you. You make strategic choices throughout the game, such as providing your ship with power, which skills you want to teach your character to which mission you want to do first. Starfield is overwhelming and perhaps a bit too much for some.

9 / 10.0 - Super Mario RPG
Nov 29, 2023

Super Mario RPG has been remastered on the Nintendo Switch. It has remained very close to the original. It's up to Mario to save the Mushroom Kingdom, this time not from Bowser, but the enemy Exor. The beautiful 3D refresh that this game has received is great and the soundtrack is also great. The game ensures that you fly through the game without getting bored. The turn-based combat is a joy and no two characters and weapons are the same to play as. Find the combination that works for you and save the mushroom kingdom!
