9 / 10.0 - Alan Wake 2
Nov 13, 2023

Alan Wake II picks up the thread again literally and figuratively thirteen years later. Alan Wake has been missing for thirteen years and FBI agent Saga Anderson has to investigate a murder in Bright Falls that could be linked to Alan Wake. What follows is a story between two main characters full of secrets and an escape from this nightmare that reigns in Bright Falls. Alan Wake II is more horror than action and the jump scares certainly help with that. Alan Wake II even feels uncomfortable at times and that is certainly a positive sign in this case.

8.5 / 10.0 - Sifu
Mar 1, 2022

Step into the shoes of a Kung Fu master on a revenge mission. Fight through drug houses, nightclubs and more special locations. Unleash your creativity on groups of enemies with clubs, bottles and steel pipes. Sifu is a tricky game to play, but definitely worth the effort.

8.5 / 10.0 - Moss: Book II
Apr 24, 2022

Quill isn't done saving the world yet, and in this second installment, Quill is hunted by a winged tyrant named Tylan. The story may not immediately be called very strong, but there are certainly some improvements to be seen in how this game is put together. For example, some beautiful new areas have been added and there is also an update in weapons. All in all, it's a great game to play and we can only hope that we don't have to wait another four years for a sequel.

8.5 / 10.0 - Valkyrie Elysium
Oct 5, 2022

Valkyrie Elysium puts you in the armor of a Valkyrie who is the only hope the world has left. The gameplay is very similar to Nier: Automata and similar games. Do you have the wisdom to know who is telling the truth and who is deceiving you, or is the world already lost?

The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is the fourth and final game of this first season. The story is based on an actual serial killer and his murder castle. The story is well put together, just like the new mechanics that have been added. Although the game feels recognizable here and there, but that's not very bad. What is bad are the bugs and glitches that the game has at the moment. Although these will soon be rectified.

Marvel's Midnight Suns does something completely different than we're used to. It is turn-based, which means that the game pace is considerably lower. Although the story is not very spectacular, the diversity of heroes is. It is strategic thinking about which cards you play and which you want to exchange. Fortunately, there is also a moment of peace and you can freely explore the monastery and its surroundings. You must like Marvel's Midnight Suns. If that is the case, then as a fan you will get a lot of satisfaction from this.

8.5 / 10.0 - Hogwarts Legacy
Feb 16, 2023

As a fifth-year student, you're new to Hogwarts. Together with your professor you have discovered the existence of ancient magic. Now you must find out the secret of this magic together and make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Hogwarts Legacy is a beautiful game that, thanks to its open world RPG, finally makes it possible to roam freely in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade and the Scottish highlands. The combat system is well put together and the game provides an immersive experience. Highly recommended to play for anyone with even the slightest interest in the Wizarding World.

8.5 / 10.0 - Dead Island 2
May 1, 2023

Despite the fact that the game is simplistic, it turned out that this is precisely the great strength of Dead Island 2. With a drop in, drop out co-op system, it is a good place to be. There is nothing to complain about in terms of graphics. On current-gen hardware, the 60fps graphics flow across your screen. The detail in the environment is sharp and the audio is wonderfully creepy with muffled screams in the distance and gurgling zombies up close.

8.5 / 10.0 - Dark Quest 3
Jun 3, 2023

Dark Quest 3 gives you a solid roguelite tabletop single player experience with a touch of deck building. There is plenty of content to discover. Think of different event cards such as a battle, a trait test or obtaining items. Collecting crystals in your run will unlock various resources. Think of new heroes, an alternative appearance for a hero, item cards, extra healing potions or extra gold.

8.5 / 10.0 - Amnesia: The Bunker
Jun 17, 2023

Amnesia: The bunker is brought to life with powerful sounds and a great picture. It can feel like a – very disturbing and terrifying – escape room. In which you can't shake the feeling of being hunted.

8.5 / 10.0 - F1 23
Jun 24, 2023

F1 23 does exactly what we missed in F1 22. Braking Point is back and quite entertaining. In addition, there are different modes where you can test your skills and there are also opportunities to learn how to race with fewer tools. The new track, Las Vegas, drives great and visually F1 23 has been polished up here and there. F1 23 is mainly intended for the fans and these fans will therefore drive the necessary kilometers to be the new virtual Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton.

8.5 / 10.0 - Dave the Diver
Aug 14, 2023

Dave the Diver is all about what the name says, Dave being a diver. During the day he explores the sea and hunts for fish to have them prepared in the evening at the sushi restaurant. Although it sounds so simple, it is more than that. It's simplistic, which is why this game works so well. You are thinking about your equipment, but also about the menu for that evening. Dave the Diver is an ideal snack that is unfortunately only available on PC for the time being.

n 1973 a teenager goes missing, after which her sister and friends try to track her down. They walk straight into a horrific nightmare. Although The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is not the first game to use such a formula, Sumo Nottingham applies it masterfully. Break out in a sweat on the run from psychotic killers or let the teenage blood flow freely yourself. Play together with and against gamers from all platforms!

8.5 / 10.0 - Lies of P
Oct 5, 2023

Lies of P is a soulslike that distinguishes itself mainly with its story and accessibility. The environments look beautiful and the well-known story of Pinocchio makes Krat and his surroundings feel like a fun city trip. Make no mistake, Lies of P may be a bit more accessible, but it punishes you mercilessly if you are greedy during the fights. A pleasant addition to the soulslike genre.

The Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection contains the last two Uncharted games, remastered for the PlayStation 5. Both games know a strong and exciting story. The games also plays great and are a must-have for the real adventurer. The better visuals mode is accompanied by a lower number of frames per second. The original games were beautiful from themselves and the Remaster offers little added value for the fan. For those who already had the game, it may not be worth the money and feels the remake something on the early side. The newcomer, on the other hand, has to do with a real must. A great bundle for those who still have to play the games.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is a direct sequel to Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep that appeared in 2012 as an expansion for Borderlands 2. Now Tiny Tina has her own game in which she can shine with her humor. The fantasy world of her tabletop card game looks beautiful and there is plenty to experience. It does have a few careless mistakes that hopefully can be fixed soon. However, the game continues to have a known problem: playing alone is just not always fun. So find some friends to play this game with.

8 / 10.0 - Trek to Yomi
May 31, 2022

Trek to Yomi is a sidescroller with strong influences from old Kurosawa films. Hiroki sets out to avenge his sensei with the help of Aiko. Fight your way through Hell to confront the warlord Kagarou. With a price tag of twenty euros, Trek to Yomi is more than worth a positive assessment. A must play for the true Indie fan.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is a Hack 'n Slash in the same style as Dynasty Warriors. The big difference with other games in the genre comes from the influence of the Fire Emblem series. The fast-paced battle levels with hordes of enemies alternate quickly with quiet conversations to forge bonds or with a political undertone.

8 / 10.0 - F1 22
Jul 13, 2022

As a successor to F1 2021, F1 22 is able to bring a number of innovations that are not always successful. F1 Life as a replacement for Braking Point is quite a disappointment. Nevertheless, F1 22 does what it's supposed to do, which is to give you that thrill of overtaking at high speed from other drivers. The career mode remains a joy to play and online brings a fun challenge. For Formula 1 fans, F1 22 is really a joy to play again.

8 / 10.0 - Stray
Jul 28, 2022

In Stray you are not a human or a monster, but a cute cat. Move in a humanless world in which you as a cat have to find your way back to your friends. Stray is breathtakingly beautiful and you will be amazed at how cute this game is. There could have been just a little more in it, for example by being able to change the appearance of your cat itself to your own cat, for example. Nevertheless, Stray is a fantastic game and well worth playing. If only because of that magical feeling that you play as a cat.
