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.

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.

Season: A Letter to the Future is a game that is difficult to rate. It is a game that will definitely go too slow for some people, while other people really lick their fingers at this. When you make the decision, it is perhaps best to ask yourself whether you are waiting for a game where you can completely leave the pace and hectic for a while and immerse yourself in peace. If that's something that sounds good to you and you don't mind that this game isn't particularly long, then Season is definitely a great game for you.

We Were Here Forever does exactly what its previous three predecessors have done: immerse you in complex puzzles and lots of communication. Together with someone else you have to unravel the secrets of Castle Rock. We Were Here Forever looks better and this time crossplay is also possible. The puzzles are challenging again and working together has never been more fun and frustrating at the same time. Some hiccups here and there and a somewhat negligible story. Still, you will mainly play We Were Here Forever for the challenge.

7 / 10.0 - Forspoken
Feb 4, 2023

Forspoken has difficult, but ultimately smooth-playing controls. The images in the country of Athia also look anything but wrong. The game itself plays incredibly fast, but the story is sometimes a bit slow in pace. The story is still very interesting though. Despite there being enough to do, the gameplay can sometimes feel quite monotonous. It's the boss fights that really make the gameplay worth it.

Fire Emblem Engage is a tactical RPG. You follow Alear the Divine Dragon during the battle with the Fell Dragons. The tactical combat system is great and the new Engage system causes quite a stir. Even if the story falls short, Fire Emblem is still a must for fans.

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 / 10.0 - Harvestella
Dec 18, 2022

In a vibrant and colorful world, as a player you will grow your crops, befriend the townspeople, overcome threats, discover the origins of the world and the truth behind the Quietus disaster. This is a period of death that comes at the beginning of a new season. At first, Harvestella feels like all the other farm sims, but Haverstella has found a way to make the most simplicity work. The simple combat mechanics are nothing to rave about. Everything else, like agriculture, is excellent. As a player you can explore different cities and dungeons of the world. The length of the days feel perfect. You can do whatever you want and still have some wiggle room to run around and talk to townspeople, fish, explore, or even look for NPCs.

The Callisto Protocol tries to feel like a horrogame from the very first moment, but lacks a bit of that suspense that you can find elsewhere. It all looks nice and rancid and it also plays well. The limited number of items you can take with you and not knowing whether you are closing yourself off from an area is less. Nevertheless, The Callisto Protocol provides a lot of hours of play, but it will not rank with games like Dead Space and Resident Evil.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is the prequel to Final Fantasy VII. The game revolves around Zack's missions that he has to do as a SOLDIER for Shinra Electric Power Company. In particular, the combat in this game is very fun and there is a lot to discover in the side missions next to the storyline. It has many references to Final Fantasy VII which makes it a fun game for the fans. If you've already played the 2007 original, you can skip this one. The remaster looks good and the new combat system is fantastic, but the story has remained the same so it doesn't add much to the original.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet you can wander around in an open world for the first time, but unfortunately you sometimes run into areas with much too strong opponents. In addition, there is a lot to criticize about the game on a technical level and it feels like it was released while it was not yet finished. Too bad, because the game is also full of good innovations, nice new Pokémon and has no fewer than three main missions. Fortunately, the positives outweigh the negatives. All in all, it is a very entertaining game that is good for many hours of fun.

8 / 10.0 - Scorn
Nov 30, 2022

Scorn is a beautiful game that feels bad and at times even challenging. The philosophy of figure it out is clearly noticeable. This makes Scorn frustrating at times, despite the short running time of the game. Scorn is a fun game to pick up between all those AAA games.

7 / 10.0 - Gungrave G.O.R.E
Nov 30, 2022

Gungrave G.O.R.E. is a massacre from the beginning to the end. The story is negligible, but is strongly supported by the uninhibited gameplay. At first it can be difficult for most players, but soon you will be sucked into the addictive firefights.

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.

7 / 10.0 - Gotham Knights
Nov 25, 2022

Gotham Knights is a game with cool combat, the possibility of stealth gameplay and detective work. It's a typical Batman universe game. The only downside is that the game doesn't have a performance mode. However, this does not make the game unplayable.
