Monster Hunter Wilds perfectly combines the strengths of its predecessors, World and Rise, making it more accessible than ever with its various quality-of-life features, while still managing to avoid overly diluting the gameplay. New features like Focus Slam and Wounds add new & fun elements to the battles and the changing weather creates the impression of a vibrant game world in which you can move (almost) completely freely.

For me, Assassin's Creed Shadow is by far the best installment in the series so far and will hopefully serve as a blueprint for future releases. The Japanese game world is incredibly well realized, the seasons and dynamic weather enhance the experience immensely and the decision to simply split the two very different gameplay aspects - stealth and action - between two characters works perfectly.

Even though the story lacks a bit of impact, the spin-off thoroughly entertained me and I'd happily don the eye patch again anytime. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is the perfect proof that video games don't always have to take themselves so seriously and another building block that demonstrates how great, absurd and diverse the series is. The naval battles were one of the game's biggest highlights for me, being able to engage in real-time combat again after Infinite Wealth was a welcome change and I'm already looking forward to the next spin-off of the series.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a more than worthy successor in every respect, immersively continuing Henry's story and not shying away from critical topics. Above all, the game world with its special charm captivates players like few other games. Technically, not everything runs smoothly and without issues, which can hopefully be patched in the future, but even so, what Warhorse Studios has created here is more than remarkable. And even if not everything is 100% historically accurate or completely realistic, the game creates a believable world and does that well without fantasy elements.

As a fan of surreal horror the game's atmosphere captivated me from the start. The PlayStation 1-esque look is tailor-made for me and the game's narrative design is incredibly well executed. The story keeps you hooked until the end and aside from a few technical glitches, there's really nothing I can find to criticize about the game. Mouthwashing is exactly the fresh mouthwash you need after AAA titles like the Silent Hill 2 remake to reawaken the beautifully disturbing and creative facets of horror.
