The trailers created high expectations, but the reality turns out to be boring and weird. The cops of The Precinct are worse than the gangsters they're chasing.

At its best, Doom: The Dark Ages is a fantastic first-person shooter with a brutal combat system that is convincing almost across the board. However, the dragon and mech missions as well as the uncreative open level structures make sure that the pacing doesn't always feel perfectly smooth.

Even though the look is the star of the game, The Midnight Walk has a lot to offer when it comes to gameplay. A unique and spooky adventure.

A return that could make fans of the series happy. Graphically and technically magnificent; a small roster and lackluster presentation of some modes prevent a better rating.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sets new standards for the genre of turn based RPGs with regard to the story, but even more so the combat. A new, shining star, who hopefully points the way for many future games.

An atmospheric coming-of-age adventure with a strong '90s feel, its strongest selling point being its well-written and drawn main characters. The soundtrack is smashing, but Don't Nod runs out of steam for the finale, leaving many questions completely unanswered.

An entertaining point-and-click puzzle collection with a deep narrative. Beautifully presented and a great addition to any cozy afternoon on the couch.

Simple but not boring in terms of gameplay, captivating but not overwhelming in terms of story: South of Midnight is an atmospheric game that harks back to the old days and transports you to an intriguing fairytale world that we're now eager to learn more about. The swamp awaits you.

inZOI offers a wide range of options for free design and few limitations in terms of gameplay. A more effective introduction to all the possibilities would be desirable. [Early Access Score = 80]

Atomfall is a refreshing alternative to Fallout and Stalker and shines in its first few hours with survival and detective work. After that, it quickly runs out of juice.

Assassin's Creed Shadows immerses us in a beautiful and, above all, atmospheric feudal Japan, where individual aspects of the game have been cleverly improved. However, an unexciting story, weaknesses in the AI and the repetitive, monotonous gameplay prevent the latest installment in the series from generating much excitement.

Xenoblade Chronicles X in it's best form to date. The Definitive Edition delights with all the strengths of the original version, pleasant changes and new content.

Split Fiction is further proof that Hazelight does coop-gameplay with excellence while still feeling like a unique experience. A tasty buffet of well-arranged gameplay variety.

Apart from too much focus on the story and a few hick-ups, Monster Hunter Wilds is offering exactly what one could wish from a new game in the series: Spectacular monsters, amazing fights and the feeling to fight for your life with real creatures.

Visually and playfully attractive role-playing game in a varied world with an extensive lore. The many dialog options and interesting characters as well as the powerful combat system are among the highlights. However, not recommended for Xbox Series S.

A successful Metroidvania that is particularly convincing in terms of exploration and combat systems, but lacks uniqueness.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 knows exactly where its strengths lie and takes full advantage of them. In some regards it lacks a bit of final polish, which is annoying but not too tragic.

Civilization 7 manages to surprise as well as challenge me and my expectations at a classic Civ-game. The developers dare to do one of the most drastic gameplay changes in the series and break with old patterns. It is a fine line between revolution and alienation.

Sweet cozy game fun for Hello Kitty fans and a young target group. Well suited for in-between times and for a relaxed pastime; but in the long run it may be negligible.

Sniper Elite Resistance is stagnating. On the one hand, there is still good stealth gameplay with a varied level design. On the other hand, the 6th installment offers no real improvements, and the formula is slowly wearing thin.

Delta Force hits the mark as a challenging tactical shooter, but it lacks the original ideas and authenticity to be a real hit.

A varied adventure for Indy fans and anyone who wants to become one. A little more focus on puzzles and a few fewer (or more sophisticated) close combat scenes would have been nice. However, the graphics, story and authentic locations offer a coherent picture.

Infinity Nikki hits the nail on the head. It may be a little harsh in a few points, but that didn't stop me from falling in love with this game. The possibility of squandering real money doesn't change that - I didn't have to use it.

An intense, atmospheric shooter which, however, cannot fulfill its potential due to its disastrous tech. Massive AI glitches, frustrating bugs and enormous performance problems cause significant frustration.

Miniatures is a very special experience that weaves unpleasant childhood memories with surreality and will stay in your memory, not least thanks to its chic presentation.

Graphically polished and therefore visually attractive gem for genre and series fans. However, a lack of depth in the story and characters quickly leads to monotony.

Lego Horizon Adventures looks absolutely amazing, but its gameplay is lacking in almost every way. Kids could nonetheless find fun in hunting machines in the coop-mode.

Thanks to a well-rounded game principle peppered with charming details, Amber Isle has nothing to hide. The team has clearly taken care to deliver a clean job. Highly recommended.
