Although Darksiders 3 is not a masterpiece like its predecessor, Gunfire Games have managed to create an almost fun and sometimes tough action-adventure game with reduced resources and well-sanctioned gameplay.

Virtual Rick-ality offers fans the typical humor of the series and a great recognition value, but the gameplay is convincing, too.

Watch Dogs offers convincing hacking mechanics and freedom of play, but the futuristic scenario isn't used as much as it could be.

Empire of the Ants offers entertaining real-time strategy in an exciting setting and looks stunningly good.

Off the beaten track, Far Cry 5 is strongly reminiscent of its predecessors. If you have no problem with ticking off small tasks in an Open World shooter, you can blow off steam with sufficient weapons, tools and vehicles. But much more was expected from the now fifth Far Cry installment.

It's not easy to get into and doesn't include a story, but if you persevere Elite: Dangerous is the best available space opera.

Successful remaster of a great game: Even after 23 years, Doom 64 still plays incredibly fresh.

Little Nightmares 3 is a great puzzle platformer that we really enjoyed, especially in co-op mode.

An exciting world and high replay value sparkle once again in The Outer Worlds 2, even if the main story is not the strongest.

Immortals of Aveum brings a fresh breeze to the FPS genre with its peculiarities. Just right for fun solo action in between.

Pokémon Pokopia is a charming and extensive sandbox experience with a lot of content, but some compromises in graphics and controls.

Not the desired alternative for those who don't like motion-control, nevertheless a fun Zelda game. Albeit not the best.

Even though Lost Sphear may not quite match the quality class of the SNES classic, the Tokyo RPG Factory is much closer to the big role model with their new game than it was in I am Setsuna.

FIFA 23 is a very good soccer game, that comes along without highlight and partly half-baked in the implementation of new features.

LEGO 2K Drive is with its powerful construction kit a fun mix of Mario Kart and Forza Horizon.

An action-adventure that fortunately gives us a lot of credit, captivates us with its world, but offers too little variety in the battles.

A Way Out reminded me of the terrific TV series Prison Break in its best moments, even though the time pressure is often just an illusion and scenes obviously follow a script. Despite some logic holes, the simple gameplay and the dusty graphics I had a lot of fun.

Quotation forthcoming.

A great experience for Marvel and Lego enthusiasts. Without that bonus it's a just a bit above average.

The game has suffered by being ported to the 3Ds. It's still a great game, but I would only recommend the Wii version.

Pokémon Tekken combines both original games into a great fighting game. Only the single player mode lacks diversity.

Creative potato visuals meets complex management sim. However, the variety necessary to be a great strategy title is missing in the long run.

The sheer amount of small advances makes all the difference. The expansion cannot shake the disappointing basic structure of Pokémon Sword and Shield, but it can continue to experiment within the defined framework. The result is a clear success.

Ice with style. NHL 19 is actually a very good sports game, but the microtransactions for the HUT mode are a scandal.

As a big fan of Remedy, I was really looking forward to Control. In the end, however, I was largely disappointed. Thanks to the confused narrative style, I have never really gotten warm with the exciting background story.

Bravely Default 2 is a nice JRPG with a strong combat system, that only falls short in terms of its story.

A clever color mixing puzzler with many new ideas and exciting puzzle mechanics, but quite weak on the narrative level.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition shines with a massive scope and is a great introduction to the Musou genre - but only for Zelda fans.
