    Total War: Rome Remastered cleans up the original, but the game won't win a beauty prize. There's a ton of content, with all of the Rome: Total War expansions included and the freedom to play all nations right away. Although it is certainly not a bad game, it is clear to experienced Total War players that the technology has moved on. A somewhat stupid artificial intelligence prevents Total War: Rome Remastered from claiming a place among modern strategy games.

    Hood: Outlaws & Legends is a unique multiplayer game with a nice dark atmosphere. While the game can be very exciting and tactical through the use of stealth, players are not motivated enough to use it. As a result, chaotic brawls predominate. In addition, the lack of more modes, maps and characters means that the game doesn't feel finished yet.

    Episode Intermission is a must-have addition for fans of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, with a joyful character, new fighting style and a small but important story. The original has since been polished up extremely well and runs smoothly on the PlayStation 5.

    Despite a few minor technical glitches and a simple story, Operation: Tango plays fluently for the most part. A big advantage is that only one player has to purchase the game – the other can join with the Friend Pass. The puzzles are fun and quite intuitive to solve as long as players ask each other the right questions. This makes the game very suitable for remote gaming.

    With an impressive proprietary programming language, Gamestudio brings games development to the masses. Inventing and making your own games is explained with the help of seven extensive lessons, but sharing your own creations remains limited. It hardly spoils the fun, because the greatest fun lies in tinkering and experimenting. That part also has its limitations, but this is an extremely accessible entry point for the real handymen.

    Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is one such rare remake that looks too much like the original. Rather than freshening up the outdated gameplay, this game just has a new graphical style that only gets in the way of gameplay. That's irritating for those who are already familiar with this game and downright bizarre for those who have never met Alex Kidd.

    Calling Monster Hunter Stories 2 a spin-off doesn't do the game justice. This Monster Hunter jrpg excels in all areas that important to a game within the genre, from the spectacularly animated cutscenes, to the deep yet easy to grasp combat system where the Monster Hunter DNA is beautifully intertwined. Above all, it's a great introduction to the series, which makes Monster Hunter accessible to a younger audience as well.

    Thanks to a combination of deep golf mechanics and chaotic gameplay, Mario Golf: Super Rush is especially good as a multiplayer game. It lacks creative solo content and jobs that exploit the possibilities of the Mushroom Kingdom.

    The many technical feats that steal the show in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will be talked about for a long time to come. The graphic violence will make you want to buy a PlayStation 5. But this crazy journey through dimensions will also delight young and old with a very diverse arsenal of weapons, fun gadgets and many endearing characters.

    Biomutant is erratic in design. The mission design is too traditional and the game relies on a messy story with bad dialogue and meaningless characters, while the action and some RPG systems are better than those of peers.

    Mass Effect's Legendary Edition lovingly puts three of the best games ever back in the spotlight. That is actually enough reason to recommend this package, but it still feels as if Bioware is missing out on opportunities to turn out really big.

    Resident Evil Village is more than a worthy sequel to the seventh part. The game cleverly manages to scare players through various gameplay styles. With an imposing game world, effective thrills and a variety of secrets, the game sets a course that we would like to see in future installments.

    Returnal combines the adrenaline of a bullet hell shooter, the depth of a roguelike and the allure of a blockbuster game. That special mix provides a gaming experience that is as unforgettable as it is unforgivable.

    Outriders might not be the best game this year will bring, it is so much fun. This game is definitely a blast with its many weapons and skills. Too bad there are so many connectivity issues.

    Loop Hero is an interesting combination of genres with a very own flavour. This deck builder or roguelite or tower defense game goes deeper than you might think.

    Even though it is quite hard to master this game, it is the most accessible Monster Hunter game ever. The Wirebug makes it easier to move around and there are less waiting times between fights.

    It Takes Two is a combination of a romcom and co-op game. The platforming feels fresh and new thanks to the wonderful surroundings and game mechanics.

    Narita Boy is a perfect ode to the 80's with amazing sidescrolling action in a neon world. This game is so creative, we love it.

    When Doom 3 originally came out, we could only dream of playing it in VR. Now that's a reality, we feel that Doom 3 is simply too old. Thankfully Archiact made it very intuitive.

    Balan Wonderworld is a videogame from Yuji Naka. However, even if the team had more time we wonder if the game would be worth your time.

    Maquette starts off strong, but halfway through the story we forgot why the gameplay and the story were such a great match. Maquette offers a fun way to play with scale and is therefor still worth the try.

    Bravely Default 2 is great for people longing for the Final Fantasy experience from the NES era. If you are okay with the long dungeons and repetitive fights, you will enjoy the combinations of different classes in fights in this refreshing game.

    Super Meat Boy Forever feels completely overtaken by time. The game is inferior to its predecessor in every way. The biggest problem is the fact that an autorunner like Forever leaves much less control to the player. The levels and bosses in Super Meat Boy Forever are therefore more annoying and frustrating than fun and challenging.

    Olija's main mechanism works great, but then fails in performance. Levels rarely excite the player with interesting variations and complex level design, which makes the game disappointing as a platformer.

    Cyber Shadow is a solid ninja game that offers an old-fashioned challenge with clever checkpoints. By the end of the game, the shine is a bit off and due to several minor flaws it ends up being just a little too often frustrating.

    Little Nightmares 2 manages to surpass its predecessor with much more variety. The locations are more varied and the creepy situations are never repeated anywhere. You don't want to wake up from this nightmare.
