The Rise and Fall expansion is a welcome addition to Civilization VI. While the Loyalty, Ages and Alliance mechanics stand out as the best additions, the newly added governors seem somewhat lacking, and the AI needs more work in order to properly cope with the new Alliance and Emergency mechanics.

The absolute biggest draw is definitely the story, where the developers once again deliver drama and mystery that you can't wait to enjoy more of. There are few game stories that interest me to such an extent that I'm disappointed when the cutscenes are over, but the Like a Dragon series makes it happen. Like a Dragon: Ishin is by no means an exception.

Mafia: Definitive Edition is one of the most visually stunning games out there, but the beautiful city streets and cars are held back by the outdated shooting and fighting mechanics, as well as a story which never really manages to tell a heartfelt and unique mafia epic.

EA works steadily towards making this as real as possible, and with that they are also ensuring the series feels fresh. Tiger has been surrounded by alot of turbulence off the course the last year, but on the digital green he's still king.the last year, but on the digital green he's still king.

Battletech is an often fun tactical Mech game, but one that sadly is held back by an overreliance on an intrusive RNG system and long wait times between gameplay.

Detroit: Become Human is not for everybody, but for those who had good experiences with the Quantic Dream as a studio - or for those who love modern point and click adventure games – the game is a great addition.

Overhaul Games has succeeded in making one of the big RPG classics available on modern machines. The infinity engine looks great in HD and all the esthetics are well preserved. The new stuff is okay, but most importantly Baldur's Gate can now be fully enjoyed again, as it deserves.

By playing Distant Worlds you are essentially creating your own epic space opera. Its living universe and great depth makes it a highly enjoyable and addictive strategy game.

Greedfall delivers an exceptional and well told story that grabs you and pulls you into its fascinating and beautiful world filled with intrigue and conflict.

Madden NFL 12 is a two-edged sword. On one hand it offers new players, post-trade rosters and some new features. On the other hand it is essentially very similar to the Madden games released over the last years, but if you are a fan, you will probably not be disappointed.

NHL 17 might just be the best hockey game there ever was, but returning annoyances and few real changes make for a game that isn't much better than its predecessor.

Playing rock music with plastic instruments is old-fashioned, and that's why Harmonix gives you a Rock Band game that doesn't use these primitive tools. Instead you play notes with your controller and this is surprisingly fun. All instruments are well implemented and the fact that you can play ANY song from the massive Rock Band library is a feat in itself.

Fallout 4 VR delivers a vast, living world, with a great atmosphere that was made for exploration in virtual reality. Some of the game mechanics like the menu system needs polishing, but Bethesda has given us a viable alternative to playing the game on a PC or console.

Quotation forthcoming.

Whether you're a Paradox pro or newcomer, Stellaris invites you to a grand strategy experience like no other. With its beautiful visuals, deep exploration mechanics, inspiring soundtrack and intriguing mysteries, Stellaris is bound to make you boldly go where no man - or woman - has gone before.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a fun and energetic trip to Hyrule. The heroes are all different and a joy to play, plowing through hordes of enemies while showering the screen in fireworks is a sight to behold.

A honorable attempt to breach multiple difficult and complex issues.

Borderlands 3 is, quite simply, more Borderlands. That means excessive charming humor, great variety in environments and sidequests and a lot of fun coop action spread throughout. The things that hold the game back are mostly minor annoyances – like the overabundance of everlasting boss fights and the gruesomely tiresome inventory management – but all in all this is a package that simply works.

A tense and unnerving experience that wonderfully captures the style and atmosphere of the original film. Alien: Isolation, in spite of its faults, is a welcome and accomplished take on a great franchise long deserving of a grate game.

The campaign is too short, even for an arcade game. The gameplay is repetitive, and you'll probably be tired long before you've played all 100 levels. The multiplayer can be good fun with some friends, but don't expect the fun to last all night.

For Honor is brutal fun. The fighting game mechanics take some time to truly get used to, but once you do, there's a unique, clever and deeply engaging multiplayer experience to be had here.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is fresh, funky and full of incredible, yet slightly frustrating nostalgia.

The unique gameplay where unlit platforms disappear makes this game original and entertaining for a while. Closure serves good logic based puzzles, but can become somewhat repetitive after a short while.

Dying Light: The Beast is fine, and that's about it. The parkour is fine. The combat is fine. The exploration is fine. The level design is … actually some of the best in the series. Maybe it would've been better off as just a DLC though.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a surprisingly solid rhythm game that both Final Fantasy fans and general video game music enthusiasts should try.

Marvel Rivals manages to feel both familiar and like a breath of fresh air. The cast of characters is exciting across the board, and once the game adds more maps and hopefully better matchmaking, I think NetEase could be on to a winner.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is almost the perfect sequel. Sadly, improvements in gameplay, story, visuals and more is mired in an undercooked package, with horrible performance and fatal crashes plaguing, at the very least, the game's launch week.

Dune: Awakening captures the spirit of its source material in a way few licensed games do – it’s a solid survival experience with flashes of brilliance, even if combat and endgame content still feel undercooked.
