Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising offers easy fun. It may be simple, but it works, and even if you go back to the same areas a lot of times, it doesn't get boring.

Dorfromantik is the game version of a relaxing break. It's almost like putting together a puzzle, only in a slightly more interactive form. You lay down tiles with different landscape elements, and try to make them fit together.

While it is extraordinary beautiful, Trek to Yomis gameplay is lacking in multiple areas.

Nintendo Switch Sports is a fun and easily enjoyable game, but could use some more content.

Teardown offers a unique toy box experience. The game will probably not appeal to everyone, but those who enjoy to tinker with systems and experiment with different solutions to problems will find a lot to like here.

I am both impressed and happy with Destiny 2: The Witch Queen. A lot of the content is very good, and there are also some moves being made that make me excited for the future of this game.

The Skywalker Saga is at its best when it delves into its more linear and tightly designed sections, as the open areas are devoid of life and exciting missions to spend your time on.

Kirby remains as pure and charming as ever, and his newest game is an absolute joy.

Maybe there are those who want to laugh their heads off at the humor, and love to rummage through rubbish looking for treasures, but I'm fed up. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands can be fun. Especially with friends, but then you might as well play Borderlands 2 again.

After a slow first chapter, Weird West opens up to give players an exceptional and supernatural sandbox to play around in. Each story offers an exciting new perspective on the world, and is a joy to explore as you uncover the consequences of the many choices you make along the way.

Tunic is a really cozy game that only gets better the longer you play. It captures much of what made games like A Link to the Past so immersive in its time, but merges it with its own design elements (and a bit of Dark Souls).

Explosive combat, fun activities and a beautifully realised city makes GhostWire: Tokyo stand out as a truly unique experience.

There are too many good competitors out there for the game to stand out. The one thing Chocobo GP has over its competitors is Final Fantasy, and that's something the developers have completely failed to make full use of.

There are some funny elements in Conan Chop Chop, and the gameplay itself is ok, but when the underlying structure is as bad as this, it all collapses.

Triangle Strategy is a triumph. It is a beautiful and atmospheric game that offers both a really engaging story and gameplay that only makes you want more.

GRID Legends stands out from the pack thanks to great variety, action packed racing, fallible rivals and a superbly endearing story mode.

Gran Turismo 7 is a triumphant return for Polyphony. Being so much more than a simple racing game, it's a car enthusiast’s dream come true, with precise driving controls, fancy and immersive menus, and a soundtrack and presentation that tops it all off.

Lost Ark is a huge game, and feels like a game that has been out for several years already. It's polished and balanced, all the different classes are good, and there's an almost endless amount of content here.

Elden Ring is the culmination of everything Dark Souls brought before it, mixed with a fresh take on the open world genre that leaves no hand held with minimal boring sequences or clogged quest logs. Despite a few growing pains and the real fun beginning a few hours in, Elden Ring is what every game in its genre should strive to be; a challenging, mysterious adventure that never ceases to amaze, only getting better the more time you spend in its dark, yet absolutely beautiful world.

Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires simply lacks the essential fun factor that makes you want to play.

Techland deserves praise for having put together a well-functioning and well-flowing game, which is also completely free of microtransactions and other nonsense. It's just a shame that the game itself isn't more fun to play.

Total War: Warhammer III is a spectacle of a Total War game. While it doesn't do much in the way of micromanaging and even defaults on optimization, it offers some truly spectacular moments and epic campaigns whether you're playing as the humans or invading chaos monsters.

Horizon Forbidden West fails to live up to its predecessor in just about every way. While the world and its many new machines are stunning, the experience is bogged down with confusing design choices and variation for the sake of variation - making Aloy's newest adventure one to forget.

Expeditions: Rome is probably developer Logic Artist's biggest and most impressive game, but not all aspects are equally rewarding, and when you're forced to do the same thing over and over again, the whole unfortunately becomes somewhat less than the sum of its parts.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a huge step in the right direction, delivering on parts of the dream of being a pokémon trainer like never before. It's unfortunately also marred by a bland story, lackluster visuals and tons of small frustrations spread throughout.

Rainbow Six Extraction is a fun, slightly different game in the cooperative shooter genre. It's less chaotic, more methodical and maybe doesn't have the extreme peaks that, say, Back 4 Blood can have at its best.

Halo Infinite is a Halo game through and through, and probably the closest 343i have been at capturing the same magic that Bungie did all those years ago.

Shin Megami Tensei V offers well-known and traditional gameplay that has been modernized and refreshed exactly in the ways it needs to.
