A strong beginning, but the fun fades when Humanity moves away from the puzzles in favor of action.

An engaging and challenging, but still unfinished game.

As a game, Redfall simply doesn't measure up. The familiar Arkane magic that has always lurked in the developer's previous games is completely absent. Instead, we get an experience that is just as limp and uninventive as it looks.

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.

With Everspace 2, Rockfish takes the leap from roguelike to a full-fledged space adventure in a giant galaxy. Here there are endless things to explore, but a lack of variety means that the experience quickly loses its zest.

The Mountain King weaves a powerful and at times disturbing tale, but falls a bit short on its gameplay.

The Mageseeker is a game with genuinely entertaining combat system and an interesting story that suffers from painfully repetitive level design.

Despite flimsy physics and a hard-to-grasp story, Teslagrad 2 is a fast-paced, fun and atmospheric Metroidvania.

A fairly successful meeting between two worlds, but not without problems.

Two fantastic tactics games that will provide hours of entertainment for both experienced tacticians and newcomers alike.

A beautiful and relaxing game that is over too soon, and is too bare bones to encourage replaying.

Dead Island 2 is a lot of occasional fun when played together with a friend, but the game suffers from a distinct lack of meaningful story development and gameplay which feels quite samey from time to time.

Dredge is a simple, yet incredibly atmospheric game, whose fluid gameplay, hand drawn art style and meaningful musical interludes makes for a very compelling experience.

Bayonetta Origins is a charming and colorful journey that replaces intense action with puzzles and wonder.

Tchia could have benefited from a bit more polish, better flow, more animals and a bit more to do out in the countryside, but it's still a game anyone who enjoys the open world genre should check out.

The best version of one of the greatest games of all time, and one of the best Resident Evil games ever.

Despite being both fussy and clumsy throughout parts of the barely 15 hours the game lasts, Atomic Heart has just enough character and cool sequences to make this a game that might be well worth a closer look.

Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe offers a lot of fun for both young and old, and exploring the many nooks and crannies is consistently rewarding.

The Light Brigade is a great PlayStation VR2 game. Excellent shooting mechanics and roguelike elements make the game highly replayable, and unlocking new classes is always a thrill. The PS VR2 version does suffer from the occasional frame drop, but overall it's a smooth and well-crafted experience.

The Settlers: New Allies is a frustrating experience that lacks much of the series' fundamentals. This is a streamlined The Settlers game that has been simplified as much as possible, but if the goal was to create a big multiplayer hit by making it easier to get into, it misses the mark.

There was already a lot to appreciate about Metroid Prime on the GameCube, and on Nintendo Switch it works better than ever before. It feels much better to be able to play with regular joysticks, and the graphical upgrade makes the game one of the most impressive Switch launches yet.

Company of Heroes 3 represents a great evolution of the franchise despite being less than ambitious when it comes to the battlefield. The inclusion of a campaign map is however the best choice the series has ever made, even though it's a shame it's not available in the multiplayer mode.

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.

Horizon Call of the Mountain is a gorgeous game that makes a good showcase for PS VR2, only hampered slightly by its predefined limited systems for exploration and combat.

Thanks to its sprawling world and plethora of engaging ways to play, Hogwarts Legacy manages to set itself apart as the best Harry Potter related game of all time.

Fire Emblem Engage drowns a solid and entertaining tactics game under layer upon layer of boring filler nonsense that does a very good job of ruining the experience.

A gorgeous and atmospheric remake that improves on the original in almost every way.

Forspoken is so uninspired and mired in cliches that its fantastic voice acting cast can only do so much to keep the game afloat. And while the movement and combat systems are interesting, they're often on the cusp of greatness without ever really realizing their full potential.
