MXGP 2020 is a motocross game that on the surface looks like its rather mediocre predecessors, but with higher resolution and better framerate. After a lap on the track, however, it becomes obvious that the control and physics have been greatly improved. In a year or two, we may be laughing at MXGP 2020 due to the fairly simple graphics and lack of content, but here and now it is actually the best interpretation of the sport so far.

When Observer was originally released three years ago, it was mostly met with praise, even though the console version left a lot to be desired. But with the power of Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X, this psychological horror crime adventure corrects many of the errors from the first version – and adds greatly improved graphics and some new content. The gameplay is still limited, and the bugs are unfortunately a bit too frequent, but the world and story keeps us hooked to the end.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity mixes the best of Hyrule Warriors with the aesthetics and mystique of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The result is a truly spectacular action game that not only entertains, but also gives us more of the story and the characters we have come to love. Fans of action games and The Legend of Zelda have a lot to pick up here.

With a generic design and a bit of a bland start, Immortals: Fenyx Rising does not make a particularly great first impression. Less than an hour later our feelings are starting to turn - and after that the game just keeps giving. It is a joy to travel the colorful world and discover imaginative puzzles, tricky challenges, and fun battles. Sure, the adventure is a bit unfocused and somewhat generic, but when the gameplay delivers so much joy, it does not matter much.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an engaging experience unlike anything else. The open world mechanics are top notch and there is almost always something to do on the map. Furthermore, we have a large number of different game paths to choose from, all of which give you a very own experience of the story. Combined with the hundreds of weapons, augmentations, upgrades and side missions, there is plenty of material that will last over a long period of time. Cyberpunk 2077 will definitely be remembered as one of the most significant titles in the history of gaming media.

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is a good attempt to revive the toys to life genre. The AR functions are really impressive, with varied environments such as snow landscapes and lava worlds that give your living room a completely new look. Unfortunately the basic game itself is somewhat limited in terms of characters and unlockables. In addition, the 200cc mode is the only one that corresponds to the fast-paced feel from the original. And the total prize will definitely discourage a lot of curious players.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure switches the creative mode from the main series to a more direct platform game. Some courses such as the rhythm-based ones are brilliant, but despite the improved control compared to Little Big Planet, most of them are too easy and slow for the experienced player. And apart from the Dual Sense features, there are no real "next gen" details that stand out.

With an entertaining campaign, great online opportunities and panic-stricken zombie slaughter, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is an impressive package. Still, we can not help but feel disappointed. The best parts of the campaign could have been developed much more and the online modes feel well stripped down. Cold War still impresses, but with more development time, it could have been so much more than "this year's Call of Duty game".

Demon's Souls is the perfect example of how new hardware can take an existing game to the next level. The aesthetics are top notch and the horsepower of the Playstation 5 makes the world more engaging. But above all, the super-fast loading times help to balance an already ultra-difficult combat system. For those who are up to the challenge, Demon's Souls is the absolute best Sony's new machine has to offer.

With gorgeous graphics and meaty battles, Godfall has a good chance to become a popular launch title. It does not matter that the game severely lacks variety and a decent story, when we get new flashy graphics. The problem for Godfall is that there are plenty of other launch games for Playstation 5, games that offer more than just nice graphics and great control. Actions fans might still find plenty to like here, but wait for a sale.

Yakuza: Like A Dragon is a fresh update of Sega's crazy gangster simulator. The new combat system is varied and really entertaining. The balance between the seriousness of the story and the humorous elements is excellent, and the new protagonist Ichiban is convincing. But unfortunately, the real "next-gen" elements are absent. Static environments and non-animated mouths should not occur at all in the year 2020.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a clear upgrade of the original concept. The feeling of being the Spider-Man is constantly there, especially when we swing through a technically impressive Manhattan that we have never seen before in games. It is simply a demonstration and a new standard for how open, endless worlds can be built with the help of the next generation of consoles.

Dirt 5 is an arcade racing game that ticks most of the right boxes. The races are fun and flashy, but also varied and reasonably challenging. The impressive weather effects also elevate the experience. Outside of the races however, there is a clear lack of content. But at the same time; If you want an entertaining rally game that is easy to pick up - Dirt 5 is a great choice.

Valhalla takes us on an emotional roller coaster between hope and disappointment. From a very strong start, to disastrous first few hours of play, to regaining our confidence once again when we discover the many layers and nuances that are hidden in the game. All accompanied by a fantastic story, which is lost in a mess of bugs and lag. Valhalla has all the potential to become a really good game, but stumbles on the execution.

Little Hope, the second part of the horror series Dark Pictures, is a more refined and scarier experience than its predecessor. Walking around the misty town reminds us of Silent Hill, even though the game soon takes a more familiar horror route. The journey could be better in a lot of ways, but just like horror movies, some weird acting and other oddities are a part of the package. Little Hope is far from perfect, but it is still a fun little horror gem that will entertain horror fans.

Watch Dogs: Legion offers light-hearted and not-too-challenging entertainment, all portrayed in a surprisingly compelling replica of London. But after a few hours of repetitive missions that lead us through the game without any major sense of development, we can not help but get a little bored quite early in the campaign.

With challenging yet fun racing, a career mode filled with content and a ton of different motorcycles, Ride 4 offers us most things we want from a racing game. Unfortunately, much of the enjoyment is hampered due to an unbelievably uneven difficulty level. Simple races are interspersed with challenging competitions and purely diabolical challenges. Ride 4 is still the most complete motorcycle racing game and a big upgrade compared to its predecessor - but be prepared to have your patience tested.

Fifa 20 continues its dominance, albeit in the absence of real competition. The new tricks give us more entertaining offense play and the career mode is more dynamic than ever. Volta has also been updated to the point of almost becoming a separate game. Despite this we do notice that EA cannot go further than this on today's consoles, and we look forward to a new entry for the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X.

No, NHL 21 is really not a news party by any means. It feels more like an "just because we can" attempt by EA to make one last penny on the current console generation. There is nothing major wrong with the game itself, but if you've played the prior editions of recent years you will notice the lack of new thinking.

Star Wars Squadrons is a flight action game that succeeds in most areas. The single player campaign is unexpectedly exciting, especially for Star Wars fans. The online part is easy to get into, difficult to master - and even harder to stop playing. However, both the single player campaign and the online mode is in dire need of more content. Although given the relatively low price point and the quality of what we get, it is hard to complain.

WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a party-oriented wrestling game with simple controls and deformed wrestlers. A package that works surprisingly well thanks to quick and flashy matches. However, the lack of depth is apparent, and it is difficult to ignore all the microtransaction - even if they are optional. It is still a fun party game, especially for the fans, but wait for a price drop.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time has everything that made Naughty Dog's original trilogy one of the most popular game series of the second half of the 90's. The same addictive gameplay is mixed with new elements we have not seen before in the series. The result is an adventure that we continue to play long after the final scenes have rolled by.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars contains three of Mario's very best adventures, now redesigned to work optimally on the Switch. Being able to carry these classics is a joy, and all the titles have been spruced up compared to their models. In terms of gameplay, the games have aged with dignity and hold up surprisingly well in a post-Super Mario Odyssey world. However, we do miss Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Marvel's Avengers portrays the superhero theme from a whole new perspective, and it's really refreshing. During the cinematic missions the game really is everything we wanted from an Avengers game, with flashy attacks and rock-hard action like the movies it was inspired by. However, the multiplayer focus means that some annoyances penetrate into our offline sessions.

It took a while, but with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, the series is finally great again. Sure, it's a little strange that the series reaches its former glory in a remake where the track design and gameplay are largely intact compared to the 20 year old original games, but it shows what a perfect concept Neversoft created over 20 years ago. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is not only the perfect game for old fans who want to relive the happy days of life, but also for new players who want an easily accessible yet deep skateboarding game.

Despite its name, Project Cars 3 is anything but a sequel to the realistic Project Cars 2. For better or worse, this is more of a sequel to Need for Speed Shift. Instead of tactical and demanding gameplay, Project Cars 3 aims for fast and thrilling races, spiced with an ounce of realism. It might sound like a disaster, but if you know what to expect, there is a lot of fun to be had here - if it was not for all the bugs and some odd design choices that currently ruin the experience. After a few updates the game might very well be worth your time, but at the moment it is better to wait.

Tell Me Why combines sharp storytelling, mystery and heavy atmosphere. The result is a family thriller that touches, but may not always go into depth. Freedom of choice around the game's crucial moment adds an extra spice, and Dontnod does not shy away from portraying things that can be really difficult. Highly recommended.

Paper Mario: The Origami King lacks innovation and variety when it comes to combat, but balances with an incredibly detailed world and fantastic dialogue. This game is simply a must in the platform enthusiast's collection.
