    Chicory: A Colorful Tale
    The excellent, charming, and fresh indie RPG Chicory: A Colorful Tale has it all: original gameplay, a fantastic story with depth and wit, and great characters that invite you to relax and explore. The story about the children of color in the lovingly designed province of Picnic, which we are allowed to significantly influence in terms of design, entertains over a course of ten to twelve hours, but above all also invites us to think and philosophize. Chicory is already one of the big game highlights of 2021. If you have a heart for little indie gems, you can't miss Chicory.

    A captivating rogue-like thanks to its simple, yet elegant design that will keep you hooked for days on end.

    Panzer Corps 2
    The strategy game offers an insane amount with over one thousand different units and appeals through its neat visual design. The gameplay is fair, but quite challenging and can entice through its depth in mechanics. Rare crashes were only a minor inconvenience.

    DOOM Eternal
    Without a doubt one of id software's best. Intense battles, brutal enemies, glorious design, a pulse-pounding soundtrack and a smooth engine all come together in one amazing package.

    Lost in Random: The Eternal Die
    Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is a successful return to the world of Random. As a rogue-lite title, the game is particularly beginner-friendly and never overwhelming, although this might quickly be a negative for experienced players.

    Under The Waves
    Under the Waves is one of the biggest positive surprises of the year. The developers of the indie game have crated one of the most beautiful gaming worlds in the last months. Water effects and the life under the sea looks stunning. But the adventure offers more than just beautiful graphics. The Story about our main character Stan and his sad past is so good and heartbraking at the same time. For people who are in love with slow paced adventures, Under the Waves is the perfect game between the blockbusters Baldur’s Gate 3 and Starfield.

    Pentiment
    Even though the almost 20-hour detective story takes a lot of time at the beginning and has been provided with little playful variety, Pentiment shines with a gripping murder investigation that captivates more intensively step by step. The team around Sawyer succeeds flawlessly in connecting interesting characters from different social classes and backgrounds to a complex web that contains many major and also intimate revelations.

    Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World
    Cute, fun, and now even smoother: Kirby has made the jump to the Switch 2 very well.

    Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
    A great remake of the GameCube classic, with a few lingering flaws keeping it from being the perfect remake.

    Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers
    Shadowbringers is one of the best MMO-Addons, we have ever played. The emotional main story is breathtaking and in its own right the best reason to play this game. Moreover, there is so much great content with the new zones, dungeons and raids or fresh features like the Trust System. A Must-Play for every MMO-Fan.

    Donkey Kong Bananza
    Donkey Kong: Bananza surprises with creative ideas, a powerful destruction feature, and a sense of exploration that's strongly reminiscent of Super Mario Odyssey—without simply copying it. Anyone who enjoys charming 3D platformers with a collecting focus, clever level design, and gameplay freedom will find a real treat here. While the adventure isn't entirely free of technical weaknesses and some boss battles are a bit too easy, the bottom line is that Donkey Kong: Bananza delivers exactly what it promises: a fun, unusually deep, and atmospherically strong adventure—not just for die-hard DK fans.

    NieR: Automata - The End of YoRHa Edition
    Even the weakest version of Nier: Automata is an unforgettable, mindblowing experience you absolutely shouldn’t miss. Play it on one of the other platforms, if you can, as the 30 FPS lock makes the extremely dynamic action feel a bit sluggish, but if you play exclusively on Switch, you’re getting a well-made port of one of the best and unique games the last console generation had to offer.

    Nobody Wants to Die
    Nobody Wants To Die offers a wonderfully dark crime story in an excellent cyberpunk world that makes us question our own perceptions. Despite slightly repetitive gameplay, the game is convincing across the board and captivates us until the bitter end.

    Monster Hunter Wilds
    Great battles against creative monsters that help you overcome small weaknesses. Monster Hunter lives from the hunts and they are more than successful.

    Borderlands 4
    Ultimately, Borderlands 4 gets the crucial things right that you would expect from a Borderlands game. It's a loot shooter, and the looting and shooting works so well that we don't want to stop playing. Shooting tons of weapons at tons of enemies and collecting tons of loot has always been the DNA of Borderlands. It's a fun loop that still hasn't gotten old after 16 years and has once again been perfectly implemented in Borderlands 4.

    Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
    Monster Hunter Stories 2 is very different to the main series of Monster Hunter games. It puts an emphasis on the story and replaces the action-packed fights with a more traditional RPG system. Overall, Monster Hunter Stories 2 is a great story-driven game which we highly recommend.

    Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
    The Lost Crown is exactly what the franchise needed. An incredible comeback for both Prince of Persia and Ubisoft Montpellier.

    World of Goo
    A masterpiece of a puzzle game, one that raises the bar for an entire genre. Filled with varied exciting levels, strong art design and a stirring soundtrack, this is one game to be remembered for a long, long time.

    Astro Bot
    Astro Bot has accessible gameplay, superb Dualsense implementation, rock-solid tech and so much charm that you can’t help but smile along. It doesn’t want to revolutionize the platformer genre, it just wants you to be happy. And that is a mission it succeeds at with flying colors.

    The new Prince of Persia is a first-class metroidvania that just keeps getting better the longer we play.

    Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
    The Switch version of The Lost Crown is a quality release, with a smooth framerate and very little compromises compared to the other versions. It's easily one of the best metroidvanias on the system and a fantastic comeback for both Ubisoft Montpellier and the Prince of Persia franchise.

    Hellblade 2 is also very impressive on the PS5, especially with the new performance mode.

    F1 2020
    The new "My Team" mode is the biggest innovation (and improvement) in recent years and fits perfectly into the F1 game concept from Codemasters. Apart from that, the many adjustments to the driving experience, penalty system, TV-like presentation and technology add a little extra. F1 2020 is not only the best F1 game, it is also one of the best racing games out there.

    Balatro
    Its mechanics can rely a little too much on luck, but even if you fail terribly, Balatro will keep you coming back for more.

    Crysis 2
    Fantastic visuals, fast combat and clever nanosuit mechanics more than compensate for some linear leveldesign, a mediocre story and unvaried enemy design. It's not as good as the first game in the series, but it's a great shooter nonetheless.

    Forza Horizon 3
    A spectacular arcade racing game with brilliant graphics. The driving feels terrific, the amount of content is staggering and the faux Australia is joy to explore. Need for Speed, take heed.

    Two Point Campus
    The developers manage to offer enough innovations and variety without any great experiments, so that the game doesn't just look like a Two Point Hospital with a new coat of paint. Of course, there is still room for improvement. But for anyone who is even a little bit interested in business simulations, a visit to Two Point County is actually a must.

    F1 23
    Surprisingly, EA and Codemasters deliver one of the biggest and best F1 games with F1 23 – a massive playground for those who love motorsports and high speed. And thanks to F1 World, casual gamers are now more welcome than ever.

    Loco Motive
    Agatha Christie would be proud: Loco Motive marries the old-school whodunnit-mystery with point-and-click-adventures of the 90’s. Its cartoony artstyle and whacky comedy blend together into a cozy detective-game to whisk us away into the glam of the roaring 20’s.

    Gears 5
    Gears is sawing in the right direction now. Gears of War 4 disappointed a bit, the new Gears studio was under a lot of (time) pressure. This time The Coalition surprised positively. Gears 5 offers more variety than previous Gears and, thanks to Jack, gives real strategic skills for the first time. I also like the longer, atmospheric story sections. Fortunately, the storyline with Kait offers suspense, as the story about the Hammer of Dawn doesn't exactly sparkle with ingenuity. Thanks to The Coalition for the three-player co-op mode as well as for the escape mode. All in all, Gears 5 convinced me.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
    Call of Duty has lost its magic. Modern Warfare 3 is miles away from the epic campaign missions of the franchise. The new open combat missions are boring and we are missing the scripted action sequences of the prequels. After only four hours the story is completed, even for a Call of Duty that’s short. We still have the feeling, this game should be a DLC and not a sequel of MW2. [Campaign Review Score = 40]

    Norland
    Cute to look at, motivating and complex: Norland may not be perfect yet, but it has enormous strategic potential. If Long Jault irons out a few weaknesses, Norland could become a real hit candidate. [Early Access Score = 70]

    Hitman - Intro Pack
    In the first release of the episodic Hitman-game you got access to the prologue and the first story mission. The sandbox-design of the levels is great and offers tons of variations how to fulfill your contracts – just like in Blood Money. In addition you can play the live events (escalation, contracts, illusive targets). Though there are just two locations available within the first release, it can be very repetitive after some time. Gameplay is well done, but technical issues like glitches, minor bugs and performance drops can be frustrating.
