Robust mechanics and some interesting ideas make Hard West 2 an enjoyable sequel, even though it does have its flaws. If you can look past the shallow character development and the occasional trial & error design, it's a solid recommendation, especially if you consider the low price tag.

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.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 combines aspects from the previous games and features a lot of details without excluding people who haven’t played them yet. Aside from the mediocre graphics and some other issues it’s one of the best JRPGs available for Nintendo Switch.

Card Shark feels fascinating and fresh, the story is solid and learning the tricks is fun—but there are some annoying issues with freezes and crashes.

Even though Live a Live is an old game, it feels fresh and exciting. Moreover, it looks gorgeous. This is a good choice if other JRPGs are too lengthy for your liking.

Quotation forthcoming.

Power Wash Simulator is already the most satisfying game of the year. To clean cars, motorcycles, playgrounds or even the Mars Rover has never been so great. And the best thing is, we can do this together with five friends in a coop session.

Stray is a fairly common adventure from an uncommon perspective and always at it's best, when that is shown off...The very first interactions with objects and characters in the game world have something magical and playful about them. Later in the game there are less and less new functions to discover and we instead get classic gameplay of running, solving puzzles and stealth. It is still absolutely servicable and cute, thanks to the cat protagonist. The last part oft he game feels rushed though.

Endling doesn’t leave us with a positive feeling, but weakness. The story is depressing and at the same time full of hope. If you like short indie games with a serious ark and beautiful animations, Endling is for you.

This expansion is essential more of the same, but that’s great – Sunbreak delivers impressive new monsters, many great fights and fresh environments as a welcome change.

The F1 series was getting better and better in the last years. Unfortunately F1 22 stops this trend. F1 Life and Supercars aren’t the new interesting features we were hoping for. The gameplay has weaknesses as well and on top there are some big graphic issues when it comes to rainy races.

Sonic is the hero of my childhood! I grew up with 2D platformers and my Mega Drive with games is now well protected in a glass cabinet in the living room. Accordingly, I approached Sonic Origins with hope. Sega would have had the chance to interest younger players and offer old fans a little added value. But they missed it cleanly. For new players, 40 euros for four old games will be too much. At the same time, the collection offers almost nothing new for fans. Sure, the scans of the old manuals and developer sketches are nice, but they are nothing more than some fluff on top. The versions of the games work good on Xbox Series and still play fantastically, but they are only warmed up and nothing here is original from the Mega Drive. This is simply unworthy of these classics of gaming history.

The Cycle: Frontier is a game that has a great foundation for the future. The PvPvE shooter shows no mercy. Other players will try to steal your loot and the only thing you can do is either run away and hopefully lose them or fight back and kill them before they kill you. The feeling when extracting after a tough run is phenomenal. A recommendation for anyone who’s looking for a free PvPvE shooter. However, the game also has still a couple of issues, which need to be fixed.

A pointless re-release. If you really want to play this game, despite all its shortcomings, you should pick up the superior ScummVM version.

Not necessarily a great strategy game on its own, but still a charming budget title that treats its license with respect and delivers some of the best Starship Troopers action we've seen in any video game so far.

The new regions of High Isle are once again great in design, the quests are fantastically written and there is a lot to do. In detail, however, we are disappointed on a high level. The quest design has been more varied in the past, and the battles rarely offer a challenge. Furthermore, it's about time that Zenimax adds new classes oder weapon types, something that brings a breath of fresh air.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes feels like a classic warriors game but still requires strategic thinking. It provides little to no innovation regarding the core gameplay, instead it offers quite a few aspects we‘ve already seen and loved in Three Houses. If you miss the characters and want to enjoy some fast-paced combat, it’s worth checking out.

TMNT Shredder’s Revenge is a fantastic hommage to Turtles movies, cartoons, games and even toys. The beautiful art style and the phenomenal soundtrack really make one feel like playing a modern version of Turtles in Time with a lot of fresh ideas and improvements. The gameplay is smooth, the animations are great and combat is easy to learn but surprisingly deep for a brawler game. If you like the Turtles or the brawler genre, you will have lots of fun with the game. Especially in coop mode with up to six players. If you like the Turtles AND the brawler genre, you will simply love Shredder’s Revenge. This is the game, Turtles fans have been waiting for.

One of the best mobile games suffers from one of the worst cases of monetization we've seen in years. Blizzard misses its one shot to finally win back some of its loudest critics. What we have instead is a Diablo that will forever be labeled as a greedy pay-to-win game - even if there is actually a ton of great content that you can enjoy without spending a dime. Diablo Immortal may be worth your time, but certainly not your money.

A Musical Story isn’t a conventional rhythm game. This adventure focuses on the story, if your goal is to achieve high scores, you have to look elsewhere. Albeit on the short side, this is an enjoyable road trip with vibrant visuals and groovy music.

Mario Strikers Battle League Football is wild, chaotic and – because of that – a lot of fun. The gameplay is smooth and well balanced and the presentation is absolutely gorgeous. Sadly the content is ridiculous. Only 10 players to choose from, five stadiums that do not have any special effects on the game and three game modes are included. That is too little for a price of 60 Euros.

Quotation forthcoming.

Silt is an atmospheric and surreal experience with an outstanding artstyle and a lot of well balanced, creative puzzles. Unfortunately the controls are quite imprecise, so that some parts later in the game are a bit annoying. Silt is not a masterpiece like Limbo, but definitely an amazing experience.

Sniper Elite 5 has a few weaknesses like the cliche story, the frumpy graphics and some bugs. But overall it’s a great game with a lot of gameplay variety and a great amount of content.
