Deliver at all Costs is a fun little game that is quite respectable, considering that it started out as a school project by a group of students. The wild and chaotic crashing through the destructible game world is simply a lot of fun. Unfortunately, some of the features have not been thought through to the end and do not fulfill their potential. What I enjoyed most while playing was the positive surprise regarding the story. I wasn't expecting a plot with mystery and supernatural elements in this game.

Roadcraft is a good mix of SnowRunner and Expeditions: A MudRunner Game. The new building mechanics adds variety and new challenges. A smart evolution for fans and newbies.

A good, challenging real-time tactical game with a high puzzle factor and the typical Commandos charm. Unfortunately, it's less sophisticated than the competition.

The Precinct reminds of old GTA games but on the other side of the law. The story is interesting and the destruction physics in the open world sandbox are fun to watch. Unfortunately driving vehicles feels very clunky and the boring main protagonist is wasted potential. But overall, The Precinct is at the moment the best police simulation out there.

From the very beginning, The Midnight Walk takes players on an emotional journey through a dark world. Equally dark and heartbreaking, the game tells serious stories with a lot of depth.

Doom: The Dark Ages is a flawlessly playable shooter that impresses with its blend of old-school gunplay and mechanical depth. Lame story and vehicle sections aside, you probably won't find more intense shooting anywhere else this year.

The cult role-playing game returns with sleek graphics and meaningful improvements – a treat for fans! The technology could be better, though.

A successful remaster that brings Days Gone to modern hardware with a higher resolution and better performance, but without making any particular graphical leaps. The gripping story remains a great experience anyway.

It's so annoying that the AI's mistakes are once again getting in the way of a higher score. But MotoGP 25 is still a lot of fun.

Ambitious and motivating, but still capable of improvement in some areas: The quasi-one-man project Pax Augusta has as much charm as it does potential, but still suffers from handling and comfort weaknesses.

An audiovisual delight and a surprisingly deep role-playing game: With its story, style, and excellent combat system, Clair Obscur breathes a breath of fresh, croissant-scented air into the JRPG genre.

A rock-solid real-time strategy game bringing tons of old-school fun to a new generation. It is heavily inspired by C&C, for sure, but since that franchise has been dormant for ages, Tempest Rising is pretty successful in filling the gap.

The coming-of-age adventure in the style of Life is Strange, with great characters, dialog and a mystical storyline, lets up a little at the end, but offers a great experience overall. I had a lot of fun with Swan, Nora, Kat and Autumn. I also enjoyed taking a nostalgia trip back to the 90s through the girls and reminiscing about my own youth.

The game also utilizes the features of the DualSense controller. When Indy punches Nazis, you can feel the haptic feedback, and thanks to the adaptive triggers, you can feel the pressure points when firing firearms.

The First Berserker: Khazan is a fantastic game for all Soulslike fans who appreciate challenging boss battles. Sekiro fans, in particular, should definitely check it out.

South of Midnight tells a interesting, dark story and scores with a unique stop motion style. The soundtrack matches the fun gameplay in some pretty magic worlds as well. Only a few technical issues tarnish the positive picture a little.

The developers of Nixxes and Iron Galaxy seem to have learned from the mistakes of the predecessor. This time, the PC port is in a much better technical state. Thanks to a very effective optimization, even players without the latest high-end graphics card can enjoy the game. Regardless of whether you are starting the second part for the first time or are a seasoned veteran: The Last of Us Part 2 is also a masterpiece on PC.

Karma is a story about philosophy, religion, and culture, about the essence of humanity. Finally, I'd like to leave you with something unrelated to the game itself, but something you should return to after experiencing it for yourself. There's a lot to be said for the name of the studio behind Karma, Pollard Studios. Pollarding means cutting down or pruning trees so they grow back better, stronger, and denser. Perhaps things must first be destroyed before they can heal.

Atomfall is a thoroughly solid survival shooter that shines brightest between the lines. It has tons of mysteries to unravel thanks to its non-linear, hands-off mission structure and makes you feel clever when you’ve explored enough to piece it all together. The secrets at the heart of it all are far from new if you’ve played Stalker or Fallout before and the easily exploited enemy AI makes combat largely uninteresting, but this is still an entertaining and very British nuclear romp that’s well worth a playthrough or two.

Assassin's Creed Shadows takes you to a Japan with an atmospheric game world, well-made gameplay and great attention to details, but also reveals significant weaknesses in the narrative and quest design.

The bottom line is that Assassin's Creed Shadows is not a bad game, but unfortunately it is not really outstanding either. I had more fun with Naoe and Yaskue in feudal Japan than I had with Eivor in England back then. But it doesn't come close to Kassandra's adventure in Greece, for example. The design weaknesses mentioned are too obvious for that. Here, the game unfortunately wastes a lot of potential. And yet I will keep my adventure in Shadows in good memory.

HD remakes of two of the best role-playing games of the PlayStation era, created with great care, passion and respect. Clearly the best way to catch up on the memorable originals and get back at Luca Blight. It's just a shame that you have to buy the two games as a package and can't buy them individually digitally.

Hazelight has done it again! Split Fiction is an absolute masterclass and a big contender for Game of the Year. The gameplay variety in the coop adventure tops even the amazing It Takes Two and the story delivers as well. Graphics, audio and gameplay fit together perfectly, and it will be hard to push Split Fiction from the throne.

Split Fiction is a declaration of love to the world of video games and I am happy to play it together with my friends. It will be a big contender for Game of the Year.

Two Point Studios once again manages to strike a balance between fun, sophistication and accessibility: Two Point Museum is a time-consuming build and boasts humor, handling and versatility.

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

A great pirate adventure that - despite some weaknesses - shows the competition how to do it right.

Accessible action RPG with lots of exploration, charming characters and stylish levels. However, it's not good enough for the upper class - and they seem to be fine with it.
