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.

Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered is a game for those who are nostalgic and who are not put off by the peculiarities of these old games. It is unlikely to win over any new fans with it’s clunky controls and outdated game design. The problem this time around is that the originals, at least 5 and 6, weren't great games to begin with. The flaws that caused the mixed to poor ratings at the time are, of course, still present in these remastered versions.

A simulation about paramedics is a great idea. The job is exciting and important. Unfortunately, Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator has a lot of bugs, graphic issues and since the Day 1 Patch also in terms of content some problems. The gameplay isn’t that bad, but overall a lot of potential gets wasted.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 tweaks all the right rough edges of its predecessor without losing any of its character. The result is a fantastic role-playing game in which you can lose yourself for hours.

The bold new direction has paid off and Civ 7 brings a lot of dynamic and flexibility to the tried and tested game concept. However, traditionalists may be put off. Civ 7 also lacks the final touches for release.

Oh, Sniper Elite, what are you doing to me? I would love to like you a lot more, but so much more is possible!

Technically and graphically, the PC version even goes one step further than the original. New features such as support for up to 120 FPS, customized lighting and improved light rendering make Rebirth shine even more beautifully than before. Provided you have a powerful PC with an even stronger graphics card that can withstand the demands. In our test with an AMD Ryzen 9 processor with 32 GB RAM and a GeForce RTX 3090, we had a few small stutters with the "Medium" graphics preset at a resolution of 1080p, especially in the video sequences, even though both the CPU and GPU were above the data recommended by Square Enix.

The best version of Donkey Kong Country Returns: An indestructibly good 2D platformer, but still with a high potential for frustration. Graphically, not much has changed, and the price seems too high.

Marvel Rivals is a successful free-to-play action game that gets the most out of the strong license. If the live service is right, it could become a new force in the hero shooter genre alongside Overwatch and others.

Machine Games treats the iconic character with love and care, making it by far the best Indiana Jones game since Fate of Atlantis.

The Great Circle is not your average action-adventure game, but a true Indy experience through and through. It does have its shortcomings and the story sometimes goes a little off the rails, but none of that should stop true fans of enjoying the hell out ouf it.

Accessible real-time strategy with stunning graphics and wasted potential. There was more potential!

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.

With an impeccable atmosphere and thrilling gameplay, Stalker 2 has what it takes to be an incredible, immersive experience. One day and many, many patches later, I’m convinced the developers will have hammered it into shape, but the game that I played over the last 40 hours felt rushed and unfinished.

If you prefer to travel solo and enjoy an immersive world, you'll have a lot of fun here.

With this remake, Square Enix breathes new life into the beginning of the Erdrick-Trilogy. Where our imagination had to do its part in the original, now the games breathtaking visuals leave us stunned. Whether you are a complete Dragon Quest newbie or an accomplished hero of past adventures, we can wholeheartedly recommend the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake to any fan of an amazing JRPG experience.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a fun experience with a feel-good atmosphere for young and old - even together thanks to the co-op mode! I played the game first and foremost as a Horizon fan who was never averse to LEGO humor. In this respect, I was not disappointed. It just could have been a bit longer, because 70 euros for a 10-hour game is pretty steep.

The LWS 25 does a lot right and expands a proven game concept with useful innovations. Fans get their money's worth.

Planet Coaster 2 could be a first-class theme park simulator, but it still needs some fine-tuning. Menu navigation and handling contrast with the fun park building, the great creative options and the pretty presentation.
