Hell is Us isn't a one-size-fits-all game, and that's precisely what makes it so powerful. Rogue Factor clearly poured a lot of love into its production. The game relies on you to take the time to explore, solve puzzles, and find your way, sometimes leading you to get lost in the beautiful environments, each with its own unique story. The combination of mystery and unknowing, the unique environments, an interesting combat system, and the immersive audiovisual experience give the game its unique character. While a bit more variety in weapons and enemies wouldn't have hurt, these elements more than compensate. Combined with a relatively reasonable price tag, Hell is Us delivers an unforgettable experience that's both challenging and memorable, provided the game's premise appeals to you. A clear recommendation.

This game takes us back to the early days of the mafia, set in Sicily. You can expect a nice adventure full of action and excitement, but at the same time, it's all rather predictable. The large number of knife fights that serve as the standard climax to a boss battle also feel rather trite. It is a technically excellent game with good and engaging gameplay, but at the same time, it is not groundbreaking in any way. Hangar 13 plays it very safe, so if you are familiar with the franchise (especially the first part), you know what to expect.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers offers a compelling story with deep lore, although it does take a while to get going. Nevertheless, the game has plenty to offer in terms of combat, level design, challenge, and interesting systems to keep the gameplay varied. Technically, it falls a little short due to low resolutions and inconsistent textures, but ultimately that doesn't detract from the pure gameplay, which is more than solid.

The gameplay of Killing Floor 3 is perfectly fine with above-average combat. In addition, the range of maps and weapons is also very varied, which adds to the fun, and the soundtrack deserves a special mention as it fits perfectly. However, we cannot ignore the fact that in terms of content, it is still a bit thin at the moment, and the story also lacks depth. Finally, the performance could be improved. So there are a few points of criticism to take into account. However, the history of this developer with previous games teaches us that it will ultimately be rectified.

Just like in the original, the action is incredibly satisfying, and the addition of new enemies adds a little more variety to the adventure. This adventure is standalone and definitely worth playing if you enjoyed the original game. At the same time, it is still not technically stable, and because of the OmniTower setting, it is a lot grimmer and at times a bit more boring to watch. Nevertheless, it is a solid and fun shooter.

Donkey Kong is getting his own 3D action-adventure, and it turns out great. The level destruction feels satisfying, the stages are varied, the presentation is vibrant and colorful, and there’s an incredible amount to do. The fact that the game might be a bit on the easy side is a shame in terms of challenge, but that’s literally the only point of criticism. Looking for an excellent game for the Nintendo Switch 2? Then Donkey Kong Bananza is an absolute must-play.

Did you enjoy the original games? Then this is definitely recommended thanks to the nostalgia it brings. The visual upgrade does the game justice, the gameplay is delightful as ever and there is once again a huge amount to experience, thanks in part to a number of new levels. It's a shame, though, that the original soundtrack has been changed except for a few tracks, which may feel a bit weird for players of the original. But we can live with that, considering the rest of the game is more than fine.

With the second installment, Kojima builds on the basics of the original, but also manages to surprise with a rock-solid story, memorable characters, a beautiful game world, lots of features and so on. It's Kojima all over again, resulting in a brilliant game that's absolutely worth playing, with the note that the combat feels a bit uncomfortable, but that's okay considering the overall quality is top notch.

The game comes with an immense amount of content and fine gameplay that will keep you playing. In the process, the performance is excellent which ensures an optimal gaming experience. Lover of the franchise and plenty of diversity in activities? Then this game is just right for you, although don't expect too much from the story. Also, the camera is sometimes a bit annoying, but you can live with that since the rest of the game is more than fine.

A cooperative multiplayer game in the Elden Ring universe, something new for FromSoftware and it's panning out well. The game has a high addiction factor due to its interesting gameplay loop, the bosses are fantastic and the interplay with different characters makes for an engaging gameplay dynamic. Take note, however, that the frame rate is not stable and if you are a solo player, the game feels different given its focus on co-op. Nevertheless, Elden Ring: Nightreign feels like a fresh new breath of fresh air in a familiar universe that we can recommend to any player of the original.

Mario Kart is back with a brand new installment that basically offers more of the same, supplemented with all sorts of new elements. The Knockout Tour is wonderfully chaotic, the large roster of characters and karts is fantastic, the multiplayer is top notch entertainment, and there is a large world that you can freely traverse to explore. Too bad that that world is so big that it's a bit barren in terms of activities, and it's also a missed opportunity that you can't free-roam in multiplayer in a normal way, but other than that Mario Kart World is a fantastic game that we can recommend to every Switch 2 owner.

The new MotoGP is again just a little more accessible and graphically there is also a good step forward. On top of that, the AI also offers just a little more challenge, making the spectacle on the track look impressive. On the downside, the AI sometimes goes a bit too far and the content is mostly more of the same compared to previous years.

F1 25 makes several new steps forward. For example, you can drive tracks backwards and the application of LIDAR to scanning certain tracks makes for an even better experience. Graphically, the game also takes a step forward and Braking Point is back. In short, plenty of reason to recommend the game, although there are certainly areas for improvement.

The Doom Slayer is back in yet another violent and fast-paced adventure that stands out in the medieval setting. With new elements such as the shield and dragon, the game brings innovation that makes for a lot of fun. Also because the game is packed with content and technically excellent performance. The story on the other hand is not really special and in essence it is mostly more of the same, but don't let that stop you from playing the game.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is Sandfall Interactive's debut game, and what a debut! The engaging emotional story grabs you right away, the combat is delightful and the unique play styles for each character make it continuously interesting. Add to that a wonderful soundtrack and brilliant experience and it could hardly get any better. That there are some minor flaws we'll take for granted, because this game is definitely worth it.

The combat, gameplay structure and presentation appears very recognizable as it is in line with other games in the genre. The lack of variety in environments is a shame in this regard, but in return you get a strong visual style, engaging different fighting styles, exciting boss fights, strong audio and much more. Recommended.

Atomfall presents you with an engaging setting containing exciting situations and interesting gameplay. Because the game is non-linear in structure, the experience will be different for each player, which gives Atomfall a unique twist. Add to that good voice-acting and varied soundtrack and the complete adventure is very solid. Though you should expect some cumbersome combat, less-than-perfect stealth and some inconsistent stealth, that's no reason to skip the game though.

At last, the franchise travels to Japan, and with Assassin's Creed: Shadows, Ubisoft presents us with a captivating adventure that excels particularly because of its two playable characters. The gameplay is mostly more of the same, supplemented with some new elements that make it feel very familiar. At the same time, the pacing is not always great and side characters could have received more attention. Nevertheless, fans of the franchise will again be able to lose themselves completely in an adventure characterized by a beautiful world to explore and somewhat fresh gameplay.

With this new golf game, 2K Games takes the franchise to an even higher level. EvoSwing is a good gameplay element and it is fun to be able to create your own courses. More importantly, the entry level for beginners is fine, but it's also great for pros. Graphically it is a step forward and the MyCareer mode is also heading in the right direction. Although the game wants to crash sporadically, and adding gameplay improvements to the Premium Pass is a somewhat curious choice that somewhat encourages pay-to-win.

What Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio touches turns into success, because even a spin-off that is absurd on paper manages to be excellent again. The combat is fantastic, there is plenty to explore and the story manages to captivate, thanks in part to good humor. You really are a pirate and that is incredibly fun. In short, praise for this new game, but if we have to be critical: graphically it could be better and there are still some minor bugs in the combat, but do not let that stop you.

Build your own museum in Two Point Museum the way you are used to from Hospital and Campus. You can do this in sandbox mode, as well as a career mode, which teaches you the intricacies of the trade. The addition of expeditions adds depth and, as always, the learning curve is very pleasant. Moreover, the presentation is fine and it plays nicely, although the number of themes is somewhat limited and also the game has to deal with frame drops that can be a bit annoying.

Monster Hunter is back and manages to impress with its sophisticated gameplay, new and old monsters, implementation of Focus Strikes and good sound. The package also has plenty to offer in game hours, giving you a long run with or without friends. In that respect, exactly what you expect from Monster Hunter, but know that the performance is underwhelming and the interface could have been a lot more intuitive.

Avowed is a wonderfully accessible and relatively simple RPG, making the game truly for young and old alike. Audiovisually it is enjoyable and there is plenty to discover. The gameplay in itself is also very enjoyable, making the entire package impressive. However, the AI is a bit careless at times, which can lead to some crazy situations and dialogues can feel a bit two-dimensional, but with that said, Avowed is still a game to definitely give a try. Especially if you really appreciate this genre.

Hazelight does it again: delivering a brilliant co-op experience that is full of variety in environments and gameplay. The compelling story captivates from start to finish and the challenge is more than fine. If you enjoyed this developer's previous games, Split Fiction certainly won't disappoint. The overall package is more than fine, although it could have had just a little more interaction for that finishing touch. But that's just a minor detail.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 builds on the foundation of the original, delivering an excellent adventure. The world is gorgeous and inviting to explore, the characters are engaging, interesting and fun, with humor not shunned. In addition, the gameplay is incredibly deep, if a bit inconsistent at times. The performance is also not always stable, but these are blemishes on a whole that is otherwise well worth playing.

This new installment takes a step forward in gameplay, making it feel both familiar and fresh. Moreover, the game has been provided with enough depth, giving enthusiasts plenty to explore again without losing sight of newcomers thanks to accessibility. Audiovisually, it's also excellent, though the base game still feels a bit light in content, but that will be supplemented in time. In short, an excellent strategic game.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins breaks through that stagnation with a cracker of a game. By deviating from the old concept as a spin-off, the series is firmly back on track: the story is presented in a fun way, the gameplay is unparalleled, the technical quality is good and the game offers a lot of content. For fans of the PS2 parts, there is even a bit of nostalgia to be recognized. Koei Tecmo shows with this that Dynasty Warriors is far from finished and they also dare to innovate with the concept.

With an engaging story, interesting characters and entertaining turn-based gameplay, Fantasian: Neo Dimension certainly manages to be worthwhile. Moreover, it also looks impressive although the camera wants to be a bit annoying at times. In addition, not every side mission is equally interesting, but you can easily get over that when you consider what the overall package has to offer. Lover of JRPGs? Then you're in the right place with this title.
