Building bridges isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind when you're thinking about Portal, yet here we are and what do you know? It's actually a lot of fun. It's tough to justify the frequent framerate drops though.

There's really not much to complain about here. The AI isn't perfect, but other than that, Age of Empires IV is a return to the old glory of the franchise, with deep and challenging gameplay that will keep you playing for a really long time.

Well, there's definitely some progress. The game is more beautiful than its predecessor, online play has been improved and it's finally possible to create your own deck. It's not all silver and gold, though. There's a lot of screentearing and for reasons unknown it's impossible to trade cards with your friends. If you're no grouch, however, you should be able to look over this and enjoy this game.

Subtle improvements and a batch of new features keep Blazblue on track, though its graphics are in dire need of an upgrade.

The sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is here and Respawn Entertainment does it again. Delivering an excellent Star Wars game that feels grander than its predecessor. This is in the locations you visit, but also the greater variety of gameplay and all that goes with it. Technically, however, it is not optimal yet with the necessary pop-in and the somewhat shaky frame rate in performance mode. Apart from that, the game is simply highly recommended.

A more-than-decent sequel that aptly addresses the criticism the first game received. We could've done without the framedrops, however.

It's a bit too easy, but still... Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl is a wonderful reissue of a set of classic games, with lots of visual improvements and an admirable loyalty to the original titles. Worth your money.

Ace Combat 7 is a return to form for the franchise. The main campaign is varied and provides a lot of entertainment even if the story is a little stale. Visually this game will blow you away and if you also own a VR headset you’re in for an absolute treat. Multiplayer is a bit boring and the archaic checkpoint mechanism feels like it’s a decade old but overall, Ace combat 7 hits it right out of the park. Highly recommended.

Destiny: The Taken King is what Destiny should have been when it was launched a year ago. 'Nough said.

Technically, this isn't a marvel, though as a closing chapter to this wonderful series, it delivers where it counts.

A great ending to a remarkable series, even if Telltale keeps a close eye on the already announced second season by not actually resolving anything.

Surviving the journey from PC to console by means of some truly ingenious controls, Divinity: Original Sin impresses on almost every level. Genre fans shouldn't hesitate.

The classic beat 'em up title is back, this time as a complete package. The oldschool gameplay still works wonders. Newcomers will definitely want to give it a try, while the addition of extra characters will undoubtedly draw old fans back into the fold.

If you've played the previous episodes, buying this one should be a no-brainer. If you haven't, then what are you waiting for? This series is more than worth every dollar you spend on it.

A wonderful fighting game that is very challenging and, in return, very satisfying when the fighting system is understood. Sifu brings together several interesting elements and that works out well. All this wrapped up in a nice artistic style with matching audio makes it a delight. But it does if you look past the poor voice-acting and the generic story. Not really points to worry about if you go purely by the excellent gameplay.

Hitman is back and we couldn't be happier. The lack of a competitive mutiplayer is regrettable because of the high gameplay potential, but overall this is a great continuation of 2006's Blood Money with improvements all over the board. Welcome back, Agent 47. We sure as hell missed you.

A must play has appeared with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2. This game offers an exciting and engaging campaign, with Operations being a valuable cooperative addition. Then you also have an excellent multiplayer, with everything wrapped up with a nice audiovisual jacket. One drawback is that the performance is not yet optimal and there is some lag online, but when that is fixed there is no reason to pass up this game.

If not for some graphical and framerate issues, Batman: Return to Arkham would be one of the best remasters out there.

Wonderfully old-school, brutally intense and surprisingly interesting as far as the story goes... Wolfenstein aficionados and shooter fans in general will definitely enjoy this.

Fall of Cybertron surpasses its predecessor in almost every way and is therefore the best Transformers game on the market. It's got its fair share of problems though: disappointingly bad textures, online connection problems and some annoying glitches and freezes somewhat spoil the fun.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership resurrects a long-dead franchise from the grave, and we’re so glad Nintendo decided to give this series another chance. It’s a great game, although our biggest gripe can be summed up as ‘…but it takes a while to get really good’. The story starts off a bit shaky, but gets a lot better after a certain point. The islands are very unique and the level design is great, but the early islands are a bit small and limited compared to the later locations. The combat is also incredibly addictive, although you’ll have to wait a while before you unlock the most fun and in-depth features. Don’t let that spoil your fun, though, because Mario & Luigi: Brothership is definitely worth the time, for both newcomers and old fans. One tip: make sure you’re ready to fire your cannon in time when you sail past an island, because having to wait for your ‘Sail Island’ to sail an extra lap before you can fire again is quite annoying.

Well, this reissue is a definite improvement when compared to its original version. The definite edition of DmC looks better, adds a welcome lock-on function and kicks up the frame rate to 60 frames per second, which takes this action game to a whole other level. Some rough textures and annoying platform sections keep it from reaching the absolute top, though.

An interesting story with well-developed characters and expert enemy design, that - however - does take a while to really get going. On top of that, not every sidequest is worth your attention. Don't let that stop you, though. Scarlet Nexus is a great game.

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.

Kratos hits it out of the park once more, only this time he shows that greatness may rest in the palm of your hands.

Evil Dead: The Game is a tribute to the franchise that is very good in many ways. It is visually stunning, the audio is excellent, the gameplay is addictive and the whole thing is worked out to perfection. However, the balance could be better and despite the size of the game, the two maps feel a little sparse. Furthermore, the game has some minor flaws, but nothing big to worry about. Recommended.

The return of this classic title offers you another chance to catch up if you haven't tried it before. It's even more accessible this time, thanks to the option to play with the gamepad. Nintendo has also made some quality of life improvements, which make this the ultimate edition of the game. Some annoyances still exist though, chief amongst them a slow start and imperfect controls.
