A new year, a new F1 game. This one boosts an elaborate story mode, that's somehow both clichéd and very much worth experiencing. On top of that, F1 2021 also has a number of significant improvements over its predecessor. There's still some clumsy animations, though, so take that into account.

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.

If you can overlook the long waiting times when trying to connect to online servers, Guilty Gear - Strive is the place to be for any fighter fan. It's a truly amazing experience, both on- and offline, with an interesting story and wonderful graphics to boot. Absolutely worth your money.

Same shit, different day. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 has its moments, at times turning into an enjoyable shooter with wonderful graphics - as long as you're playing on PS5, that is. Inconsistent AI and frustrating scenarios however - as well as resolution and framerate issues; if you're on PS4 - ultimately drag down the experience into severe mediocrity.

As accessible as it is addictive, Knockout City is a pleasant surprise. The surprisingly deep gameplay will keep you playing for a long time, even if the lack of variety might at times put a bit of a damper on the proceedings.

Biomutant tries to do a lot of interesting things. It offers a potentially captivating world and unique crafting mechanics. Even the combat's fine, on the surface. The game, however, doesn't exactly play well, with clumsy controls, repetitive missions and an overemphasis on drawn-out dialogue that bores instead of inspires. This really could (and should) have been a lot better than it is.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a delightful platformer that pays homage to the series with fantastic gameplay and, at times, eye-poppingly beautiful graphics. It is an excellent and worthwhile game, but it still suffers from bugs and crashes. In addition, the visual quality is a bit inconsistent per planet, which makes the game a bit lacking. This is a pity, but it does not change the fact that this is a title worth playing. Put it in the “very good, but not perfect” category.

The eighth main entry in Capcom's long-running series isn't perfect due to some graphical imperfections and a lack of weight in the guns you start out with. However, we dare anyone to genuinely care when the rest of the game is this great. Resident Evil celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary in style, with an always beautiful, often scary, regularly exhilarating and surprisingly emotional adventure. Worth every single penny.

MotoGP 21 is a fine racing game, that surpasses its predecessor in a couple of subtle ways. However, that's not enough to truly set this game apart from the competition. Its content is rather limited, the AI still makes odd decisions and collisions just don't feel like... well, collisions. Milestone's on the right path, but it hasn't quite reached its destination yet.

Housemarque's first triple A game does just about everything right, with an intriguing story and wonderful world that's begging to be explored. Add some truly memorable boss encounters to the mix and you won't be surprised to realize that Returnal may just be the PlayStation 5's first genuine must have.

A modernized update of classic gameplay, Oddworld Soulstorm should've been a homerun. Technical issues and annoying checkpoint placement, however, keep the game firmly stuck at second base.

Outriders' best quality is its addictive gameplay. Add to this an admirable amount of options and you'll find yourself constantly coming back for more. Unfortunately, there are some downsides here as well. The story isn't all that interesting, the levels start to look the same after a while and the enemy AI doesn't complement the game's cover system. Still, while you're playing Outriders, you're bound to have some fun.

Balan Wonderworld offers a great story, accompanied by an absolutely wonderful soundtrack. That's about all it offers, though. In the end, mediocre graphics and rough gameplay make for a rather disappointing package.

This classic horror experience turns out to be even more immersive - and intense - in virtual reality. Beware though, at times the image quality can be rather blurry.

It Takes Two is one of the best co-op games we've ever played. The creativity is splashing and the adventure is incredibly entertaining thanks to the mix of all kinds of elements, locations and situations. It plays wonderfully and the variation in environments does the game well as it provides a good surprise effect, and does so time and time again. The presentation is also sublime with razor-sharp graphics that are incredibly colorful and that is complemented by a wonderful soundtrack that connects seamlessly with everything.

Racing Monster Trucks is a lot of fun, as long as you don't mind the fact that every truck feels exactly the same way. That's not the worst thing in the world, though - especially if you consider the meaty career mode and enjoyable online modes the game has on offer.

The atmosphere is the main draw here, in part thanks to an excellent soundtrack. The gameplay is fun as well, if a bit easy and superficial. Overall, a fun adventure that's worth a try.

Bigger, deeper and overall better than its predecessor, We Were Here Together is an excellent, highly challenging and very enjoyable co-op experience.

Solving puzzles in pairs is a lot of fun, especially if it happens in an atmospheric and challenging environment. The time limits are often a bit frustrating, though; as are the less than optimal checkpoint placements. Overall, a pretty decent co-op game.

Little Nightmares II is the right kind of sequel. It takes the concept and wonderfully creepy atmosphere of the original and expands upon them, in all kinds of unexpected (and often downright disturbing) ways. Frustratingly, however, the gameplay still leans an awful lot on trial-and-error.

Persona 5 fans will enjoy every second of this, though they'll probably miss the life-sim aspects that made the original game stand out. It's still very much worth your while, though.

Remarkably fluent gameplay and an enjoyable B-film atmosphere make Werewolf: The Apocalypse absolutely worth playing. There are some drawbacks though, chief among which the boring stealth levels and an annoying camera.

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.

The MXGP franchise continues its trip towards the top, with great visuals and a refreshing lack of long loading times. The DualSense offers a nice amount of feedback during races, making it easier for gamers to immerse themselves into the experience. However, the inconsistent reset system and overall lack of content keep MXGP 2020 from reaching the lofty heights it aims for.

A great ending to the impressive World of Assassination trilogy, Hitman III offers impressive level design, lots of options and a VR-mode that's very much worth playing. There are some small technical issues, but they're nowhere near prominent enough to hamper your enjoyment.

Dontnod is known for its engaging storytelling and interesting gameplay mechanics. Twin Mirror succeeds in the former, though we could’ve done with a less predictable ending. The gameplay, however, isn’t exactly as good as we’ve come to expect from this developer. Somehow, everything feels rather limited, due to your choices not having much influence. Shame, cause in the end the story remains worth experiencing.

Great concept, horrible execution – that’s the long and short of it. Repetitive levels, gameplay depending on chance over skill, bugs that regularly force you to reload old save files… Empire of Sin just isn’t very good.

Despite simple puzzles and less than convincing stealth segments, The Pathless delivers a sensational adrenaline rush with its core gameplay. It runs like a dream and looks the part too. Definitely worth checking out.
