    The main quest is everything it should be, but unfortunately most of the side content isn’t nearly as interesting. Add to this a shocking amount of bugs, stupid AI, loads of performance issues… and you’ll understand why Cyberpunk 2077 is a contender for ‘disappointment of the year’.

    This game offers a refreshing adventure within the Ubisoft repertoire and although it lends several elements of other titles, in this setting and combination it feels good and in a certain sense innovative. The gameplay offers plenty of variety, graphically it is beautiful and there is plenty to experience. Only the DualSense implementation is more annoying than useful and Fenyx tends to continuously climb up everywhere, which can be a bit frustrating. But these are no points to ignore the game, the adventure is more than worth it.

    A worthy attempt at making a theme parc simulator work on consoles, Planet Coaster will keep you playing for a long time to come. At times you can get dragged down by unnecessary details, though... and the voice-acting isn’t particularly convincing.

    A surprisingly strong story carries you through this colourful adventure, that constantly manages to find new ways to keep the act of catching Bugsnax interesting. The graphics are a bit disappointing, though... but did that ever stop anyone from having a good time?

    A considerable improvement over the PS4 version, with stellar graphics and loads of new additions. There are still a lot of microtransactions, though... so you should be aware of that.

    The ultimate version of an already fantastic game, the special edition of Devil May Cry 5 looks great, sounds great and - you guessed it - plays pretty damn great as well. Adding Vergil as a playable character is the icing on this delicious cake. A true must-buy.

    Melody of Memory is a true love letter to the Kingdom Hearts series. Fans will adore the numerous callbacks to older titles in the franchise; newcomers won’t fully get what’s so special about it. This is worth taking into consideration.

    Competently made and sufficiently addictive, Godfall suffers from a lacklustre story and an overall repetitive nature.

    Lovingly remade and adapted to our day and age, this classic title is a must-buy for every PS5-owner. It still feels a bit dated, at times... but don’t let that spoil your fun.

    Proof that some classics should remain in the past... The story still works and the soundtrack’s awesome, but everything else is a disaster. Clunky controls, stupid AI, a shitload of bugs and glitches... The list of complaints is almost never-ending.

    The beautiful worlds are a joy to walk through and the DualSense implementation is a lot of fun. The game gets repetitive, though... and the camera doesn’t always work as well as it should.

    A fleshed out story to keep you playing and gameplay depth that will have you coming back over and over again... What more can you want from a game? Yakuza: Like A Dragon is a breath of the freshest air; a new beginning that leaves us desperately begging for more.

    The newest Call of Duty delivers a fun adventure, filled to the brim with espionage and explosive action. It's very enjoyable - as Call of Duty always is - yet rather short. If we talk about the multiplayer, it feels very compact for now, a bit to compact with just a few modes and maps. But the maps are varied enough to entertain you for a while and Fireteam: Dirty Bomb is a fun addition. So, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a fine game, but that being said... it feels in a way like a little step back from Modern Warfare.

    Lots of story elements and a varied mission design make for a worthy follow-up to Odyssey. Valhalla plays well, doesn't solely rely on grinding to pad out its runtime and offers a world that's genuinely amazing to look at. It ain't particularly innovative, though... feeling more like another entry in a franchise that's slowly heading towards a creative standstill.

    Absolutely stunning to look at and amazingly fun to play, Miles Morales is kind of an improvement over its already great predecessor. The side quests are still repetitive though and the game’s a bit too brief to justify its price tag.

    A tribute to PlayStation’s long and colourful history, Astro’s Playroom is the ideal way to become familiar with Sony’s brand-new console and all of its features. Mediocre graphics notwithstanding, it also feels like a fully-fledged game worthy of a price tag.

    A wonderful arcade experience, that offers a lot of variation and fun, though not necessarily innovation. The career mode’s lack of progression is DiRT 5’s main drawback, but besides that we can recommend it to anyone who enjoys arcade racers.

    With a more engaging cast of characters and an intriguing mystery at its core - leading to an insane mindfuck of an ending! - Little Hope is a definite improvement over its predecessor and hopefully a sign of even better things to come.

    Monster Truck racing isn't a crowded genre on today's console market, so there's still a lot of fun to be had driving these behemoths around. On top of that, Monster Truck Championship has quite a lot to offer in terms of content. There's room for improvement though, mostly in the way the game presents itself. Still, if you're interested in monster trucks, this might just be the ideal game for you.

    The game introduces the recruitment system, which is an interesting addition as it brings more diversity to the gameplay. At the same time, the missions involved are repetitive and Ubisoft uses a bit of the same blueprint in terms of gameplay structure. So, apart from new hack features and the recruitment system, do not expect any particular innovations. A solid game, but it is not the ultimate autumn title either.

    G.I. Joe is faithful to its source of inspiration, with a great cast of characters and locations, as well as an overall atmosphere worthy of the brand name. Everything else, though, breathes mediocrity, from the lacklustre AI to the overly simple level design. Shame, cause there's a lot of potential in this license.

    RIDE 4's excellent sense of realism offers a pleasant experience to anyone with a passion for motor racing. There's quite a bit of content here too, with a diverse set of customization features that will keep you tinkering for a long time. Some hiccups do occur though, chief amongst them a rather unconvincing career mode.

    FIFA 21 offers a couple of improvements, though they're all fairly subtle and/or unremarkable. When you come right down to it, it's basically FIFA 20 all over again, with an even bigger focus on microtransactions. This franchise is in desperate need of some steam, cause it's about to run out with a vengeance.

    The game clearly focuses on multiplayer; but strikingly, its singleplayer mode has a lot more to offer. Having said that, Star Wars: Squadrons is quite the stellar VR experience, a must-have for Star Wars and flying game fans alike.

    If you loved the old Crash Bandicoot titles, you'll have a blast with this one. Detailed, challenging levels; recognisable, yet innovative gameplay... this game has it all. The annoying camera may lead to some frustration at times, but don't let that stop you from diving headfirst into Crash' new adventures. It's about time? Damn right!

    There's quite a lot of content here, though just one out of four Grand Slam titles is hard to swallow. As you start playing, however, you'll find that there's a lot more wrong with this game. The clunky controls never give you the feeling that you're actually in control of what you're doing, while the severely mediocre graphics are only passable from a distance. Shame.

    A complex, though highly intriguing and wonderfully told story with great graphics... that's what you get if you buy 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Which you absolutely should.

    If you're looking for innovation, you'll find yourself in the wrong place. If you want more of the same, however, you can't go wrong with WRC 9. Be careful though... there's enough bugs and crashes here to at times ruin the experience a bit.

    Not bad, especially as far as the story is concerned. A good concept, but it isn't enough on its own and No Straight Roads falters a bit in its execution. Dumb AI is the main culprit, but the fact that the actions on screen aren't always synchronized well with your input certainly doesn't help matters.

    There's an enjoyable and often downright hilarious story here, that's strengthened by deep gameplay. However, most of the time you'll find yourself staring at loading times, becoming frustrated with the game's unstable framerate, or feeling baffled because of the amount of input lag on display.
