    It's a good port for a fantastic game - people who have played it might not be tempted to double dip in the Switch version, but first-timers with only the Nintendo Switch at their disposal will find this port highly enjoyable.

    Despite its very rough start thanks to the small but meaningful updates we've received since its launch, the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 manages to deliver the goods. This is one of the best and most enjoyable PlayStation games in years, and if you haven't had the chance to try it yet and your spider senses are tickling, now is a great opportunity to do so.

    Steep is the best snowboarding / skiing / extreme game you will find out there. Ubisoft managed to re-invent this gaming genre just like EA Black-Box did with the Skate franchise. Ubisoft understood that there is much more in these games than crazy combos and impossible tricks, and there is an audience who is looking for a more realistic experience.

    Dune: Awakening initially felt like generic survival fare but surprised with its authentic recreation of Herbert's universe in an alternate timeline where Paul Atreides never existed. The game excels at polishing familiar survival-crafting mechanics within the rich Dune lore, featuring dynamic world changes, player politics, and meaningful resource scarcity where water truly matters. While hampered by restrictive inventory management and limited progression for non-PvP players, it succeeds as an immersive licensed experience rather than a genre innovator.

    Fun, smart but definitely too short - Pepper Grinder is another prime example of how innovative and fun the indie gaming community is. A project that first surfaced in 2017, because one of the most fun games of 2024 - I just wished it had more levels.

    Final Fantasy XV is not the game Square Enix promised us. It’s not an open world game that everyone would enjoy, and even though it looks like they have done a great deal in making it more accessible to newcomers, it has more improving to do. If you are a die-hard Final Fantasy fan, you will have a great time thanks to a beautiful world, easy to learn and fun combat mechanics and a classic story about friendship and love.

    There's a lot to love in this expandalone, with many hours of fun shootouts, crime solving and cheesy one-liners

    Square Enix's decision to separate the game into several episodes and market the game as a “Season” may interrupt with the storytelling of the game, but it also takes the game back to its roots, putting you in a sandbox full of opportunities and choices. Not all of the episodes are on par with each other and the “Opportunities” helping method makes the game feel a bit too easy and straight forward. But other than that, the game is a great addition to the series and fans of the series (especially “Blood Money” fans) would love it.

    Horizon: Call of the Mountain is the most beautiful game available for VR these days. It brings some great new elements but could've leveled up a bit better in other game aspects.

    Meetup at Bellabel is a fantastic expansion to an otherwise fantastic game, the problems present tehmselves when some of the content is unavailable at all if you don't have friends to play co-op levels with or worse, have only one Switch console to play with.

    Hellblade 2 Sinua's Saga truly feels like a next-generation experience with graphics and design that leap off the screen. The combination of a fully cinematic experience and a well-crafted world fits perfectly into the game, creating a vibrant world with a decent story based on Norse mythology. However, the game mechanics are its weakest point, with very simple and easy-to-master combat and puzzle elements. I was hoping for the same epic boss battles as we saw in the first game, but unfortunately, they never materialized. Nonetheless, the fights are much more cinematic, with Instagram-worthy moments scattered throughout the game.

    Destiny 2 is a good game; the only problem is that it never goes beyond that title. I had a very positive experience with the game: The gameplay is still awesome, the planets look a lot bigger and prettier, the loot system is great and the missions during the end game are fantastic, but the lackluster story mode, boring side missions and use of microtransactions hold it back just a bit.

    As a remaster of an iconic game, Age of Mythology: Retold is a great experience that most of the time manages to be a pretty decent improved version of the original it's based on.

    The only thing that keeps this game from becoming one of the best Character Action games ever made and a must buy for fans of the genre is funnily enough, the Nintendo Switch itself - The console and company that gave it life in the first place. Great level design and very fun ideas are being held back by mediocre graphics and an unstable framerate.

    Star Wars Squadrons managed to surpass my expectations, it’s not a perfect game but it gets the job done. I don’t feel entitled to praise EA for not including micro transactions, but I want to believe it means they’ve learned their lesson. They saw an opportunity and took it and I hope they can add more to it.

    High on life isn't here to change your game of the year or to make history. It knows is place as a great send off to a great year and does this job phenomenally. While it's fun combat lacks the diversity the rest of the game has, the humor, fantastic level design and surprisingly good plot will make you leave with a big smile.

    Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition keeps its original charm and is only improving on it with better graphics, more characters and voice lines.

    AI Limit is a cool Souls Like anime experience, not one that is very unique, but if you like games like Code Vein, this one might just land in a comfortable spot for you.

    Don't get it twisted - Wild Hearts is, by all means, a Monster Hunter clone. But dare I say it - it's one of the best ones. Some faults are mitigated by excellent combat and the incredible Karakuri mechanic.

    While not the best one in the series, Super Mario Party is one of the best Mario Party games of the past few years with great mini-games and extra modes to its name.

    Gravity Rush 2 feels like a true sequel to the original game. Kat feels and looks amazing, the world she lives in is astounding and the OST and sound design really give this game an anime movie look. The game looks like it would've benefited from a higher frame rate, and the stealth missions do feel dull, but overall it's a good game and a great addition to your PS4 library.

    Any RTS fan and a WWII history enthusiast would feel right at home with Company of Heroes 3. The African Campaign is its weakest point, but when the rest of the game is such a joy to play - it's something we can live with.

    Elden Ring: Nightreign is a fascinating, albeit uneven, experiment. While its fast-paced, pure gameplay moments are some of FromSoftware's best, these highs are often undercut by puzzling decisions, including an overly random progression system and the baffling omission of multiplayer. Despite offering an addictive and challenging twist on the familiar formula, impressively translating the atmosphere and world of Elden Ring into a new format, the unpolished roguelike elements and lack of a multiplayer support prevent it from reaching the heights of its predecessor. Ultimately, it's a must-play for dedicated fans seeking a new and distinct challenge, yet it might not be the ideal entry point for newcomers to the Lands Between.

    L.A Noire has remained a great action-adventure game and a strong detective thriller, filled with great cases, investigations and interrogations. The new graphics look better, though the difference is not very significant. The city of angels is alive and vibrant but barely includes any extra content. If you played L.A Noire sometime in the last few years, you would probably want to grab it for a better playthrough. If you haven't played L.A Noire at all, it would be a crime to miss it out.

    Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood expantion offers more of the same, but that's not a bad thing. Elder Scrolls Onlinehas a pretty decent formula and Blackwood is a decent extent of the core game. Companions are the best supplement for the game, that reminds me of Bioware's golden era. The random portals that force exploration and drive you sideways are solid. I wish the quest line would be less predictable and the fights would be harder to beat. But all in all this is a great DLC to own.

    Even if the differences between FIFA 20 and FIFA 21 aren't that substantial, FIFA 21 is exactly what it needs to be: That fun football game that you fire up after a long day at work, crack open a beer and play with your buddies at home. And it does that triumphantly.

    Dreams by Media Molecule is a part game, part social media platform, part game design engine. The world of Dreams is infinite. The mini-games, built by ordinary people like you and me, can go from a fun indie experience to an almost full length game with a solid synopsis, creative gameplay and relatable characters. But the create mode of Dreams, where you're supposed to be building your own game and let your creativity shine, is not as intuitive as expected. Tutorials feel endless and tiring and the user interface isn't friendly and takes a lot of time to master, or be mildly controlled. Dreams lets you build your game - but doesn't promise you a fun experience while doing it.

    Firaxis is finally coming out of their comfort zone. I know - it's also a turn-based strategy game, what they are known for in the last few decades - but with added systems like the card games, some RPG elements and the friendship system, are adding more spice to the already perfected formula.

    Kirby Star Allies is a fun little game with a lot of interesting characters, amazing new powers, great gameplay and an old-new mechanic that keeps players guessing and makes it a fun party game. Those of you who want a challenge might want to look elsewhere but those of you who are looking for fun should definitely check this game out.

    Black Ops Cold War is a good game, no question about it, but it's also a warning shot for Activision in regards to the Call of Duty franchise. The story campaign of this game was lackluster way too often and the multiplayer aspect of the game will probably be overshadowed by the more popular Warzone. The next game in the series needs to do something drastically different.
