    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 takes everything that made the first game special and fun and quadruples it. The campaign and co-op modes will guarantee you many hours of fun and replayability with countless ways to deal with challenges and abnormal amounts of enemies.

    While the game is still a classic and fun to play, the fact that players with HDD simply can't enjoy this game like the rest of their PC brethren, basically means that you either upgrade your PC, or won't enjoy this game.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a beautiful game for sure, but it's not just a pretty face to look at: It has engaging gameplay mechanics, great bosses and story and an amazing soundtrack to boot. Ember Labs has delivered us an amazing game and a great addition to the PS5 library.

    Nobody Saves the World is a masterclass in the gameplay perspective. It has a unique and clever way of making the rather overwhelming gameplay mechanics into something easy to understand and extremely fun. While it has a lackluster story, and a weird beginning and ending, the fascinating world succeed in making you forget those things, and keep playing with your knife throwing turtle or your fire breathing horse.

    Big Hops is the palete cleanser you need going into 2026 - with immpressive platforming inspired by Mario, a Veggie system that rewards creative thinking and adorable graphics and humor - This is the game you should kick off the year with.

    Soulcalibur VI has it's problems, but it's still a great return to form for the franchise and fine fighting game we'll probably see in next years EVO going full swing.

    Calling NieR Replicant the best "Remaster" I've played would be weird considering the fact that I haven't played the original. But, Yoko Taro managed to take a 10 year old game and bring it to current-gen consoled almost flawlessly, and that is all there is to say.

    Some might say that this is "another Mario Party game" but for me this is one of the best games I've played in recent years. The excellent gaming experience that Super Mario Party Jamboree provides is simply amazing, and if you like this style of games even a little, you are in for a simply wonderful experience.

    The PC Version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Is the ultimate version to experience the game with, deeming the PlayStation 5 Pro unnecessary, however, the game still suffers from some technical issues, especially if you are not on a high end PC.

    The game lost a bit of its original atmosphere by switching to a semi-open world gameplay style, but it gained so much more, making it an early contender for a game of the year award.

    The first episode of Life is Strange 2 looks very ambitious and promising. The change in the game's environment from urban to road-trip reflects its different but interesting story of survival and political drama and despite it's slow start, episode 1 includes all the small things that will probably make the entire season a big and unforgettable experience.

    The graphics are subpar for sure, but this doesn't detract from the fact that this is one of the best, but even bigger than that, one of the most important games the Pokemon franchise has ever seen. This is what you call a genre and series defining game. Gen 9 cannot go back to the old format after what we've seen with Legends Arceus.

    GRIME Isn't just exciting because it's a game made in my home country - it's exciting because it's simply a very good game. It manages to be hard and challenging without frustrating the player too much and it's level design and combat is good, albeit a bit hampered by technical issues.

    While the previous game was pretty straight forward with what you can do and what you came for, Valhalla is more of a work in progress. You have to put some work in order to get the most out of the game: Invest in your settlement, explore the right places, raid, raid, and raid. Valhalla tries to get the best of both worlds - the new RPG-like Assassin's Creed and the features from the original game. Sometimes it succeeds, but sometimes it fails. The plot is a classic Ubisoft plot, The side missions are way better than any other game in the series, and the combat feels realistic in a good way, once you get the hang of it. It's a must for an Assassin's Creed lover, and highly recommended for any other gamer.

    This won't get nominated to a Game of the Year award, but don't let it fool you like one of the card sharks in this game: This is one of the best, and most innovative games of 2022. It's a game that really reminds me why I love video games.

    MGS Delta: Snake Eater is clearly the best way to experience this classic masterpiece, even given the minor issues it includes. It is one of the best and most unique games of all time, which now received an update that continues to provide us with the quality and charm of the original combined with modern elements that make the experience even more accessible and enhanced.

    Fatal Frame 2 Crimson Butterfly is a fantastic remake, although it suffers from some jank like late tutorials and a bit dated combat system, it is one of the most captivating Japanese horror stories ever and it deserved a good remake, so more people can finally experience the horror of the crimson ritual.

    Nine Sols is one of those games that once you get into, you'll probably have a hard time stopping, and the reasons are understandable - the high-quality combat system alone manages to keep you in the thick of things, the boss battles provide a challenge that is one of the most satisfying things you can give yourself, and the exploration experience feels great and also provides an impressive level of content and things for you to experience during your adventure.

    After 7 years in what seems to be development hell, Team Ico finally introduces us to the majestic Trico and its heartfelt relationship with a young protagonist. While the long development cycle does show its age in certain parts up to a point of some frustration. The experience as a whole is one of the most unique ever.

    The Order of Giants favors a more linear, focused experience that provides the best of what the game has to offer. This is the most fun i had solving puzzles in a game this year, along with some of the best cinematic moments i witnessed ever.

    I know, I know - it ain't pretty, but looks aren't everything, and for what it's worth, this is an extremely solid port of an excellent game. Switch players should definitely give this one a try.

    The story can be a bit confusing, as is the structure of how it's played out, but this doesn't detract from the fact that this is probably the most fun I've had with a Ubisoft game and a Far Cry game in particular.

    A great comeback for the series, Streets of Rage 4 is a great game, with amazing gameplay and a killer soundtrack. It's a bit lacking in the extra content department, but what IS there, is great.

    Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a good spin off game, even if it is fairly negligible, if you want a fun Pirate experience, you may want to give this game a shot.

    Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is the best way to get into the game if you don't already own it, with amazing graphics, performance and next to no loading time. It lands all of its punches perfectly.

    Is it still repetitive and dated in some ways? Yes. Is it still charming, addictive, and fun? Heck yes. And with the new art style and improved soundtrack, this game, while not the best Pokemon game out there, still shines.

    If 2K22 was the series face turn, this year's game is its first major push, with more polished gameplay mechanics, great stories with the MyRise mode and a better MyGM mode. The Cena showcase could've been better, but the creation tool more than makes up for it.

    Gears Tactics manages to blend the Gears of War series with a genre that was a home for such a different kind of gameplay beautifully, though its shortcomings are apparent.

    With Watch Dogs: Legion, the series finally found it's niche: The gameplay clicks, the "Legion" concept works brilliantly with the main theme of Watch Dogs, and while it has it's issues (mainly in some repetitive missions and a slow start to the story), this is the best Watch Dogs game to date.

    Barring some mishaps, Bat Boy is a triumph: Solid gameplay that keeps getting better with each stage. It's a very short game, but it's a sweet experience that I can definitely recommend to everyone that's a fan of 2D platformers (and especially Shovel Knight).

    Morbid Metal is a promising debut with a combat system that earns real respect. Screen Juice has built something genuinely worthwhile here - a fast, expressive, multi-character action game that holds its own alongside its clear inspirations, even if it hasn't matched them yet. The roguelike structure introduces limitations that blunt some of that momentum, the bugs in the current build are disruptive in a system where precision matters most, and the story hasn't yet justified its ambitions. But the foundation is strong, and Ubisoft's decision to back this small German studio looks, at least so far, like one of the smarter calls they've made in a while. The full release could be something worth getting loud about. [Early Access Score = 65]

    RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an ambitious spin-off that brings the charm of RuneScape to the survival genre, set in the dragon-filled, mysterious continent of Ashenfall. In early access, it offers a compelling foundation with familiar skill systems, creative base-building, and innovative magic mechanics, but stumbles with a thin story, optimization issues, and clunky inventory management. [Early Access Score = 75]
