Life is Strange 2 is a worthy sequel to both Life is Strange and Before the Storm. The game can't compete with either of them, but makes for a good third game. The story of Sean and Daniel is compelling and keeps you interested. Although there is a quiet episode in the middle of the story and not everything makes the impact you expect.- XGN

El Shaddai offers a unique experience trough fantastically weird environments, accompanied by beautifully fitting music. Along with the solid gameplay it makes for a great game, though it is slightly pestered by a lack of variation and camera issues.- XGN

Ghostbusters: The Video Game is absolutely a worthy third part in the Ghostbusters series. This game is definitely a must have for every Ghostbusters fan, but probably for every other gamer as well.- XGN

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is an enjoyable adventure, with a strong narrative focused on emotions and personal grief, and combat that is both fun to play and customizable to your liking. Sadly, an unstable frame rate and issues in both pacing and choice impact, do take away a bit from that shine.- XGN

With Dead Rising 3, the Xbox One has a great launch title. Expect hundreds, even thousands, of zombies on your screen who are all waiting to get mowed down by you. Still, the graphics are a bit clingy sometimes.- XGN

The fourth episode of Tales from the Borderlands is the best one: a hilarious shootout with Rhys, a story you want to explore and that typical Borderlands humor. The emotional aspect doesn't work quite as well here, but it still holds up.- XGN

All in all, definitely a fun game which, despite the errors, still gets a rather high score. The most important factor for this score is the great gameplay combined with very good sounds. Furthermore the addition of Wii Motionplus! in combination with the cheap price earns this game a fine [75].- XGN

This fighting game is nice due to all the swords but has not so much content. Therefore it's not a game you will play for month, more for a couple of weeks. Also the story is a bit weak and outdated.- XGN

The best footie is FIFA 14. PES 2014 is better than last year's version but still has a lot of problems, like framerate issues and the game is constantly loading.- XGN

The singleplayer storyline is far from interesting but the awesome gameplay makes up for it. R.U.S.E. brings a fresh breeze into the RTS genre and strategists will have, without a doubt, tons of fun with this game.- XGN

Third time is the charm for Hyrule Warriors, because with its release as Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition it's better than ever. The game provides a lot of content for players to enjoy and includes enough characters to keep it diverse.- XGN

UFC 4 is the best MMA-game to date, but that's partially because of a lack of competition from other developers. As is to be expected from a game that's part of a series, EA doesn't invent the wheel but improves gradually on its own formula. The evolution points, career mode, clinch possibilities and some other new features are nice, but is it enough to justify its price tag? We doubt it.- XGN

Who would have thought that playing a dictator could be so much fun. You are the one in control of developing your own island. New dictators might be a bit intimidated by the amount of options the game offers, but fortunately you can get a little help if you want. Because you're able to create your own playstyle, Tropico 4 will be able to keep you busy for many hours.- XGN

WWE 2K26 improves the wrestling experience with more dynamic matches and smoother gameplay. The game offers new modes and content for wrestling fans. However, some of the storylines feel underwhelming, preventing the game from fully reaching its potential.- XGN

Call of Duty Zombies Chronicles brings some of your favorite Call of Duty zombie maps to one game. Its premise of a complete zombie experience is not fulfilled because of the price versus the amount of content it has to offer.- XGN

Where Legends: Arceus focused on collecting, Legends: Z-A does the same for the combat system. Complemented by a fantastic soundtrack and a wealth of customization options, you're completely free to choose your own path in Lumiose City. Except for the slow opening hours, where the story requires patience before you can truly explore Lumiose City to your heart's content.- XGN

DOOM Eternal The Ancient Gods Part Two is a great finale story-wise, but when it comes to gameplay it is rather disappointing. The few new enemies and mechanics feel shallow and the actual final boss fight is a flop compared to what we've gotten in Eternal and the previous installment of DOOM. So just like Doomguy, we'll patiently have to wait until we can get going again because there's an itch that needs scratching.- XGN

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a story-driven masterpiece. Even though you will be able to finish it within 4-6 hours, it will leave you breathless and blown away.- XGN

It's shorter than Forsaken, but offers a story that spreads the entire season and adds loads of successful changes. Armor 2.0 is the biggest change and it's a brilliant move. We do hope that Bungie adds more loot, because at the moment it's pretty barebones.- XGN

Unfortunately there are only a few improvements in Pro Evolution Soccer 2010. PES-fans will be happy with some improvements in the different modes, but general soccer fans are better off with EA's FIFA 10.- XGN

FIFA 22 offers a lot of new elements on next-gen. Gameplay is finally going in a clear direction and provides a clear picture of what to expect from this iteration of FIFA. Even though the gameplay finally seems fine, there are quite a few problems. Career is near unplayable thanks to loads of bugs and glitches, Ultimate Team is still a pay-to-win fest and a lot of modes are clearly less important than cash cow Ultimate Team, which is understandable, but still frustrating.- XGN

Mega Man 10 is on certain moments a good game, but it drops stitches as well. Furthermore, the bosses aren't all original and the soundtrack is a little bit annoying. Still the game offers enough innovation to keep you busy for hours.- XGN

Annihilation offers exactly the same as the last two map packs: great maps, but little innovation. Those who are just looking for some new terrain, will be pleased though. Those who look for a new experience, won't.- XGN

Teslagrad is a great puzzle platformer. The magnets really add something different to the puzzles and the game is well thought-out. Unfortunately it's a bit short, but the replay value of Teslagrad is amazing and you'll keep playing it just to discover more.- XGN

A larger playable area, new weapons, abilities, vehicles and a new storyline haven't always proven to be a working formula in the past. Nonetheless did Techland take these elements and combined them to great success.- XGN

Everybody's Golf is a fun game for everybody. But it could have been better. You unlock things, but this takes a lot of time and there are not a lot of surroundings. Besides that this is a game you can play for hours and still have fun.- XGN

Deathtrap is a fresh combination of an action RPG and a Tower Defense-game. The game is quite challenging with a steep learning curve, but repays that with great mechanics, 4-player co-op and a cheap price.- XGN

Elden Ring Nightreign departs a lot from the usual FromSoftware formula, which doesn’t always work out. From a hasty experience to boss fights you can’t learn from, it can often be frustrating. The mechanics are solid however and it might tap into a whole new audience.- XGN

This will be the most complete Kingdom Hearts game ever. And it’s in HD! Finally we can go back and fight with Sora, Donald and Goofy. The disappointing aspect of the package is the lack of Kingdom Hearts II, while 358/2 Days feels a bit strange.- XGN
