Shadow Gambit offers a lot to be happy about. Elaborate levels with lots of possibilities to sculpt your own solution, and wildly different characters to do it with. The game has many quality of life improvements missing from earlier real-time tactical sneak-em up games. This, combined with a very decent price point makes this one of the best starters of a very busy autumn season.- XGN

If you are looking for a coop game that is stressful and fun as well, you should definitely play Moving Out 2. Moving was never been more fun or do we need to say chaotic? Teamwork makes the dreamwork.- XGN

Immortals of Aveum adds some fresh twists to the formula, but mostly sticks to the basics of the fps genre. The worldbuilding and overall presentation look great, and shooting the different kinds of magic powers feels responsive and fun. But there are some flaws that do retract from the overall experience. The story goes all over the place in terms of tone, and performance wise there is still a lot of progress to be made. In between all the 2023 heavy hitters, Immortals sadly just falls a bit flat.- XGN

Norn9: Last Era is a fine game for fans of the franchise as well as newcomers thanks to some great voice acting, great characters and beautiful music. The prelude is a bit long though, which might scare some people of.- XGN

Armored Core 6 is a nice diversion from the Souls games for From Games. The return to modular mechs allows players to experiment with wildly different builds. Sadly, the game feels very unbalanced. It throws very hard bosses at you when you're unprepared and underpowered, while not challenging you enough when you finally reach enough freedom to build an AC to suit your style.- XGN

Phoenix Labs has delivered a magical, inclusive game with many useful features that lead to a stress-free and fun experience. The NPCs feel a bit shallow, but that doesn’t take too much away from the game.- XGN

The Teal Mask could have been a great expansion for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet if Game Freak had taken the time it needed to address and fix the overwhelming amount of issues that still plague the overall package. The fun stories and great Kitakami area make for some good fun if you can look past the technical troubles.- XGN

Samba de Amigo Party Central is a great time thanks to its accessible controls, local coop fun and the huge amount of songs to enjoy. The difficulty is a bit inconsistent however.- XGN

The iconic Mortal Kombat franchises spans more than 30 years already, but stills knows how to deliver a solid fighting game. They proof that with the soft reboot that is Mortal Kombat 1. Story mode and some new, intuitive fighting mechanics carry this installment, even though as a whole it's not as 'meaty' as its predecessor.- XGN

Baldur's Gate 3 is an impressive feat, making a DnD game accessible to the masses, while keeping the core, mechanics and variety of the rulebook intact. The freedom of choice is enormous, as are the consequences. The translation to consoles isn't entirely perfect and some minor grievances and bugs have transitioned or are even introduced, but all in all, this is the best Dungeons & Dragons game in existence.- XGN

Assassin's Creed Mirage is a nice mixture of old and new. The look and feel of this more focused adventure match that of earlier entries, whilst going back to it's roots with the focus on stealth. Deep skill trees and a gigantic map have been swapped for a slimmed down Bagdad and a few skills to choose from. Fans of the Ezio and Altaïr era are going to feel at home right away, and even the mediocre story and the nagging bug now and then, are not going stop you from having a fun trip down memory lane.- XGN

Detective Pikachu Returns marks the return of beloved duo. The game offers a perfect start for young detectives among us, but the puzzles and cases are made too easy for adults. It's mostly for families, with a linear story, but the writing is very charming.- XGN

This game is fun for kids but not so much for adults. The gameplay is a bit too simplistic and therefore gets boring. However for kids it's the ultimate game to learn the basics from such card games.- XGN

The more you play, the more it becomes clear that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 should not have been a full-fledged title. If it had been released at a lower price as an expansion for Modern Warfare 2, there wouldn't have been so much going on, it would probably even have been sufficient. Yet other choices have been made and that ensures that this title will go down in the history books of Call of Duty, but not for the reasons you would like.- XGN

Super Mario RPG is a strong remake from Nintendo thanks to the updated graphics, music and animations. It shows that the 1996-game is a timeless classic due to it's great story and memorable cast of characters.- XGN

Super Mario Bros. Wonder has its shortcomings. A traditional lives-system has no reason to exist in 2023 and the game's difficulty seems less balanced in optional content versus the main adventure. But the core of the game is a delight! The foundations of Mario are rock-solid as ever, while the new Wonder Flower and its many surprising effects keep the game from getting stale. Add perhaps the best co-op Mario has ever had, and you're left with a wonderful new entry in the Super Mario Bros. series.- XGN

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a great game thanks to improved combat, traversal and quality of life improvements. There are still some improvements to make though, as Insomniac could've implemented more of the feedback on the first two games.- XGN

Starfield is a Bethesda RPG in every sense of the word. It offers a large, rich and intriguing world, filled with sidequests and a mysterious main story. The possibility to enter your spaceship and explore the galaxy and fight space pirates is really fun. It has however a few strange bugs, the graphics can change a lot and firefights miss something extra. We’re certain though that RPG fans can easily spend hundreds of hours in Starfield.- XGN

Baldur's Gate 3 is a top game that is definitely worth playing, if you are willing to put in the hours. It's excellently written, excellently acted and shows that you can make a game as big as this without having a drop in quality through things like stupid fetch quests. Of course a game of this size is not without bugs and it is difficult to get into without prior knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons or Divinity, but besides that Baldur's Gate 3 is highly recommended.- XGN

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart was already a beautiful game on the PlayStation 5 and Nixxes Software managed to improve it on PC. The game looks absolutely astonishing and fluid, as if you are walking an Pixar movie. And not only can you enjoy the interdimensional adventure with a controller, the controls for mouse and keyboard are really well implemented. It's just a shame that the PC port has problems with certain hardware combinations.- XGN

Remnant II takes the shooting souls-like core of the original game, and builds upon it on almost all fronts. From building your perfect build by mixing archetypes, to exploring the diverse selection of beautifully crafted worlds, Remnant II gives you plenty of secrets to discover. The gunplay also feels really solid, although the overall experience does get hurt by a fluctuating difficulty and a scarcity of weapons for a FPS souls like, especially in the early game.- XGN

Disney Illusion Island is an entertaining game, whether you play alone or with up to four friends. The platforming action is smooth and flawless from the start and you don't even miss defeating enemies. The only cons here are the small screen of the Switch and the little flaws in the co-op mode.- XGN

Synapse is the new standard for VR FPS. thanks to the clever use of force feedback and eye tracking, you feel like you're inside the action. The combination of eye tracking and telekinesis is simply delightful and this is the closest we've felt to being a true force wielder. the clever use of your offhand for navigation, telekinesis and climbing/hiding is brilliant and works like a charm. If we have to complain a bit, we would love some more variety to the weapons used.- XGN

Compared to newer farming games Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is somewhat slow. This can lead to some frustrations, yet at the same time it gives you a sense of peace, something which is very welcome in today’s often rushed society. If A Wonderful Life had added more things to do, this slowness would’ve probably been a lot less noticeable. The characters, who are the heart and soul of the game, are the saving grace. They make you want to keep returning to Forgotten Valley.- XGN

C-Smash VRS is a fine crossover of Arkanoid and sports like Padel or Squash. The ballhandling works great and playing is very much fun. the single player could do with a few more game modi and hitting the ball sometimes feels inaccurate.- XGN
