Resident Evil Requiem Review Switch 2: Two Games in One

Diablo IV Review: A Game that lost its Vision

I firmly believe that behind every good game there is at least one person with a clear vision. This vision can be an addictive gameplay loop, a new groundbreaking idea or an emotional story. But what happens when a game during development changes this vision or comprises it to appeal

Lies of P Review: A Surprising Competent Souslike

A South Korea studio makes a dark version of Pinocchio and turns it into a Soulslike game, can that work? Round8 Studio shows with Lies of P that this weird mix can turn into a great game, but in the end it still falls short of true greatness. A Familiar

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond Review: Graphics without Gameplay

I have a confession to make, I was never a huge Metroid fan. I played a few Metroid games before. I did overall enjoy my time with Metroid Prime 1 and Metroid Dread, but with neither I fell in love. Still I was very excited to play Metroid Prime 4.

Kirby Air Riders Review: A Game Design Masterclass

Battlefield 6 Review: The Best Casual Shooter Out There

Super Mario Galaxy Review – Not Every Classic Ages Well

Playing Mario 64 and Sunshine is one of my favorite childhood memories, but I never played Super Mario Galaxy. So I was very excited to experience it for the first time. Many describe Super Mario Galaxy as the best 3d Mario, sadly my experience was a very different one. A

Hades 2 Review: More is not always better

When Hades released in 2020 it was my Game of the Year. For me Supergiant Games nailed it and created a Masterpiece of a Roguelike. It was a tight experience and executed in a flawless way. Hades 2 now is bigger in every way, yet I can't help
