Ario
Ario is one of the worst games we've tried in a very long time. Palle was the lucky one to undertake the task - and he even volunteered himself for it.
The first season of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a joke(r)
Whether it's a lack of budget, time or talent, the result is the same. This first season is an even bigger downfall than the main game.
HappyFunland
In a rundown and creepy amusement park, Conny has been running around, riding rides and getting a little bit scared in this VR title that he has had a surprising amount of fun with....
South Park: Snow Day
Although it has a few interesting elements, this cooperative game fails to impress the way The Fractured but Whole and Stick of Truth did.

Rise of the Ronin
Team Ninja's first foray into open-world action RPGs is going to draw a lot of comparisons, but can it stand out on its own?
Dragon's Dogma 2
An epic adventure in a world so large that it will take weeks to map it thoroughly. But has Capcom's titanic work turned out as well as it seems?

Pieces Interactive has put a shiny and fresh coat of paint on the 1994 horror game, in this remake that feels very reminiscent of Resident Evil 2.

Outcast: A New Beginning
The adventure returns in this remarkable sequel that is more than just a revival of the great cult game from the late '90s. This return to Adelpha is a love letter that complements the original and expands on it on every level.

Contra: Operation Galuga
Re-imagining the series from its ashes so that it remains relevant today.

Unicorn Overlord
The game with the silliest title of the year so far is - fantasy clichés and a handful of sexist character designs aside - an early GOTY candidate for anyone who loves deeply satisfying tactical gameplay.

Classified: France '44
Experience a more unknown part of World War 2 in this new strategy game.

We've got down and dirty in this latest instalment into the MudRunner series.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake
2013's harrowing adventure game is back and more beautiful than ever in this striking and respectful remake.

The second instalment of the most ambitious remake in gaming history has arrived. Does it live up to its legacy and today's standards?

Foamstars
Like Splatoon but uglier and less entertaining.
Silent Hill: The Short Message
Konami is reviving the Silent Hill series, at least marginally, with a short and free adventure.
Persona 3 Reload
Anders has fought his way through Tartarus and is ready with a verdict on this latest Persona remake.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
More mini-games, more battles, more drama and the return of the main characters of the series. Ichiban and Kiryu leave us with the best Yakuza (or Like a Dragon) ever.
Tekken 8

Ark: Survival Ascended
Studio Wildcard has upgraded their survival title to Unreal Engine 5, adding a variety of additional improvements along the way, but is it enough to make the jump from Ark: Survival Evolved?
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
Fortunately, there's more than just war in Owlcat's role-playing version of the 41st millennium.
God of War: Ragnarök Valhalla is so amazing it should cost money
The fact that this DLC is free is insane, as it delivers a great story, new areas, new enemies and an addictive gameplay cycle.
Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen
Clive Rosfield is back in the first expansion to Final Fantasy XVI which offers a much more difficult adventure than before...
The Finals
The Swedish Battlefield veterans at Embark Studios have now rolled out their Fortnite competitor and Petter has been hard at work testing The Finals...
