Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Review
Super Mario Bros. Wonder takes 2D Mario in a new direction without losing what made the original games great while adding plenty of new ideas and gameplay mechanics at the same time.

Starfield – Review
Bethesda Studio’s latest flagship title Starfield has finally launched (see what I did there) and after spending a considerable amount of time with it I have finally made my evaluation because, oof, this was a difficult one to judge.

Ghostrunner 2 – Review
Sometimes it’s worth taking a chance on a game. I missed the first Ghostrunner, probably full-up on the cyberpunk aesthetic at the time, but mostly through timing and my own aversion to the idea of a game where I can lose in one hit. However, I had some time – somehow between Baldur’s Gate 3…
