“The Order of Giants offers a small adventure in the Rome area, with puzzles, clues and carefully crafted environments. The expansion keeps the story compact, but develops the mystery clearly. For players who want to step into Indiana Jones' shoes again, this is a short but complete addition.”

“As a player, you enter much larger and more mature rooms in Escape Simulator 2 than in part one. You get fifteen rooms divided over three themes and you can tackle them alone or with eight players at the same time, which often results in fun chaos. Thanks to the new Room Editor 2.0, endless new content continues to be added and DLCs are already planned. However, you do have to take into account bugs that sometimes make puzzles frustrating.”

“Deceit 2 was poorly received at the end of 2023. There were a number of critical points such as the graphics, visuals and the win balance between the Innocent and the Infected. The big update has really improved the game experience. Unfortunately, the update seems to have arrived too late and many players have already given up. Fortunately there is a kind of Friends Pass available where you can play the game with someone who has bought deceit 2. In addition, Deceit 2 is at its best if you play it with friends.”

“The game Scarf consists of a colorful, soft world held together by the adventurous story and the relationship between two different creatures. The blue creature and other creatures occasionally seem to float above the ground instead of walking. In addition, the puzzles become too repetitive at some point. However, if you are looking for a light and colorful game where you are sucked into the story, then Scarf is the game you want to play.”

“For one a challenge, but for the other a real case - my controller ends up in the wall - frustration game. The story of Shame Legacy takes time to unfold. However, that is not the only thing you have to be patient with. You will have to hide or crawl regularly. This quickly becomes repetitive. In addition, it is easily detected and then killed. So you will have to play some parts repeatedly. The puzzles provide a welcome change from sneaking.”

“Dark Quest 3 gives you a solid roguelite tabletop single player experience with a touch of deck building. There is plenty of content to discover. Think of different event cards such as a battle, a trait test or obtaining items. Collecting crystals in your run will unlock various resources. Think of new heroes, an alternative appearance for a hero, item cards, extra healing potions or extra gold.”

“Gigantosaurus: Dino Kart is a fun, family-friendly game. Choose from a range of familiar characters as you race through Cretacia to be crowned champion. Fortunately, the mechanics are easy to understand and the controls are fantastic for the youngest players.”
