With five to seven hours of gameplay, Call of the Elder Gods offers just enough content to keep the story exciting without stretching it unnecessarily. Fans of the first game will undoubtedly enjoy this immensely. The game delivers a cool mystery, features multiple strong twists, and cleverly combines puzzles with a top-notch story. Call of the Elder Gods has thus become a successful sequel that shows this franchise still has plenty of potential. In terms of presentation and polish, it could have gone a step further here and there, but perhaps that is precisely something a potential third installment could focus on entirely.

Neva Prologue isn't an expansion that attempts to do something entirely new. The game largely builds on the ideas and systems of the main game. Nevertheless, it's a well-crafted and atmospheric experience that demonstrates how strong Neva's foundation remains. Playing with lighting, timing, and disappearing platforms provides enough variety to keep the short playtime interesting. For players who played the original, the price of around three euros is a no-brainer. It's cheaper than a drink on a terrace and considerably cheaper than an evening at the cinema. In return, you get an hour to an hour and a half of well-crafted gameplay. That makes this DLC a delicious treat for fans of the game.

After playing for a while, everything quickly feels repetitive. The graphics and backgrounds are still decent enough. But the gameplay could be a bit more engaging. You're constantly jumping around, occasionally tackling a puzzle or a fight, only to do the same thing in the next room. Of course, that's the basis of a 3D platformer, but still... I'm afraid this is a game that, despite its generally positive first impression, needs some work. The glitches, the less-than-captivating puzzles, and the subpar combat system are a serious letdown. Especially for a current price of €24.99, some adjustments should be made before it's worth the price.

Candy Rangers is a textbook example of how a classic genre can be revived. The combination of a clever color system, creative enemies, and small bits of freedom makes it a fun experience. At the same time, the feeling that there could have been more lingers. The quick introduction of all the mechanics and the lack of real progression mean the game is already over after twenty levels. But perhaps that's the best compliment you can give a short-lived game like this: I want to see more. More levels, more enemies, more crazy twists. And if a game leaves you with that feeling, it's done its job well.

In short, 'Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound' is the Ninja Gaiden for the SNES we never got. It plays beautifully, keeps the action moving fast, and keeps the adrenaline flowing freely. This is a fantastic return to a franchise, and the year of the ninja isn't over yet, because the answer is always more ninjas.

YOUR HOUSE offers a graphically quite simple concept, where you almost get the idea that you are playing an old Flash game, where you also have clicking points that take you to the next frame. The illustrations are very nicely done, but all this is slightly limited by the fact that the game only fills a frame of your screen, and not the entire screen. YOUR HOUSE also requires a lot of perseverance. You can ask for hints of course, but even with that you sometimes really have to figure out what the solution is. However, if you really like reading, digging deep and solving puzzles, then this is undoubtedly a great adventure for you. With about five hours of gameplay, including research and a lot of trying and thinking, you will be busy with this narrative game for quite a while.

Everhood 2 succeeds in developing the original concept of the first part without losing the unique elements. Where the first part had some shortcomings, such as long loading times, the sequel polishes away these drawbacks. The story is an even grander adventure and there is more focus on the 100 different music tracks and fights. The level system and weapons may not add much, the result is still a cool and unique indie experience. Everhood 2 is an adventure that you do not want to miss. It may not have the WTF moments of the first part, but it knows how to walk its own path and create an experience that is once again both musically and visually unique.

Among Ashes is a game that wants to appear outdated, and that is simply the case, intentionally or unintentionally. Graphically everything looks very mediocre on the PC (in-game) and even outside your computer it is not something to write home about. The game is therefore difficult to follow at times and confusing and unclear. The same goes for the game mechanics and the gameplay. It is all just not quite there, while the concept is very cool. The close-combat melee attacks feel very stiff and the use of inventory and moving in the environments also feels very mediocre. In addition, you are often busy in the same environments, which makes everything very linear. Among Ashes is not a bad game and in terms of concept quite well put together, but unfortunately it does not live up to it in the end.

Building on the strong foundation the developers laid with Gris, Neva once again impresses with an emotionally charged story, beautiful visual presentation, and a captivating soundtrack. The game combines challenging platforming with simple yet satisfying puzzles and combat, all centered around the partnership between Alba and her growing wolf. While the pace could have been a little quicker for some players, the breathtaking art style makes every moment feel like a living painting. The few drawbacks, such as the repetitive death sounds and occasionally frustrating save points, do little to detract from the overall picture. Neva is a beautifully crafted game that not only challenges your skill as a player, but also touches your emotions. It is an interactive art experience that shows how powerful the medium can be, both in terms of gameplay and storytelling.

Consigue infundirme un ligero sentido moral, lo cual es bastante especial para un título tan lúdico como éste. Yo diría: ¡dale una oportunidad, vive esa vida y sácale todo el partido!
