Aphelion
Crash land with two astronauts on a frozen planet and 10 min into the game you wish they died. No interesting personalities and no subtlety as they say everything out loud. So often that I wonder if this a second screen game experience. My favorite is when one of them find a map with an area marked the Source and she say 'This place, it must be the Source'. It's also reaction shot, the game so you are forced to look at the stupid face all the time. Why 'Show, don't tell' when you can tell and close-up the person telling you.

Gameplay is walking, sliding, balancing, climbing and escape sequences simulator. Linear and buggy that let you die at random.

Recommendation is 'Ignore, don't play'.


Forza Horizon 6
More super easy mode chill driving. The characters in the game talk like there is a HR person hiding behind them.


Rage 2
The games prologue is a linear vomit fest that really did not sell the gameplay of the rest of the game. Rest of it is open world where you drive around and do missions for the three main factions. Drive, shoot & repeat. Repeat is the keyword. It gets so meh.


Observer
Take on the role of a detective that hack peoples brain in a cyberpunk setting. Walking simulator with a few vision modes to solve puzzles and mind hacking to walk around inside the minds of people. My feeling for this game can best me summarized by the Wtf is this Joe Pesci meme.


Blue Prince
Roguelike puzzle game where you each day enter the Mt. Holly manor and try to find room 46. Each room you find contains resources, clues and puzzles that open up more rooms. This game demands attention to details and a notebook to track everything you find.
