As a Dark Souls Fan - This game is quite different. But the more you play it, the more it shows, that it is still made from the same Company.
At the start of the game you get quite confused usually since there is no real tutorial or arrows pointing the way, so you need to put 1 and 2 together to find out what your actual goal is.
Additionally, if you don't really listen to the characters, you get even more confused.
I would not have completed the game without websites like "Fextralife". (This is not a bad or good thing - It's just the way the players are "guided")

This is the first FromSoftware game I can recommend to both, DarkSouls Fans and people who have never played any Soulslike game. It is more accessible but at the same time just as difficult.

Unfortunately some software problems make it not a 10/10 for me, because of stuff like the FPS being locked to 60, stutters sometimes with the wrong graphic settings and some multiplayer issues.

I can HIGHLY recommend a mod called "Elden Ring Seamless Co-op" (by LukeYui) - With this mod you can play the game from start to finish with a friend. And even though the mod is - at the time of writing this - still in the early stages, it works amazingly well (with its fair share of bugs)

9/10 - Graphics, Sound, Story and Gameplay is top - Software things around it make it not as good as it could be

GOTY imo

Same as Forza Horizon 4. But better in almost every way.
Solid purchase and a great start to get into Forza Horizon.

This game feels like Ace of Spades (an old game I've played years ago) but it is so much more. It's like a fusion of Battlefield, Minecraft and Team Fortress 2. All of which I love. You should try this game, it's a game I am excited about every day. The last game that gave me that feeling was CS:GO. You should get it! It's amazing

10/10 - Just Genius

I've played Destiny 2 on Battle.net before Steam and now that it is on steam, it connects me with all other people through steam and not on battle.net which is a huge plus for me.
I have not played Destiny 1 because it was a console exclusive, it didn't make it hard for me to get into D2.
But at the same time it is difficult to know what's going on at the start and you need to learn a lot before you can properly start into your adventure. Otherwise, the guns feel great the movement feels a bit "floaty" but still very good.

I can only recommend this game to people that like a grind.

Borderlands 2 is a great Loot Shooter that gives you millions of choices of what weapon you want to play.
The story is actually quite interesting if you get into it and it is also very entertaining.
Borderlands 2 improved on everything that Borderlands 1 was missing, better guns better graphics, more humour and more.

This game is my favorite Sandbox game of them all.
It's very complicated, but that is one of the biggest reason I like it. It's not for Casual players at all.
It's like if you combine rocket science with Minecraft.

You can build anything from Satellites that obliterate other ships with Lasers or build U-Boats with torpedoes that kill your targets while being completly silent.
You can build so many different things, there is almost no limit to it.
The Campaign(s) is/are really solid and the sandbox is great.
You have different planets that you can build your stuff on. You can even build buildings and tanks.

TL;DR Very complicated, much creativity needed.

This game is one of my Favorites. I would go out and say, this is the best "Sandbox Simulation" Game out there. Because, if you love space, you can do whatever SpaceX or Nasa is doing right now! You can even go further than our own earth (or kerbin). There is a whole load of planets that you can travel to and land on. It's not like pointing yourself in a direction and accelerating, because actual physics are involved in all you do. So you have to make an orbit around Kerbin and expand it until it reaches the same height as the planet you want to land on. You also have to make satellites that relay information from earth to you or the other way around. There is so much to do in the base game, and even more stuff to do when you install mods, which have a really easy way to install them and have great intigration in to the game.
I just love this game. It's for the people who like space and who want to learn more on how actual space flight works and what you need for your rocket to fly how it's supposed to do.

Cities: Skylines is a game that you want to play if you don't feel like playing action games or "Tryhard" games. It's soothing but at the same time, it does not get too boring. It's the best game for its type of game. You have complicated Traffic system, a good amount of City management and offers a gigantic customization opportunity. Almost everything is perfect in this game. Only almost, because if you don't have that good of a PC then this game will struggle, especially because it is very CPU heavy. If you mod it too hard it will most likely crash and the stability in the Vanilla game isn't too great either. Other than that, it is one of my favorite games to relax, 9 / 10
