Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream starts strong, especially for fans of the series, with fluid combat and familiar faces. Unfortunately, repetition quickly sets in and variation is lacking. For sixty euros you get little new, unless you are really crazy about Sword Art Online.- Gameliner

Rogue Waters offers an entertaining pirate experience with accessible roguelike elements and fun combat. Customizable difficulty keeps the game challenging and engaging for players of any skill level.- Gameliner

Zelda: Echoes of wisdom is difficult to put down and offers a lot of freedom and creativity due to the echoes. Exploring the colourful world of Hyrule is rewarding as you unlock new items and echoes, while you encounter plenty of weird minigames and sidequests. The story itself focuses on the gameplay and the old school dungeons. Although the long menu of echoes can be cumbersome, the game’s overall experience is fantastic, and it sets a high bar for future 2D Zelda games.- Gameliner

Hide The Corpse doesn't take itself dead serious and neither should you. This snazzy lookin' VR serial cleaner simulation will have you scurrying around the house, dumping bodies and evidence in any suitable place you can possibly find, before the fuzz busts down the door. Do a good job, and you're off the hook with an ice cold S-ranking. If you snoozed, you're in for a night at the station. Hide The Corpse almost scores that S-rank, merely tainted by a few forgotten fingerprints.- Gameliner

Mortal Kombat: Khaos Reigns delivers solid characters like Cyrax, Sektor, and Noob Saibot, along with the usual MK humor and no load times. However, the DLC feels overpriced, offering only two hours of story content for a steep price of fifty euros. While visually impressive and enjoyable for hardcore fans, it’s hard to justify the cost compared to other entertainment options.- Gameliner

EA Sports FC 25 is the most complete football game in the series, but is it worth the €80 price tag? If you already own FC 24, you won’t miss much. For fans of Rush and Ultimate Team, it might be wise to wait for a price drop.- Gameliner

Halls of Torment combines roguelike survival with bullet-hell chaos in a delightful way. The nostalgic Diablo vibe and addictive meta-progression make this a must-play for fans of challenging action like Vampire Survivors.- Gameliner

Breachway effectively uses its sci-fi theme, with gameplay centered around strategic decisions based on ships, cards, and crew. However, you barely carry anything over to the next round. Which makes pre-run planning non-existing. While the resource-based card system works well, players are limited by a standard deck and RNG. The game looks polished with exciting visuals, but it currently lacks some depth and the desire to keep playing. [Early Access Score = 50]- Gameliner

City 20 offers a fresh take on the post-apocalyptic survival genre with a city setting and dynamic interactions. While the survival mechanics can feel repetitive at times, it holds enough potential for replayability and experimentation. [Early Access Score = 70]- Gameliner

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed remains a fun platformer, but it falls short compared to modern titles like Astro Bot or The Plucky Squire. While the game's originality shines through and fans of the original will enjoy it, its slow pacing, dated presentation, and occasionally frustrating controls hold it back. Despite these flaws, it offers plenty of nostalgic charm for longtime players.- Gameliner

Ara: History Untold is a complex 4X-strategy game that introduces an extensive crafting system and simultaneous turns, eliminating waiting times. Players win by earning Prestige in various categories rather than pursuing a specific victory condition. While the game offers rich details in leaders and visuals, it falls short with predictable events and limited cultural differences. It still offers an in depth and rewarding experience for any strategy enthusiasts.- Gameliner

WARCANA combines deckbuilding and base defense in a tactically challenging way, with surprisingly detailed pixel art. However, the steep learning curve and small player base raise questions about the game's future.- Gameliner

DeathSprint 66 throws you into a neon-cyberpunk world packed with fast-paced, chaotic races. The action is intense, though the lack of counterplay and a weak soundtrack might dampen the thrill. Still, fans of bloody, high-speed racing will find plenty of challenge and excitement to keep coming back.- Gameliner

Even after 28 years, Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged still feels like a timeless classic with a compelling story to tell, puzzles to tackle, and conspiracies to unravel. Now visually completely overhauled, Revolution Software's iconic point-and-click adventure sets off to cater to the modern audience, as well as the die-hard fan of the series. The latter may unfortunately consider it a tough sell since Broken Sword - Shadow of the Templars: Reforged doesn't bring any new material to the table, but if you're new to the franchise, this is the ultimate edition to get drawn into the mystery.- Gameliner

Frostpunk 2 offers a solid survival city-building experience, with a strong focus on social and political elements. Newcomers and fans can enjoy it as a standalone game, but longtime Frostpunk players may have mixed feelings about it's larger scale. As the game moves away from the personal connection with individual citizens which reduces the emotional impact.- Gameliner

All Possible Futures has created a wonderfully creative game with The Plucky Squire. The book itself is colourful and filled with fun little puzzles, which answers you find by jumping to other pages. Meanwhile, the 3D-world on the desk is incredibly detailed. The transition between these two worlds is quick and smooth, offering a combination of unique gameplay for young and old.- Gameliner

Capcom nails the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, delivering the nostalgic experience exactly as you remember it - but better. While some early 2000s quirks and content changes remain, the pure fun of fighting zombies, facing off against psychos, and saving survivors is as engaging as ever.- Gameliner

Edge of Sanity delivers an atmospheric, Lovecraftian horror experience with strong characters and a tense start, but loses momentum after the first act. As the plot drags and camp management becomes repetitive, the initial tension fades into indifference. It's a decent pick for horror fans, but there are stronger games in the genre.- Gameliner

Funko Fusion struggles to find its audience, with repetitive gameplay, messy narrative, and dated franchises that may not appeal to everyone. While the game looks visually good and the Funko figures are well-represented, the mix of childlike focus, challenging puzzles, and creepy story makes it feel mismatched. Ultimately, it lacks clear direction and doesn’t justify its full price.- Gameliner

Hollowbody is a strong horror game that perfectly captures the nostalgic atmosphere and play style of old Silent Hill games. The stark artstyle, compelling sound design and emotional story make this a must-play for horror fans.- Gameliner

Blue Manchu once again produces a memorable mishmash with Wild Bastards. The setting contains many peculiarities, but it is mainly the legion of playable characters and their peculiar personalities that give the game its own character. In Wild Bastards you experience a highlight when you go on an excursion with your favorite bastards and use the unique skills that they have to offer. The combat is namely entertaining enough due to the various inspirations from other genres and solid, if not somewhat thoughtful, gunplay. It is therefore extra unfortunate that Wild Bastards suffers from just too many headaches to overlook it. Some elements of the game feel underdeveloped, such as the random relationship management and the indifference in the available maps. The main culprit, however, is the pacing of the game, which sometimes makes you feel like you are really stuck in certain parts for far too long. This is an issue in the main campaign, but then also kicks the replayability off the horse. Nevertheless, there's plenty to love in Wild Bastards, even if a one-way ticket through the intergalactic Wild West is enough.- Gameliner

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown has solid gameplay and an excellent setting, but is plagued by severe technical issues that ruin the experience. Frequent server problems, framedrops, and graphical shortcomings make it feel more like an early access title than a full-priced game. Despite its potential, the game’s online-only design and performance issues prevent it from delivering on expectations.- Gameliner

NBA 2K25 shines with its impressive performance, visuals, and gameplay but suffers from its annual release cycle, leaving little room for innovation. While updates like Pro Builds and Pro Stick Rhythm Shooting improve the experience, modes like MyGM and MyCareer fall short. The increasing reliance on microtransactions, particularly with VC, takes away from what could otherwise be an outstanding game.- Gameliner

Demon’s Mirror offers an intriguing blend of roguelike deckbuilding and puzzle mechanics but struggles with a steep learning curve and RNG dependency. While the unique puzzle integration adds tactics, the balance can feel forced at times. A solid but not groundbreaking choice for strategists.- Gameliner

The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection offers a refreshing take on the series, with enjoyable stories that take you beyond the courtroom. The remastered sprites and new mechanics add value, while the chapter format makes it perfect for quick sessions. Although there’s little new for those who played the originals, it’s a must-have for newcomers, especially on the Nintendo Switch for its portability.- Gameliner

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions has solid controls and instantly immerses you in its magical world, but it lacks sufficient content to keep players engaged long-term. With an online player base required and limited team sizes, it risks facing a quick decline similar to other online-only games. At its current price, it may leave players wanting more.- Gameliner

The Adeptus Mechanicus at Saber Interactive have earned the Omnissiah's blessing by ensuring that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 appeases The God-Emperor's followers. The latest quest of Captain Demetrian Titus against the Tyranids will quench the yearnings of the bloodthirsty, the warhungry, and those who seek to purge the Tyranids and the Forces of Chaos. All hail the God-Emperor of Mankind for bestowing upon us the magnificence of Space Marine 2.- Gameliner
