If you have any interest at all in railroads, or just want to play a fun sim game, Railroads! is right up your alley. It may not be as complex as other Sid Meier games, but it is all the more beginner friendly for it.

If you like the current and famous guard of voice actors then Dead Take is basically a must. Both Newbon and Starr are stellar. None of the other actors have to hide behind those two though and it is a joy to see people like Jane Perry, CDawg or Alanah Pearce bringing full performances to the screen. The puzzles in the game are logical and fit well with the whole theme of the game but aren’t outstanding or new in any shape. The game is very linear and the mechanic of splicing two unrelated videos together is conceptually cool but rather boring to actually do.

Assassin’s Creed Nexus introduces a groundbreaking Virtual Reality (VR) experience to the iconic gaming franchise. The game maintains the essence of the series by integrating familiar characters and the Animus simulation. The innovative VR mechanics offer an immersive blend of climbing, running, and combat, providing players with a unique and entertaining adventure. While calibration issues and occasional glitches may pose challenges, the game’s successful combination of realistic movements and engaging gameplay ultimately makes it a compelling addition to the Assassin’s Creed legacy.

Exoprimal is just a few unfortunate missteps short of being a hidden gem. The base gameplay that mixes hoard-based PvE and high-stakes PvP is unique and interesting. Even the absurd story about dimension-hopping AI dye and mechanized soldiers fighting dinosaurs had us intrigued. However, the variety of gameplay on offer simply does not justify the price tag and is especially disappointing in regards to the rampant monetization through battle-pass and premium skins. On Gamepass, however, this is a must-try for sure.

While Punch Club 2: Fast Forward doesn't stray too far from the first game in terms of its core mechanics, it doesn't need to. The unusual gameplay loop , the entertaining story and the charming pixel graphics combine into a package that is well worth taking a closer look at.

Goblin Stone tells the story of the poor goblins who defend themselves against the evil adventurers. The cute goblins have to position themselves well tactically and take part in various adventures to further expand the goblin base. A turn-based roguelike adventure with beautiful graphics and a great narrator's voice.

The game offers a good mix of platforming with some puzzle elements. On top of the solid gameplay, Gris+ captivates the player with its absolutely gorgeous visuals. If you haven’t played Gris yet, the Apple Arcade release is a well-worth experience.

The 16:9 format in anniversary mode provides a much better overview when playing, the performance is great, unlimited lives in anniversary mode prevent frustration for newcomers and the numerous extras such as the 60 challenge missions, the new intro and outro cutscenes, the mirror mode that can be unlocked and the museum mode fit in well. Sadly Tails' AI isn’t very reliable, a few features known from fan-remakes are missing (like a save-state function) and the two DLC packages leave a stale aftertaste. What remains is a not error-free, but nevertheless entertaining collection of Sonic hits.

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story may not be the biggest release of this winter, but it surely is one to keep an eye on. With its heartwarming story and characters "Song of Nunu" delivers solid platformer-gameplay along with interesting puzzles.

Commandos: Origins brings the strength and weaknesses of the original-series to the table. While it suffers from a lack of user-guidance and certain inconsistencies, it also gives players a lot of freedom and creates some really satisfying moments.

Toxic Commando is a fun cooperative zombie shooter that shines when played with friends. Its large maps, brutal zombie hordes and flexible class system provide plenty of chaotic action, even if the pacing occasionally suffers from the open level design. Vehicles and progression add variety, but sometimes slow the flow of combat. While it doesn’t quite reach the heights of genre classics like Left 4 Dead, it’s still an entertaining co-op experience for players looking for their next zombie-slaying session.

While Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is absolutely a product of it’s time it mostly doesn’t feel like it in the parts where it counts. The gameplay is fluid and varied. The story itself is mostly cliche but the dialogue and its treatment of women is very outdated and sometimes even gross. On the other hand the dialogue between Garcia and Johnson is raunchy and crude but still gives me a good amount of chuckles.

It may be lacking some of the features that you would expect from a game like this in 2023, but just like Pokémon GO took some time to get there, Monster Hunter Now has solid foundation required to grow into something really good.

The Lamplighter’s League may look like a chance to play out your own pulp adventure fantasy, but it turns out to be an intricate combat puzzle full of synergies and silly combos. While performance can be a bit of an issue and the story fails to leave much of an impact, the core gameplay is fun enough to keep this title memorable. It won’t deliver the instant mainstream appeal something like X-COM will have, but passionate fans of turn-based tactics shouldn’t miss this hidden (albeit slightly unpolished) gem.

SD Gundam Battle Alliance is a nostalgic treat not just for fans of the over 40 years of Gundam history, but also for fans of Action RPGs. Ditching many modern sensibilities, such as complex game systems, deep customizability or even a coherent, emotional story, SD Gundam Battle Alliance can feel like a relic lost in time. The easy to learn and hard to master combat system that’s largely learned by bashing your head against an increasingly unfair difficulty curve is incredibly satisfying to learn. In time we combo together ranged and melee attacks, juggling our opponents with ease only to get completely crushed by the next boss until we find the right combination of skills, upgrades and gundam to best even the hardest foe. While not without its flaws, SD Gundam Battle Alliance is a celebration of a storied franchise and its particular style of gameplay, executed with style and charm.

Flint: Treasure of Oblivion combines strategy role-playing gameplay with pen and paper elements - and it works! However, as a player you have to teach yourself a lot, the fights lack oomph and some aspects of the game are unfortunately not intuitive.

Fallen Feathers is a good action RPG with brutal, impulsive combat, impressive bosses, well designed game world and nice graphics. But in the end, it can't fully compete with the best Soulslikes, which is why the game does not possess the status as a must-play. But if you can't get enough of this kind of game, Wuchang is still a good choice.

Tin Hearts is a wonderful little game of guiding toy soldiers through the remnants and memories of a toy workshop. While a little light on challenging experienced players, an excellent level progression, heartwarming story, and downright adorable visual design more than make up for it. However, the Nintendo Switch version suffers from muddy textures and occasional stutters that pull an otherwise excellent experience down.

A tribute to British culture and its unique humour, which is unfortunately over far too quickly.

Disciples: Domination is a well-rounded, slow-paced strategy RPG with a strong dark-fantasy atmosphere and plenty of content. Its mix of turn-based combat and kingdom management offers depth, but simple battles, weak AI, and minor technical issues hold it back. A good, but not outstanding, entry for patient strategy fans.

Your view of Sniper Elite 5 highly depends on what you expect of a good sequel. It delivers the same semi-open-world stealth shooting that its predecessor did so well. However it fails to add anything significant to the formula aside from a graphical update. In certain areas it even feels leaner than the 2017 Sniper Elite 4. It’s still an enjoyable experience and certain additions like the new invasion mode that combines PvP and PvE do offer new takes on the formula. The core gameplay however remains a little too far in the comfort zone for our taste.

Please, Touch the Artwork 2 is a very well done mix between art and a point-and-click adventure. By no means does it re-invent the genre, but the simple puzzles are fun and the presentation really make the game stand out and are at the same time a central gameplay mechanic.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree blends anime flair with Roguelite mechanics inspired by Hades. While its combat, progression, and quirky cast shine, a slow start, uneven co-op, and overly chatty storytelling hold it back. Fans of Roguelites with patience for anime tropes will still find a rewarding adventure.

In NHL 24, EA Sports focuses on improving the gameplay experience where it matters: On the ice. The addition of the exhaust-engine, the pressure system and the new controls work in favour of the overall gameplay. Unfortunately, NHL 24 lacks improvements in nearly every game-mode, which makes it hard to give the game a recommendation.

The animations in Stars in the trash are really well done and are reminiscent of the old cartoons of yesteryear. A cute adventure game, which is unfortunately played through far too quickly.

While the story campaign starts quite interesting, it quickly looses a lot of momentum due to lots of boring standard quests, way too many battles which aren’t challenging at all and a general lack of surprises. On the other hand the dungeons and boss battles are fun, the upgrade system is full of possibilities, cross platform progression works well and playing through the campaign at an acceptable speed is totally possible without any micro transactions. The latter however become much more relevant in arena mode.

In its best moments, Bleach: Rebirth of Souls is a love letter to the anime hit with its thrilling fights, excellent soundtrack and superb style and offers fans everything they want. However, especially the at best modest selection of modes in the multiplayer section prevents it from becoming the number one anime fighting game.

Harvestella offers a unique mix of farming sim and action RPG Lee. While there are some flaws in both aspects, and the presentation, Harvestella still offers an entertaining experience thanks to the gameplay mix and story.

Let’s Sing 2022 is a fun karaoke game you should definitely play with microphones if possible. Entertaining games modes and a good song mixture will get the party started.

As a more or less classical rail shooter, Dark Pictures Switchback VR is no complexity monster – and it's short concerning a single playthrough. But the simple and good working gameplay mechanics are nothing less than a perfect match for VR. The shooting trip also benefits from its scary atmosphere while particular connoisseurs of the core series will enjoy the similarities.

Soulstice the attempt by small developer Reply Games Studios to create a character action game in the style of Bayonetta and Devil May Cry. While neither as flashy nor deep as its bigger siblings, “Soulstice” offers a very solid foundation, an entertaining story, and enough depth to get you through a playthrough. It’s not the best the genre has to offer, but it’s an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a new action title on a budget.

NHL 26 refines its gameplay with ICE-Q 2.0 and a stronger Be A Pro mode, creating smoother and more authentic hockey. Clearer X-Factors add balance, but Frostbite limitations, recycled ideas, and heavy microtransactions hold it back. A solid step forward, yet not the revolution the series still needs.

Furistas Cat Cafe+ is great if you are looking for an idle game with a charming presentation and plenty of cats to just relax and enjoy the quieter moments in life.

As with its predecessors, Bravely Default 2 scores with its unique and complex round based fighting system and an inviting atmosphere. But beside other minor strengths, the game suffers from its strong grinding constraints and its imbalance by constantly toggling between too easy removable and overwhelming enemies.

The Chant brings a few interesting ideas into the modern Survival-Horror-Genre, but stumbles as much as it succeeds. The setting and story have their moments, but a lot of the characters feel too two-dimensional and predictable. Combat has some depth, especially with the introduction of roleplay elements, but ultimately the lack of diversity turns combat to a chore outside of a few especially well-made bossfights. Nonetheless, The Chant is a game well worth checking out for fans of the spooky and supernatural and deserves more attention than it currently got.

Soul Hackers 2 is a JRPG for fans of the Devil Summoner games and Persona 5, but unfortunately struggles with boring dungeons and a story that could have been made a lot more.

NBA 2K24 is a superb sports-gameplay. It delivers high-level basketball on the court and also presents the action like a modern TV-broadcast. Along with a lot of basketball-nostalgia and tons of game-modes, "NBA 2K24" is an overall better package than its predecessor. However, microtransactions and the pay-to-win-mentality seriously hurt two of its two main game moves and leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

Road 96’s narrative may not reach the heights of the best the modern adventure genre has to offer, but it cleverly distracts with a cast of intriguing characters and the promise of procedurally generated road-trips. The novel concept doesn’t always work, but when it does, it offers a very personal and gripping journey through a country on the verge of dictatorship.

The absurdity of the situations Octodad finds himself in coupled with the unusual controls are what make this game so charming and unique.

Enotria: The Last Song tends to get lost in its own ambitions. While it breathes fresh air into the grim and hopeless apocalypses souls-likes tend to portray, the additions to the combat and character customization tend to weigh it down. Despite a generally more forgiving difficulty than many other titles, the sheer volume of things to keep track of make this a souls-like best suited for fans of the genre.

If you like slow and deliberate horror then Routine is an absolute must. It’s positively dripping in atmosphere and does a tremendous job of immersing you on this seemingly lost place on the moon. It looks great and offers incredible music and even better sound design. When it comes to the gameplay it is unfortunately rather bland. It does what it does pretty alright but it never reaches the heights it offers in its other elements.

Although Nikoderiko: The Magical World doesn't quite match the class of its great idols, this playable love letter to the platformer genre is a title that fans can give a chance without hesitation.

Visions of Mana scores above all with its charming look and loveable characters. The new elemental powers are also quite impressive. Although various facets prevent the action RPG from unleashing its full potential, the return of the legendary game series is a success overall.

With its positive vibe and the fun gameplay loop, you can't help but grow fond of the characters and the world of Tamagotchi Adventure Kingdom.

Luck be a Landlord is a game for a good time not a long time. Though its graphics and music are very simple, the same can’t be said about the gameplay which provides an addictive experience.

The gods of the Greek pantheon are front and center in “Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island”. They feel like real characters and it is a joy to get to know them. Unfortunately the gameplay is a very shallow affair that consists mostly of finding an item on one side of the island that you have to deliver to a god on the other side of the island. This can be very appealing though and combined with the great cast it results in more than one long and annoying fetch quest. Paired with the great visuals and so many very cute animations makes it a worthwhile stay on Ambrosia Island.

At its core Killing Floor 3 is a fun and more than solid game. Mowing down hordes of Zeds alone or alongside strangers and friends just rocks. This is thanks to great looking gore and a decent variety of weapons and enemies. At the same time the feeling of the guns is not always great and a lot of them lack punch and power. The base between maps to upgrade your character and your guns feels superfluous. Both the look and the soundtrack are not bad by a mile but feel a tad generic and lack the style that make Killing Floor what it became known for. With all that said Killing Floor 3 is still a blast to play with a bunch of friends and strangers to just mow down untold waves of Zeds and other monstrosities.

With Styx: Blades of Greed, developer Cyanide continues the series at a decent level. However, there are no innovations that significantly improve the gameplay experience. Improvements such as the even more open areas are offset by drawbacks such as the largely consequence-free temporary escape from enemies.

One the one hand Monster Energy Supercross 25 is undoubtedly the best series' entry so far with better graphics, better physics and more tracks than ever before. But on the other hand that still does not mean the game could fully compete with the top games of the genre, not least because of the lack of varied gameplay and modes. A solid racing game mainly for a special target group.

Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a more than solid spinoff for the successful Yakuza-series. With a satisfying fighting-system, tons of side-activities and the typical Yakuza-humor, Like A Dragon Gaiden make veterans happy and gives newcomers a chance to get into the series easily.

Kirby‘s Dream Buffet is a fun little game with our favorite pink munch ball that is excellently presented. Minor shortcomings in the amount of content can be overlooked if one is looking for a game with short rounds to fill some gaps in the day.

Atomic Heart immediately draws you in with its enchantingly weird story of a retro-futuristic Soviet Union. However, an interesting and visually compelling vision is hampered by a meandering story and some truly awful combat encounters. What comes to mind is style over substance, yet there’s plenty of content to be found here, just none of it standing out as particularly well-polished. Still, the game has a fair share of interesting ideas and moments that make it worth experiencing despite its flaws.

Milestone certainly works on the weaknesses of its "MotoGP"-series: And while MotoGP 24 still isn't the most accessible or flamboyant racing-game out there, the improved career, tutorials and options do a proper job to push the series into the right direction.

With NHL 25 EA Sports delivers another enjoyable ice hockeygame. Thanks to the solid presentation and overall fun gameplay, players will have a good time again. The NHL-franchise is stagnating and the lack of real innovation and the well-known pay-to-win-mechanics within Hockey Ultimate Team hurt the experience immensely.

If you are in the market for a mix between a Shoot’em Up and a Roguelike, Steredenn: Binary Stars is a good choice. It doesn’t do anything extraordinary but offers a fun gameplay loop with a broad variety of upgrades and weapons. The Shoot’em Up experience suffers from too much randomness though. It’s hard to learn the stages and the bosses just because the stages are for the most part randomly generated and you will always go into boss fights with a different set of weapons and power-ups.

Projected Dreams is a cozy puzzle game that slows down the stressful everyday life and comes up with creative game ideas. A great game for puzzle fans who want to play without time pressure, with suitable music and a sweet background story.

Pax Augusta isn't a game for quick starters or those who prefer a more relaxed approach – but that's precisely where its strength lies. Roger Gassmann's passion project transports fans of building games into an authentic, meticulously detailed interpretation of ancient Rome that skillfully combines gameplay depth, historical accuracy, and moral decisions.

NBA 2K23 leaves us torn: On the one hand, it’s an almost perfect simulation of the sport delivering a high amount of detail and gameplay-value. On the other hand, the experience is heavily harmed by microtransactions and in-game advertisments.

Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit delivers more of what made the first game so enjoyable, and then some. Relaxing gameplay, a dreamy atmosphere and just an overall cozy feel make this a great game if you are looking for something to unwind.

Outcast: A New Beginning scores with its huge freedom by exploring the world, gaining progress and solving quests in a more or less free order. The humour and the stylish-fantastic graphics are also standing on the bright side, even if some annoying bugs and performance issues do some harm to the strong atmosphere. The bottom line is that A New Beginning is a distinct rise of quality compared to its predecessor in mostly any aspect. But this is not enough for a general recommendation. But if you like the original or the remake from 2017, Outcast: A New Beginning is worth buying.

Rough Justice 84 contains loads of 80s retro vibes at least in graphics and score. Altough the gameplay is quite simple and seems slightly repetitive in the long run, it offers a lot of good and innovative approaches, of which one would like to see more. It is to be hoped that the courageous overall concept will be expanded in the future - even with a different setting.

Outside of its setting and enemies [Redacted] doesn’t have much to do with its big brother The Callisto Protocol. It stands on its merits as a very solid Roguelite Twin-Stick Shooter that was inspired by some of the greats of the genre. The rivals let it stand out of the crowd of very similar games to some degree. While the shooting feels great and has some punch the melee system is not satisfying and often seems more like a liability than an asset.

Gotham Knights should not be confused as a sequel to the excellent Batman: Arkham Knight. Instead this Spin-Off explores a new and interesting story about the death of Gotham’s protector and falls victim to some of modern gaming’s worst trends. The crafting system feels unsubstantial and while the four different playable characters are all different and interesting, it feels like substantial abilities of the prior games were taken away and locked behind different characters, rather than each member of the bat family bringing something new to the table. Despite its shortcomings and missteps, we found “Gotham Knights” to be very fun to play, when focusing on the story over the repetitive open world activities and the multiplayer is an excellent fit for both the story and style of game.

Combining the formula of Dynasty Warriors with a Roguelight might seem mad on paper but works surprisingly well in Warrriors: Abyss. It’s fun collecting the over 100 available heroes and going into battle with them. Calling gathered heroes into battle for devastating combos is engaging. Unfortunately the fights can feel overwhelming because after a certain point every screen is filled to the brim with endless effects of both allies and enemies.

A promising entry to the long-lasting legacy of Dungeon Keeper that lacks in both variety and depth long-term. While the theme is fun and offers the occasional genuine chuckle between a lot of chliché-ridden humor a lot of the gameplay goes from fun to tedious in the later stages of the game. This game will have you hooked for a couple hours, but it’ll struggle to have you coming back for more once you’ve seen it all.

Roller Champions delivers a high dynamic gameplay, that's easy to learn and hard to master. A great fun-sport game that's simple on the one hand and motivating skill-based on the other. It is sad Ubisoft uses a F2P system trying to fleece the gamers prone for that kind of business model. Because as a low-budget or mid-price title widely without that, it could have been close to a new Rocket League.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is fun for everyone who knows the little yellow sponge. There is sadly no co-op mode and the adventure is played through quickly. Due to the hilarious humor from the TV series and the attention to detail and voice actors from the series, this is great fun for all burger makers.

As an experience Spirit of the North 2 has its good sides and mostly feels fine, if you have an idea where to go on. As a game with its technically average graphics and bad guided gameplay, what's part of the experience, it is not fully conditioned for a mainstream audience.

Meet Your Maker presents a fun, new take on level-builders like Mario Maker and classical shooters. Running and gunning is a quick and painful way to die here. Instead players should expect a surprisingly tactical take on post-apocalyptic grave robbery that's more than a little light on content at launch. As a live service, developer Behaviour Interactive (also responsible for Dead by Daylight) promises new content in regular intervals and if they can keep that up, this definitely has the potential for a cult classic.

SIFU is very realistic beat-’em-up-game from Sloclap, the dev’s from the action RPG Absolver, which already included different martial-art fights. They worked together with Kong Fu Master Benjamin Colussi to make the fights in SIFU as realistic as possible. The skill level required to beat this game is very high and you need to be patient and consistent to progress. Epic finisher moves, great story, nice music, but not a game for casual gamers.

The Sims 4 Horse Ranch does horses right - better even than many horse simulation games. Horse lovers won't care that the rest of the expansion lacks a bit of substance, when horse care and riding is done so well that it almost comes close to the real deal.

It's a power fantasy in its purest form. A powerful, sometimes clumsy, but always honest homage to a time when action heroes weren't cool, but brutal. It's a game for fans, for nostalgics, for everyone who wishes their video games weren't always bigger, but simply better at what they want to do. When RoboCop lumbers through the halls, delivering one-liners and restoring order with his assault rifle and steel fist, it feels right. No other game currently captures the essence of the character so well on screen. And that's despite not even trying to be modern. "Unfinished Business" isn't perfect. But it's RoboCop. And sometimes that's completely enough.

Great gameplay meets limited content and a high price tag. Racket Fury feels like an appetizer in a Michelin-starred restaurant, except that the main course is not yet in sight.

Even with new tutorials MotoGP 22 does not really manage to reduce the hurdle for newcomers. But if you are content to keep trying, the gaming fun will constantly increase. The amount of content and game moves is great, but not just because of that, MotoGP remains the best two-wheeler racing simulation you can get.

While Rogue Trader is a brilliant roleplaying game with incredible depth both in player expression and a gripping world, the Switch 2 version is unfortunately inferior to all other plattforms due to the restrictions of the console’s hardware and poor optimisation. This either needs steep discounts, numerous patches or both.

Dune: Awakening has everything a survival game fan would love & like: crafting, building, fighting. But this is also the downside of the game, for being to well known to genre fans. Still a nice choice for survival enthusiast as well as everyone that's interested in the world of Dune.

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition delivers a very nostalgic challenge. If you have the option to play against other players in local multiplayer with up to eight participants, you can have many hours of fun. If you're close to pro level, that's additionally the case in the two asynchronous challenge modes Survival and World Championship. But if you play solo (not being a pro) after maybe five hours you've seen anything the game has to offer.

Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon is a nice prequel that mixes storybook with elements of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and suggestively parallels the Metroidvania genre, including a high focus on combat, by being much more linear than this. But there are many things providing the game to be a must-have. The main reason for that is the low aspiration for being at least half-way tough, especially in terms of fighting.

Henry Halfhead is a short but very relatable adventure about what we call our lives. It’s not very long, the gameplay is mostly very basic and you can never really fail. What sounds negative is mostly positive though. The story is short, sweet and offers enough room for everyone to take away from it whatever you want and feel. The simplistic gameplay offers room for play and curiosity. I was able to relate to a lot of what Henry goes through, even if that is sometimes a bit too on the nose and by the end of it he made me think about my own life as an adventure even more.

If you are looking for a Pokémon game without combat but with atmospheric staged mystery cases and a humorously presentation, Detective Pikachu Returns could be exactly your cup of tea. Well, if it's not a problem for you, that the gameplay is mostly totally unchallenging.

Two Point Campus: School Spirits is a fun little addon to the main game. Playstyle, music, humor remains all the same and is still awesome. Sadly there is only one new campus and a new challenge to play, so after a few hours you are already done. Cool for fans of the series, not a must-buy for everyone else.

Wagotabi is a great entry point into the Japanese language, holding your hand through the first steps with playful interaction. The initial content might however be too basic for intermediate or advanced learners.

Sacred 2 Remastered successfully revives a beloved German action RPG with improved visuals, smoother controls, and modern quality-of-life features. While the gameplay and story remain unchanged, the updated interface and full controller support make returning to Ancaria more enjoyable than ever. It’s a nostalgic trip best suited for fans of classic hack-and-slash adventures rather than those seeking a modern reinvention.

Nine Noir Lives is a nearly purrfect point and click adventure from Silvernode Games. You play the cat-detective Cuddles Nutterbutter and his assistant Tabby Marshmalleow to investigate murder. Dark and fun at the same time, a bit messy here and then but overall, if you have a lot of time to resolve all the riddles, a great game.

Playing with perspective is at the core of Superliminal. While manipulating the environment has its limitations here, it is nonetheless an entertaining puzzler that forces you to see things differently than in many other puzzle games.

Gothic 2 Complete Classic finally brings a great action RPG on Switch. You can see that the original is from 2002/2003, but beside the aged technology even the presentation is still an important contribute to an intensive atmosphere. The Switch port is a good chance for fans to experience this real classic again. Series newcomers should be aware of a relatively high difficulty level and a lack of modern comfort functions.

The Occultist is a relatively short, but very varied haunted castle ride through almost every horror cliché you can imagine. It enough earnest effort and atmosphere to make the journey worthwhile, even if neither the stealth nor the puzzles really live up to their potential.

Supercross 4 is another solid entry in the popular racing genre. Its lackluster career and the fairly steep learning curve however is stopping the racing game from accelerating further.

Vampire: The Masquerade is an ambitious game from an indie development studio. The result is solid and it entertains well throughout its eight-hour runtime. First and foremost, the game world is superb. On the other hand the stealth sequences disappoint with rather fiddly controls. We sincerely hope that a patch will fix these issues.

Helldivers 2 is an excellent co-op shooter, that sadly doesn't really build on its predecessor and instead puts a lot of the original content on a live-service road map. While the core gameplay is among the best of the genre, corporate greed ironically has sunken its claws deep into Super-Earth and the premium battle pass hides some of the most fun weapons and powerful armour behind a paywall, with more to come in the future.

Knockout City is the fun version of a dodgeball game that you can only play online. Despite the easy-to-learn gameplay, beginners may quickly lose interest thanks to difficult balancing.

While Endless Dungeon can be a blast in cooperative Multiplayer, the game lacks anything truly new or outstanding for this very popular genre. The tactical mix of tower defense, strategic exploration and traditional twin-stick shooting can be entertaining, but for solo players there’s just too many better, more interesting choices to play out there. This is one to delve in deep with a friend or two!

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes mainly delivers what the developers promised. It's a mostly very classical JRPG experience with beautiful graphics and great music. But while fans of the 90's JRPGs might get anything they love about these classics here, they also get nearly everything, that they might hate about them.

Once again, developer Spiders' game falls short of being a must-have RPG, primarily due to questionable game balance. However, Greedfall: The Dying World is ultimately a decent role playing game that fans of the genre, and especially those who have previously enjoyed the work of the French studio, shouldn't miss.

If you loved „Where is waldo?” you probably gonna like Crime o’Clock as well, especially if you are a beginner in this genre. It has story, humor, some minigames, an helpful AI and some technology which keeps the frustrating part of clueless, hour-long search away. The game is fun for some hours but then it gets quite repetitive, so we recommend to not play it in one go.

Reach already stands out from most of its VR competitors by offering a full game's worth of content and variety. While the core loop of puzzling and climbing is solid and is sometimes almost too immersive for VR beginners, the combat feels lacking throughout and slows the otherwise enjoyable experience down considerably. All in all, "Reach" is an undoubtedly fun experience, but feels like it's not living up to the full potential.

Unfortunately, KoF XV is not the big revolution it could have been. The title feels more like a slightly polished version of its predecessor, albeit with somewhat less content and scope. A no-brainer for fans of the series (especially because of the rollback netcode). But those who are not enthusiasts of the franchise will probably be happier with another current representative of the genre.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a nice open world action game. But beside the great and detailed graphics there is nothing worse or better than solid. That might be enough, if you love the movies, but it's not enough to make Ubisoft's Avatar game a need to buy for action fans in general.
