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.
