    If you don’t have any particular nostalgia for either The Phantom Menace or the original release of Jedi Power Battles then this might not be for you. The controls work but are not very precise with the Jedis sometimes feeling like a tank. Oftentimes it’s very hard to hit enemies despite being almost inside of them. But it’s still a short and fun action-fueled romp through the areas of the first Prequel with the more than occasional new enemy thrown in.

    If you played Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition in an actual arcade using the enormous cabinet with all its incredible bells and whistles you’d probably have a great time. The game plays really well and is fun at its core. The problem comes with the complete lack of content and unlockable extras. Six tracks that each take about two minutes is just not enough for a game with this asking price. The unlockable cars don’t help either because they are the same cars again just with three times as many manual boosts.

    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.

    Harvest Moon One World lives up to its name and lets players travel through a world with different climate zones and challenges. There are countless plants to grow, which creates the typical farming pull very well. It would be a good game if quest givers didn't just fade away and someone would put more effort into the graphics.

    Finally a game for larger groups which is easy to connect and ready to play right away. All you need is some friends, enough space and everyone setup with a smartphone. The minigames are diversified and you can even play bingo against your granny. The game overall is a nice way of passing the time, not more not less, and makes the most fun when played in larger groups.

    Although Tennis On Court certainly has potential, in its current state of production it is nothing less than a major disappointment. Given the amount of bugs that the developers apparently failed to notice before the game's release, the community can only expect some major updates before even considering a purchase.

    Biped 2 is at its best when you are sitting in your living room with a couple of friends and are looking for a fun time with a lot of laughs and maybe some shouting over miscommunications. If you are a solo gamer, there might be some more frustrating times ahead of you.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance isn't a bad game, but it is also far away from being a good one. Probably it's a little bit better, if you play it in co-op mode with your friends, what we couldn't check yet. But we are sure also then nothing will change something about the middle-rate quality in almost any aspect.

    At the surface Crime Boss: Rockay City is nothing more than a budget clone of Payday 2. The Indie title however adds to the formula with a procedural rogue like campaign and a massively expanded singleplayer mode. While the multiplayer doesn’t really offer anything new, the singleplayer can be surprisingly captivating even if it’s a little heavy on repetition.

    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.

    Captain Blood is a piece of gaming history that has been revived and that fact alone is fascinating. Captain Blood might have been an interesting game fifteen years ago but today it is simply bad. The gameplay is never really fun and the game is plagued by so many bugs and glitches. It also sports one of the worst audio aspects in the last decade or so. And yet it is a pleasure to know that this has been released after all, that people can buy it and that we had a chance to check it out.

    The Last Oricru is undoubtedly flawed, but underneath a rough exterior and a multitude of bugs and glitches hides a videogame made with clear passion, focusing more on an engaging story with many branching paths rather than a particularly deep combat system or polished looks. The addition of local and online co-op is remarkable and while online co-op brings with it a whole new flood of potential bugs and lag, local multiplayer works remarkably well. With a few patches and the right audience that enjoys flawed but inspired games like Elex or Greedfall, this can become a diamond in the rough.

    Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash basically has everything a great anime fighting game needs. However, the essentially good ideas lack the necessary polish, which is why the title ultimately cannot realise its full potential. Simply put: its curse power is too low.

    It's heartbreaking because the project is courageous and good approaches are recognizable. However, the technical problems are hard to ignore, as is the stale gameplay. Still, we think the game is worth a look for fans of the franchise, if only because of the story.

    eFootball 2022 does show some signs of a great soccer-game after update 1.0.0. However the game remains very rough around the edges – not only on the pitch, but also when it comes to presentation.

    The PvP duels in Lost Centuria offer a lot of depth and reward players who grapple with the different monster abilities and spells, the counter mechanic, the upgrade system, the element dependencies and the setup of formations. Matchmaking also worked pretty well and the game - at least for now - allowed good progress without investing real money. It’s just a shame that story elements take a back seat here.

    Blizzard certainly achieves its goal to remaster Diablo 2. With slick graphics and solid gamepad support Diablo 2: Resurrected is a more than enjoyable action-RPG. It, however, does show weaknesses in the inventory and user-guidance that come along with the 21 year old classic.

    Dysmantle won’t surprise anyone with flashy gameplay or new and exciting ideas, instead it iterates on a long legacy of crafting and survival games and finds ways to improve almost all core aspects of that popular genre. Despite combat often being in the way of enjoying the exploration and the puzzle-like exploration of the various nooks and crannies, the game can entertain for many hours thanks to its sprawling map and exciting secrets. Especially at its low price and with the option for local multiplayer, this game is one of the first highlights of 2022.

    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.

    Two Point Hospital Speedy Recovery is the seventh expansion to the crazy hospital simulator. Its fast, funny but also a bit stressful. The animation of the cars and new diseases are fun to watch, and for fans its a nice extension of the game.

    Kombinera is an absolute no brainer for puzzle fans. It offers more variety than the simplistic appearance initially suggests and will entertain you for many hours with its 300 levels.

    Voodoo Detective is a love letter to the adventure games of the late 80s and early 90s, especially the Monkey Island franchise. Of course it shines with great voice acting as well as HD graphics, but at the same time the presentation, dialogues and puzzles themselves still feel like a wonderful throwback to that golden age of adventure gaming. If you have any interest in the genre, you simply cannot miss Voodoo Detective.

    While the puzzling might seem simplistic at first, the game introduces quite a few mechanics throughout the levels to keep you, well, hooked. Minimalistic style, well designed challenges and the introduction of three-dimensional puzzles should keep genre-fans engaged.

    Netflix continues to put out great games in the App Store. While Into the Breach is a port of an existing game, it is absolutely one worth playing with its addicting gameplay loop and tactical depth. It's a bit of a cult classic for a reason, and now you can (and should) play it on iPhone and iPad.

    Whether it's the puzzle design, the presentation or the background story, the third entry in the House of Da Vinci franchise delivers just like its predecessors did. If you are interested in puzzle games at all, you need to play The House of Da Vinci 3.

    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 developers behind Golf Peaks once again show what they are capable of. Railbound manages to engross the player through its playful graphical stile as well as through its clever puzzles. If you are yearning for a fun puzzle game and don’t hate trains, don’t miss Railbound.

    While dealing with themes like death and having to say goodbye, Spiritfarer Netflix Edition is a very relaxing game that lets you just enjoy the journey while it lasts and dive into its atmosphere and the stories it has to tell.

    The mix of its timeless presentation and clever little puzzles makes Old Man's Journey plus a trip worth visiting even five years after it first released.
