Everybody's Golf is a nice pastime for the next train ride, while the television is on, or to avoid conversations at family gatherings.

Cronos: The New Dawn captivates with its atmospheric atmosphere, deliberate use of light and darkness, and terrifying enemy designs. However, the intense action significantly diminishes the horror experience.

Hell is Us impresses with its symbolism, its dark world, and its free exploration, but it still has a lot of room for improvement in terms of optimization and enemy design.

A solid and (hopefully) definitive remake of an action classic that can't hide its age.

Helldivers can also show off all its strengths on the Xbox - that's how it should be.

Cute, fun, and now even smoother: Kirby has made the jump to the Switch 2 very well.

A loving remake of an absolute classic, tailor-made for everyone who loved it back in the day. For newcomers, this means they'll have to get used to many quirks, but the nostalgia trip is rewarding for both parties: It contains moments that have made gaming history.

A nostalgic remake of the popular original, but one that deserved more detail in some places.

An enchanting adventure that lacks nothing except a little more playtime.

With its charming pixelated look and a great sound design, Discounty is a welcome change from the many farming sims.

Many reissues, such as the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection, come with fun extras. For example, behind-the-scenes videos, making-of anecdotes, a collection of artwork, or a cool glossary with background information. None of these can be found in Dawn of War: Definitive Edition.

Drag x Drive isn't a bad game—quite the opposite: The creative mouse controls are a bold move that lends virtual wheelchair basketball a unique feel. Especially in the first few hours, the mix of precision, tactics, and physical activity is captivating. But this very unique selling point becomes a hindrance in the long run.

Great graphics, but the gameplay behind it still has room for improvement.

Hellblade 2 is also very impressive on the PS5, especially with the new performance mode.

Mafia: The Old Country successfully builds on the winning formula of the first two installments in the series. It places its gripping narrative and fantastic characters at the center of an adventure that is exciting from start to finish. With a successful mix of stealth, brutal action, and quiet moments, time flew by for us. We can therefore highly recommend a trip to 1900s Sicily and the beginnings of the honorable family to every Mafia fan.

Tales of the Shire feels like an unfinished beta version. It lacks detail, depth, and, above all, sound. A lot of wasted potential.

Adventures can be so cool: The Drifter is an exciting pulp thriller with a great atmosphere.

Ragebound's main appeal lies in its interesting and challenging boss battles. Beyond that, however, the game makes little effort to offer us anything new.

Birdigo is a well-designed, entertaining mix of Wordle and roguelike games such as Balatro and Slay the Spire. While not mechanically extensive, it's engaging to play and comes with a charming birds' migration theme.

Classic Mario Party with interesting twists and fun new modes. Jamboree TV on the Switch 2 brings even more entertaining new features, though the base game doesn't benefit from the higher resolution.

The Definitive Edition of Stronghold Crusader rounds out the game in many aspects. Only the outdated technology and the high difficulty level may put off newcomers. Overall, however, it's a good remaster of the classic.

With Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, the wheel hasn't exactly been reinvented, but it's certainly been well-oiled! It takes the popular Souls formula and adds some useful innovations that make the action a bit more action-packed and fast-paced. Souls fans shouldn't miss this game.

Let Them Trade blends the cozy charm of board games with city-building strategy in a relaxed, visually rich experience. Inspired by classics like Catan and Anno, players create cities, manage production chains, and guide trade across a handcrafted, hex-tile world. With a lighthearted campaign, peaceful pacing, and a satisfying resource economy, the game offers an ideal entry point for newcomers and a chill break for veteran strategy fans. Despite minor weaknesses—such as lackluster combat and no multiplayer—it excels as a compact, feel-good builder that values calm over complexity.

We highly recommend the lovingly crafted adventure of Hanna and her friends. The developers have impressively achieved what they set out to do with their debut work. Depending on how you play, the eight chapters of the game take around ten to twelve hours to complete. They are packed with an emotional narrative and exciting stealth puzzles.

Donkey Kong: Bananza surprises with creative ideas, a powerful destruction feature, and a sense of exploration that's strongly reminiscent of Super Mario Odyssey—without simply copying it. Anyone who enjoys charming 3D platformers with a collecting focus, clever level design, and gameplay freedom will find a real treat here. While the adventure isn't entirely free of technical weaknesses and some boss battles are a bit too easy, the bottom line is that Donkey Kong: Bananza delivers exactly what it promises: a fun, unusually deep, and atmospherically strong adventure—not just for die-hard DK fans.

Anyone who enjoys arcade skateboarding in the style of the early 2000s will be delighted with the remake of parts three and four. The adaptation of the fourth part to the basic structure of the first three is a bit of a shame, but not dramatic. The adapted parks, as in parts 1 and 2, are very well done and have been wonderfully expanded by the community. Even newcomers will quickly shred their first combos and enjoy the game.

Broken Arrow is currently a diamond in the rough with plenty of gameplay charm, but it still needs a fair bit of fine-tuning to truly sparkle. However, the developer update from June 30, 2025, gives us confidence that the developers have recognized the challenges and will address them promptly.

Persona 5 does so much more than just look stylish. Aside from the gacha system, The Phantom X fails to capture the core of the series.
