Emotional, varied and sometimes wonderfully crazy: Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a real action role-playing monster that offers exactly the virtues that series fans expect.

Tekken 8 takes everything that made its predecessors so popular and takes it to a whole new level.

Exciting and funny at the same time: A successful collection whose games are still entertaining today.

A game that sometimes leaves you perplexed by some bizarre decisions, but is developed with so much love that you can hardly be mad at it.

The Cub would have needed a lot more meat on its bones to leave a lasting impression. There is barely any time to immerse yourself in the game world or characters and gameplay remains rudimentary.

In addition to the graphical adaptations to the new hardware, the developers at Naughty Dog have also thought about how they can further enhance the remaster. The excursion into the game's development history alone is an exciting new experience. The roguelike mode offers many hours of additional fun for anyone who wants to push the game's combat system to the limit. The actual story campaign remains an exciting experience of a special kind anyway.

The Switch version of The Lost Crown is a quality release, with a smooth framerate and very little compromises compared to the other versions. It's easily one of the best metroidvanias on the system and a fantastic comeback for both Ubisoft Montpellier and the Prince of Persia franchise.

The new Prince of Persia is a first-class metroidvania that just keeps getting better the longer we play.

The Lost Crown is exactly what the franchise needed. An incredible comeback for both Prince of Persia and Ubisoft Montpellier.

War Hospital boasts a unique concept that suffers from mediocre execution. You will feel the pressure that its main characters are under, but the game lacks a meaningful, emotional connection to your staff and patients. This leads to you only managing them based on stats and robs the game of the moral complexity it clearly wants to portray. Add a repetitive gameplay loop and a game breaking bug fixable only by frequent saving and loading, and War Hospital becomes a game that makes you miserable in all the wrong ways.

In the second DLC you can expect unusually challenging fights and a lot of activity, but also a weak plot and the usual technical problems.

House Flipper 2 is a good simulator. How technically accurate the game is remains to be seen. But it creates an almost meditative calm when cleaning up. So if you want to really relax after a long day at work and give your head a little emptiness, you will find your personal therapy with House Flipper 2.

Bombastic fun: The Finals cannot be categorized as an online shooter. And that is really refreshing.

Challenging, extremely good and incredibly exciting: For 30 euros, Against the Storm offers more than most full-price strategy games, making it one of the indie hits of 2023.

Solid, if somewhat short, expansion. The highlight is the massive boss fight at the end.

The Day Before sets new negative standards - the gaming disaster of the year! [Early Access Score = 1/10]

Baldur’s Gate 3 is the masterpiece every RPG fan has been hoping for and so much more. The playful freedom, the great characters, the first-class narrative, the satisfying combat system are unparalleled and merge in perfect harmony to create a real work of art.

Pandora looks inviting but turns out to be nothing but nice décor with which we can barely interact in meaningful ways. The gameplay on the other hand primarily consists of missions and mechanics that do not respect the audience’s time and simply aren’t fun.

Roots of Pacha is a cozy farming and life simulation at the dawn of humanity. There are cute animals, great NPCs and a lot to explore, discover or develop. The successful Stone Age simulation, with only a few stumbling blocks, makes a Stardew Valley heart beat faster.

In the port for Nintendo Switch, Gothic 2 shows its best side and offers one of the best opportunities to catch up on the role-playing classic.

While the Switch version lacks some visual fidelity, the gameplay is every bit as fun as on the other platforms. Steamworld Build is a short, highly approachable city builder with polished mechanics and charming ideas. It might be too simple for expert players, but offers a great entry point for newcomers.

A charming city builder with polished gameplay and fun, approachable mechanics. If you are new to the genre, this would be a great entry point, even though the game is rather short and offers not much replay value.

Flashback (1993) remains untouched: Unfortunately, this sequel is also doomed to failure, although it tries to remain faithful to its predecessor.

The summarized story of previous titles, an optional, easier control scheme and lots of stuff to collect make Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections a solid entry point for beginners. Everyone else is better off waiting for Ninja Storm 5, watching the anime or reading the manga again.

There is no total catastrophe and Hogwarts Legacy has actually found its way onto the Switch. However, the world is no longer really open, the game struggles with performance and huge compromises had to be made graphically.

A lovely remake that really captures what made the original Mario RPG so special in the first place. So much, in fact, that it can feel quite outdated sometimes. But if you really want the SNES experience with prettier presentation and some quality-of-life improvements, this is the best version yet.

The game's lacking the heart and soul of the other titles set in the universe of Persona 5. Fans of the series can still enjoy it because of the beloved characters and the entertaining combat system.

The Definitive Edition offers Stronghold in its purest, most beautiful and best form to date. Unfortunately, the remaster is only “good” and not the ultimate gaming experience promised.
