With Princess Peach: Showtime! you get a game that is right up her alley. You play a fun action adventure game in the theater that is filled with variety, making it not easily boring. With accessible gameplay, it is for everyone, young and old, but this also makes the game fairly quick to finish. The difficulty level is simply too low, and the blurry image quality doesn't do much for the gaming experience either. Keep this in mind, but the main thing is that you will at least have fun with it.

Rise of the Ronin shows that Team Ninja knows perfectly well what they are doing. The game presents you with an engaging story with interesting characters where your choices affect the course. The gameplay is excellent thanks to the accessible but in-depth combat and there is plenty to experience in the game world. Only graphically the game is not very impressive compared to other PS5 exclusives, but that should not spoil the fun. Rise of the Ronin is yet another recommended game this year.

Hi-Fi Rush was an instant hit on the Xbox and PC last year, and rightfully so; it is an excellent game. This PS5 version doesn't change that. The highly entertaining combat, good humor, cool atmosphere and fine performance make it an outright winner. Game not played yet? Then we can immediately recommend Hi-Fi Rush.

The adapted story is very engaging to follow which is complemented by clever level design and good exploration gameplay. At the same time, it is not the remake it could have been, as battles lack precision, the actors lack empathy and the technical side is also far from perfect. At its core, it is an interesting title, but these shortcomings definitely do the game no favors and that is a shame.

Unicorn Overlord is a good game from Vanillaware, in which the gameplay is what counts. This is deep and tactical. In addition, the visual design is very pleasant, but the story is a bit cliché and the social aspect is a bit disappointing. These elements are influential, but fortunately do not hinder the overall gaming experience too much, so there is definitely a lot of fun to be had from the gameplay. In particular, if you really appreciate this developer, Unicorn Overlord will be right up your alley.

Pacific Drive brings something new to the survival genre and does a fine job of it in itself. It is atmospheric, at times stressful and the many ways to upgrade provide a reason to keep playing. As do the story missions. But with these positives, there are also some negatives to note. For example, the duration of each run is very unpredictable which can be inconvenient for your planning and you have to go through the same areas every time you want to achieve something new. At many times the game is also too dark, making it difficult to see what you are doing, and the very bland controls can be frustrating at times.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and honours one of the greatest RPGs of all time with another fantastic reimagination. The story is still as enticing and entertaining as it was before, but the unknown variables that this version adds to that, turn Rebirth into an entirely new adventure, even for fans of the original. There’s lots of stuff to do (fun minigames and side quests) and you won’t be bored, despite some areas being a bit too ‘empty’ from time to time and some blurry visuals. These are minor issues though, because Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a must-play in the genre.

It took far too long, but Skull and Bones is now available, and not entirely surprisingly, the game does not really impress. The title lacks a compelling story, the missions are monotonous, the animations outdated, graphically very variable and at times boring. At the same time, you can have a lot of fun with it if you play in co-op and the naval combat is really cool though. There is also plenty to do in the huge game world. Skull and Bones is a game that in itself does what it needs to do, but at the same time it is bursting with unused potential.

A remake of the original Game Boy Advance game that comes with plenty of variety in the puzzles, offers an excellent challenge and introduces fun co-op features. Nintendo delivers a solid remake that does exactly what you expect from it without really risking anything. Too bad the boss fights are not as good - more frustrating, - because that should have been the icing on the cake.

It took far too long for this game to come out, and after a very long development, games often disappoint. Not this one, as the game is full of good elements and has a fine gameplay loop. The side quests may be a bit boring and it is also not the most in-depth game. Yet that is not a big problem, as the overall gameplay experience is very enjoyable, thanks in part to the excellent soundtrack. Fan of the franchise? A must have!

Although the launch of Helldivers 2 did not go smoothly on pc, the game is worth it. The game excels in co-op, is addictive, offers fine gunplay and tremendous depth. In everything, the perfect sequel. If you liked the original, you're in the right place. Newcomer and looking for a good and fun co-op game? Then Helldivers 2 is a must have.

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden throws you an interesting dilemma. Will you go after love and renounce your oath or will you do what you swore? This issue recurs throughout the game, in which you get to work as a medieval ghostbuster. The dynamic between the two main characters is top notch, the gameplay very fun and the boss fights are unique. Too bad, however, that the performance in terms of frame rate is not stable and the variety of enemies is limited. That being said, Banishers is a fine game, definitely worth considering, but with some untapped potential.

The story of this game is really great if you are a fan of DC. Also, the fact that it is set in the Arkham universe is great, also thanks to the cool game world and beautiful presentation. So far so good, but the game's problems are the repetitive missions, the sheer chaos in battles that is counterproductive, the somewhat laborious moving through the map, sometimes cringy humor and more. The concept is cool, but has too many ifs and buts to be truly fantastic.

Tekken 8 brings everything you desire from a new game in the franchise. A fantastic story mode, lots of options, fighters and possibilities. Fine, refreshing gameplay and good online functionalities. The few minor downsides the game has are that the character customization isn't that captivating and the rollback netcode could be just a little bit better for the perfect experience. That being said, Tekken 8 is a must have.

A remake that is outstanding on every level. The pacing is nice, the combat system is good, the story is strong, graphically it is beautiful, the soundtrack is cool and the voice-acting fine. It's a shame though that the FES and Portable content is not present, because that would have really completed the package. Also, in terms of design, the dungeons can get a bit monotonous over time, but that's literally the only 'downside'. In short, Persona 3 Reload is not something you want to miss!

A new story, a new setting, new mini-games (which are games in themselves), a good balance between drama and humor, delightful combat, strong presentation.... It is a sample of the many positives of this game. Ryu Ga Gotoku delivers an excellent game that is absolutely worth playing. That the game puts New Game+ behind a paywall, however, is a shame, but fortunately it offers enough content to see past that snafu. Fan or no fan of Like a Dragon: a must have.

Two classic Nintendo games are back with a new look. The stories are still very engaging thanks to the interesting characters, now given more charisma because of good voice-acting. The puzzles are also fun but maybe a bit easy and less innovative compared with the original games. But that being said, Another Code: Recollection is a solid remake in terms of gameplay.

The combat system, the audiovisual part, the boss fights, the controls, the performance, the enemies.... Everything there is to mention about Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is excellent. This is the best Prince of Persia game to date and a brilliant addition to the genre. Fan of Metroidvanias or the Persian Prince? You must play this game.

Arizona Sunshine 2 builds on the previous installment in the best possible way. The game does not rely on a story, but rather on action, as it is a wonderful shooter that offers a lot of interactivity and fun, especially if you play together. The game has some technical sloppiness, but other than that it is an excellent adventure to experience. Do you have a VR headset? Then Arizona Sunshine 2 is worth your time.

This game dishes out an intriguing story that mixes horror and fairy tales in a fun way. There are also multiple endings to discover, which is cool, complemented by beautiful music. A game of a somewhat smaller caliber, but definitely worth a try, but be aware that the trial and error level is a bit high and the controls can be a bit cumbersome. Don't let that stop you from giving Little Goody Two Shoes a try.

A facile re-release of an older game in a new look with some new characters. The performance is also pleasant, but the rest is all mediocre. The new story mode is boring, the online functionality sucks and the English dubbing is a drama. The game also lacks any real noteworthy additions. A disappointment.

The action in Gangs of Sherwood is very fluid and smooth, making it a pleasure to experience. Especially if you play in co-op, where the variety is sufficient because the characters are so different from each other. In addition, the performance of the game is also excellent, but on the other hand, the campaign is very short, the game is not very strong visually and has the necessary glitches. It is also not very difficult, as it lacks a bit of challenge. Still some points to consider, but with that said, we can conclude that the game itself can be called fun to play.

The world you enter is beautiful and interesting, which makes it a pleasure to explore. In addition, the various gunfights are very intense and exciting, and the game has a lot of content. At the same time, it is at times very monotonous, and it is also somewhat limited in terms of variety. This makes it a title very similar to other open world games from Ubisoft, so in that respect Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is not very innovative.

Gameplay is smoother, ground combat is better and the real impact system adds a lot. Graphically it is also very strong, so in several ways it is a better game than UFC 4. At the same time, there is relatively little new in the career mode and the roster of fighters is not complete. Finally, the game suffers from occasional poor input registration and a disorientating camera, which together put a bit of a blemish on an essentially fine fighter.

NHL 24 should be an improvement over NHL 23 in several areas, but in the end it's very minimal. The new pass mechanism adds to the experience and the new animations are also an improvement. At the same time, there are now a lot of owngoals and the scores are often unrealistic. In addition, several modes have almost no innovation or improvement. Do you already own NHL 23? Stay with that one.

EA's first WRC game is a good entry. With a reasonable price and plenty of content, fans will have a great time with this. The career mode is not too special, but offers enough variety and being able to build your own car is a nice extra. In addition, the gameplay is very strong thanks to good control, but the title does suffer from performance issues and visually it is rather uneven. That said, EA Sports WRC is well worth playing.

Persona 5 Tactica excels in terms of level design and fun quests, as well as solid gameplay. With that, it's a no brainer for fans of the series to purchase the game. We should note, however, that the story lacks depth and the social aspect. The game is also a lot more compact than other parts in the series, and while that is not necessarily a bad thing, it does feel a bit less complete than we are used to.

If you are a fan of RoboCop, this title is a game that plays on the nostalgic string. The story is fine, the game is faithful to the source material, the firefights are fun and it is varied. At the same time, the game lacks real challenge, depth or speed, and it is not flawless technically either. Nevertheless, a fun title to play, especially for fans.
