Rayman returns in a nostalgic anniversary platformer celebrating 30 years, bringing classic gameplay back with surprisingly challenging levels and retro charm.

If you were to compare this game to a zombie movie, it's the game version of a decent popcorn flick. Not a revolutionary title that will blow you away, but more like Expendables with zombies. Popcorn, friends online, and a few evenings of mindless fun. Sometimes that's just what you need.

As Activision’s popular franchise keeps sinking away in quicksand, Black Ops 7 presents a new low for the shooter. The campaign is absolutely horrendous, as is the new mode Endgame. Aside from removing skill-based matchmaking, multiplayer offers nothing new or exciting. At the very least, Zombies is still good for countless hours of fun, but it really acts as a crutch for Treyarch in Black Ops 7.

A bytesized LEGO game that diverges from the more traditional TT Games format. Brighly colored, coop and cute, but a bit short.

Where Legends: Arceus focused on collecting, Legends: Z-A does the same for the combat system. Complemented by a fantastic soundtrack and a wealth of customization options, you're completely free to choose your own path in Lumiose City. Except for the slow opening hours, where the story requires patience before you can truly explore Lumiose City to your heart's content.

EA Sports FC 26 delivers on a lot of promises made by EA Sports. Gameplay in particular has seen some much needed improvements and feels a lot better than its predecessors, but there is still a lot of work to be done. The various modes get a lot of new features, but it remains disappointing that pay-to-win is still a big part of the beloved Ultimate Team mode.

While more of RoboCop: Rogue City is definitely welcome, this stand alone follow-up cannot reach the same heights as the original. Mostly confined to the corridors of the Omnitower, it lacks the finesse of roaming the streets of Old Detroit. Exchanging the joys of ticketing an ill-parked car for a splatterfest, Unfinished Business resembles a continuous shooting range a bit too much.

While the combination of metroidvania platforming and Pac-Man provides an interesting concept, the execution leaves something to desire. The inaccurate attacks, sparse save points and lack of direction, combined with irregular difficulty spikes, hinder the game more than they should.

Blades of Fire combines and enriches the Soulslike and RPG formulas with some new ideas and mechanics that are both welcome and frustrating. While the game looks great and diverse, the gameplay doesn't always work out as well.

This upgraded edition features sharp 4K visuals and makes smart use of Switch 2 hardware like the camera and Joy-Con 2. New modes such as Bowser Live and Carnival Coaster are fun but feel more like tech demos due to their lack of depth. The core Mario Party gameplay is still strong, with new team-based and chaos-driven rule sets adding variety. It's a great choice for newcomers, but returning players may find limited value without full hardware support.

While Ruffy and the Riverside has a very fun mechanic at its core, the overall experience is a little underbaked due to poor combat, boss battles, and some technical flaws.

There is some fun to be had with Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, particularly for trivia enthusiasts and aspiring engineers. Unfortunately, the game can become quite a slog as it goes on, especially as its minigames are very hit or miss.

Elden Ring Nightreign departs a lot from the usual FromSoftware formula, which doesn’t always work out. From a hasty experience to boss fights you can’t learn from, it can often be frustrating. The mechanics are solid however and it might tap into a whole new audience.

Mandragora is an interesting Metroidvania Soulslike that uses a skill tree to switch gameplay up. Some bugs and repetitive bosses sometimes dampen the experience, but the excellent gameplay is worth exploring.

While the story and exploration in Atomfall feel refreshing and rewarding, the action and gameplay often feel like filler holding the experience back. It’s a promising mix of ingredients, but one that struggles to keep up with modern titles.

The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle delivers a nostalgic experience with the original games, offering classic gameplay and charm. However, its technical limitations make it better suited for long-time fans rather than newcomers.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD offers a fairly straightforward update of the original game: it is simply in HD. That means that all of its best platforming goodness is untouched, but it also means that some of the more frustrating aspects of the game remain as present as before. In that sense, the update is perhaps bare-bones.

What it ultimately comes down to with EA Sports FC 25 is that the game is more of the same from what we've had in recent years from the EA Sports quiver.The game is still plagued by age-old bugs and glitches, still has weird inconsistencies when it comes to gameplay and continues to have a complete imbalance between defending and attacking.

The most unnecessary remake of this generation. While the graphics have improved, the controls have not improved at all and feel sluggish. Skip this one and enjoy the much cheaper original version.

Overty ambitious, but marred by glitches and lack of polish, this game borrows many elements from famous games in history with some new ideas. The setting is great, but the scope seems too big for a debut title. Hopefully this isn't the last we've seen from this new universe.

Especially if you are already a fan of Life is Strange, Double Exposure is worth playing. It will stir up emotions in you again, and your feelings will go in all directions. Max is still the Max we love, although this is not always a plus.

Are you ready to rumble? The Karate Kid Street Rumble is a decent beat 'em up game with a coop function up to four players. This is how you are going to be a real karate kid.

While the story is still its strongest selling point, The game doesn't quite feel at home on the Switch five years after it's original release. With framedrops, technical limitations and game breaking bugs, this is the least polished version available.

Despite being out for nearly a decade, The Sims 4: Lovestruck has rung me back in again, even after all these years. It’s refreshing to see the characters become more lifelike, in which gameplay takes a unique turn.

Sand Land is a fine game, thanks to a fun story and a loveable cast of characters. The gameplay is just a bit too simple at times, while some frustrating design choices can leave you frustrated at certain points.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is everything you don't want from a live-service looter shooter. Even though the gameplay is alright, the diversity in the missions is almost non-existent, which makes the game very monotone and bland. The characters and story did get a few laughs out of me and proves that Rocksteady still has some worthwhile stories to tell, but in the end it's not enough to keep me going for endless hours.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a successful movie adaptation in the sense that it offers very smooth gameplay and a beautiful world to explore. It's also a very rewarding experience to explore Pandora. When you are fighting the RDA or making your way through the world, you feel very much a Na'vi, but all the local terminology can be very confusing. Unfortunately, frequent framedrops and crashes somewhat spoiled our experience on PC, preventing the game from delivering the magical experience it could have.

Chou-chou is at it again after conquering the seven planets in her universe, she sets out to conquer the next universe. But while she's at it she hits a SNAFU and now is dependent on the ditzy Ultimate God Syrma and local hero Nao to do so.
