    My Hero Academia: All's Justice
    A great game for those that know the series, but confusing for others. The 3-on-3 tagteam battlesystem works well and the roster is diverse. The game suffers from some difficulty inconsistencies. All in all, it doesn't rise above the competition.

    Mario Tennis Fever
    Latest iteration of a long running series doesn't entirely know whether to go for realistic tennis play or full party mode. The Fever rackets and courts are a welcome deviation from the norm.

    Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    Same Samus, different world means Beyond is a fine combination between everything that makes Metroid games great, with some much needed additions. The open world addition isn't really that great, but the play with new psi-powers and bike keep the gameplay fresh.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
    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.

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

    Kirby Air Riders
    Released on the tail of Mario Kart, this combat racer firmly stands its ground with a wide variety of races, battles, party-games and more. Its simple controls unlock unexpected complex strategies not seen in its moustache-man led competition.

    Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
    Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment delivers stellar action, a story that bridges the gaps left in Tears of the Kingdom, and runs great on Switch 2, but the repetitive nature of the musou-genre works against it occasionally.

    The Outer Worlds 2
    The Outer Worlds 2 is back with a healthy dose of humour and social commentary. The game doesn't really make waves in its visuals or gameplay, but the world is fun to explore and the companions fill the game with character. The new flaws also make it so every character build is different. Definitely worth the trip to Arcadia.

    FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    Experience anew the tactical RPG masterpiece with enhanced visuals, voice acting, and epic battles. Lead your army through the rich world of Ivalice.

    Dying Light: The Beast
    Raw, dark and full of thrills, this is exactly what you would expect from the series, and more. Crane is back with a vengeance and we are along for the ride. Nighttime is truly fearful, while beastmode gives some much appreciated respite. Some technical difficulties keep the game from greatness.

    Pac-Man World 2: Re-PAC
    A nostaglic Pac-Man remake that adds modern graphics, new quality of life elements, while keeping the humor and gameplay of the original alive.

    Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    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.

    Battlefield 6
    With Battlefield 6 the shooter has returned to the glory days of the franchise. With excellent gameplay, spectacular multiplayer and limitless possibilities in the improved Portal mode, Battlefield Studios has delivered on all promises made. The singleplayer campaign is a bit lackluster, but it doesn't detract much from this exceptional shooter.

    Little Nightmares III
    Little Nightmares 3 delivers a thrilling new chapter in the eerie universe of The Nowhere. The game feels fresh yet familiar, plays smoothly, and keeps you on the edge of your seat with tense, unsettling moments. Local co-op is missing and some objectives are unclear, but the chilling new nightmares more than make up for it.

    Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2
    Nintendo has brought two unique games to the Switch with Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, titles that should have been polished much earlier. Despite Nintendo’s magic, signs of aging are occasionally noticeable, but overall, it’s once again a delight on the Switch. The games look great and let you hop between planets with smooth, effortless gameplay.

    Lost Soul Aside
    A game that borrows heavily from the FF series, Devil May Cry and Stellar Blade, but forgets to keep telling its story. A strong start is followed by what resembles a boss rush full of spectacle but lacks in finesse. Mostly enjoyable, as long as you don't expect a FF contender.

    Ghost of Yotei
    Ghost of Yotei improves the solid foundation built by Ghost of Tsushima. With the stunning Ezo region there's a whole lot of diversity in both activities and beautiful locations, while Atsu's revenge tale is great throughout.

    EA Sports FC 26
    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.

    Platypus Reclayed
    Platypus Reclayed brings back the beloved clay-crafted shooter with a colorful modern makeover, offering fast-paced co-op action and a playful nostalgic feel.

    Hirogami
    Hirogami combines Japanese origami art with magical 3D platforming, creating a world that feels both delicate and enchanting. Clever transformation mechanics keep puzzles and challenges fresh, though the camera can sometimes frustrate. Despite small flaws, it’s a creative and charming indie worth exploring.

    Borderlands 4
    Borderlands 4 is for the most part a big step forward. The gameplay feels better than ever, the Vault Hunters have much more personality and you get tons of movement upgrades. The world however is not as diverse as previous games, the structure of the story makes it feels a lot smaller and Gearbox hasn't yet mastered the technical side of the game. Hopefully the technical problems can be fixed before launch.

    Cronos: The New Dawn
    An enjoyable experience with a nice story, but the horror-aspect is a bit lacking. The ambience makes up for a lot of small inconveniences, resulting in a worthwhile game for those who are looking for a somewhat spooky experience.

    Hell is Us
    Hell Is Us uses its magical setting to show us the cruelty of man in a realistic way. The brutal world has a central mystery that's worth unravelling, while the game shows us how small kindnesses can make a big difference when everything seems hopeless. The combat, while slick, is a bit on the easy side, which can be a bit jarring. But despite that, it still manages to feel good.

    The Rogue Prince of Persia
    Rogue Prince of Persia may lack depth in its story, but the roguelite gameplay shines. Blending classic wall runs and acrobatics with a Dead Cells twist, it delivers fast, stylish combat and exploration. Hours vanish as you carve through enemies, making this a thrilling, addictive return for the prince.

    Gears of War: Reloaded
    While it's great that the game is finally crossing over to the PlayStation platform, the game in itself brings only small improvements over the previous Ultimate version. Being only part one of three, we cannot really recommend the game, but hope The Coalition corrects this with a full trilogy.

    Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World
    Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World is a great 3D platformer made better thanks the technical upgrades, and story expansion. Star-Crossed World offers fresh levels in every area of the original game that are a joy to play through, even though some criticism from the original release still remain.

    Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate
    With a mediocre story, and infuriating new mechanics, The Edge of Fate makes it clear that Destiny 2’s best days are behind it. With many softlocks and glitches to boot, the new expansion is simply a big old mess.

    RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business
    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.

    Shadow Labyrinth
    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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mafia: The Old Country
    Hangar 13 didn't reinvent the wheel with Mafia: The Old Country. Instead it goes back to the roots of the franchise and of the mafia, with a cinematic adventure in Sicily. The story and gameplay all feel familiar, but the execution is strong, partly due to the strong cast and memorable characters. The game does suffer from some glitches, but that doesn't ruin the fun. The Old Country feels like an 11-hour long mobster movie, with excellent pacing.
