Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is a worthy successor that refines and expands on the strengths of its predecessor. The combat is more fluid and responsive, the music and voice acting impress, and the visual style is breathtaking. Unfortunately, some of the new additions are disappointing, with the grappling hook and monster hunting feeling like hindrances rather than improvements. The game offers both players looking for an impressive adventure game and a challenging soulslike a fun experience that can easily take up 20 hours. As long as you set the difficulty correctly!

The soundtrack deserves special praise. With a mix of EDM, industrial metal and other electronic styles, each track fits the gameplay perfectly. It is incredibly fun to switch between songs via the cassette player. You can even switch music during a run if you feel like the music doesn't fit the level or weapons. Robobeat is therefore a welcome addition to the PS5 game catalog. Dual-wielding two guns that are completely different from each other works like a charm. You can earn a lot of extras here and you don't feel like you have to grind endlessly to unlock something new. With four different levels and an art style that is very similar, the game unfortunately doesn't offer much visual diversity. The large amount of cool songs, weapons and power-ups specifically ensure that you come back to play a "short" level.

Fantasian: Neo Dimension isn’t for everyone. The game is dated in style and structure, and the visual presentation may turn some off. But for fans of classic JRPGs, this is an absolute must-have. With a strong story and solid gameplay loop, Sakaguchi’s team has once again delivered a game that will stand the test of time. It may not be groundbreaking, but it does remind us of what made the genre so great back in the day.

With its exaggerated cartoon style, chaotic gameplay, and nods to classic platformers, Antonblast manages to leave a unique impression. It may lack some finesse in the controls and technical support, but the combination of nostalgia and original ideas makes it a title worth checking out. If you enjoyed the recently released and equally insane Pizza Tower, then chances are that Antonblast will also appeal to you. The demo is available on Steam now, so give it a try and see if this wild rollercoaster is for you.

Nairi: Rising Tide is a solid successor to Tower Of Shirin. The graphic style now contains even more details and the story and the world contain a lot of depth for a game with childish characters. The puzzles are cleverly designed and the various tools are used cleverly here. It is therefore a great pity that the story is sometimes quite difficult to follow and the dialogues are on the long side. In any case, the makers know how to end the games in an exciting way and it makes us curious about what the next part will bring us.

Lego Horizon Adventures is a fun outing that combines two cool things. Familiar Horizon characters, machines and locations are designed in LEGO style. The family-friendly jokes, dialogues and interactions between the four heroes make it an entertaining tribute to Horizon's original storyline. Graphically, the Lego games are starting to look a lot like the Lego Movies and that is a big compliment. However, the limited freedom, the lack of puzzles and the repetition in the levels will be a loss for some Horizon and Lego fans.

Monarchy tries to recreate the magic of Kingdom Two Crowns, but only partially succeeds. For fans of the genre it can offer a nice change of pace, but ultimately it feels like a lesser copy that fails to convince with its own well-thought-out content. Kingdom Two Crowns remains the undisputed king of this genre and proves that a game that is well-finished and thoughtfully designed has much more to offer than a game that merely tries to follow in its footsteps.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a triumphant return for the series, combining compelling storytelling, intricate character interactions, and action-packed combat into an RPG that feels both fresh and timeless. The game plays to BioWare’s strengths, creating an adventure that will keep fans and newcomers busy for dozens of hours. The world is super cool, and the regions all look completely different. The story is top-notch, the presentation is of an extremely high quality, and the combat is deep and tactical. It’s a shame that the dialogues won’t be equally interesting to every player.

Vendetta Forever shows that anyone can be a bad action hero. It is an action game with sixty missions that remains fun for a long time, as long as you do it in short sessions. It is a shame that the game can often be frustratingly difficult and the lesser finishing in certain areas can sometimes cause confusion. The game will not win any Oscars, but that is often not the case with action films.

All in all, Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a cool combination of relaxation and collecting various items. The game looks super cool. With strong characters, fun side missions and a new large area, this successor not only knows how to entertain, but also lets you relax. Despite the fact that the story lacks some depth here and there, it is a game with a lot of charm. It knows how to translate the adventures of the cheeky Shin Chan in a great way into a cool game.

Wilmot Works It Out is a creative sequel to Wilmot's Warehouse. It takes the soothing feeling of sliding blocks and gives it a creative twist to create something new. The perfect controls from the first game are directly carried over here and work even better. The different paintings that you have to puzzle together each time are creative, original and cleverly resemble each other, which provides just the right amount of challenge each time. This makes Wilmot Works It Out a nice addition to the Wilmot series and hopefully even more players will discover the simple but cool adventures of the square block Wilmot.

Hidden in my Paradise has all the makings of a charming, relaxing experience on the surface, but its small levels and frustrating controls make it hard to enjoy. While the game offers some neat ideas, like decorating worlds and sharing levels with other players, it fails to execute these ideas well. For fans of hidden object games, the Hidden Through Time series is a much more appealing option, with larger, more challenging levels and more polished gameplay. If you’re looking for a relaxing treasure hunt without a lot of repetition, this is a better place to start.

Just Dance 2025 is without a doubt the best version in the series so far. With every update the game gets more and more content and possibilities. The addition of the phone camera as a controller, all songs in one game, and the expansion of Just Dance+ to more than 300 songs makes this the most complete dance experience. With 40 new ones it is a party for both new and loyal fans. The 2025 edition is the version with the least number of new options. You really buy this version for the new songs. If this is the first time you come into contact with the Just Dance series, then this is the version to see if the series is something for you.

Building on the strong foundation the developers laid with Gris, Neva once again impresses with an emotionally charged story, beautiful visual presentation, and a captivating soundtrack. The game combines challenging platforming with simple yet satisfying puzzles and combat, all centered around the partnership between Alba and her growing wolf. While the pace could have been a little quicker for some players, the breathtaking art style makes every moment feel like a living painting. The few drawbacks, such as the repetitive death sounds and occasionally frustrating save points, do little to detract from the overall picture. Neva is a beautifully crafted game that not only challenges your skill as a player, but also touches your emotions. It is an interactive art experience that shows how powerful the medium can be, both in terms of gameplay and storytelling.

The game Metal: Hellsinger VR should have been my next favorite title on the PSVR2. Shooting demons to the beat of hard metal should be super cool, but the result is very mediocre. Visually, the PSVR2 has had to give in the most compared to the PC and Meta version. The game also contains only a small number of levels, which means you can finish the game in a few hours. The levels and weapons are not really inspiring to play each level multiple times. You really notice here that the game did not start out as a VR title, the weapons and interactions do not work well at all. Visually, this is also one of the lesser games I have played lately. It sounded so good, but the execution of Metal: Hellsinger VR could really use some autotune.

Sugar Mess – Let's Play Jolly Battle VR is a snack you would like to enjoy, but the result leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The visual presentation in the menu gives you the feeling that you can expect a lot of beautiful things, but every mini-game is extremely disappointing. The weapons do not feel good, the enemies are unfair and some levels are even boring. The music, bosses and puzzle levels do not provide variety in a game where you have already seen everything after an hour. This is not the PSVR2 game you want to buy for the whole family.

Besiege for the Nintendo Switch is a port of the perfected PC version from four years ago. The chaos, fun and crazy challenges are just as fun on the Nintendo Switch as they are on the PC. The game works great in handheld mode with the touchscreen and is the perfect way to play the game on the go. It looks neat, runs smoothly and the controls are nice and intuitive. It is a shame that the many extras, expansions, multiplayer and community content are completely missing here. This would have made the port even better than the PC version.

The game contains few frustrations. The art style is delightfully French and the focus on exploring a world full of mysteries is a fresh approach. Caravan SandWitch quickly manages to put a smile on your face. It helps that there are no fights, you can't die and there is no time pressure. It is still strange to jump from enormous heights without suffering any consequences. The finish is high, the climbing and the gadgets including your camper work neatly and are well used in the world. It is therefore a shame that especially the camera, the glitches and the unnecessary crashing of your camper make the fun a little less. But I have every confidence that the makers will solve this. If you are looking for mystery, a holiday to the French countryside or simply want to try out a great new game from a new developer, then you are in the right place.

Astro Bot takes the great inventive approach of the demo games and takes it to new heights. The result is fantastic and beautifully packaged in a full game with lots of surprises for Playstation fans. The game sounds nice and cheerful and looks fantastic. The game makes full use of all the features of the Playstation 5, game design is of the highest quality and the special powers are fresh and innovative. Astro Bot is a must-have for any Playstation 5 owner and it hasn't been since the Playstation 2 that Playstation has shown Nintendo how to make a 3D platformer.

Gundam Breaker 4 is a game with a clear focus. Building lots of robots and sharing them with other players. This can be done based on specifications or the visual spectacle of a diorama. The storyline and missions quickly become repetitive and mainly serve to provide an arena to try out your creation. It is therefore a pity that the game does not visually achieve the spectacle and presentation of the anime series. This is not a game that you buy for the battles, but to share your passion for building Gunpla with others and Gundam Breaker 4 offers a nicely extensive platform for this.
