Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is a charming but short action RPG that is particularly appealing due to its nostalgia factor and the detailed realisation of the Nickelodeon worlds. The varied dungeons, the characters' abilities true to the series and the many Easter eggs make it a little highlight, especially for fans of the 2000s childhood heroes.

Tales of the Shire is not a game that overwhelms with mechanics, tells spectacular twists and turns or keeps players enthralled for hours. And that is precisely its greatest strength. It is a feel-good game through and through for a short holiday in the Shire, where you can simply forget about everyday life. The relaxed atmosphere, the lovingly designed world and the focus on the simple life of the hobbits make for a pleasantly decelerated gaming experience. Anyone who enjoys collecting, gardening, cooking and decorating will quickly feel at home here. However, the game often only scratches the surface in terms of content: the quests are simple, the inventory is too small and the potential in some areas of gameplay unfortunately remains unutilised.

Killing Floor 3 offers a technically solid and graphically appealing basis for an intense co-op shooter experience. The survival mode for up to six players ensures exciting battles against monstrous zeds and the new weapon system brings tactical depth to the game. However, the current lack of content, especially the small number of bosses and game modes, significantly limits long-term motivation.

Zombie Army VR has the potential to be an exciting co-op shooter in virtual reality and does a lot of things right, especially in solo mode. However, some technical and gameplay weaknesses spoil the overall picture, especially in co-op mode! Arena battles that are too long, unfair ammunition, balancing problems and frequent disconnections with loss of progress are real gameplay killers.
