At roughly three to four hours long, depending on your playstyle and skill level, the scope of the new content is also appropriate. Therefore, we're giving it a slightly higher rating than the original Switch version. It remains a truly enjoyable, feel-good platformer—but ultimately, the Switch 2 version doesn't quite deliver a massive leap forward in gameplay.

With "Shinobi: Art of Vengeance," Lizardcube has created an excellent 2D action-platformer with a great combat system and cool platforming, featuring some pretty tough scenes at times but ultimately always remaining fair.

Similar to the Metroidvania spin-off "The Lost Crown," "The Rogue Prince of Persia" is far more than just a nice consolation prize to bridge the wait for a "real" sequel to the "Prince of Persia" series. If you like the genre, you can confidently buy it!

Those willing to play online will certainly enjoy "Drag x Drive" for several hours at a truly bargain price, especially since you don't even necessarily need an optimal setup; you can play perfectly well even with the Joy-Cons on your thighs. However, "Drag x Drive" is unlikely to achieve the long-term motivation of "Rocket League" for most players due to the comparatively limited customization options.

But anyone who enjoys narratively strong action games with cinematic staging can pick this up with a clear conscience. Series fans might not be impressed, but they'll be satisfied with a really good "Mafia."

We might have liked "Wuchang: Fallen Feathers" a little more if the introduction hadn't been so mixed. After the first boss, however, the game improves considerably, offering pleasantly fast-paced, powerful action, largely successful level design, cool bosses, and a motivating progression system.

The new features are definitely a nice bonus, even if they can only add a limited amount of extra fun to the already high level of gameplay. Therefore, our overall rating remains unchanged compared to the original Switch version, although the scope is slightly expanded.

With "Shadow Labyrinth," Bandai Namco delivers a solid Metroidvania that scores highly both in terms of gameplay and atmosphere—more or less regardless of its unusual combination with the "Pac-Man" series.

Not only does the game look great and once again shine with a charming and detailed setting, but above all, it's incredibly powerful in terms of gameplay. Even if we could just smash half the world, we'd have tons of fun.

However, we like the story itself even better, especially due to the once again high-quality production and the often philosophical references to the real world. We won't spoil anything for you, of course, but the finale is even more moving than that of the first part and leaves us with a good feeling about this unusual and unusually good action-adventure, which should definitely find its way onto your PS5 if you enjoyed the predecessor even a little bit!

The mission design also scores points for variety, but not with great gameplay diversity, but rather by piling up one absurdity after another. Whether the controls are intentionally poorly designed to produce as much chaos as possible remains to be seen. But it is so bad (in the car!) that it can easily become a fun-killer for some gamers in the long run.

"Blades of Fire" surprised us in a very positive way. After the dubious prologue, we would have guessed it would be mediocre, but the game quickly picks up pace and improves with almost every hour of play.

If atmosphere is more important to you than gameplay, and the experience is more important to you than straightforward game mechanics, "Spirit of the North 2" could be just the thing for you. Fans of the predecessor can confidently buy this.

With the remastered version, Sony has given the open-world action in "Days Gone" a successful facelift.

However, anyone who appreciates challenging platforming in Metroidvanias and isn't afraid to delve deeper into some of the features than is typical for the genre will definitely have fun with "Inayah: Life after Gods."

The game may not be perfect, but it's so good that it doesn't even have to hide behind "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown," which certainly had a considerably higher budget. So, we definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys side-scrolling RPGs. If you want to be completely sure, you can check out the demo on Steam first.

Even if an additional difficulty level, slightly improved controls, and graphics aren't that interesting for you, if you like the genre and don't already own the game, you should get it now. It's worth it!

On the track, "Supercross 25" performs very well and, overall, is clearly better than any of its predecessors. This applies to the graphics as well as the gameplay. However, the series doesn't come from the top of the genre, but rather from the middle of the pack, so despite the improvement, you shouldn't expect a racing game on the level of Codemasters' "F1."

Anyone who enjoys action-packed survival games with plenty of freedom will definitely get their money's worth here and can experience how the undoubtedly present weaknesses fade further into the background with each hour of play.

However, there aren't so many changes that owners of the Wii U version should necessarily buy again, unless they absolutely love the title. JRPG fans who have so far passed the game by will have an optimal opportunity with "Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition" to immerse themselves in a very good, incredibly atmospheric open-world role-playing game that will easily provide them with 100 hours of fun or more.
