Four years have passed since the release of Assassin's Creed Rogue for the last-gen-consoles. Back then a lot of people missed out on this game due to the near simultaneous release of AC Unity. With AC Rogue: Remastered these people now get their chance to relive the adventures of the Assassin-turned-Templer Shay Cormack during the Seven Year War. With 4K-support and sharper graphics the game looks better than ever, even though you can't ignore the age. The fighting system and the animations just feel old and if you have had enough of the old Assassin's Creed formula you should skip this remaster. Likewise, if you already have played the original. If you can overlook these points, you will have a jolly good time.

After the more or less mediocre first DLC of Assassin's Creed Origins Ubisoft surprises with an excellent second one. The Curse of the Pharaohs lets you explore the new region of Thebes, including the Valley of the Kings and even the afterlife. In an interesting and well executed twist you get to explore several depictions of the afterworld and even get to fight mystical creatures like mummies or giant scorpions. Despite the atypical storyline, it never feels weird or out-of-place. Because of all side-activities, points of interest and strong end bosses you won't get bored during your 18 hour adventure.

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life isn't just the final chapter of the Kazuma Kiryu saga, but also one of the best titles of the whole series. The story is well written and wonderfully executed. Both of the locations in the game, the red-light district Kamurocho and the harbor town Onomichi, are beautifully crafted. For the first time all of the characters are fully voiced, even the ones in sub-stories. Also, there is lots to do besides fighting gangsters, like playing arcade games or flirting with hostesses. Small hiccup: The animations in the sub-stories are a little bit rough. Besides that it's a perfect finale for the Dragon of Dojima.
