After many years of "early retirement", "EA Sports PGA Tour" is at its best. The action on the course is clearly in the foreground: The golf gameplay convinces and is pleasantly demanding thanks to stroke variations and adjustments. For beginners, there are help functions and challenges that help you overcome initial difficulties. The career mode is motivating and, with its many customization and optimization options, offers sufficient scope for longer sessions. Overall, however, this type of game is unfortunately also presented in a very unspectacular way. Even with a comparatively quiet sport like golf, there is simply more. All in all, however, "EA Sports PGA Tour" delivers well in its comeback and is technically a real feast for the eyes.

Anno 1800: Console Edition brings the successful city builder to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. Ubisoft did a great job, adapting gameplay and controls to this new environment. "Anno 1800" works surprisingly well with a gamepad.

Huge variety, impressive visuals and an enhanced gameplay make Company of Heroes 3 a must-have for all RTS-enthusiasts. Some bugs and glitches aside, Company of Heroes 3 is as intense as an WWII-RTS gets.

NHL 23 is another solid outing of EA Sports Hockey-Series. The gameplay sees minor improvements, that actually makes NHL 23 surpass ist predecessor. But overall the lack of real innovation is missing and therefore experienced players may give this one a pass.

The interspersed role-playing and character options are decent in themselves, but overall "PGA Tour 2K23" does not come close to the depth and complexity of other sports games on the market.

In short: "FIFA 23" sets a good conclusion to almost 30 years of series history and should not disappoint fans of the series.

NBA 2K23 leaves us torn: On the one hand, it’s an almost perfect simulation of the sport delivering a high amount of detail and gameplay-value. On the other hand, the experience is heavily harmed by microtransactions and in-game advertisements.

„Destiny 2: Beyond Light“ starts a new era for Bungie's loot-shooter. But as interesting as the new moon Europe is and as good as the stasis-abilities are, the overall „Beyond Light“-package does not live up to this hype. Instead it delivers solid replayability, but also cuts out a lot of content, „Destiny 2“-veterans enjoyed playing.

WWE 2K Battlegrounds turns out better than expected and delivers some fun arcade-wrestling with friends for a couple of hours. Nonetheless the game lacks depth and versatility. Most importantly the omnipresent microtransactions really hurt the overall feel for the brawler, which could have wound up far more enjoyable than it actually did.

“Super Mario 3D All-Stars” is a great trip to the past and feels like coming coming again. Even though “Super Mario 64” certainly shows its age, all three “Super Mario”-adventures are very well worth your time and your money.

Project Cars 3 doesn’t revolutionize racing, but delivers enjoyable simcade-action for everyone. Who felt that Project Cars 2 was too tough or overwhelming will find himself a new home here.

Fighting in the octagon never felt so good. “UFC 4” delivers satisfying MMA-Gameplay with some state-of-the-art graphics and presention. Along with a well designed career and a variation of online-modes, “UFC 4” is the total package when it comes to fighting-sims.

Rocket Arena is a fresh approach on 3-v-3-multiplayer. Rocket-jumping and bazooka-shooting is enjoyable for a short amount of time. Yet again, the cartoony artstyle and the lack of content hurt the overall experience.
