Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the best entry in years, with the innovative Omnimovement mechanic refreshing gameplay across all modes without losing the charm of previous games, featuring a sublime single-player experience, engaging open-world segments, a compelling story, a Zombies mode that returns to its roots, and varied multiplayer maps—though with some hits and misses—making it a must-have for fans and an inviting return for casual players.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed delivers a fun experience for younger Ninja Turtles fans with its accessible gameplay and visual style, though older fans may find it lacking in depth, with a simplistic RPG system, technical issues like frustrating camera angles, and a story that caters more to a new generation of players.

Nikoderiko: The Magical World is a nostalgic nod to classic platformers, offering solid content and fun co-op gameplay. Though it lacks its own identity, the affordable price and enjoyable challenge make it worth playing, especially with friends.

Undisputed fills the Fight Night void with solid, realistic gameplay, but lacks the flair and polish of its predecessor. While it has potential, the barebones career mode and framedrops on PS5 hold it back for now.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero delivers an epic Dragon Ball experience with a massive roster and solid gameplay, but its simplistic controls may lack depth for competitive players. Fans and newcomers will still have a blast!

The Mortal Kombat: Khaos Reigns DLC, despite great visuals and fun new characters, feels overpriced at fifty euros for only two hours of story content.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a charming and original platformer that, despite its slower pace, dated storytelling, and occasional control issues, will delight fans of the original while still offering an enjoyable experience.

I really wanted to like Funko Fusion, but with repetitive gameplay, outdated franchises, and a buggy experience, it's hard to see who this game is truly for.

NBA 2K25 excels in visuals and gameplay but suffers from limited innovation and an increasing reliance on microtransactions, undermining an otherwise solid experience.

The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection offers engaging, chapter-based stories with improved sprites and mechanics, making it a great pick for newcomers, especially on the Switch, though it adds little for those who played the originals.

"I feel like I might be too harsh on Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. Perhaps that's the case, but after around five hours of gameplay, I had seen everything and was eager to move on to another game. While the game boasts excellent controls and immerses you immediately in its world, there's simply not enough content. Moreover, it's a paid game that depends on an online player base. We've seen what happened with Concord when it went offline, and I fear this game may face a similar fate. On top of that, teams of seven players can only be filled with three actual online players, which seems like a recipe for dissatisfied players, a declining player base, and €30 less in your wallet."

Star Wars Outlaws offers a refreshing experience by letting you play as a scoundrel in a well-crafted galaxy far, far away, without relying on Jedi or familiar faces. Despite some technical issues and repetitive elements, the game delivers epic dogfights, meaningful choices, and an impressive world, making it a solid choice for Star Wars fans.

Madden NFL 25 shows some improvement with better presentation and UX, reflecting EA Tiburon's partial responsiveness to player feedback. However, it’s still fundamentally Madden, familiar to veterans with both its strengths and weaknesses.

F1 Manager 2024 introduces some fun new features that add a bit more depth compared to F1 Manager 23. The Build-A-Team mode is the most prominent addition, but don't be mistaken—there’s a lot going on under the hood as well. Mechanical issues bring new challenges, and monitoring the moods of your team members adds a bit more to the management experience. Is that enough reason to buy the new version if you're satisfied with the previous one? That depends on your preferences. This edition doesn't feel completely new, but it’s just a bit better than the last. F1 Manager 2024 is definitely a must-have for anyone who claims they can do better than Horner, Wolff, or Vasseur!

College Football 25 is a pleasant introduction to the exciting sport of American football. The game looks visually stunning, and it's impressive how many licenses it has. The atmosphere is completely different from Madden. However, the game also shares many similarities. The gameplay is relatively the same, which makes sense given that it's the same sport. Unfortunately, the game doesn't offer much depth. Road to Glory is simply boring, and we're all too familiar with Ultimate Team by now. Additionally, the UI could use some work. Menus are cluttered, the music gets tiresome after a while, and on-field indicators are nearly unreadable from a distance. That being said, College Football 25 has enormous potential, and it's worth waiting for the next iteration, which will likely take a big step forward.

MiHoYo did it again! Zenless Zone Zero is an exceptionally entertaining game that has everything to keep you engaged for days, if not weeks. Zenless Zone Zero is considerably more compact compared to something like Genshin Impact, but that doesn’t diminish the fun. In fact, we see it as a positive aspect since the game offers much more structure than the massive world of Genshin Impact. The combat is solid (though somewhat simplistic), and the world-building is excellently crafted. That said, the labyrinth and HDD issues take up too much time and are quite dull compared to the rest of the game. However, they serve as a mechanism for the combat, which is enjoyable thanks to the diverse cast of quirky characters. Naturally, this is a live service game, but we can conclude that you can complete it without spending a single cent. Of course, you're regularly reminded that the game is even more fun if you spend some money, but that is entirely optional. Now, we’re waiting to see what the future holds for Zenless Zone Zero, but as of writing, it looks promising!

Can we conclude in this Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble review that it's a fun game? Absolutely! The game retains the timeless charm that has kept the franchise alive for years. That said, it’s essentially more Monkey Ball. This is no punishment, but it’s a recipe we’ve seen before. Online play is remarkably simple, a notable achievement for a game on the Nintendo Switch. However, this also brings its own issues, especially considering we can go online with sixteen players. This leads to serious framerate issues that somewhat undermine the game. Additionally, the camera sometimes causes problems. Nevertheless, in solo mode, it’s a fantastic experience, and if you’re not too concerned about the details, local multiplayer is definitely worth trying. Don’t be fooled by the game’s cute appearance, though. Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble will push you to your limits if you want to see everything the game has to offer, and that’s exactly how we like these kinds of games!

Destiny 2: The Final Shape is good, very good. The expansion doesn't quite reach the heights of Destiny 2: Forsaken or Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, but it comes alarmingly close. The story's build-up is much improved, giving you a much better sense of what’s truly at stake. Admittedly, The Traveller is still a big question mark for me, but this time there's more room for individual moments with the cast you've been working with for ten years. The Pale Heart is beautifully designed and features incredible set pieces. Additionally, Prismatic as a subclass works exceptionally well and it almost feels like Bungie is trying to give you a taste of immortality. It is a shame, however, that there is so much repetition in the gameplay. This makes the game often feel like a routine once you’ve seen something a few times. But let's be honest; Bungie has really mastered the gunplay, mobility, and overall gameplay after so many years. As a result, Destiny 2: The Final Shape is still a pleasure to play and a must-have for players who have a deep affection for the Destiny franchise.
