F1 25 is simply the best Formula 1 racing sim to date, thanks to improved handling, more realistic environments, and fun additions, even if the lack of true innovation and limited implementation make it feel somewhat underwhelming for its €79.99 price tag.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is essentially a paid interactive manual with a few tech demos and minigames that, while mildly informative, feels more like a missed opportunity—especially given its €10 price tag and limited appeal beyond hardware enthusiasts or those with nothing else to play.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 offers solid value with eight well-emulated fighters—four 2D and four 3D—enhanced with rollback netcode and online play, though the inclusion of multiple entries from the same series may feel redundant depending on your preferences.

In Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, fan-favorite Goro Majima leads a gloriously absurd spin-off where you play as a pirate in a modern world, summon sharks and jellyfish, and bombard enemies with cannonballs, all while indulging in minigames, references, and crew recruitment; though limited to two fighting styles and a sometimes uncooperative camera, its compact playtime, lower price, and classic beat-‘em-up action make it a wild, worthwhile ride for Like a Dragon fans.

Civilization 7 lays a solid foundation but doesn’t yet reach its full potential. While the game is beautiful, packed with content, and delivers that classic “one more turn” feeling, it stops at the moon landing, skipping modern progress. The absence of key leaders like Gandhi or the English also feels strange. Still, empire-building is as satisfying as ever, and with time, the necessary finishing touches will come.

Marvel Rivals boasts immense potential with its roster of 33 distinct characters, but balancing issues, a steep learning curve for newcomers, and its heavy resemblance to games like Overwatch 2 hinder its uniqueness, leaving its success dependent on whether it gains the time and player base to fully realize its Marvel license's possibilities.

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.

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.
