Despite aggressive, overtime-running microtransactions, NBA 2K26 shines with its tightest, most fluid gameplay yet, water-smooth animations, and a more heartfelt MyCareer, making it superior to NBA 2K25 and the clear MVP of basketball games whether you spend extra money or not.

Gears of War: Reloaded is the definitive version of the original classic—visually enhanced and performance-boosted, yet still unmistakably a 2006 game in tone and structure—but thanks to its thrilling combat, full DualSense integration, and complete package free of modern monetization, it's both a nostalgic triumph and a must-play for newcomers and veterans alike.

Hunter × Hunter: Nen × Impact shows glimmers of potential with its unique character mechanics, but its shallow content, small roster, and brief story mode leave it far behind genre heavyweights - making it a modest pick for diehard fans, but a hard pass for fighting game enthusiasts.

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.

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.
