MultiVersus remains exceptionally fun to play. The fighting mechanics are solid, the mashup of characters works astonishingly well, and the roster is so diverse that you never tire of it. It's a real shame, then, that the extreme pressure to spend money is so evident. Paying ten euros to unlock a character (which was playable in the beta) is exorbitant, and the grind is too steep to truly enjoy the game. This isn’t a new trend with Warner Bros. games; Mortal Kombat 1 and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League also suffered from similar issues. If you can look past the endless grind, MultiVersus is a fantastic free-to-play game, but that is a unique skill in itself.

F1 24 is a fantastic game for true Formula 1 enthusiasts. The promise that this is more than just a roster update has been fulfilled. By focusing on individual teams, the game encourages players to switch teams to seek new challenges or simply to try out different cars. The game looks and sounds incredible on the track, but it lacks a bit in presentation. The voice lines directly from the board radio are a nice touch, but there is much more that could be done with the actual material. The game is missing some atmosphere and could benefit from leaning more on the existing F1 license material. However, Codemasters excels at on-track action, and that is undoubtedly evident in F1 24.

Fans of arcade-style hero shooters are doing themselves a disservice if they don’t give XDefiant a chance. The game is well put together, offers plenty of action, and comes with minimal fuss. The pace is particularly fast, and the choice to unite iconic franchises is something we can only applaud. The current release of XDefiant features a few excellent maps, enjoyable game modes, and a handful of characters with unique skills. However, the game could benefit from more content in the form of new (and more recognizable) characters. Additionally, the leveling balance needs some tweaking, the hitbox detection requires an upgrade, and the weapons could use a bit more impact. The first step has certainly been taken, and we firmly believe that Ubisoft can keep the game vibrant and engaging.

TopSpin 2K25 is a worthy reboot for a legendary franchise with high-level on-field action, tight controls, and a deep MyPlayer mode, though it lacks content and features a lifeless crowd.

Harold Halibut is a bit of a mixed bag; its unique Stop Motion technique makes it a must-see, but its limited gameplay and pacing issues make it feel more like an animated film than a game, though it’s a standout if you enjoy narrative-driven experiences.

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles is a fun and addictive city builder with intuitive systems, though it has some minor frustrations and lacks a strong endgame, but it remains an impressive solo project.

WWE 2K24 pleasantly surprised us with its extensive content, improved gameplay, and a wealth of unique wrestlers, making it much more than just a roster update, despite minor issues with AI and camera.

"Skull and Bones offers solid naval combat and engaging endgame content with a good grind for upgrades, but it lacks a compelling story and has minimal on-foot segments. While the visuals and sea battles are impressive, issues like glitches and an always-online requirement hold it back from being great. The roadmap for updates provides hope, but the game still struggles with mediocrity."

"Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the best entry in the series yet, featuring expansive content and an engaging JRPG experience. The story is immersive with many twists, and Honolulu adds a unique touch as a new location. Despite some issues, like the paywall for New Game+, the game excels with its side missions, smooth combat, and rich ambiance. Playing Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name first is recommended for a fuller experience. A must-play for fans!"

"Tekken 8 solidifies its place among the greatest fighting franchises with its solid but short story, diverse modes, and extensive roster. The game excels in gameplay with a strong emphasis on aggressive play, making it ideal for those who enjoy fast-paced action. Customization options and beautifully designed stages enhance the experience, while the modern online mode offers fast matchmaking and stable connections. Newcomers benefit from the Special Style controls and learning tools like Ghost Battles and Replay and Tips. Despite a brief story and Arcade Quest, Tekken 8 is a fantastic game with minimal flaws."

PGA Tour 2K21 is far from perfect. Compared to other sports games, the game is not very nicely finished and the diversity in terms of modes is also somewhat meager. It's a shame that this MyCareer mode hasn't received the same attention as, say, that of NBA 2K. Perhaps that is still a bridge too far, but it could have had a little more gravy. It is also a shame that the world looks a bit clinical. The wind has little effect on the environment itself and the NPCs also look somewhat lifeless. The commentary, on the other hand, is well done and the golf itself is also very well put together. After a few holes, you will no longer notice the above misses and you will appreciate the depth of the game. The controls, customization and the tracks themselves have received a lot of love and attention. Golf enthusiasts will certainly appreciate the game and new players will also be lucky, because the game is very accessible. However, if you have nothing to do with golf, then logically you will not get much pleasure from PGA Tour 2K21.

Actually, I just want to give Skater XL a high score. The controls are innovative and the game flows smoothly. It is a shame, however, that the game is virtually soulless and actually leaves you completely free in what you can do. Now you can see this as a challenge, but I expect that many gamers will see a Skate on the case, but are disappointed when they actually play the game. Game is actually not the label I would give to Skater XL. Rather, it is a good tech demo that has the potential to become a real game, provided there is sufficient support and further development. And when I think of a tech demo, unfortunately I do not think of a price tag of 45 euros. If the game is going to be significantly supplemented, then I am willing to revise my score, but for now it is what it is.

It should have taken fifteen years, but the remake of Destroy All Humans! has finally appeared. Rudy left for Roswell and went on a murder trail.
