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.

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.

"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."

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins marks a strong return to the franchise, revitalizing the series with fresh gameplay, dynamic weapon-swapping mechanics that reduce repetition, massive battles for newcomers to enjoy, and deeper character insights for veterans, despite some minor drawbacks like a generic avatar introduction and occasional frame drops, resulting in an engaging experience that can easily extend beyond 50 hours.
