Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 delivers exciting innovations and an engaging career mode for aviation fans, but issues like weak localization, clunky AI voice acting, and lengthy loading times make it worth considering a wait for future updates.

With Chicken Police: Into the HIVE!, The Wild Gentlemen once again masterfully deliver a film-noir detective experience with intriguing animal-headed characters, and while the game is relatively short at five to six hours with limited interrogation opportunities, it’s a must-play—even if you don’t usually go for visual novels—thanks to its fantastic music and superb voice acting that draw you into the story, making it hard to stop until the credits roll.

Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a charming, visually appealing game suitable for all ages, though its simplicity and short day-night cycle can make the gameplay feel repetitive at times.

Just Dance 2025 is the ultimate party game with great music for a fun night with friends. However, it offers little innovation beyond new songs, making it hard to justify for longtime players unless you're eager to pay for a fresh playlist.

Concord shows promise in the hero shooter genre with solid technical performance and enjoyable gameplay. However, its bland characters, dull lore, and limited game modes hold it back.

When we take everything into account, Aspyr has somewhat managed to redeem themselves after releasing Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, but they have also dropped the ball with Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. And not just a little. A poorly functioning camera, repetitive gameplay, AI that behaves like cannon fodder, and above all, audio mixing that's a complete mess. There are some aspects of the game that are done well, such as the addition of a flashlight, a new button layout, and the graphical upgrade, but ultimately, this could have been so much better than what it is now. And that's a shame. It feels rushed, like a port with a few small improvements. The original really deserves a full-fledged remake. This game is likely only of interest to those who hold significant nostalgic value for it.

MLB The Show 24 is a solid baseball game, but offers little innovation, making it skippable for those who played last year's version.

"Disney Dreamlight Valley, after more than a year in Early Access, is still a work in progress. Gameloft continues to develop the game with updates and new content, which is how it was intended. It’s a relaxing game with plenty to do, though not particularly challenging. Gameloft has delivered a solid farming sim with Disney Dreamlight Valley. However, it's disappointing that they didn’t fulfill their promise to make the game free for players. If you make a promise, you should stick to it."

If you like simulator games and / or are crazy about airplanes then Flight Simulator is a game you should get. Yes, MUST. You are going to have a lot of fun with this and above all mainly enjoy it. If flying itself doesn't offer you enough of a challenge, you can still turn to the different challenges that the game has to offer. Especially nowadays it is a nice alternative to still be able to travel around the world in a certain way.
