Hypercharge: Unboxed brings loads of nostalgia, charm and heart and packs it into a humorous shooter. There is an incredible amount to discover in all the maps and even the character selection makes you smile at first. Unfortunately, the campaign can't quite keep up with this over time, but thanks to the co-op mode and the fun multiplayer options, you should still be entertained for a good while.

8.5 / 10.0 - American Arcadia
May 19, 2025

American Arcadia offers a wonderfully well-designed world and the two completely different gameplay angles mean that it never gets boring. And anyone who thinks they know exactly what it all boils down to will certainly be surprised. Only some annoying passages really didn't have to be.

7.8 / 10.0 - RoadCraft
May 19, 2025

RoadCraft is an enormously fun playground for rebuilding something together, especially in co-op. Everyone has a task and drives one of the huge machines making coordination essential. But the frequent chaos also makes the game a lot of fun, even if the camera and long-term motivation take the wind out of the game's sails somewhat due to the repetitive activities.

Little Kitty, Big City is an absolutely loving and charming cozy game that is fully dedicated to the love of cats. Many little references will really make fans of the four-legged friends' hearts beat faster. Unfortunately, however, the gameplay is lacking, offering little more than fetch quests and strange platforming interludes.

6.5 / 10.0 - Commandos: Origins
May 16, 2025

Commandos: Origins is unfortunately an insult on console, as it is not really fun to play due to many technical inconsistencies. The very annoying controls don't really help either, even though a really solid tactical game with a high degree of historical accuracy seems to be hidden behind the problems.

7.8 / 10.0 - FragPunk
May 16, 2025

FragPunk comes with a card system, a stylish look and aims to clean up the F2P sector straight away. For the most part, this works really well, as the matches remain fresh and there is never a dull moment. However, you have to be able to put up with the many microtransactions.

7 / 10.0 - AI Limit
May 16, 2025

AI Limit is a solid Soulslike that scores with an interesting graphic style and a few cool features such as the sync system. The story can also do something from the second half onwards, but overall the game just feels a little too unoriginal and familiar. However, if you need some fodder in the genre, it's a very good snack

Revenge of the Savage Planet invites you to explore and conveys a wonderfully crazy and satirical world. The change of perspective compared to its predecessor and the many collectibles, the gadgets and the possibility of experiencing all this in co-op make the title a successful excursion to other planets.

7 / 10.0 - The Precinct
May 15, 2025

The Precinct has a wonderful unused premise and utilises it very well for the most part. You really feel like a guardian of the law during the many patrols with the police manual under your arm. Sadly, the messy controls and the repetitive nature of the game don't quite do enough to help the title achieve a higher rating

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is an ode to the original and provides fans with enough nostalgia in a fresh visual look without losing any of the memes or memories. Unfortunately, the technical aspects cause the frame rate to plummet and the game design often feels very outdated.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land takes the series a big step further. Even if the story can't quite keep up with the initial quality, the battles, crafting and characters are convincing through and through. This is probably the best introduction to the long-running JRPG series

7.1 / 10.0 - Atomfall
May 15, 2025

Atomfall creates such an unusual world that you can easily get swept up in it. The mystery of the story and the many clues and puzzles keep you entertained if you get involved. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the close combat and gunfights, but Rebellion has definitely created something unique here.

8.1 / 10.0 - Two Point Museum
May 15, 2025

Two Point Museum still manages to bring a breath of fresh air to the third game, because it is probably the most varied part, which shines with its many areas within a museum. The humour and the great animations are just the cherry on top. But if you haven't enjoyed the genre so far, you won't be buying a season ticket for this museum either.

Spirit of the North 2 is a nice sequel that retains the charm of the first game while skillfully expanding the gameplay. The new skills in conjunction with the raven are fun, the atmosphere and the magical visuals look beautiful and the game invites you to linger. Unfortunately, there are technical problems here and there and the aimless wandering to the next required item can be very annoying.

6.9 / 10.0 - Steel Seed
May 1, 2025

Steel Seed has perhaps set the bar a little too high for itself. It is not a firework display of action, but rather shines in the dark. Stealth is clearly the focus here and, paired with a solid sci-fi story, there is always fun to be had. However, the whole thing is more suited to players who are not yet familiar with the genre.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 2 manages to take the concepts from the first tape and turn them completely inside out emotionally. The mood is completely different and many of the previously mundane activities now promote a new melancholic view of them. The gameplay takes a back seat and even stagnates, but the story now bears bittersweet fruit.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a special role-playing game that is full of love and passion. It's beautiful, the soundtrack is a splendor, the battles always challenge you without being unfair or losing the fun and the story offers an unusually adult approach. With great acting performances, hard-hitting twists and all kinds of endgame content, you'll have fun for a long time. If you've ever planned to play an RPG, play this one.

The LUNAR Remastered Collection offers exactly what a remaster should. It makes the game more playable with many new features and even adds something new with the English voices. If you're not averse to classic JRPGs, you'll get two really beautifully told stories that don't necessarily show their age thanks to the fresh tactical combat system.

SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered is an unusual JRPG that has to inspire you to want to find out everything for yourself in order to really shine, because systems are not explained and without a guide you will definitely always miss something. However, the interesting battle system and the beautifully paced story are definitely worth experiencing for genre fans

KARMA: The Dark World skillfully manages to combine a typical walking simulator with elements of creepiness, horror and puzzles. The studio's first work shines with its impressive presentation and is brimming with metaphorical symbolism without being heavy-handed. Those who are not put off by the sometimes challenging riddles should really treat themselves to this psychedelic trip.
