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.

Phantom Fury unfortunately doesn't work as it should. The levels are unimpressive, confusing and packed with an inflationary number of enemies. The weapons are really fun and there are lots of nice little gimmicks and attempts to add some variety to the game, but it remains an average shooter that falls well short of its potential.

Gungrave G.O.R.E. wants us to go back to the old days of the PS2. Dumb action, a lackluster story with a silent hero and a big gun on his back. Sadly the boring and repetitive gameplay make it hard to recommend this game.

Skull and Bones feels like an online mode from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, but in a bad way. The sea battles are really fun at first and look really great, but unfortunately it remains a monotonous and dull grind. There's not much to do, there's no gameplay away from the ship and everything else just plods along. There is definitely potential somewhere, but there are plenty of more fun alternatives in the pirate genre.

Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash falls considerably short of its potential. The story, variety of modes and gameplay often feel like the bare minimum for a game in the genre. The many customizations paired with the really faithful character realizations and the cool 2vs2 mechanics just about save the game from being a failure.

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.

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.

Starship Troopers: Extermination is more fun than you might initially think. Solo you should avoid it, but in multiplayer, the motivating shooting really gets going and keeps you on your toes. However, a few more maps and a lower price would be nice, especially as it's not exactly up to scratch technically and graphically.

Concord is an honest shooter that really does a lot right during gameplay. The weapons feel good, everything looks nice and there's plenty of content and no microtransactions. Unfortunately, the game is already under a bad star. There is a lack of identity, originality and, based on current figures, a lack of players very soon. Let's hope for the best, because Concord really deserves a chance.

CRYMACHINA impresses with an intriguing world, great music and a very interesting graphic style paired with anime aesthetics, which we liked throughout. Unfortunately, with the same old battles, dull and linear dungeons, and unimpressive bosses, there's not much left outside of that.

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

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.

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

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.

Warriors Abyss unfortunately can't keep up with the recently released Origins. It takes elements from everything in Warriors and packs it into an average roguelike hack-and-slash that can be a lot of fun at times, but also offers very little of interest. For the low price, however, the rewarding progression through hell is definitely worth it.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead captures the atmosphere of the films really well and offers an immersive horror experience similar to Alien: Isolation. Unfortunately, it's technically completely unsatisfactory and often requires you to progress a little too slowly, which really reduces the enjoyment of the game.

Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is better than many of the previous attempts to turn the SAO license into a game. The story may not be worth mentioning and the missions quickly become repetitive, but it plays really well and the online team battles in particular are great fun with other anime fans.

Madden NFL 25 is doing something right this year and has listened to fan feedback. However, as is so often the case, they only listened with one ear and didn't really improve in every corner. This is particularly noticeable in Franchise mode and the mischievous focus on Ultimate Team. On the field, however, many of the changes are quickly noticeable for long-term fans and are welcome, although it has to be said that you get more fun for your money overall with the college version from the same company.

The Inquisitor is actually often like a car crash that you simply can't look away from. But as you look further, there is always a real sense of wonder at the twists and turns in the story, a fresh setting and fun ideas. The battles are as bumpy as Mordimer is grumpy and the Unworld is full of frustration and yet you still want to keep going. If you are not opposed to the bizarre, you should definitely give the title a chance. Otherwise, let the vengeful Jesus come for you!

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a new path for the Arkham studio. It tries to be a balancing act between cool, staged story pieces and a well thought-out live service game, which unfortunately doesn't work out for either. Boring missions, repetitive sequences and an online constraint spoil the fun immensely. Even the thoroughly satisfying shooter gameplay and the interesting premise can't save much overall
