After years of absence, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero brings us a delicious Dragon Ball game where you can entertain a lot of hours with friends on the couch. Fly with Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and all other known past iconic fights and give it a twist with what could happen if Goku and associates would have made a different choice. Graphically it is really a progress and in terms of fighter schedule you have enough choice not only to opt for a Goku or Vegeta. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a fantastic game that is really made for fans.

After a year Bethesda finally comes with an extension for Starfield called Shattered Space. What can you expect from it? Especially a lot of the same and there the problem is largely. The vibe that hung around Starfield has since been put out and therefore it all feels like you already know it. A new planet with new missions is what you get back. For people who did not touch Starfield at the time, this is a great opportunity to finally pick it up. Also for the real fans of Starfield. Did you think Starfield was okay, but nothing more? Then you might be better off waiting for the extensions to be there.

Bloober Team shows how to remake an iconic title like Silent Hill 2 while staying true to the original. Silent Hill 2 makes sure you sit completely silent for the entire game because you can't trust any sound, especially when the radio in the game is working overtime with static. Graphically it looks fantastic and the puzzles are challenging. Silent Hill 2 is a pleasure every minute and that is why the hope is that the other parts in the franchise can get the same treatment. This game will definitely walk away with an award in December, but which one that is, remains to be seen. Silent Hill 2 is the best horror game that you must have played this year.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection contains the two games Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and Ace Attorney Investigations: Prosecutor's Gambit from the Nintendo DS. Both have had a graphical upgrade and offer a lot of fun. The big question is: is it worth it for forty euros? The answer is actually simple: if you are not familiar with this series, then you will enjoy it for forty euros. If you are already familiar with Ace Attorney Investigations, then forty euros is actually way too much money and you should better wait for a sale.

Black Myth: Wukong is based on The Journey to the West and discusses a very interesting Chinese mythology. Despite the developer saying that it is not a soulslike game, Black Myth: Wukong definitely feels like one. Graphically, the game looks fantastic with beautiful environments and fun dialogues. In terms of gameplay, it can be quite frustrating at times and you just have to be prepared to defeat bosses in a rapid pace without any time to catch your breath. Despite this, Black Myth: Wukong is a fantastic game that you should definitely play.

Tomba! Special Edition is a slightly improved version of Tomba! from 1997. No graphical changes, but the changes that are there make playing Tomba! Special Edition a lot easier. It gives you a wonderful nostalgic feeling and takes you back to that time. You have to get used to the graphical style and also the sometimes clumsy controls. But if you can, then Tomba! Special Edition is a wonderful game to get through the summer with.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape is a fantastic conclusion to a saga that began ten years ago for many Guardians. The story wraps up a number of things nicely, but also leaves a number of things open for the future. Finally, no more hassle with bounties, but a Pathfinder system that gives you complete freedom to fill in. Add to that a planet that looks impressive and where there is a lot to do. If you find a team of five other Guardians, the raid Salvation's Edge is the next thing that needs to be tackled. Now we wait to see what else Bungie has in store for Destiny 2 in the future.

Planet Zoo: Console Edition provides for the needs of console regemers to have their own digital zoo. In 2019 it was the turn of the PC gamers, but now people with a PlayStation 5 and an Xbox series can also get started. The control on the console works great, but it still works just a little better on a PC. The tutorial is clear enough to start your zoo afterwards. There are lots of possibilities and maybe it is just a bit too much at times. Yet you will be able to enjoy this endlessly if this genre lies.

Planet Crafter is a very entertaining game where you focus primarily on making a planet habitable. Sounds very boring in the base, but you are going to enjoy it more and more. It is not a game where you have to pay attention to the graphic side and certainly not to the story, graphically it can feel a bit simple and the story is very concise. There are numerous possibilities that help you make the planet habitable and that simply works great.

Rise of the Ronin takes you to an exciting time in Japanese history. However, that says it all. Rise of the Ronin borrows many elements from well-known games such as Assassin's Creed and Nioh. The combat can be relatively frustrating due to the different styles you have to learn. There is also a lot to experience in the open world, but it is not always beautiful or challenging. Rise of the Ronin is therefore primarily a game where you can enjoy yourself for a short time.

Helldivers 2 tackles it differently than its predecessor and in this case that has been a good gamble. Helldivers 2 guarantees hours full of pleasure, provided you play this with several and preferably also with friends. It is chaotic and you regularly find yourself on a battlefield. The missions can sometimes feel somewhat repeating, but that cannot be said about the rest. You can completely dress your character and provide it with the latest tools. A wonderful snack for which you are not lost the full pound.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash responds to the popularity of the Japanese animation series Jujutsu Kaisen with two seasons now. This is the only positive thing we can say about this title. This is partly because the Story Mode consists of short boring missions where the tough characters feel incredibly boring. And that is not already, but also the limitation of the story to the first season and the film is disappointing. Environments look recognizable, but for the rest Jujutsu Kaisen is: Cursed Clash an insult to the fans.

Let's Sing 2024 does what you would expect, letting loose on contemporary music with a touch of nostalgia. You can hang out with friends again, against strangers online or just relax alone. The career mode is nice, but only if you are not yet familiar with the series. Classic is where you have free choice to decide for yourself what you sing. With 35 songs and possibly extra from the VIP Pass, you will be entertained for hours. So grab your phone or microphone and go crazy.

RoboCop: Rogue City is the best that Teyon has presented us when it comes to youth heroes from the 80s. RoboCop plays nice and stiff and the action is also good. Writing out tickets feels especially funny when it comes to illegal parking. However, the quality remains outdated graphically and you should only play this if you are a fan of the films.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III picks up where they left off last year. Changing course in the meantime turns out to be anything but effective. The single player is far too short and feels too rushed. The multiplayer also does exactly what you would expect, namely not being entertaining due to the toxic behavior of the players. Add to that the fact that there are no new maps, but only directly transferred maps from Modern Warfare 2 from 2009. Is there anything positive about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III? Yes, Zombies is quite entertaining because there is more to it.

Alan Wake II picks up the thread again literally and figuratively thirteen years later. Alan Wake has been missing for thirteen years and FBI agent Saga Anderson has to investigate a murder in Bright Falls that could be linked to Alan Wake. What follows is a story between two main characters full of secrets and an escape from this nightmare that reigns in Bright Falls. Alan Wake II is more horror than action and the jump scares certainly help with that. Alan Wake II even feels uncomfortable at times and that is certainly a positive sign in this case.

Animal Hospital does exactly what you would expect. You have to research animals, heal them and receive money to move on to the next injured person. It is simplistic and therefore ideal to just pick up in between. If you expect more depth, you will be disappointed with Animal Hospital.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 shows exactly where the power of the PlayStation 5 lies. Swinging around NYC never felt so satisfying and now you can float to Brooklyn too. From the first minute to the credits, the story hits like a bomb. The new skills provide a different way of playing and there is also plenty to do in this game. The latter sometimes feels like a repetition, but that certainly shouldn't spoil the fun because you are Spider-Man after all!

Lies of P is a soulslike that distinguishes itself mainly with its story and accessibility. The environments look beautiful and the well-known story of Pinocchio makes Krat and his surroundings feel like a fun city trip. Make no mistake, Lies of P may be a bit more accessible, but it punishes you mercilessly if you are greedy during the fights. A pleasant addition to the soulslike genre.

Starfield can best be described as Skyrim in space and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. In fact, it even feels familiar and can draw new players into a new world. Starfield is immense and you just don't know where to start. The minimal to no explanation really makes it feel like a big adventure for you. You make strategic choices throughout the game, such as providing your ship with power, which skills you want to teach your character to which mission you want to do first. Starfield is overwhelming and perhaps a bit too much for some.
