Ninja Gaiden 2 Black skillfully celebrates the return of the bloodiest video game ninja and delivers a wonderful upgrade of the original. Almost all of the controversial changes made to the Sigma version are a thing of the past and you can finally get back to the action, albeit with some missing content and a still totally abstruse story.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector takes the narrative strength of the first game one step further. The new crew mechanics and the contract missions add wonderfully to the already established strengths and make the gaming experience a grandiose sci-fi RPG and an unforgettable experience for all those who don't mind the purely text-based presentation.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 delivers a unique medieval setting with more freedom and realism than any game before it. Henry's story continues, remains exciting and also looks really great. If you are a fan of the first instalment or have the time, desire and also a little frustration tolerance, then you should have a lot of fun in Kuttenberg and the surrounding areas for a long time

Tales of Graces f Remastered is a role-playing game remaster as it should be. It maintains the quality of the original, but improves it visually and adds a few new features that improve the gaming experience for newcomers and fans alike. The remasters in the series can go on like this.

Freedom Wars Remastered is still a Vita game at its core, which can be seen both positively and negatively. The visuals have been nicely polished and the controls and gameplay definitely feel much better, but you have to be in the mood for the somewhat repetitive loop, even if it can often deliver very strong action battles.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins wipes the floor with its predecessors and finally shows how it's done again. Greatly staged mass battles, a story from a new perspective and blunt and fun gameplay. The presentation is lacking here and there, but the Musou game origin is back and is extremely fun

Fantasian Neo Dimension is a modern classic that may not be visually impressive, apart from the pretty dioramas of course, but offers everything that is important in the genre. Lovable characters, who are now superbly voiced, an exciting story and a battle system that can stand out a little from the normal turn-based RPG. And Uematsu's soundtrack is, of course, fantastic.

Fairy Tail 2 has wonderfully refreshed the battle system from the first one and now lets you play through the story from the original brilliantly right up to the finale. The music and the Japanese dubbing roles really bring out the magic of the series and should get you through the game well as a fan, as the world outside of the story unfortunately offers little and sometimes feels a little lifeless.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is aimed primarily at fans of the films who want to embody a younger Indie again. The abyssmal enemy AI and the somewhat dull sneaking/fighting are more than offset by excellent world-building, great voice acting, and a solid story.

Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven skillfully shows what a remake of an old classic can look like. It can still impress and both the beautiful visuals and the revised combat system provide hours of fun. You can even choose between the new or old soundtrack and listen to a complete voice-over. JRPG fans will not be able to avoid this game.

Farming Simulator 25 is not an annual update and yet it feels like one. In a good and bad way, however, because there are new features, but at the same time a lot remains the same. New features are welcome, the new fruits and animals as well as the helpers are great and it continues to offer the best way to heat through the fields with combine harvesters and co, but remains graphically and for beginners very far behind.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a double-edged sword of bricks. It looks unbelievably great, transports the template superbly and for the first time really brings a Lego world to life, in which there is definitely a lot to discover. However, the levels remain far too dull and offer no surprises or excitement and barely make use of the game's mechanics, even if the battles are really fun.

Farmagia turns out to be a real surprise and knows how to impress with its really special mix of farming, monster tactics and action gameplay. The characters and the world come into their own even more for fans of Hiro Mashima's works, even if the presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a return to old form, albeit not the best form. The action-packed battles with tactical elements are once again a lot of fun and the characters, both good and evil, bring the usual Bioware quality. It could have been a bit more stringent and there aren't many really important decisions, but this is the studio's best title since Mass Effect 3.

Metal Slug Tactics is just as visually and design-wise charming as the other offshoots, but this time it takes you into a very sophisticated tactical system with roguelike elements. Unfortunately, some of the gameplay is a little too forced and detracts from the fun, and it's not easy either, but the motivation to keep unlocking new things and completing just this one map will keep you hooked.

In "Mario & Luigi Brothership," the series makes a welcome return to form, with a harmonious blend of engaging presentation, humor, and character design that keeps players entertained. While the music and technical optimization leave something to be desired, the combat system is accessible and intuitive. However, the repitiveness makes some parts a bit tedious.

Striking Distance Studios created a "sci-fi Hades" with [Redacted] that offers fast-paced, entertaining gameplay. For a solid price under 25€, this offer is a great game for Roguelike and Twinstick Shooter fans alike.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure will certainly not be able to please either camp of Chloe Ultras, but it simply finds the best and most adult middle ground, supported by another great soundtrack. The new characters are believable, superbly voiced and graphically realized and the story also knows where to set exciting cliffhangers. Perhaps a little too easy to escape fate at the end, but the many positive aspects outweigh the negative ones all the time.

Shadows of the Damned - Hella Remastered is only a minor graphics update, offering players a chance to revisit this cult classic without old hardware. While it shows its age, the game's strengths remain its wild scenario, unique humor, and grindhouse-style trash appeal.

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.
