"The Blood of Dawnwalker" is the first big hit of a crazy second half of the gaming year 2026.

While "Star Wars Zero Company" emulates "XCOM," it will most likely never achieve its historical significance.

"Captain Tsubasa II: World Fighters," like its predecessor, is a treat for fans of the anime or manga. However, players accustomed to traditional soccer simulations will likely find it lacking in enjoyment, as the title deviates significantly from the norm.

In our opinion, Asobo maintains the high standard set by its predecessors and even manages to slightly improve upon it technically. If you enjoyed the previous games and aren't put off by the drastically increased focus on direct action, you can confidently give it a try.

"Duskfade" absolutely lives up to the high expectations. Exploring the world is a joy, unlocking the story of Zirian's family—her grandfather, sister, and the cloud beings—piece by piece, and getting emotionally swept away. The combat sections between bosses can sometimes feel a bit repetitive, but unlocking new abilities adds enough variety to make it bearable. The boss fights are phenomenal, and I wish I could replay them outside of the story. Maybe even on a higher difficulty level, because they're genuinely fun! Anyone who enjoys 3D action-platformers should definitely give "Duskfade" a try!

"Lou's Lagoon" doesn't offer a great deal of depth, but it doesn't need to. Technically, however, the presentation is rather lackluster, mainly due to the often low frame rate. Ultimately, though, it's fun and delivers a pleasant experience, which is definitely worth more than the technical issues.

Overall, "Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2" is a well-rounded package. For the first time, it's possible to play "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" outside of its original release platform, while "Peace Walker" offers a different gameplay experience than most installments in the series thanks to its numerous different content options.

"Mortal Shell II" is an incredibly good game – both on its own and as a sequel to the original. The gameplay is consistently fun, and even though there aren't as many weapons or character customization options, it offers plenty of variety from beginning to end. The battles, especially against the many unique bosses, are another highlight. "Mortal Shell II" doesn't bring much that's innovative or completely new to the genre. But because it gets so much right as a whole, we can't help but wholeheartedly recommend it.

Compared to significantly higher-budget survival horror games like "Resident Evil Requiem" or the remake of "Dead Space," "The Sinking City 2" may not quite reach the heights of the genre's giants, at least technically and in terms of sheer perfection. However, the story, the game world design, and the blend of adventure, action, and horror elements make it a must-play for genre fans in terms of gameplay and atmosphere!

Therefore, those who were already happy with the predecessor have few compelling reasons to upgrade immediately. Nevertheless, football fans will still get a comprehensive, superbly presented, and still very strong NFL simulation with "Madden NFL 27"—just not a revolution.

"Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns" is a very interesting case. The remake of the 1986 title is very well done and, with its modern retro look, perfectly balances visual appeal and nostalgia.

The game brilliantly captures the energy of the comic book source material and gives it its own unique, over-the-top Japanese twist. From the character designs and arenas to the animations and explosive Ultimates, everything feels perfectly cohesive. This game is sure to get Marvel fans' hearts racing.

However, the game's core strength lies in its spectacular combat, which becomes increasingly multifaceted and impressive as the game progresses, thanks to numerous active and passive skills.

"Helix: Descent N Ascent" initially captivates with its unusual visual style, but then also impresses with fresh ideas in the puzzle genre.

Once I let go of the need to play everything perfectly and started to simply have fun, try things out and not try to do everything on the first try, both parts really brought me joy.

"Kusan: City of Wolves" is a wonderfully over-the-top action spectacle in the style of "Hotline Miami." While the game looks like just another twin-stick retro shooter in pictures, it's a true adrenaline rush in action.

Especially in co-op mode and on one of the higher difficulty levels, the campaign and the three well-made bonus missions prove to be an enjoyable challenge for genre fans.

In terms of atmosphere, "The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu" surpasses most other Lovecraft-inspired games. Unfortunately, the game repeatedly undermines its own long-term appeal, whether through its wildly fluctuating difficulty, performance issues, or poorly explained gameplay elements.
