The short playing time, the lack of replay value, the lack of presence of the mascots, the lack of a sense of horror, and the sometimes frustrating controls are just some of these criticisms. "Finding Frankie" laid the foundation for a series, and it remains to be hoped that future spin-offs will offer more.

After testing, we have a love-hate relationship with "Commandos: Origins." The first few missions, in particular, were noticeably nerve-wracking. The occasional bugs and the unpredictability of the stealth gameplay repeatedly lead to frustration. Only over time does a certain flow develop.

While the world is visually quite beautiful, it also feels rather empty, which doesn't make exploring it very interesting in the long run. Perhaps "Star Overdrive" should have specialized in one of its gameplay components instead of trying to offer a mix of racing, puzzles, and combat. As it is, everything remains somewhere in the middle of the road.

On the track, "Supercross 25" performs very well and, overall, is clearly better than any of its predecessors. This applies to the graphics as well as the gameplay. However, the series doesn't come from the top of the genre, but rather from the middle of the pack, so despite the improvement, you shouldn't expect a racing game on the level of Codemasters' "F1."

All in all, however, it's a title definitely worth a playthrough – if only to experience the music in conjunction with the gameplay!

Thanks to its tactical combat system, challenging boss battles, and mysterious game world, fans of challenging action RPGs in particular can still take a closer look at Arrisa's adventures with a clear conscience.

Anyone who enjoys action-packed survival games with plenty of freedom will definitely get their money's worth here and can experience how the undoubtedly present weaknesses fade further into the background with each hour of play.

However, generic side missions, enemy types, and environments, as well as the controls that aren't quite as straightforward as its predecessor "Sekiro," hold the game back. Nevertheless, fans of challenging action RPGs can expect an early highlight in the relatively young gaming year of 2025.

However, there aren't so many changes that owners of the Wii U version should necessarily buy again, unless they absolutely love the title. JRPG fans who have so far passed the game by will have an optimal opportunity with "Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition" to immerse themselves in a very good, incredibly atmospheric open-world role-playing game that will easily provide them with 100 hours of fun or more.

Despite all the doom and gloom, "Assassin's Creed Shadows" has become one of the best installments in the series to date. The game not only tops the series in terms of graphics, but also narratively, despite its open-world structure, which is actually a disadvantage.

The "Atelier" series has changed quite a bit with Yumia. It's somehow more mature, more grown-up, and a whole lot darker. "Atelier" fans will recognize this from the older installments of the series.

On the one hand, "WWE 2K25" delivers an incredibly entertaining wrestling spectacle that, while still having technical weaknesses, has evolved in many areas. Thanks to its massive scope and enormous recognition, combined with the rich community and creative features, wrestling fans can sink weeks and months into the game.

I had to figure out a lot myself, and if something doesn't work, like the mini-games with the creatures, then I don't know what the problem is. After twelve hours of playing time, I didn't manage to complete a single mini-game and only got scorched earth, regardless of whether I tried to press quickly, press more buttons at the same time, or hold the buttons down.

The result is a flawless split-screen hit. Experiencing the adventures of Zoe and Mio and solving puzzles, defeating bosses and fighting together is a truly wild ride.

The "Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection", on the other hand, includes many games that hardly anyone knows. This makes it a real gem in any video game collection - especially if you buy the game as a physical version.

"PGA Tour 2K25" has made some noticeable steps forward compared to its predecessor, which is now two years old: the presentation is more rounded and coherent, the career mode offers more depth and variety, and the gameplay is also impressive with the integrated innovations.

"Two Point Museum" is a great simulation game that kept me awake for hours. Just like its predecessors, it has the magic that makes you completely forget about time and keep expanding and discovering.

"Monster Hunter Wilds" is the current high point of the success story, proving that Capcom has always kept an eye on the community's wishes, but is not afraid of innovation.

Getting started is pretty tough, though, because you're bombarded with an incredible amount of text explaining all the systems. It can get just as tough when you move up to higher arenas, because the screen is overloaded with so many effects that the frame rate can even get into combat.
