With "Shinobi: Art of Vengeance," Lizardcube has created an excellent 2D action-platformer with a great combat system and cool platforming, featuring some pretty tough scenes at times but ultimately always remaining fair.

If you've always dreamed of a farmer's life with your own market stall, love cute animals, and have a few hours to spare, you should definitely check out "Story of Seasons: The Grand Bazaar." It's a successful blend of economic simulation, construction strategy, and time management, packaged as a cute adventure game with a few extras.

"Dorfromantik" may not be a game of incredible scope, but this is precisely what makes it a perennial favorite. The number of game modes and variants only indirectly relates to its scope. Whether it's just a quick round or an hour-long session, it continually invites you to immerse yourself in the world of villages and romance.

"Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater" proves to be a near-perfect remake, mastering the delicate balance between nostalgia and modernization with admirable precision. Konami has proven that the essence of Kojima's vision can be preserved and presented in a contemporary way even without the master himself.

Similar to the Metroidvania spin-off "The Lost Crown," "The Rogue Prince of Persia" is far more than just a nice consolation prize to bridge the wait for a "real" sequel to the "Prince of Persia" series. If you like the genre, you can confidently buy it!

Those willing to play online will certainly enjoy "Drag x Drive" for several hours at a truly bargain price, especially since you don't even necessarily need an optimal setup; you can play perfectly well even with the Joy-Cons on your thighs. However, "Drag x Drive" is unlikely to achieve the long-term motivation of "Rocket League" for most players due to the comparatively limited customization options.

The result is a game that's quite fun at its best, but still feels unfinished in many ways. With a lot of work from the developers, "Abyssus" could become an absolute insider tip a year after its release, but for now, we'll have to wait and see whether to buy it.

With "Echoes of the End," Myrkur Games delivers a compelling debut. While there's still plenty of room for improvement in most areas, especially the gameplay, as a whole it's a fantastic experience. Carried by its compelling fantasy world and human characters, it offers a very linear but highly entertaining blend of multiple genres. It may not win any major awards, but the fun is there if you overlook many minor issues and battle your way through to the even better second half of the game.

But anyone who enjoys narratively strong action games with cinematic staging can pick this up with a clear conscience. Series fans might not be impressed, but they'll be satisfied with a really good "Mafia."

Yes, the whole thing is nicely put together, the individual tasks are quite entertaining, and even the Switch's touchscreen is used, but if you look around at what else you can get for a similar price, then the price-performance ratio is unfortunately not right here.

Accordingly, we recommend only die-hard fans take a look, while everyone else should opt for titles like "Story of Season" and especially "Animal Crossing."

"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles 2" is a genuine and worthy successor to the first major video game adaptation of the anime and manga original.

While the atmosphere is good, and the puzzles are logically structured, they don't reinvent the wheel in any way. While everything is well integrated into the setting, it's not enough to distinguish it from the rest of the genre. Anyone who has a soft spot for this setting or enjoys FMV scenes from well-known voice actors should definitely check out "Dead Take."

At its core, "Killing Floor 3" is a more than solid game. The gameplay feels good, albeit underwhelming, and it offers varied levels, a good number of different enemies, and a sufficiently large selection of weapons to keep you interested.

We might have liked "Wuchang: Fallen Feathers" a little more if the introduction hadn't been so mixed. After the first boss, however, the game improves considerably, offering pleasantly fast-paced, powerful action, largely successful level design, cool bosses, and a motivating progression system.

The new features are definitely a nice bonus, even if they can only add a limited amount of extra fun to the already high level of gameplay. Therefore, our overall rating remains unchanged compared to the original Switch version, although the scope is slightly expanded.

"The Wandering Village" pleasantly surprised me. I don't particularly like most city-building strategy games because there's usually only one correct way to complete them, and it's easy to fall behind if you research certain buildings too late or don't build them quickly enough.

With the "Daima" expansion, "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" ventures into new territory – literally. The charming makeover for Son Goku and his friends, the lovingly designed Demon Realm, and numerous little gags create a true "Dragon Ball" feel

"RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business" isn't a technical masterpiece. The graphics are okay, but not impressive. Enemy behavior lacks depth, and gameplay doesn't reinvent anything new. And yet, the game works. Why? Because it understands what makes RoboCop special.

With "Shadow Labyrinth," Bandai Namco delivers a solid Metroidvania that scores highly both in terms of gameplay and atmosphere—more or less regardless of its unusual combination with the "Pac-Man" series.
