Thanks to a gripping story, good actors who give their all, and fantastic, old-school effects, this isn't a negative. If you don't like that and need more interactivity, you should definitely steer clear of "Dead Reset." On the other hand, if you're looking for a horror film with a lot of heart where you have some influence over the story, you should definitely get the game!

If you already own "NHL 25," you'll get more of a fine-tuning here. Those who've taken a longer break, however, can look forward to a well-rounded, fun hockey experience. "NHL 26" is like a solid power-play goal: It's fun, it scores points—but it's no game-changer!

Nevertheless, the game's balance is successful, perhaps precisely because the game primarily focuses on one level. Because "Cronos" is always challenging at a consistently (high!) level and doesn't make any compromises. One thing is clear: If you like the genre, you have to get it!

For everyone still here: Swing your clubs, try to ignore the endlessly repetitive dialogue, and have fun on the course even in bad weather. Games like this are most fun with friends anyway! Your chatter will drown out the annoying soundtrack anyway.

Offline or when playing with friends, it's pure basketball love; online and when playing with strangers, microtransactions and pay-to-win dominate. The game types are all enjoyable and fun, but the concept behind them noticeably hurts the overall rating.

When "Metal Eden" is fun, it's truly enjoyable. The battles are challenging and require full concentration and quick decision-making. At the same time, gameplay-wise, it's just a copy of other, better games and offers little that stands out.

What was missing here to embed the gem of a well-functioning combat system into a larger whole that gives more meaning to the action on screen? Time? Money? Ideas? We don't know, but we'd like to emphasize again that "Lost Soul Aside" isn't a bad game and has a lot to offer. If you're willing to accept the shortcomings described above.

Although "Hell is Us" is in many ways more of an old-school game, the lack of excessive game aids and the integration of serious puzzles provide a pleasantly fresh breath of fresh air in the increasingly challenging everyday life of gamers.

At roughly three to four hours long, depending on your playstyle and skill level, the scope of the new content is also appropriate. Therefore, we're giving it a slightly higher rating than the original Switch version. It remains a truly enjoyable, feel-good platformer—but ultimately, the Switch 2 version doesn't quite deliver a massive leap forward in gameplay.

"Herdling" is fantastic. It's not for everyone, but anyone who embraces the premise and the emotional journey will have an unforgettable experience. The gameplay is very simple and never too challenging. However, it feels great to lead your herd through epic or dangerous moments, and thanks to a relatively short playing time, it never gets boring. A magnificent soundtrack and beautiful visuals perfectly round out the emotional experience.

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.
