If you ignored or missed COD parts in the latter, you should take a look at "Black Ops 6" at the latest - it's worth it!

New World: Aeternum is a good MMO addition for console players. The combat works great with a controller even though that leaves it with a relatively low number of usable skills per weapon. Being class agnostic makes it so you can do whatever you want whenever you want. It also means that everything can just be overwhelming cause you are constantly leveling up different jobs, weapons, regions and even your own house. While the PVE side plays it relatively safe and almost boring New World offers a fascinatingly deep PVP aspect that you can really dig into.

The technical implementation is good: the camera is relatively close to the action. This means you see less of the surroundings, but more of the actors. Hits leave swelling and lacerations. In contrast to "EA Sports UFC 5", "Undisputed" keeps the blood factor a little lower: there are lacerations, but they are less directly captured and celebrated. Body blows are also clearly recognizable. Effective hits are shown just as clearly as knockdowns and knockouts.

Europa is a cinematic puzzle platform game inspired by the Studio Ghibli films which delivers an atmospheric and meditative experience. Even though it’s a relatively short visit to the moon of Jupiter, it’s a welcome escape from every day life.

Great RPG skirmishes, depth of gameplay, ideas that still seem fresh and varied gameplay make Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven irresistible, and not just for retro fans. However, some elements such as a certain lifelessness of the game world and repetitive sequences are no longer really up to date. Whether you appreciate unique features such as the generation change or reject them outright is certainly a matter of taste.

Shin chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a charming little adventure that brings back childhood memories of carefree summer holidays. The beautifully drawn landscapes paired with the classic Shin chan humour is bound to put a smile on your face no matter what.

How long the multiplayer part's breath will ultimately last, however, will probably depend on the supply of fresh content and more creative quests. The gameplay loop wears out pretty quickly, but more variety could help. With a little more courage for modern game design, it could have been the best "SAO" game so far.

Patrick's first own video game is definitely not a total failure, but it can hardly do justice to its legendary original. If you can get used to the weaknesses of the title and just want to have wild fun, you can still take a look here. Especially for younger gaming fans, it is a nice pastime.

Even 13 years later, Sonic Generations is still one thing above all else: pure and, most importantly, lightning-fast platforming fun! The great levels are packed with little details, the graphics and soundtrack are beautiful and Shadow's appearance makes the experience even better. Despite some minor flaws, this game is absolutely worthy of SEGA's video game legend.

"Starship Troopers: Extermination" is rather mediocre as an overall package. The reason for this is the bumpy performance, the laughable single-player mode and the general lack of variety at release. Nevertheless, the game is captivating and even surpasses the best games in this genre in one respect: the moments when we have to hold the line against an overwhelming mass of opponents. "Starship Troopers: Extermination" does a lot of things only satisfactorily, but it captures this one aspect so well that we keep coming back to play a game. Maybe the developer Offworld will succeed in building something on this foundation, other games show that this is quite possible. Unfortunately, despite the rather low price, the competition is much further ahead than "Starship Troopers: Extermination" currently is.

Unknown 9 suffers from technical hick-ups and gameplay-imbalances. Stealth is fun, but too easy for veterans. Handling and combat turn out stiff. Yet again, Unknown 9 can be satisfying and motivating and delivers a fresh setting.

Not every single game mode might be more than a nice bonus. But especially with the Jamboree Buddies system and some other creative inventions the core board game mode benefits a lot. In addition with the fully new co-op mode Bowser Kaboom Squad and the competitive Koopathlon mode for 20 players Super Mario Party Jamboree is just one of the best entries to the Mario Party series, maybe the best so far.

With a length of about four hours, "Speedollama" is short, but still stretches its time. The core gameplay is entertaining and feels good apart from the wall jumps, but there is simply a lack of variety. Especially the coolly designed boss fights seem particularly lame. Nevertheless, it's definitely harder to invest your money if you're in the mood for an old-school run-and-gun shooter.

Neva is an action-adventure game that tells the story of Alba, a swordswoman, and Neva, a fantasy wolf. Together they save the world from dark creatures that are polluting and poisoning the world. The story is very reminiscent of Princess Monoke, similarly emotional and very visually stunning.

Metaphor ReFantazio isn't a high flyer like Persona V, but with the unique Fantasy setting, the pleasant swift round-based combat and the deep Archetype system it's still a good RPG that's worth playing. Despite all the differences, especially for gamers who love JPRG series like Persona and Shin Megami Tensei.

Until Dawn remains a great adventure that feels like a teenie-slasher movie you can play yourself. Beside some technically issues it looks great within the new engine, but does not improve enough to make it a worth buy if you already played the PS4 original. But if you didn't play it yet, like the Quantic-Dream-like gameplay concept and horror movies as well, you are going to enjoy the remastered version from the start to the end.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero" is far from a perfect game. The fights in particular suffer from many small and large weaknesses, and the lack of a "real" story mode is also a pain. The episodes are more of a compromise than a full replacement. It is therefore not enough to generally recommend buying it. Because if you have nothing to do with the "Dragon Ball" universe, "Sparking! Zero" will not convince you either. available

With "Silent Hill 2" Bloober Team has achieved a first-class remake of a true classic game. The new edition surpasses the original in every single category, while the developers managed to skillfully capture its legendary mood.
