Moomin: Midsummer Madness is a charming and accessible point-and-click adventure that perfectly captures the warm and nostalgic atmosphere of the Moomin franchise. The beautiful picture-book style, recognizable characters, and creative puzzles make for an entertaining experience suitable for all ages. However, the game doesn’t quite deliver in every area.

With Remothered: Red Nun’s Legacy, Stormind leaves behind an outstanding legacy for a franchise I had lost faith in several years ago. Amen.

Warhammer Survivors is a lighthearted, entertaining entry into the “survivor” subgenre, but it doesn’t quite reach the same heights as the best games in this category. In any case, praise the Omnissiah and go down fighting against the grind.

With Probably Stolen, you have a versatile management game on your hands. Trade, production, and political dynamics come together in a comprehensive experience.

TANUKI: Pon's Summer manages to transform a simple summer job into a charming adventure. Delivering packages, playing mini-games, and restoring the shrine form the foundation, but it’s the colorful world, unique inhabitants, and strong soundtrack that make the game truly memorable.

With the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Nintendo has proven that it is indeed possible to re-release one of the best games ever made. During development, the team made a conscious decision to stay as true to the original as possible, while still adding the right technical improvements to make the game even more enjoyable to play.

Lightyear Frontier is a charming and relaxing farming sim that puts an original spin on the genre with its alien setting and Mechsuit. The colorful world invites you to explore it, the building system is incredibly satisfying to use, and thanks to the extensive difficulty settings, you can tailor the adventure entirely to your own preferences. Still, the game doesn’t quite deliver in every area.

Although I don’t want to label WDR Studios LLC’s debut game as “terrible,” it fails to impress in any way and offers me very little to work with.

If you have a group of friends with whom you can organize a fun night of karaoke, then Let's Sing 2027 is definitely worth checking out again. Developer Voxler has implemented a number of improvements that make Let's Sing 2027 an enjoyable experience. However, Career Mode lacks content; you’ll be done with it after just six songs. In general, the selection of game modes feels a bit sparse, and this installment’s tracklist lacks variety in genres. As a result, you’ll quickly find yourself having to shell out extra money for the VIP pass.

The gameplay in DEMONS’ NIGHT FEVER was okay in the end, although there were quite a few annoyances. After seeing the trailer, however, I had expected more; especially when it came to the dialogue. I’d hoped for a funny game where I could unleash my ultimate evil side, but instead I was stuck with a depressed guy in his late twenties and a cat who made jokes about genitals and copied and pasted memes from Reddit. Especially considering the price tag, the game just isn’t worth it.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is an absolute must-play for anyone who loves first-person shooters. The game features an incredible campaign that strongly evokes the franchise’s heyday, a surprisingly enjoyable addition in the form of the expansive DMZ mode, and a traditional multiplayer mode that’s virtually flawless in terms of gameplay. Keep in mind, though, that I’m specifically talking about the complete package here. If you’re only into single-player, this installment won’t do much to draw you toward multiplayer. So if you’re looking for a bombastic story, you might be wise to wait a bit longer for a better price.

Phantom Blade Zero was definitely worth the wait. The story is fine, but it’s clear that developer S-GAME wanted to focus primarily on spectacle and cool visuals. And you notice that right away. The game is packed with cool action scenes, and it feels amazing to wield Soul’s sword.

Fangtopia is a cozy puzzle game with a cute horror twist and a surprisingly strategic foundation. Placing tiles, combining biomes, and unlocking monsters to score as many points as possible creates a smooth gameplay loop that you’ll quickly get the hang of. The three game modes and collectible stickers offer some extra content, but the differences between the modes are minor, and the variety remains limited.

Total Mayhem Games has really tried to create a very ambitious sequel to the earlier We Were Here games, but seems to have lost sight of a number of important things in the process. That ambition has come at the expense of the pacing, the clarity of the puzzles, and the technical quality of the game. And that’s truly a huge shame. Potentially, this is an excellent game, but certain design choices make it feel more like a mediocre experience.

One Piece: Grand Gourmet is a fun and lighthearted little treat for fans, though the colorful visuals and tasty dishes ultimately can't quite mask the game's repetitive nature.

Stupid Never Dies is an action RPG with a lot of personality, but also a few major flaws. The story about a zombie who wants to save his dead lover is strange enough to pique your curiosity, but it also comes across as a bit creepy. Davy’s style and transformations give the game a unique identity. Collecting gear and upgrades also ensures that you have something to build on after each run. Unfortunately, the combat is slow and clunky, while the repetitive dungeon runs unnecessarily drag out the story.

So there’s definitely been some progress, and the game has a strong foundation, but I can’t truly recommend Planet Zoo 2 until at least the many bugs, the issues with the online features, and the crashes have been fixed.

Final Fantasy Resonance may not be absolutely perfect, but this release is certainly a promising sign. Promising because it proves that Square Enix is indeed still capable of—and willing to—create good, classic turn-based Final Fantasy games.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is as enjoyable as ever and, above all, brings back memories of the good old days of Wii Sports Resort. There are a few more sports available than in Nintendo Switch Sports, though I personally think Nintendo could have added a few more. The controls feel great, the music creates that wonderfully soothing vibe, and there’s more than enough to do.

Just Dance: Decades of Hits is one of the strongest entries in the series in recent years. The varied track list, featuring hits from different decades, provides hours of dancing fun, and Adventure Mode offers a fun way to discover the songs. The return of multiple Dancer Cards is also a welcome improvement, especially for players who enjoy dancing with friends and family. Still, not all of the old issues have been resolved.
