With its atmospheric setting and gripping gameplay, Dead Take lays a very good foundation for a new horror experience. The oppressive atmosphere combined with the innovative narrative style using live-action videos gives the genre a new dynamic.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 impresses with a narratively dense story mode, well thought-out gameplay expansions and technical finesse. Every new mode, every character update and every visual detail has been realised with a noticeable sensitivity for the original, while at the same time bearing its own signature. An anime fighter that not only makes fans' hearts beat faster, but is also at the top of its genre thanks to its substance.

"The Roottrees are Dead" proves to be a remarkable remake of a truly ingenious puzzle game. The story is graphically beautiful and lovingly designed, making it immediately captivating, and the jazz-noir soundtrack perfectly emphasises the atmosphere.

Tales of the Shire is not a game that overwhelms with mechanics, tells spectacular twists and turns or keeps players enthralled for hours. And that is precisely its greatest strength. It is a feel-good game through and through for a short holiday in the Shire, where you can simply forget about everyday life. The relaxed atmosphere, the lovingly designed world and the focus on the simple life of the hobbits make for a pleasantly decelerated gaming experience. Anyone who enjoys collecting, gardening, cooking and decorating will quickly feel at home here. However, the game often only scratches the surface in terms of content: the quests are simple, the inventory is too small and the potential in some areas of gameplay unfortunately remains unutilised.

Killing Floor 3 offers a technically solid and graphically appealing basis for an intense co-op shooter experience. The survival mode for up to six players ensures exciting battles against monstrous zeds and the new weapon system brings tactical depth to the game. However, the current lack of content, especially the small number of bosses and game modes, significantly limits long-term motivation.

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is more than just another representative of the popular genre. WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is the best Soulslike of the year. With its challenging but fair combat system, a well thought-out skill and magic system, a profound lore and an atmospherically dense game world, Leenze Games has made a strong statement.

The free update for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet on the Nintendo Switch 2 impressively demonstrates how much potential there still is in existing games.

FBC: Firebreak is a successful co-op PvE shooter with fresh ideas, charming chaos and an audiovisual style that clearly stands out from the genre standards. The title really comes into its own when played as a team. Whether during hectic repairs under enemy pressure, tactically coordinated boss battles or curious shower moments.

Zombie Army VR has the potential to be an exciting co-op shooter in virtual reality and does a lot of things right, especially in solo mode. However, some technical and gameplay weaknesses spoil the overall picture, especially in co-op mode! Arena battles that are too long, unfair ammunition, balancing problems and frequent disconnections with loss of progress are real gameplay killers.

Lost in Random: The Eternal Die is not a simple sequel, but a bold evolution of the unusual universe of Lost in Random. It shifts perspective, tone, and structure, yet remains surprisingly coherent at its core. Aleksandra is a strong protagonist, the new system of relics, cards, and dice mechanics feels well thought-out, and the four biomes are challenging without being frustrating. Above all, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die just feels right.
