The Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is a successful next-gen port that will delight fans of the original games for many hours, as well as some new fans who may not have played the games back then. If you like well thought-out, team-based strategy battles on large maps and exciting space battles in the Star Wars universe, the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection is definitely a recommended purchase.

Dungeon Drafters is a strong representative of its genre with its customisable gameplay, variety of mini-games and unique battle design. Unfortunately, the game failed to fully convince us, it starts off strong but fails to capitalise on what makes it so great to create an entertaining experience for the player, as the gameplay becomes increasingly frustrating the further you get for various reasons.

Hotel Renovator is a cosy game in which you can give free rein to your creativity in hotel design. The game offers many different design options, allowing you to give each room an individual style. After the 10-15 hour story, you can let off steam in either sandbox mode or add more floors to your hotel to renovate. Technically, we had very little to criticise, which is why we can heartily recommend the game.

The Outlast Trials" is the best co-op survival horror game of the year and impresses with fantastically staged trials. "The Outlast Trials" convinces with sadistic ideas and provides maximum thrills in the evening hours. Red Barrels has definitely given us the horror co-op fun we've always wanted. That's why we strongly recommend playing the game with friends, because this co-op experience is definitely unique. We are excited to see what else the game has to offer in the future and can recommend it to any horror fan with strong nerves.

With "WWE 2K24" we get the most comprehensive wrestling game of which the predecessors of the series can take a leaf out of their book. With a really large WWE roster consisting of more than 200+ playable superstars and legends, a decent number of gameplay improvements, new match types and revised career modes, WWE fans will get their money's worth. The technical aspects of the game were particularly convincing compared to WWE 2K23 and made the gameplay experience more palatable with some much-needed fine-tuning.

With Expeditions: A MudRunner Game we get a graphically appealing, authentic, challenging and above all fun simulation in which we have to navigate with trucks or cars through remote and hard-to-reach terrain. Technically, we had no problems apart from the crashes mentioned above. As no prior knowledge is required, the game is ideal for newcomers as well as Mudrunner veterans and fans. In general, we found the game more difficult than its predecessors as it often required better route planning and good fuel management.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake" is an emotional journey that won us over across the board. The game not only impresses with its grandiose narrative, but also with its unique game mechanics, which make for an unforgettable adventure. "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake" is a successful remake with a playing time of just under 4 hours. Even though the playing time is relatively short, it offers a unique experience that must be played.

With Skull & Bones, we get an arcadey ship adventure without much depth. We had a few hours of fun in co-op, but the variety was soon lacking. If you want to spend a cosy evening sailing across the sea with your friends, you could consider buying it. We wouldn't advise anyone else to do so, as years-old games such as Assassin's Creed Black Flag have shown how good the game could have been.

Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator" is a soul warmer that will provide many relaxing hours of play. It's probably the best cozy simulator at the moment and it's captivating. "Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator" captivates with its beautiful aesthetics and convinces with its nice story. If you like cozy games, you should definitely pick this one up, because it's incredibly fun to immerse yourself in this colourful world. "Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator" is a fantastic game for cozy fans and newcomers to the genre. There are no limits to how we can create our dream garden.

Helldivers 2" is a fantastic third-person co-op shooter that can mesmerise us together with other players. "Helldivers 2" proves that it can be incredible fun to go into battle together with other elite soldiers. "Helldivers 2" is currently impressive, but the game needs a little more content for long-term motivation so that it can continue to offer variety. We can warmly recommend "Helldivers 2".

Smalland: Survive the Wilds" is a successful open-world multiplayer survival adventure game with a playful and beautiful world. "Smalland: Survive the Wilds is particularly fun with friends and offers a dynamic world that provides plenty of variety. However, the game's biggest weakness is base building. This was difficult to master on the console, as the controls are not quite as user-friendly.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is currently the best JRPG available at the time of testing. With its extensive endgame and online co-op function, Relink offers us enormous gaming fun. However, we would have liked a more in-depth story, as we were not really convinced by it. It lacks depth, excitement and variety. The strength of "Granblue Fantasy: Relink" clearly lies in the endgame, when it comes to fighting the numerous bosses. We are looking forward to future content and can recommend the game despite the lack of story.

With "Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft", we received a fantastic remaster that impressed us. It clearly shows that old classics can still shine in modern times. The "new" adventure of Lara Croft is simply great. However, you have to bear in mind that we're still dealing with old games here, so I have to say right at the beginning that you have to have a high frustration threshold when it comes to one or two jump passages. Apart from that and a few bugs, it's a nice remaster, which is why we'd like to see more of them at this point. Aspyr has produced a really successful game here.

Foamstars is a successful 4vs4 online foam party shooter that is unbelievable fun. With its fast rounds, the game is convincing and is probably the best foam party of the year. Bath-Vegas is currently convincing, but it remains to be seen how the game can maintain long-term motivation. Foamstars is still new, so we'll have to wait and see what the next few seasons bring. But we are optimistic.

As was to be expected from the developers DON'T NOD, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden provides us with an exciting but also very emotional story that kept us hooked from start to finish. On the way to New Eden Town, we strengthen the bond between our two banners, get to know many well-written characters, uncover creepy secrets and explore varied landscapes. If you like mysterious action RPGs and have a penchant for the supernatural, you can hardly go wrong with your decision to pick up this game. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is an emotional rollercoaster ride with a high replay value.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" is a third-person action adventure game with a chaotic storyline. However, with a playing time of just under 10 hours, the story is already complete. The endgame is not quite convincing at this point, which is why there is still a lot to do in terms of content. As already mentioned, this is a live service game, so we will have to be patient for the time being. If you want to dive into the adventure, we recommend doing so in co-op to maximise your enjoyment of the game.

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story" is an emotional, story-driven adventure that impressed us in our test. However, with a playing time of just under 5 hours, the adventure is a little too short. However, Song of Nunu impresses with its story, great variety and is definitely a game for all age groups. If you're looking for a cosy game for the couch, you definitely can't go wrong here.

With "The Last of Us Part II Remastered", the most beautiful version is released natively on the PlayStation 5 console and impresses with its new features. The game doesn't change the story and scores more with the many extras that come with the version. The new game mode "No Return" is definitely a highlight alongside the first-class story and brings a huge amount of variety. We can recommend the remaster.

With Speed Crew, you and your friends get an entertaining party game that starts with simple levels and increases in complexity towards the end. We enjoyed the game and were definitely impressed by its quirky levels and ideas. In our opinion, however, the game is too easy in terms of difficulty, as we were able to play almost all the levels on gold at the first attempt without having to familiarise ourselves with the layout beforehand. As the game does not have a leaderboard, there is no reason (other than your own incentive) to earn more points, although the set time limit would usually have allowed it.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is definitely one thing: a crazy JRPG of superlatives! As befits a Like a Dragon game, the game impresses us with its overwhelming variety of gameplay. From a beautifully staged continuation of Ichiban's journey into the unknown and a detailed recreation of Honolulu to a long list of gameplay improvements and a high level of comfort, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has thought of a lot. With over 30 hours of gameplay for the main story and a total of over 50 hours of gameplay for the platinum trophy and its completion, the game is definitely not boring and players will definitely get their money's worth. For old fans and especially for newcomers, this game is an absolute must and therefore a clear recommendation to buy.
