Resident Evil: Requiem brings everything we love within the Resident Evil franchise and delivers it at a very high level. Creepy exciting survival horror and action horror full of adrenaline and gore go hand in hand without walking in front of each other's feet. But good too, because those who stumble are torn apart in this game world. This Resident Evil looks beautiful, sounds great and plays damn smooth. Puzzles, horrors and plot twists keep you on the edge of your seat.

Planet of Lana 2 continues to build on what was good about part one, has made the necessary improvements and ultimately offers exactly what we expected from a sequel.

With Docked, Saber Interactive has delivered a pleasant and with moments very fun simulator game. A game where realism is paramount and the experience of working in a harbor on the screen conjures up. The combo with the manage features is a nice addition and offers a nice change in addition to performing assignments. Still, after a while I had a sense of rain and the repetitive quickly surfaced. In addition to the fact that I had a lot of fun during this review, I think that in the long run Docked is only for port enthusiasts and simulator fanatics.

In short, Pokémon LeafGreen remains a charming and nostalgic classic that perfectly grasps the core of Pokémon. Those who fancy a pure adventure in the Kanto region with strategic battles and the fun of collecting will still have a lot of fun here. But players who expect mostly modern gameplay, extensive stories and faster action may find that this classic from the Game Boy Advance era sometimes feels a bit dated.

WWE 2K26 is another great wrestling game, and that's pretty cool when you know that this is the fifth edition in a row in as many years. This game doesn't do much more than its predecessor, but certainly not less. It is mainly the new and sophisticated details that make the difference. The roster is bigger than ever, with more than 400 wrestlers. The gameplay feels smooth and responsive, making you always feel like victory is within reach. Unfortunately, I continue to be bothered by the hair and eye problems with the characters. During my games I also came across a lot of strange bugs. I prefer to keep quiet about The Island and the Ring Pass. Those who buy the standard version must wait until March 13 to enter the ring. Those who order one of the three more expensive editions can get started as early as March 6. Despite the fact that my interest in WWE has cooled down a bit, I still had a great time with WWE 2K26.

As may be clear from my review, Yakuza Kiwami & Dark Ties 3 is a game of extremes. On the one hand, the combat certainly shines with the addition of the Ryukyu style and brutal finishers. The emotional bond between Kazuma and his daughter Haruka, in turn, creates some beautiful scenes. Unfortunately, the game misses the mark in other areas. The story around the orphanage in Okinawa gets going slowly and lacks the necessary passion to really captivate. In addition, you drown in an overwhelming amount of mini-games and side activities that often feel like cheap activity therapy. In short: great action, but a disappointing and slow plot.

Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition – Switch 2 Edition remains a sturdy sci-fi RPG that is more than worth all your attention. I myself am a bigger fan of these kinds of games than of the umpteenth Super Mario, Kirby or other Nintendo Coryfee. If you have already played the game, a free upgrade package is available for your Switch. If you haven't played the game yet, don't hesitate any longer and pack your bags towards Mira. It will probably be the adventure of your life.

Neva: Prologue is a small, atmospheric and lovingly made extra chapter for Neva. It therefore seems to be mainly intended for those who were not yet ready to say goodbye to Alba and Neva. It is not a must-have for everyone, but it is a wonderful addition for those who were touched by Neva. Don't expect a gameplay revolution or long playing time, but do expect an audiovisual gem that gives the bond between humans and animals even more depth. And now say for yourself, what can you still do these days for €2.99?

You already noticed it in my review: God of War: Sons of Sparta is not a new milestone in the franchise. But it is a charming and respectful spin-off that fans will surely taste. As Metroidvania, it gets stuck in the midfield. But he does give us a nice look at the young Kratos. For €29.99 this is a good Spartan snack: tasty, just nutritious enough, but not an extensive main course.

All in all, I expected more from this new scion. The combination of freedom, innovative gameplay and atmospheric environments makes Styx: Blades of Greed highly recommended for any lover of sneaky stealth games. If you are someone who likes pure action, then this is NOT for you! Sneaking, crawling, shadow play, killing (or not) and stealing, it is an art that is neatly portrayed in this PURE stealth game. Stealth gamers will have a big clump on this new scion in the series. On the other hand, there are a lot of elements that bothered me when playing. And unfortunately I have some left over with that.

In advance, I feared a bit that Nioh 3 would be the least good game in the Soulslike series. But nothing could be further from the truth. The game is almost perfect and deserves the maximum score for me. After Elden Ring, it's the best soulslike game you can currently play. The open game world works surprisingly well and offers a nice change between the more linear main missions. All additions and improvements compared to the first two parts are an absolute added value. Nioh 3 may feel a bit 'easier' than its predecessors, but the main bosses offer more than enough challenge. As always in a Team Ninja game, the combat feels phenomenally good and is untouchable in that area. It will be a huge challenge for FromSoftware to surpass Elden Ring someday. The same can be said of Team Ninja and Nioh 3.

The Midnight Walkers offers an atmospheric setting with unique floors, but still struggles with significant balance problems. While the environment and time pressure convince the gas, the PvP battles disappoint because levels are more important than skill. In the current Early Access phase, it is mainly a game with a lot of potential that still needs a lot of polishing to stay standing among the big names.

RIDE 6 promises, as Milestone always promises with every new racing game, many innovations and improvements. Yet the Italian developer once again fails to make it fully true.

Those who are still getting this sizzling finale of one of the best animes of recent years can already look forward to this latest game from the My Hero Academia franchise. It is the ideal way to relive the last season. All's Justice may not be for the diehard fighters, it is a well-deserved final piece of a fantastic anime. Especially for the fans, made with love and looking back on a great 10 years.

If you can remember one thing from this review: Code Vein II has ideas, systems and ambitions, but lacks the necessary polish, coherence and technical finish. Too many small frustrations pile up into a constant annoyance. After experiences with Lies of P, Black Myth: Wukong, Sekiro and other fantastic games in the genre, Code Vein II simply feels less sophisticated. Not because it's harder, but because I always feel like something's wrong. That comparison is inevitable and does not work out favorably here. It just doesn't click, no matter how hard I try.

Ebola Village is not a modern horror experience, not a technical masterpiece and certainly not a new classic. What you do get, however, is a raw, nostalgic survival horror journey that is sometimes amusing, sometimes irritating, but never entirely without charm. The game is a tribute to classic survival horror, but one that has clearly been made on a shoestring. Ebola Village feels familiar, yet dated, as if you’re playing a game that was accidentally released twenty years too late.

I Hate This Place is a survival horror game with crafting elements and a pleasant story. From an isometric point of view, I stepped into an 80's comic book from the first second, full of perfectly chosen details that fit in with that eighties vibe. For me, the game is therefore a direct ode to that time. The length of I Hate This Place is ideal and is full of unique locations and interesting characters. This could be a real indie hit this year.

MIO: Memories In Orbit is a visual masterpiece that proves you don't need hundreds of employees to create a unique world. The hand-drawn splendor of the Vessel immediately sucks you into a mystery that forces you to explore every corner. Although the story remains a bit vague at first and the real genre veterans may not find the biggest challenge, the game offers a perfect balance between frustration and satisfaction for the average player. Thanks to the smart mod system and smooth gameplay, every victory in a bossfight feels deserved. Are you a fan of metroidvanias or are you simply looking for an atmospheric adventure in which you can lose yourself? Don't let MIO pass you by. It is an impressive achievement of Twelve Dixièmes that tastes for more.

Desert Race Adventures is a charming, nostalgic rally-management game that is fun to explore, but too quickly shows its limits. The atmosphere is strong, but the gameplay lacks depth and control to really linger. For leaderboard hunters and retro fans, it is a nice snack. For the rest, it feels like a ride that ends just a little too early.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 Legendary Edition is a complete, but exhaustive collection. The game itself does little wrong, but it doesn't bring a giant treasure on board either. In terms of gameplay, you've seen this before in previous parts or other games in the genre, and unfortunately often in a better way. Visually, this game is lagging behind and you can't get around it. The camera during the chaotic gameplay also doesn't work as it should. Fortunately, you are presented with a nice bundle of content, especially as a new player. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 Legendary Edition is a legendary title on paper, but one that mainly sails on autopilot at sea.
