TopSpin 2K25 (PS5)

Der Genrekönig ist zurück und hat nichts von seiner Faszination eingebüßt. TopSpin 2K25 ist eine hervorragende Tennis-Simulation, die mit tadellosem Gameplay, stimmigem Umfang und motivierenden Modi begeistert.

Die Statik vieler Ballwechsel lässt zu wünschen übrig, alles in allem ist Top Spin 2K25 aber eine ebenso vielseitige wie zugängliche Simulation mit gelungener Karriere für Solisten und zahlreichen Möglichkeiten on- und offline zu spielen.

Top Spin 2K25 gets the fundamentals right with fun tennis gameplay but the rest of the barebones package doesn't reach the previous highs of the franchise.

TopSpin 2K25 aptly brings the beloved franchise back to center court, showing that not only does the series still have legs, but so does the sim-tennis genre as a whole. Though its modes are somewhat repetitive and it’s missing several high-profile pros at launch, TopSpin 2K25 serves up a compelling package for tennis fans.

On the court, TopSpin 2K25 is brilliant. It's realistic, satisfying, and feels great to play, especially as you get to grips with the timing needed for every shot type. It's just a shame that such good tennis gameplay is housed in such bland modes that have you grind for very little sense of progression.

TopSpin 2K25 is a great return to form and rewards those who stick with it while learning the ropes, becoming a true tennis god in the process. It's not perfect, but if you have any passing interest in tennis, this is well worth your time.
