    Kirby and the Forgotten Land
    A good game. After initial skepticism because of the staid level layout in many places, I finally put Kirby and the Forgotten Land back on the shelf with a good feeling: In over 35 hours I elicited all the secrets from the cheerfully colorful adventure - and that kept me going until the end gives joy. However, the story is also a bit too stupid for a simple jump'n'run and I didn't like the visual design of many bosses.

    Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin
    A charming monster hunt with turn-based battles for up to four players and Pokémon-like beast nurturing. But on Switch you will encounter framerate issues occasionally.

    Resident Evil 4

    WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers
    A narratively weak Soulslike, it nevertheless boasts a brilliant and challenging combat system and fresh ideas. On top of that, it has one of the best game worlds in the genre and stunning visuals.

    Spyro Reignited Trilogy
    While mechanically you can sense the age of the originals, visually the original PSone trilogy was superbly modernized. A great addition for any action adventure fan.

    My Friend Pedro
    So this what happens if you put a 2D-Max-Payne, Bulletstorm and The Club in a blender. Unfortunately the visceral action suffers from some visual hiccups.

    World of Final Fantasy Maxima
    Entertaining journey into the slightly “different” Final Fantasy world Gryimore, filled with Pokémon’esque creature collecting as well as challenging active time battle fights.

    Oxenfree II: Lost Signals
    A thrillingly told mystery thriller with strong characters, difficult themes, beautiful graphics and fine sound, which is not exactly challenging in terms of gameplay, but tops the predecessor in almost every respect.

    Operation: Tango
    Operation: Tango is an entertaining asymmetric coop game for two, in which communication is not only vital but the strongest weapon available.

    Keeper
    A creative, wacky solo adventure in which the highlight is the incredibly bizarre game world. However, Keeper remains rather thin in terms of gameplay right up to the end.

    Narita Boy

    The Jackbox Party Pack

    Resident Evil 4
    In terms of suspense, pacing or action this still is a masterpiece. But after almost a dozen years visually you can feel the age. So if you played it on any other system, you can pass this one by.

    Kerbal Space Program
    That this highly complex simulation appears on consoles, is remarkable. But with its unoptimized and overloaded pad controls the challenge to make progress and eventually get into space is even higher then on PC.

    LEGO Jurassic World
    Like never before Traveller’s Tales managed to capture the spirit of the source material, starting with the original score up to the almost perfect reenactment of iconic scenes by Lego characters. As for the rest: Well, it’s a Lego game.

    World of Final Fantasy
    A lighthearted expedition into the realms of the famous roleplaying serious that mixes elements of Pokemon with one of the most refined versions of the Active-Time-Battle-system yet.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages
    At its best, Doom: The Dark Ages is a fantastic first-person shooter with a brutal combat system that is convincing almost across the board. However, the dragon and mech missions as well as the uncreative open level structures make sure that the pacing doesn't always feel perfectly smooth.

    Sunderfolk
    Sunderfolk is a good start to introduce beginners to the world of tabletop games without a complex set of rules and a lot of setup. The controls via app are technically well done, while at the same time the gameplay is challenging enough to allow the player to spend hours and hours in the world of Arden.

    Deathtrap
    Interesting mix of hack&slay and tower defense, that shines in coop, but falls short in terms of towers and traps. Good clean fun, though.

    Mass Effect Legendary Edition
    This is an appropriately enhanced re-release of an epic SciFi-adventure. Bioware created one of the most engaging universes in gaming history. And it still is captivating.

    To the Moon
    A moving story with charming charaters and the occasional mechanical flaw. But overall it didn’t lose anything of ist original fascination.
    • 82 Metascore

    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
    With little more than 5 hours playtime Revengeance is rather short. But I prefer a short but intense experience to a boring one that last 50+ hours. The story is surprisingly deep, the action is fast and furious.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Rising Storm
    This is refreshingly different from run of the mill action like Call of Duty. Even after the engine update it isn’t pretty, but what it lacks in beauty it makes up for with striking realism and a tense atmosphere.

    Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    Samus Aran makes a strong comeback: Metroid Prime 4 is not only a great game on the Nintendo Switch 2 but also looks fantastic. The only things it really didn't need were the open world section and a few mission types that seem stuck in time.
    • 70 Metascore

    Just Dance 2015
    Just Dance is Just Dance is Just Dance. Ubisoft didn’t change the formula, took a little bit off here, added a little there and focused more on community. The DLC-incompatibility is a needless nuisance.

    I Am Alive
    Even with annoying design decisions like sacrificing atmosphere and deeper morale questions for the sake of arcade feeling this is a very interesting take on survival action. It manages to entertain you for about five hours and also serves as an appetizer for everybody looking forward to Naughty Dog's The Last of Us.

    The Outer Worlds 2

    Spelunky 2
    Spelunky 2 was enhanced sensibly, offers a great balance and simply is not as unforgiving as its predecessor. The online mode is more or less a failure, though.

    The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
    Sometimes The Vanishing forgets to lead the player into uncertainty – it feels too safe, even though Poe and Lovecraft are quoted here and then. But that aside, this is an interesting adventure that utilizes Unreal Engine 4 on the PS4, resulting in some of the most memorable scenery you can get.

    Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
    Only on the console you'll get basic explanations as well as comfortable crafting without having to read through millions of forum pages. But the pad-explored worlds are limited and not infinite like on the PC with the result of you losing a sense of freedom. It is still fascinating, though.

    Offworld Trading Company
    You don’t fight your opponents with bullets, artillery or troops but with share prices, market value and austerity.
