Even with some unnecessary lengths within the collectables Nintendo and Good-Feel delivered again. Yoshi’s Crafted World is a thoroughly entertaining old-school platformer with puzzle elements.

The surreal world shows a lot of potential but fights as well as puzzles are too simple and too monotonous too often.

Fall of Cybertron didn't manage to surpass Melbourne House's eight year old action-adventure on the PlayStation 2 as my favorite Transformers game. Nonetheless High Moon Studios' interpretation of the conflict between Autobots and Decepticons is definitely worth a look.

Is it better than its Wii U sibling? No doubt. But “better” doesn’t make the DX version automatically “good” - especially since some of the flaws on Wii U like the redundant solo campaign or the still unbalanced fighting squad are not ironed out. At least you get a little more content and improved multiplayer capabilities.

Warzone 2.0 is the necessary modernization of the still entertaining Battle Royale variant of Call of Duty. DMZ as an extraction mode is a successful extension.

Arkane studios don’t just quote System Shock but show in all areas how pleaeantly challenging modern games can be. There are technical shortcomings (mainly on consoles), but in the long run (especially the most intense last third) you will be more surprised than in almost any other game in recent years.

Quotation forthcoming.

If you like slasher movies from Halloween to Scream and back, you’ll get your kicks out of Until Dawn. The often mentioned butterfly effect is underutilized and merely an illusion, but the script with its twists and turns will give you chills and the occasional scare. Nice.

Relaxed photo safari with plenty of charming Pokémo. But the concept is very limited and shows problems with picture recognition and assessment.

Form a historical point of view, this is an interesting collection of exotic handheld oldies in a technically great new form. But the games themselves are not really that exciting anymore.

It still is a charming mix of Jump’N’Run and editor. But while Sumo Digital managed to enhance the latter, the light footed magical approach to the Story of the first got lost – obviously that was one of Media Molecule's specialties.

Focuses more on action and less on tactical advancement. Additionally the campaign is rarely a challenge. If you're into multiplayer (regardless if cooperative or versus) the Ghosts might be worth a closer look though. But if you're hoping to get a continuation of the virtues of Advanced Warfighter, you will be disappointed.

This is a fascinating experiment with great ideas. Unfortunately story and game get lost in a superficial void.

Gamefreak managed to enhance the nostalgia of past games with creative improvements. Regardless if you are a veteran or a beginner, there are loads of incentives to catch em all.

Saints & Sinners delivers a tense fight for survival in VR with crafting-focus and some blemishes like inadequate explanations of relevant mechanics or poor AI.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Giant Tides is a powerful 3D platformer with sponge-tastic gameplay flow and perfect childish humor – only some annoying race tracks slowed down my fun.

The origins as a hobby project are too visible from the get-go. Clumsy controls and problematic camera are not up to par - but unfortunately these are the cornerstone of any decent platformer.

The mechanics will keep you hooked with a fresh mix of strategic planning and real time action. Unfortunately the presentation can’t keep up.

More than just a definitive edition, this revamped vision of an undervalued hack&slay series mixes everything together that you loved about Van Helsing and Katarina and puts a fresh spin on it. Nice!

Small and sometimes clumsy, but nonetheless charming action adventure in the tradition of The Legend of Zelda.

Yes, Stella Glow gives you nothing but old-fashioned tactics roleplaying. But it also is challenging, while adding a motivating character development.

Assassin's Creed Shadows immerses us in a beautiful and, above all, atmospheric feudal Japan, where individual aspects of the game have been cleverly improved. However, an unexciting story, weaknesses in the AI and the repetitive, monotonous gameplay prevent the latest installment in the series from generating much excitement.

It was a good idea to combine Layton and Wright. It could have been better though if both elements were merged more.

The bold mix of mature themed story-adventure and motivating puzzles works surprisingly well and glues you to the pad. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary you should give Catherine a chance. Most likely you will fall in love with her.

The pinball experience behind the lenses of PSVR is just as great as it was on Rift. But here (and even on PS4 Pro) you get jaggy visuals that make sure you don’t play as long as you intended.

Two years after its’ premiere The Banner Saga still is a creative example for a well conceived mix of art design, storytelling and turn-based tactics well worth an award – this is chess with drama, battles and consequences. But technical problems and the occasional bug make sure show that the console version is not as polished as the PC brother – too bad.

Metal: Hellsinger is an exciting genre fusion with a great soundtrack. Scope, arsenal, boss design and enemy variety leave a lot to be desired.

You like jump&runs and find the world of Little Big Planet adoring? Then there is no way, you should pass this game by. On PS5 the visuals are crisp, while audiohaptic feedback enhances this charming platformer.
