A very big very little adventure with lightning fast quests, lovable characters and loads of references to roleplaying games.

I like the fact that the difficulty level was ramped up a bit. But on the other hand the AI still leaves room for improvement, while the setting is not as appealing as Sapienza with its freedom and beauty.

When it comes to artdesign, setting and music this is the best Fighting Fantasy you can get for your tablet. The storytelling is not as good though.

A fun return to Hyrule that doesn’t come without small obstacles, but nevertheless serves a diversified and detailed adventure for Zelda-fans.

Why the loot and upgrade system, Housemarque? At its core Alienation is a glorious twinstick shooter with interesting classes, beautiful visuals, top notch pacing and a challenging coop mode. It didn’t need the Diablo-ish influences that pull me right out of the flow.

This is easily one of the best beat' em ups out there and I am happy that on the PC SFxT didn't lose a thing.

Outland took three years to appear on PC but the long wait was absolutely worthwhile. This mythical Jump&Run is as appealing on PC as it was on consoles and is simply one of the best of its kind in recent years.

It doesn’t reach the elegant brilliance of its spiritual successor. Options in attack and defense are limited, presentation sometimes is confusing. But the poker for the right tactics keeps the momentum going and delivers intense matches.

Yes, some mechanics feel a bit old-fashioned after ten years. But as a no-frills arcade racer with an open world and hundreds of races, tasks and cars this is till one hell of a ride.

Judgment is a step back for the series, even though the fight against the Locust is still enjoyable. But the most fun you’ll find in multiplayer: The campaign gains momentum in co-op and the versus modes will keep you glued to the pad for hours.

The presentation of battles and especially cut scenes is extraordinary. Unfortunately the tactical options are rather shallow, while there is not enough content to satisfy in the long run.

This is good strategy, nothing more, nothing less. While it captures the spirit of the original in terms of art design and direction, it shows a few annoying deficits like faulty AI, lack of content and tight control options.

L.A. Noire transcended quite well into this console generation. The crime solving adventure still has some highly captivating elements. But it also kept its deficits like the boring fist fights, the trivial shoot-outs or too little mechanical variety overall.

A solid alchemist adventure that sticks to the formula. Don’t expect anything new.

A rather short, but tremendously fascinating and relaxed puzzle trip through a world full of bizarre creatures and mechanisms.

4K and ray-tracing seem to push the Series X to the limit, but in perfomance mode System Redux definitely looks better than the original – and runs smoother. Nonetheless the core stays the same: a weird cyberpunk thriller with repititive mind-games.

Compared to the similar War of the Roses you get tighter controls and more game modes, but it lacks in entertainment value.

With its 30fps-limit and the backscaled graphics it doesn’t feel as fluid or impressive as its big siblings, but nonetheless the Switch-version is proof that Nintendo’s hybrid and visually challenging titles don’t have be natural enemies.

FIFA 20 stagnates on a solid level. Volta can’t utilize the fresh potential of street football enough while on the pitch the balance between offense and defense is missing.

I am always appreciative if designers approach a genre from a different angle. And this is exactly what Heamimont did with hack&slay. Infused with action-adventure elements plus two engrossing add-ons (especially the Motörhead homage Through the Ages) this is a serious contender to the throne of Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls.

GRID Autosport shows one thing first and foremost: That Switch is unsuitable as a racing platform if a game wants to show off more than arcade mechanics – even though the combination of mobile gaming and GameCube-controller promises quite some fun.

This expansion has its problems, but the moral dilemma as well as the complex consequences make up for it.

As an online-shooter this is my dream come true: It rewards careful progress instead of a quick rush. Positioning is more important than reaction time and teamwork is a must. This is tactically challenging and straightforward action at its best.

Lovely characters, stylish 2D HD graphics and a catchy soundtrack - it could have been so nice if performance weaknesses and accumulated interruptions hadn't noticeably spoiled the experience.

A really good and extensive free-to-play sequel to the legendary hero shooter, which loses some of its character, but has been carefully renewed and fortunately not become too greedy.

It is a pity that you cannot fight together with others players against the zombie hordes. Because behind the sometimes ugly façade hides an interesting living (or dead) world in which you truly have to fight to survive.

Civilization 7 manages to surprise as well as challenge me and my expectations at a classic Civ-game. The developers dare to do one of the most drastic gameplay changes in the series and break with old patterns. It is a fine line between revolution and alienation.

Conceptually this is a very good expansion, which unfortunately can’t live up to its potential in its current form.
