Most of the time it feels fascinating to shape an ancient civilization. You have a plethora of options at your disposal but sometimes it can become frustrating with the amount of detail you are involved with. That the presentation is very static doesn’t help either.

This is a very special roleplaying experience. Technical shortcomings are more than ironed out by well written dialogue, consequences a believable world.

A clean port of a solid brawler with an interesting, albeit short story campaign. If you were battling Superman on another system already there is not much here to convince you of purchasing it again, though.

Age is the worst enemy for this former masterpiece. With the core mechanics unchanged (this is not a remake) the weak points like pathfinding and control issues weigh in a lot. But then again, the strengths like unit and faction balance are still evident as well.

Will this old-school odyssey become the new Monkey Island class leader in the click-along segment? Not at all! But a damn pixelated grindhouse movie to play along to has been born – with a hero like a whip crack.

Exciting and very unique shooter for sophisticated players, that mainly lacks mode variation.

In some areas (most notably the lack of voiceover) you can recognize the age of the originals. But with its slightly different, more puzzle and exploration oriented approach to the Lego formula the trip to Hogwarts still stands out.

The game with the Lady and the giant sword may start slow, but the political background as well as the relationship of the main characters drag you into this beautifully designed world with its well executed tactical role playing.

On consoles this whodunnit adventure has its flaws, but in its best moments this is an intense, clever constructed as well as challenging experience.

Rise of the Tomb Raider still clings a little too tightly to certain elements of its predecessor and has problems with enemy AI. Nonetheless with the renewed focus on actual tomb raiding and exploration Lara slowly returns to her older grand self.

In the beginning, I was heavily disappointed – and not only by the sub-par visuals. But under the ugly surface sleeps a tactical masterpiece with immense depth and an excellent character development.

This whodunnit adventure has its flaws, but in its best moments this is an intense, clever constructed as well as challenging experience.

While one table takes its strength from its minimalistic design and interesting stories, the second one is one of the most effects-laden pinball tables in Zen history, but sacrifices mechanically challenging missions for the visual splendor.

I was very skeptical, but Prison Architect is a prime example that this kind of strategy can work on consoles.

The challenge level of the puzzles is quite low at times. But the design as well as the atmosphere and especially the dialogue between Ava and the AI will keep you going. If you think Portal is too difficult for you, give this one a chance.

Quotation forthcoming.

With Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Bioware is returning to its more successful past. The fantasy role-playing game captivates with exciting characters and a crisp combat system, but is not quite able to revive the heights of its previous successful years.

Quotation forthcoming.

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.

The visceral VR action places itself somewhere between The Matrix’ Neo, Max Payne and Raiden from Metal Gear Solid, but is held back slightly by the technical limitations of PlayStation VR.

Small engines, big fun: Once you started it is hard to put the Vita down. Head-to-head online duels are sorely missed, though.

The Ultimate Edition is definitely the best console version of one of Remedy’s finest games. But even with all DLC included it lacks the fidelity that you can get on a high-end PC.

It is not the prettiest undead game out there. And with the omission of the second screen (even though it would have been possible on Vita or SmartGlass devices) the great atmosphere and immersion suffer, which characterized the WiiU version. But at its core it still is a tense and hard fought fight for survival.

Technically very clean Switch port of this equally atmospheric as well as beautiful adventure – now with photo mode and gyro controls.

Stylish noir thriller with an interesting story, but mechanical limitations – despite a variety of possible interactions.

It is not an epic strategy game like Dune but this little gem offers something for almost everybody: Beginners will not be overburdened while experienced players will get a challenge with the unusual mechanics and veterans can ramp up the difficulty level to get their money's worth.

Meticulously catered to PS4 the remastered versions deliver – with increased playability and additional content.

Except for slight deficits in terms of controls and visuals, Cities Skylines is a great console port of an exceptional city-builder. It is harmed by the lack of editors, though.
