With added partygames Taiko no Tatsujin on Switch is significantly better than its PS4-sibling. Nonetheless the poor JoyCon controls stick out.

Shinsekai is a quite atmospheric maritime adventure with not only a dense sound experience but some neat design ideas as well.

Watch out Capcom, SNK and Namco: A new challenger has entered the ring. Although you could reduce it to tits and ass at first glance, you'd make a terrible mistake. Skullgirls offers not only outer but also inner values.

Rogue Trader is a late highlight for those looking for challenging combat and an exciting, if text-heavy, story.

Yes, the fights could be more challenging and mechanically more diverse. But in the end the mixture of tabletop, trading cards and real-time action works surprisingly well.

Expanding on the strengths of its predecessor (in its Dirctor’s Cut, of course) while trying to eradicate its weaknesses, this a thoroughly entertaining ego puzzler with an interesting story.

The controls are top notch, the sickness factor bearable for most of the time and the visuals are among the best you can get on PSVR right now. But the lack of content harms this proof that VR and ego-action indeed is possible.

The renowned but lately overused Telltale formula works with Guardians, but don’t expect it to be as entertaining as the movies. The direction is spot on, the story is okay, but lacks the punch.

Revelations might be a bit older and it certainly can’t get rid of its 3DS origin. But in case you haven’t played it yet on another system, you’ll get a decent and competent port of game that managed to capture the spirit of the classic Resident Evils.

You don’t get the ultimate complete packagae nor a technically perfect conversion. But Duke Nukem 3D still is an entertaining oldschool shooter.

In the beginning State of Decay is a remarkably ugly and trashy zombie bashing. But the more you dive into the fight for survival with its base and resource management, the open dynamic world gets more and more attractive – despite the AI problems.

Headlander is a uniquely funny, sometimes weird and visually very distinctive action-adventure.

This was a pleasent surprise: While I was expecting something like a cheap Super Meat Boy clone, the creative corpse mechanic keeps this hardcore platformer fresh.

Transformed is one of the best fun-racers in recent months and a classy alternative to Mario Kart, whose dominance is crumbling away. Without the frame-rate problems during split-screen races the speeding hedgehog might even have outpaced the racing plumber. Nonetheless with GamePad support and exclusive modes the Wii U version snatches the pole position.

Decent retro beat-em-up with an interesting battle system. But you’ll have to invest some time to understand and use all the subtleties it has to offer.

Classic Lego’ish action adventure in an open world with bucket loads of Zucker/Abrahams style of humour and the coop mode that was dearly missed in the Wii U original. Unfortunately the Switch version suffers from technical shortcomings like frame rate issues.

Story and humor are less entertaining than in the last years, the mechanics are a mix of well known elements on one side and entertaining new ones on the other. And while the trap masters are little more than overpriced doorkeepers, the trapping concept is cool and technically very well presented.

The old fashioned visuals collide with the humongous amount of content and the immense tactical depth.

The typical motivational loop of level exploration, dynamic action, death and character improvement works well. That is until it falls into the hole of redundant content that eventually catches up to almost all roguelikes.

This puzzle concept works best on a big roomscale stage.

Weird, hypnotic and etremely relaxing. In the long run it suffers a bit from repition, but nonetheless this is a fascinating arcade trip.

Entertaining strategy that lacks the humorous punch of its predecessors. A jack-of-all-trades, but master of none.

The second part of Nihon Falcoms rpg saga gains momentum as a revamped civil war drama centered on the elite students of the Thor military academy.

Telltale is still quite a bit away from the quality of the first season, but seems to be on track for a gripping finale.

While superficially Syndicate is not worse than older Assassin’s Creeds and gives you interesting new features, the magic is gone. Visually a step back, incoherent and bug ridden it might be the first sign that Ubisoft has to give the series a break in order to catch the creative spark again.

A faithful remaster of the PSP classic: Game mechanics are a little gray, but atmospherically up to date, it works as a prequel for the original game and remake.

Blitz proves that rhythm games can work without additional hardware, but even though it reminds sometimes of Harmonix' early masterpieces Frequency and Amplitude it lacks substance as a stand-alone-game. But throw the cross-compatibility with the instrument based brethren in the mix and you get more than 20 new songs to play for a fair price.

Although you’ll find just a few fresh touches within the proven formula, they lead to a few interesting new tactics to take your opponents’ worms down. You want Worms? You’ll get Worms.
