A really neat puzzler. But be aware: If you play with a friend or partner, get ready to communicate!

Visually and playfully attractive role-playing game in a varied world with an extensive lore. The many dialog options and interesting characters as well as the powerful combat system are among the highlights. However, not recommended for Xbox Series S.

Take a pinch of Rez, add a helping of Gitaroo-Man, serve with loads of electronic beats and fascinating visuals and you get a quite interesting rhythm game. With more content and better balancing this could easily play in the same league as Amplitude or Thumper.

Splatoon 2 is the equivalent to a beautiful, but moody girlfriend. Mostly you have a great time, but sometimes the inherited quirks are too much to bear. Having said that, the mechanics of this ink shooter still feel fresh, but some lack of content is still evident - as is the problem with time restrictions with certain modes (e.g. Salmon Run) and the finicky online app. (updated 07/21/17)

Frozenbyte manages to deliver a magical puzzle platformer that doesn’t build on innovation, but recreates the old the fascination missing from its predecessor.

This is as conservative as it can get. Pure hack & slay with a focus on the bigger, better loot. It helps though that it was made from fans for fans. And if you like your action RPG pure and focused on leveling and looting you will get loads of hours out of this.

Feeling truly powerless and helpless again? The latest Bloober Team game can help. In this space-age survival horror, people seem to die every second. You have to like it – but it's a lot of fun.

Great puzzle design and an entertainingly morbid setting make this a little gem.

While it lasted (unfortunately not too long) it kept me entertained, since the combination of jump&run and rhythm game works surprisingly well.

If you like old school JRPGS and don’t know the 16 year old original or if you want to jumpstart your memories, you can’t miss this time traveling adventure.

Roguelite RPG, that invites you not only with its coop-option, but also the charming pixel design and the well constructed story. But technical issues as well as the high grind factor provide a setback.

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

A tasty culinary package for party chefs with cross-platform co-op ambitions - especially if you like it hectic and challenging.

The fight against the robots is not as intense as Superhot VR – but the highscore hunt is catered remarkably well to suit VR needs and a technical masterpiece with accurate roomscale tracking. Content is limited, though.

This is a little puzzle gem for Oculus Rift that would be even better with the inclusion of Oculus Touch. [Tested with Oculus Rift]

Competent turn based strategy with relevant provisioning, some cool specials via the headquarter, challenging AI and a hint of card tactics.

Surprisingly competent sidescrolling brawler with impressive strike feedback and top-notch controls – if you liked Streets of Rage 4, this one is definitely for you.

If you’re looking for a reason to promote the Wii U gamepad, look no further. Building your custom platform levels has never been this easy – at least within strict restrictions that limit your creative freedom.

There are certain detail flaws in some areas, but Fury’s entry into the Darksiders universe is thoroughly entertaining as well as challenging.

While the concept shines, the execution sometimes is not as elaborated. Nonetheless I left this grey and pixelated world in good spirit.

Visually this is the best version, if you have the appropriate hardware. But neither the top-notch storytelling nor the best visuals can hide the fact that in terms of gameplay the series is stagnant.

A fascinating mix of roleplaying, rogue-like dungeon crawler and tower defense, that demands a high frustration threshold.

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 connection between game and player is not as deep as on Vita. But the “big” Tearaway is a beautiful detour into a paper world full of creative design ideas.

Like its PC brother the console version of City of the Damned delivers challenging turn-based strategy. And like its PC brother it lacks technical finesse and precision. But that rarely impacts the fun.

Not a graphics blender, but not a savior either: Black Myth: Wukong is a largely successful action role-playing game with fun fights, visual variety and, despite minor flaws in terms of gameplay variety, is captivating.

Quite fascinating mix of dungeon action and pinball-ish brawling.

An interesting combination of documentary and classic videogame experience.
