The experiment “Shooter-MMO-crossover” has not completely failed. Especially the competitive firefights are quite entertaining. But then again, as a full-fledged shooter it doesn’t have any significant impact while as an MMO it doesn’t have enough content. Welcome to Destigrind.

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

Taken the complexity out of its notorious fighting mechanics was a good choice - especially since playability wasn’t sacrificed over it. Having half of the roster staying hidden behind DLC definitely isn’t that smart.

This is by far the most ambitious and thought through musou game that Omega Force has produced yet. While staying true to the basic formula the action-roleplaying elements as well as the true-to-the-source art design make this an engrossing experience.

If you are indeed a Kerbalist, you will definitely spend more hours with you favorite space travelling critters. The mission editor is powerful, while the included missions are challenging. Nonetheless this expansion is a bit superficial and still omits interstellar exploration or colony management.

This is only a small puzzle adventure from Norway, but if you’re looking for a decent co-op-experience this might be it.

The exploration of this detailed and living space station is impressive. But it lacks depth in terms of storytelling as well as core mechanics.

A visually crisp shooter package with an interesting campaign, enthralling maps and intensive Zombie skirmishes. In each of these three areas a little more content overall would have worked wonders. A solid cohort, but definitely inferior to Infinity Wards Modern Warfare from last year.

The concept is imaginative and puts you in control of a rather cool monster. But leveldesign and monotonous gameplay are disappointing in the long run.

It feels occasionally outdated, but overall this is a surprisingly entertaining 3D remake of the SNES rpg classic Seiken Densetsu 3.

After it became a sleeper hit in Nintendo's eShop for the 3DS, this entertaining platformer found a new home on the PC.

If you stumbled over Dancing all Night because you like rhythm games, you might be in shock since it is very much story-driven. While the mechanics are solid you will be probably better off with Hatsune Miku’s last outing.

A good Assassin's Creed for those who prefer stealth, parkour and a small but still formulaic open world.

German developers Yager put the horror of war on the screen – brutal, ruthless and depressing at times. In its' quiet moments it generates a fantastic atmosphere set in the Dubai desert. But this is still a shooter and regarding action and especially AI it falls short.

Outside its beautiful presentation it doesn’t offer anything new to the brickworlds we got used to over the course of the last twelve years. Having said that, the charme of Lego games in recent years is undeniable and shines through in every of the Lego Dimension inspired areas.

A pleasant surprise: Journey of the Broken Circle turns out to be a small, but nice playable essay on human relations.

Same procedure as every year... a few optimizations here and there, but unfortunately also noticeable improvements that make things worse. If you don't need UT, you can stick with EA FC 24.

Stylish visuals and challenging fights: On the highest difficulty setting this is very close to Dark Souls in 2D.

Inspired by classics like Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star, or Suikoden, and filled with dynamic turnbased battles, this is a gem for any aficionado of 16-bit-roleplaying.

An atmospheric journey into Scandinavian fairy tales with loads of interesting puzzles. If only the story about the siblings Lars and Tove would have been giving more space to flourish...

Quiplash still steals the show, but together with Blather Round it is not enough to save this rather weak selection of party games.

The small challenges are entertaining, the confused concept is not. The hidden shortcuts that need to be discovered and the lack of clues make it hard for me to appreciate this charming puzzler.

Quotation forthcoming.

While the concept with its modern twist on the classic shmup works on the iPad as well as on any other system, technically the conversion is not as convincing.

Even with a decent amount of recycling there is enough content, neat track design and mostly a decent driving experience. But with the apalling technical problems the motivation keeps grinding to a halt over and over.

An interesting story and intelligent puzzles help to transform this adventure into a good thriller. This is an enchanting retro trip with clever ideas.

Like in its first outing roughly six years ago, de Blob 2 is a charming and creative jump & run. But while the audiovisual design aged very well the low challenge level is more evident than ever. Which makes it perfect for a family game, on the other hand. And that is something you can’t have enough on consoles that don’t come from Nintendo.

It is mind-blowing how time flies with this game. At first it seems like Eufloria just offers relaxed zengaming, but the more you look the more entertaining strategy for explorers and conquerors you'll discover.
