The arcade classic was slightly improved here and there but in the end it doesn’t deliver the same experience as its PS3 or Vita siblings.

The surreal fantasy world shows a lot of potential, but battles as well as puzzles are too simplistic and monotonous.

Moving house actually can be fun. As long as you don’t play solo, this delivers some decent party entertainment. It is not as sophisticated as Overcooked 2, but also much less prone to stress and frustration.

An interesting story based on the aftermath of the Moby Dick novel hampered by monotonous mechanics.

The mechanical core of the third Saints excursion is still intact, while the visuals are more polished and the framerate on consoles is finally stable. Nonetheless Saints Row: The Third lost some of its mojo in 2020 compared to the impact in 2011.

The simple ideas sometimes are the best ones. The team headed by Colin and Sarah Northway presents a simple but astonishingly clever puzzle mix.

The story of this anime-style rogue-like is quirky and the characters and locations are positively freaky – but the visuals are completely outdated.

Hectic, albeit fun retro action that tips its hat to the classic Robotron 2084 with the unmistakable art design of Puppygames.

It feels too much like Portal at first, but eventually it introduces more of its own ideas and puzzles to make this a well rounded experience.

Unlike with FIFA 18 you’ll get an almost complete package with NBA 2K18. Visually of course scaled down and with the “Neighborhood” as well as the story career confined to an online environment, Visual Concepts did their best to port the best basketball game on Nintendo’s hybrid system.

Definitely the weakest part of the most recent Atelier trilogy. Almost everything feels outdated. Having said that, the tactical turn-based battles are still fun, though.

Visually appealing and placid strategy with an interesting scenario, but not enough depth.

Overall the Switch port of Bulletstorm is technically sound, but sometimes shows its ugly face with bland textures. At its core it is still one of the most entertaining and unusual shooters around, but lacks not only multiplayer-capability but a certain swag to go with it.

Quite old-fashioned, yet still entertaining roleplaying game.

Yes, it is bigger than the original Toukiden. And it doesn’t look to shabby on the PS4. But one major problem remains: The core is nothing but an uninspired Monster Hunter clone.

This is a charming puzzler with a unique setting and varied tasks. But is also rather short and a little too easy.

The puzzle platformer is well suited for the touchscreen. The controls are almost as intuitive as with the Wiimote and the use of air currents is still entertaining.

God Wars feels like a relic from an era where tactic roleplaying reached its zenith with games like Tactics Ogre, Shining Force or Final Fantasy Tactics. And as such it is brimming with content.

The PS4-premiere of the anime pirates plays like classic Tecmo Koei warriors – with all its glory and all the hate you might associate with it.

It looks good and delivers short-term fun – but controls and dynamics need improvement.

As an occasional loot run snack it serves its purpose. Just don’t expect anything fancy.

Equally unique and fascinating military fantasy with varied content. But you have to have the patience to get to grips with all that HighFleet has to offer.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

The new Naruto is more Clash of Ninja and less Ultimate Ninja. It is rather an entertaining martial arts snack than a main course.

Yes, it is short. But Geometry Wars 3 aside I haven’t had that much fun with a twinstick shooter in a while. Be wary of the spiking difficulty in the middle parts though where it moves from challenging to frustrating for a little while.

Although I am not the biggest fan of “electro” music, Amplitude delivers. It proves that good game design withstands the test of time. And Amplitude shows why Harmonix is the biggest name in rhythm games today.

I like the open character development where I don't have to wear a class straitjacket as well as the quiet discovery of mysterious dangers. But more often that it wants to, The Secret World is "just" an ordinary MMO.
