Even with overshadowing qualities of the original sequel and the compromises you have to make in terms of visuals and control this is still an entertaining ghost hunt.

Visually beautiful, but in terms of mechanics as old-fashioned and unchallenging as on consoles. At least it manages to deliver a decent story with interesting characters.

It's Peach Time! Creative and sweetly designed pastime with a lot of variety at the beginning, but which lacks motivating content as it progresses. The adventure would have benefited from more tricky puzzles and mini-games or additional game mechanics.

Quotation forthcoming.

An impeccable console port of the old-school RPG with a decent control scheme and additions to the already deep battle system.

Unlike Devil Survivor Soul Hackers isn’t plagued by technical faults or glitches. So if you’re a fan of classic Japanese dungeon crawlers and also like the slightly bizarre, this is definitely for you.

TRI shows a clever concept but is afraid to explore its depths and lacks a decent narrative.

While mechanically and visually A.o.T. 2 shows improvement in almost every aspect to its predecessor the retelling of the “old” story that takes place over two thirds of the campaign playtime is definitely a downer.

Even though the acrobatic slay-em-all gets dreary after a while, this is a solid action game set in the unforgiven Attack on Titan universe.

The concept is still working, but this is hardly more than an unpolished lump of gemstone.

It might have more options to adjust the visuals. But it still plays in the second league of open world games while the zombie outbreak lost its bite and Frank West lost his cynical touch, which was replaced by one-liners that would be too corny even for Evil Dead’s Ash Williams.

Solid battle-royale with comic visuals and stronger survival influences than the competition, but also a serious lack of variety.

Shadow Warrior offers thoroughly entertaining old-school-action, blood and gore.

Simple, yet quite entertaining flying in VR through a deserted Paris that appeals to soloists with loads of challenges as well as leaderboards, while the online hunts deliver with fast paced pursuits.

Gust opened the world, but it still lacks a more interesting story and better visuals.

Old wine in even older bottles: The developers make far too little of the possibilities of the medium. The only thing that's really creepy here are the numerous logic gaps.

The inclusion of tactical elements like the orders for the teammates give this otherwise very conservative musou action an interesting twist.

Solid but shallow adventure with loads of references to Grimms fairy tales.

The stubborn insistence on co-op elements impedes more than it helps. But otherwise Capcom is on a good way back to old survival horror virtues with Revelations 2. And that is something that I didn’t think possible after the Resident Evil 6 experience.

EA's try to reboot the Syndicate franchise didn't succeed. Although the shooter offers some interesting ideas they are overshadowed by a feeble story and lackluster mechanics.

I was hoping that Dying Light would be more than Dead Island in a big city. And while the parkour elements as well as the stealth are a welcome but in some cases underutilized addition to the proven zombie killing formula, a lot of the core gameplay is run-of-the-mill open world: Mindless fetch-missions with almost no coherent or suspenseful story.

Yes, this is one of the quirkiest tactic RPGs out there. And in terms of content it is outshined by its predecessors. But even after 12 years Disgaea packs a punch and keeps you busy for hours, days and weeks.

The way it approaches tactical battles, make John Wick Hex not only interesting, but quite unique. But it also starts to show the lack of diversity too soon.

Visually attractive remaster of the successful Sonic episode from the Wii era. Mechanically the platforming action is not as appealing as it was more than ten years ago.

While the first hour is as im- as depressive (at times), the limitations of the mechanics slowly take over. The moral implications of each decision you make (or have to make) are clearly there and always impactful - up to the very end. But since it is always black or white with no grey areas whatsoever, the concept is reduced to trial and error.

It takes a while to notice that behind all absurdity and craziness hides an interesting fight for survival.

A successful city-building simulation that builds on the strengths of its predecessor, but is dragged down by terrible performance.

Somewhere on the way the developers lost their grip on the game. What starts as an ambitious take on the works of David Lynch, slowly becomes boring button-push cinema.
