It is not as terrorizing and suspenseful as the predecessor but A Machine for Pigs still has its moments, while telling a grotesque horror-story.

Fun is what counts in the end. And just like its brother on Xbox One is a fun romp – regardless of the countless shortcomings that just prove that the line between polished trash and plain garbage can be very thin.

Puzzles might not be as engaging as they should be, yet the game does justice to the witty spirit of an Agatha Christie Whodunit.

It works well on consoles. Unfortunately it suffers from mediocre visuals, complicated UI and little content at this point – especially when you compare it to the PC version.

Inventive adventure thriller, that produces a lot of tense moments within the limited scenario. The solution doesn't meet expectations, though.

The ever-changing mechanics lead to interesting puzzle elements, but the fun hits the brakes when you are faced with an annoying motion control.

At its core Assault Horizon offers insane aerial combat action. But too often I get distracted by rail-gun sequences or helicopter missions that don't fit in well. On top of that the PC version suffers from technical problems not evident for console pilots.

Traveller’s Tales could have improved the visuals, while gamers used to recent Lego games will be shocked when they hear the mumbling and grunting that serves as communication. But that aside Harry’s adventures still show off their charm, their humor and especially some of the most beautifully crafted hub areas in the history of Lego adventures.

Arkham City still is one of the prime example of a streamlined open world where everything is tied it to the comic origins, while Arkham Asylum also captures the spirit of the visual novels in a sense that will keep you glued to the screen. Unfortunately both games on both systems suffer from technical shortcomings, mostly framerate issues.

The franchise hybrid works surprisingly well. With the integration of quite a few beloved Aperture elements (including GlaDOS, of course) the construction puzzles gain an edge. But nonetheless they could have been improved with additional challenges.

The game consists of six repeatable boss fights with atmospheric pictures and sounds, while a world and story around it is sorely missed. Nonetheless you get a good amount of entertainment for a fair price.

Blazing Chrome tries to take the identity of Contra 3 and stops just short of getting Konamis lawyers involved. Nonetheless you might consider getting the Contra Anniversary Collection instead, which gives you more bang for your buck.

In its mobile version Child of Light still is a charming adventure, combining elements of platforming, roleplaying and turn based tactics.

A nice and entertaining routine expansion for the world of the Sims. It lacks some depth, though.

The good news: Sanctum 2 is better than its predecessor in almost every aspect. But in the end there is quite some margin to other tower defense hybrids like Orcs must Die or Iron Brigade.

Charming and sensibly improved platformer that lacks challenge and diversity in the long run.

The enchanted scenery could have been bigger, the story longer than roughly five to seven hours, but nonetheless Ashes of Ariandel is a good expansion.

Solid VR puzzler with nice immersion, some control issues and a steep learning curve.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a feast for fans that delivers visually stunning fights, but is not without a few shortcomings.

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.

Switch Galaxy isn’t a beauty to look at, but the simple mechanics keep you motivated. Too bad that the experience is very short-lived.

Those who are unfamiliar with the first Bloodlines will have a distinct advantage with Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. A compelling storyline, an atmosphere as thick as blood, and brutal action make for an impressive package – although the role-playing aspect has been noticeably reduced.

Apart from its currently shaky state on PS5, Park Beyond is a whimsical and, most importantly, pretty park sim.

Atmospheric, pretty ego trip through a Tokyo full of spooky creatures - with an open game world according to scheme and expandable shooter mechanics.

Quotation forthcoming.

Motivating 3D platformer with appealing open world and cute art design – despite technical shortcomings this is a fun game.

This is an interesting pilot for a season of contract killings. You’ll get a lot of creative freedom when it comes to fulfilling your contracts while the online-missions keep you motivated until the next episode arrives.

LocoCycle is pure honest trash. And the best thing: Twisted Pixel is fully aware of it, takes its game very seriously and feeds it with humour. And the result is mindless fun.
