The fourth (!) racing game from Milestone this year is undoubtedly their best. But that still isn’t enough to make it an enjoyable experience throughout.

A charming first act that gives you an outlook into interesting storylines. But since puzzles are too easy and it is rather short all the hopes lie on the conclusion.

This is a solid rendition of the well known formula, catered to the needs of the handheld generation, but without an online mode the fun is limited.

Unraveling the mysteries of the game mechanics set in this mystical environment is the main motivation. At least until you are lulled into the tranquil setting and start realizing that you are following a monotonous future unfolding here and then...

The basic concept is interesting enough to spark your curiosity, but in the end it stays too repetitive.

The extraterrestrial arachnid follows the tradition of easy to pick up, but difficult to master games like Angry Birds or The Splatters. With more accurate controls it would even be able to give them a serious run for their money.

Initially I was skeptical as to how Phosphor would adapt the 360 degree room scaling of Vive for the limited capabilities of PlayStation VR. And even though their 180 degree turn solution can lead to the occasional disorientation, it is a good idea, so you can experience this intense horror shooter in almost all its glory.

Blitz proves that rhythm games can work without additional hardware, but even though it reminds sometimes of Harmonix' early masterpieces Frequency and Amplitude it lacks substance as a stand-alone-game. But throw the cross-compatibility with the instrument based brethren in the mix and you get more than 20 new songs to play for a fair price.

While the show couldn’t convince fans nor critics, leading to NBC cancelling after just one season, Gemini is a surprising game. Technically mere average (underutilizing the Unreal Engine 4) the mixture of Mirror’s Edge and Psi-Ops doesn’t live up to all its potential, but still delivers a solid action experience.

I expected more from Symphony. Compared with colorful spectacles like Child of Eden or Gridrunner Revolution this music shooter seems blend. It's nice to see the action develop to your personal soundtrack though…

Whenever the authors finally get the chance to tell their story it evolves further than "Gears of Blade Runner". Nonetheless Binary Domain gets stuck in the middle between the eastern excellence of bossfights and the western school of modern shooter action. Unfortunately the PC version suffers from sluggish and not fully customizable controls.

The sequel to the rather disappointing Toukiden at its core is a motivating demon hunt with an entertaining story and an open world, that shows a few visuals deficits.

Original crime epic that gambles away its potential as an interactive detective adventure with unnecessarily flat and extended puzzle marathons.

This enhanced and in terms of story completed re-release of the 2014 action RPG Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms still has some interesting ideas, but also still doesn’t manage to give Diablo 3 or Victor Vran a run for their money.

Kao's return offers neither the variety nor the fine-tuning of the big competition, but is largely convincing as a nostalgic 3D platformer.

It gives you everything you need to feel like a Monster Hunter if you don’t own a Nintendo System. Unfortunately the mobile origins of the series shine through at all ends, while I have to think long and hard to remember a game that would have benefited from a better tutorial more so than Rage Burst.

Solid strategy excursion with successful humor and development part, but suffers from confusion and a lack of balancing.

On the court, this is the pinnacle of virtual basketball. But the microtransactions are still overpowering, while the plentiful content has just been modified slightly compared to last year.

The off-road simulation draws you in with its quite unique charme, but the visuals on Switch are suffering a bit.

As a puzzle platformer it falls short the quality of Giana Sisters or Braid. But nonetheless it is an entertaining, albeit sometimes frustrating experience.

Typical sports game update that only slightly reworks the previous year's title - despite the dreary technology, the simulation is recommended for cycling fans. Anyone who is enthusiastic about the real tour will also have fun with it on the pad.

Tera delivers good, clean action roleplaying fun with an interesting battle system. Technically though it suffers from framerate issues, fade-ins and a whole lot of other issues.

Colourful and entertaining minigames with retro feeling.

The stylish art design and the story are convincing while the gaming experience falls short.

The extraterrestrial city builder has a lot to offer, but suffers from design flaws, feels downright unfinished here or there and would have benefited from more depth.

It's loud, it's explosive, enemies swarm you from every corner. But the mission design is rather uninspired. Prototype 2 is solid, but not exceptional fun in an open world.

While visually this is one of the best looking games out there for Sonys VR platform, mechanically this is a rather bland and uninspired shooting gallery for most of the time. Just using the well known assets is no guarantee for a dynamic shooting experience.

You won't find any innovation here – somewhere between Bust-A-Move and Zuma this is just another "Match-3"-variation. But the idea of throwing people around is so ridiculously wacky that you have to play it to believe it.
