While campaign and interface are not on par with genre standards, the skirmishes against AI controlled opponents and human generals surprise with explosive battles and unit variety.

The presentation is deterrent, but the core mechanics offer some fun, especially for a game-party.

Xeodrifter is pure minimalism: A steady running pace and a unchangable jump height is enough to take you on a charming, albeit short journey.

While in the beginning the battles are as dramatic as they are dynamic, in the end you’ll rather remember the clunky UI and the basic story.

The clearer focus on the campaign as well as the cool mythical troops and the setting are on spot, but total standstill in terms of battlefield mechanics and minor flaws make sure that Troy doesn’t reach its potential.

Whenever the authors finally get the chance to tell their story it evolves further than "Gears of Blade Runner". Nonetheless Binary Domain gets stuck somewhere in the middle between the eastern excellence of bossfights and the western school of modern shooter action.

In performance mode this cloud-version of Control works surprisingly well, but displays some compression errors. Quality mode on the other hand is utterly useless.

The beloved qualities of Borderlands 2 are still there, but the fun suffers from an unoptimized VR experience.

While the action is visceral and filled with brutal finishers, the battle system is facetted, yet not too complex. Too bad that the mechanics were wasted on mostly boring level design.

Solid and beginner-friendly survival-action with a decent crafting system and a big, yet diverse world as a playground. But be prepared for plenty of grind.

This is the best entry in the franchise yet: The level design is great and you have loads of options to get the job done. But the save system is very inflexible and the dumb enemies drag the experience down.

Right now this is the best musou action not coming from Tecmo Koei.

There Came an Echo with its surprisingly effective speech recognition is pure immersion. But it definitely could be more challenging, offering more tactical depth and more content in general.

Shallow, yet entertaining co-op carnage that lacks variety in the long run and only lives up to its potential with a full team.

The charming puzzle concept still is there, but without the touch surfaces of the Vita it loses some of its appeal.

I rather would have loved to experience a mellow action-adventure than this sequel that wants to surpass its predecessor in all areas – but fails to do so. Although there are a lot of interesting features and ideas, all of them just add small mistakes that add to the frustration.

The audiovisual design is as unique as it is special, but the mechanics are unnerving, frustrating and suffer from repitition.

Its biggest downfall is lack of useful content. With just five maps and three modes it's not enough to keep you playing for a longer period – even though the frantic action is quite entertaining. With better matchmaking and less focus on DLC the impostors would have a bigger survival chance.

A small game with a simple concept. Well executed though and with sufficient VR support you can get your daily speed fix. [Tested with Oculus Rift]

I can appreciate the effort, but in the end John Yesterday’s first adventure was better in every aspect. Having said that, the supernatural story with its bizzare dialogue and the clever designed puzzles still deliver a rock solid mystery thriller.

Solid races in selfmade gliders. The immersion in VR is hampered by the cumbersome pad controls in the menus. One of the few games that isn’t necessarily enhanced by VR integration.

Mechanically interesting Stealth-Action with loads of small weaknesses, but an interesting focus on teamplay and coordinate use of individual abilities. The better controls on PC give this version the edge.

This is pure skating, without façade climbing, without jackass, without useless cars or non-functioning skate hardware. At its core the mechanics are outdated, though.

With the focus shifting to the next-gen athletes, this is a tuned down version that doesn’t offer the content nor the fascination of last years’ wrestling extravaganza. The rock solid foundation is still there, though.

Yes, I miss a career, some races are too easy to win and in the end this hardly more than advanced arcade racing. But damn, this is fun while it lasts.

Nice farming game that lacks variety over time.

Pixel Star is the ideal shooter for your lunch brake giving you the essence of Geometry Wars or Super Stardust, but lacks in depth and diversity.

Kakarot is an entertaining option to relive and (of course) fight through the story of the anime - even with its superficial sidequests and the confusing presentation.
