Via licensed musou action (Hyrule Warriors, Dragon Quest Heroes), Omega Foprce finally managed to shake up their own franchises. Don’t expect a groundbreaking paradigm change and if you despise the mass battles you won’t find anything here. But fans will certainly embrace the little tweaks and best-of-attitude that not only shows in the roster but also in the mixture of gameplay elements.

Dejected criticism of capitalism that offers little in terms of narrative and makes gross blunders in pacing. In terms of gameplay, too, The Last Worker is unfortunately banal.

In terms of content you’ll get more Inazuma than ever before. But unfortunately it is also more of the same.

Welcome back... to Turrican. This collection is a wonderfully nostalgic flashback trip to a brilliant run-and-gun franchise, that still shows impressively, why it was so special back in the days.

Nintendo finds the right balance of arcade-fun, challenge, tradition and innovation. Technically it could achieve more, but especially the multiplayer fun makes up for the underwhelming presentation.

Solid JRPG with a motivating combat system, a strong soundtrack and an interesting, albeit bumpy, story. Dungeon and side mission designs, on the other hand, do not win a flower pot.

The first tactic game within the Musou-Universe since 2003 delivers decent fun. It is superficial at times and overall too easy, but with the character development and plenty of weapons console strategist get a fair amount of content.

It shows a lot of potential but at the latest when you get to the grinding stage (which is fairly early), you’ll find that the mechanics can’t back up all the potential there might be.

Colorful, minimalistic, creative. A very short, but entertaining skill test with very reduced retro visuals.

In its best moments Vampyr is an atmospheric action roleplaying game with great dialogue and motivating battles. But you also get your fair share of limited exploration as well as all-you-can-loot-mentality that is more constricting than helpful.

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

Solid but repetitive turn based tactics.

Short co-op puzzler with interesting controls. There’s not much fun to be found, though.

A no-frills, but technically sound reissue of a solid game, that still doesn’t live up to its potential.

Rainbow Moon bedazzles with its classic turn based tactics in front of scenic backdrops. Story and characters could be better, but exploring the huge world, fighting countless battles and nurturing your heroes will keep you busy for weeks and months.

Next to the beautiful art and sound design, Fe has some great moments - and one truly monumental. But unfortunately that moments is wasted to early in the game, followed my mechanical routine bar any surprises. It is entertaining throughout, but in the end it could have been much more. Nonetheless a good entry point for EA’s Originals indie label.

There is a lot of action and quite a bit of entertainment to be found in this twinstick shooter. Unfortunately it is quite short-lived as well and lacks content.

Was it the right decision to bring wrestling back to the PC? With the abundance of sports games on this platform you would definitely think so. But as a straight port from the HD console versions it shares the same problems when it comes to presentation or controls. But as with the console siblings there is hope that new edition (which will hopefully come to PC as well) will step up to the plate and improve. The foundation is solid.

New hardware, same old game. But that is not necessarily bad. Story and characters could be more elaborate, but classic turn based tactics drawn in appealing visuals is still as good as it always was.

Solid WWII strategy with pathfinding problems, lack of multiplayer content and brash presentation.

Good clean turn based RPG fun with a celebrity cast that transcends franchises and genres.

Even though the underlying emotion system leads to very entertaining results, EAs sitcom saga falls short of the expectations. Senseless omissions and Maxis’ no-risk-policy make this a game that will grow better with every expansion pack. But in this state it is not as good as its predecessor.

This is a solid shooter reliving in the tradition of Descent or Forsaken that lacks variety in the long run.

A rather typical arcade snack: In short bursts quite entertaining, but the longer you play the fascination fades away, even though the varying rule sets enhance the Snake- or Chu Chu Rocket-like mechanics.

If you enjoyed traveling around the universe with the Unreliable and its crew, you will find decent, yet short-lived additional entertainment with this detective story.

Even though the capabilities of the new system are underutilized, this is still a well executed physics puzzler that relies too often on trial & error.

There is no additional content, no added touch-controls but the magic of this charming role-playing game is still there.

For a short while Marooners presents neat party fun. But compared to games like Mario Party it lacks substance and content.
