It has some flaws like a weak story and a brash art design. But it also has some innovative ideas and stages the strategic battles of minatures in glorious dioramas.

Dead Rising 4 was and (with all the added modes) still is just a shadow of the franchises former self. Having said that, especially the new Capcom Heroes mode embraces and emphasizes the new arcade direction and is actually quite entertaining.

It's difficult not to draw parallels to Portal. You are a test subject in a unique environment interacting with your surroundings in a creative way. But here you are alone: There is no humor, no cynicsm, no cake lie, only partially frustrating puzzles thanks to the imprecise controls – nothing else.

There is no doubt: This Total War has its moments where it shines in size, content and strategic power. But in the end you won’t remember all the things it succeeds at, but the plethora of annoying little things, where the Roman conquest falls short.

Quotation forthcoming.

It may look like a casual game but the mechanics including tactical party management as well as unlockable and combinable abilities keep you motivated. At least until routine sets in. Solid entertainment for aficionados of turn-based board games.

A great artdesign and a good direction make this a very special horror experience. But you have to get over some mechanical flaws.

Technically sound port of two great ninja action games, who visibly aged, but mechanically are still appealing. But don’t expect any bonus content – and the third game in the collection never was really good.

The tactical as well as explosive action delivers and gives me loads of options. I am changing the skirmish with my behavior, I can play it to suit my play style, from straightforward attacks to sneaky head shots. But I also find myself in the middle of a mountain range theme park with animals more fierce than any herpetologist could imagine while the map throws places at me that I rather want to discover myself.

Maybe it is time for Yuke’s to give the pro-wrestlers a break, take a good look at their game, question everything and leave no stone unturned. While the fight mechanics reflect the tension and pace of the “real” battles of the WWE superstars and the roster is more stacked than ever, there is nothing surprising in this year's grappling attack on your wallet.

The PS4-premiere of the anime pirates plays like classic Tecmo Koei warriors – with all its glory and all the hate you might associate with it.

It's as good (or bad) as it always was. The motion recognition is not just faulty but can also be cheated. Nonetheless the song selection is good and with a few friends there is a lot of fun to be found. The Wii U gamepad is totally underutilized though.

The idea with its mixture of platforming and physics based puzzles is good - and so is the minimalistic anime design. The mechanical execution with its surprsingly inert controls and the oversensitive physics calculations not so much.

Quotation forthcoming.

Beats the demo by far: Extremely fast-paced shooter that expertly combines shooting action and melee combat - a fast-food snack that should also appeal to FPS connoisseurs.

There is more of everything and it works as good (or bad) as always. But you won’t find an important ingredient: Fresh ideas.

The co-operative alien hunt is a decent Left 4 Dead clone that lacks variety, a decent balance and content in general.

Visually captivating narrative adventure with interesting ideas which become routine too soon.

While solid as a brawler in the tradition of Guardian Heroes with added roleplaying elements Code of Princess shines when it comes to the absurd, funny and sometimes plain silly characters and story.

Quotation forthcoming.

Visually appealing and placid strategy with an interesting scenario, but not enough depth.

Shark vs. human in a tense atmospheric setting. Unfortunately it lacks variety.

Challenging battles and dungeons filled with intelligent puzzles are overshadowed by lack of direction in almost every aspect: artdesign, storytelling, quality assurance.

Action snack for the occasional funtime. Mechanically motivating re-imagination of an arcade classic, that unfortunately ends too soon and looks quite cheap.

Nicely revamped and expanded collection of atmospheric horror madness that still lacks gameplay substance.

This is like a digital séance. It is quite monotonous, but you’ll encounter some eerie and disturbing moments.

Solid WWII strategy that tries desperately, but never manages to emerge from the shadow of Company of Heroes.

Overall you'll get a solid and entertaining beat-em-up experience, but if you plan to challenge your friends online, look somewhere else.
