Stylistically Brut@l is a close to the classic Rogue as Rogue-like can be. But with all its nods to its heritage, this dungeon crawler lacks character.

Edge of Eternity is a quite entertaining fantasy rpg, albeit having an almost sterile presentation, while feeling unfinished here and there.

It is not an epic strategy game like Dune but this little gem offers something for almost everybody: Beginners will not be overburdened while experienced players will get a challenge with the unusual mechanics and veterans can ramp up the difficulty level to get their money's worth.

If you’re looking for another addition to your collection of twin-stick shooters, you might give this a try. But the art design aside this is average throughout. Fun, but average.

Atmospheric puzzle adventure with a fox as protagonist – but hampered by clumsy controls and unsophisticated storytelling.

It is in fact an interesting collection with a focus on NES and technically sound. Due to age the software quality is not everybody’s cup of tea, though.

Even with its limited adjustment for VR environments, Doom 3 still delivers straight-forward oldschool action, especially if you use the Aim Controller.

The 20th anniversary of the Atelier saga reduces the roleplaying, while injecting more strategy with annoying time pressure, a few new mechanics and a lot of well known characters.

Yes, even with all the visual improvements the original age is evident. But in an age, where every racing game wants to show off its realism, this arcade racer from a past rich with competition, where it was nothing but an insiders’ tip, is a welcome addition to your library, not least because of the four player splitscreen.

After years of modern and futuristic warfare the WWII-scenario feels fresh again. Although nothing is really new, Rebellion manages to conjure up interesting tactical sniping action.

If you are (like me) a fan of the Genesis original this is more than a trip down memory lane. This is a carefully modernized old school platform adventure with a lot of personality. But don’t expect anything out of the ordinary.

I like old school action. But this shooting gallery doesn’t deliver.

Even though it shows some serious weaknesses this game cost me more hours of my life than I’d like to admit.

While the essence of this twinstick shooter is still as interesting as it was on Xbox One in 2015 and PlayStation 4 in 2016, the technical execution leaves a lot to be desired.

This puzzle platformer is charming and relaxing, but a bit clunky at the same time.

Steel Rats tries to combine so many seemingly incompatible elements both aesthetically and mechanically, that it actually shouldn’t work. But surprisingly, it does, and aside from the overleaden controls you’ll start to enjoy most of the elements that Tate Interactive integrated.

Tongue-in-cheek simulation with little challenge, but a playful lesson in learning how to say “no”.

The discussions about the fetishes catered to aside, this is a solid, albeit grind heavy JRPG.

Iron Galaxy knows how to make the most of Kinect as simple gestures make technical shortcomings of the motion detection hardware almost disappear. However, good controls don't constitute a good game: The deconstruction of too many similar castles does not translate into the same kind of ridiculous fun you get from Pain, Flatout and others.

A production that hits the hearts of comic fans as unerringly as Arrow's arrow is overshadowed by an extremely flat combat system, inappropriate design decisions and outdated technology.

For doctors it actually might work as a distraction in the form of playful training exercises. But as a game it is not very entertaining.

Quotation forthcoming.

In terms of content and options you get everything (and more) that the other console versions had to offer. But it also pushes the hardware to the limit and beyond. Up the the point where there is no fun left when you look at the framerate drops that grow analogue to your city.

Call me old-fashioned, but I liked the China Chronicles. A lot. Starting with the art design and its mechanical nods to the Prince of Persia series that started it all while keeping everything “Assassin”, this is a nice distraction from the big siblings. But the storytelling is way below average.

There are quite a few positive aspects: the driving physics feel authentic, the real-time deformation of the surroundings is impressive too. But Spintires lacks depth, be it more varied missions or even the smallest economy system. This is more a tech demo than a game.

While the minigames on display are absolutely nothing out of the ordinary, they are just a part of a bigger picture. And that is a cynical satire on the American way of life that feels even more relevant with the unfortunate events as of late.

An interesting fantasy RPG with teambased realtime battles suffering from serious engine problems.

Solid (very old-)school survival horror with intelligent puzzle design and a strong focus on stealth and escape. With less trial and error it would have been even better.
