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.

As an experimental VR experience Transference is interesting, but stays mechanically bland most of the time. Without VR it loses a lot of its fascination.

Even though Marvelous relies heavy on recycling once again, The Tale of Two Towns entertained me more than its' predecessors.

The exotic atmosphere makes this a very special action adventure that suffers from technical and mechanical faults.

Despite some major flaws this is CI Games’ best franchise entry. The exploration as well as the sniper action delivers the goods,

The new content and revamped elements are integrated seamlessly, but bugs, AI issues and well-known, yet still evident problems make this Definitive Edition definitely feel unfinished.

In the beginning this almost feels like a side-scrolling No One Lives Forever. But the longer you play, the more you realize that it lacks depth and finishing touches.

With added partygames Taiko no Tatsujin on Switch is significantly better than its PS4-sibling. Nonetheless the poor JoyCon controls stick out.

The decent presentation of this fairy tale is overshadowed my shallow mechanics.

Somerville is very pretty, the gameplay is decent, but the content is unfortunately not gripping enough for an adventure.

Repetitive, screamingly colorful and as shallow as a baby pool. Godfall is seems polished, but is as dull as anything. Nonetheless it can drag you in with its simple concept and powerful fight system.

On Switch, the downhill biking is reduced in every aspect: visually, mechanically and in terms of content.

It looks good and delivers short-term fun – but controls and dynamics need improvement.

Tense boss battles and interesting ideas collide with unnecessary grind.

Does Dynasty Warriors Next deliver a new gaming experience? Not at all. But with all the added Vita-elements the arcade character of the infamous mass brawler reaches new heights, which might just be what this franchise needs.

This is not as fascinating as the last bullet hell shmups like Sine Mora or Akai Katana, but nonetheless with the HD remake of one of the final games of the late Dreamcast you’ll get an intense, but rather short arcade shooter.

I can’t think of another franchise, whose hero is so well suited to be the star of a musou game than Guts of the Berserk manga. Having said that mechanically this is a step back, while in terms of storytelling, no musou game has ever been this atmospheric and tense – mainly thanks to the extensive inclusion of original anime scenes.

It starts strong and looks stunning throughout, but the missions soon become redundant, while on this stormy seas you’re not only at the mercy of the elements, but the fun you’ll have depends largely on the behaviour of other players. It can be a tremendous pirate adventure with gripping PvP, but can deteriorate to a frustfest, if the other players on the server just want to create chaos.

I like the theme. I like the narrative and I think it is an interesting approach to combine storytelling and management. It is in desperate need of variety, though.

The fights are intense and remind me of a slow Vanquish while the tight platforming delivers some of the most memorable moments of its kind in this generation. But overall the pacing is completely off, while the grand finale gets interrupted by drawn out core searches. The potential is there, but the execution lacks finesse and direction.

Colorful, loud and full of aggressive mutants: Daiichi Dash is a playable fever dream dressed as a classic action platformer.

The finale of the trilogy doesn’t get more challenging or better than the other episodes, but at least take all the loose ends and brings the story to a convincing end.

While the beginning is almost everything you could wish for from a classic horror experience, Wilson’s Heart soon loses itself in uninteresting “explore, pick up, use, repeat”. It still shows how effective subtle horror can be in VR even though it never gets to prove it fully.

Loop Hero delivers an entertaining flow, has a certain esprit and the card placement is a neat idea. But the visuals are bland, there is too little tactical impact and the constant repetition gets tiring.

Rebellion chose the right path: Opening the world and adding much more stealth to the mix was the right decision. Unfortunately the AI still thinks it is in a linear shooter and acts accordingly.

The concept-mixture of action, tower defense and tounge-in-cheek-humour still draws you in. But it lacks depth and convincing improvements.

With better scenarios the crash fun shifts into next gear. But some of the problems of its predecessor are still evident on the colorful streets of Danger Zone 2.

Interesting the jump marathon becomes tedious due to heavy repetition of level design and base mechanics.
