With the forced ommisions in the Western markets, this game is in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. But if you think that the art of long lost boob bouncing, a merely solid battle system and superficial “my boobs are smaller than yours” dialogue is game of the year material, than this might be something for you.

Armored Core V is a very dull vision of a future filled with powerful mechs – even though the tactical options and the extensive construction of those metal beasts are quite impressive.

Take the Lemmings out, put sheep in and you have a solid puzzler that doesn’t risk anything but is challenging enough to keep you going.

I definitely want more tactical adventures enriched with epic storytelling like Banner Saga. But definitely not like this brash copy, that shows almost no individuality.

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

The levels are small but challenging, the hunt for carrots surprisingly motivating. But what looked charming in the beginning, soon became redundant.

The tactical implications of saving people while keeping an eye on the fuel gauge are interesting. But you'll lose interest sooner rather than later, thanks to the frustrating design.

It might not be the longest game of all time, but the exploration of this very unique take on exploration adventures is worth the admission fee.

Quotation forthcoming.

After the slow descent of indie horror games Stairs is a ray of hope. The atmosphere is tense. Exploration, puzzles, suspense and dramatic getaways are well balanced. But the story lacks depth and I actually could do without the bugs.

As much fun the sporting events deliver, Wii U Olympians have to swallow the bitter pill that they not only had to wait longer than the mobile sports fans. They also get the less attractive package.

You can feel that it was destined to become something great. And you sense that this actually might become a really good game. Right now, though, it is not much more than a game with potential and a lot of work to do to get there.

The spirit of the classic Burnout series is omnipresent. But before the fun kicks into high gear, the highspeed racer is taken down by AI problems or lackluster presentation.

Fans will notice the mostly subtle changes that make this one of the best games in the series. But if you never were into Koei's “Warriors”, this iteration will not make you change your mind.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 satisfies multiplayer and zombie fans, but the co-op campaign is a complete disappointment.

I love turn-based tacts, I love classics and I like Fantasy. But while other games of that era aged well, HoMM feels outdated. If you really want to play it, get the original with mods.

The design is as old school as the difficulty level. As a homage to Castlevania it serves its purpose but compared to games like Fly’n or Guacamelee it falls short.

Old school city builder with a beautiful art design but clumsy UI.

The first expansion focuses on the wrong elements and doesn’t deliver enough content.

A fantasy casino arena with a high coincidence factor and more gold management than regular tactical challenges. At least there are no micro-transactions.

Enjoyable platformer that would benefit from more variety.

Blacksad is a thrilling adventure with interesting and multi-faceted characters, a great visual style and an atmospheric soundtrack.

With over 80 minigames you get a lot of content. Unfortunately most of the games are short and simple.

The difficulty level goes way beyond what you usually describe as "challenging, but fair" – this is do-or-die-retro-feeling. This illegitimate spawn of Ghosts'n Goblins and the humour of Monty Python doesn't disappoint when it comes to the audiovisual design. Unfortunately the mechanics are not near as creative.

On consoles this is almost unbearable. But also on PC it falls short, even though the open world looks beautiful in most places. You have lots to do, the fighting system is solid, albeit hampered by a bad camera. But in the end it is rather a superficial experience on almost every level.

The concept is timeless, but more variety and a little progress would have gone a long way.

The minimalistic future racer can’t keep up with WipEout or Fast Recaing Neo in terms of content and finetuning. Nonetheless it delivers an intense racing experience in VR.

Ambitious try to make console players feel like a train driver that lacks variety as well as decent visuals.
