A gorgeous looking cyberpunk world and intense shoot-outs: The Ascent is visually impressive and delivers bucketloads of shooting fun. But it is a complete failure in terms of storytelling and has a few (co-op) flaws.

A beautiful game full of grace and spirit – a worthy successor to Journey. But micro-transactions, technical issues and parts of the game structure thwart the experience.

Is Skyward Sword a good game? A game worth playing? Definitely. It looks better then ever and plays much smoother with a pad than with the original controls. But it also (and still) is the weakest 3D-Zelda out there.

A charming monster hunt with turn-based battles for up to four players and Pokémon-like beast nurturing. But on Switch you will encounter framerate issues occasionally.

A decent action rpg with anime visuals and twisted story. But the starmain focus of the game are without a doubt the cool fights with their plentiful abilities.

Minute of Islands delivers a beautifully told and deep story as well as great hand-drawn, comic-style visuals.

Slick 2d-action in the likes of Metal Slug. Plenty of explosions with cool boss fights and loads of entertaining upgrades.

Even with the caveat that it only works for a few rounds at a time due to the uniform flow and the lack of variety, this is the best Battlefield that never was.

The diorama puzzles are easy on the eyes and show off creative ideas, but with a playtime of close to 2 hours this journey is extremely short lived.

Strive is a mechanically sophisticated 2D fighting game with sensational presentation and beautiful visuals - and one very costly problem with time-consuming server communication.

Affectionate remake of a classic jump & run. It has a few problems though and despite a “classic” mode the original is nowhere to be seen.

The change from 2D to 3D leads to frustration sometimes, but the sheer amount of content and the connected gaming systems make every fan of turn based strategy dance cheer with joy.

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.

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.

In theory, D&D: Dark Alliance is a decent action rpg with hack&slay appeal. But server problems and bugs are annoying while the chracter development is rather puristic.

Enhanced and in terms of fighting systems as well as visuals slighlty improved version of the remake of one of JRPGs brightest stars.

The Wild at Heart is a nice adventure fairy tale in an imaginative world, but suffers from AI problems as well as some bugs.

This is the best entry in the franchise yet: The level design is great and you have loads of options to get the job done. But the save system is very inflexible and the dumb enemies drag the experience down.

The tactical battles against the monsters are top-notch, but are in desperate need of variety. [Early Access Score = "B"]

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

Funny Zelda clone with outlandish characters and crafty items. But it lacks depth as well as challenge – and is over quite quickly.

Insomniac Games delivered a plethora of good or very good entertainment over the years, but this Ratchet & Clank is an animated masterpiece - some kind of Super Lombax Galaxy at the highest level.

The off-road simulation draws you in with its quite unique charme, but the visuals on Switch are suffering a bit.

Operation: Tango is an entertaining asymmetric coop game for two, in which communication is not only vital but the strongest weapon available.

Hired Gun is far from being a good game. But with its massive Warhammer vibe you find yourself having fun here and there.

Mechanically Virtua Fighter 5 still is an outstanding Vs-fighting-game that looks better than ever. But it lacks singleplayer content as well as a modern netcode.

Interesting mix of virtual online rpg and occult visual novel with some technical issues on Switch.

Storm Ground delivers solid hexfeld strategy, but cannot bring the enormous potential of Age of Sigmar onto the screen.
