Kingdom Hearts’ rhythm-game spin-off brings you a huge soundtrack library of beautifully arranged music embedded in merely average mechanics.

A visually crisp shooter package with an interesting campaign, enthralling maps and intensive Zombie skirmishes. In each of these three areas a little more content overall would have worked wonders. A solid cohort, but definitely inferior to Infinity Wards Modern Warfare from last year.

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.

This is one of my multiplayer favorites when it comes to VR shooters. The free climbing and gliding empowers a tense and technically clean battle for survival in VR. But it shows flaws in terms of content and variety.

Technically Let’s Sing is an entertaining karaoke game with interesting modes, but also well-known strengths and weaknesses from yesteryears’ iterations. And the song choice is rather disappointing.

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

Like its predecessor Age of Calamity delivers an entertaining mass brawl in the Zelda universe, albeit one that is held back by some of the same problems that all of Koei’s Warriors face, mostly monotony setting in eventually.

4K and ray-tracing seem to push the Series X to the limit, but in perfomance mode System Redux definitely looks better than the original – and runs smoother. Nonetheless the core stays the same: a weird cyberpunk thriller with repititive mind-games.

Yakuza’s comeback shows off a great fighting system, while the tasks that you’re following are tedious and boring.

Despite additions like crossplay and a 60fps performance mode this is merely a halfhearted remaster of a once very good arcade racer. Having said that, the still terrific autolog system keeps you motivated, while the pursuits are still highly enjoyable.

In performance mode this cloud-version of Control works surprisingly well, but displays some compression errors. Quality mode on the other hand is utterly useless.

Harmonix brings you a cool and surprisingly complex DJ simulation with more creative freedom than you can handle as well as neat online functions.

You like jump&runs and find the world of Little Big Planet adoring? Then there is no way, you should pass this game by. On PS5 the visuals are crisp, while audiohaptic feedback enhances this charming platformer.

With Connected the Resonair team delivers the puzzle piece that was missing in the original: an entertaining and fun multiplayer mode.

This remake is more or less a disaster. Behind the crisp comic visuals mechanically almost nothing is left of what made this game a diamond in the rough back in the days.

This milestone of action roleplaying games didn’t lose any of its fascination, while receving a new audiovisual presence with this excellent epic. An awesome modernized epic.

Gears Tactics offers aggressive and fast-paced turn-based tactics. It works well on console and is enriched with another companion as well as more enemy types.

In some aspects The Falconeer is a fascinating exporation adventure. But you also encounter repetitive action and balancing problems. Nonetheless you can experience intense dogfights in a neatly presented water world.

Imagine the gamedesign cores of ICO, Shadow of the Colossus and Journey merging into a brand new adventure... The Pathless takes you into a scenic open world full of ruins, mythical secrets and fantastic colossuses.

This is Grid’s dirty brother. And it shows similar flaws in terms of depth as well as on the technical side. Nonetheless this can deliver short-term arcade off-road fun.

A strong Assassin’s Creed episode, a motivating open-world-game.: Eivors adventure is not faultless, but delivers an always entertaining mixture of exploration, story, battles and estate development – while looking gorgeous throughout.

This park builder is too big for Switch. It is not completely unplayable, but fun is scarce.

The action rpg obviously took its inspiration from the Zelda-series, while scoring with its own game world as well as the puzzle design.

This icy region with its numerous legandary Pokémon, a neat story and the Dynamax adventure gives you a lot of fresh content to explore.

Despite showing off all the ingredients of a good Cyberpunk thriller in terms of content, storytelling and mechanics it is as satisfying as a blue screen.

Astro’s Playroom is a creative surprise. For the PS5 launch Asobi Team serves up a jump-and-run highlight – preinstalled!

Cool superhero action in an open world with the star being the aerial acrobatics, just like in the predecessor. While the shortened load times are noteworthy, it is the auidohaptical controller feedback that keeps the experience fresh.

This is a breathtaking, extremely playable arcade-extravaganza with varied challenges and ways to play.
