The botanical garden is a better fit for the citybuilding world of Anno 1800 than the sunken treasures. Still fresh production lines or new goods are dearly missed.

Mechanically you can feel the age of the originals here and then. But visually you can’t tell them apart from contemporary action-adventures - even though they are rough around the edges on Switch sometimes.

While the resource collection is quite motivating and delivers a tense experience, the shooter shows some flaws and the pay-to-win option is simply aggravating.

With Iceborne, Capcom not only opens a new everfrost hunting area, but improves the game overall.

WoW Classic is a great trip down memory lane into a more quiet but also more rugged Azeroth, including all classic problems and faults.

This is thoroughly entertaining, surprisingly well conceived fantasy tactics with a focus on depth. This is a breath of fresh air that doesn’t rely on the typical rock-paper-scissors mechanics.

At its core, this mixture of action-adventure, evolution and prehistoric survival is interesting, but held back massively by a bunch of cumbersome and badly explained mechanics as well as clumsy controls.

A great competitive shooter if you are willing to invest time and can accept the slow character progress.

The constant hunt for the bigger better loot shows its age here and then - but still packs quite a punch. Just don’t expect a local co-op mode.

Wreckfest on consoles remains a steady source of destructive racing fun.

With smart enhancements and general improvements Beyond is even better then Next, while the PSVR-enhancements literally give this game a new dimension.

Story and world lore could be more defined, but Remnant delivers an adrenaline-fueled intelligent adventure - kind of Dark Souls with brute shooter flair.

Mystical, but sometimes bland and generic action rpg from the makers of I am Setsuna delivering solid entertainment.

Inspired by games like Journey or Limbo, Lone Sails draws you in on Switch with charming music and an expressive art design. An emotional trip through an apocalypse void of humans.

Quite some un-intense idling, frustrating script bugs and some plainly disruptive elements will leave you disillusioned and horrified for all the wrong reasons.

Atlus could have taken the easy way out and simply release the old game with improved visuals - and that would have been a hit. But add to that new story elements, freshly produced cutscenes, revamped puzzles and a third women inserted into this beautifully weird love story, you’ll get an instant classic.

This might as well be Platinum’s most ambitious game yet. And while they definitely don’t hit every mark, the technical achievement and the mix of varied elements will help you over a few shortcomings.

For the start of this anthology Supermassive Games serves up a short, but intense horror-trip that will draw some comparisons to Until Dawn, but show offs interesting multiplayer options.

In theory Erica shows off a very interesting plot. The picturization, though, is unemotional and rigid.

On one hand Remedy shows off nicely executed action mixing ballistic and supernatural elements in destructible environments, while on the other presenting unusual design flaws. But everything is kept together by a good script that draws inspiration from David Lynch and the likes.
