A good remake of the best Yakuza episode in terms of storytelling.

Relaxing exploration- and trade-adventure that can’t manage to keep you glued to the screen.

Most of the time it feels fascinating to shape an ancient civilization. You have a plethora of options at your disposal but sometimes it can become frustrating with the amount of detail you are involved with. That the presentation is very static doesn’t help either.

The age of Capcom’s dragon tale is too visible. But overall you will still get a decent fantasy roleplaying experience.

While being nowhere near brilliance in any area, Days Gone still gives you an entertaining mix of exploration, horror, stealth and survival light in mostly stunning environments.

Ambitious, inventive and with the tense atmosphere of submarine movies, this is a nice little gem for everybody who might be interested in a different, deglorified take on Privateer or Starlancer.

My Time at Portia enhanced the Harvest-Moon-concept with a new found focus on exploration and construction. Nice!

A fascinating mixture of Outcast and Myst.

Inspired by Journey, Limbo and other adventures Far: Lone Sails tells its Story with low-key music and a unique art design. An emotional road trip thru a deserted apocalypse.

Well executed conversion of two of the most beloved JRPGs of the PS2-era.

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.

Clunky driving physics, a weird AI as well as some other frustrating elements step on the brakes of this conceptually entertaining future racer.

Bizarre postapocalyptic fight for survival.

In terms of mechanics, visuals and the cinemastyle storytelling of the main campaign this is Netherrealm’s masterpiece. Unfortunately spiking AI in the Towers of Time as well as the grindy progression still need to be adressed. Still this is one of the prime fighting games of this generation.

Moving adventure with charming diorama visuals but slight flaws in terms of control and puzzle design.

The strategic elements work well together and are surprisingly complex. But a lot of potential is untapped by the lackluster presentation, the boring dialogues, the superficial view on the matter at hand and the sometimes disrespectful treatment of NPCs.

A visually beautiful and quite complex city-builder that doesn’t rely on its past alone, but adds quite a few new elements to the experience.

A very intense character study embedded in a captivating fantasy adventure. Technically surprisingly impressive on Switch.

This is Earth Defense Force. As it has always been. And as it hopefully will still be in ten years. E.D.F.!

The biggest problem is the low resolution screen with a 60 Hertz refresh rate, which produces nasty blurs on head movements.

The concept behind Baba is You is incredibly fascinating and can give you captivating puzzles. Unfortunately there is almost no motivating incentive to face the challenges.

Challenging tower defense action for up to four demon hunters that would have benefitted from a local co-op mode as well as more polishing in general.

A textbook remaster: The looter shooter that started it all still has its problems (as it did ten years ago), but visually as well as mechanically it is up to date - and still a quell of motivation for hunters and gatherers.

The 20th anniversary of the Atelier saga reduces the roleplaying, while injecting more strategy with annoying time pressure, a few new mechanics and a lot of well known characters.

No-frills port of the classical lawyer adventures preserves the original charm.

Steampunk dungeon crawler located somewhere between Legend of Grimrock and BioShock - with some newly added options on consoles.

This is hands down the best baseball game available right now - especially if you are willing to ignore the microtransactions that impact some of the game modes.

A stylish,engrossing game taking on just decisions as well as moral dilemma, while the player is put in a judges chair. It could be deeper. It could be more meaningful. But it is an interesting take on strategy.
