In terms of story-telling and direction this might as well be an addition to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe with its high production values. But as soon as you stray away from the main plot, you’ll land in an open world that is mostly beautiful to look at, but where some positive elements meet quite a few that are only average at best. Nonetheless a great superhero romp throughout.

Entertaing no-frills co-operative arcade-shooter with decent visuals. It says a lot if the highest praise you can give it, is to say, that it doesn’t do anything wrong.

This is how role-playing games must be ported from PC to consoles. Content-rich and with a well conceived as well as executed control scheme you will get more than 80 hours of exceptional entertainment.

In terms of content and base mechanics this is just as good as on PC, but Neocore still has problems to translate their engine to console. And it shows in a lot of areas - especially on the standard systems.

Juan's first adventure was a vital part of the Metroidvania revival. And Guacamelee 2 is an almost pitch perfect continuation. A great action platformer with high difficulty, a brilliant art design and co-op play for up to four Luchadors.

With all its technical shortcomings that show the age of the originals, these adventures are a prime example for good story-telling and still show more atmosphere, character and soul than a lot of open world playgrounds in recent years.

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

It is a lot of fun to be the clinic director in the spiritual successor to Theme Hospital. But the jokes get stale a tad too soon, while the beginning phase of each hospital becomes too routine.

While the Switch version of Victor Vran maintains to keep the basic fascination of the action-adventure/-roleplaying hybrid, the technical conversion leaves quite a few things to be desired.

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

The concept is interesting, but this tower defense with its mobile heroes feels unfinished.

Forget the lame story and the superficial exploration. The battle system and the art design could convince you to sink your teeth into this turn based tactics RPG.

Compared to H1Z1 on PC, this port is not only technically worse off, but the generally superficial battle royale is also limited in terms of content, thus influencing tactics and tension on the battlefield.

This feels more like an elaborate add-on. While the new recipes and locations generate a lot of fun and the online-capabilities deliver, the story-mode once again is just another accumulation of uninspired levels.

Ambitious action-adventure with a strong story and a beautiful visual direction. The superficial mechanics are average at best, though.

The entertaining story with its interesting themes is held back by bland minigames and clunky controls.

Is it better than last year? Theoretically yes. The visuals are improved, so is the running game. But there are also still some old problems left to fix, while the continuation of the Longshot story mode suffers from an irrelevant script.

Flat Heroes is “good old” platform action filled with ideas, challenge and high playability.

It was restored with great attention to detail. The main problem is that the source is as average nowadays as it was for its original release.

Compared to last year, this is “just” an evolution, but captures motorsport perfectly once more and gives you one of the best careers in racing games.

Intense and motivating action in a visually impressive fantasy world.

Amateurish, clumsy but challenging at times. Tiny Hands is miles away from the quality of its role models like Crash Bandicoot. This is more like Trash Bandicoot.

Challenging action in a beautiful pixel world with loads of interesting weapons and a slightly misbalanced repetition per hour ratio.

Collect research data on the Enterprise D, fight against Romulans and Borg - TNG enhances the technically sound VR experience with motivating content.

A nice idea held back by its boring execution that pales in comparison to Rogue Aces.

Charming horror comedy adventure with cool abilities and choices held back only by the puzzles hardly setting a challenge.

In terms of content this is the Titan Quest you love. But technical or interface problems in handheld and even more so in docked mode, hold this action rpg classic back.

A year ago on consoles the potential was basically untapped. Now, especially with the addition of a campaign, it is a much more engrossing experience.
