The exploration of this detailed and living space station is impressive. But it lacks depth in terms of storytelling as well as core mechanics.

With a slight concept change Hey! Pikmin almost feels like a Metroid light or a jump&run. But with creative environmental puzzles and a focus on the right choice of Pikmin, this mobile interpretation of Captain Olimars travels still carries the spirit of its ‘big’ siblings.

No-frills minigolf that is easily accessible and offers course exchange among all systems, while the challenge level could be higher.

Hats off to Supergiant Games. With their third game they push the boundaries again and deliver an exciting and emotional journey with mechanics somewhere between fantasy rugby and a visual novel. Art design and the beautiful soundtrack draw you into this world even more.

While Insomniacs Edge of Nowhere proved that classic action-adventure can be enhanced by VR, Theseus feels like a “normal” game. One, where it seems that Forge Reply didn’t understand the possibilities that virtual reality has to offer. While the meetings with the minotaur are tense due to its sheer size, the rest of the game becomes a tedious below-average experience.

While the action is visceral and filled with brutal finishers, the battle system is facetted, yet not too complex. Too bad that the mechanics were wasted on mostly boring level design.

At its core this still is a creative VR puzzle experience. But compared to the room scale capabilities with Vive and Rift this is just second class.

This is not the content richest game of its kind. But nonetheless this is one of the best bullet hells that you can travel through right now. A motivating high score hunt.

Minimalistic, but stylish slotcar racer that puts you in the middle of a beautiful scenery.

Like Mortal Blitz this rail-shooter is a modern take on arcade shooters like Time Crisis. Piloting a mech that could play a starring role in Pacific Rim you’ll enjoy the tight controls, the challenging encounters and the better-than-expected story.

I love Superhot VR on PC. But without proper room scaling and with evident technical problems this is nothing but a shell of one of the best VR games around. You can still sense the greatness of its brethren, but the execution feels too rushed and not catered to PSVR.

A very clean port of the best musou brawler outside of Omega Force’s Warriors games.

This still is a prime example of intelligent game design, proving how much fun a simple, but well thought through concept can be. The change of pace due to your actions delivers a very unique shooter mechanic.

Splatoon 2 is the equivalent to a beautiful, but moody girlfriend. Mostly you have a great time, but sometimes the inherited quirks are too much to bear. Having said that, the mechanics of this ink shooter still feel fresh, but some lack of content is still evident - as is the problem with time restrictions with certain modes (e.g. Salmon Run) and the finicky online app. (updated 07/21/17)

Steel Division delivers with long, dynamic and challenging battles as well as loads of troop micro management. Mission design and AI need improvement, though.

The mechanical core of this free-to-play hack&slay is more than solid and should satisfy all the loot-hungry superheroes out there with its rich content. Unfortunately not all microtransactions are cosmetic only, while the visuals seem outdated most of the time.

It has its fair share of shortcomings, but nonetheless this twinstick action with its free weapon configs and the surprisingly motivating campaign is quite entertaining.

Charming at first, but you’ll discover all too soon that the stealth-action is too basic, while the steep difficulty level demands trial & error and the visuals are not cool, but sterile.

This rather feels like an Early Access release. While the foundation is rock solid, technical and content issues reduce the fun in this racer tremendously.

While mechanically the old school jump&run with the unofficial PSone mascot feels outdated at times, being thoroughly entertaining nonetheless, visually this is the benchmark for coming remakes.

Very tragic: There is actually an interesting game hidden somewhere in Valkyria Revolution. Well, sorta - there would be, if all the elements and layers would be connected.

Thanks to the facetted battle and gambit systems this is still one of the most interesting Final Fantasy games of all time. Technically it could have been enhanced even more, but overall this is still a very good JRPG that in most not only stood the test of time, but can still compete.

Death Squared is a really good cooperative puzzler. But be warned: You have to communicate, so be prepared, if you play it with your partner...

I expected more from this metaphysical thriller. The Lovecraft induced premise with wild visions as well as the technical and supernatural setting shows promise. But the storytelling dynamics and lack of challenge leave a lot to be desired.

Solid WWII strategy that tries desperately, but never manages to emerge from the shadow of Company of Heroes.

C’mon Sony, you could do better. This is a far cry from games like Buzz or You Don’t Know Jack. This is a rather lame quiz with an unnecessary focus on drawing. It shows though, that the mobile phone is a decent controller replacement.

Conceptually this mixture of bullethell-shmup, sidescrolling action and a Diablo’esque loot system is interesting. The execution doesn’t live up to it, though.

Entertaining mixture of desert exploration and basic builder, that would have benefitted from a coop-mode.
