Like its PC brother the console version of City of the Damned delivers challenging turn-based strategy. And like its PC brother it lacks technical finesse and precision. But that rarely impacts the fun.

Maybe it is time for Yuke’s to give the pro-wrestlers a break, take a good look at their game, question everything and leave no stone unturned. While the fight mechanics reflect the tension and pace of the “real” battles of the WWE superstars and the roster is more stacked than ever, there is nothing surprising in this year's grappling attack on your wallet.

Arkham City still is one of the prime example of a streamlined open world where everything is tied it to the comic origins, while Arkham Asylum also captures the spirit of the visual novels in a sense that will keep you glued to the screen. Unfortunately both games on both systems suffer from technical shortcomings, mostly framerate issues.

Traveller’s Tales could have improved the visuals, while gamers used to recent Lego games will be shocked when they hear the mumbling and grunting that serves as communication. But that aside Harry’s adventures still show off their charm, their humor and especially some of the most beautifully crafted hub areas in the history of Lego adventures.

Not only does DICE deliver their best campaign to date this side of Bad Company. It also pushes online-multiplayer to new heights with atmospheric battles and intense gunfights.

Even with the restriction that the AI is seemingly unable to cope in the final third of the game, this is a good and content-rich old-school strategy that keeps calling me with the infamous “one more turn”.

A rather disappointing expansion that doesn’t add or improve anything to the storyline or the redundant hunt for better equipment.

With the reduction to action-adventures’ core elements and the option added to create your own heroes this is the most refined Skylanders so far.

Even with slightly less impressive visuals due to a lower resolution than on Rift Valkyrie shows how immersive and engrossing action can be if it is developed for VR and VR only.

Yes, it is entertaining. But is also hardly more than a fairly short and repetitive time travel trip through Sega's console history.

In contrast to the sometimes boring statics of Japanese visual novels inkle Studios show how lively “interactive digital stories” can be. A fitting conclusion to an exceptional saga.

It is so hard not to like DragonQuest Builders. With its mix of MineCraft-ish creative freedom, meaningful quests and a very superficial fight system this adventure sparks my curiosity and keeps me interested for a long time.

If you like the tension of Alien Isolation, you will like Syndrome. But you have to be able to ignore the frequent trial & error, which in combination with long loading times can get to you.

The controls are well conceived, but the puzzles as well as storytelling are without any challenge.

The concept is simple and motivating, while the technical execution is solid and delivers accurate head tracking. Unfortunately there can be a bug that can keep you from moving to the next level. Pity.

This is a timeless gem, an audiovisual piece of art that didn’t lose any of its fascination even after 14 years, while thanks to the VR implementation you feel closer to the action than ever before.

It is fast. It is unforgiving. But it always stays fair. What starts as a fairly simple variation of rhythm games soon becomes a hypnotic struggle to stay in the zone that will keep you motivated and frustrated at the same time.

The controls are top notch, the sickness factor bearable for most of the time and the visuals are among the best you can get on PSVR right now. But the lack of content harms this proof that VR and ego-action indeed is possible.

At its core Hybrid Wars shows a solid twinstick shooter foundation somewhere between the classics Expandable and Desert Strike. But the pace is off for most of the time while technical flaws, mostly framerate issues, make you want to look for alternatives.

Aragami is a pleasant surprise. It shows some technical deficits and it is not bug-free. But the stealth action is cleverly designed and if you can’t wait for Styx: Shards of Darkness you’ll find an interesting alternative that will keep your hunger satisfied.

For a short while Marooners presents neat party fun. But compared to games like Mario Party it lacks substance and content.

Supermassives takes the rail-shooter quite literally. But they succeed. While it is visually not as impressive as the game that spawned this light shooter, it still manages to induce panic and delivers its fair share of jumpscares.

It leaves you wanting more. And not only because it is so short. But also because it looks great and shows off a lot of interesting ideas. I hope that Rocksteady turns this into an episodical game. I would prefer this to Telltale’s caped crusader anytime.

Lo Wang’s run-and-gun excursion doesn’t want to be anything else but a classic shoot-em-up with cocky one-liners and bucketloads of blood. And hell, does it succeed. Duke Nukem would be proud.

Blizzard learned from past mistakes. Legion has a plethora of content and stronger story elements on offer, but would benefit from more depth within the classes.

The “Left 4 Dead” of the Warhammer Universe was a surprisingly good variation of the team-vs-horde mechanics. And it still is.

This could have been a great take of revenge. Instead you get a collectathon in an open world that suffers from technical glitches – with the exception of the gorgeous cutscenes. While the predecessors had their own identity this is hardly more than a faceless, insignificant action playground.

PlayStation VR Worlds is an interesting, but overpriced collection of tech demos showing off the possibilities of VR technology.
