An attempted effort to improve a game that does not meet the quality standards the first six games of the Layton series have set. While it tries to follow the footsteps of its predecessors, Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy fails in providing a compelling story, memorable characters and emotional peaks. The new adventure seems to be targeting a new audience, meaning that some of the old fans might opt out while they wait for Kat to really follow her father’s footsteps and find her proper place in the genre.

An interesting idea with a decent production, Iron Danger could be the basis for something truly amazing in the future.

A "feel good" simulation game that borrows ideas from Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing in order to put together tons of content to keep you occupied for hours upon hours. If it wasn't for the sometimes tiresome grinding and the fact that the interesting story comes to a halt rather fast, it could have been an instant classic.

The Overwatch port for Switch suffers from technical issues which alter the otherwise fluid and fast gameplay of Blizzard's shooter. The Switch Pro controller is essential for everyone who plans to spend more than a couple of hours with this version.

Spellforce 3 mixes two beloved genres, RPGs and RTSs, and even though it does not excel in either gameplay branch it succeeds in delivering a solid, fresh and unique experience. Through a solid story and world building it gives the opportunity for our hero to actually take part in battles in contrast with traditional RPGs, where he is only a spectator.

Whoever had experience with any of the main Far Cry games since Far Cry 3 and afterwards will know exactly what to expect from here. Same forts to conquer, same guns to use, same abilities to utilize, same quest design, same everything albeit in the setting of Yara (read "fictionalized Cuba").

Gaijin Entertainment offers a very interesting and enjoyable take on the dogfights of World War II. With "arcade" and "simulator" controls that will appeal to almost everyone, and with a budget price tag, this is the "flight simulator" game you've been waiting for.

Another Code: Recollection is a well-made remaster that skillfully combines both games of the series, presenting the full story in a nice and cohesive package.

An ode to the Dragon Ball Z era of the franchise. As a game it has its share of flaws and problems, but as a tribute and a fan service, Kakarot is probably the best thing that has happened to avid fans of the anime series.

Rage 2 might retain the signature and utterly satisfying shooting of id games, but it cannot overcome the significant repetition of its "map cleaning" structure marred by a startlingly limited number of main missions.

Worms Revolution is a refreshing new direction on the traditional Worms recipe, but falls short on being called a "revolution" due to some gameplay problems and lack of truly new content.

Though not without shortcomings Hard West is nevertheless an especially interesting alternate take of the Wild West. It’s a game that takes many risks, especially in terms of storytelling, and manages to succeed more times than not.

The new addition to the Space Hulk franchise is doing justice to the name it carries, with well designed campaigns, decent presentation and addictive gameplay. On the downside, the implementation of the Cards nearly breaks the game, making it repetitive and very slow.

Blades of Fire marks a welcome return for MercurySteam to large-scale games. Its melee-focused combat is deeply satisfying and carries a distinct identity, no small feat in the crowded soulslike genre. If only its objectives and level design weren't quite so convoluted.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/ Shining Pearl is a trip down memory lane – just as the developers intended. Admittedly, players can have a good time in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/ Shining Pearl, however, this good time feels more like a deja-vu rather than a refreshing experience that previous Pokémon titles remakes used to provide.

Although Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure All Star Battle R has rich offline content to offer, in the long term it‘ll be difficult to keep the audience because the lack of rollback netcode creates problems in online matches.

While Draugen never reaches the promised story quality and world building we have come to expect from Ragnar Tornquist, there is still charm and beauty to be found is this secret Norwegian corner of the world.

If only the highly derivative RTS part of Smelter was skipped during development, it would probably allow its platform segments to truly shine. Here is hoping that a possible sequel will follow the route of ActRaiser (a game so similar you’d believe Smelter might be a spin-off) and be made exclusively as platform game.

It is a functional roguelike that has the added benefit of depicting a nice looking American countryside environment. Although it could last you for hours, the lack of variety in looting, crafting, and different areas hurt the overall experience in the long term.

Even though it had a less than flattery introduction, the second half changes the gear and managed to capture our interest. There is uneven quality among the actors and some cheesy dialogue, but it nevertheless narrates an interesting story that we would very well like to see how it unfolds. Let’s hope that it will prove to be True Detective season 1 and not season 2.

Instead of giving us a lengthy story of a great character (Fetch) Sucker Punch offers an interesting albeit short campaign, packed with a bland and boring arena mode.

They Always Run gives the impression of a proof of concept that didn’t have the time or resources to fully materialize in a complete and finalized game. As it stands the combat is very static and devoid of energy, with just glimpses of a more exciting choreography, the story comes extremely abruptly to a (non) finale, and the audio is entirely lackluster.

What Mario Strikers: Battle League Football does extremely well, and differentiates from the rest of the Mario sports games, is build on its predecessors’ gameplay and provide a traditional, yet refreshingly deep experience, enough to entertain and challenge the players. However, the lack of available characters, the cosmetic-only use of fields and the unnecessary need to grind for coins takes back much of the enjoyment and deprives the title of the opportunity to have been a stellar sports title for the Nintendo Switch.

A nostalgic trip to the past with lots of ups and downs. It has a brilliant and addictive gameplay, but also some obsolete mechanics along with many technical issues.

The newest chapter of the Mafia series takes us back to Sicily in 1900, a move that proves to be its strongest point. The design is excellent and feels utterly authentic to the era, from costumes to cars. The Old Country is slow-paced, but this works in its favour thanks to strong, well-written characters and an engaging, if clichéd, story that holds attention from start to finish. Hopefully, next time Hangar 13 will invest more in the gameplay department, as here it can only be described as derivative.

With the new film of the space opera saga finally on the big screen and the release of Battlefront's new sequel, both after a decade overdue, it is definitely the best time to be a Star Wars fan. The game itself is a dream-come-true for fans, and the Star Wars spectacle is strong in this one. However, if it is depth and longevity you seek... this is not the game you are looking for.

This new Scribblenauts adventure retains almost every element we loved from the previous games, but at the same time fails to do something truly new and engaging.

Probably the best Brain Training game with well made and addictive exercises and a very fun multiplayer mode.
