Master Detective Pikachu Returns is a simple puzzle adventure game without much of a challenge, but with a charming storyline.

Gollum feels like a game that would have had a hard time even ten years ago, as simply the basic framework of stealth and Uncharted climbing is not good and left me more frustrated than motivated.

Even apart from the technical problems, Redfall doesn't manage to convince in any way or to reach the quality of other genre representatives.

Beautifully melancholic bike ride that tells us a poetic story, but playfully remains somewhat one-dimensional.

Gotham Knights obviously suffers from its difficult development, which buries a thoroughly fun core under many problems.

Unconventional experience in an impressive H.R. Giger world that shoots itself with superfluous shooter mechanics.

Steelrising is the epitome of a solid, low-highlight Soulslike that will pass the time until the next genre smash hit.

Even in the reboot, Saints Row offers wacky fun at times, but gets in its own way with grind and repetitive tasks.

A brutal challenge for melee fans that shines on bosses and the combat system but falls short on the areas in the game.

Funny kick for in between, that runs out of breath too quickly due to its disappointing scope.

Although Evil Dead shines with fan service, it still has some crucial quirks, at least in the release version.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is now representative of games that have been severely damaged by an open world.

Dawn of Ragnarok delivers the familiar AC Valhalla feel with a new twist. That's good, but does not blow you away.

The best location in the series and an improved camera do not hide the sometimes blatant weaknesses of House of Ashes.

Nexomon is a solid Pokémon clone with charming monster designs yet technical flaws, it lacks the heart of the original.

Rustler is a pretty but dull experience, it mimics the concepts of its role models without bringing much of its own to the table.

Monster Harvest is a competent Stardew Valley clone, but a lack of fine-tuning and the mundane monster action ruin the harvest.

The second Assassin's Creed Valhalla DLC fails because of its concepts, but Paris is quite suitable for a familiar short trip.

Cyberpunk fascinates with its story and characters, but presents itself in a partially desolate state on consoles.

Twin Mirror is a solid thriller adventure that excites with its great atmosphere, but could be a little more innovative.

Valhalla is a giant step backwards for Assassin's Creed, which is pretty to look at, but feels soulless and fun-free.

I'm not exactly a Wipeout fan, but I made some friends with Pacer.

Little Hope didn't convince me when it came to horror either. Although the scenes seem coherent and remind of good Silent Hill 2 times, too many predictable jump-scares drive away the horror and leave a tired shrug. That's enough for a nice co-op evening with awful company, but otherwise I can't make any recommendations here.

The bottom line is that Marvel’s Avengers works better than I would have thought. But the discrepancy between single player and multiplayer is large.

The perfect alien hunter only gets a mediocre game.

Fun open world snack for in between, that is lacking the last bite.

Bleeding Edge does not manage to motivate over long time and captivates with technical mistakes rather than deep gameplay.

Monotonous and listless remake of a Super Nintendo classic with a flat combat system, loveless game world and bland story.

Even if a few purists gripe because they find Panzer Dragoon Remake's look too colorful or the ruins in the first level changed too much, I felt at home right from the start.

Quotation forthcoming.

A good combat system alone is not enough to make One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows a real hit.

Quotation forthcoming.

I'm torn from afterparty. On the one hand, the crazy characters, along with funny dialogues and completely ridiculous story are an absolute genre highlight. On the other hand, however, what you do in the game is just too much limited. The drink feature is a really funny gimmick, but there is not much depth. Moreover, apart from the decisions on which of the two options you choose, there is not really much to do.

Here, a brave kitten king and a dog monarch rescue the world, and it's really, really funny to watch.

The control, however, has more B-movie quality. The key mapping made sure that I would have hurled my controller against some of the boss fights against the wall. Although I got used to it over time, it would have been even better if the keys had been assigned differently from the start.

I was already skeptical when announcing the remake of MediEvil. Can the PS1 classic keep up with modern titles with its rather shallow Hack & Slay gameplay? Unfortunately, the answer is a clear "no" - at least for those who did not play the original.

Felix danced in the middle of my heart.

As a fan of Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Breakpoint has disappointed me in many ways.

As a big Mario Kart fan, my heart is bleeding.

The game is a bitter disappointment for me. Because just where Until Dawn triumphs, Man of Medan fails.

I like Oninaki. It has hit me emotionally in some places. The melancholic atmosphere appeals to me. It is mainly due to the sensitive soundtrack that strikes the right notes in the sad scenes. Overall, Oninaki looks more stylish and mature on me than its predecessors and Lost Spear.

The four missions remain merely a small appetizer that has not convinced as an independent game and left me disappointed.

Sea of Solitude provides a detailed insight into the emotional world of a person who has to deal with losses and fears. Thus, it contributes a great deal to improving the understanding of such feelings.

Quotation forthcoming.

Rage 2 makes it very hard to befriend the game.

The gameplay works like a hot needle and repeats itself constantly.

Not only is it a lot of fun, as a magician, I feel really powerful when I throw my magic on my enemies with a single wave of my hand. However, they also have to be a real threat. Too often, it's the mass of enemies that bring me to my knees or the Playstation camera loses its connection to the Move controller in a hectic moment, sealing my failure.

Anthem annoys me in particular, because it leaves so much potential left. The Shared World Shooter has an incredibly cool unique selling proposition with the Javelins, but BioWare does not make much of it.

Quotation forthcoming.

As a big fan of the first part, it's not easy for me to say that, but Crackdown 3 is at least five years late...This is all the sadder, because the mechanics in Crackdown 3 are quite solid and I especially enjoy the search for the movement Orbs. But the bottom line is the sobering result of a developmental odyssey, which will probably be the last nail for the series.

Important classic from the early Playstation 2 era, which is no longer up to date, but has a great atmosphere.

Monotonous Hero-MOBA-shooter in VR without a unique selling point. Due to a lack of variety it stops being interesting in a very short time, despite well-done controls.

Quotation forthcoming.

Quotation forthcoming.

Insane massive battles with excellent B-movie flair, a lot of fun with friends, but lacks just a little variety.

Technically well-done retro collection with basic beat'em-up classics that are great in co-op with friends.

Quotation forthcoming.

Cute rogue-like RPG which introduces interesting ideas, but ultimately turns out to be a dreary grind festival.

Visually impressive, but internally soulless and undemanding space action, only suitable for short sessions between bus stops.

A good game for anime fans, with rapid battles and great innovations, but still missing variety.

A simple puzzle adventure in a magnificent game world, representing a refreshing new way for the series.

Despite its quirks, Sea of ​​Thieves is an experience that you can't get in this form anywhere else.

The HD Collection offers nothing new and looks technically out of date. Only suitable for those who want to catch up on Dante's first performances.
