Brutally hard 2D-platformer with a bizarre setting and mainly aimed at fans of Super Meat Boy.

Better graphics, all DLCs. This is the best version of the game, but only if you don't own the GOTY edition of the old-gen version.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is a monster of content and the best Monster Hunter of the old era. On Switch, too.

A very beautiful and emotionally gripping journey full of creative puzzles in surreal dream worlds.

A retro blast with fantastic staging and hard difficulty setting. An indie gem for professionals with a high resistance to frustration.

Beautiful action-adventure with innovative gameplay, but it lacks other improvements and diversity.

Ice with style. NHL 19 is actually a very good sports game, but the microtransactions for the HUT mode are a scandal.

Pokémon Sword & Shield is the best game in the series thanks to more complex combat and attention to detail.

Reanimal is a short audiovisual masterpiece that makes even Little Nightmares 3 look like a complex tactical adventure game.

A great comeback. It's a RPG that makes you think about every skill point, the smartest way to achieve a goal or decisions in quests.

There are a few minor points of criticism that separate Dungeons of Hinterberg from being a hit. The platforming passages, for example, are always frustrating due to the missing jump button. We also missed visual changes. The swords have their own designs, but the scabbard always stays the same. New armor only changes the stats, not Luisa's look. That's complaining at a high level, but together with the fights that could be improved, there is enough room for improvement for a possible successor, which we would definitely be looking forward to. There are definitely potential starting points for a sequel.

The perceived best-of series is the best Mario Party in recent years, but could have used a bigger scope.

Great mix of Tales and Persona with refreshing, fun fights but far too linear social interaction.

The innovative gameplay profits from the improved controls on the PS4. A must have title beyond the mainstream.

The mixture of action adventure, action RPG and puzzle game works - at least if you let go of the expectation that everything must be as it was on GameCube back then.

Sugar sweet, sophisticated 3D platformer, close the greats of the genre, with lots of creativity and great level design.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is an action spectacle with one of the best combat systems in recent years. But apart from that, it serves up rather standard fare.

A more than worthy sequel. Many inconveniences were eradicated, many shallow moments filled with playing depth. And so the successor has also become the somewhat better game.

It mixes outstanding level design, clever gameplay gimmicks and last but not least the fantastic graphic style into a big (overall) whole that feels all around from the beginning to the end like a classic Nintendo "feel-good game".

The great focus on exploring without any explanation is great - although it is a bit unfortunate that Hob does not tell an interesting story.

Wo Long is an action firework with a great, complex combat system, but unfortunately with some technical issues.

Cuddly Jump&Run with fun couch co-op and fantastic music levels. The sacklings do well without an editor!

Solid railway company game in the style of Ascaron's economic simulations. Doesn't reinvent the wheel, but runs well.

An exciting world and high replay value sparkle once again in The Outer Worlds 2, even if the main story is not the strongest.

TOEM is an all-around charming photo adventure with heartwarming stories and quirky characters, but pretty short and shallow characters, but pretty short and shallow.

With its mixture of serious story and relaxed gameplay, Wanderstop shows how important it is to shift down a gear sometimes.

Echo is not using its full potential, but the adaptive AI offers an interesting gameplay idea and a cool sci-fi story.

An action-packed, atmospheric new edition of the classic, but which is still in the shadow of its predecessor

Despite limitations in graphics and operation, it's amazing that Doom works so well on the Switch, even in handheld mode. Personally, I would like to play such an impressive experience as Doom rather on the big TV, but luckily with the switch one has the choice.

Kirby Air Riders is the most chaotic racing game of recent years, yet it offers more depth and scope than almost any other title in the fun racer genre.

An impressive visual and interactive experience, especially for VR novices, but the gameplay is too linear and shallow.

Quotation forthcoming.

A classic Soulslike with refreshing ideas that you shouldn't take lightly.

The moody Tim Burton look, the innovative combat system and the exceptional characters can't fully compensate for the lack of variety.

If you want to experience an incredibly atmospheric dystopia from three gripping, strongly influenced angles, then this is the place to be.

For fans of hockey, NHL 17 delivers another cool experience. Recommended.

A Way Out reminded me of the terrific TV series Prison Break in its best moments, even though the time pressure is often just an illusion and scenes obviously follow a script. Despite some logic holes, the simple gameplay and the dusty graphics I had a lot of fun.

Great Musou in terms of gameplay, that tells the story before Breath of the Wild, but also has to struggle with technical problems.

I just like to turn my head off and be overwhelmed by the overblownness of the game.

Assassin's Creed's successful first foray into virtual reality, which does a lot right in terms of gameplay, but stumbles technically.

Quotation forthcoming.

An atmospheric adventure with an astonishing world and exceptional characters who carry the game even over some lengthy sections.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A offers a fresh, fun battle system and the typical collecting fever, but also suffers from outdated graphics.

I like the style and the setting. Having to frequently run around to find pieces of the story can be annoying, but the fascinating and touching story kept me playing.

Depending on its edition, FIFA 22 is either the leap into a new generation - of more or less the same ... or the annual insolence.

An action-adventure that fortunately gives us a lot of credit, captivates us with its world, but offers too little variety in the battles.
