In addition I find the track design too uninspired, the character selection too lean and the driving feeling in direct comparison to inaccurate.

Titans of the Tide is like a cold Krabby Patty. Edible for SpongeBob fans, but not fresh and with a bland aftertaste.

Heat is the best Need for Speed in years, motivates and is a tuning monster - but not in a league with the competition.

It's an entertaining genre mix full of effects, but it loses its charm fast due to the narrow scope and modest replay value.

The graphic updates are immediately noticeable even without direct comparison.

The biggest drawback, probably due to the budget, is the game world itself, which looks too uniform and empty. Often we just run from one point to another as if on rails, fighting in the fun and varied combat system against too light standard opponents to reach the real highlight of the game - the different factions with their stories.

Nintendo Switch Sports skillfully brings back Wii Sports for the whole family, but also misses out on old sports.

Like its predecessors, Sniper Elite: Resistance scores with a gripping stealth action mix, but does not noticeably develop the series any further.

A magical journey through norse mythology and worth a look, despite some small gameplay deficits.

Trashy final fantasy spinoff with a dull story but also with an ingenious combat system and online coop.

It's Blood Bowl with a facelift and not enough to be a worthy successor to the legendary or chaos edition.

The open world sparks a sense of adventure and the typical Poké-collecting fever, but beyond that it hardly has any exciting ideas in terms of gameplay.

Rainbow Six Extraction can be really entertaining in co-op rounds, but wears out noticeably over time.

Payday 2 is an immersive and intense "Crime Fantasy" experience and one of those games you like to talk about at a campfire.

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.

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

Thanks to the Aim Controller, Farpoint is a short but extremly intense experience that lacks gameplay depth.

The story is so exciting.

Technically well improved open-world action, with gameplay variety and an intricate story.

Super Meat Boy 3D is a near-perfect 3D adaptation of the original, making it a great platformer for anyone looking for a brutally difficult yet always fair and motivating challenge.

The Medium scores particularly well with its story and gripping atmosphere, but does not reach that class in terms of gameplay.

Many of the puzzles are clever, and the battles have entertained me.

In Sable, all parts intertwine in a perfect manner. Alone the technical deficiencies currently impair the experience.

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

Flintlock comes with good ideas and an exciting premise, but ultimately turns out to be a half-baked attempt at a new soulslite.

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

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.

Interesting repurposing with open-world design that makes fast movement fun, but stumbles over technical issues.

Lego Horizon Adventures is the most beautiful LEGO game yet, with charming co-op action that leaves too little to explore.

Melancholic underwater adventure with a story focus and an atmosphere that produces goosebumps.

Colorful and action-packed space opera with a funny toys-to-life component. Deductions for the outrageous pricing policy.

The AI ​​guides and the minimap have made the game a bit too easy at times, but that's ultimately a matter of taste.

Boyfriend Dungeon is an enjoyable genre hybrid with charming characters, it fails however to fulfill its rogue-lite potential.

Virtual Rick-ality offers fans the typical humor of the series and a great recognition value, but the gameplay is convincing, too.

Wrath of the Druids offers the usual Valhalla experience, only in Irish, but wastes potential in the process.

As far as gameplay is concerned, Watch Dogs: Legion is not reinventing hacking, but as usual offers a lot of solutions for all sorts of problems. But as soon as I leave the role of the secret hacker and conjure up the action of Watch Dogs: Legion, a little too little happens to me for such play styles to be really entertaining. So the fun of Watch Dogs: Legion depends entirely on how you play Watch Dogs: Legion.

Mario Golf: Super Rush relies on solid golf gameplay and the multiplayer funfactor, but gets bogged down with some innovations.

Extraordinary.

After nine years, destroying lots of buildings with a hammer and explosives is still a lot of fun.

A must for SpongeBob fans who already couldn't put the controller down during Battle for Bikini Bottom.

It's a routine sequel and that's why the special nature of the predecessor gets lost in the huge game world.

That's you is a hit at every party - if you are happy with the limited number of options.

Immortals of Aveum brings a fresh breeze to the FPS genre with its peculiarities. Just right for fun solo action in between.

With a little more sensitive controls and adjustments when it comes to scoring goals, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Heroes would even have hit anime characters.

Quotation forthcoming.

In contrast to the first part, I can now recommend Knack 2 without any reservations.

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.

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

Level and puzzle design are neither challenging nor particularly creative.

A clever color mixing puzzler with many new ideas and exciting puzzle mechanics, but quite weak on the narrative level.

An addictive dungeon crawler with typical Pokémon charm, but which takes some time to unfold.

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

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.

The remake of Battle for Bikini Bottom is a loving implementation of the original that spongebob fans should not miss.

Even though Lost Sphear may not quite match the quality class of the SNES classic, the Tokyo RPG Factory is much closer to the big role model with their new game than it was in I am Setsuna.

Yooka-Laylee captures the feeling of Rare platformers in an impressive way, but stumbles over flaws with camera and controls.

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.

No real alternative to the "big" FIFA 18, but a fast arcade kick in handheld mode.

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

Quotation forthcoming.

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.
