Quotation forthcoming.

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

Intoxicating flying game with fantastic controls, but also with a repetitive campaign and weak multiplayer.

Pokémon Sun and Moon offer a lot of improvements and serve as foundation stone for a new generation of Pokémon games. A must have.

Pokémon Sun and Moon offer a lot of improvements and serve as foundation stone for a new generation of Pokémon games. A must have.

Even one year later Lara's journey to become a heroine is thrilling and brilliantly staged. Thanks to the extras it was worth waiting for this game.

Motivating, funny and amazingly cute: if you like the Chibi look and love to catch monsters, you'll love this game.

A charming and creative adventure with great ideas, but annoying fights and frustrating moments. Not the best Mario appearance.

Visually remastered and with adjusted gameplay: Dragon Quest 7 has mastered the transition to the 3DS in an impressive way.

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

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

Oceanhorn is a high-quality clone of Zelda with a lot of charm and definitely worth a sailing trip.

Abzu is a relaxing dive, balancing the lack of gameplay diversity with its beautiful design.

A timeless and fresh anime epic with thrilling tactical battles.

It's rare that developers actually keep the promises they made at fairs and preview events. A fantastic conclusion to the series. Nathan Drake's biggest and best adventure is a must-have.

Extremly difficult, well thought through and thrilling at every move. A real gem for hardcore tacticians.

The foundation is there: Yo-Kai are a good albeit not perfect alternative to Pokémon.

It's more like a remake than a new part of the series. Star Fox Zero relies on the old strong points of the series but doesn't offer anything really new.

It's like the first interactive Pixar movie with great graphics and wild action. Small problems are easily compensated for by all that charm and humor.

Spectacular action meets impressive real movie episodes: Quantum Breaks looks fantastic and tells a captivating story.

Quotation forthcoming.

Pokémon Tekken combines both original games into a great fighting game. Only the single player mode lacks diversity.

It's still an impressive, movie like experience with weak gameplay and some logic problems.

This HD remaster is a complete success. If you haven't played Twilight Princess yet, you should do it ASAP.

Worthy successor to Bravely Default with new classes and technically impressive. But the recycled content is annoying.

Quotation forthcoming.

Quotation forthcoming.

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

Quotation fortcoming.

A great experience for Marvel and Lego enthusiasts. Without that bonus it's a just a bit above average.

It's a simple and ingenious open world puzzle game with great art design. It's both fascinating and challenging.

This game isn't fair - just like war. Even a hard earned victory tastes bittersweet.

It's like tuning a car on the cheap. Nice looks, but still a rust bucket underneath. It suffers from performance problems, cheating AI, a boring world, a boring story and useless multiplayer features.

An old-fashioned RPG with overly complicated menus. But after just a little bit of playtime it shows unexpected qualities.

The alternative to Rock Band focuses on the single player experience and offers a lot of fun. It's a shame that Activision uses absurd microtransactions which makes the game look a bit like a rip off.

With three players it's huge fun, albeit a bit too drab in the long run. Singleplayer on the other hand is a test in patience for masochists. All in all a great multiplayer Zelda.

The ubisoft formula in perfection: Assassin's Creed includes the best missions of the series and does everything better than Unity. Who would have expected that?

Lots of Action and fun, loveable heroes, great game mechanics, but it lacks diversity.

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.

If I hadn't seen it coming I would be really annoyed now. You don't treat a 15 year old heritage like that, careless and without love. Romomodo & Activision: Please don't make Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 6.

There's room for improvement. Annoying bugs and a lackluster song selections are sabotaging the great gameplay and clever innovations.

It's not easy to port complex strategy games to game consoles, but the gamepad works so well as if Grand Ages: Medieval was made for the Playstation 4 right from the start.

A must-buy sports game, there is no better basketball simulation out there.

A well-done remastered collection of three fantastic games. A must buy.

Need for game depth. Except for Nitro Rush there's nothing we didn't see somewhere else 1,276 times already. No limits is too limited.

A lot of humor, creativity, fun and a smart way to use the toypad. This is the new dimension of Toy2Life games.

It's not easy to get into and doesn't include a story, but if you persevere Elite: Dangerous is the best available space opera.

It adds a lot of new things and changes game mechanics for the better: less grinding and easier to get into for new players.

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

It's just as fascinating as it was in 1997, but technically it could have been a much better port.

This is a simple shooter with some uninspired swordplay. We expected more from the creator of Ninja Gaiden.

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.

It may not be a game to show off the capabilities of the PS4, but the Enhanced Edition of Risen 3 is much better than the other console versions.

The violence is way over the top, so it can't be and shouldn't be taken seriously. Otherwise it's a very solid game with demanding fights.

The game has suffered by being ported to the 3Ds. It's still a great game, but I would only recommend the Wii version.

It's Kirby without the real Kirby or free movements. A lot of the series's charm is lost that way and the controls are repetitive.

That's how remakes should be done. If you never played it before, even the price is right for more than 80 hours of playtime.

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

Even simple quests cause a chain reaction of new incidents and it's possible to see how the player affects Tamriel. But if you expect something like Skyrim with coop-mode you still have to wait for another game.

It's a nice casual action-adventure, but its age clearly shows. Ten-year-old game mechanics with upgraded graphics.
