A haunting, personal horror story that doesn't need jumpscares or cheap shcking moments.

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.

Diablo Immortal has a solid and fun foundation but falls short due to the forced grind and its P2W systems.

Shenmue 3 is polarizing: For some it is a dream come true, for others it is frumpy game design in a slightly prettier garment.

Rage 2 makes it very hard to befriend the game.

Loveless cobbled-together arcade brawler with only a few scenes showing the genius of Goichi Suda.

Although the game lags far behind its potential, it's fun.

Outbound is a laid-back and inspiring cozy adventure that falls a bit short when it comes to crafting.

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.

Anything but dirt: Spintires is a fun off-road simulation for patient truck fans.

You should not expect playful depths.

Neat shooter strategy mix, which leaves a lot of room for a possible successor.

Quotation forthcoming.

Oceanhorn is a high-quality Zelda clone with great visuals and gameplay, definitely worth a sailing trip.

Hidden Agenda is a nice interactive thriller, but it lacks finetuning regarding story and gameplay mechanics.

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

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

Quotation forthcoming.

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.

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

CoD: Black Ops 7 is particularly enjoyable in multiplayer mode – the story campaign, on the other hand, lags behind.

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

Tohu inspires with its art design and also performs a solid point & click performance with a few weaknesses.

Quotation forthcoming.

A quite passable arcade racer with licensed race cars and with cleary noticable free-to-play roots.

The progress system is getting dull, the rubber band AI keeps the races overly artificially exciting - and these are just two examples of a long list of small to medium-sized quirks. But even if the game is not as perfect as the big role model Forza Horizon, I have the same amount of fun in The Crew 2 as in the open-world racer from Microsoft.

Impressivly atmospheric VR dinosaur experience with great visuals, but with a disappointing amount of content and a story without depth.

Biomutant tries to pack an abundance of game elements into an open world but fails in almost every aspect.

Straightforward, snappy and immensely entertaining old-school wrestling, but a bit hampered by outdated technology.

I had also hoped for a thrilling thriller and that's exactly what I got.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

The frustration factor is a bit too pronounced due to the really stressful survival character.

Forspoken inspires with its parkour and combat system, but is otherwise only moderately convincing and gives away a lot of potential.

Although Darksiders 3 is not a masterpiece like its predecessor, Gunfire Games have managed to create an almost fun and sometimes tough action-adventure game with reduced resources and well-sanctioned gameplay.

Probably the best possible implementation of the RPG maker for the extremly closed 3DS environment. A good editor, despite its limitations.

It's all about the (still fun) gunplay, but the story suffers heavily... Youngblood, especially in co-op, is quite fun. Personally, I would have liked but fewer side quests and more "real" story missions, because the latter are clearly too short.

Hood: Outlaws & Legends does not make enough of its good opportunities and disappoints with monotonous rounds and small scope.

Quotation forthcoming.

It's basically Chronicles: China with a new skin. A solid sequel to a solid 2D platformer.

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.

An atmospheric detective thriller with a great setting that gets in its own way during the action.

I like Destruction AllStars. I really like it a lot. The anarchy of the gameplay reminds me of my endless PS1 evenings with Destruction Derby or Demolition Racer. Something happens all the time, there is always a crash somewhere - I never get bored.

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

It's an irrelevant racing game with a core idea that is out of date by now.

It's a nice and solid game but lacks many features. Clearly not the "next generation" of golf games.

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

Fast and fun multiplayer-brawler with a Naruto license, but it still lacks in scope.

At its best, Tales of the Shire perfectly captures life in the Shire, but suffers from poor technology.

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

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.

The great port offers a lot of potential for frustrations due to the lack of communication tools. The co-op fun ignites only with friends using Skype or similar tools.

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.

Assassin's Creed 3 is playfully still a good action adventure game that I can recommend to anyone who has not played it yet. Some gameplay elements and features may not be up-to-date anymore, but you'll get a satisfying and comprehensive package by today's standards.

Suicide Squad is a shadow of what once made Rocksteady one of the best developers for open world action games.

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

Skull and Bones' sea battles can be a lot of fun, especially in co-op, but in the long run the pirate game is too repetitive.

Mario Party: The Top 100 is a nice mini-game collection, which quickly runs out of steam despite the large selection.

The story has its weaknesses, but it offers a very thrilling, non-linear experience that shines with great actors and far-reaching decisions.

After a promising start, the Inpatient turns out to be a disappointment in almost all areas.

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

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

If you don't need the original D&D rules, Sword Coast Legends offers a lot of RPG fun. The console port isn't great though.

1-2 Switch shows the Joy-Con's potential for funny games, but as a game collection it offers not enough long-term motivation. Should have been part of the package.

The creators manage the balancing act between fantasy and science fiction really well, the environment is full of loving details and surprises.

While the technical part is quite convincing, the new Sonic lacks game depth and scope.

For me, the curse of Osiris has no raison d'être. To raise the level cap, to introduce new items, to offer a mini raid - it does not need a 20 Euro DLC, that should be a free update! All the worse, that the campaign also turns out to be shockingly demanding and unimaginative.

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

Shallow co-op brawler with heroes of D&D novels. Its strong points cannot unfold due to poor AI and lack of fine-tuning.

Jump Force still has problems in the current version. The balancing could still use fine tuning, the lobby is awkward, and the constant load times are annoying. Nevertheless, I enjoy the game, especially after I came to understand the combat system. Of course, it's not as complicated and diverse as a classic 2D examiner, but it's still a pleasure to try all your abilities.

Innovative, but quite repetitive scary adventure. The blindness mechanism is fascinating, but its gameplay doesn't really shine.

Drawn to Death is a "nice to look at" shooter that loses steam fast as far as gameplay mechanics are concerned.

The perfect alien hunter only gets a mediocre game.

Despite the fun multiplayer, CoD Modern Warfare 3 is the biggest disappointment in the series' history so far.

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

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

Quotation forthcoming.

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.

Good looking, but frustrating, lengthy, messy and ultimately trivial.

It is a confused mess of superfluous mechanics, confused AI, unfinished approaches and monotonous Brawler gameplay. Valkyria Revolution is well-presented and well-written, but in the end, it is just a nice package for a game that has failed at its core.

The technically old-fashioned Left 4 Dead clone is entertaining with the right team, but tries too hard.

Quotation forthcoming.

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

Vane has a great premise, but it's overshadowed by glitches, bugs, graphics bugs, and a wildly spinning camera.

Quotation forthcoming.

Bravo Team delivers some solid VR shooter action with few highlights and little content.

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

The basic gameplay idea is solid, but due to the bad implementation the game barely escapes being a total write-off.

I honestly don't know why this game was released on PS4. Godzilla didn't deserve this.

Anyone looking to get involved with Left Alive needs patience and tremendous frustration resistance.

Past Cure's mix of stealth and action is fun. After a mediocre beginning, even the mysterious story picks up speed.

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.

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.

The catastrophic technical condition obscures the gaming experience enormously: glitches, bugs, poor sound mixing, zombies without hitbox make DayZ a nightmarish gaming experience that is hardly fun.

Quotation forthcoming.

Creative potato visuals meets complex management sim. However, the variety necessary to be a great strategy title is missing in the long run.
