F1 2019 is a consistent development. At the same time, the developers actually succeeded in further improving the already excellent driving feel of F1 2018. The sheer amount of small improvements is almost overwhelming for an annual update.

Excellent, energetic, moving. Despite its small quirks, Ori 2 is one of the best Metroidvanias ever.

The great presentation is one thing. What makes Dragon Ball FighterZ so good is the fine-tuning of its mechanics and its thought-out balancing.

Halo Infinite's campaign and multiplayer will delight fans especially, but the dreary hub world is hardly motivating.

Enthralling and addictive Open World-Adventure, which can set its own course despite obvious role models.

Metroid Prime Remastered is a brilliant reminder of why you love games.

Well made handheld port of one of the best JRPG with some sensible innovations.

There is never a second boredom here, because with the Quantum masks and the guest characters there are constantly new mechanics that go beyond (thrilling) jumping and running. I'm looking forward to going through the levels one more time in detail so that I can really discover all the secrets. I accept the funny skins for Crash and Coco as a reward.

With Split Fiction, developer Hazelight proves once again that they are the undisputed kings of fun co-op adventure games.

Varied turn-based strategy in watercolor-anime style with a humane story and a resonating anti-war message.

An RPG that is as extensive as it is extraordinary and that impresses with its lively world and great quest design.

Video game wrestling hasn't been this dynamic and fun in a long time.

Forza Motorsport is technically and playfully a blast, but the overall package doesn't quite reach the class of its predecessors.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits not only looks gorgeous, it additionally delights with challenging combat and simply enjoyable exploration.

I personally miss the subclasses from Part 2.

The fastest, most spectacular and most beautiful action game on the Nintendo Switch so far. Belongs in every collection.

Sure: Due to the weaker hardware, the switch version suffers from blemishes and technical problems that are more noticeable on the TV than on the small screen of the switch. But the great charm of The Witcher 3 ignites anyway in handheld mode.

A strong remake that conveys the bizarre atmosphere of the original, introduces harmonious new features and only has minor weaknesses.

Like no other game - despite small problems with the controls - stray lets us feel like a cat. And what more could you want?

Sugar sweet hero's journey in a believable fairy tale world, which convinces with its successful staging and the "in the middle of it" perspective.

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

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.

Octopath Traveler 2 is a successful sequel that builds on the strengths of its predecessor and brings meaningful improvements.

Quotation forthcoming.

The developers have managed a technically flawless port to the hybrid console, which does not need to hide from the version on the more powerful console from Microsoft.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 works just as well as the already fun predecessor. With "more of everything", the scope in terms of creative possibilities was once again significantly expanded. There are more recipes, more story, more features and, above all, a more focused campaign that finally feels like a big adventure. Nevertheless, I would have liked faster progress.

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

Scope, staging, story: Destiny 2 is better than part 1 in every respect, but in the end it's more like an evolution than a revolution.
