    UEFA Euro 2012 disappoints. Not every playable mode works, and from a technical standpoint less improvements have been made in comparison to other tournament editions like Euro 2008 or World Cup 2010. The Expedition mode is the most interesting of the bunch, but doesn't even come close compared to the Ultimate Team modes from regular Fifa-titles.

    FarmVille 2: Country Escape does what you'd expect a social farming simulator to do. Developer Zynga has given the competition the space to introduce strong alternatives, like Hay Day. And righly so, because in the end, that's the better farming game.

    EVE Valkyrie seems to be between a tech demo and a full game. It is an 'okay' multiplayer shooter, that especially feels cool thanks to the virtual reality elements. But as soon as there are better shooters for Rift, EVE Valkyrie will no longer be relevant.

    The cheerful appearance and adult racism-metaphor suggest that The Last Tinker: City of Colors could be an intelligent piece of art. Nothing could be farther from the truth; they remain charming shells for a decent platformer.

    Dandara is amazing, but halfway through it starts to focus on all the wrong things. It really has its own unique style, but the fights are a drag because there is not enough room to move.

    It's not the fights, cause the new Break system makes Dead or Alive 6 a nice deep fighting game which you can enjoy for tens of hours. However, the hypersexualization of the female fighters, limited online possibilities and weak offline multiplayer make this a disappointing game.

    Thankfully the games are pretty much the same as they were, but the details in this remaster are disappointing. The PC-version specifically has to deal with a lot of issues and technical disappointments, so we advise you to pick a console version.

    The Unfinished Swan tries to touch the player with a special aesthetic and a unique gameplay concept, but it only succeeds on an average level. It loses itself too much in trying to be something special and never really grabs the player because of it. It lacks unity and continuity and therefore doesn't let its beautiful mold settle, which leaves the game with a pretty aura, instead of a soul.

    The Sims Legacy Collections is exactly as you remember the games, chaos, bugs, glitches and all. The Sims 1 and 2 are iconic for a reason and are still just as entertaining 25 years later as the day they came out. For the true Sims lover who can accept a few crashes, they are definitely worth playing for the nostalgic feeling, even though the technical state of both games is not optimal.

    You should ask yourself if you are satisfied with more of the same. Were the two adventures of DeathSpank enough for you? The small changes can't cover up the signs of weariness that's creeping in this series.

    Beyond Light is especially worthwhile if you're not demanding that many substantial changes from Destiny 2 and you're over-invested in the franchise's lore. If you're more interested in Beyond Light because you're hoping for a new era of Destiny 2, you'll come home from a rude awakening.

    This is a good puzzle game with fun characters and beautiful surroundings, but the level of the old Layton games is still a lot better. The quality of the puzzles has decreased and the story simply does not stick.

    Resistance: Burning Skies brings the series' strong points to a handheld with a good arsenal of weapons and lots of action. Other than that, the game achieves little.

    1-2-Switch is a unique game thanks to the Joy-Con controllers. It is a party starter, but the party will not last very long.

    Frogwares shows that it really knows the Lovecraft universe and it dares to make it their own thing. As a game, The Sinking City, unfortunately, is not that strong.

    After many delays Smoke and Mirrors was finally released, that visibly shows that it suffered under the haste of the developers. Besides from sitting back and watching an interesting story, there isn’t much to do in this episode, that has been shortened and has quite a few nasty bugs.

    Knytt Underground starts of very slowly and hardly convinces with its simple gameplay and a monotonously constructed adventure. It's also quite grating that the narrative context forms a departure in style from its otherwise pretty visualized levels. But in the third chapter of the game, developer Nifflas's creation comes into its own. It turns out to offer a wonderfully balanced challenge by letting players explore a huge world filled with inventive puzzles and fun platfoming action.

    Evil West is not very good, but that doesn't mean it's not fun. There is enough amusement and it's refreshingly free from finery and unnecessary gameplay mechanics.

    Chinatown Detective Agency embraces its tough puzzles and encourages you to figure out the answers yourself through search engines. This is a unique approach that also presents unique problems.

    Mega Jump 2 is mostly more of the same. Who played the first game, will undoubtedly enjoy the second, were it not for the new options, that’ll do anything to bleed you dry financially.

    The same lousy fighting system without adding any experience points, the same locations and the same characters; there is way too much Sticker Star in Color Splash. Thankfully the dialogue is awesome, but it could have been much better.

    Paper Mario's first outing on a handheld device is pretty charming, but the paper is starting to tear. The lack of RPG-elements make the fights feel pointless and some strange decisions lead to frustrating moments. Despite all the stickers, his game doesn't stick.

    Moon is often slow and frustratingly illogical. But look past the wrinkles of this long-forgotten game and you'll discover an adventure game that was in some ways way ahead of its time.

    The flying and shooting works wonderfully well in Iron Man VR, but the repetitive battles against the same drone enemies over and over again quickly bore us.

    Deadpool proves that he deserves his own game. It also proves that a strong character with a lot of personality can hide a number of discomforts and gameplay related frustrations. Whenever Deadpool stops making jokes, this becomes painfully obvious. But just when you're about to quit, the joker returns to keep you playing.

    In Ode Ubisoft Reflections takes another experimental look at exploration in games, this time with a main focus on music. It is fun, but it does not really stick like other titles did.

    The combination between word puzzle and platformer makes Typoman very unique and entertaining. Unfortunately the controls are not comfortable and the logic of the puzzles is a bit lost at the end of the game, which makes Typoman a little too frustrating to enjoy.
