Helldivers 2 is an excellent co-op shooter, that sadly doesn't really build on its predecessor and instead puts a lot of the original content on a live-service road map. While the core gameplay is among the best of the genre, corporate greed ironically has sunken its claws deep into Super-Earth and the premium battle pass hides some of the most fun weapons and powerful armour behind a paywall, with more to come in the future.- GAMES.CH

Knockout City is the fun version of a dodgeball game that you can only play online. Despite the easy-to-learn gameplay, beginners may quickly lose interest thanks to difficult balancing.- GAMES.CH

While Endless Dungeon can be a blast in cooperative Multiplayer, the game lacks anything truly new or outstanding for this very popular genre. The tactical mix of tower defense, strategic exploration and traditional twin-stick shooting can be entertaining, but for solo players there’s just too many better, more interesting choices to play out there. This is one to delve in deep with a friend or two!- GAMES.CH

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes mainly delivers what the developers promised. It's a mostly very classical JRPG experience with beautiful graphics and great music. But while fans of the 90's JRPGs might get anything they love about these classics here, they also get nearly everything, that they might hate about them.- GAMES.CH

Once again, developer Spiders' game falls short of being a must-have RPG, primarily due to questionable game balance. However, Greedfall: The Dying World is ultimately a decent role playing game that fans of the genre, and especially those who have previously enjoyed the work of the French studio, shouldn't miss.- GAMES.CH

If you loved „Where is waldo?” you probably gonna like Crime o’Clock as well, especially if you are a beginner in this genre. It has story, humor, some minigames, an helpful AI and some technology which keeps the frustrating part of clueless, hour-long search away. The game is fun for some hours but then it gets quite repetitive, so we recommend to not play it in one go.- GAMES.CH

Reach already stands out from most of its VR competitors by offering a full game's worth of content and variety. While the core loop of puzzling and climbing is solid and is sometimes almost too immersive for VR beginners, the combat feels lacking throughout and slows the otherwise enjoyable experience down considerably. All in all, "Reach" is an undoubtedly fun experience, but feels like it's not living up to the full potential.- GAMES.CH

Unfortunately, KoF XV is not the big revolution it could have been. The title feels more like a slightly polished version of its predecessor, albeit with somewhat less content and scope. A no-brainer for fans of the series (especially because of the rollback netcode). But those who are not enthusiasts of the franchise will probably be happier with another current representative of the genre.- GAMES.CH

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a nice open world action game. But beside the great and detailed graphics there is nothing worse or better than solid. That might be enough, if you love the movies, but it's not enough to make Ubisoft's Avatar game a need to buy for action fans in general.- GAMES.CH

Return to Monkey Island is no high flyer, but a good classical adventure game, far away from disappointment. Essentially it is fan service pure. That's a huge benefit for lovers of Guybrush's adventures, but series beginners don't really profit from the mass of allusions in any area. The great puzzle design or the top voice-over do not change anything about that.- GAMES.CH

Stray makes the port to the Switch and the orange ball of fur lets us immerse ourselves in a dystopian world full of drones and robots. If you like cats, you should take a closer look at the game and be patient with the awkward controls.- GAMES.CH

King of Meat offers you dark fun in dungeons filled with deadly traps, where you risk your virtual life together with other challengers. However, the true strength of the action-platformer is revealed only in the extensive dungeon editor and the entertaining online co-op. A bitterly delightful pleasure.- GAMES.CH

Need for Speed Unbound feels like two steps forward, one step back. While the story progression serves as a nice motivation to get better cars and take risks with the police, the newest part of this once-beloved series still falls flat in some regards. Visual presentation is sub-par for a game that advertises itself as game built for the next generation of consoles. While gameplay is fun and taking a lot of inspiration from Burnout with its heavy reliance on drifting and boosts lee, there are a few issues as well. Police, while initially invigorating, quickly becomes a chore as chases drag on forever and can, in the worst case, reset player progress of over an hour. This is undoubtedly a step in the right direction, but “Need for Speed” is still not quite at the best it has been.- GAMES.CH

Mundaun especially knows how to convince with its artistic look, which is completely hand-painted. A folkloric horror fairy tale from Switzerland that you may not forget that quickly because of its calm nature.- GAMES.CH

Outbound successfully blends cozy exploration, light survival mechanics and creative base-building into a relaxing road-trip adventure. While the overwhelming amount of crafting stations and the slow early-game pacing can occasionally hurt the flow, the beautiful art style, satisfying progression loop and charming camper customization create a unique and atmospheric experience for fans of the genre.- GAMES.CH

Be a superhero girl and save Metropolis. DC Superhero Girls: Teen Power is a typical action adventure, which was surprisingly fun to play. Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl and her friends need to face a new threat: Robots and evil toys. The storyline is quite close to the original series on Netflix, same as the artstyle of the characters. The music of the the game is neither bad, nor good, quite average background music. The cutscenes in comparison are really lovely, all voiced over and with cute animations. The biggest surprise was, how different it feels to play each superhero or supervillain. Each character really has her own playstyle. Sadly we also have some critics: since mostly younger kids will play this game, why do we need an ingame social media called “Supersta”, where you need a certain amount of followers and likes to unluck some of the sidequests? The game would have had enough content without it. Instead they could have programmed a local multiplayer, so the parents could help on difficult missions, some of them are quite tricky. Especially the fly ability feels a bit clunky and hard to steer. Overall DC Superhero Girls: Teen Power can be recommended to all DC fans and fans of the Netflix series. If your kid wants to play it and your kid is still quite young, we recommend to play the game with him or her, since some missions are quite hard and it could be frustrating otherwise.- GAMES.CH

Ride 5 makes another small step into the right direction. The overall atmospheric career is a solid foundation, but also lacks additional production-value in its presentation. Ride 5 however does deliver on the track with very playable racing-gameplay, that not only challenges experienced players but also gives newcomers a chance to succeed.- GAMES.CH

Hell is Us impresses with its dense atmosphere and, to a large extent, its blend of action game and classical adventure. Initially, the lack of the excessive hand-holding of many other current games is appealing. However, later on, or for those who simply don't like puzzles or have trouble finding their way around, this enticing approach becomes increasingly lost. Overall, however, it's still a good action-adventure game that has a lot to offer, especially for old-school gamers and adventure fans.- GAMES.CH

Trains and Explosion! "Battle Tanks" combines the unlikely combination of Trains and Rogue-Likes to a sometimes grindy and hard but most of the time entertaining Genre-Mix-Up. Tchoo tchoo!- GAMES.CH

Copycat is a short, emotionally powerful game that leaves a strong impression despite its brief playtime. The storytelling is impactful, but the limited choices can feel restrictive. While the experience is memorable, some themes and emotional intensity may leave players with mixed feelings.- GAMES.CH

Solo Leveling: Arise is a convincing, easy-to-play action game with a slick combat system and great presentation. However, the sometimes miserably long grind, the gacha mechanics and other weaknesses prevent Jin-Woo from reaching the highest level in this version of his gripping adventure.- GAMES.CH

Caravan SandWitch definitely has its heart in the right place and impresses first and foremost with its interesting world and pleasantly relaxed atmosphere. However, uninspired missions and various technical errors hinder this charming adventure game from fully developing its undoubted potential.- GAMES.CH

The combat system is outstanding, and the barrenness of the game world can be considered stylish. However, the uninspired story, off-the-shelf characters, and a lot of downtime between battles are annoying. Lost Soul Aside feels like a sturdy and well-oiled skeleton that someone forgot to flesh out. So you constantly swing between enjoying the challenging monster duels and being annoyed by the many incomprehensible shortcomings that suggest the game should have just been finished at some point.- GAMES.CH

RoboCop: Rogue City surprises with beautiful and varied level design, fun shooter gameplay and nice detective quests. However, this is offset by wooden character animations, performance slumps in cutscenes and sound problems. The story stays too close to the movies and fails to add a memorable chapter to the RoboCop universe.- GAMES.CH

Mother Machine unleashes the Gremlins on the world and brings a sweet change into the gray everyday life. Even if the single-player mode quickly becomes repetitive and not particularly exciting, the multiplayer mode makes the game all the more worthwhile. If you're looking for an entertaining game for a group of friends, you'll find it here.- GAMES.CH

In some regards Slitterhead is fantastic. It offers an engaging story told through the perspective of several characters, a simple yet fun combat system that excels through the ability to possess different people at any moment and super cool monster design in the Slitterheads. Unfortunately a lot of the other aspects feel very underbaked. Stealth isn’t engaging at all and sometimes kills all the momentum the game had going, the controls are always snappy enough for what you want to do and some aspects of the presentation feel very oldschool. As a package the game is a lot of fun though and offers a glimpse into what the developers at Bokeh Game Studio are able to do in the future. That is certainly bright and hopefully brings more somewhat unique titles like Slitterhead certainly is.- GAMES.CH

In summary, Payday 3 shows promise with its solid core mechanics, but suffers from server issues, matchmaking problems, and a lack of content at the time of the review. Character progression is slow and frustrating, and there’s a need for improvements and additional content to enhance the overall experience. Subscribers to the Xbox Gamepass may find it worth trying out, but the game falls short of its potential.- GAMES.CH

If you love Tron then you will probably quickly fall in love with Tron: Catalyst. Characters, missions, world and lore are oozing with love and care for everything that Tron is. Unfortunately most of the gameplay can’t hold up to that. Combat is middling, the upgrade system is boring and while the time travel via your Glitch powers are exciting they are also extremely linear and narrow. This goes for the many dialogues that you’ll have as well. While freedom is suggested it doesn’t actually exist. Still: Tron: Catalyst is Tron to the bone and if you’re into that you will find a lot to love.- GAMES.CH

The idea for Drag x Drive is clearly inspired by Rocket League. Nintendo makes a unique and entertaining sports game out of it, that delivers a neat use of mouse and motion controls of the Joy-Con 2. But although it's much more than a clone, the game can't nearly reach its apparent template, especially concerning adaptability and other individualization options.- GAMES.CH

Directive 8020 delivers entertaining sci-fi horror with strong atmosphere, improved gameplay flow and impressive presentation. However, its predictable story, simplistic mechanics and weak German voice acting prevent Supermassive Games from reaching the heights of its best interactive horror experiences.- GAMES.CH
