    Zombie Army 4: Dead War is the Farming Simulator among the shooting games. There is a therapeutic beauty in the systematic liquidation of zombie nazis, but the game simply does not offer that.

    Kingdom Hearts 3 Re Mind is not surprising. No new Disney worlds or characters, just a repetition of the last world from a different perspective. When it comes to boss fights though, Re Mind really gets interesting.

    Stranger's Wrath is charming, but it is getting a bit dated. This game used to be unique, but it seems very monotonous now. If you are huge fan this shouldn't be a problem, but we would not recommend it to newbies.

    Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is definitely a game for anime fans. If you are not familiar with this franchise, you will probably not enjoy this game as much. However, if you are a fan, this game is filled with everything we love about Goku and friends.

    This game is exactly what you'd expect: an hommage to the Nintendo DS classic with a few new features. Most of it is still great, but the infrared is technically lacking.

    Couch-co-op games are just the thing for you, but The Stretchers are a surprisingly nice addition to your collection within its genre. The cheerful gameplay, clumsy characters, and silly humor will certainly enhance the atmosphere in your living room.

    Is this your first Pokémon game? Welcome! You will immediately feel at home, because the game takes you through the region by hand.

    The Touryst is a fun day out, but ultimately not much more than that. The game is a bit short and manages to evoke quite a bit of irritation due to the sometimes very annoying (optional) mini-games.

    The remake of MediEvil can best be described as a missed opportunity. This was the moment to give Daniel a second chance and to re-introduce him to a younger audience, but Sony and Other Ocean seemed to be in a rush making this game on time for Halloween.

    Compared to its predecessor, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint offers mainly more possibilities for creating fun and exciting momens with friends. The flaws and bugs are offset by Ubisoft’s promise to continuously deliver new content for Breakpoint over the next few years. The French company has demonstrated with Rainbow Six Siege and Ghost Recon: Wildlands that they are committed to supporting their games for a long time, so there is a good chance that Breakpoint can play a lot better on your own in a year.

    Grid is an entertaining and sensational racing game, which unfortunately also has a lack of finish and presentation. This is nothing more than "just nice racing". For a lot of gamers, that might be enough - although the franchise has already shown in the past that there is more to it.

    Fifa 20 is all confetti. Pure speed, sensational counter football, and childish dances after a goal predominate. That is not criticism, it's a statement. It is really nice to beat an opponent with a lot of show, but Fifa has not much to do with "real" football this year.

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order shows that together is better. With more than thirty playable characters, there is a favorite for everyone.

    Dr Mario World is a freemium game and that shows. You play for a second and there is a wall of payments brought up. It is a fun game, but you can't really get everything out of it without using microtransactions.

    Sea of Solitude is very symbolic and effective when it comes to translating the concept of loneliness into a video game. Kays adventure offers a few emotional moments, but the platform and puzzle gameplay both make the journey a bit wobbly.

    The Sinking City is a fun game, but to really enjoy it there is a lot you'll have to put up with. Maybe that will be solved in the future, but at the moment the only thing that really saves this game is the amazing influence of Lovecraft.

    A dictator usually needs a lot of charisma and preferably no people that dare to stand up to him. Tropico 6 is just like it. As city builder it's not bad, but all those statistics, menus and the weird system for building are not awesome. But hey, Tropico is still one of a kind.

    BioWare is good at making complete worlds, like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. We wonder why it chose to offer us only half a world with Anthem. It looks amazing, but it needs a lot of work if we want to enjoy it for the next couple of years.

    Far Cry New Dawn does try a few news things and it adds a fresh new style to a known world, but it does not really go out of bounds. If you are not done with Far Cry yet, you will enjoy yourself but if you are done, this is just more of the same thing.

    Mario Party has offered us many treats over the years and it is fun to choose when you are playing them. However, there is not much room for motivation to play through, and it is not too easy to play this game with others, making it less of a party than it would be on a tv console.
